             (b) To the extent not inconsistent with the express provisions of

Section, Buyer shall prepare and deliver the Adjustment List to Seller within
thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, or such earlier or later date as
shall be mutually agreed to by Seller and Buyer. The Adjustment List shall set
forth the Adjustment Amount. If the Adjustment Amount is a credit to the account
of Buyer, unless disputed, Seller shall pay such amount to Buyer, and if the
Adjustment Amount is a charge to the account of Buyer, Buyer shall pay such
amount to Seller. In the event Seller disagrees with the Adjustment Amount
determined by Buyer or with any other matter arising out of this subsection, and
Buyer

                                       8

<PAGE>   9

and Seller cannot within sixty (60) days resolve the disagreement themselves,
the parties will refer the disagreement to a firm of independent certified
public accountants, mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer, whose decision
shall be final and whose fees and expenses shall be allocated between and paid
by Seller and Buyer, respectively, to the extent that such party does not
prevail on the disputed matters decided by the accountants.

         2.8 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE For a period of time (the "Collection Period")
from the Closing Date to a date being ninety (90) days from the Closing Date,
Buyer shall collect all of the accounts receivable of Seller ("Accounts
Receivable") relating to the Stations and existing as of the Closing Date.
During such period neither Seller nor its agents shall make any solicitation for
collection purposes nor institute litigation for the collection of any amounts
due thereunder, except for such Accounts Receivable which Buyer has consented to
Seller's collection thereof prior to the expiration of the Collection Period.
Any payment received by Buyer during the Collection Period from an account
debtor shall be applied to such specific outstanding invoices or in such other
manner as may be designated by such account debtor. In the absence of any such
designation, all payments received by Buyer shall be applied to the outstanding
amounts due from any such account debtor (including amounts arising from
Seller's operation of the Business prior to the Closing) in chronological order,
beginning with the oldest outstanding amounts based on the dates of the original
underlying invoices. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect
the Accounts Receivable during the Collection Period. After the expiration of
the Collection Period, Buyer shall have no right or obligation with respect to
such Accounts Receivable. Buyer agrees to remit to Seller any payment on any
Account Receivable which Buyer has received; provided, however, that nothing
contained in this Section 2.8 shall be construed to grant Seller any right with
respect to any accounts receivable accrued in connection with Buyer's operation
of the Stations on or after the Closing Date. Following the Collection Period,
Buyer shall make available to Seller, upon the reasonable request of Seller,
copies of all of its records relating to any uncollected Accounts Receivable.

         2.9 EMPLOYEES. Buyer shall be free to hire such persons, whether or not
employees of Seller or the Stations, on such terms and conditions of employment
as Buyer shall determine in the exercise of its sole discretion, and nothing in
this Agreement shall establish any obligation or commitment on the part of Buyer
for any right or claim (legal or equitable) of any person other than the parties
hereto, including, without limitation, any employee of Seller or Buyer or any
beneficiary of such employee. Any claim, including any claim for benefits,
asserted by or on behalf of any person with respect to such person's employment
by Buyer shall be governed solely by applicable employment policies and employee
benefit plans. Seller has delivered to Buyer a true and complete list (including
names, titles, job descriptions, compensation, date of hire, and full vs.
part-time status) of all employees of the Stations as of the date such list is
delivered. In addition, Seller shall be liable for, and shall pay, all wages,
salaries, payroll taxes and employee benefits, including without limitation,
vacation pay or benefits, due, owing or accrued for all employees of the
Stations through the Closing. All claims

                                       9

<PAGE>   10

incurred or liabilities asserted under Seller's employee benefit plans
(including any such claims resulting from Seller's termination of any employee
benefit plan) shall be the responsibility of Seller, and Buyer shall not have
any liability with respect to such claims or liabilities.

under Environmental Laws (other than normal office, cleaning and maintenance
supplies in reasonable quantities used and /or stored appropriately in buildings

Assets owned by third parties, which may form the basis for any present or
future claim based upon the Environmental Laws or any demand or action seeking
clean-up of any site, location, body of water, surface or subsurface, under any

liable or responsible solely as a result of the disposal of waste at such site
by a prior owner of the Sale Assets.

composition or arrangement with creditors, voluntary or involuntary, affecting
the Seller or any of the Sale Assets, are pending or, to the best Knowledge of

business, operation or financial condition or results of operations of Buyer;

             (b) Do not (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of
time or both) conflict with or result in a breach or termination of, or
constitute a default or give rise to a right of termination or acceleration
under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Buyer or any lease, agreement,
commitment, or other instrument which Buyer is a party to, bound by, or by which
any of its assets or properties may be bound.

         4.4 GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS AND CONSENTS OF THIRD PARTIES. Except for the
required consent of the FCC, Buyer's execution and delivery of, and the
performance of its obligations under, this Agreement and each of the other
Documents and the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby

clearance or authorization of, or any declaration or filing with, any court or
public agency or other authority, or the consent of any person under any
agreement, arrangement or commitment of any nature which Buyer is a party to or

concerning Buyer or any other person with an attributable interest in Buyer (as

(within the meaning of Section 309(e) of the Act) respecting Buyer's

             (c) Buyer will have available on the Closing Date sufficient funds
to enable it to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and

condition precedent to performance by Buyer of its obligations under this

agent, broker, investment banker, or other person or firm acting on behalf of or

broadcast hours of the Stations or any other material change in the Stations'
programming policies, except such changes as in the sole discretion of Seller,
exercised in good faith after consultation with Buyer, are required by the
public interest;

