Miscellaneous. Borrowers agree to take such further action as Agent or any Lender shall reasonably request in connection herewith to evidence the amendments herein contained to the Loan Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia. This Agreement embodies the
entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written negotiations, agreements and understandings of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, except
the agreements embodied in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan documents (as modified herein). Time is of the essence of this Agreement and of the Loan Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrowers, Lenders and Agent have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.

                           (8) the balance of the Purchase  Price at the Closing

the amount of any advertising time remaining to be run under the Station's trade

                           (i) If on the Closing Date the Net  Financial  Assets
of the Company are less than Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars  ($750,000.00)
(the "Working Capital Shortfall"),  the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the
amount of the Working Capital Shortfall.

                           (ii) Seller  shall  prepare and deliver to  Purchaser
not later  than  five (5) days  before  the  Closing  a  preliminary  settlement
statement for  Purchaser's  approval  (which  approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld)  which  shall  set  forth  Seller's  good  faith  estimate  of the Net
Financial  Assets.  The preliminary  settlement  statement shall (A) contain all
information  reasonably  necessary to determine the Net Financial  Assets to the
extent such can be  determined  or estimated  as of the date of the  preliminary
settlement statement,  and such other information as may be reasonably requested
by Purchaser, and (B) be certified by Seller to be true and complete to Seller's
knowledge as of the date thereof.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                           (iii)  Not later  than  ninety  (90)  days  after the
Closing  Date,  Purchaser  will  deliver  to Seller a  statement  setting  forth
Purchaser's  determination of the Net Financial Asset  calculation.  Purchaser's
statement (A) shall contain all  information  reasonably  necessary to determine
the Net  Financial  Assets  and  such  other  information  as may be  reasonably
requested  by Seller,  and (B) shall be  certified  by  Purchaser to be true and
complete to Purchaser's Knowledge as of the date thereof. If Seller disputes the
amount of such Net Financial Asset calculation determined by Purchaser, he shall
deliver  to  Purchaser  within  thirty  (30) days after  receipt of  Purchaser's
statement, a statement setting forth his determination of the amount of such Net
Financial Asset  calculation.  If Seller notifies Purchaser of its acceptance of
Purchaser's  statement,  or if Seller fails to deliver his statement  within the
thirty  (30)  day  period  specified  in  the  preceding  sentence,  Purchaser's
determination  of the Net Financial Asset  calculations  shall be conclusive and
binding on the parties as of the last day of the thirty (30) day period.

                           (iv)  Purchaser  and  Seller  shall  use  good  faith
efforts to resolve any dispute  involving the determination of the Net Financial
Asset calculation. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within forty
five (45) days  following  the delivery of all of  Purchaser's  statements to be
provided  pursuant to Section  3.2(iii) after the Closing,  Purchaser and Seller
shall jointly  designate an  independent  certified  public  accounting  firm of
national  standing which has not regularly  provided  services to the Purchaser,
Seller,  or  the  Company  in the  last  three  (3)  years,  and  who  shall  be
knowledgeable  and  experienced  in the  operation  of  television  broadcasting
stations,  to resolve  the  dispute.  If the  parties are unable to agree on the
designation of an independent certified public accounting firm, the selection of
the accounting  firm to resolve the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration to
be held in Buffalo,  New York, in  accordance  with the  commercial  arbitration
rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The accounting firm's resolution
of the dispute shall be final and binding on the parties,  and a judgment may be
entered  thereon  in any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction.  Any  fees of this
accounting firm and, if necessary,  for  arbitration to select such  accountant,
shall be divided equally between the parties.

                           (v) Once a final  resolution  as to the Net Financial
Assets calculation has been made, Seller shall cause to be paid to Purchaser any
amount determined by such final resolution to be due and owing to Purchaser.  In
the event  Seller does not make the  payment  required  by this  Section  3.2(v)
within  five  (5)  Business  days  from the  date of such  final  determination,
Purchaser   shall  have  the  right  to  payment   of  such   amount   from  the
Indemnification  Escrow,  and Seller  shall  execute  such  documentation  as is
necessary to instruct the Escrow Agent to release such payment to the

                                       5
<PAGE>

Purchaser from the Indemnification Escrow; provided,  however, that Seller shall
replenish the  Indemnification  Escrow in the amount so paid to Purchaser within
five (5) days after any distribution to Purchaser under this Section 3.2(v).

                                    SECTION 4

                                     CLOSING

         4.1. The closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the
"Closing"),  subject to  fulfillment  or waiver of the  conditions  set forth in
Section 11 hereof,  shall be held at the  offices  of Thomas &  Libowitz,  P.A.,
Suite 1100, 100 Light Street,  Baltimore,  Maryland  21202,  at 10:00 A.M. local
time (but  shall be  deemed to have  occurred  at the close of  business  on the
immediately  preceding  day),  on the later to occur of (a) five  Business  Days
after all applicable  waiting  periods under the H-S-R Act shall have expired or
terminated,  (b) five Business Days after the FCC Application has been approved,
or (c) the parties  mutually agree upon a different date or location (the actual
date of Closing being the "Closing Date"); provided, however, that, in the event
Closing pursuant to (a) or (b) above would be scheduled for a Business Day after
the fifteenth (15th) day of any month, then Purchaser, at its sole election, may

