REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT

THIS REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 12, 2003 by and between Nexstar Broadcasting Group, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Nexstar”), and Quorum Broadcast Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Quorum” and, together with Nexstar, the “Parties”). Each capitalized term that is used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning set forth in the attached Definitions Schedule.

The Parties are entering into this Agreement to set forth the terms upon which they intend to effect a merger (the “Merger”) of Nexstar (following the merger of Nexstar into Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NBG Inc.”), in the Preliminary Merger described below) with Quorum Broadcast Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Quorum Inc.”), and Quorum Broadcasting Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Quorum LLC”), each of which is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Quorum, subject to approval by their respective managers and directors (as applicable) and requisite members and stockholders (as applicable) and the other conditions set forth in this Agreement.

The Parties intend that, after (but on the date of) the Merger, the corporation that survives the Merger will issue shares of its common stock in the “IPO” referred to in this Agreement.

THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

REORGANIZATION AND CLOSING

1.1 Actions in Contemplation of the Merger.

(a) Redemption of Nexstar Series AA Preferred Units. To the extent that Nexstar is permitted to do so under agreements and instruments governing the Nexstar Senior/Mezz Obligations (and, in the case of transactions described in clause (ii) below, to the extent Subsidiaries of Nexstar are permitted to loan or distribute cash to Nexstar under such agreements and instruments), on the date of (but prior to) the Merger: (i) Nexstar will distribute to the holder(s) of the Nexstar Series AA Preferred Units (pro rata among them, based on the aggregate Redemption Price of the Nexstar Series AA Preferred Units held by each of them) the promissory notes previously issued to Nexstar by Nexstar Finance Holdings II, L.L.C. and not yet paid in full (the “NFH Notes”), in redemption of the number of Nexstar Series AA Preferred Units that would be redeemed at the Redemption Price of those Nexstar Series AA Preferred Units if Nexstar has instead paid the holders thereof cash in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of, and unpaid accrued interest on, the NFH Notes as of the Closing Date; and (ii) Nexstar will redeem for cash all other Nexstar Series AA Preferred Units that it is able to redeem with the cash available to it for that purpose, at the Redemption Price of such Units (pro rata among the holders thereof, based on the aggregate Redemption Price of the Nexstar Series AA Preferred Units held by each of them). Prior to such redemption, Nexstar will cause the NFH Notes to be amended so that they are due and payable in full upon the consummation of the IPO.

(b) Redemption of Quorum Series A Preferred Units. On the date of (but prior to) the Merger: (i) Quorum LLC will issue to Quorum promissory notes of Quorum LLC (collectively, the “Quorum Series A Notes”) that are due and payable in full upon the consummation of the IPO and that have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Redemption Price of the Quorum Series A Preferred, and (ii) Quorum will redeem from the holders thereof all of the outstanding Quorum Series A Preferred Units, by transferring to each holder of any such Units a Quorum Series A Note having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Redemption Price of the Quorum Series A Preferred Units held by such holder.

(c) Purchase of Certain Common Units. On the date of (but prior to) the Merger: (ii) Quorum LLC will issue to Quorum promissory notes of Quorum LLC (collectively, the “Quorum Common Notes”) that are due and payable in full upon the consummation of the IPO and that have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Redemption Price of the Quorum Common Units held by then-present or former employees of Quorum’s Subsidiaries who are identified by Quorum on the Closing Date (the “Departing Management Holders”), and (ii) Quorum will redeem from each Departing Management Holder all of the outstanding Quorum Common Units held by such Holder, by transferring to such Holder a Quorum Common Note having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Redemption Price of the Quorum Common Units held by such holder.

(d) Assumption of Quorum Contingent Note. On the date of (but prior to) the Merger, Quorum LLC will assume all of the obligations of Quorum under the Quorum Contingent Note and Quorum will be released from all obligations thereunder.

(e) Assumption of ABS Purchase Obligation. On the date of (but prior to) the Merger, Quorum LLC will assume all of the obligations of Quorum under the ABS Purchase Agreement and Quorum will be released from all obligations thereunder.

(f) Merger of Nexstar and NBG Inc. On the date of (but prior to) the Merger, Nexstar will merge with and into NBG Inc., with NBG Inc. being the survivor of such merger (the “Preliminary Merger”) and succeeding to Nexstar’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and becoming a Party by virtue of the Preliminary Merger.

1.2 Merger Certificate. After the actions described in Section 1.1, on the Closing Date, NBG Inc. will execute and deliver, and Quorum will cause Quorum Inc. and Quorum LLC to execute and deliver, an agreement and plan of merger among NBG Inc., Quorum Inc. and Quorum LLC having terms consistent with this Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) and pursuant to the Merger Agreement the Parties will cause a certificate of merger meeting the requirements of the Delaware LLC Law and the Delaware Corporate Law, and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to the Parties (the “Certificate of Merger”), to be properly executed and filed in accordance with the Delaware LLC Law and the Delaware Corporate Law.