             (k) Notify Buyer of any material litigation pending or threatened
against the Stations or Seller or any material damage to or destruction of any
assets included or to be included in the Sale Assets;

         5.2 GOVERNMENTAL CONSENTS. Seller and Buyer shall file with the FCC,
within ten (10) business days after the execution of this Agreement, such
applications and other documents in the name of Seller or Buyer, as appropriate,
as may be necessary or advisable to obtain the FCC Order. Seller and Buyer shall
take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to prosecute such filings with
diligence and shall diligently oppose any objections to, appeals from or
petitions to reconsider such approval of the FCC, to the end that the FCC Order
and a Final Action with respect thereto may be obtained as soon as practicable.
Buyer shall not knowingly take, and Seller covenants that Seller shall not
knowingly take, any action that party knows or has reason to know would
materially and adversely affect or materially delay issuance of the FCC Order or
materially and adversely affect or materially delay its becoming a Final Action
without a Material Adverse Condition, unless such action is requested or
required by the FCC, its staff or the Rules and Regulations. Should Buyer or
Seller become aware of any facts which could reasonably be expected to
materially and adversely affect or materially delay issuance of the FCC Order
without a Material Adverse Condition (including but not limited to, in the case
of Buyer, any facts which would reasonably be expected to disqualify Buyer from
controlling the Stations), such party shall promptly notify the other party
thereof in writing and both parties shall cooperate to take all steps necessary
or desirable to resolve the matter expeditiously and to obtain the FCC's
approval of matters pending before it.

         5.3 OTHER CONSENTS. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain the consent or waivers to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
required under any assumed Station Agreements; provided that Seller shall not be
required to pay or grant any material consideration in order to obtain any such

         5.4 TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. To the extent the failure to file any
return, estimate, or report or pay any taxes would result in a Lien on the Sale
Assets or have a material adverse effect on Buyer or the Sale Assets:

             (a) All tax returns, estimates, and reports required to be filed by
Seller prior to the Closing Date or relating to periods prior to the Closing
Date will be timely filed with the appropriate governmental agencies unless
valid extensions therefor shall have been obtained.

             (b) All taxes pertaining to ownership of the Sale Assets or
operation of the Stations prior to the Closing Date will be timely paid;
provided that Seller shall not be required to pay any such tax so long as the
validity thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and

         5.5 ACCESS PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE. Prior to the Closing, Buyer and
its representatives may make such reasonable investigation of the assets and
business of the Stations as it may desire; and Seller shall give to Buyer, its
engineers, counsel, accountants and other representatives reasonable access
during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Closing to
personnel and all of the assets, books, records and files of or pertaining to
the Stations, provided that (i) Buyer shall give Seller reasonable advance
notice of each date on which Buyer or any such other person or entity desires
such access, (ii) each person (other than an officer of Buyer) shall, if
requested by Seller, be accompanied by an officer or their representative of
Buyer approved by Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
(iii) the investigations at the offices of Seller shall be reasonable in number
and frequency, and (iv) all investigations shall be conducted in such a manner
as not to physically damage any property or constitute a disruption of the
operation of the Stations or Seller. Seller shall furnish to Buyer during such
period all documents and copies of documents and information concerning the
business and affairs of the Stations as Buyer may reasonably request.

         5.6 CONFIDENTIALITY; PRESS RELEASE. All information, data and materials
furnished or to be furnished to either party with respect to the other party in
connection with this transaction or pursuant to this Agreement are confidential.
Each party agrees that prior to Closing (a) it shall not disclose or otherwise
make available, at any time, any such information, data or material to any
person who does not have a confidential relationship with such party; (b) it
shall protect such information, data and material with a high degree of care to
prevent the disclosure thereof; and (c) if, for any reason, this transaction is
not consummated, all information, data or material concerning the other party
obtained by such party, and all copies thereof, will be returned to the other
party. After Closing, neither party will disclose or otherwise make available to
any person any of such information, data or material concerning the other party,
except as may be

                                       23

<PAGE>   24

necessary or appropriate in connection with the operation of the Stations by
Buyer. Each party shall use its reasonable efforts to prevent the violation of
any of the foregoing confidentiality provisions by its respective
representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall
prohibit Buyer or Seller from:

             (i) using such information, data and materials in connection with
any action or proceeding brought or any claim asserted by Buyer or Seller in
respect of any breach by the other of any representation, warranty or covenant
made in or pursuant to this Agreement;

             (ii) supplying or filing such information, data or materials to or
with the FCC or any other valid governmental or court authority to the extent
reasonably necessary to obtain any consent, waiver, amendment, modification,
approval, authorization, permit or license which may be necessary to effectuate
this Agreement, and to consummate the transaction contemplated herein; or

             (iii) disclosing any information to the SEC, FCC, FAA or any other
governmental authority provided that the disclosing party reasonably believes
such disclosure to be required.

In the event that either party determines in good faith that a press release or
other public announcement is desirable under any circumstances or required by
law, the parties shall consult with each other to determine the appropriate
timing, form and content of such release or announcement and thereafter may make
such release or announcement.

         5.7 REASONABLE BEST EFFORTS. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, each of the parties hereto will use its reasonable best efforts
to take all action and to do all things necessary, proper or advisable to
satisfy any condition to the parties' obligations hereunder in its power to
satisfy and to consummate and make effective as soon as practicable the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         5.8 FCC REPORTS. Seller shall continue to file, on a current basis
until the Closing Date, all reports and documents required to be filed with the
FCC with respect to the Stations. Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of all
such filings within five business days of the filing with the FCC.

