The Purchase Price shall be paid at Closing by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an

account(s) designated by Seller, less the Indemnity Escrow Deposit which shall be delivered by Buyer to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 1.5(b) below.

1.5. Escrow Deposit; Escrow Reserve.

(a) Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement and the PBC APA and pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) among Buyer, Seller and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Escrow Agent”), Buyer shall deposit in escrow with the Escrow Agent in cash an amount equal to $33,500,000 (the “Escrow Deposit”) to be held by the Escrow Agent in an escrow fund (the “Escrow Deposit Fund”) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Deposit Fund shall be released to Seller in accordance with Section 10.5 hereof and to Buyer in accordance with Section 10.7 hereof. In any event, all interest on, or other proceeds of, the Escrow Deposit Fund shall accrue for the benefit of Buyer until such time as the Escrow Deposit Fund is released, at which point such interest or proceeds shall be released to Buyer regardless of whether such release is made to Seller pursuant to Section 10.5 hereof or Buyer pursuant to Section 10.7 hereof.

(b) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit with and transfer to the Escrow Agent in immediately available funds an amount equal to $33,040,000 (the “Indemnity Escrow Deposit”). The Indemnity Escrow Deposit shall be held, together with the “Indemnity Escrow Deposit” (as defined in the PBC APA), by the Escrow Agent in an escrow fund (the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”) pursuant to this Agreement and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, except to the extent earlier released to Seller as provided herein or to the Buyer Indemnified Parties (as defined below) or the “Buyer Indemnified Parties” (as defined in the PBC APA), as applicable, to satisfy any indemnity obligations of Seller or PBC Seller, as applicable, to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Agreement or the “Buyer Indemnified Parties” (as defined in the PBC APA) under the PBC APA, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Indemnity Escrow Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, on and as of the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date, Buyer, PBC Buyer, Sellers and PBC Seller shall instruct Escrow Agent to release to Sellers (or as directed by Sellers and PBC Seller) from the Indemnity Escrow Fund an amount equal to the product of (1) (x) $16,750,000 less (y) the amount of any claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under this Agreement or any claims by the “Buyer Indemnified Parties” (as defined in the PBC APA) for indemnification under the PBC APA, as applicable, outstanding and unpaid as of such date, if any, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement or the PBC APA, as applicable, and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement and less (z) the sum of the amount of all unpaid Closing Date Adjustments, if any, payable by Seller pursuant to Section 1.6 plus the amount of all unpaid “Closing Date Adjustments” (as defined in the PBC APA), if any, payable by PBC Seller pursuant to Section 1.6 of the PBC APA, multiplied by (2) the Applicable Seller Portion (as defined below). On the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Buyer, PBC Buyer, Sellers and PBC Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Sellers (or as directed by Sellers and PBC Seller) from the Indemnity Escrow Fund an amount equal to the product of (i) (a) the amount of funds then held by the Escrow Agent in the Indemnity Escrow Fund (including all interest earned thereon and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts released prior to such date pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement,

the PBC APA and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement) less (b) the amount of any claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under this Agreement or any claims by the “Buyer Indemnified Parties” (as defined in the PBC APA) for indemnification under the PBC APA, as applicable, outstanding and unpaid as of such date, if any, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement or the PBC APA, as applicable, and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Seller Portion. Promptly following final and conclusive resolution of any such claims, the Escrow Agent shall pay to the Buyer Indemnified Parties any amounts due to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Seller’s indemnity set forth herein or shall pay to the “Buyer Indemnified Parties” (as defined in the PBC APA) any amounts due to such Buyer Indemnified Parties under PBC Seller’s indemnity set forth in the PBC APA and shall disburse to Seller (or as directed by Sellers and PBC Seller) an amount equal to the product of (x) the remainder of the Indemnity Escrow Fund, if any, plus all accrued interest thereon, multiplied by (y) the Applicable Seller Portion. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Applicable Seller Portion” shall be equal to the proportion that the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Section 1.4 bears to the sum of such Purchase Price plus the “Purchase Price” (as defined in the PBC APA) payable pursuant to Section 1.4 of the PBC APA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any obligations for which Seller is liable to Buyer under Section 1.6 of this Agreement or any Damages (as defined below) for which Seller is liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Article 9 of this Agreement shall be first satisfied out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Indemnity Escrow Fund covers indemnification claims under both this Agreement and the PBC APA and that Section 1.5(b) of the PBC APA shall work in concert with this Section 1.5(b).

1.6. Prorations and Adjustments. All income and expenses arising from the Business, including, without limitation, Assumed Obligations and prepaid expenses, ad valorem and property taxes and assessments (but excluding Seller’s Accounts Receivable), annual regulatory fees payable to the FCC, power and utilities charges, and rents and similar prepaid and deferred items (including deferred revenue) shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer in accordance with GAAP to reflect the principle that Seller shall be entitled to all income and be responsible for all expenses arising from the Business through the Effective Time and Buyer shall be entitled to all income and be responsible for all expenses arising from the Business after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.6 to the contrary, (i) except as set forth herein, with respect to Trade Agreements (as defined below) for the sale of time for goods or services assumed by Buyer, if at the Effective Time, the Trade Agreements have an aggregate negative balance (i.e., the amount by which the value of air time the Stations are obligated to provide after the Effective Time exceeds the fair market value of corresponding goods and services to be received by the Stations after such date), there shall be no proration or adjustment, unless the aggregate negative balance of the Stations’ Trade Agreements exceeds $150,000, in which event such excess shall be treated as prepaid time sales of Seller, and adjusted for as a proration in Buyer’s favor, (ii) there shall be no proration under this Section 1.6 to the extent there is an aggregate positive balance with respect to the Stations’ Trade Agreements and (iii) there shall be no proration under this Section 1.6 for Program Rights (as defined below) agreements except to the extent that any payments or performance due under such Program Rights agreements relate to a payment period that straddles the Effective Time. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Trade Agreement” means any contract, agreement or commitment, oral or written, other than film and program barter agreements, pursuant to which Seller has agreed to sell or trade commercial air time or commercial production services of a Station in consideration for any property or service