All the  outstanding  shares of the Stock have been validly issued and are fully

                           c. NO  CONFLICTS.  Except as  described  on  Schedule

articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Company,  (ii) violate any provision
of applicable  law, rule and  regulation,  or (iii) conflict with or result in a
breach  of,  or give  rise to a right  of  termination  of,  or  accelerate  the

                           d. REAL  PROPERTY.  Schedule 5.2d contains a complete
description of all Leased Real Property  (including  street address,  owner, and
the Company's use thereof).  The Company owns no Owned Real  Property.  The Real
Property  Interests  listed on Schedule  5.2d  comprise  all  interests  in real
property currently used by the Company and necessary to conduct the Business and
operations  of the Station as now  conducted.  Except as  described  on Schedule
5.2d,  the Company has good title to all Real Property  Interests free and clear
of  all  liens,  mortgages,   pledges,   covenants,   easements,   restrictions,
encroachments,  leases,  charges,  and  other  claims  and  encumbrances,  which
restricts  the Company's  interest in, or use of, the Real  Property  Interests,
except for Permitted  Encumbrances.  Each leasehold or subleasehold  interest is
included as a Material Contract on Schedule 5.2l and is legal,  valid,  binding,
enforceable,  and in full  force and  effect.  The  Company  is not in  default,
violation,  or breach under any lease or sublease, and no event has occurred and
is  continuing  that  constitutes  (with  notice or  passage  of time or both) a
default, violation, or breach thereunder.

                                       8
<PAGE>

To the  Company's  Knowledge,  the  Company  has not  received  any  notice of a
default, offset, or counterclaim under any lease or sublease with respect to any
of the Real Property  Interests.  The Company  enjoys  peaceful and  undisturbed
possession of the Real Property  Interests;  and so long as the Company fulfills
its obligations under the lease therefor,  the Company has enforceable rights to
nondisturbance  and quiet enjoyment  against its lessor or sublessor and, except
as set forth in Schedule  5.2d,  no third party holds any interest in the leased
premises  with the right to foreclose  upon Seller's  leasehold or  subleasehold
interest. To the Company's Knowledge, the Company has legal and practical access
to all of the Real Property Interests. Except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule
5.2d  all  towers,  guy  anchors,   ground  radials,  and  buildings  and  other
improvements included in the Real Property Interests are located entirely on the
Real Property  Interests  listed in Schedule 5.2d.  All Real Property  Interests
(including  the  improvements  thereon)  (a) are in good  condition  and  repair
consistent  with its current use, (b) are  available  for  immediate  use in the
conduct of the Business  and  operations  of the Station,  and (c) comply in all
material respects with all applicable  material building or zoning codes and the
regulations of any  governmental  authority having  jurisdiction,  except to the
extent that the current use by the  Company,  while  permitted,  constitutes  or
would  constitute  a  "nonconforming  use"  under  current  zoning  or land  use
regulations.  No eminent domain or  condemnation  proceedings are pending or, to
the  Company's  Knowledge,  threatened  with respect to any of the Real Property
Interests.

                           e. TANGIBLE PERSONAL  PROPERTY.  Except for the items

any security interest,  mortgage,  pledge, conditional sales agreement, or other
lien or  encumbrance,  except for  Permitted  Encumbrances.  With  allowance for
normal  repairs,  maintenance,  wear and  obso-lescence,  each  material item of
tangible  personal  property is in good operating  condition and repair,  and is

connection with the Grant II Spin-Off,  the tangible personal property comprises
all the tangible personal  property  currently used by the Company and necessary
to conduct the Business and operations of the Station as now conducted.

                           g. FCC.  The Company and the Station are  operated in
material  compliance with the terms of the FCC Licenses,  the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended,  and applicable rules,  regulations and policies of the FCC
("FCC Rules and  Regulations").  All FCC  Licenses,  a true and complete list of
which is set forth on Schedule  5.2g,  and true and  complete  copies of each of
which have been  delivered to Purchaser  have been validly  issued and are valid
and in full force and effect.  The FCC Licenses listed on Schedule 5.2g comprise
all of the material licenses,  permits, and other  authorizations  required from
any governmental or regulatory  authority for the lawful conduct of the business
and  operations of the Station in the manner and to the full extent as it is now
conducted.  Except as set forth on  Schedule  5.2g,  no  application,  action or
proceeding  is  pending  for  the  renewal  or  modification  of any of the  FCC
Licenses,  and there is not now before the FCC any  investigation  or  complaint
against the Company or relating to the Station,  the  unfavorable  resolution of
which would impair the qualifications of the Company or Grant II to hold any FCC
Licenses.  Except as set forth on Schedule 5.2g, there is no proceeding  pending
before the FCC, and the Company has received no notice of violation from the FCC
with respect to the Station.  Except as set forth on Schedule  5.2g, the Company
has received no order or notice of violation issued by any  governmental  entity
which  permits  revocation,  adverse  modification  or  termination  of any  FCC
License.  To the  Company's  Knowledge,  there  exist no facts or  circumstances
relating to the Company,  Seller or any  Affiliate of the Company or Seller that
would  prohibit or delay FCC  approval of the FCC  Application  and the Grant II
Spin-Off.  Except as set forth on  Schedule  5.2g,  none of the FCC  Licenses or
other  licenses is subject to any  restriction  or condition  which requires any
material change in the operation of the Station as currently  operated.  The FCC
Licenses  listed  in  Schedule  5.2g are  currently  in  effect  and,  except as
disclosed on the Schedules, are not subject to any liens, or other encumbrances.
The Company has filed an  application  for a  construction  permit for a digital
television  facility,  as set forth in Schedule  5.2g,  and will  prosecute that
application  diligently and in compliance with all applicable FCC deadlines.  No
license  renewal  applications  are  pending  with  respect  to any  of the  FCC
Licenses,  but the  Company  must file an  application  for  renewal  of the FCC
Licenses on or before  February 1, 2007. As of the date hereof,  the Company has
received  no notice or other  information  to the effect  that the FCC would not
renew the FCC  Licenses in the  ordinary  course for a full license term without
any adverse conditions,  upon the timely filing of appropriate  applications and
payment of the  required  filing  fee.  As of the date  hereof,  the Company has
received  no notice or other  information  to the effect  that the FCC would not
grant the FCC Application in the ordinary course without any adverse conditions.
All documents required by 47 C.F.R.  Section 73.3526 to be kept in the Station's
public  inspection  files are in such file,  and such file will be maintained in
proper  order and  complete up to and through the Closing  Date,  except for any
such  immaterial