         5.9 CONVEYANCE FREE AND CLEAR OF LIENS. At or prior to the Closing,
Seller shall obtain executed releases or payoff letters, in suitable form for
filing and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, of
any security interests granted in the Sale Assets and properties as security for
payment of loans and other obligations or judgments and of any other Liens on
the Sale Assets. At the closing, Seller shall transfer and convey to Buyer all

         5.10 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT. Within ten (10) business days after the
execution of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with the originals or
readable copies of any environmental assessments in Seller's possession or
control. Prior to Closing, Buyer shall obtain an assessment of the Real Property
by an environmental engineer selected by Buyer (the "Environmental Assessment").
Buyer shall commission and pay the cost of such Environmental Assessment and
shall provide a copy to Seller within ten (10) days of its receipt by Buyer. The
Environmental Assessment shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of
Section 5.6. If, after appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership of and
uses of the Real Property consistent with good commercial or customary practice,
the engineer concludes, as set forth in the Environmental Assessment, that
environmental conditions exist on, under or affecting such properties that would
constitute a material violation or breach of Seller's representations and
warranties contained in Section 3.14 of this Agreement or cause the condition
contained in Section 6.9 to not be satisfied, then notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the following
sentence, Seller shall at its sole cost and expense (up to a maximum amount of
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000)) remove, correct or remedy any condition or
conditions which constitute a violation or breach of Seller's representations
and warranties contained in Section 3.14 prior to the Closing Date and provide
to Buyer at Closing a certificate from an environmental abatement firm
reasonably acceptable to Buyer that such removal, correction or remedy has been
completed so that Seller's representations and warranties contained in Section
3.14 will be true as of the Closing Date and the condition contained in Section
6.9 will be satisfied as of the Closing Date. In the event the cost of removal,
correction or remedy of the environmental conditions exceeds Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000), Buyer may elect to proceed with the Closing but shall not be
obligated to close under any circumstances which would require Buyer to assume
ownership of the Stations under conditions where there exist any uncured
violations of warranties, representations or covenants with respect to
environmental matters.

         5.11 SURVEY. Within ten (10) business days after execution of this
Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with the originals or readable copies of
any surveys of the Real Property in Seller's possession or control. All costs
associated with updating such survey or preparing new surveys shall be paid by
Buyer.

consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby would constitute a violation
of the laws of the United States or of any state or political subdivision or
that it intends to commence proceedings to restrain such consummation or to
force divestiture, unless such governmental authority shall have withdrawn such
notice. No governmental authority having jurisdiction shall have commenced any
such proceeding.

         6.5 OPINION OF SELLER'S FCC COUNSEL. Buyer shall have received from

the FCC Licenses, the denial of any pending applications, the issuance of any
cease and desist order or the imposition of any fines, forfeitures or other
administrative actions by the FCC with respect to the Stations or their

         In rendering such opinion, counsel shall be entitled to rely upon
Seller's representations and warranties in this Agreement and to limit its
inquiry to its files and such FCC files and records as are available to it as of
10:00 o'clock A.M. Eastern time the business day immediately preceding the

Knowledge is based solely on such inquiry.

         6.6 OTHER CONSENTS. Seller shall have obtained in writing and provided

         6.8 NO CESSATION OF BROADCASTING; CASUALTY.

             (a) Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, neither Station
shall have for a period of more than ten (10) days in the aggregate (i) ceased
broadcasting on its authorized frequencies, (ii) lost substantially all of its
normal broadcasting capability or (iii) have broadcast at a power level of 50%
or less of its FCC authorized level. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of the
occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing events or conditions, and the
non-fulfillment of the condition precedent set forth in this Subsection caused
by the occurrence of the events specified in Seller's notice shall be deemed
waived by Buyer unless, within fifteen (15) days after Buyer's receipt of
Seller's written notice, Buyer notifies Seller in writing to the contrary.

             (b) In addition, during the five (5) days immediately preceding the
Closing Date, the Stations shall have been operating continuously with
substantially all of their normal broadcasting capability except for cessation
or reductions for insignificant periods of time resulting from occurrences (such
as lightning strikes) over which Seller has no control. Seller or Buyer shall
have the right to delay Closing for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days if
Seller or Buyer reasonably determines that any action to restore the Stations
substantially all of their normal broadcasting capability can be completed
during such delay period.

             (c) If a Substantial Casualty shall have occurred, the Casualty
Termination Period shall have expired.

         6.9 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. The Environmental Assessment obtained by
Buyer pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof shall not have disclosed any material

which will not adversely affect the use of the Real Property in the ordinary
course of business, including the business of operating the Stations; (ii) liens
for taxes not due and payable; (iii) mechanics, materialmen's, carriers',
warehousemen's, landlords' or other similar liens in the ordinary course of
business for sums not yet due; (iv) deposits or pledges to secure the

                 (i) Any breach or non-performance by Seller of any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement
or any other Documents; or

hereby.

             (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if

Losses exceeds Buyer's Threshold Limitation, in which case Buyer shall then be
entitled to indemnification of the entire amount in excess of Buyer's Threshold
Limitation, provided that any amounts owed by Seller to Buyer under Subsection
(a) (iv) above and Section 2.7 shall not be counted in determining whether
Buyer's Threshold Limitation is satisfied, and Buyer shall have the right to
recover any such payment without regard to such limitation.

         9.4 INDEMNIFICATION BY BUYER.

             (a) Subject to the provisions of Subsection (b) below and Section

<PAGE>   34

exceeds Seller's Threshold Limitation, in which case Seller shall then be
entitled to indemnification of the entire amount in excess of Seller's Threshold
Limitation, provided that any payment owed by Buyer to Seller under Section 2.7
shall not be counted in determining whether Seller's Threshold Limitation is
satisfied, and Seller shall have the right to recover any such payment without
regard to any such limitation.