in lieu of cash and (ii) “Program Rights” means all rights of the Stations to broadcast television programs or shows as part of the Stations’ programming, including all film and program barter agreements, sports rights agreements, news rights or service agreements, affiliation agreements and syndication agreements. The prorations and adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 1.6 are referred to as the “Closing Date Adjustments.” Three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall estimate all Closing Date Adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.6 and shall deliver a statement of its estimates to Buyer (which statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for those estimates). At the Closing, the net amount due to Buyer or Seller as a result of the estimated Closing Date Adjustments (excluding any item that is in good faith dispute) shall be applied as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, as appropriate. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a statement of any adjustments to Seller’s estimate of the Closing Date Adjustments, and no later than the close of business on the 20th day after the delivery of such statements (the “Payment Date”), Buyer shall pay to Seller, or Seller shall pay to Buyer (which shall be satisfied out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund), as the case may be, any amount due as a result of the adjustment (or, if there is any good faith dispute, the undisputed amount). Except with respect to items that Seller notifies Buyer that it objects to prior to the close of business on the date that is at least one (1) business day prior to the Payment Date, the adjustments set forth in Buyer’s statement shall be final and binding on the parties effective at the close of business on the Payment Date. If Seller disputes Buyer’s determinations or Buyer disputes Seller’s determinations, the parties shall consult with regard to the matter and an appropriate adjustment and payment shall be made as agreed upon by the parties within thirty (30) business days after the Payment Date. If such thirty (30) business day consultation period expires, and the dispute has not been resolved, then the parties shall select a mutually acceptable, nationally recognized independent accounting firm that does not then have a relationship with Seller or Buyer, or any of their respective affiliates (the “Independent Accountant”), to resolve the disagreement and make a determination with respect thereto as promptly as practicable; provided that if Seller and Buyer cannot agree, the Independent Accountant shall be selected by an accounting firm designated by Buyer and an accounting firm designated by Seller. The determination by the Independent Accountant on the matter shall be binding. If an Independent Accountant is engaged pursuant to this Section 1.6, the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Seller and Buyer in inverse proportion as such parties may prevail on the resolution of the disagreement which proportionate allocation also will be determined by the Independent Accountant and be included in the Independent Accountant’s written report, and an appropriate adjustment and payment shall be made within three (3) business days of the resolution by the Independent Accountant, which resolution shall be rendered within thirty (30) business days after such submission.

1.7. Allocation. All amounts constituting consideration within the meaning of and for the purposes of Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”) shall be allocated among the Station Assets and any other rights acquired by Buyer hereunder, as applicable, in the manner required by Section 1060 of the Code and, subject to reasonable adjustments at or following the Closing to reflect changes in the fair market value of the Station Assets occurring following the date hereof, as set forth on Schedule 1.7.

(b) For purposes hereof, “Marketing Period” means the first period of twenty (20) consecutive business days after the date hereof throughout which (i) Buyer shall have the Required Financial Information (as defined herein) and (ii) nothing has occurred and no condition exists that would cause any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 7 of this Agreement (other than the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 and Section 7.6 and those conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing) to fail to be satisfied assuming the Closing were to be scheduled for any time during such twenty (20) consecutive business day period; provided, that, without Buyer’s consent, in no event shall the Marketing Period be deemed to begin prior to the later of receipt of the HSR Clearance and the initial grant of the FCC Consent (irrespective of whether such FCC Consent shall have become a Final Order); and provided, further, that if the financial statements included in the Required Financial Information that is available to Buyer on the first business day of such twenty (20) business day period (A) would not be sufficiently current on any day during such twenty (20) business day period to permit a registration statement using such financial statements to satisfy the

requirements under Rule 3-12 of Regulation S-X for a registration statement using such financial statements to be declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on the last day of such twenty (20) business day period or (B) would not permit Seller’s independent accounting firm to issue a customary comfort letter (in accordance with its normal practices and procedures) on the last day of such twenty (20) consecutive business day period, then a new twenty (20) business day period shall commence upon Buyer’s receipt of updated Required Financial Information that would be sufficiently current to permit the actions described above in (A) and (B) on the last day of such twenty (20) business day period; provided, that the days from and including November 21, 2012 to and including November 23, 2012 shall not be included in determining such twenty (20) consecutive business day period and if such twenty (20) consecutive business day period has not ended (x) on or prior to August 20, 2012, then it will not commence until September 5, 2012 and (y) on or prior to December 17, 2012, then it will not commence until January 3, 2013.

Buyer and Seller shall diligently prosecute the FCC Application and otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the FCC Consent as soon as possible; provided, however, except as provided in Section 11.1 hereof, neither Buyer nor Seller shall be required to pay consideration to any third party to obtain the FCC Consent.

If, at any point prior to Closing, an application for the renewal of the FCC License of any Station (a “Renewal Application”) must be filed pursuant to the FCC Rules (as defined below), Seller shall timely execute, file and prosecute with the FCC such Renewal Application in accordance with Section 4.1(b) hereof. If the FCC Application is granted by the FCC subject to a renewal condition, then, without limitation of Section 1.9(a), the term “FCC Consent” shall be deemed to also include the satisfaction of such renewal condition. In order to avoid disruption or delay in the processing of the FCC Application, Buyer agrees, as a part of the FCC Application, to request that the FCC apply its policy permitting the assignment of FCC Licenses in transactions involving multiple stations to proceed, notwithstanding the pendency of one or more Renewal Applications. Buyer agrees to make such representations and undertakings as are necessary or appropriate to invoke such policy, including undertakings to assume, as between the parties and the FCC, the position of the applicant before the FCC with respect to any pending Renewal Application and to assume the corresponding regulatory risks relating to any such Renewal Application; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 1.9(c) shall be deemed to amend or modify the provisions of Section 1.3 relating to the Retained Obligations. In addition, and exclusive of any agreements that Seller enters into pursuant to Section 4.1(r) hereof, Buyer acknowledges that, to the extent reasonably necessary to expedite grant by the FCC of any Renewal Application and thereby to facilitate grant of the FCC Application, Seller shall be permitted to enter into such additional tolling agreements with the FCC to extend the statute of limitations for the FCC to determine or impose a forfeiture penalty against a Station in connection with (i) any pending complaints that such Station aired programming that contained obscene, indecent or profane material, (ii) any FCC inquiry regarding a Station’s broadcast of certain video news release or satellite media tour material, or (iii) any other enforcement matters against a Station with respect to which the FCC may permit

Seller to enter into a tolling agreement. Buyer and Seller shall consult in good faith with each other prior to Seller entering into any such tolling agreement under this Section 1.9(c).

(d) In connection with their obligations pursuant to this Section 1.9 with respect to pursuing the FCC Consent and the HSR Clearance, Buyer and Seller shall (i) keep each other informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any governmental agency and of any material communication received or given in connection with any Action by a private party, in each case with respect to this Agreement, the Stations or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) notify each other of all documents filed with or received from any governmental agency with respect to this Agreement, the Stations or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) furnish each other with such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with their preparation of any governmental filing hereunder and (iv) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a governmental agency in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before any governmental agency relating to this Agreement, the Stations or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Action initiated by a private party. Subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, each of Buyer and Seller shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other on, all information relating to the other party or parties, as the case may be, and their respective affiliates, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any governmental agency with respect to this Agreement, the Stations or the transactions contemplated hereby. The FCC Consent and HSR Clearance are referred to herein collectively as the “Governmental Consents”.

3.3. No Conflicts. Except for the Governmental Consents, the execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and the Buyer Ancillary Agreements and the consummation by Buyer of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby does not and will not conflict with, violate, result in a breach of the terms and conditions of, or, with or without notice or the passage of time, result in any breach, event of default or the creation of any lien under, any lease, contract or agreement to which Buyer is a party or to which its assets are subject, any organizational documents of Buyer, or any law, judgment, order or decree to which Buyer is subject, or require the consent or approval of, or a filing by Buyer with, any governmental or regulatory authority or any third party (other than required filings with the SEC).