                                       12

documents.  The Company has filed all material reports and filings with the FCC,
has registered its antennas, and has paid all regulatory fees.

                           h. INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY. Set forth on Schedule 5.2h
is a complete  list of all  Intellectual  Property  owned by or  licensed to the
Company on the date hereof and,  except as otherwise  set forth on Schedule 5.2h
hereto,  the  Company  owns  such  Intellectual  Property  free and clear of any
royalty,  lien,  encumbrance or charge and does not interfere with the rights of
others.  Except as set forth on Schedule  5.2h, the Company has not received any
written notice or written claim that any such Intellectual Property is not valid
or  enforceable,  or of any  infringement  upon or  conflict  with  any  patent,
trademark,  service  mark,  copyright  or trade  name of any third  party by the
Company.  Except as set forth on  Schedule  5.2h,  the Company has not given any
notice  of  infringement  to  any  third  party  with  respect  to  any  of  the
Intellectual Property, and no such infringement exists.

                           i.  EMPLOYEE   BENEFIT   PLANS.   With  respect,   as
applicable, to Benefit Plans and Benefit Arrangements:

Affiliates;  (G)  all  notices  the  IRS,  Department  of  Labor,  or any  other
governmental  agency or entity  issued to the Company  within the four (4) years

                                    (ii) Schedule 5.2i completely and accurately
lists all  Company  Plans and  Company  Benefit  Arrangements  and  specifically
identifies any that are Qualified  Plans.  The Qualified  Plans are qualified in
form and  operation  under Code Section  401(a) and have a currently  applicable
determination  letter  from the  Internal  Revenue  Service,  and the trusts are
exempt under Code  Section  501,  and nothing has  occurred  with respect to the
Qualified Plan or such trusts that, to the Company's Knowledge,  could cause the
loss of such  qualification  or  exemption  or the  imposition  of any  material
liability,  lien,  penalty,  or tax  under  ERISA or the  Code,  other  than the
obligation to make contributions in accordance with the Qualified Plans.

                                    (iii)  Each  Company  Plan and each  Company
Benefit  Arrangement  has been  maintained  in accordance  with its  constituent
documents  and with all  applicable  provisions  of the  Code,  ERISA  and other
domestic and foreign laws, including federal, state, and foreign securities laws
and all laws respecting  reporting and disclosure,  in each case in all material
respects. No Company Plan holds employer securities.

                                    (iv) Except as disclosed  on Schedule  5.2i,
the  Company  has  no  ERISA  Affiliates.   The  Company  has  never  sponsored,
maintained, or had any liability (direct or indirect, actual or contingent) with
respect to any Benefit  Plan  subject to Title IV of ERISA,  and the Company has
never  made  or  been  obligated  to make or  reimbursed  or been  obligated  to
reimburse  another employer for,  contributions to any  multi-employer  plan (as
defined in ERISA,  Section 3(37)). The Company has no liability (whether actual,
contingent or otherwise) with respect to any Benefit Plan or Benefit Arrangement
that is not a Company Benefit Plan or Arrangement.

                                    (iv) With respect to each Pension Plan,  (I)
neither the Company nor any ERISA  Affiliate  has  terminated  or  withdrawn  or
sought a funding waiver, and no facts exist that could reasonably be expected to
cause such actions;  (II) no accumulated  funding deficiency (under Code Section
412 and without  regard to waivers)  exists or has existed;  (III) no reportable
event (as defined in ERISA Section 4043) has occurred;  (IV) all costs have been
provided  for on the  basis of  consistent  methods  in  accordance  with  sound
actuarial  assumptions and practices;  (V) the assets,  as of its last valuation
date,   exceeded  its  "Benefit   Liabilities"  (as  defined  in  ERISA  Section
4001(a)(16));  and (VI)  since  the last  valuation  date,  there  have  been no
amendments  or changes to increase  the amounts of  benefits  and, to  Company's
Knowledge,  nothing  has  occurred  that would  reduce the excess of assets over
benefit liabilities in such plans;

                                       14
<PAGE>

                                    (v)  No  claims  or  lawsuits   (other  than
routine  benefit  claims) have been  asserted,  instituted,  or  threatened  by,
against, or relating to any Company Plan or Company Benefit Arrangement,  and to
the  Company's  Knowledge,  there is no fact that  could  form the basis for any
material  liability  of  either in the event of any such  claim or  lawsuit.  No
Company Plans or Company  Benefit  Arrangements  are or have been under audit or
examination (nor has notice been received of a potential audit or examination by
any domestic or foreign  governmental  agency or entity  (including the Internal
Revenue  Service and Department of Labor);  and no matters are pending under the
Internal Revenue  Service's  Employee Plans Compliance  Resolution System in any
successor or predecessor program.

