PRORATIONS
----------
5.1. PRORATION OF EXPENSES. All expenses arising from the conduct
of the operation of the Station shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of
the Effective Time in accordance with GAAP. Such prorations shall be based upon
the principle that Seller shall be responsible for all liabilities and
obligations incurred or accruing in connection with the operation of the Station
until the Effective Time, and Buyer shall be responsible for such liabilities
and obligations incurred by Buyer thereafter. Such prorations shall include,
without limitation, all ad valorem, real estate and other property taxes,
business and license fees, utility expenses, rents and similar prepaid and
deferred items, except taxes arising by reason of the transfer of the Station
Assets as contemplated hereby, which shall be paid in accordance with Section
14.2. To the extent not known, real estate taxes shall be apportioned on the
basis of taxes assessed for the preceding year, with a reapportionment as soon
as the new tax rate and valuation can be ascertained. All income derived from
the sale of advertising time on the Station prior to the Closing shall be for
the benefit of and shall be collected by Seller.
5.2. PAYMENT OF PRORATION ITEMS. Three (3) business days prior to
Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a preliminary list of all items to be
prorated pursuant to Section 5.1 (the "Preliminary Proration Schedule"), and, to
the extent feasible, such prorations shall be credited against or added to the
Purchase Price at Closing. To the extent that all prorations and adjustments are
not resolved at Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a schedule of such
additional prorations and adjustments (the "Proration Schedule") no later than
forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date. The Proration Schedule shall be
conclusive and binding upon Buyer unless Buyer provides Seller with written
notice of objection (the "Notice of Disagreement") within twenty (20) days after
Buyer's receipt of the Proration Schedule, which notice shall state
6
the prorations of expenses proposed by Buyer (the "Buyer's Proration Amount").
Seller shall have twenty (20) days from receipt of a Notice of Disagreement to
accept or reject Buyer's Proration Amount. If Seller rejects Buyer's Proration
Amount, and the amount in dispute exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000), the
dispute shall be submitted within ten (10) days to the Phoenix, Arizona office
of Deloitte & Touche (the "Referee") for resolution, such resolution to be made
within twenty (20) days after submission to the Referee and to be final,
conclusive and binding on Seller and Buyer. The cost and expenses of the Referee
shall be proportionately allocated between Buyer and Seller based on the
percentage of the disputed amount allocated by the Referee to Buyer and Seller,
respectively, but each party shall bear its own legal and other expenses, if
any. If the amount in dispute is equal to or less than five thousand dollars
($5,000), such amount shall be divided equally between Buyer and Seller. Payment
by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, of the proration amounts determined
pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be due ten (10) days after the last to occur
of (i) Buyer's acceptance of the Proration Schedule or failure to give Seller a
timely Notice of Disagreement; (ii) Seller's acceptance of Buyer's Proration
Amount or failure to reject Buyer's Proration Amount within ten (10) days of
receipt of a Notice of Disagreement; (iii) Seller's rejection of Buyer's
Proration Amount in the event the amount in dispute equals or is less than five
thousand dollars ($5,000); and (iv) notice to Seller and Buyer of the resolution
of the disputed amount by the Referee in the event that the amount in dispute
exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000). Any payment required by Seller to Buyer
or by Buyer to Seller, as the case may be, under this Section 5.2 shall be paid
by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the account of the
payee with a financial institution in the United States as designated by Seller
in the Proration Schedule or by Buyer in the Notice of Disagreement (or by
separate notice in the event that Buyer does not send a Notice of Disagreement).
If either Buyer or Seller fails to pay when due any amount under this Section
5.2, interest on such amount will accrue from the date payment was due to the
date such payment is made at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus two
percent (2%), and such interest shall be payable upon demand.
5.3 Nothing in this Article 5 shall in any way limit Buyer or
Seller from seeking any remedy from the other party for breach of any provision
of this Agreement or indemnification pursuant to Article 16.