3.4. Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against Buyer which would reasonably be expected to affect Buyer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise impede, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.5. Qualification. Buyer is legally, financially and otherwise qualified to be the licensee of, acquire, own and operate the Stations under the Communications Laws, and knows of no facts that would, under existing law and the FCC Rules, disqualify Buyer as an assignee of the FCC Licenses or as the owner and operator of the Stations. Other than the Satellite Waiver, no waiver of or exemption from any FCC rule or policy on the part of Buyer is necessary for the FCC Consent to be obtained. To Buyer’s knowledge, there are no matters relating to Buyer’s FCC qualifications that might reasonably be expected to result in the FCC’s denial or material

delay of approval of the FCC Application. From the date hereof through the Closing, Buyer shall maintain Buyer’s FCC qualifications and will take no action that will impair or cause a change in Buyer’s FCC qualifications that would be reasonably likely to result in a material delay of the grant of the FCC Consent.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not conditioned upon the closing of the Financing, Buyer’s receipt of the proceeds of the Financing or Buyer’s ability to finance or pay the Purchase Price and that any failure of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a result of the foregoing or otherwise shall constitute a material breach by Buyer of this Agreement giving rise to Seller’s right to terminate this Agreement under Section 10.1(c) hereof and entitle Seller to receive the Escrow Deposit Fund (including, if applicable, attorneys’ fees and costs) pursuant to Section 10.5.

3.7. Solvency. Assuming (a) the satisfaction of the conditions in Article 7 hereof, (b) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Article 2 hereof (for such purposes reading such representations and warranties without giving effect to any materiality qualifications or exceptions) and (c) any estimates, projections or forecast provided by Seller to Buyer prior to the date hereof have been prepared in good faith on assumptions that were and continue to be reasonable, then immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Financing, any alternative financing, any other repayment or refinancing of debt contemplated in this Agreement or the Commitment Letters, payment of all amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and payment of all related fees and expenses, Buyer shall be Solvent (as defined below).

unsecured or (ii) the right to an equitable remedy for a breach in performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured; and (d) “Present Fair Salable Value” means the amount that may be realized if the aggregate assets of Buyer (including goodwill) are sold as an entirety with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises.

3.8. Projections and Other Information. Buyer acknowledges that, with respect to any estimates, projections, forecasts, business plans, budget information and similar documentation or information relating to Seller and the Stations that Buyer has received from Seller or any of its affiliates, (a) Buyer is not relying on such documentation in making its determination with respect to signing this Agreement or completing the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets, (c) Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties, (d) Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans and budgets so furnished to it, and (e) Buyer does not have, and will not assert, any claim against Seller or any of its directors, officers, members, managers, employees, affiliates or representatives, or hold Seller or any such persons liable, with respect thereto.

3.9. Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other third party has been employed or retained by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or is or may be entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission, or the reimbursement of expenses, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Buyer.

(b) Whether or not the Closing occurs, Sellers shall not be required to bear any cost or expense or to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment in connection with the Financing (“Company Debt Financing Fees”). Whether or not the Closing occurs, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, from and against any and all losses and Damages, suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (including any action taken in accordance with this Section 4.3 and any information utilized in connection therewith), except in the case of the applicable indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Whether or not the Closing occurs, Buyer shall, promptly upon request by Sellers, reimburse Sellers for all documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sellers in connection with this Section 4.3, including accounting fees and expenses, legal fees and expenses and other third party expenses.

(c) Buyer hereby (A) acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of the Financing, or any alternative financing, is not a condition to Closing and (B) reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Agreement, irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any alternative financing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any liability of Seller to Buyer, any Financing Source or any third party pursuant to this Section 4.3 or relating in any way to the Required Financial Information shall be subject to and limited by Article 9 herein (and Section 10.6, in the event of a termination of this Agreement) and any liability of Seller hereunder shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.2(b)(i) and (ii) hereof (and Section 10.6, in the event of a termination of this Agreement).

4.4. Capital Expenditures. Between January 1, 2012 and the Closing, Seller shall make capital expenditures in the aggregate amount set forth on Schedule 4.4 relating to routine maintenance for the Business and those projects described on Schedule 4.4.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the definition of Seller Confidential Information does not include any information that (A) is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Buyer Recipient or becomes part of the public domain after such disclosure through no fault of such Buyer Recipient, (B) is already in the possession of a Buyer Recipient free of any obligation of confidentiality at the time of disclosure to such Buyer Recipient, (C) is rightfully communicated to a Buyer Recipient free of any obligation of confidentiality subsequent to being disclosed to a Buyer Recipient by Seller or its affiliates, (D) is developed independently by any party without the use of any Seller Confidential Information or (E) is required to be disclosed under applicable law (including the rules and regulations of the SEC or any national securities exchange) or court order, provided that prompt notice of such disclosure will be given as far in advance as possible to Seller and Seller shall be given reasonable opportunity to determine whether disclosure is required and to assess the extent of Seller Confidential Information required to be disclosed.

(d) As used herein, “Buyer Confidential Information” means (i) all financial, technical, commercial, proprietary or other information of Buyer or its affiliates disclosed to Seller or its affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents (each, a “Seller Recipient”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) from and after the Closing, all financial, technical, commercial, proprietary or other information of Seller or its affiliates relating to the Station Assets, the Stations or the Business and (iii) each of the terms, conditions and other provisions contained in this Agreement and the agreements or documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the definition of Buyer Confidential Information does not include any information that (A) is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Seller Recipient or becomes part of the public domain after such disclosure through no fault of such Seller Recipient, (B) except with respect to information set forth in subclause (ii) above which, upon the Closing shall constitute Buyer Confidential Information, is already in the possession of a Seller Recipient free of any obligation of confidentiality at the time of disclosure to such Seller Recipient, (C) is rightfully communicated to a Seller Recipient free of any obligation of confidentiality subsequent to being disclosed to a Seller Recipient by Buyer or its affiliates, (D) is developed independently by any party without the use of any Buyer Confidential Information or (E) is required to be disclosed under applicable law or court order, provided that prompt notice of such disclosure will be given as far in advance as possible to Buyer and Buyer shall be given reasonable opportunity to determine whether disclosure is required and to assess the extent of Buyer Confidential Information required to be disclosed.

5.3. Control. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, control, supervise or direct the business or operations of the Stations prior to Closing. Consistent with the Communications Laws and any other applicable laws, control, supervision and direction of the business and operations of the Stations prior to Closing shall remain in the exclusive control of and the sole responsibility of LicenseCo, its parent and its subsidiaries.

5.4. Risk of Loss.

(a) Seller shall bear the risk of any loss of or damage to any of the Station Assets at all times until the Effective Time, and Buyer shall bear the risk of any such loss or damage thereafter.

