ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Asset Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"), made as of the 10th
day of October 1996, is between Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of Texas, a
Delaware corporation ("Seller"), and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Buyer").
Seller is the licensee of Station KDMM(AM), 1150 kHz, Highland Park,
Texas (the "Station"). Buyer has expressed an interest in acquiring certain
assets used in the operation of the Station, including the FCC Licenses. Seller
has agreed to sell the Station Assets to Buyer in return for payment of
$675,000.
The assignment of the FCC Licenses to Buyer requires the prior consent
of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). Definitions of capitalized
terms used in this Agreement are set forth in SECTION 13.1.
Therefore, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
ASSETS TO BE CONVEYED
1.1. CLOSING. Subject to SECTION 10.1 (Termination Rights), the
closing (the "Closing") of the sale and purchase of the Station Assets shall
take place in the offices of Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 0000 X Xxxxxx, X.X.,

following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in SECTIONS
7.1(B) and 7.2(B) (FCC Consent), or at such other place, time or date as Buyer
and Seller may agree in writing.
1.2. TRANSFER OF ASSETS. At the Closing, Seller shall sell,
assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, the
following assets (the "Station Assets"):
(a) all of Seller's rights in and to the FCC licenses,
permits and other authorizations, including any temporary waiver or
special temporary authorization, issued to or held by Seller
exclusively for use in the operation of the Station, including any
pending applications therefor, as set forth in Schedule 1.2(a) (the
"FCC Licenses").
(b) all of Seller's right, title and interest in the
equipment, spare parts and other tangible personal property located at

of the Station and in any other tangible personal property identified
on Schedule 1.2(b) (the "Personal Property");
(c) all of Seller's right, title, and interest in, and to
the real property described in Schedule 1.2(c) (the "Real Property");
and
(d) the Station's public inspection file, filings with the

engineering data, rights under manufacturers' warranties as exist at
Closing and relate exclusively to the assets being conveyed hereunder.
The Station Assets shall be delivered as is, where is, without any
representation or warranty by Seller except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement, and Buyer acknowledges that it has not relied on or been induced to

to Buyer free and clear of all Liens, except as otherwise expressly provided in

ARTICLE 2
PURCHASE PRICE
2.1. PURCHASE PRICE.
(a) Buyer shall pay $675,000 (the "Purchase Price") for the

(b) The parties stipulate that the Purchase Price is not
based in any way upon the ratings or financial performance of the Station,
because Buyer is neither purchasing the Station as a going concern nor
acquiring any goodwill or intellectual property of the Station. Therefore,
Seller makes no representation or warranty concerning the Station's past
financial performance, and Buyer's obligations under this Agreement are not
conditioned in any way on the Station's financial performance between the date

prior to the Closing Date.

to agree on an allocation of the Purchase Price for income tax purposes. If

8594 finally agreed upon by the parties with their respective federal income
tax return for the tax year in which the Closing occurs.

