3. Indemnity for Breach of Obligations Set Forth in Section 2

(a)

(i) In the event that the Company breaches its obligation set forth in Section 2 hereof to any Protected Member or an Indirect Owner thereof (a Trigger Event”), Indemnitors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to such Protected Member and Indirect Owner as damages an amount (the “Base Amount”) equal to the aggregate Federal, state and local income taxes incurred by such Protected Member or Indirect Owner thereof as a result of the income and gain recognized by or allocated under Section 704(c) of the Code (to the

3

extent based upon the difference between fair market value and adjusted basis of the Newsday Assets on the Closing Date, and without regard to income or gain in excess of such built-in gain) to such Protected Member or Indirect Owner thereof by reason of such Trigger Event plus an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Amount”) so that, after the payment by such Protected Member or Indirect Owner thereof of all taxes on amounts received pursuant to this Section 3(a), such Protected Member or Indirect Owner thereof retains an amount equal to the Base Amount.  In the event that Indemnitors become aware of a breach of Section 2 hereof with respect to the  Protected Member or an Indirect Owner thereof, Indemnitors shall promptly notify such Protected Member in writing of such Trigger Event and of the sales price or other amount realized for income tax purposes in connection therewith, or the amount by which the Minimum Debt Amount exceeded the outstanding principal amount of LLC Debt and shall provide the Protected Member with copies of all operative documents relating to the Trigger Event and such other relevant materials as may be reasonably requested by the Protected Member.

(ii) Upon receipt of such notice, the Protected Member shall provide Indemnitors with any information reasonably requested by Indemnitors of the Protected Member (including information regarding Indirect Owners thereof) to enable Indemnitors to verify the computation of the Make-Whole Payment within thirty (30) days of such request.

(iii) In addition, the Protected Member  shall prepare a computation of the Make-Whole Payment owing to such Protected Member or Indirect Owner under this Section 3, which computation shall be delivered to Indemnitors within sixty (60) days after the Protected Member receives notice of the breach pursuant to section 3(a)(i) hereof, but in no event earlier than thirty (30) days after the Indemnitors provide the Protected Member with any information previously reasonably requested by the Protected member.  Indemnitors shall make any required Make-Whole Payment owing to the Protected Member or Indirect Owner pursuant to this Section 3 no later than ten (10) days after delivery by the Protected Member of such computation, or if the Indemnitors do not agree with such computation, within ten (10) days after resolution of such disagreement pursuant to section 3(g) hereof.

(b) For purposes of determining the amount of the Make-Whole Payment payable by Indemnitors:

(i) In the case of a Protected Member or Indirect Owner that is an individual, (a) all income arising from a transaction or event that is treated as ordinary income under the applicable provisions of the Code and all payments under this Section 3 shall be treated as subject to Federal and New York state income tax at an effective tax rate imposed on ordinary income of nonresidents of New York State (and without regard to state-of-residence taxes), determined using the maximum Federal rate of tax on ordinary income and the maximum New York state rates of tax on ordinary income then in effect, adjusted to reflect the deductibility of state taxes for federal income tax purposes, (b) all other income arising from the transaction or event shall be subject to Federal and New York state income tax at the effective tax rate imposed on long-term capital gains of nonresidents of  New York State (and without regard to state-of-residence taxes), determined using the maximum Federal and New York State rates on long-term capital gains then in effect (including for this purpose with respect to any Code Section 1245 or 1250 recapture, the maximum rate imposed on such income), adjusted to reflect the deductibility of state taxes for federal income tax purposes, and (c) any amounts

4

giving rise to a payment pursuant to section 3(a) hereof will be determined assuming that the Trigger Event was the only transaction or event reported on the Protected Member’s or Indirect Owner’s tax return (i.e., without giving effect to any loss carry forwards or other deductions attributable to such Protected Member or Indirect Owner).

(ii) In the case of a Protected Member that is a partnership or disregarded entity for Federal income tax purposes, section 3(b)(i) hereof shall be applied treating each Indirect Owner of such partnership or disregarded entity as if it were directly a Protected Member, and in the case Protected Member or Indirect Owner that is a C corporation (within the meaning of Section 1361(a)(2) of the Code), section 3(b)(i) hereof shall be applied using the highest marginal rate of tax applicable to corporations for Federal income tax purposes and New York State corporate income or franchise tax purposes, adjusted to reflect the deductibility of state taxes for federal income tax purposes.