(b) If prior to the Effective Time any item of Tangible Personal Property is lost, damaged or destroyed or otherwise not in the condition described in Section 2.6, then:

(i) Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of such loss, damage or destruction of such Tangible Personal Property, which notice shall specify with particularity the nature of such loss, damage or destruction, the cause thereof (if known or reasonably ascertainable) and the insurance coverage, if any, available with respect to such lost, damaged or destroyed Tangible Personal Property; provided, however, that, without limiting Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.4(a), 5.4(b)(ii) and 5.4(b)(iii), which shall apply irrespective of the value of the lost, damaged or destroyed Tangible Personal Property, Seller shall not be required to deliver the notice contemplated by this Section 5.4(b)(i) if the value of the lost, damaged or destroyed Tangible Personal Property is less than $100,000;

(ii) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to repair or replace such item (as appropriate under the circumstances), including by submitting one or more claims under any applicable insurance policy maintained by Seller with respect to such lost, damaged or destroyed Tangible Personal Property and applying the full amount of proceeds received by Seller to the repair or replacement of such lost, damaged or destroyed Tangible Personal Property; provided, however, that, Seller shall not be obligated to repair or replace any lost, damaged or destroyed item of Tangible Personal Property if (A) such item of Tangible Personal Property was obsolete or unnecessary for the continued Business consistent with Seller’s past practice and the FCC Licenses or (B) the uninsured portion of such repair(s) or

replacement(s) would exceed $1,000,000 individually or in the aggregate with respect to the Stations, taken as a whole;

(iii) if such repair or replacement is not completed prior to Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as a result of Seller’s election to exercise its rights pursuant to clause (B) of Section 5.4(b)(ii)), Buyer may elect, at its sole option, to (A) extend the Closing Date and, if applicable, the Outside Date by up to ninety (90) days to allow Seller to complete such repair or replacement (and, if necessary, Seller shall join Buyer in requesting from the FCC any extensions of time in which to consummate the Closing that may be required in order to complete such repair or replacement), (B) accept the subject Tangible Personal Property as-is and receive a credit to the Purchase Price for the amount, as agreed in good faith by Seller and Buyer, necessary to restore such Tangible Personal Property to its condition prior to such loss, damage or destruction; provided, however, that if the parties are unable to agree on the amount necessary to restore such Tangible Personal Property to its condition prior to such loss, damage or destruction, they will select a mutually acceptable independent third party to resolve the disagreement and make a determination as promptly as practicable, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties, with the costs of such third party being split equally between Buyer and Seller; and provided further that, if Buyer has elected to proceed to Closing and receives a credit as provided above, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement with respect to such loss or damage and the Buyer Indemnified Parties will have no rights to indemnification under Article 9 of this Agreement with respect thereto or (C) solely in the event that Seller exercises its rights not to repair or replace the subject Tangible Personal Property as a result of the circumstances described in clause (B) of Section 5.4(b)(ii), terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1(g) hereof upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Seller.

5.5. Consents.

(a) The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (i) any third party consents necessary for the assignment of any Station Contract or Real Property Lease (which shall not require any payment to any such third party), and (ii) estoppel certificates reasonably acceptable to Buyer from lessors under any Real Property Leases requiring consent to assignment (if any), but no such third party consents or estoppel certificates are conditions to Closing except for the Required Consents (as defined on Schedule 5.5(a)).

(b) To the extent that any Station Contract or Real Property Lease may not be assigned without the consent of any third party, and such consent is not obtained prior to Closing, this Agreement and any assignment executed pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment of such Station Contract or Real Property Lease; provided, however, with respect to each such Station Contract and Real Property Lease, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to the extent feasible in effecting a lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement under which Buyer shall receive the benefits under the Station Contract and Real Property Lease from and after Closing, and to the extent of the benefits received, Buyer shall pay and perform Seller’s obligations arising under the Station Contract and Real Property from and after Closing in accordance with its terms.

5.6. Environmental. Within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, Buyer may, at its option and at its cost and expense, perform Phase I environmental assessments of the Owned Real Property and, subject to any required prior written approval of the owner or lessor, of the Real Property subject to Real Property Leases. To the extent the consultant performing such assessment advises Buyer in writing that a Phase II assessment should be conducted with respect to any parcel of Owned Real Property, Buyer may conduct such Phase II assessment at its cost and expense within thirty (30) days after Buyer receives the results from the Phase I in writing. If any environmental condition with respect to the Real Property is discovered as a result of such assessments or otherwise that would require correction or remediation under existing applicable Environmental Laws, Seller shall, at its cost and expense, correct and remediate such conditions to bring the Real Property into compliance with such laws; provided that if the Phase II indicates that remediation is required, Buyer shall obtain a cost estimate for this work prior to the commencement of any remediation; and provided further that Seller shall have no obligation to correct or remediate any environmental condition if such correction or remediation of the environmental condition is a landlord’s, lessor’s or other third party’s primary responsibility. Seller shall be responsible, in the aggregate with respect to the Owned Real Property and to the “Owned Real Property” as defined in the PBC APA, for any remediation costs up to $2,000,000 (the “Remediation Amount”). If remedial costs and expenses are estimated to exceed the Remediation Amount, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1(g) hereof upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Seller unless Seller is willing and elects to be responsible for any such costs and expenses in excess of such Remediation Amount; provided, however, that if such costs and expenses are estimated to exceed $10,000,000 (the “Excess Remediation Amount”), Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1(g) hereof upon ten (10) days’ notice to Seller irrespective of whether or not Seller is willing and elects to be responsible for such costs and expenses in excess of such Remediation Amount and Excess Remediation Amount. No environmental remediation shall delay the Closing, and to the extent remediation is required to be performed after the Closing, Seller’s representations and warranties shall be modified at Closing to account for any conditions required to be remediated post-Closing, and the parties shall enter into a post-Closing environmental remediation agreement, negotiated in good faith by the parties, consistent with the provisions of this Section 5.6 to address such post-Closing remediation. Buyer shall repair any damage and indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any Damages arising from the entry by Buyer or its employees, agents or contractors upon the Real Property.

5.7. Employees.

(a) Seller has provided Buyer a list showing employee names, positions and annualized pay rates (including wages, salaries and commission rates) for all employees of Seller engaged directly in the Business (the “Station Employees”), it being understood that any employee of Seller whose principal work location is at the corporate headquarters of Networks (or any of its parent entities) or whose employment responsibilities relate substantially to the corporate operations of any Seller or the business and operations of substantially all of the Stations taken as a whole shall be deemed not a Station Employee for any purpose hereunder. Seller shall update that list no later than thirty (30) days prior to Closing (provided that Buyer provides Seller with reasonable advance written notice of the Closing Date), and shall provide Buyer with such other information in Seller’s possession as Buyer may reasonably request. As of the Closing Date, Buyer shall offer employment effective as of the Closing to each of such