         9.5 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. In the event that an Indemnified Party
may be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any asserted claim
of, or obligation or liability to, any third party, such party shall notify the
Indemnifying Party thereof, describing the matters involved in reasonable
detail, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense
thereof upon written notice to the Indemnified Party with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that once the defense thereof
is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall keep the
Indemnified Party advised of all developments in the defense thereof and any
related litigation, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled at all times to
participate in the defense thereof at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party
fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to defend or contest its
obligation to indemnify under this Article IX, the Indemnified Party may pay,
compromise, or defend such a claim without prejudice to any right it may have
hereunder.

                         TERMINATION; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

         10.1 TERMINATION. If Closing shall not have previously occurred, this
Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of:

             (a) the giving of written notice from Seller to Buyer, or from
Buyer to Seller, if:

                 (i) Seller gives such termination notice and is not at such
time in material default hereunder, or Buyer gives such termination notice and
Buyer is not at such time in material default hereunder; and

                                       34

<PAGE>   35

                 (ii) Either:

                      (A) any of the representations or warranties contained
herein of Buyer (if such termination notice is given by Seller), or of Seller
(if such termination notice is given by Buyer), are inaccurate in any respect
and, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to the party giving
such termination notice unless the inaccuracy has been induced by or is the
result of actions or omissions of the party giving such termination notice or
unless the accuracy of such representation or warranty is not a condition to
closing; or

                      (B) Any material obligation to be performed by Buyer (if
such termination notice is given by Seller) or by Seller (if such termination
notice is given by Buyer) is not timely performed unless the lack of timely
performance has been induced by or is the result of actions or omissions of the
party giving such termination notice; or

                      (C) Any material condition (other than those referred to
in foregoing Clauses (A) and (B)) to the obligation to close the transaction
contemplated herein of the party giving such termination notice has not been
timely satisfied, unless the failure of said condition to be satisfied was
induced by the party giving such termination notice with the intended result of
terminating the Agreement pursuant to this Clause (C); and

                 (iii) any such inaccuracy, failure to perform or
non-satisfaction of a condition neither has been cured nor satisfied within
twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from the party giving such
termination notice nor waived in writing by the party giving such termination
notice.

             (b) Written notice from Seller to Buyer, or from Buyer to Seller,
at any time after twelve (12) months following the date first written above,
provided that termination shall not occur (i) upon the giving of such
termination notice by Seller if Seller is at such time in material default
hereunder or (ii) upon the giving of such termination notice by Buyer if Buyer
is at such time in material default hereunder.

             (c) Written notice from Seller to Buyer, or from Buyer to Seller,
at any time following a determination by the FCC that the application for
consent to assignment of the FCC Licenses has been designated for hearing even
with diligent efforts; provided, however, only the party whose qualifications
are not in issue may terminate this Agreement under this provision and only if
such party has given the other sixty (60) days' prior written notice and the
requirement for such hearing has not been set aside within that period.

             (d) The written election by Buyer under Article XI.

                                       35

         10.2 OBLIGATIONS UPON TERMINATION.

              (a) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
10.1(a)(ii)(A), or Section 10.1(a)(ii)(B) the aggregate liability of Buyer for
breach hereunder shall be limited as provided in Subsections (c) and (e), below
and the aggregate liability for Seller for breach hereunder shall be limited as
provided in Subsections (d) and (e), below. In the event this Agreement is
terminated for any other reason, neither party shall have any liability
hereunder.

              (b) Upon termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to
the return of the Earnest Money from the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement
(i) if such termination is effected by Buyer's giving of valid written notice to
Seller pursuant to Subsections 10.1(a), (b), (c) or (d) , or (ii) if such
termination is effected by Seller's giving of valid written notice to Buyer
pursuant to Subsections 10.1(a)(ii)(C), 10.1(b) or 10.1(c). If Buyer is entitled
to the return of the Earnest Money, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in taking
such action as is required under the Escrow Agreement in order to effect such
return from the Escrow Agent.

              (c) If this Agreement is terminated by Seller's giving of valid
written notice to Buyer pursuant to Section 10.1(a)(ii)(A), or Section
10.1(a)(ii)(B), Buyer agrees that Buyer shall release to Seller upon such
termination, as liquidated damages and not as penalty, the Earnest Money
("Liquidated Damage Amount"). SELLER'S RECEIPT OF THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGE AMOUNT
SHALL CONSTITUTE PAYMENT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES HEREUNDER AND NOT A PENALTY, AND
SHALL BE SELLER'S SOLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY FOR BUYER'S BREACH HEREUNDER
IF CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR. BUYER AND SELLER EACH ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE
LIQUIDATED DAMAGE AMOUNT IS REASONABLE IN LIGHT OF THE ANTICIPATED HARM WHICH
WILL BE CAUSED BY BUYER'S BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE DIFFICULTY OF PROOF OF
LOSS, THE INCONVENIENCE AND NON-FEASIBILITY OF OTHERWISE OBTAINING AN ADEQUATE
REMEDY, AND THE VALUE OF THE TRANSACTION TO BE CONSUMMATED HEREUNDER.

