Joint Venture or Relationship with Subscribers.

 

Nothing
in this Restatement shall create any joint venture or principal-agent
relationship between Broadcaster and Operator. 
No Subscriber of Operator shall be deemed to have any direct or indirect
contractual relationship with Broadcaster by virtue of this Restatement, nor
shall any Subscriber be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this
Restatement.  Operator hereby
acknowledges that it, and not Broadcaster, shall be fully liable for all claims
and responsible for all matters with respect to Operator’s Subscribers except
for claims for which Broadcaster shall indemnify Operator pursuant to this
Restatement.

“Subscriber” means
any party intentionally authorized by any System to receive and is receiving
television programming from such System. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, “Subscriber” shall
include any authorized party residing in a residential location, such as each
single-family dwelling (whether in a single-family or multi-unit building),
hotel/motel guest room, hospital room, dormitory room, and prison cell, as well
as each commercial location, such as each office building, lobby, common area,
bar, restaurant, other

establishment or area to which the public may
be admitted, and any other location which could offer the opportunity for
public viewing of television programming, provided such Subscriber does not
charge a fee for viewing.  For
purposes of clarification, in the event Operator provides a Signal to
Subscribers on a bulk-rate basis, then the number of Subscribers attributable
to such bulk-rate party shall *  “Subscribers” shall not include (i) Subscribers
who are not required by Operator or a System to pay for the level of service on
which a Signal is distributed, and (ii) Subscribers who have not paid the
amount that they are required to pay for the level of service on which a Signal
is distributed and who subsequently have distribution of such level of service
to them terminated.  Any Subscriber who
receives a Signal in more than one (1) package of services, on more than
one (1) basis from any System(s), or via more than one (1) distribution
technology from Operator and/or any affiliate of Operator, shall be included in
the Subscriber count as only one (1) Subscriber.

 

19.                                                                                 *

All notices, demands, requests, or other communications

This Restatement contains the entire
understanding of the parties inclusive of Attachments and supersedes any
previous agreement between them and may not be amended except by a writing
executed on behalf of each party by, in the case of Broadcaster, an officer of
Broadcaster and, in the case of Operator, by its Executive Vice President,

Chairman (each, an “Authorized Person”); provided, however, that any Authorized
Person may, by written authorization, designate another person to execute such
an instrument.  The captions used herein
are for reference purposes only and shall not be used in the interpretation of
this Restatement.  This Restatement has
been fully reviewed and negotiated by the parties hereto and their respective
counsel.  Accordingly, in interpreting
this Restatement, no weight shall be placed upon which party hereto or its

Operator, Broadcaster, and their parent companies and subsidiaries of their
parent companies and shall not be disclosed to any other entity or individual
(except each party’s respective attorneys, accountants, and other professional
advisors) without the other party’s prior written consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure may

(f)            During the Term of this Restatement, Operator will not
object to efforts by Broadcaster to secure repeal of any local government
franchise or local law that requires Operator to override and interrupt
Broadcaster’s Signal with Operator’s EAS messages.

 

31.                                                                                 Governing Law.

 

(a)                                  The obligations of Operator and Broadcaster under this
Restatement are subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules,
and regulations (including, but not limited to, the Cable Communications Policy
Act of 1984, as amended by the Cable Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992 and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and as further
amended from time to time, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the FCC).

 

(b)                                 This Restatement and all collateral matters relating thereto
shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
applicable to agreements fully made and  to be
performed entirely within such State.

 

32.                                                                           Analog Agreement.

 

As of the
Effective Date, Section 3 of the Analog Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

“Term.  Unless earlier
terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the term of
this Agreement shall be for the period commencing on January 1, 2009, and
continuing through the earlier of (a) * or (b) the date upon which
all Stations cease transmitting their Signals. 
In addition, this Agreement shall terminate and shall be of no further
force and effect with respect to an individual Station and the System(s) carrying
such Station’s Signal upon (x) the return of such Station’s analog
broadcast spectrum to the FCC, (or other designated governmental agency) in
accordance with the government-mandated digital transition scheduled as of the
date hereof for February 17, 2009, or (y) the permanent cessation by

Directors of Hearst-Argyle.  The terms
are as follows:

  Harry T. Hawks

  3.

  	
   

  	
  Title of Position;
  Duties:

  	
   

  	
  Executive Vice
  President & Chief Financial Officer

  

 

You agree to carry
out the duties assigned to you by the senior executives of Hearst-Argyle.  Hearst-Argyle has the right to assign you to
other duties consistent with those of other executives of your level.

 

4.                                       Length of Employment. 
The term of this Agreement will start on January 1, 2008 and
continue through December 31, 2010 (the “Term”).