to, and shall reimburse the Seller for:

incurred by Seller from the date of payment, in the case of a reimbursable

16.3. PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION. The procedure for indemnification
shall be as follows:
(a) The party seeking indemnification under this Article 16 (the
"Claimant") shall give notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought
(the "Indemnitor") of any claim, whether solely between the parties or brought
by a third party, specifying (i) the factual basis for the claim, and (ii) the
amount of the claim. If the claim relates to an action, suit or proceeding filed
by a third party against Claimant, notice shall be given by Claimant within
fifteen (15) business days after written notice of the action, suit or
proceeding was given to Claimant. In all other circumstances, notice shall be
given by Claimant within thirty (30) business days after Claimant becomes, or
should have become, aware of the facts giving rise to the claim. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Claimant's failure to give Indemnitor timely notice shall not
preclude Claimant from seeking indemnification from Indemnitor except to the
extent that Claimant's failure has materially prejudiced Indemnitor's ability to
defend the claim or litigation.
(b) With respect to claims between the parties, following receipt of
notice from the Claimant of a claim, the Indemnitor shall have thirty (30)
business days to make any investigation of the claim that the Indemnitor deems
necessary or desirable. For the purposes of this investigation, the Claimant
agrees to make available to the Indemnitor and/or its authorized representatives
the information relied upon by the Claimant to substantiate the claim. If the
Claimant and the Indemnitor cannot agree as to the validity and amount of the
claim within the 30-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof),
the Claimant may pay, compromise, or defend such a claim without prejudice to
any rights it may have hereunder.
(c) With respect to any claim by a third party as to which the
Claimant is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitor shall have the
right at its own expense to participate in or assume control of the defense of
the claim with counsel of Indemnitor's choice, provided, that once the defense
thereof is assumed by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor shall keep the Claimant
advised of all developments in the defense thereof, and any related litigation,
and the Claimant shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor, subject to
reimbursement for actual
22
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Claimant as the result of a request by
the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor elects to assume control of the defense of any
third-party claim, the Claimant shall have the right to participate in the
defense of the claim as its own expense. If the Indemnitor does not elect to
assume control or otherwise participate in the defense of any third party claim,
Claimant may, but shall have no obligation to, defend or settle such claim or
litigation in such manner as it deems appropriate, and in any event Indemnitor
shall be bound by the results obtained by the Claimant with respect to the claim
(by default or otherwise) and shall promptly reimburse Claimant for the amount
of all expenses (including the amount of any judgment rendered), legal or
otherwise, incurred in connection with such claim or litigation. The Indemnitor
shall be subrogated to all rights of the Claimant against any third party with
respect to any claim for which indemnity was paid.
16.4. LIMITATIONS.
(a) Neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any obligation to the other
party for any matter described in Section 16.1 or Section 16.2, as the case may
be, except upon compliance by the other party with the provisions of this
Article 16, particularly Section 16.3. Neither party shall be required to
indemnify the other party under this Article 16 for any breach of any
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement unless written notice of
a claim under this Article 16 was received by the party within the pertinent
survival period specified in Article 18 of this Agreement.
(b) No party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder unless and
until the amount for which indemnification is owing exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate for all such matters; provided, however, that
-------- -------
the foregoing exclusion shall not apply to any individual occurrence pursuant to
which the amount for which indemnification is owing exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000). Subject to the foregoing proviso, if such amount exceeds Twenty-Five
-------
Thousand Dollars ($25,000), the Indemnitor shall be liable to the Claimant for
just that portion in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).
(c) The provision of Section 16.4(b) hereof shall not be applicable to
any indemnification of Buyer pursuant to Section 21.10 hereof.
23
ARTICLE 17
TERMINATION RIGHTS
------------------
17.1. TERMINATION.
(a) This Agreement may be terminated by either Buyer or Seller, if the
party seeking to terminate is not in material default or breach of this
Agreement, upon written notice to the other upon the occurrence of any of the
following:
(i) if, on or prior to the Closing Date, the other party
defaults in any material respect in the observance or in the due
and timely performance of any of its covenants or agreements
contained herein, or any representation or warranty hereunder is
inaccurate in any material respect and such inaccuracy is
materially adverse to the party giving notice, and such default or
inaccuracy, if curable, has not been cured within ten (10) days
from receipt of written notice of default from the non-defaulting
party;
(ii) if the FCC denies the FCC Application or any part thereof
or designates any part of it for a trial-type 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 (a)(ii);
(iii) if there shall be in effect any judgment, final decree
or order that would prevent or make unlawful the Closing; or
(iv) if the Closing has not occurred within nine (9) months of
the date of the FCC Application is accepted for filing.