                                    (vi)  No  Company  Plan or  Company  Benefit
Arrangement contains any provision or is subject to any law that would give rise
to any  vesting  of  benefits,  severance,  termination,  or other  payments  or

<PAGE>

reasonable  opportunity to review and consent to the filing of such Tax Returns,

                                    SECTION 9

                      ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND UNDERTAKINGS

         9.1. FURTHER  ASSURANCES AND ASSISTANCE.  Purchaser,  the Company,  and
Seller  agree  that  each  will  execute  and  deliver  to the other any and all
documents,  in  addition to those  expressly  provided  for herein,  that may be
necessary or appropriate to implement the provisions of this Agreement,  whether
before, at, or after the Closing. The parties agree to cooperate with each other
to any extent reasonably  required in order to accomplish fully the transactions
herein contemplated.

Agreement  and until the  Closing  Date,  shall  cause the  Company  to (a) give

the  Company,  which shall be prepared and  delivered  to  Purchaser  each month

agent thereof to (i) disrupt the  Business,  or (ii) contact any employee of the
Company  without  providing  reasonable  prior  notice to Seller and  allowing a
representative  of Seller to be  present.  The Company and Seller will use their
commercially  reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of its auditors to permit
inclusion  of the  Financial  Statements  in  applicable  securities  filings of
Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. ("SBGI").  If Purchaser  requests,  it shall have
the immediate right, without causing unreasonable disruption to the Business, to

the Station's financial information,  and, subject to the foregoing, the Company
and Seller shall cooperate with  Purchaser's  reasonable  requests in connection
with such audit, including,  without limitation,  giving all reasonable consents
thereto as long as any expenses thereof are borne by Purchaser.

         9.3.  CONDUCT OF BUSINESS PRIOR TO CLOSING.  Except as  contemplated by
this Agreement,  from and after the date hereof,  Seller shall cause the Company
to conduct,  and the Company shall conduct,  its Business in the ordinary course
consistent  with past practice.  Except as  contemplated by this Agreement or as
consented to by Purchaser (which consent may be withheld in Purchaser's sole and
absolute  discretion),  from and after the date hereof,  Seller shall act, shall
cause the Company to act, and the Company shall act, as follows:

                  (c) Except for the  disposition  of obsolete  equipment in the
ordinary  course of business and except as  contemplated  by Section 2.5 of this
Agreement,  the Company will not sell, mortgage,  pledge or otherwise dispose of
any material assets or properties owned,  leased or used in the operation of the
Business;

                  (d) The Company will not merge or  consolidate  with, or agree
to  merge  or  consolidate  with,  or  purchase  or  agree  to  purchase  all or
substantially  all of the assets of, or otherwise  acquire,  any other  business
entity;

                  (e) The Company will not  authorize for  issuance,  issue,  or
sell any  additional  shares of its  capital  stock  except as  required  by the
exercise of options  outstanding  on the date hereof as  described in Annex 2 or
issue any securities or obligations  convertible or exchangeable  into shares of
its  capital  stock or issue or grant  any  option,  warrant  or other  right to
purchase any shares of its capital stock;

                  (f) The Company  will not incur,  or agree to incur,  any debt
for borrowed money;

                  (g)  The  Company  will  not  change  its  historic  practices
concerning the payment of accounts payable;

                                       28
<PAGE>

                  (h) The Company will not declare,  issue, or otherwise approve
the payment of dividends of any kind in respect of the Stock or redeem, purchase
or acquire any of its capital stock;

                  (i) The Company shall maintain the existing insurance policies
on the assets of the Station or other policies providing  substantially  similar
coverages;

                  (j)  Except  in  the  ordinary  course  of  its  Business  and
consistent  with past  practice or except as otherwise as  contemplated  by this
Agreement,  the Company will not permit any increases in the compensation of any
of the employees of the Station  except as required by law or existing  contract
or  agreement  or enter  into or  amend  any  Company  Plan or  Company  Benefit
Arrangement; provided, however, that in no event shall any individual employee's
compensation  increase exceed five percent (5%) of their  compensation as of the
date hereof or as disclosed on any Schedule hereto;

                  (k)  Except  in  the  ordinary  course  of  its  Business  and
consistent with past practice, the Company shall not enter into or renew, extend
or terminate, or waive any contract or commitment relating to the Station or the
assets of the Station, or incur any obligation that will be binding on Purchaser
after  Closing  without the prior written  consent of  Purchaser,  which consent
shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  except for sixty (60) calendar days after
the date hereof in respect of programming contracts,  Purchaser may withhold its
consent  for any  reason  and,  in any event only to the  extent  such  renewal,
extension,  termination,  or waiver  does not  exceed  Twenty  Thousand  Dollars
($20,000.00)  for  any  one  contract  or One  Hundred  Fifty  Thousand  Dollars
($150,000.00)  in the aggregate for all Contracts.  For purposes of this Section
9.3k,  Seller and the Company  acknowledge that it shall not be unreasonable for
Purchaser  to withhold  its consent to approve any  programming  contract  where
Purchaser (i) is acting in good faith and not for any competitive advantage,  or
(ii) in good faith has reason to conclude  that it can acquire such  programming
on better terms.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained herein, if
Purchaser  shall  withhold  its  consent  to  the  Company   entering  into  any
programming  contract,  no television  station located in the Buffalo designated
market area which is owned and/or programmed by any Affiliate of Purchaser shall
enter into a programming contract with respect to the same program.

