terminate this Agreement under Section 16.1(c) and obtain payment of liquidated
damages under Section 16.3.

all deposits, reserves and prepaid and deferred income and expenses relating to

practicable, shall be made on the Closing Date. As to those prorations and
adjustments not capable of being ascertained on the Closing Date, an adjustment
and proration shall be made within ninety (90) calendar days of the Closing
Date. In the event of any disputes between the parties as to such adjustments,

and such disputes shall be determined by an independent certified public
accountant mutually acceptable to the parties, and the fees and expenses of such
accountant shall be paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Buyer.
3.4. Allocation. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the
Station Assets in a manner as mutually agreed between the parties based upon an
appraisal prepared by Bond & Xxxxxx (whose fees shall be paid one-half by Seller
and one-half by Buyer). Seller and Buyer agree to use the allocations determined
pursuant to this Section 3.4 for all tax purposes, including without limitation,
those matters subject to Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
ARTICLE 4: CLOSING

Assets (the "Closing") shall occur on a date (the "Closing Date") and at a time
and place designated solely by Seller after FCC Consent (defined below), and not

and orders;
(b) not, other than in the ordinary course of business in
accordance with past practice, sell, lease or dispose of or agree to sell, lease
or dispose of any of the Station Assets,
-10-
11
or create, assume or permit to exist any Liens upon the Station Assets, except
for Permitted Liens;
(c) furnish Buyer with such information relating to the
Station Assets as Buyer may reasonably request, at Buyer's expense and provided
such request does not interfere unreasonably with the business of the Stations;
(d) after Seller publicly announces the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement and files this Agreement with the FCC, then, when
reasonably requested by Buyer, provide Buyer access to the Station facilities
that are included in the Station Assets during the Stations' normal business
hours, provided such access does not interfere unreasonably with the business of
the Stations;
(e) not, other than in the ordinary course of business in
accordance with past practice, make material changes to the compensation or
employment agreements of any employee of the Stations other than those to be
retained by Seller after Closing; and
(f) make available to Buyer, and authorize its accountants to
cooperate and make available to Buyer, at Buyer's expense and reasonable request

a basis not consolidated with other stations.
ARTICLE 10: JOINT COVENANTS
Buyer and Seller hereby covenant and agree that between the date hereof
and Closing:
10.1. Cooperation. Subject to express limitations contained elsewhere
herein, each party (i) shall cooperate fully with one another in taking any
reasonable actions (including without limitation, reasonable actions to obtain
the required consent of any governmental instrumentality or any third party)
necessary or helpful to accomplish the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including but not limited to the prompt satisfaction of any condition
to Closing set forth herein, and (ii) shall not take any action that conflicts
with its obligations hereunder or that causes its representations and warranties
to become untrue in any material respect.
10.2. Control of Stations. Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly,
control, supervise or direct the operations of the Stations prior to Closing.
Such operations, including complete control and supervision of all Station
programs, employees and policies, shall be the sole responsibility of Seller.
10.3. Consents to Assignment. The parties shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain any third party consents necessary for the
assignment of any Station Contract (which shall not require any payment to any
such third party). To the extent that any Station Contract 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 hereto shall not
-11-
12
constitute an assignment thereof, but to the extent permitted by law shall
constitute an equitable assignment by Seller and assumption by Buyer of Seller's
rights and obligations under the applicable Station Contract, with Seller making
available to Buyer the benefits thereof and Buyer performing the obligations
thereunder on Seller's behalf.
10.4. Employee Matters.
(a) Prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a list of
employees of the Stations that Seller does not intend to retain after Closing.
Buyer may interview and elect to hire such listed employees, but not any other
employees of Seller. Buyer is obligated to hire only those employees that are
under employment contracts (and assume Seller's obligations and liabilities
under such employment contracts) which are included in the Station Contracts and
are listed on Schedule 1.1(c). With respect to employees hired by Buyer
("Transferred Employees"), to the extent permitted by law, Seller shall provide
Buyer access to its personnel records and such other information as Buyer may
reasonably request prior to Closing. With respect to such hired employees,
Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all compensation and accrued
employee benefits payable by it until Closing and thereafter Buyer shall be
responsible for all such obligations payable by it. Buyer shall cause all
employees it hires to be eligible to participate in its "employee welfare
benefit plans" and "employee pension benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(1)
and 3(2) of ERISA, respectively) in which similarly situated employees are
generally eligible to participate; provided, however, that all such employees
and their spouses and dependents shall be eligible for coverage immediately
after Closing (and shall not be excluded from coverage on account of any
pre-existing condition) to the extent provided under such plans. For purposes of
any length of service requirements, waiting periods, vesting periods or
differential benefits based on length of service in any such plan for which such
employees may be eligible after Closing, Buyer shall ensure that service with
Seller shall be deemed to have been service with the Buyer. In addition, Buyer
shall ensure that each such employee receives credit under any welfare benefit
plan of Buyer for any deductibles or co-payments paid by such employees and
dependents for the current plan year under a plan maintained by Seller.
Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, Buyer shall grant credit
to each such employee for all unused sick leave accrued as of Closing as an
employee of Seller. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, Buyer
shall assume and discharge Seller's liabilities for the payment of all unused
vacation leave accrued by such employees as of Closing.
(b) At such time as the Seller can represent to the Buyer as
to the tax-qualified status of the 401(k) savings plan(s) in which Transferred
Employees retain account balances with the Seller or its subsidiaries (the
"Saving Plan(s)") and furnish to Buyer a favorable Internal Revenue Service
determination letter as to the tax-qualified status of such Savings Plan(s)
under Section 401(a) of the Code (or an opinion of counsel that the form of the
Savings Plan(s) is so qualified), Buyer and Seller shall enter into a 401(k)
plan asset transfer agreement pursuant to which Buyer shall establish a defined
contribution plan (or cover Transferred Employees under an existing defined
contribution plan sponsored by Buyer) for the benefit of Transferred Employees
who were participants in the Savings Plan(s). Such Transferred Employees are
referred to hereinafter as the "Savings Plan Employees."
-12-
13
(c) Following execution of the agreement contemplated in
clause (b) above, Seller shall cause to be transferred from the Savings Plan(s)
to the plan covering the Savings Plan Employees (the "Transferee Savings Plan")
the liability for the account balances of the Savings Plan Employees (including
outstanding loan balances of Savings Plan Employees), together with cash, cash
equivalents or other mutually acceptable property, the value of which on such
transfer date is equal to such liability, and Buyer shall cause the Transferee
Savings Plan to accept such transfer, all in accordance with the rules and
regulations under Section 414(l) of the Code.
(d) Pending completion of the transfers described in this
Section, Seller and Buyer shall make arrangements for any distributions, if any,
to the Savings Plan Employees from the Savings Plan(s). Seller and Buyer shall
provide each other with access to information reasonably necessary in order to
carry out the provisions of this paragraph. In addition, until the asset
transfer is effectuated, Buyer shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of
Seller to continue to withhold from the pay checks of Transferred Employees' who
have outstanding loan balances in the Savings Plan(s) and Buyer shall remit such
withheld amounts to the Seller in a timely fashion such that the outstanding
loans do not go into default.
10.5. 1031 Exchange. At or prior to Closing, Seller may assign its
rights under this Agreement (in whole or in part) to a qualified intermediary
(as defined in Treasury regulation section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)) or similar entity
or arrangement ("Qualified Intermediary"). Upon any such assignment, Seller
shall promptly give written notice thereof to Buyer, and Buyer shall cooperate
with the reasonable requests of Seller and any Qualified Intermediary in
connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
Seller gives notice of such assignment, Buyer shall (i) promptly provide Seller
with written acknowledgment of such notice and (ii) at Closing, pay the Purchase
Price (or any portion thereof designated by the Qualified Intermediary) to or on
behalf of the Qualified Intermediary (which payment shall, to the extent
thereof, satisfy the obligations of Buyer to make such payment hereunder).
Seller's assignment to a Qualified Intermediary will not relieve Seller of any
of its duties or obligations herein. Except for the obligations of Buyer set
forth in this Section, Buyer shall not have any liability or obligation to
Seller for the failure of the contemplated exchange to qualify as a like-kind
exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code unless such failure is
the result of the material breach or default by Buyer under this Agreement.
10.6. Trust. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, Seller may at it option assign this Agreement (in whole or part) and
assign and transfer the Station Assets (in whole or in part) to a trustee to
hold and operate pursuant to a trust agreement, provided such trustee assumes
Seller's duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the Station Assets
held in such trust, and Seller shall not thereby be relieved of its obligations
hereunder.