 

5.                                       Salary.  You will
receive a base salary for all services to Hearst-Argyle as follows:

 

a)                                      $600,000
from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008;

 

 

b)                                     $625,000
from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009; and

 

c)                                      $625,000
from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

 

The salary will be
paid according to Hearst-Argyle’s payroll practices, but not less frequently
than twice a month.  You acknowledge that
you work in a position that is not entitled to overtime pay.

 

In addition it is
understood that you are eligible to receive a bonus up to a maximum of 75% of
your base salary.  The criteria for the
bonus will be set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
Hearst-Argyle, at its sole discretion.

 

The bonus is
payable only for as long as you work for Hearst-Argyle, and will be payable
only at the end of a complete bonus cycle and is not proratable, except in the
event of your death, when it will be proratable.

 

In determining the
amount of your bonus, the books and records of Hearst-Argyle are absolute and
final and not open to dispute by you. 
Hearst-Argyle will pay any bonus due you by March 31 of the year
following the year for which the bonus is applicable.

 

6.                                       Exclusive Services. 
During the Term, you agree that you will work only for Hearst-Argyle,
and will not render services or give business advice, paid or otherwise, to
anyone else, without getting Hearst-Argyle’s prior written approval.  However, you may participate as a member of
the board of directors of other organizations and in charitable and community
organizations, but only if such activities do not conflict or interfere with
your work for Hearst-Argyle, and if such work is approved in advance by
Hearst-Argyle, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.  You acknowledge that your services will be
unique, special and original and will be financially and competitively valuable
to Hearst-Argyle, and that your violation of this Paragraph will cause
Hearst-Argyle irreparable harm for which money damages alone would not
adequately compensate Hearst-Argyle. 
Accordingly, you 

 

 

acknowledge that if you
violate this Paragraph, Hearst-Argyle has the right to apply for and obtain
injunctive relief to stop such violation (without the posting of any bond, and
you hereby waive any bond-posting requirements in connection with injunctive
relief), in addition to any other appropriate rights and remedies it might
lawfully have.

 

7.                                       No Conflict.  You
agree that there is no reason why you cannot make this Agreement with
Hearst-Argyle, including, but not limited to, having a contract, written or
otherwise, with another employer.

 

8.                                       Termination of Employment.

 

(a)                                Hearst-Argyle
has the right to end this Agreement:

 

i)                                         Upon
your death; or

 

ii)                                      For any of
the following (A) indictment for a felony, (B) failure to carry out, or
neglect or misconduct in the performance of, your duties hereunder or a breach
of this Agreement; (C) failure to comply with applicable laws with respect to
the conduct of Hearst-Argyle’s business, (D) theft, fraud or embezzlement at
Hearst-Argyle’s expense, (E) addiction to an illegal drug, (F) conduct or involvement
in a situation that brings, or may bring, you into public disrespect, tends to
offend the community or any group thereof, or embarrasses or reflects
unfavorably on Hearst-Argyle’s reputation, or (G) failure to comply with the
reasonable directions of the Board of Directors of Hearst-Argyle; or

 

iii)                                   Without
cause pursuant to Paragraph 8(b) below.

 

(b)                               This
Agreement may be terminated (i) by Hearst-Argyle or its successor without
cause or (ii) by you within 60 days of a Change in Control (as defined
below) (or

 

 

notwithstanding Paragraph
8(a)(i), by you or your legal representative within such 60-day period, if you
die while still employed), provided that, in the case of either clauses (i) or
(ii) of this Paragraph 8(b), you or your legal representative execute and
deliver a general release in favor of Hearst-Argyle in the form reasonably
required by Hearst-Argyle, and such release has become irrevocable, and if such
termination occurs, then you (or your estate, in the case of your death) will
receive the payments and benefits under this Agreement for the remainder of the
Term as if no termination had occurred; it being expressly acknowledged and
agreed that, with respect to bonuses, and in lieu of the bonuses contemplated
by the third paragraph of Paragraph 5, you (or your estate, in the case of your
death) shall be entitled to receive (at the times that would have applied
absent termination) (x) any accrued but unpaid bonus, and (y) for any
future unpaid bonuses that otherwise would have been payable during the Term,
bonuses payable at fifty percent (50%) of the maximum potential bonus.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you breach
Paragraphs 10 or 11, Hearst-Argyle’s obligations under this Paragraph 8(b) shall
immediately cease, and you (and your estate, in the case of your death) shall
have no further rights under this Agreement. 
For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control shall be deemed to
occur if, and only if, Hearst-Argyle ceases to be controlled by or under common
control with The Hearst Corporation or its affiliates.