Station Employees; provided, however, that such offers shall be subject to proof evidencing a legal right to work in the United States and, subject to this Section 5.7, shall offer employment on terms substantially comparable in the aggregate to what Seller provided immediately prior to the Closing Date. Assuming acceptance of Buyer’s employment offer by the applicable Station Employee, such employment offer shall supersede any prior agreements and other arrangements with such Station Employee in effect prior to the Closing Date, with the exception of any written employment agreement with any such Station Employee in effect as of the Closing Date (and not entered into or amended in violation of Section 4.1), and Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations under each such written employment agreement. Station Employees whose employment with Seller terminates and who accept such offers of employment by Buyer (or its affiliates) in accordance with this Section 5.7 are referred to collectively herein as the “Transferred Employees”. As of the Closing Date, Seller shall (i) terminate or shall cause the termination of the employment of all Transferred Employees and (ii) except as set forth in this Section 5.7, pay to all Transferred Employees all amounts due to such Transferred Employees relating to or arising out of their employment or termination of employment, including any compensation (including accrued and unpaid wages) due such Transferred Employees, if any, and benefits accrued by the Transferred Employees under the Seller Employee Benefit Plans; provided, however, that, except as set forth on Schedule 5.7(a), Buyer shall be solely liable for any severance payment required to be made to any Transferred Employee in connection with the termination of such Transferred Employee’s employment with Seller or Buyer as contemplated by this Section 5.7. Nothing in this Section 5.7 is intended to or shall require Buyer to continue to employ any Transferred Employee for any period of time following the Closing or to continue to maintain any term or condition of employment or otherwise to treat any such employee on any basis other than as an employee-at-will (subject to the terms of any employment contract or collective bargaining agreement assumed by Buyer).

(b) At the Closing, subject to applicable law, Buyer will assume all liabilities and obligations of Seller with respect to (i) all unused sick time as of the Closing Date for the Transferred Employees that is used by such Transferred Employees after December 31, 2012 (it being understood that all unused sick time as of the Closing Date for the Transferred Employees that is used by such Transferred Employees prior to December 31 of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs shall be a Retained Obligation) and (ii) each of the matters set forth on Schedule 5.7(b); provided, however, that, with respect to the matters set forth on Schedule 5.7(b), the aggregate amount of all such liabilities and obligations shall be credited to Buyer in full for purposes of calculating the Closing Date Adjustments pursuant to Section 1.6. In connection with Seller’s delivery to Buyer of its statement of estimated Closing Date Adjustments pursuant to Section 1.6, Seller shall update Schedule 5.7(b) as necessary to reflect the then-current balances of all such liabilities and obligations.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, from and after the Closing, (i) Sellers shall assume or retain, as the case may be, and be solely responsible for all liabilities arising under, resulting from or relating to the Seller Employee Benefit Plans or Seller’s employment of or termination of its employees, whether incurred before, on or after the Closing Date and (ii) Buyer shall be solely responsible for all liabilities arising under, resulting from or relating to Buyer’s employment or termination of the Transferred Employees.

(d) For purposes of Buyer’s “employee welfare benefit plans” (including health insurance plans) and “employee pension benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(1) and 3(2) of ERISA, respectively), Transferred Employees (and their spouses and dependents) shall be credited with prior service with Seller for purposes of eligibility and waiver of any pre-existing condition exclusions in accordance with Buyer’s insurance contracts. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Buyer shall have no responsibility for any claims incurred under any employee welfare plans of Seller.

(e) Buyer shall also permit each Transferred Employee who participates in Seller’s 401(k) plan to elect to make direct rollovers of their account balances into Buyer’s 401(k) plan as of Closing (or as soon as practicable thereafter when Buyer’s 401(k) plan is capable of accepting such rollovers), including the direct rollover of any outstanding loan balances such that they will continue to make payments under the terms of such loans under Buyer’s 401(k) plan, subject to compliance with applicable law and subject to the reasonable requirements of Buyer’s 401(k) plan. Buyer’s 401(k) plan shall credit Transferred Employees with service credit for eligibility and vesting purposes for service recognized for the equivalent purposes under Seller’s 401(k) plan.

(f) In accordance with Treasury Regulation §54.4980B 9, Q&A 7, Seller shall be and is solely responsible for coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended and the rules and regulations issued thereunder (“COBRA”), for all M&A qualified beneficiaries (determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation §54.4980B-9, Q&A 4). Seller shall take all steps that may be necessary, including arranging for continued group health plan coverage for the COBRA statutory coverage period for each M&A qualified beneficiary, to ensure that such COBRA continuation coverage is available to such individuals and to ensure that the provisions of Treasury Regulation §54.4980B-9, Q&A 8(c) do not become applicable at any time, and to prevent Buyer from becoming, by operation of such regulation section or otherwise, a “successor employer” for purposes of COBRA coverage. Buyer shall be solely responsible for offering and providing any COBRA coverage required with respect to any Transferred Employees (or other qualified beneficiary) who becomes covered by any welfare benefit plans maintained by Buyer. For purposes hereof, each of “qualified beneficiary”, “M&A qualified beneficiaries” and “group health plan” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 4980B of the Code and the related regulations.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.7, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement is not intended to create a contract between Buyer, Seller and or any of their respective affiliates on the one hand and any employee of Seller on the other hand, and no employee of Seller may rely on this Agreement as the basis for any breach of contract claim against Buyer or Seller, (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to require Buyer to continue to employ any particular employee of Seller for any period after Closing, (iii) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to limit Buyer’s right to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee during any period after the Closing Date and (iv) nothing in this Agreement shall establish, modify or amend any Seller Employee Benefit Plan.

5.8. Accounting Services; Access to and Retention of Records. During the first sixty (60) business days after Closing, Buyer shall provide to Seller at no additional cost the

reasonable services of the Stations’ business offices, together with reasonable access to related systems and records, for the purposes of closing the books of the Stations for the period prior to Closing, all substantially in accordance with the procedures and practices applied by Seller’s business offices for periods prior to Closing. From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall preserve, in accordance with Buyer’s normal document retention procedures and practices, all books and records transferred by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and shall provide Seller a reasonable opportunity to access and obtain copies, at Seller’s expense, of any such books and records. In addition to the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall afford to Seller, and its counsel, accountants, and other authorized agents and representatives, at Seller’s expense, during normal business hours, reasonable access to the employees, books, records and other data relating to the Station Assets, the Assumed Obligations, or the Transferred Employees in its possession with respect to the periods prior to Closing, and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, to the extent that such access may be reasonably required by Seller (a) to facilitate the investigation, litigation and final disposition of any claims which may have been or may be made against Seller, (b) for the preparation of Tax Returns and audits and (c) for any other reasonable and proper business purpose, provided in each case that such access does not unreasonably disrupt the business and operations of the Stations or of Buyer.

5.9. Reasonable Efforts. In furtherance (and not in limitation) of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, at all times prior to Closing, Buyer and Seller shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all action necessary or desirable in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as is practicable.

5.10. Title Insurance; Survey.

(a) Title Insurance.

(i) Buyer may elect to procure title insurance policies for the Real Property and obtain a preliminary title report which contains a commitment (the “Title Commitment”) of a title company to issue one or more (as appropriate) owner’s or lessee’s title insurance policy on ALTA Owner’s or Lessee’s Policy (and corresponding mortgagee’s policies) (each, a “Title Policy” and collectively, the “Title Policies”) insuring the fee simple or leasehold interest of Buyer in such parcels of Real Property. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to obtain copies of all documents, filings and information disclosed in the Title Commitment and Title Policy.