                  (l) Except for the Grant II  Spin-Off,  the Company  shall not
enter into any  transactions  with any  Affiliate  of the Company or Seller that
will be binding upon Purchaser or the Station following the Closing Date;

replacements  thereof in good operating  condition and adequate  repair,  normal
wear and tear excepted;

                  (n) The Company shall, in connection with the operation of the
Station, make expenditures  materially consistent with the estimates of expenses
set forth in the Company's  operating  budget as set forth on Schedule 9.3n and,
including,   without   limitation,   the  Company  shall  make  such  consistent
expenditures in respect to promotional,  programming and engineering  activities
for the Station (and any employee  expenditures  related to such activities) for
any period covered by the current  operating budget of the Station and otherwise
in connection with past practice;

                  (o) The  Company  shall not make or change  any Tax  election,
amend  any Tax  Return,  or take or omit to take  any  other  action  not in the
ordinary  course of business and  consistent  with past practice that would have
the effect of increasing  any Taxes of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any
Taxes of the Company.

                  (p) The Company shall file all Tax Returns when due; provided,
however,  that, with the exception of payroll tax filings in the ordinary course
of the Company's  business and consistent with past practice,  the Company shall
not file any material Tax Return without  providing  Purchaser  with  reasonable
opportunity  to review  and  consent  to the  filing of such Tax  Return,  which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

                  (q) The Company shall use its  reasonable  efforts  consistent
with past practice to preserve the Business and  organization of the Station and
to keep  available  to the  Station its present  employees  and to preserve  the
audience of the Station and the Station's present  relationships with suppliers,
advertisers, and others having business relations with it.

         9.4.  H-S-R ACT. Each of Purchaser  and Seller  shall,  within five (5)
Business  Days  following  the date  hereof,  file duly  completed  and executed
Pre-Merger  Notification  and Report  Forms as required  under the H-S-R Act and
shall  otherwise use their  respective  best efforts to comply promptly with any
requests  made by the Federal  Trade  Commission  or the  Department  of Justice
pursuant to the H-S-R Act or the regulations promulgated thereunder.  All filing
fees and other similar  payments in connection with the H-S-R Act shall be split
equally by Purchaser and the Company.

         9.5.     FCC APPLICATION.

                  (a) The Company and Seller shall,  on the date this  Agreement
is signed by Seller,  the Company,  and  Purchaser,  file (or cause to be filed)
with the FCC the FCC Application, and shall in good faith and with due diligence
take all  reasonable  steps  necessary  to expedite  the  processing  of the FCC
Application  and to secure  such  consents  or  approvals  as  expeditiously  as
practicable.

                  (b) Seller  shall cause the  Company,  and the Company  shall,

after the  Closing  with  respect to the  transactions  contemplated  under this
Agreement or the Grant II APA, by Grant II,  Purchaser,  the Company,  or Seller
shall be mailed to the other simultaneously with the filing of the same with the
FCC or as soon as practicable  thereafter.  The Company shall bear its own costs
and expenses (including the fees and disbursements of its counsel) in connection
with the preparation, filing, and prosecution of the FCC Application.

                  (c) Seller  and the  Company  will use their  best  efforts to
fulfill and perform all  conditions and  obligations  necessary to cause the FCC
Application to be approved as expeditiously as possible after the date hereof.

         9.6. BOOKS AND RECORDS.  Following the Closing,  Purchaser shall permit
Seller (a) to have  reasonable  access to the books and records of Purchaser and
those  retained or  maintained  by the Company  relating to the operation of the
Business  prior to the  Closing or after the  Closing  to the extent  related to
transactions  or  events  occurring  prior  to the  Closing,  and  (b)  to  have
reasonable   access  to  employees  of  the  Company  and  Purchaser  to  obtain
information  relating to such matters.  Purchaser  shall maintain such books and
records for a period of three (3) years following the Closing.

         9.7.  CONTROL OF STATION.  From the date hereof until the Closing Date,
subject  to the  express  provisions  of this  Agreement,  Purchaser  shall  not
directly  or  indirectly  control,  supervise,  or direct the  operation  of the

         9.8.     EMPLOYEE MATTERS.

                  (a) Five (5)  Business  Days prior to the  Closing,  Purchaser
shall  notify  the  Company of those  employees  of the  Company  that are to be
terminated.  Seller shall be responsible and have the obligation for the payment
of any and all  obligations  and  liabilities  arising  from  such  termination,
including, but not limited to, payment of any and

                                       31
<PAGE>

all severance payments,  bonuses, retention payments,  payments due to employees
for any compensatory  shares or options,  or other obligations of the Company to
such  terminated  employees  whether due before,  on, or after the Closing Date.
Anything to the  contrary in this  Agreement  notwithstanding,  the  individuals
listed on  Schedule  9.8(a)  (the  "Retained  Employees")  shall  not  remain as
employees  of the Company  after the Closing  Date and may be hired by Seller or
his  Affiliates  after the Closing Date.  Neither  Purchaser nor its  Affiliates
shall hire any of the  Retained  Employees  for two (2) years  after the Closing
Date.