              (d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, but subject to the provisions of the following sentence, if Seller
attempts to terminate this Agreement under circumstances where it is not
entitled to do so, or if Seller, by its own action, causes a material breach of
warranty or fails to satisfy a material condition (including without limitation
a refusal to consummate the transaction after Buyer has satisfied all conditions
to Seller's obligation to close and Buyer has demonstrated its willingness and
ability to close on the terms set forth in this Agreement and Buyer is not in
default hereunder) with the intent of creating a situation whereby Buyer elects
to terminate under Section 10.1(a) and Buyer does so elect to terminate, the
monetary damages, if any, to which Buyer shall be entitled shall be limited to
direct and actual damages (but in no event shall Seller be responsible for such
direct and actual damages in an amount over $250,000). If a circumstance
described in the preceding sentence should

                                       36

<PAGE>   37

arise and if Buyer establishes that the action of Seller described therein was
taken intentionally in order to allow Seller to sell or enter into negotiations
to sell the Stations, or any of them, to another party, the damages to which
Buyer shall be entitled shall not be limited to direct and actual damages (but
in no event shall Seller be responsible for any damages greater than
$1,000,000).

              (e) In any dispute between Buyer and Seller as to which party is
entitled to all or a portion of the Earnest Money, the prevailing party shall
receive, in addition to that portion of the Earnest Money to which it is
entitled, an amount equal to interest on that portion at the rate of 10% per
annum, calculated from the date the prevailing party's demand for all or a
portion of the Earnest Money is received by the Escrow Agent, and its reasonable
attorney fees expended to recover said amounts.

         10.3 TERMINATION NOTICE. Each notice given by a party pursuant to
Section 10.1 to terminate this Agreement shall specify the Subsection (and
clause or clauses thereof) of Section 10.1 pursuant to which such notice is
given.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                    CASUALTY

         Seller will bear the risk of any loss or damage to the Sale Assets
resulting from fire, theft or other casualty (except reasonable wear and tear)
at all times prior to the Closing. If any such loss or damage is sufficiently
substantial so as to cause the Stations, or either of them, to be off the air
for more than seven (7) consecutive days or fifteen (15) total days, whether or
not consecutive ("Substantial Casualty"), then Seller will immediately notify
Buyer in writing of that fact and Buyer, at any time within 15 business days
after receipt of such notice ("Casualty Termination Period"), may elect by
written notice to Seller to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer elects to so
terminate this Agreement, Buyer and Seller will stand fully released and
discharged of any and all obligations under this Agreement (provided Seller
shall remain liable for its obligations pursuant to Section 10.2(b)). If Buyer
does not elect to so terminate this Agreement within the Casualty Termination
Period, then, without waiving any of its rights hereunder, the Substantial
Casualty shall not serve as a basis to terminate this Agreement and there will
be no adjustment in the consideration payable to Seller on account of such loss
or damage. All insurance proceeds payable as a result of the occurrence of the
Substantial Casualty (to the extent not used to replace or restore such lost or
damaged property) will be delivered by Seller to Buyer, or the rights to such
proceeds will be assigned by Seller to Buyer if not yet paid over to Seller, and
Seller will pay to Buyer an amount equal to the difference between the amount of
such insurance proceeds and the full replacement cost of the damaged or lost
Sale Assets.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                               CONTROL OF STATIONS

         Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Buyer shall
not control, manage or supervise the operation of the Stations or conduct of
their business, all of which shall remain the sole responsibility and under the
control of Seller, subject to Seller's compliance with this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         13.1 FURTHER ACTIONS. From time to time before, at and after the
Closing, each party, at its expense and without further consideration, will
execute and deliver such documents to the other party as the other party may
reasonably request in order more effectively to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.

         13.2 ACCESS AFTER THE CLOSING DATE. After the Closing and for a period
of twelve (12) months, Buyer shall provide Seller, Seller's counsel, accountants
and other representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to
the books, records, property, personnel, contracts, commitments and documents of
the Stations pertaining to transactions occurring prior to the Closing Date when
requested by Seller, and Buyer shall retain such books and records for the
normal document retention period of Buyer. At the request and expense of Seller,
Buyer shall deliver copies of any such books and records to Seller.

         13.3 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.

              (a) Any fees assessed by the FCC in connection with the filings
contemplated by Section 5.2(a) or consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be shared equally between Seller and Buyer.

              (b) All transfer taxes and document stamps payable in connection
with consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by
Seller; all state or local sales or use taxes payable in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by Buyer.

              (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each
of the parties shall bear its own expenses, including the fees of any attorneys
and accountants engaged by such party, in connection with this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.

         13.4 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Seller acknowledges that the Stations are of
a special, unique, and extraordinary character, and that any breach of this
Agreement by

                                       38

<PAGE>   39

Seller could not be compensated for by damages. Accordingly, if Seller shall
breach its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled, in
addition to any of the remedies that it may have, to enforcement of this
Agreement (subject to obtaining any required approval of the FCC) by decree of
specific performance or injunctive relief requiring Seller to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement. In any action to equitably enforce the
provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall waive the defense that there is an
adequate remedy at law or equity and agrees that Buyer shall have the right to
obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement without being
required to prove actual damages, post bond or furnish other security.