(ii) If Buyer has an objection to any exception noted on the Title Commitment or the scope of coverage provided thereunder (other than Permitted Liens as to which Buyer shall have no right to object) and if the failure to cure such objection or defect would cause the Real Property to be unsuitable or unavailable for its current use, Buyer may notify Seller of such objection or defect within twenty (20) days of Buyer’s receipt of the Title Commitment and Survey (as defined below) and Seller shall, prior to the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such objection or defect. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer to obtain a Title Policy for the Real Property and shall provide or assist in the procurement of any and all affidavits or instruments customarily and reasonably required to obtain a Title Policy on each of the properties that comprise the Real

Property. All standard exceptions which can be deleted by the use of owner’s or seller’s affidavits are to be deleted from the Title Commitment and Title Policies, and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in executing and delivering such instruments to the title insurance companies. Additionally, to the extent that the title insurance companies selected by Buyer require delivery of certain title clearance documents, including consents, approvals, estoppels or memorandums of leases in order to insure Buyer’s leasehold interest with respect to the leased Real Property, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any applicable landlord under the leases to allow Buyer to obtain a Title Policy for each of the leased Real Property parcels. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be obligated to make any payment, incur any fees or costs (other than its own attorneys’ fees) or satisfy any precondition to obtain such items.

(iii) The expenses incurred to obtain the Title Commitments and the Title Policies shall be paid by Buyer.

(b) Survey.

(i) Buyer may obtain an as-built survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”) as of a date subsequent to the date hereof which shall (x) be prepared by a registered land surveyor, (y) be certified to the title company, Buyer’s lender and Buyer and (z) show with respect to the Real Property (A) the legal description of such parcel of Real Property, (B) all buildings, structures and improvements thereon and all restrictions of record and other restrictions that have been established by an applicable zoning or building code or ordinance and all easements or rights of way and (C) no encroachments upon such parcel or adjoining parcels by buildings, structures or improvements (unless valid easements or leases have been obtained with respect thereto or unless such encroachments constitute a Permitted Lien). Any restrictions, encroachments (onto the Real Property or from the Real Property onto adjoining property) or other claims that are not Permitted Liens which materially affect the intended use of the Real Property as disclosed on the Survey shall be a “Survey Defect” and if Buyer shall have an objection to such Survey with respect to a Survey Defect and if the failure to cure such defect would cause the Real Property to be unsuitable or unavailable for its current use, Buyer shall notify Seller of such objection within twenty (20) days of Buyer’s receipt of the Survey and the Title Commitment and Seller shall, prior to the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such objection or Survey Defect.

(ii) Prior to obtaining the Surveys on the leased Real Property, Buyer shall obtain the consent of the fee owner of such leased Real Property. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer in obtaining such consent and conducting such surveys, including providing access to Buyer and its representatives as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(iii) The expenses incurred to obtain the Surveys shall be paid by Buyer. All inspections and assessments conducted in connection with the procurement of the Surveys shall be performed in a manner that will not unduly or unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Stations or the use of, access to or egress from the Real Property, and Buyer shall repair any damage and indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any Damages arising from the entry by Buyer or its employees, agents or contractors upon the Real Property.

5.11. Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.

(a) On or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than ten (10) business days after the end of the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, Seller will deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth the outstanding accounts receivable of Seller as of the Effective Time (the “Accounts Receivable”) and the outstanding accounts payable, including unpaid commissions due to Station Employees and national sales representatives of Seller as of the Effective Time arising out of the Business (the “Accounts Payable”).

(b) Subject to the terms and provisions in this Section 5.11, Buyer will collect the Accounts Receivable in the same manner and with the same diligence that Buyer uses to collect its own accounts receivable for a period of ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date (the “Collection Period”). Buyer will not be obligated to, and without the prior written consent of Seller will not, institute litigation, employ any collection agency, legal counsel, or other third party, or take any other extraordinary means of collections or pay any expenses to third parties to collect the Accounts Receivable, and subject to its compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.11, Buyer shall incur no liability whatsoever for any uncollected Accounts Receivable. All amounts collected by Buyer after the Closing from an account debtor will be applied first to the Accounts Receivable of such account debtor in the order of their origination, unless the account debtor disputes such Accounts Receivable or designates payment of a different Accounts Receivable in writing. If during the Collection Period a dispute arises with regard to an account included among the Accounts Receivable, Buyer shall promptly advise Seller thereof and may (or, if requested by Seller, shall) return that account to Seller. Buyer shall not issue any credit or accommodation against any Accounts Receivable without the prior written consent of Seller.

(c) Buyer shall pay within thirty (30) calendar days after the end of the month of receipt of such Accounts Receivable, commissions due to Station Employees and national sales representatives (unless already paid) (the “Net Receivables”) as applicable (any payment to national sales representatives shall be reconciled to actual collections).

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.11, during the Collection Period, Buyer will use the Net Receivables collected to pay the Accounts Payable in a timely manner, provided, however, Buyer has no obligation to use its own funds in excess of the Net Receivables to pay Accounts Payable.

9.2. Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 9.2(b), from and after Closing, Sellers, jointly and severally, shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees and authorized agents (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, taxes, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Damages”) incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, whether or not resulting from third party claims, arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any breach by Seller of its representations and warranties made under this Agreement; or

(ii) any default by Seller of any covenant or agreement made in this Agreement; or

(iii) the Retained Obligations.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, after Closing, (i) Seller shall have no liability to Buyer under Section 9.2(a)(i) unless the Aggregate Damages (as defined below) exceed $1,000,000, at which time the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be held harmless, indemnified against and compensated, reimbursed and paid for the full amount of all Aggregate Damages suffered or incurred in excess of $500,000 and (ii) the maximum liability of Seller under Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be an amount equal to the Indemnity Escrow Fund, it being understood that in the event that the Indemnity

The parties acknowledge and agree that the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 9.2(b) and clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 9.2(b) of the PBC APA are aggregate amounts, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement and the PBC APA and apply to indemnification claims under both this Agreement and the PBC APA and that Section 9.2(b) of the PBC APA shall work in concert with this Section 9.2(b). As used herein, “Aggregate Damages” means the sum of all Damages incurred by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to Section 9.2(a)(i) of this Agreement and by any of the “Buyer Indemnified Parties” (as defined in the PBC APA) with respect to Section 9.2(a)(i) of the PBC APA.

(i) any breach by Buyer of its representations and warranties made under this Agreement; or

(ii) any default by Buyer of any covenant or agreement made in this Agreement; or

(iii) the Assumed Obligations.

(d) The right to indemnification under this Article 9 based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.

9.3. Procedures with Respect to Third Party Claims.

(a) The indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any demand, suit, claim or assertion of liability by third parties that is subject to indemnification hereunder (a “Claim”), but a failure to give such notice or delaying such notice shall not affect the indemnified party’s rights or the indemnifying party’s obligations except to the extent the indemnifying party’s ability to remedy, contest, defend or settle with respect to such Claim is thereby materially prejudiced and provided that, where applicable, such notice is given within the time period described in Section 9.1.