(b) This Agreement may be terminated by Buyer, upon written notice to
Seller,
(i) if Buyer elects to terminate pursuant to Article 20
hereof; or
(ii) if the broadcast transmission of any of the Station from
its main broadcasting antenna at full authorized power is
interrupted or impaired for a period of more than forty-eight (48)
consecutive hours or for an aggregate of seventy-two (72) hours in
any seven (7) day period.
17.2. LIABILITY; RETURN OF ESCROW DEPOSIT. The termination of this
Agreement under Section 17.1 hereof shall not relieve any party of any liability
for breach of this Agreement
24
prior to the date of termination, but if neither party is in breach or default
of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder, neither
party shall have any further liability hereunder. If either Buyer or Seller
shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 17.1 hereof and Buyer shall
not be in material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or other
agreements hereunder, the parties shall instruct the Escrow Agent to remit the
Escrow Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, to Buyer.
17.3. TERMINATION NOTICE. Each notice given by a party pursuant to
Section 17.1 to terminate this Agreement shall specify the Subsection (and
clause or clauses thereof) of Section 17.1 pursuant to which such notice is
given.
ARTICLE 18
SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
------------------------
The representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements
contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, document or instrument
delivered pursuant to this Agreement are and will be deemed and construed to be
continuing representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements
and shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months after the Closing
Date. No claim may be brought under this Agreement or any other certificate,
document or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement 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 applicable survival period. In the
event such a notice is given, the right to indemnification with respect thereto
shall survive the applicable survival period until such claim is finally
resolved and any obligations thereto are fully satisfied. Any investigation by
or on behalf of any party hereto shall not constitute a waiver as to enforcement
of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.
ARTICLE 19
REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
---------------------
19.1. DEFAULT BY SELLER. Seller recognizes that, in the event Seller
defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, monetary
damages alone will not be adequate. Buyer shall therefore be entitled in such
event, in lieu of bringing suit at law or equity for money or other damages
(including return of the Escrow Deposit and the interest earned thereon as well
as costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in the preparation and negotiation of
this Agreement and in contemplation of the Closing hereunder) or for
indemnification under Article 16 hereof, to obtain specific performance of the
terms of this Agreement. In any action to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement, Seller shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at
law or equity and agree that Buyer shall have the right to obtain specific
performance
25
of the terms of this Agreement without being required to prove actual damages,
post bond or furnish other security. In addition, Buyer shall be entitled to
obtain from Seller court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by it in
enforcing its rights hereunder, plus interest at the Prime Rate on the amount of
any judgment obtained against Seller from the date of default until the date of
payment of the judgment. As a condition to seeking specific performance, Buyer
shall not be required to have tendered the Purchase Price specified in Section
2.1 of this Agreement, but shall be ready, willing and able to do so.
19.2. DEFAULT BY BUYER. If the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are not consummated as a result of Buyer's wrongful failure to close
hereunder, and Seller is not also in material breach hereunder, Seller shall be
entitled to payment of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) as liquidated
damages in full settlement of any damages of any nature or kind that Seller may
suffer or allege to suffer as the result thereof. It is understood and agreed
that the amount of liquidated damages represents Buyer's and Seller's reasonable
estimate of actual damages and does not constitute a penalty. Recovery of
liquidated damages under this Section 19.2 shall be the sole and exclusive
remedy of Seller against Buyer for breach of or failure to consummate this
Agreement and shall be applicable regardless of the actual amount of damages
sustained. In addition, Seller shall be entitled to obtain from Buyer court
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by it in enforcing its rights
hereunder, plus interest at the Prime Rate on the amount of any judgment
obtained against Buyer from the date of default until the date of payment of the
judgment. As a condition to obtaining liquidated damages, Seller shall not be
required to have tendered the Station Assets but shall be required to
demonstrate that it is willing and able to do so and to perform its other
closing obligations in all material respects.