Seller shall prorate all expenses arising from the operation of the Station as

ARTICLE 9
INDEMNIFICATION, SURVIVAL

shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates and their
respective
-14-
20
directors, officers, employees, and representatives, and the successors and
assigns of any of them, from and against, and reimburse them for, all claims,
damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest,
penalties, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, resulting
from:
(a) Seller's ownership or operation of the Station Assets
prior to the Effective Time;
(b) any liabilities of Seller not assumed by Buyer under
this Agreement;
(c) the breach of any covenant set forth in this Agreement
to be performed prior to or after the Closing by Seller; or
(d) any failure to comply with any "bulk sales" laws
applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby.
9.2. BUYER'S INDEMNITIES. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates and their
respective directors, officers, employees, and representatives, and the
successors and assigns of any of them, from and against, and reimburse them
for, all claims, damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
interest, penalties, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
resulting from the failure of Buyer to perform any of its obligations under
this Agreement or from the ownership or operation of the Station Assets from
and after the Effective Time.
9.3. PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION. The procedure for
indemnification shall be as follows:
(a) The party seeking indemnification under this ARTICLE 9
(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, reasonably
specifying (i) the factual basis for the claim, and (ii) the amount of
the claim if then known. 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) 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)
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
-15-
21
seeking indemnification from Indemnitor if Claimant's failure has not
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) 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 seek appropriate legal remedy.
(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 reasonably acceptable
to Claimant, and the Claimant shall cooperate fully with the
Indemnitor, subject to reimbursement for reasonable 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 at 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 a 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.
9.4. LIMITATIONS.
(a) Neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any obligation to the
other party for any matter described in SECTION 9.1 or SECTION 9.2, as the case
may be, except upon compliance by the other party with the provisions of this
ARTICLE 9, particularly SECTION 9.3.
-16-
22
(b) Neither party shall be required to indemnify the other
party under this ARTICLE 9 unless (i) written notice of a claim under this
ARTICLE 9 was received by the party within the pertinent survival period
specified in SECTION 9.5 and (ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of
claims against the party to which the other party (as a Claimant) is entitled
to be indemnified under this Agreement exceeds $5,000, and then only for the
excess over $5,000. Neither party shall have any liability to the other party
under any circumstances for special, consequential, punitive or exemplary
damages, and in no event shall Seller's total liability to Buyer under this
Agreement exceed the amount of the Purchase Price.
9.5. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. The
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall not survive
the Closing. The covenants, indemnities and other 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 covenants,
indemnities and agreements and shall survive the Closing for a period of one
(1) year after the Closing Date (the "Survival Period"). No claim may be
brought under 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 Survival Period. In any event such notice is given, the right to
indemnification with respect thereto shall survive the 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.
9.6. SOLE REMEDY. After the Closing, the right to
indemnification under this ARTICLE 9 shall be the exclusive remedy of any party
in connection with any breach or default by another party under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 10
TERMINATION RIGHTS
10.1. 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:
-17-
23
(i) if the other party is in material breach of this
Agreement and such breach has been neither cured within ten
(10) days after written notice of such breach nor waived by
the party giving such termination notice;
(ii) if there shall be in effect any judgment, final
decree or order that would prevent or make unlawful the
Closing or if the FCC shall have released a hearing
designation order requiring a formal hearing on the FCC
Application; or
(iii) if the Closing has not occurred by June 30,
1997 (the "Upset Date").
(b) This Agreement may be terminated by Buyer pursuant to
SECTION 6.8.
(c) This Agreement may be terminated by mutual written
consent of Buyer and Seller.
(d) If either party believes the other to be in breach or
default of this Agreement, the non-defaulting party shall, prior to exercising
its right to terminate under SECTION 10.1(A)(I), provide the defaulting party
with notice specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach or
default. Except for a failure to pay the Purchase Price, the defaulting party
shall have ten (10) days from receipt of such notice to cure such default;
provided, that if the breach or default is due to no fault of the defaulting
party and is incapable of cure within such 10-day period, the cure period shall
be extended as long as the defaulting party is diligently and in good faith
attempting to effectuate a cure. Nothing in this SECTION 10.1(C) shall be
interpreted to extend the Upset Date.
10.2. EFFECT OF TERMINATION.
In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to
SECTION 10.1, this Agreement (other than SECTION 6.6 (Confidentiality), which
shall remain in full force and effect) shall forthwith become null and void,
and no party hereto (nor any of their respective affiliates, directors,
officers or employees) shall have any liability or further obligation, except
as provided in this ARTICLE 10 and in ARTICLE 11; provided, that nothing in
this SECTION 10.2 shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this
Agreement.
-18-
24
ARTICLE 11
REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE
11.1. DEFAULT BY SELLER; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. If Seller breaches or
defaults in its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer may pursue any legal or
equitable remedies available to it and shall be entitled to obtain from Seller
court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by it in
enforcing its rights hereunder. Seller recognizes that, in the event Seller
defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, monetary
damages alone will not be adequate. In such event, Buyer shall be entitled to
obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. As a condition to
seeking specific performance, Buyer shall not be required to have tendered the
Purchase Price specified in ARTICLE 2 of this Agreement, but shall be ready,
willing and able to do so.
11.2. DEFAULT BY BUYER; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. If Buyer breaches or
defaults in its obligations under this Agreement, Seller may pursue any legal
or equitable remedies available to it and shall be entitled to obtain from
Buyer court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by it in
enforcing its rights hereunder; provided, however, that if this Agreement is
terminated by Seller pursuant to SECTION 10.1(A) as a result of a breach or
default by Buyer of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations
hereunder, then Buyer shall pay Seller $300,000 as liquidated damages, in full
settlement of any damages of any kind or nature that Seller may suffer or
allege to suffer as a result thereof, it being 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. In the event that
Seller is entitled to liquidated damages, the Escrow Deposit shall be paid over
to Seller in satisfaction of Buyer's liability for liquidated damages under
this SECTION 11.2. In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to
SECTION 10.1 for any other reason, the Escrow Deposit shall be paid to Buyer.
ARTICLE 12
OTHER PROVISIONS
12.1. TRANSFER TAXES AND EXPENSES. All recordation, transfer,
documentary, excise, sales or use taxes or fees imposed on this transaction