(b) The indemnifying party shall have the right to undertake the defense or opposition to such Claim with counsel selected by it. In the event that the indemnifying party elects not to undertake such defense or opposition or does not undertake such defense or opposition in a timely manner, the indemnified party may undertake the defense, opposition, compromise or settlement of such Claim with counsel selected by it at the indemnifying party’s cost, except that the indemnified party shall not, without the indemnifying party’s written consent, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to entry of any judgment which does not include the giving by the claimant to the indemnifying party of a release from all liability in respect of such Claim.

(i) the indemnified party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense, opposition, compromise or settlement of the Claim;

(ii) the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s written consent, settle or compromise any Claim or consent to entry of any judgment which does not include the giving by the claimant to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such Claim; and

9.4. Indemnity Escrow Fund. Immediately upon the consummation of the Closing, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, the Indemnity Escrow Deposit will be deposited with the Escrow Agent to be held as part of the Indemnity Escrow Fund serving as collateral security for Seller’s obligations under Section 1.6 hereof, Seller’s obligations to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Article 9, PBC Seller’s obligations to indemnify the “Buyer Indemnified Parties” (as defined in the PBC APA) under Article 9 of the PBC APA and for PBC Seller’s obligations under Section 1.6 of the PBC APA. The Indemnity Escrow Fund will be administered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Indemnity Escrow Agreement.

Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that, if the Closing occurs, the indemnification provisions of this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Buyer and Seller for any breach of the representations or warranties or nonperformance of or default under any covenants or agreements of Buyer or Seller contained in this Agreement or any Buyer Ancillary Agreements or Seller Ancillary Agreements, and neither party shall have any liability to the other party under any circumstances for special, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or lost profits, diminution in value or any damages based on any type of multiple of earnings of any indemnified party; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve or limit the liability of any party from any liability or Damages arising out of or resulting from such party’s fraud in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, the Seller Ancillary Agreements or the Buyer Ancillary Agreements.

ARTICLE 10
TERMINATION AND REMEDIES

10.1. Termination. Subject to Section 10.3, this Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing as follows:

(a) by mutual written agreement of Buyer and Seller;

(b) by written notice of Buyer to Seller if Seller or PBC Seller breaches any of its representations or warranties or defaults in the performance of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the PBC APA, as the case may be, and such breach or default is material (as to the Stations, taken as a whole) in the context of the transactions contemplated hereby or under the PBC APA and is not cured within the Cure Period (as defined below) or “Cure Period” (as defined under the PBC APA);

(c) by written notice of Seller to Buyer if Buyer or PBC Buyer breaches any of its representations or warranties or defaults in the performance of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the PBC APA, as the case may be, and such breach or default is material in the context of the transactions contemplated hereby or under the PBC APA and is not cured within the Cure Period or “Cure Period” (as defined under the PBC APA); provided, however, that the Cure Period shall not apply to Buyer’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price at Closing in the circumstances where all of the conditions to Buyer’s obligations to consummate the Closing (other than those under Article 7 to be performed at Closing) have been satisfied or waived;

(d) subject to Schedule 1.8, by written notice of Seller to Buyer or Buyer to Seller if Closing does not occur on or before the nine (9) month anniversary of the date hereof (such date, the “Outside Date”), except if the failure of the Closing to occur is the result of an act or omission by such terminating party who is in breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Outside Date shall be extended as follows: (i) if the FCC Consent has been granted prior to the nine (9) month anniversary of the date hereof, but has not become a Final Order as of such date, the Outside Date shall be deemed to be the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date hereof; and (ii) if, as of the nine (9) month anniversary of the date hereof, there are one or more petitions to deny, petitions for reconsideration or informal objections that have been filed with the FCC and that challenge or request the denial of the FCC Application, reconsideration of the FCC Consent or otherwise seek a condition upon the grant of the FCC Consent, the Outside Date shall be deemed to be the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date hereof; and provided further that, for purposes of this Section 10.1(d), the terms “FCC Application” and “FCC Consent” shall have both the meanings ascribed to such terms in this Agreement and the meanings ascribed to such terms in the PBC APA;

(e) by written notice of Seller to Buyer if “Closing” (as defined in the PBC APA) does not occur on or before the Outside Date, except if the failure of the “Closing” (as defined in the PBC APA) to occur is the result of an act or omission by “Seller” (as defined in the PBC APA) who is in breach of the PBC APA;

(f) by written notice of Buyer to Seller if “Closing” (as defined in the PBC APA) does not occur on or before the Outside Date, except if the failure of the “Closing” (as defined in the PBC APA) to occur is the result of an act or omission by “Buyer” (as defined in the PBC APA) who is in breach of the PBC APA;

(g) as provided in Section 5.4 or Section 5.6; or

(h) by written notice of Seller to Buyer or Buyer to Seller upon the termination of the PBC APA in accordance with its terms, except that this Section 10.1(h) shall not apply if this Agreement could otherwise be terminated by a party pursuant to Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(c) above.

10.2. Cure Period. Each party shall give the other party prompt written notice upon learning of any breach or default by the other party under this Agreement, and such notice shall include a description of the breach. The term “Cure Period” as used herein means a period commencing on the date Buyer or Seller receives from the other written notice of breach or default hereunder and continuing until the earlier of (i) thirty (30) calendar days thereafter or (ii) five (5) business days after the day otherwise scheduled for Closing; provided, however, that if the breach or default is non-monetary and cannot reasonably be cured within such period but can be cured before the date five (5) business days after the scheduled Closing Date, and if diligent efforts to cure promptly commence, then the Cure Period shall continue as long as such diligent efforts to cure continue, but not beyond the date five (5) business days after the scheduled Closing Date.

10.3. Termination and Survival. Neither party may terminate under Section 10.1(b), Section 10.1(c) or Section 10.1(h) if it or PBC Seller or PBC Buyer (as applicable) is then in material breach or default under this Agreement or the PBC APA, as the case may be. Subject to Section 10.4, Section 10.5, Section 10.6 and Section 10.7 below, the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party of any liability for breach or default under this Agreement that occurred prior to the date of termination. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Section 10.3 and Section 5.1 (Confidentiality), Section 10.5 (Liquidated Damages), Section 10.6 (Limitation on Damages), Section 10.7 (Return of Escrow Deposit), Section 10.8 (Further Limitation), Section 11.1 (Expenses), Section 11.6 (Entire Agreement), Section 11.9 (Governing Law), Section 11.10 (Neutral Construction), Section 11.12 (Counterparts; Delivery by Facsimile/Email) and Section 11.13 (Interpretation) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

10.4. Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached and that any non-performance or breach of this Agreement by any party hereto could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone and that the parties hereto would not have any adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which any party hereto may be entitled, at law or in equity (including monetary damages), such party shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, subject to obtaining any required Governmental Consents, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of

this Agreement without posting any bond or other undertaking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the party seeking specific performance shall be entitled to enforce specifically (a) a party’s obligations under Section 1.9; (b) Buyer’s obligation to draw upon and cause the Financing to be funded, if available; and (c) a party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the obligation to consummate the Closing and to pay the Purchase Price, if applicable), if the conditions set forth in Article 6 or 7, as applicable, have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) or waived. The parties hereto agree that they will not contest the appropriateness of specific performance as a remedy.