ARTICLE 20
RISK OF LOSS
------------
The risk of loss or damage to the Station Assets prior to the Effective
Time shall be upon Seller. Seller shall repair, replace and restore any damaged
or lost Station Asset to its prior condition as soon as possible and in no event
later than the Effective Time; provided, however, that Seller shall have no
-----------------
obligation to repair, replace or restore a damaged or lost Station Asset that is
obsolete if no replacement asset is necessary or useful for the continued
operation of the Station consistent with past practice. If Seller is unable or
fails to restore or replace a lost or damaged Station Asset prior to the Closing
and the cost of such restoration or replacement would exceed $75,000, Buyer may
elect (a) to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article 17 hereof, (b) to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date,
in which event Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing Seller's rights under any
insurance policy or pay over to Buyer all proceeds of insurance covering such
Station Asset's damage, destruction or loss, or (c) delay the Closing Date until
a date within fifteen (15) days after Seller gives written notice to Buyer of
completion of the restoration or replacement of such Station Asset. If Seller is
26
unable or fails to restore or replace any lost or damaged Station Asset prior to
the Closing Date and the cost of such restoration or replacement would be
$75,000 or less the Purchase Price shall be reduced in an amount equal to the
reasonable cost to restore or replace said Station Asset or a reasonable reserve
shall be placed in escrow pending cure or repair. If the delay in the Closing
Date under this Article 20 would cause the Closing to fall at any time after the
period permitted by the FCC Consent, Seller and Buyer shall file an appropriate
request with the FCC for an extension of time within which to complete the
Closing.
ARTICLE 21

the Closing assign its rights under this Agreement to one or more "qualified
intermediaries," as defined in Treasury Regulation (S) 1.103 l(k) - 1 (g)(4),
subject to all of Seller's rights under this Agreement. Seller agrees to
reasonably cooperate with Buyer and such intermediary(ies) in arranging and
effecting the Like-kind Exchange and shall execute such additional documents as
may be reasonably necessary in order to effect the Like-kind Exchange, provided
that Seller shall have no obligations under this Section 21.12 unless (a) Buyer
gives notice to Seller of its decision to proceed with a Like-kind Exchange not
later than ten (10) business days prior to the Closing Date, (b) Buyer agrees to
indemnify and reimburse Seller for any and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Seller in cooperating with
Buyer; (c) such Like-kind Exchange will not, in Seller's judgment, materially

agent and such appointment shall have been accepted in writing. In the event
that no replacement escrow agent has been appointed by Buyer and Seller
7
within sixty (60) days of the Resignation Notice, Escrow Agent shall be

RECITALS
--------
Radio 94 is the licensee of and operates radio broadcast station KOOL(AM),
Phoenix, Arizona (the "Station"), pursuant to licenses issued by the Federal
Communications Commission (the "FCC").
Radio 94 and Salem have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, made as of
the __ day of ___ 1996 (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which
Radio 94 and Salem have agreed that Radio 94 will sell and Salem will acquire
certain of the assets associated solely with the operation of the Station on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
As a condition of the Purchase Agreement, Salem has agreed to grant Radio 94
a right of first refusal to acquire the Station.