(c) If a Trigger Event occurs in a taxable year for which Tribune is an S corporation (within the meaning of Section 1361(a)(1) of the Code):

(i) The Base Amount payable to Tribune shall equal (a) the amount of “built-in gains tax” under Section 1374 of the Code and payable by Tribune as a result of such Trigger Event assuming the application of the highest Federal tax rates applicable to such gain and that Tribune’s “net recognized built-in gain” for such year equals the amount of “recognized built-in gain” triggered by such event plus, (b) any state tax payable as a result of such Trigger Event determined by applying a 6.5% state tax rate applicable to the amount of built-in gain as determined under Section 3(c)(i)(a) hereof and making the same assumption regarding the amount of “net recognized built-in gain.”

(ii) No Gross-Up Amount shall be payable to the extent that the receipt of the Base Amount by Tribune does not give rise to “recognized built-in gain” under Section 1374 of the Code.

(iii) The amount of any Make-Whole Payment payable to any shareholder or other Indirect Owner of Tribune shall be zero.

(iv) For purposes of this section 3(c), Tribune shall be deemed to include any of its qualified subchapter S subsidiaries as defined in Section 1361(b)(3) of the Code.

(d) In the case of a Protected Member or Indirect Owner that is not an S corporation, the amount of the Make-Whole Payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the present value (calculated using a discount rate of  ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded annually) as of the last day of the taxable year in which the additional tax liability is incurred of an amount equal to the Make-Whole Payment (determined without regard to this Section 3(d)) payable on the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Trigger Event occurs in a taxable year in which Tribune is not the sole Protected Member or is not an S corporation wholly-owned by one or more tax-exempt entities, the aggregate Make-Whole Payments made to

5

all Protected Members and Indirect Owners shall not exceed the Make-Whole Payment that would have been due to Tribune if it were at all times the sole Protected Member and an S corporation wholly-owned by one or more tax-exempt entities.

(f) The sole and exclusive rights and remedies of  a Protected Member (or Indirect Owner thereof) for a breach or violation of the covenants set forth in Section 2 shall be a claim for money indemnification against Indemnitors in the form of the Make-Whole Payment, computed as set forth in Section 3, and no Protected Member (or Indirect Owner) shall be entitled to pursue a claim for specific performance of the covenant set forth in Section 2 or bring a claim against any person that acquires a Protected Property from the Company in violation of Section 2.  No Protected Member or Indirect Owner shall have any right to indemnification by Indemnitors for taxes other than as provided in this Agreement.

(g) If the Company has breached or violated the covenant set forth in Section 2 (or a Protected Member (or Indirect Owner thereof) asserts that the Company has breached or violated the covenant set forth in Section 2), Indemnitors  and the Protected Member agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding any such breach or violation and the amount of damages, if any, payable to such Protected Member or Indirect Owner under this Section 3, including the amount of built-in gain under Sections 1374 and 704(c) of the Code to report on the tax returns to be filed by the parties hereto as a result of the Trigger Event.  If any such disagreement as to tax and Make-Whole Payment calculations cannot be resolved by the Company and such Protected Member within thirty (30) days after the delivery by the Protected Member of the computation referred to in section 3(a)(iii) hereof, Indemnitors and the Protected Member shall jointly retain a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) to act as an arbitrator to resolve as expeditiously as possible all points of any such disagreement (including, without limitation, whether a breach of the covenant set forth in Section 2 hereof has occurred and, if so, the amount of Make-Whole Payment to which the Protected Member (or Indirect Owner thereof) is entitled as a result thereof, determined as set forth in this Section 3).  All determinations made by the Accounting Firm with respect to the resolution of any breach or violation of the covenant set forth in Section 2  hereof and the amount of damages payable to the Protected Member (or Indirect Owner thereof) under this Section 3 shall be final, conclusive and binding on Indemnitors and the Protected Member. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm incurred in connection with any such determination shall be borne by the Company.  In the event that Indemnitors and the Protected Member, each having acted in good faith and with its best efforts to select an Accounting Firm, are unable to retain an Accounting Firm within sixty (60) days after the thirty (30) day period mentioned above, then following the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, any disagreement may be settled in any court of competent jurisdiction, subject to Section 7 hereof.

