• Repurchase Offers In the event that, pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof, the Company shall be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase their respective Notes (a “Repurchase Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified below. The Repurchase Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Repurchase Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. Upon the commencement of a Repurchase Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. The Repurchase Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Repurchase Offer, shall state:

• Employment Offers Upon notice to the Seller, and at mutually agreeable times, the Seller will permit the Buyers to meet with its employees prior to the Closing Date. The Buyers may, at their option, extend offers of employment to all or any of the Seller's employees effective on the Closing Date. From and after the execution of this Agreement, the Seller shall use its best efforts to assist Buyers in retaining those employees of the Stations which the Buyers wish to hire in connection with the operation of the Stations by the Buyers subsequent to the Closing, and the Seller will not take any action to preclude or discourage any of the Seller's employees from accepting any offer of employment extended by the Buyers.

• Commencement of the Offer Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article 9, as promptly as practicable after the Agreement Date (but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after the Agreement Date), Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer.

• The Offer (a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article VIII and none of the events set forth in Annex A shall have occurred or be existing (unless such event shall have been waived by Merger Sub), Parent shall cause Merger Sub to commence, and Merger Sub shall commence, the Offer at the Per Share Amount as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, but in no event later than five business days after the public announcement of Merger Sub's intention to commence the Offer. The Offer will be made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal containing the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The initial expiration date of the Offer shall be the twentieth business day from and after the date the Offer is commenced (the "Initial Expiration Date"). The obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to (i) the condition (the "Minimum Condition") that at least the number of Shares that, when combined with the Shares already owned by Parent and its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, constitute a majority of the then outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis, including, without limitation, all Shares issuable upon the conversion of any convertible securities or upon the exercise of any options, warrants or rights (other than the Rights (as defined in the Rights Agreement)) shall have been validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set forth in Annex A hereto. Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to waive any such condition (other than the Minimum Condition), to increase the price per Share payable in the Offer, and to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that (notwithstanding Section 9.5) no change may be made which (A) decreases the price per Share payable in the Offer, (B) reduces the maximum number of Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (C) imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to those set forth in Annex A, (D) amends or changes the terms and conditions of the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of Shares (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries), (E) changes or waives the Minimum Condition, (F) changes the form of consideration payable in the Offer or (G) except as provided below or required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the Commission applicable to the Offer, changes the expiration date of the Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merger Sub may, without the consent of the Company, (A) extend the Offer, if at the scheduled expiration date of the Offer any of the conditions set forth in Annex A (the "Offer Conditions") shall not be satisfied or waived, until such time as such conditions are satisfied or waived, (B) extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the Commission applicable to the Offer and (C) extend the Offer to provide for a subsequent offering period pursuant to Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act for an aggregate period of not more than 20 business days (for all such extensions) beyond the latest expiration date that would otherwise be permitted under clause (A) or (B) of this sentence. In addition, Parent and Merger Sub agree that Merger Sub shall from time to time extend the Offer, if requested by the Company, (i) if at the Initial Expiration Date (or any extended expiration date of the Offer, if applicable), any of the conditions to the Offer other than the Minimum Condition shall not have been waived or satisfied, and the Minimum Condition shall have been satisfied, until (taking into account all such extensions) the earlier of August 31, 2000 or such earlier date upon which any such condition shall not be reasonably capable of being satisfied prior to August 31, 2000; or (ii) if at the Initial Expiration Date (or any extended expiration date of the Offer, if applicable), all of the conditions to the Offer other than the Minimum Condition shall have been waived or satisfied and the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied, until the earlier of ten (10) business days after such expiration date or August 31, 2000. Upon the prior satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions to the Offer, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub will, and Parent will cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment, purchase and pay for, in accordance with the terms of the Offer, all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as soon as reasonably practicable after the expiration of the Offer. The Per Share Amount shall, subject to applicable withholding of taxes, be net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer (including, without limitation, the Minimum Condition), Merger Sub shall accept for payment and pay, as promptly as practicable after expiration of the Offer, for all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn.

• Asset Sale Offer The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to make Asset Sales. In the event the proceeds from a permitted Asset Sale exceed certain amounts and are not applied as specified in the Indenture, the Issuer will be required to make an Asset Sale Offer to purchase to the extent of such remaining proceeds each Holder’s Notes together with holders of certain other Indebtedness at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest (if any) to the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture.

• Exchange Offer Upon the occurrence of the Exchange Offer in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee will authenticate:

• Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer (a) The Staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. The Company and the Guarantors understand that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available to purchasers) to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act.

• Terms of the Offer Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Purchasers will accept for payment and pay for Shares validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn in accordance with Section 4 of this Offer to Purchase. The term “Expiration Date” shall mean 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on September 30, 2011, unless and until the Purchasers shall have extended the period of time for which the Offer is open, in which event the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest time and date on which the Offer, as so extended by the Purchasers, shall expire. The Offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. See Section 13, which sets forth in full the conditions of the Offer. The Purchasers reserve the right (but shall not be obligated), in their sole discretion and for any reason, to waive any or all of such conditions. If, by the Expiration Date, any or all of such conditions have not been satisfied or waived, the Purchasers reserve the right (but shall not be obligated) to (i) decline to purchase any of the Shares tendered, terminate the Offer and return all tendered Shares to tendering Shareholders, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied conditions and, subject to complying with applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, purchase all Shares validly tendered, (iii) extend the Offer and, subject to the right of Shareholders to withdraw Shares until the Expiration Date, retain the Shares that have been tendered during the period or periods for which the Offer is extended or (iv) to amend the Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the expiration of the Offer, if all conditions are either satisfied or waived, the Purchasers will promptly pay for all validly tendered Shares upon confirmation from the REIT that you own the Shares, and the Purchasers do not intend to imply that the foregoing rights of the Purchasers would permit the Purchasers to delay payment for validly tendered Shares following expiration. The Purchasers do not anticipate and have no reason to believe that any condition or event will occur that would prevent the Purchasers from purchasing tendered Shares as offered herein. Further, by tendering your Shares, you are agreeing to arbitrate any disputes that may arise between you and the Purchasers or the Depositary, to subject yourself to personal jurisdiction in Washington, and that the prevailing party in any such action will be entitled to recover attorney fees and costs. However, by so doing, you are not waiving any of your rights under the federal securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder.

• Irrevocable Offer The offer of each Participating Seller contained in such holder’s Tag Along Offer shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Participating Seller shall be bound and obligated to Sell in the proposed Sale on the same terms and conditions, with respect to each Share Sold (subject to Section 4.3.4 in the case of Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities), as the Prospective Selling Stockholder, up to such number of Shares as such Participating Seller shall have specified in such holder’s Tag Along Offer; provided, however, that if the principal terms of the proposed Sale change with the result that the per share price shall be less than the per share price set forth in the Tag Along Notice or the other principal terms and conditions shall be materially less favorable to the Tag Along Sellers than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice, the Prospective Seller shall provide written notice thereof to each Participating Seller and each Participating Seller shall be permitted to withdraw the offer contained in such holder’s Tag Along Offer by written notice to the Prospective Selling Stockholder within three Business Days of delivery of such written notice from the Prospective Selling Stockholder and upon such withdrawal shall be released from such holder’s obligations thereunder.