Therefore, the parties agree as follows:
1. SALE OF THE STATION. Following the acquisition of the Station by Salem
-------------------
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if at any time, Salem or its shareholders
receives from a third party a bona fide offer to purchase the station or to
acquire control of Salem, as hereinafter defined, which offer Salem or its
shareholders are prepared to accept (the "Offer"), Salem shall promptly notify
Radio 94 of the Offer in writing, specifying all of the terms and conditions of
the Offer (or, in the event of an offer to transfer control of Salem's parent
company, Salem Communications Corporation ("SCC"), an amount to be allocated to
the Station by SCC based upon terms set forth in the Offer, or, at Radio 94's
election and expense, an independent appraisal conducted by an independent
appraiser selected by Radio 94, which selection shall be subject to SCC's prior
approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, may be requested to determine
the fair market value of the Station, based upon the value of the Station in
relation to the terms of the Offer) and providing Radio 94 with a complete copy
of the Offer. Radio 94 shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such
notification within which to obtain such appraisal. Radio 94 shall have ten (10)
business days after receipt of such notification or, if applicable, ten (10)
business days after receipt of the appraisal within which to elect to purchase
the Station on the same financial terms and conditions described in the Offer or
in the event of an offer to transfer control of SCC to agree to SCC's allocation
or to agree to be subject to the results of the independent appraisal. If Radio
94 notifies Salem in writing within this period that it does not wish to
2
purchase the Station, or if Radio 94 fails to notify Salem within this period
that it wishes to purchase the Station, Salem or its shareholders shall be
permitted for a period of the following forty-five (45) days to enter into a
definitive contract to sell the Station on substantially the same terms and
conditions of, and to the party submitting, the Offer disclosed to Radio 94. If
the terms and conditions of the offer as initially disclosed to Radio 94 are
proposed to be changed in a material manner within such forty-five (45) day
period, the revised terms and conditions shall be disclosed in writing to Radio
94, which shall have ten (10) business days following receipt of the changes to
elect to exercise its right to purchase the Station on such revised terms and
conditions in the manner set forth in this paragraph. If Salem or its
shareholders do not enter into a definitive contract with the offeror to sell
the Station on the terms initially disclosed to Radio 94 within the permitted
forty-five (45) day period, or within ten (10) days following Radio 94's
decision not to purchase the Station on the revised terms and conditions or its
failure to notify Salem within the applicable period, then Radio 94's right of
first refusal shall be reinstated. A sale is any transaction which involves an
assignment of the broadcast license requiring prior FCC approval by the filing
of an FCC application on current FCC Form 314 or the equivalent thereof, as
defined under the FCC Rules. A transfer of control is any transaction requiring
prior FCC approval by the filing of an FCC application on current FCC Form 315
or the equivalent thereof, as defined under the FCC Rules; provided however that
control of the Station shall not be deemed to have been transferred in the event
that the stock of SCC becomes publicly traded and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx III and
Smart X. Xxxxxxxx collectively maintain not less than a 25% voting interest in
SCC.
2. TERM. This Agreement shall be in effect during the time period during
----
which Salem, or an entity controlling, controlled by or under common control
with Salem, is the licensee of the Station (the "Term"). This Agreement shall
terminate on the first occurrence of either (a) following Radio 94's failure to
exercise its right of first refusal hereunder, the assignment of the Station's
license or transfer of control of the licensee of the Station to any person or
entity not controlling, controlled by or under common control with Salem, or (b)
the date on which Radio 94 no longer owns any radio station licensed to a
community located within a seventy-five (75) mile radius of Phoenix, Arizona.

---------------------------------
COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE
-----------------------
This Covenant Not to Compete (the "Agreement") is made as of the ___ day of
______, 1996, by and between Salem Communications Corporation ("SCC"), Salem
Media of Arizona, Inc. ("Buyer") and Radio 94 of Phoenix Limited Partnership, a
Maryland limited partnership ("Seller").
RECITALS
--------
Seller has been the licensee of radio station KOOL(AM), Phoenix,
Arizona (the "Station").
SCC is the parent corporation of Buyer.
Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer acquired certain of
the assets of the Station pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement made as of the
__ day of ____, 1996, between Buyer and Seller (the "Asset Purchase Agreement").
Pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and as a material
inducement to Seller to enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement and consummate
the transactions contemplated therein, Buyer and SCC have agreed to enter into
this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Therefore, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein
and in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are affirmed by the
---------
parties as true and correct and are incorporated by reference in this Agreement.
2. Agreement Not to Compete. Buyer and SCC agree that for a
-------------------------
period ending on the earlier of: (1) ten (10) years from the Closing (as defined
in Section 1.1 of the Asset Purchase Agreement); or (2) the date on which Seller
no longer owns any radio station licensed to a community located within a
seventy-five (75) mile radius of Phoenix, Arizona, neither Buyer nor SCC shall
broadcast over the facilities of the Station any of the following formats: Adult
Album Alternative ("AAA"), Adult Contemporary, Alternative, Alternative AC,
Beautiful Music, Big Band, Black, Classic Rock, Classical, Contemporary Hit/Top
40, Country, Disco, Jazz, Middle-of-the-Road ("MOR"), New Age, News, News/Talk,
Nostalgia, Oldies, Progressive, Reggae, Rock/AOR, Spanish, Sports, Talk, or
Urban Contemporary.