4. Section 704(c) Method; Nonrecourse Liability Allocation Method.  The Company shall use, and shall cause any other entity in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest to use the “remedial method” under Regulations Section 1.704-3(d) for purposes of making allocations under Section 704(c) of the Code with respect to each of the Newsday Assets pursuant to  Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), and 1.704-3(a)(6).  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Company shall use, and shall cause any other entity in which the Company has a direct or indirect interest to use, any permissible method selected by the Cablevision Parties for purposes of making allocations under Section 

6

704(c) of the Code with respect to all other property contributed to the Company and with respect to any revaluation of property (excluding the Newsday Assets) pursuant to Treasury  Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), and 1.704-3(a)(6).  “Excess nonrecourse liabilities” within the meaning of Treasury  Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated in accordance with Percentage Interests (as defined in the Company Operating Agreement).

5. Certain Tax Reporting

(a) For Federal, state and local income tax purposes, the Contributions to the Company pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Formation Agreement shall be reported by all parties hereto as nontaxable pursuant to Section 721(a) of the Code and the distribution of the Special Distribution Amount pursuant to Section 1.2 of the Formation Agreement shall be treated as a nontaxable distribution to a partner pursuant to Section 731 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.707-5(b) without separate disclosure pursuant to Section 6662(b)(2)(D)(ii) or any other provision of the Code or Treasury Regulations or similar provisions of state and local law except as required by a change in law after the date hereof.

(b) Pursuant to Notice 89-35, 1989-1 C.B. 675, for purposes of applying the interest tracing rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-8T, the Company shall treat the distribution of the Special Distribution Amount as being made from the proceeds of the Debt Financing. Interest expense on such proceeds shall be allocated in accordance with the general allocation rule of section V.A. of Notice 89-35.

(c) Except with respect to any Refinancing Debt described in the last sentence of the definition of Refinancing Debt, all tax returns filed by the Company shall report the outstanding principal amount of all LLC Debt as a recourse liability allocable solely to the Protected Members except as required by a change in law after the date hereof.

(d) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the parties shall cooperate in preparing schedules showing (i) the amount of net unrealized built-in gain within the meaning of Section 1374 of the Code with respect to the Protected Property as of December 31, 2007 and the allocation of such built-in gain among items of such Protected Property and (ii) the amount of built-in gain within the meaning of Section 704(c) of the Code with respect to the Newsday Assets as of Closing and the allocation of such built-in gain among the Newsday Assets.  The parties shall file their tax returns in a manner consistent with such schedule.

6. Refinancing Debt.  Tribune shall enter into an indemnification obligation as described in paragraph (iv) of the definition of Refinancing Debt extending at least through the end of the Protected Period with respect to any indebtedness that meets the requirements of paragraphs (i) through (iii) of the definition of Refinancing Debt.

7. Tax Contests

(a) In the event that the Internal Revenue Service or any other tax authority asserts a claim or raises an issue in the course of an audit or other tax proceeding involving a Protected Member or Indirect Owner that could result in an obligation of Indemnitors to make a Make-Whole Payment (or increase the amount of any Make-Whole Payment), the Protected

7

Member or Indirect Owner shall promptly notify Indemnitors.  Indemnitors shall have the right to contest, at their own expense, any such claim or issue through appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings, and the Protected Member or Indirect Owner shall cooperate with Indemnitors in connection with the conduct of any such contest and shall not settle or otherwise compromise such contest without the consent of Indemnitors.

In the event that the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority makes a claim or raises an issue in any partnership-level audit or other proceeding of the Company which could result in disallowance of the tax treatment set forth in Section 5(a) hereof, the Company shall promptly notify Tribune.  Tribune shall have the right to contest, at its own expense, any such claim or issue through appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings, and the Indemnitors shall cooperate with Tribune in connection with the conduct of any such contest and shall not settle or otherwise compromise such contest without the consent of Tribune.

8.

9. Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process

(a) Any Action with respect to this Agreement, any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts sitting in the state of Delaware.  By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto hereby accepts for itself and in respect of such party’s property, generally and unconditionally, the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts thereof.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8(a) to the contrary, each party agrees that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  For purposes of this Section 8, “Action” shall mean any pending action (at law or in equity), suit, arbitration, or proceeding.