         13.5 NOTICES. All notices, demands or other communications given
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if delivered by
courier or sent by registered or certified mail, first class, postage prepaid,

public agency or other authority, or the consent of any person under any
agreement, arrangement or commitment of a nature to which Seller is a party or

Condition.

incidental items which in the aggregate are not of material value and studio
equipment, to Seller's actual knowledge, the list of Tangible Personal Property

to the knowledge of the Seller, are threatened which may result in the
revocation, modification, non-renewal or suspension of any of the FCC Licenses,
the denial of any pending applications, the issuance of any cease and desist
order or the imposition of any fines, forfeitures or other administrative
actions by the FCC with respect to the Station or its operation, other than

actual knowledge of any matters (i) which could reasonably be expected to result
in the suspension or revocation of or the refusal to renew any of the FCC

against Seller which could reasonably be expected to result in the FCC's refusal

Agreement and Seller has no actual knowledge of any bases for any such claim or
action. There are no existing or pending orders, judgments or decrees of any

<PAGE>   18

confidentiality provisions by its respective representatives. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prohibit Buyer or Seller from:

                 (i) using such information, data and materials in connection
with any action or proceeding brought or any claim asserted by Buyer or Seller
in respect of any breach by the other of any representation, warranty or
covenant made in or pursuant to this Agreement; or

                 (ii) supplying or filing such information, data or materials to
or with the FCC or SEC or any other valid governmental or court authority to the

content of such release or announcement and thereafter may make such release or
announcement.

         5.7 REASONABLE BEST EFFORTS. Subject to the terms and conditions of

transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         5.8 FCC REPORTS. Seller shall continue to file, on a current basis
until the Closing Date, all reports and documents required to be filed with the
FCC with respect to the Station. Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of all
such filings within five business days of the filing with the FCC.

Assets. At the Closing, Seller shall transfer and convey to Buyer all of the

         5.10 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT. Not later than forty-five (45) days
after execution of this Agreement, Buyer may obtain a Phase I ("the Phase I")
environmental assessment of the Sale Assets by an environmental engineer
selected by Buyer. Within fourteen (14) days after Buyer's receipt of the Phase
I, if the Phase I indicates environmental conditions may exist on, under or
affect such properties that may constitute a violation or breach of Seller's
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.12 of this Agreement (an
"Environmental Defect"), then Buyer shall be entitled to obtain a Phase II ("the
Phase II") environmental assessment of the Real Property, or any portion
thereof. (The Phase I and the Phase II, if obtained, shall be referred to herein

                                       18

<PAGE>   19

as the "Environmental Assessment"). Buyer shall commission and pay the cost of
such Environmental Assessment and shall provide a copy to Seller. The
Environmental Assessment shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions of
Section 5.6. If after appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership of and
uses of the Real Property consistent with good commercial or customary practice,
the engineer concludes that environmental conditions exist on, under or
affecting such properties that would constitute an Environmental Defect, then
Buyer may elect to proceed with the Closing but shall not be obligated to close
under any circumstances which would require Buyer to assume ownership of the
Station under conditions where there exist any uncured violations of warranties,
representations or covenants with respect to environmental matters. If Buyer
elects to close with knowledge of an Environmental Defect, then Seller shall
have no obligation to indemnify Buyer with respect thereto or pursuant to
Article IX hereof following the Closing.

         5.11 APPLICATIONS. Seller recognizes that Buyer's intended use of the
Station is subject to prior approval by federal, state and local authorities to
improve the current facilities of the Station and hereby permits Buyer to file
any application(s) in the name of Buyer to make changes in the Station's
facilities; provided that such application(s) shall be contingent on Closing
occurring. Seller will provide Buyer with a separate written statement of the
foregoing, should Buyer request such a separate written statement. Buyer shall
be responsible for all fees, permits, engineering, and filings and related costs
necessary for any and all of the application(s) contemplated by this Section.
Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any officer, director, agent,
employee and affiliate thereof with respect to any and all demands, claims,
actions, suits, proceedings, assessments, judgments, costs, losses, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) relating to or
arising out of any application, documents, filings or fees executed by Seller
pursuant to this Section.

         9.1 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES. All representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or in any other
Document shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period and the Closing shall
not be deemed a waiver by either party of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements of the other party contained herein or in any other
Document. No claim may be brought under this Agreement or any other Document
unless written notice describing in reasonable detail the nature and basis of
such claim is given on or prior to the last day of the Survival Period. In the
event such a notice is so given, the right to indemnification with respect
thereto under this Article shall survive the Survival Period until such claim is
finally resolved and any obligations with respect thereto are fully satisfied.

except as follows: as to any representation and warranty contained in Section
3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 3.6(a), Section 3.14, Section 4.1,

         9.2 INDEMNIFICATION IN GENERAL. Buyer and Seller agree that the rights
to indemnification and to be held harmless set forth in this Agreement shall, as
between the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, be
exclusive of all rights to indemnification and to be held harmless that such
party (or its successors or assigns) would otherwise have by statute, common law
or otherwise.

         9.3 INDEMNIFICATION BY SELLER.

             (a) Subject to the provisions of Subsection (b) below and Section
10.2 below, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and any officer,
director, agent, employee and affiliate thereof with respect to any and all
demands, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, assessments, judgments, costs,
losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
relating to or arising out of:

                 (i) Any breach or non-performance by Seller of any of its
representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement; or

                                       25

<PAGE>   26

                 (ii) The ownership or operation by Seller of the Station or the
Sale Assets on or prior to the Closing Date; or

                 (iii) All other liabilities and obligations of Seller other

Sales Act, if applicable, in connection with the transaction contemplated
hereby.

             (b) Except for any amounts owed by Seller to Buyer under Section
9.3(a) (iv), and Section 2.7, if Closing occurs, Seller shall not be obligated
to indemnify Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3(a) hereof until the aggregate amount
of such claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses exceeds Buyer's
Threshold Limitation, in which case Buyer shall then be entitled to
indemnification of the excess of the Buyer's Threshold Limitation.