                  (b) For two (2) years after the Closing Date,  neither  Seller
nor Seller's or the Company's  Affiliates  shall hire any of the employees  that
have not been  terminated by the Company  pursuant to the  provisions of Section
9.8(a).  This provision will not apply to any employee terminated as provided in
Section 9.8(a) above.

         9.9.     INTERRUPTION OF BROADCAST TRANSMISSION.

                  (a)  In  the  event  of  any  loss,   damage  or   impairment,
confiscation  or  condemnation  of any of the assets of the Station prior to the
completion of the Closing that materially  interferes with the normal  operation
of  the  Station,  the  Company  shall  notify  Purchaser  of  same  in  writing
immediately,  specifying  with  particularity  the loss,  damage or  impairment,
confiscation or condemnation incurred, the cause thereof, if known or reasonably
ascertainable,  and the insurance coverage. The Company shall apply the proceeds
of any insurance  policy,  judgment or award with respect  thereto and take such
other commercially reasonable actions, as determined in its sole discretion,  as
are necessary to repair,  replace or restore such assets of the Station to their
prior  condition  as soon as possible  after such loss,  damages or  impairment,
confiscation or condemnation.

                  (b) If before the Closing Date,  due to damage or  destruction
of the assets of the Station, the regular broadcast  transmission of the Station
in the  normal  and usual  manner  is  interrupted  for a period of twelve  (12)
continuous  hours or more,  the Company shall give prompt written notice thereof
to  Purchaser.  If on the Closing  Date,  due to damages or  destruction  of the
assets of the Station the regular  broadcast  transmission of the Station in the
normal and usual manner is interrupted such that the regular broadcast signal of
such Station  (including  its  effective  radiated  power) is  diminished in any
material  respect,  then (i) the Company shall  immediately  give written notice
thereof to Purchaser;  and (ii) Purchaser shall have the right, by giving prompt
written notice to Seller, to postpone the Closing Date for a period of up to one
hundred twenty (120) days.

                                       32
<PAGE>

                  (c) In the event the Station's  normal and usual  transmission
has not been resumed by the Closing  Date as  postponed  pursuant to section (b)
above,  Purchaser may, pursuant to Section 14.1(e),  terminate this Agreement by
written notice to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Purchaser may,
at its option,  proceed to close this Agreement and complete the restoration and
replacement  of any damaged  assets of the Station  after the Closing  Date,  in
which  event,  Seller  shall cause the Company to deliver or assign to Purchaser
all insurance or other proceeds  received in connection  therewith to the extent
such  proceeds are received by or payable to the Company and have not  therefore
been used in or committed to the  restoration or replacement of the assets,  but
Seller shall have no other  liability or  obligation  to Purchaser in connection
therewith.

                  (d) If before the Closing Date,  due to damage or  destruction
of the assets the regular  broadcast  transmission  of the Station in the normal
and usual manner is interrupted  for a period of twelve (12)  continuous days or
more,  Seller  shall give  prompt  written  notice  thereof  (the  "Interruption
Notice") to Purchaser.  Upon receipt of the Interruption Notice, Purchaser shall
have the right,  in its sole and absolute  discretion,  by giving prompt written
notice  thereof  to  Seller  within  two (2)  Business  Days of the  date of the
Interruption  Notice,  to terminate this Agreement with the effect  specified in
Section 14.2(a) hereof.

                  (e) The  provisions of this Section 9.9 shall not apply to the
matter set forth on Schedule 9.9.

         9.10.  NON-SOLICITATION.  From the  date of this  Agreement  until  the
Closing,  or the earlier  termination of this  Agreement in accordance  with its
terms,  Seller shall not, and shall not cause (and will use  reasonable  efforts
not to permit) any affiliates, directors, officers, employees,  representatives,
or agents of the  Company,  to,  directly or  indirectly,  solicit or  initiate,
entertain, or enter into any discussions or transactions with or encourage or to
provide any information  to, any Person  concerning any sale of the Stock or the
assets of the Company or the membership interests or the assets of Grant II.

         9.11.  GRANT II SPIN-OFF.  Seller shall use his  reasonable  efforts to
cause the Grant II Spin-Off to occur.

specifically  identified on Schedule  10.1(v),  or (B) to the extent included as
liabilities in the calculation of Net Financial Assets;

                           (vi) any  obligations  or  liabilities of the Company

shall be subject to the following limitations:

                  (a)  Notwithstanding  anything  contained in this Agreement or
applicable law to the contrary,  Purchaser  agrees that the payment of any claim
(whether such claim is framed in tort, contract, or otherwise) made by Purchaser
for indemnification  hereunder  subsequent to the Closing Date, shall be limited
to, and shall only be made from, the  Indemnification  Escrow in accordance with
the  Indemnification  Escrow  Agreement,  and  except  for  claims  against  the
Indemnification  Escrow,  Purchaser  waives  and  releases,  and  shall  have no
recourse  against,  Seller  as a result  of the  breach  of any  representation,
warranty,   covenant,   or  agreement  of  Seller  contained  herein,  and  such
indemnification  shall be the sole  and  exclusive  remedy  for  Purchaser  with
respect to any such claim for indemnification  after the Closing Date; provided,
however,  that  nothing  herein  shall be deemed to limit any rights or remedies
that Purchaser may have for Seller's fraud. The Indemnification  Escrow shall be
disbursed in accordance with the Indemnification Escrow Agreement.