 

9.                                       Payment for Plugs. 
You acknowledge that you are familiar with Sections 317 and 507 of the
Communications Act of 1934 and are aware that it is illegal without full
disclosure to promote products or services in which you have a financial
interest.  You agree not to participate
in any such promotion under any circumstances and understand that to do so is a
violation of law as well as a cause for termination.  Also, you agree that you will not become
involved in any financial situation which might compromise or cause a conflict
with your obligations under this Paragraph or this Agreement without first
talking with Hearst-

 

 

Argyle about your
intentions and obtaining Hearst-Argyle’s written consent.

 

10.                                 Confidentiality.  You
agree that while employed by Hearst-Argyle and after this Agreement is
terminated or expires, you will not use or divulge or in any way distribute to
any person or entity, including a future employer, any confidential information
of any nature relating to Hearst-Argyle’s business.  You will surrender to Hearst-Argyle at the
end of your employment all its property in your possession.  If you breach this Paragraph, Hearst-Argyle
has the right to apply for and obtain injunctive relief to stop such a violation,
in addition to its other legal remedies, as outlined in Paragraph 6.

 

You agree to keep
the terms of this Agreement confidential from everybody except your
professional advisors and family.

 

11.                                 Non-Solicitation; Non-Hire. 
You agree that for two (2) years after the expiration or
termination of this Agreement, you will not hire, solicit, aid or suggest to
any (i) employee of Hearst-Argyle, its subsidiaries or affiliates, (ii) independent
contractor or other service provider or (iii) any customer, agency or
advertiser of Hearst-Argyle, its subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate such
relationship or to stop doing business with Hearst-Argyle, its subsidiaries or
affiliates.

 

If you violate
this provision, Hearst-Argyle will have the same right to injunctive relief as
outlined in Paragraph 6, as well as any other remedies it may have.  If any court of competent jurisdiction finds
any part of this Paragraph unenforceable as to its duration, scope, geographic
area or otherwise, it shall be deemed amended so as to permit it to be
enforced.

 

12.                                 Officer; Director.   
Upon request, you agree that you will serve as an officer or director,
in addition to your present position, of Hearst-Argyle or any affiliated
entity, without additional pay.

 

 

13.                                 Continuation of Agreement. 
This Agreement and your employment shall terminate upon the expiration
of the Term (unless terminated earlier pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof),
provided that if Hearst-Argyle gives you written notice of extension then this
Agreement shall continue on a month-to-month basis until the earlier of (i) the
commencement of a renewal or extension agreement between you and Hearst-Argyle,
or (ii) termination of this Agreement by either party on fifteen days
written notice to the other.

 

14.                                 Assignment of Agreement. 
Hearst-Argyle has the right to transfer this Agreement to a successor,
to a purchaser of substantially all of its assets or its business (or  substantially all of the assets or business
of the station or business unit at which you are employed) or to any parent,
subsidiary, or affiliated corporation or entity and you will be obligated to
carry out the terms of this Agreement for that new owner or transferee.  You have no right to assign this Agreement,
and any attempt to do so is null and void.

 

15.                                 State Law.  This
Agreement will be interpreted under the laws of the State of New York, without
regard to conflicts or choice of law rules.

 

16.                                 No Other Agreements. 
This Agreement is the only agreement between you and Hearst-Argyle.  It supersedes any other agreements,
amendments or understandings you and Hearst-Argyle may have had.  This Agreement may be amended only in a
written document signed by both parties.

 

17.                                 Approvals.  In any
situation requiring the approval of Hearst-Argyle, such approval must be given
by either the President and Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Operating
Officer of Hearst-Argyle Television, Inc.

 

18.                                 Dispute
Resolution.  Hearst-Argyle and you expressly
understand and agree that any claim which either party may have against the
other under local, state or federal law

 

 

including, but not
limited to, matters of discrimination, matters arising out of the termination
or alleged breach of this Agreement or the terms, conditions or termination of
employment, which cannot first be settled through direct discussions between
the parties, will be submitted to mediation and, if mediation is unsuccessful,
to final and binding arbitration in accordance with Hearst-Argyle’s Dispute
Settlement Procedure (“Procedure”), of which you have received a copy, provided
that, Hearst-Argyle shall also be entitled to bring any action or proceeding to
seek equitable remedies for a breach by you of the provisions of Paragraphs 6,
10 or 11 hereof.  During the pendency of
any claim under this Procedure, Hearst-Argyle and you agree to make no
statement orally or in writing regarding the existence of the claim or the
facts forming the basis of such claim, or any statement orally or in writing
which could impair or disparage the personal or business reputation of
Hearst-Argyle or you.  The Procedure is
hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