1.3 Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, Quorum Inc. and Quorum LLC will merge with and into NBG Inc.,

and the separate legal existence of each of Quorum Inc. and Quorum LLC will thereupon cease. NBG Inc. will be the surviving corporation after the Merger (in that capacity, the “Surviving Company”). The Merger will be effective at the time on the Closing Date that is specified in the Certificate of Merger (the “Merger Time”).

1.4 Effects of Merger.

(a) Generally. The Merger will have the effects specified in the Delaware LLC Law and the Delaware Corporate Law and, without limitation, all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of NBG Inc., Quorum Inc. and Quorum LLC will vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of NBG Inc., Quorum Inc. and Quorum LLC will become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.

(b) Governing Documents. From and after the Merger Time, the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of NBG Inc. as in effect prior to the Merger will be the certificate of incorporation and by-laws, respectively, of the Surviving Company.

(c) Directors and Officers. From and after the Merger Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Company will be the persons who are the officers and directors, respectively, of NBG Inc. immediately prior to the Merger Time, unless and until any such person thereafter ceases to hold such position.

(d) Characterization. The Parties intend the Merger of each of Quorum Inc. and Quorum LLC into NBG Inc. to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No Person will take a position inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a such reorganization unless required to do so pursuant to a final determination.

1.5 Effect of Merger on Ownership Interests.

(a) On Quorum Inc. Stock and Quorum LLC Interests. As a result of the Merger and without any other action by any Person, the outstanding capital stock of Quorum Inc. and the outstanding membership interests of Quorum LLC, in the aggregate, will be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Company that is equal to the Quorum Pre-IPO Equity Value divided by the IPO Price (the “Quorum Merger Shares”).

(b) On Nexstar Units. As a result of the Preliminary Merger and the Merger and without any other action by any Person, the Nexstar Common Units, in the aggregate, will be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Company that is equal to the Nexstar Pre-IPO Equity Value divided by the IPO Price (the “Nexstar Merger Shares”), and the Nexstar Series AA Preferred Units that are not redeemed pursuant to Section 1.1(a) will remain outstanding. In connection with the Preliminary Merger and the Merger:

(i) the Surviving Company will become liable to pay in cash the Redemption Price of the Nexstar Series AA Preferred Units that are not redeemed pursuant to Section 1.1(a), and

(ii) the Nexstar Merger Shares will be distributed among those Persons that held Nexstar Common Units immediately prior to the Preliminary Merger (other than NBG Inc.), and to the Persons that held Class B Common Stock of NBG Inc. immediately prior to the Preliminary Merger, as if the Nexstar Merger Shares were distributed in liquidation of Nexstar in accordance with the Nexstar LLC Agreement (but assuming that no Nexstar Series AA Preferred Units were then outstanding) and as if NBG Inc. were liquidated in accordance with the terms of its certificate of incorporation immediately after such liquidation of Nexstar.

(c) Classes of Merger Shares to be Issued. The Merger Shares will be comprised in part of Class A Common Stock of the Surviving Company (“One-Vote Merger Shares”), in part of Class B Common Stock of the Surviving Company (“High-Vote Merger Shares”), and in part of Class C Common Stock of the Surviving Company (“No-Vote Merger Shares”), each having substantially the characteristics described in the IPO Filing. Upon consummation of the Merger, High-Vote Merger Shares, One-Vote Merger Shares and No-Vote Merger Shares will be issuable in quantities such that:

(i) all Quorum Merger Shares to be received by Quorum and distributed to either ABRY Fund in any distribution by Quorum following the Merger will be High-Vote Merger Shares,

(ii) all Nexstar Merger Shares to be received by Xxxxx X. Xxxx or either ABRY Fund as a result of the Merger will be High-Vote Merger Shares,

(iii) all Nexstar Merger Shares to be received by BancAmerica Capital Investors I, L.P. as a result of the Merger in respect of Nexstar Common Units held by it will be No-Vote Merger Shares, and

(iv) all other Merger Shares will be One-Vote Merger Shares.

(d) Illustration. An illustration of the computation of the Quorum Merger Shares and the Nexstar Merger Shares (collectively, the “Merger Shares”) is set forth in the attached Merger Share Illustration Schedule.

(e) Fixing Quorum Consideration in Advance of IPO. If Nexstar so elects, then in connection with the preparation of the “red-xxxxxxx” prospectus for the IPO, the Parties will compute the number of Merger Shares that would comprise the Quorum Merger Shares, using their mutual estimates of the Closing Date and of the monetary amounts that are relevant to the computation of the Quorum Merger Shares as of such estimated Closing Date, and assuming that the IPO Price will be the mid-point of the range of the IPO Price to be specified on the cover of such prospectus. In that event, the consideration issuable to Quorum in the Merger will be the number of Merger Shares so determined, even if the Merger Shares that would constitute the Quorum Merger Shares (if computed as of the actual Closing Date) would be lesser or greater in number.