                  (b)  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of Section 10.1 hereof,
Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification or to receive indemnification
payments  with  respect  to any  Losses  except  if and to the  extent  that the
aggregate  amount of Losses incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates to which it
or they would otherwise be entitled to

                                       35
<PAGE>

indemnification under Section 10.1 hereof,  exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000.00)  (the "Basket Amount"),  in which case Purchaser shall be entitled
full indemnification for such Losses in the amount of all such claims, including
the Basket Amount.

                  (c)  In  determining  the  amount  of  any  Losses  for  which
indemnification  is provided under this Agreement,  such Losses shall be (i) net
of any insurance  recovery made by the indemnified  party,  (ii) reduced to take
into account any net Tax benefit realized by the indemnified  party arising from
the deductibility of such Losses, and (iii) increased to take account of any net
Tax  cost  incurred  by the  indemnified  party  arising  from  the  receipt  of
indemnification  payments hereunder. Any indemnification payment hereunder shall
initially  be made  without  regard to this  paragraph  and shall be  reduced to
reflect any net Tax benefit or  increased to reflect any net Tax cost only after
the indemnified  party has actually  realized such benefit or cost. For purposes
of this  Agreement,  an  indemnified  party  shall be deemed  to have  "actually
realized" a net Tax benefit or net Tax cost to the extent that, and at such time
as, the amount of Taxes payable by such  indemnified  party is (x) reduced below
the amount of Taxes that such indemnified  party would have been required to pay
but for the  deductibility  of such Tax or Loss,  and (y)  increased  above  the
amount of Taxes that such indemnified  party would have been required to pay but
for the receipt of such  indemnification  payments.  The amount of any reduction
hereunder  shall be  adjusted to reflect any final  determination  (which  shall
include the  execution  of Form 870-AD or  successor  form) with  respect to the
indemnified  party's  liability  for Taxes.  Any indemnity  payments  under this
Agreement  shall be  treated  as an  adjustment  to the  Purchase  Price for Tax
purposes,  unless a final determination with respect to the indemnified party or
any of its affiliates causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment
to the Purchase Price.

                  (d) No claim  for  indemnification  for  Losses  shall be made
after expiration of the applicable time period set forth in Section 7.1 hereof.

                  (e)  Indemnification  pursuant to this Section 10 shall be the
sole and  exclusive  remedy of each party  hereto  after the  Closing  Date with
respect  to any  Losses  relating  to or  arising  out of  any  breaches  of any
representations  and warranties,  or any covenant or agreement set forth in this
Agreement or any  certificate  delivered  pursuant to or in connection with this
Agreement,  notwithstanding  that indemnification may not be available and shall
be in lieu of any and all other  rights and  remedies  after the  Closing  Date,
whether  asserted  as claims for breach of  contract,  tort  claims,  actions in
equity or otherwise.

                  (f) The terms and conditions of Sections  10.3(a)  through (e)
shall not be deemed to limit any rights or remedies of Purchaser  under the Time
Brokerage  Agreement  or the Grant II APA;  provided  that no claims may be made
under this Agreement relating to the Grant II APA.

         10.4.    NOTICE OF CLAIM /DEFENSE OF ACTION.

                  (a) An indemnified  party shall promptly give the indemnifying
part(ies)  notice of any matter which an  indemnified  party has  determined has
given or could give rise to a right of  indemnification  under  this  Agreement,
stating  the  nature  and,  if known,  the amount of the  Losses,  and method of
computation  thereof,  all  with  reasonable   particularity  and  containing  a
reference to the  provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right to
indemnification is claimed or arises;  provided that the failure of any party to
give notice  promptly as  required  in this  Section  10.4 shall not relieve any
indemnifying party of its indemnification  obligations except to the extent that
such failure  materially  prejudices the rights of such indemnifying  party. The
indemnified  party  shall give  continuing  notice  promptly  thereafter  of all
developments  coming to the indemnified party's attention  materially  affecting
any matter relating to any indemnification claims.

                  (b)  Except  as  otherwise   provided  in  Section  10.5,  the
obligations and liabilities of an indemnifying  party under this Section 10 with
respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party that are subject to the
indemnification  provided  for in this  Section  10,  shall be  governed  by and
contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions:

                           (i) With  respect  to third  party  claims,  promptly
after  receipt  by an  indemnified  party of notice of the  commencement  of any
action or the presentation or other assertion of any claim which could result in
any  indemnification  claim  pursuant  to  Section  10.1  or 10.2  hereof,  such
indemnified   party  shall  give  prompt  notice  thereof  to  the  indemnifying
party(ies)  and the  indemnifying  party(ies)  shall be entitled to  participate
therein or, to the extent that it shall wish,  assume the defense  thereof  with
its own counsel.

                           (ii) If the indemnifying  party(ies) elects to assume
the defense of any such action or claim, the  indemnifying  party(ies) shall not
be liable to the  indemnified  party for any fees of other  counsel or any other
expenses, in each case incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof.

                           (iii)   The   indemnifying    party(ies)   shall   be
authorized,  without consent of the indemnified party being required,  to settle
or compromise any such action or claim,

                                       37
<PAGE>

provided that such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of
the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim.