         9.4 INDEMNIFICATION BY BUYER.

             (a) Subject to the provisions of Subsection (b) below and Section
10.2 below, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and any officer,
director, agent, employee and affiliate thereof with respect to any and all
demands, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, assessments, judgments, costs,
losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
relating to or arising out of:

                 (i) Any breach or non-performance by Buyer of any of its
representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement or any other Document;
or

                 (ii) The ownership or operation of the Station after the
Closing Date; or

                 (iii) The Assumed Obligations and all other liabilities or
obligations of Buyer.

             (b) Except for any amounts owed by Buyer to Seller under Section
2.7, if Closing occurs, Buyer shall not be obligated until the aggregate amount
of such claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses exceeds
Seller's Threshold Limitation, in which case Seller shall then be entitled to
indemnification of excess of the Seller's Threshold Limitation.

         9.5 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. In the event that an Indemnified Party
may be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any asserted claim
of, or obligation or liability to, any third party, such party shall notify the
Indemnifying Party thereof, describing the matters involved in reasonable
detail, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense
thereof upon written notice to the Indemnified Party with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that once the defense thereof
is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall

                                       26

<PAGE>   27

keep the Indemnified Party advised of all developments in the defense thereof
and any related litigation, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled at all
times to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense. If the
Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to
defend or contest its obligation to indemnify under this Article IX, the
Indemnified Party may pay, compromise, or defend such a claim without prejudice
to any right it may have hereunder.

                                    ARTICLE X

                         TERMINATION; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

         10.1 TERMINATION. If Closing shall not have previously occurred, this
Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of:

             (a) the giving of written notice from Seller to Buyer, or from
Buyer to Seller, if:

                 (i) Seller gives such termination notice and is not at such
time in material default hereunder, or Buyer gives such termination notice and
Buyer is not at such time in material default hereunder; and

                 (ii) Either:

                      (A) any of the representations or warranties contained
herein of Buyer (if such termination notice is given by Seller), or of Seller
(if such termination notice is given by Buyer), are inaccurate in any material
respect and would, in the case of Buyer, result in a Material Adverse Condition,
or, in the case of Seller, would be materially adverse to Seller unless the
inaccuracy has been induced by or is the result of actions or omissions of the
party giving such termination notice; or

                      (B) Any material obligation to be performed by Buyer (if
such termination notice is given by Seller) or by Seller (if such termination
notice is given by Buyer) is not timely performed in any material respect unless
the lack of timely performance has been induced by or is the result of actions
or omissions of the party giving such termination notice; or

                      (C) Any condition (other than those referred to in
foregoing Clauses (A) and (B)) to the obligation to close the transaction
contemplated herein of the party giving such termination notice has not been
timely satisfied; and any such inaccuracy, failure to perform or
non-satisfaction of a condition neither has been cured nor satisfied within
twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from the party giving such
termination notice nor waived in writing by the party giving such termination
notice.

             (b) Written notice from Seller to Buyer, or from Buyer to Seller,
at any time after twelve (12) months from the date this Agreement is executed;
provided that

                                       27

<PAGE>   28

termination shall not occur upon the giving of such termination notice by Seller
if Seller is at such time in material default hereunder or upon the giving of
such termination notice by Buyer if Buyer is at such time in material default
hereunder.

             (c) Written notice from Seller to Buyer, or from Buyer to Seller,
at any time following a determination by the FCC that the application for
consent to assignment of the FCC Licenses has been designated for hearing;
provided that the party which is the subject of the hearing (or whose alleged
actions or omissions resulted in the designation for hearing) may not elect to
terminate under this subsection (c).

             (d) The written election by Buyer under Section 5.10 or Article XI.

         10.2 OBLIGATIONS UPON TERMINATION.

             (a) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
10.1(a)(ii)(A) or (B), the aggregate liability of Buyer for breach hereunder
shall be limited as provided in Subsections (c) and (e), below and the aggregate
liability for Seller for breach hereunder shall be limited as provided in
Subsections (d) and (e), below. In the event this Agreement is terminated for
any other reason, neither party shall have any liability hereunder.

             (b) Upon termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to
the return of the Earnest Money from the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement
(i) if such termination is effected by Buyer's giving of valid written notice to
Seller pursuant to Subsections 10.1(a), (b) (c) or (d) , or (ii) if such
termination is effected by Seller's giving of valid written notice to Buyer
pursuant to Subsections 10.1(a)(ii)(C), 10.1(b) or 10.1(c). If Buyer is entitled
to the return of the Earnest Money, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in taking
such action as is required under the Escrow Agreement in order to effect such
return from the Escrow Agent.

             (c) If this Agreement is terminated by Seller's giving of valid
written notice to Buyer pursuant to Subsection 10.1(a)(ii)(A) or (B), Buyer
agrees that Seller shall be entitled to receive upon such termination, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the Earnest Money ("Liquidated Damages
Amount"). SELLER'S RECEIPT OF THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT SHALL CONSTITUTE
PAYMENT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES HEREUNDER AND NOT A PENALTY, AND SHALL BE SELLER'S
SOLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY FOR BUYER'S BREACH HEREUNDER IF CLOSING DOES NOT
OCCUR. BUYER AND SELLER EACH ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGE
AMOUNT IS REASONABLE IN LIGHT OF THE ANTICIPATED HARM WHICH WILL BE CAUSED BY
BUYER'S BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE DIFFICULTY OF PROOF OF LOSS, THE
INCONVENIENCE AND NON-FEASIBILITY OF OTHERWISE OBTAINING AN ADEQUATE REMEDY, AND
THE VALUE OF THE TRANSACTION TO BE CONSUMMATED HEREUNDER.