-2-
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall
prohibit or prevent SCC or Buyer from broadcasting in a Religious, Religious
Talk (defined as a format in which more than 50% of the broadcast day is devoted
to talk programming emphasizing religious and cultural issues) or Contemporary
Christian Music format or any format derived from those formats.
3. Enforceability. Each party acknowledges and agrees as follows:
---------------
3.1 The covenant set forth in Paragraph 2 above is reasonably
necessary for the protection of the interests of Seller, is reasonable as to
duration, scope and geographic area and is not unreasonably restrictive upon the
rights of Buyer or SCC;
3.2 Buyer and SCC specifically recognize and acknowledge that the
covenant set forth in Paragraph 2 above, and the rights and privileges granted
to Seller are of a special, unique, unusual and extraordinary character which
gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot adequately be compensated
for by means of an award of damages to Seller in an action at law, and that the
breach by Buyer or SCC of this Agreement will cause Seller irreparable and
continuing injury and damage, which will substantially outweigh any conceivable
injury which Buyer or SCC might incur as a result of being restrained from

___________,1996
Salem Media of Arizona, Inc.
c/o Salem Communications Corporation
0000 Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000
Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Radio 94 of Phoenix Limited Partnership, a
Maryland limited partnership ("Seller"), in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, execution and delivery of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement by
and between you and Seller dated as of _______ __, 1996 (the "Agreement"). We
are furnishing this opinion to you pursuant to Section 11.7 of the Agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness of
signatures on documents, the conformity to the originals of all copies examined
by or submitted to us as photocopies or conformed copies, and the authenticity
of the originals of such latter documents.
As to questions of fact in connection with this opinion, we have relied upon
an examination of our own files and records and examination of the public
records of the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC') available as of
_______ __, 1996. We have also relied upon representations made by Seller to the
FCC as we have deemed necessary. As used herein, the term "to our knowledge"
shall mean to the actual knowledge of attorneys in our firm who have substantial
responsibility for Sellers legal matters handled by our firm without further
investigation other than as described in this paragraph. You should be aware
that records of the FCC that are public as a matter of
Salem Media of Arizona, Inc.
______ __,1996
PAGE -2-
law may not be publicly available as a matter of fact. Furthermore, there may be
records of matters pending at the FCC that are not available for inspection by
the public as a matter of law.
This opinion is limited to matters arising under the Communications Act of
1934, as amended (the "Act"), and the rules and regulations of the FCC.
Based on the foregoing and subject to the foregoing and to the further
limitations set forth hereinafter, we are of the opinion that:
1. Seller holds the FCC Licenses listed on Annex A hereto. To our
knowledge, such FCC Licenses are in full force and effect, and
none of the FCC Licenses is subject to any condition other than
(i) conditions generally applicable to stations of this type by
virtue of the Act and the FCC's rules or (ii) conditions
contained on the form by which the Commission evidences the grant
of such licenses or routinely added to such forms. We have no
knowledge, but for purposes of this sentence we have not reviewed
the files of the FCC, of any other license issued by the FCC to
Seller with respect to the Station.
2. The FCC Consent has been granted and has become a
Final Order.
3. To our knowledge:
(a) there is no unsatisfied adverse FCC order, decree or
ruling outstanding against Seller relating to the
Station;
(b) there is no proceeding, complaint or
investigation against Seller relating to the Station
pending or threatened before the FCC (including any
pending judicial review of such an action by the FCC)
except for proceedings affecting the broadcast radio
industry generally to which Seller is not a specific
party; and
Salem Media of Arizona, Inc.
_____ __,1996
PAGE -3-
(c) Annex A includes all applications of Seller on
behalf of the Station or with respect to the FCC
Licenses now pending before the FCC.
This opinion is delivered solely to you and is solely for your benefit in
connection with the above transaction. This opinion may not be quoted or relied
upon for any purpose by any person other than the addressee hereof.
Very truly yours,
XXXXXXXXX, XXXXXX & XXXXXX