                           (iv) Whether or not an indemnifying party(ies) elects
to assume the defense of any action or claim, the indemnifying  party(ies) shall
not be liable  for any  compromise  or  settlement  of any such  action or claim
effected without its consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

                           (v) The  parties  agree to  cooperate  to the fullest
extent possible in connection with any claim for which indemnification is or may
be sought under this Agreement,  including, without limitation, making available
all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in its possession or
under its  control  relating  thereto as is  reasonably  requested  by the other
party.

Purchaser gives Seller notice of such  termination by Purchaser  within ten (10)
days after public notice of such determination.

         14.2     PROCEDURE AND EFFECT OF TERMINATION.

                  (a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either or
both  Purchaser  and/or Seller  pursuant to Sections 9.9 or 14.1 hereof,  prompt
written  notice  thereof shall  forthwith be given to the other party,  and this
Agreement  shall  terminate and the  transactions  contemplated  hereby shall be
abandoned  without further action by any of the parties  hereto,  but subject to
and without  limiting  any other rights of the parties  specified  herein in the
event a party is in default or breach in any material respect of its obligations
under this Agreement.  If this Agreement is terminated as provided  herein,  all
filings,  applications  and  other  submissions  relating  to  the  transactions
contemplated  hereby as to which  termination  has occurred shall, to the extent
practicable,  be withdrawn  from the agency or other Person to which such filing

<PAGE>

                  (b) If this  Agreement  is  terminated  pursuant  to  Sections
14.1(b),  14.1(d),  14.1(e), or 14(f), the payment made by Purchaser pursuant to
Section  3.1(1) shall be returned to Purchaser.  If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant  to  Section  14.1(d)  and  Seller  shall be in breach in any  material
respect  of  its  representations,   warranties,   covenants,   agreements,   or
obligations  set forth in this  Agreement,  which  breach  has not been cured by
Seller within thirty (30) days after notice to Seller by Purchaser,  then and in
that event,  in recognition  of the unique  character of the property to be sold
hereunder,  and the  damages  which  Purchaser  will  suffer  in the  event of a
termination of this Agreement caused by a breach by Seller, Purchaser shall have
the  right to pursue  all  remedies  available  hereunder  at law or in  equity,
including,  without  limitation,  the right to seek specific  performance and/or
monetary  damages.  Seller  hereby  waives any  defense  that  Purchaser  has an
adequate remedy at law for such breach of this Agreement by Seller.

                  (c) If  this  Agreement  is  terminated  pursuant  to  Section
14.1(c)  and  Purchaser  shall  be in  breach  in any  material  respect  of its
representations,  warranties, covenants, agreements, or obligations set forth in
this  Agreement,  which breach has not been cured by Purchaser  thirty (30) days
after notice to  Purchaser  by Seller then and in that event,  Seller shall have
the right to retain  the  amount  delivered  by  Purchaser  pursuant  to Section
3.1(1), plus interest earned thereon, as liquidated damages, and as the sole and
exclusive  remedy of Seller  as a  consequence  of  Purchaser's  default  (which
aggregate amount the parties agree is a reasonable  estimate of the damages that
will be suffered by Seller as a result of the default by Purchaser  and does not
constitute a penalty),  the parties hereby  acknowledging  the inconvenience and
nonfeasability of otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy.

                  (d) If  this  Agreement  is  terminated  pursuant  to  Section
14.1(a),  the payment  made by  Purchaser  pursuant to Section  3.1(1)  shall be
returned to Purchaser.

                  (e) In the event of a default by either  party that results in
a lawsuit or other proceeding for any remedy available under this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement  from the other party of its
reasonable legal fees and expenses,  whether incurred in arbitration,  at trial,
or on appeal.

but not limited to, the titles of the Schedules  and Exhibits  hereto) have been
inserted for the  convenience  of reference  only, and neither such headings nor
the placement of any term hereof under any  particular  heading shall in any way

attached to this  Agreement  constitute an integral part of this Agreement as if
fully  rewritten  herein.  The  inclusion  of any  fact or  item  on a  Schedule

from examination of such Schedules.

         16.4.  ENTIRE  AGREEMENT.  This  Agreement,  the  Annexes,   Schedules,
Exhibits,   and  other  documents  to  be  delivered  hereunder  and  thereunder
constitute  the entire  understanding  and agreement  between the parties hereto
concerning the subject matter hereof.  All negotiations and writings between the
parties hereto are merged into this Agreement, and there are no representations,
warranties,  covenants,  understandings,  or agreements,  oral or otherwise,  in
relation thereto between the parties other than those incorporated  herein or to
be delivered hereunder.

         16.5.  GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement is to be delivered in and shall be
construed in  accordance  with and governed by the laws of the State of New York

otherwise,  without  the prior  written  consent  of each of the  other  parties
hereto; provided,  however, that Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations
hereunder  to one or more  subsidiaries  so long as Purchaser is not relieved of

writing  executed in the name of the party sought to be charged.  The failure of
any party to insist, in any one or more instances,  on performance of any of the
terms or  conditions  of this  Agreement  shall not be  construed as a waiver or
relinquishment of any rights granted  hereunder or of the future  performance of
any such term, covenant,  or condition,  but the obligations of the parties with
respect hereto shall continue in full force and effect.

announcements relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