10.5. Liquidated Damages. If Seller or PBC Seller terminates this Agreement or the PBC APA pursuant to Section 10.1(c) hereof or thereof, in each case as applicable, then the Escrow Deposit Fund shall be paid to Seller (or as directed by Seller and PBC Seller) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and such payment shall constitute liquidated damages. In the event of such a termination, Seller and PBC Seller shall, in addition, be entitled to prompt payment on demand from Buyer or PBC Buyer of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred by them in enforcing their rights under this Agreement and the PBC APA. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the recovery of the Escrow Deposit Fund as set forth herein shall constitute payment of liquidated damages and not a penalty and that such liquidated damages amount is reasonable in light of the substantial but indeterminate harm anticipated to be caused by Buyer’s or PBC Buyer’s material breach or default under this Agreement or the PBC APA, the difficulty of proof of loss and damages, the inconvenience and non-feasibility of otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy, and the value of the transactions to be consummated hereunder. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Deposit Fund covers liquidated damages under both this Agreement and the PBC APA.

10.6. Limitation on Damages. If Buyer or PBC Buyer terminates this Agreement or the PBC APA pursuant to Section 10.1(b) hereof or thereof, then the aggregate amount of losses and damages for which Seller and PBC Seller shall be liable shall not exceed in the aggregate $33,500,000 (the “Damages Cap”). The parties acknowledge and agree that the Damages Cap shall serve as a cap on the aggregate amount of losses and damages for which Seller and PBC Seller shall be liable as a result of a termination of this Agreement or the PBC APA pursuant to Section 10.1(b) hereof or thereof and that this Section 10.6 shall work in concert with Section 10.6 of the PBC APA.

10.7. Return of Escrow Deposit. In all cases other than a termination of this Agreement or the PBC APA pursuant to Section 10.1(c) hereof or thereof which shall result in the payment of the Escrow Deposit Fund to Seller (or as directed by Seller and PBC Seller) in accordance with Section 10.5 hereof, the Escrow Deposit Fund shall be released to Buyer upon a termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

10.8. Further Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the Financing Sources shall have any liability to Sellers or any of their affiliates or any other person (other than Buyer and its permitted assigns in respect of the Financing) relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract or in tort or otherwise, and none of Sellers or any of their affiliates or any other person (other than Buyer and its permitted assigns in respect of the Financing) shall have any

rights or claims against any of the Financing Sources under this Agreement or the Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract or in tort, or otherwise.

11.5. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of compliance with any provision 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 such amendment, waiver, or consent is sought. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 10.8, this Section 11.5, Section 11.8 and Section 11.9(d) (and the related definitions of this Agreement solely to the extent an amendment or modification thereof would serve to modify the substance or provisions of such Sections in any material and adverse respect), to the extent those provisions relate to the Financing Sources or the Commitment Letters, may not be amended, modified, or supplemented in a manner that is materially adverse to the Financing Sources, without the prior

written consent of the Financing Sources, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

11.6. Entire Agreement. The Schedules and Exhibits hereto are hereby incorporated into this Agreement. This Agreement, together with any other agreement executed on the date hereof in connection herewith, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof, except the NDA, which shall remain in full force and effect. No party makes any representation or warranty with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (or in any other agreement or any of the Buyer Ancillary Agreements or Seller Ancillary Agreements executed on the date hereof or thereof in connection herewith).

11.7. Severability. If any court or governmental authority holds any provision in this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable under any applicable law, then, so long as no party is deprived of the benefits of this Agreement in any material respect, this Agreement shall be construed with the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision deleted and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

11.8. No Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to give any rights to any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns (provided that the Financing Sources shall be express third party beneficiaries of the provisions of Section 10.8, Section 11.5, this Section 11.8 and Section 11.9(d) to the extent those provisions relate to the Financing Sources or the Commitment Letters).

11.9. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) The construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the choice of law provisions thereof.

(b) All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and, in the case of appeals, appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Action and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this Section 11.9 shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of New York and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this Section 11.9 and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any third party. The parties hereto agree 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 applicable law.

(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF BUYER OR SELLER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that (i) any claim, suit, action or other proceeding involving the Financing Sources arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Commitment Letters or the performance of any services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, or if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, (ii) it will not, and it will not permit any of its affiliates to, bring or support any third party in bringing any claim, suit, action or other proceeding in any court other than the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, or if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County and (iii) it waives any right to trial by jury in respect of any such claim, suit, action or other proceeding.

11.10. Neutral Construction. Buyer and Seller agree that this Agreement was negotiated at arms-length and that the final terms hereof are the product of the parties’ negotiations. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly and equally drafted by Buyer and Seller, and the provisions hereof should not be construed against a party on the grounds that the party drafted or was more responsible for drafting the provision.

11.11. Cooperation. After Closing, each party shall cooperate with the other in the investigation, defense or prosecution of any third party Action which is pending or threatened against either party or its affiliates with respect to the Stations or the Station Assets, whether or not any party has notified the other of a claim for indemnity with respect to such matter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall make available its Transferred Employees to give depositions or testimony and shall furnish all documentary or other evidence that Seller may reasonably request. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket third party expenses incurred in connection with the performance of Buyer’s obligations under this Section 11.11.

11.12. Counterparts; Delivery by Facsimile/Email. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by facsimile transmission or electronic mail in pdf form, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or email as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

11.13. Interpretation. Article titles and section headings herein are for convenience of reference only and are not intended to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The Schedules hereto shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if set forth verbatim herein. Where the context so requires or permits, the use of the singular form includes the plural, and the use of the plural form includes the singular. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that (a) the terms “Seller” or “Sellers” shall include and mean, as applicable, any and each applicable Seller or Sellers individually and not just Sellers collectively or as a group and (b) the term “Station” or “Stations” shall include and mean, as applicable, any and each applicable Station or Stations individually and not just the Stations collectively or as a group, except where use of the phrase “Stations, taken as a whole” is otherwise used herein. When used in this Agreement, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, (i) words such as “herein,” “hereof,” “hereto,” “hereunder,” and “hereafter” shall refer to this Agreement as a whole, (ii) the term “including” shall not be limiting, (iii) the word “or” shall not be exclusive, (iv) the term “ordinary course” or “ordinary course of business” shall refer to the ordinary manner in which Seller operates the Business consistent with reasonable past practices, (v) the term “knowledge” as used in Article 2 hereof shall mean the actual personal knowledge of Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx or any general manager of a Station, (vi) the term “knowledge” as used in Article 3 hereof shall mean the actual personal knowledge of the chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief legal officer of Buyer, (vii) the terms “Dollars”, “dollars” and “$” each mean lawful money of the United States of America, (viii) the term “Buyer Principal Liaisons” shall mean and include Xxxxxxx X.