1.6 Actions After the IPO. After the IPO, NBG Inc. will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, effectuate the Refinancing by, among other things: (a) merging with Nexstar Finance Holdings II, LLC and the members thereof, with NBG Inc. being the surviving

corporation of such Merger (the “Follow-On Merger”); (b) redeeming the Nexstar Series AA Preferred Units not redeemed prior to the Merger pursuant to Section 1.1(a); (c) repaying in full the NFH Notes (as the successor to Nexstar Finance Holdings II, LLC by virtue of the Follow-On Merger), (d) repaying in full the Quorum Discount Notes, the Quorum Series A Notes and the Quorum Common Notes (as successor to Quorum LLC by virtue of the Merger), (e) carrying out the terms of the Quorum Contingent Note (as successor to Quorum LLC by virtue of the Merger), (f) consummating the ABS Acquisition (as successor to Quorum LLC by virtue of the Merger), and (g) together with its Subsidiaries, repaying in full all Indebtedness of the Quorum Companies and all other amounts owing under the Quorum Senior Facility and causing all outstanding letters of credit and loan commitments under the Quorum Senior Facility to be terminated.

1.7 Change in Circumstances. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the allocation of the Merger Shares contemplated by this Agreement is based on their mutual understanding of the respective Indebtedness and outstanding Equity Securities of the Companies, their respective pending acquisitions and divestitures and the LSAs to which the Companies are party as of the date of this Agreement. If any Company consummates or enters into an agreement to consummate any acquisition or disposition (other than in respect of the Evansville Sale, the WBAK Acquisition and the ABS Acquisition, which were contemplated at the time the Parties entered into this Agreement), or incurs, issues, repays or redeems any Indebtedness or Equity Securities, or enters into any LSA, or if any LSA or agreement relating to a pending acquisition or divestiture terminates, then the Parties will act in good faith to adjust the allocation of the Merger Shares and the other terms and condition of this Agreement accordingly in a mutually-acceptable manner.

1.8 Final Determinations. The amounts of the Quorum Merger Shares and the Nexstar Merger Shares, and all component or related amounts, will be determined on the Closing Date, based on the information then available and taking into account the transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date and prior to the IPO, by PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, and each such determination will be binding on the Parties and their members absent manifest error.

1.9 Closing. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.1, the closing of the Merger and the related transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will occur at the offices of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, New York, New York, concurrently with, but prior to, the IPO. The date upon which the Closing occurs is the “Closing Date.”

1.10 Certificate Exchange. From and after the Merger, any certificate evidencing capital stock of Quorum Inc., membership interests of Quorum LLC or Nexstar Common Units will merely represent the right to receive the Quorum Merger Shares or Nexstar Merger Shares, as the case may be, issuable in respect of such stock, interests or Units, and the certificate(s) for any related Merger Shares will be issued only upon the surrender to the Surviving Company of any certificate evidencing such stock, interests or Units for cancellation.

1.11 Merger Prior to Evansville Sale.

(a) For Closing Purposes. If, on the Closing Date, the Evansville Sale has not been consummated, then notwithstanding clause (3) of the proviso set forth in the definition

of the term “Trailing BCF” in the attached Definitions Schedule, for purposes of determining the Merger Shares to be issued as of the Closing Date, the Trailing BCF of Quorum will be determined as if the Evansville Sale Agreement had never been entered into.

(b) Upon Evansville Sale. If the Evansville Sale is consummated after the Closing Date, then as soon as is practicable after the date such sale is consummated, as additional consideration resulting from the Merger, the Surviving Company will issue to Quorum (and Quorum will distribute to its members), a number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Company that is equal to the excess (if any) of (i) $43,000,000, less any additional amount that becomes payable under the terms of any Quorum Common Note by reason of the consummation of the Evansville Sale, over (ii) the product of the IPO BCF Multiple and the Trailing BCF of Quorum attributable to television broadcast station WTVW, Evansville, Indiana. Such additional shares of common stock of the Surviving Company will constitute additional “Quorum Merger Shares” for purposes of this Agreement and will be comprised of One-Vote Merger Shares and High-Vote Merger Shares in such proportion as is required in order to give effect to the provisions of Section 1.5(c).

1.12 IPO Prior to Closing Date. The Parties contemplate that Nexstar may determine, in its sole discretion, that it is in the best interests of Nexstar and its members to effectuate the Preliminary Merger and the IPO at a time when one or more of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 5.1 is not satisfied and has not been waived. If Nexstar elects, in its sole discretion, to effectuate the Preliminary Merger and the IPO under such circumstances, then the Parties will enter into such amendments of this Agreement as may be required so that, upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1, Quorum Inc. and Quorum LLC may merge into NBG Inc. with the same effect for Quorum and for the former members of Nexstar and stockholders of NBG Inc. as if such merger had been effected on the date of the IPO on terms set forth in this Agreement.