party shall be solely responsible for and shall pay all other costs and
expenses incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, preparation and
performance of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
-19-
25
12.2. BENEFIT AND ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Neither Buyer nor Seller may assign its rights under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto;
provided, however, that Seller may, without the consent of Buyer, assign its
rights hereunder, together with the FCC Licenses and other of the Station
Assets owned or held by Seller, to a trust of which Seller or its affiliates is
the sole beneficiary (the "Disposition Trust"), whether directly or through a
transfer of such rights and assets to a subsidiary which is then conveyed to
such trust, all in accordance with applicable FCC rules and regulations. If
Seller's assignment of its rights under this Agreement in any way delays the
Closing under this Agreement, the parties agree that the Upset Date shall be
extended by the period of such delay.
12.3. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SCHEDULES; AMENDMENT; WAIVER. This Agreement,
and the exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto, embody the entire agreement
and understanding of the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior
agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters provided
for herein. Any matter that is disclosed in a Schedule hereto in such a way as
to make its relevance to the information called for by another Schedule readily
apparent shall be deemed to have been included in such other Schedule,
notwithstanding the omission of an appropriate cross-reference. No amendment,
waiver of compliance with any provision or condition hereof, or consent
pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective unless evidenced by an instrument
in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver,
amendment, change, extension or discharge is sought. No failure or delay on the
part of Buyer or Seller in exercising any right or power under this Agreement
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right or power.
12.4. HEADINGS. The headings set forth in this Agreement are for
convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of
the provisions of this Agreement.
12.5. COMPUTATION OF TIME. If after making computations of time
provided for in this Agreement, a time for action or notice falls on Saturday,
Sunday or a Federal holiday, then such time shall be extended to the next
business day.

12.6. GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. The construction and
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of New
York without regard to its principles of conflict of law. BUYER AND SELLER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION
OR PROCEEDING RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM
MADE IN SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
SHALL BE DECIDED SOLELY BY A JUDGE.
Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge that they have each been represented by
counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and that
their lawyers have fully explained the meaning of the Agreement, including in
particular the jury-trial waiver. Any question of doubtful interpretation shall
not be resolved by any rule providing for interpretation against the party who
causes the uncertainty to exist or against the drafter of this Agreement.
12.7. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of any dispute between the parties
to this Agreement, Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall reimburse the
prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in
enforcing its rights or exercising its remedies under this Agreement. Such
right of reimbursement shall be in addition to any other right or remedy that
the prevailing party may have under this Agreement.
12.8. SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent be held
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application
of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to
which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and
each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced
to the fullest extent permitted by law.