                                       28

<PAGE>   29

             (d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, but subject to the provisions of the following sentences, if this
Agreement is terminated by Buyer's giving of written notice to Seller pursuant
to Section 10.1(a) (ii) (A) or (B), Buyer shall not be entitled to damages or
indemnification from Seller. Subject to the following sentence, if Seller
attempts to terminate this Agreement under circumstances where it is not
entitled to do so, or if Seller, by its own action, causes a breach of warranty
or fails to satisfy a condition (including without limitation a refusal to
consummate the transaction after Buyer has satisfied all conditions to Seller's
obligation to close and Buyer has demonstrated its willingness and ability to
close on the terms set forth in this Agreement and Buyer is not in default
hereunder) with the intent of creating a situation whereby Buyer elects to
terminate under Section 10.1(a) (ii) (A) or (B) and Buyer does so elect to
terminate, the monetary damages, if any, to which Buyer shall be entitled shall
be limited to direct and actual damages and shall in no event exceed the
Liquidated Damages Amount in the aggregate. If a circumstance described in the
preceding sentence should arise and if Buyer establishes that the action of
Seller described therein was taken intentionally in order to allow Seller to
sell or enter into negotiations to sell the Station to another party, the
damages to which Buyer shall be entitled shall not be limited to direct and
actual damages.

             (e) In any dispute between Buyer and Seller as to which party is
entitled to all or a portion of the Earnest Money, the prevailing party shall
receive, in addition to that portion of the Earnest Money to which it is
entitled, an amount equal to interest on that portion at the rate of 10% per
annum, calculated from the date the prevailing party's demand for all or a
portion of the Earnest Money is received by the Escrow Agent.

         10.3 TERMINATION NOTICE. Each notice given by a party pursuant to
Section 10.1 to terminate this Agreement shall specify the Subsection (and
clause or clauses thereof) of Section 10.1 pursuant to which such notice is
given.

                                       29

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                    CASUALTY

         Upon the occurrence of any casualty loss, damage or destruction
material to the operation of the Station prior to the Closing, Seller shall
promptly give Buyer written notice setting forth in detail the extent of such
loss, damage or destruction and the cause thereof if known. Seller shall use its
reasonable efforts to promptly commence and thereafter to diligently proceed to
repair or replace any such lost, damaged or destroyed property. In the event
that such repair or replacement is not fully completed prior to the Closing
Date, Buyer may elect to postpone the Closing until Seller's repairs have been
fully completed or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on the
Closing Date, in which event Seller shall assign to Buyer the portion of the
insurance proceeds (less all reasonable costs and expenses, including without
limitation attorney's fees, expenses and court costs incurred by Seller to
collect such amounts), if any, not previously expended by Seller to repair or
replace the damaged or destroyed property (such assignment of proceeds to take
place regardless of whether the parties close on the scheduled or deferred
Closing Date) and Buyer shall accept the damaged Sale Assets in their damaged
condition. In the event the loss, damage or destruction causes or will cause the
Station to be off the air for more than seven (7) consecutive days or fifteen
(15) total days, whether or not consecutive, then Buyer may elect either (i) to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on the Closing Date, in which
event Seller shall assign to Buyer the portion of the insurance proceeds (less
all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation attorney's fees,
expenses and court costs, incurred by Seller to collect such amounts), if any,
not previously expended by Seller to repair or replace the damaged or destroyed
property, and Buyer shall accept the damaged Sale Assets in their damaged
condition, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                               CONTROL OF STATION

         Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Buyer shall
not control, manage or supervise the operation of the Station or conduct of its
business, all of which shall remain the sole responsibility and under the
control of Seller, subject to Seller's compliance with this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         13.1 FURTHER ACTIONS. From time to time before, at and after the
Closing, each party, at its expense and without further consideration, will
execute and deliver such documents to the other party as the other party may
reasonably request in order more effectively to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.

                                       30

<PAGE>   31

         13.2 ACCESS AFTER THE CLOSING DATE. After the Closing and for a period
of twelve (12) months, Buyer shall provide Seller, Seller's counsel, accountants
and other representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to
the books, records, property, personnel, contracts, commitments and documents of
the Station pertaining to transactions occurring prior to the Closing Date when
requested by Seller, and Buyer shall retain such books and records for the
normal document retention period of Buyer. At the request and expense of Seller,
Buyer shall deliver copies of any such books and records to Seller.

         13.3 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.

             (a) Any fees assessed by the FCC in connection with the filings
contemplated by Section 5.2 or consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be shared equally between Seller and Buyer.

             (b) All state or local sales or use, stamp or transfer, grant and
other similar taxes payable in connection with consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party primarily liable under applicable
law to pay such tax.

             (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each
of the parties shall bear its own expenses, including the fees of any attorneys
and accountants engaged by such party, in connection with this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.

         13.4 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. Seller acknowledges that the Station is of a
special, unique, and extraordinary character, and that any breach of this
Agreement by Seller could not be compensated for by damages. Accordingly, if
Seller shall breach its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall be
entitled, in addition to any of the remedies that it may have, to enforcement of
this Agreement (subject to obtaining any required approval of the FCC) by decree
of specific performance or injunctive relief requiring Seller to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement. In any action by Buyer to equitably enforce
the provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall waive the defense that there is
an adequate remedy at law or equity and agrees that Buyer shall have the right
to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement without being
required to prove actual damages, post bond or furnish other security.

         13.5 NOTICES. All notices, demands or other communications given
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if delivered by
courier or sent by registered or certified mail, first class, postage prepaid,