ARTICLE 15: SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION.
15.1. Survival. The covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties in this Agreement shall survive Closing for a period of six (6)
months from the Closing Date whereupon they shall expire and be of no further
force or effect, except those under (i) this Article 15 that relate to Damages
(defined below) for which written notice is given by the indemnified party to
the indemnifying party prior to the expiration, which shall survive until
resolved and (ii) the following provisions (the "Expense Provisions"): Sections
2.1 (Assumed Obligations), 3.3 (Adjustments), 3.4 (Allocation), 8.1 (Accounts
Receivable) and 13.1 (Expenses), and indemnification obligations with respect to
such provisions, which shall survive until performed.

and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all losses, costs, damages,
liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
("Damages") incurred by Buyer arising out of or resulting from: (i) any breach
or default by Seller under this Agreement; (ii) the Retained Obligations; or
(iii) the business or operation of the Stations before Closing;
-15-
16
provided, however, that after Closing, except for the Expense Provisions (which
shall not be subject to such limitations), (i) Seller shall have no liability to
Buyer hereunder until, and only to the extent that, Buyer's aggregate Damages
exceed $500,000 and (ii) the maximum liability of Seller hereunder shall be
$1,000,000.
(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall defend, indemnify
and hold harmless Seller from and against any and all Damages incurred by Seller
arising out of or resulting from: (i) any breach or default by Buyer under this
Agreement; (ii) the Assumed Obligations; or (iii) the business or operation of

the Expense Provisions (which shall not be subject to such limitations), (i)
Buyer shall have no liability to Seller hereunder until, and only to the extent
that, Seller's aggregate Damages exceed $500,000 and (ii) the maximum liability
of Buyer hereunder shall be $1,000,000.
15.3. Procedures. The indemnified party shall give prompt written
notice to the indemnifying party of any demand, suit, claim or assertion of
liability by third parties or other circumstances that could give rise to an
indemnification obligation hereunder against the indemnifying party (a "Claim"),
but a failure to give such notice or delaying such notice shall not affect the
indemnified party's right to indemnification and the indemnifying party's
obligation to indemnify as set forth in this Agreement, except to the extent the
indemnifying party's ability to remedy, contest, defend or settle with respect
to such Claim is thereby prejudiced. The obligations and liabilities of the
parties with respect to any Claim shall be subject to the following additional
terms and conditions:
(a) The indemnifying party shall have the right to undertake,
by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing, the defense or
opposition to such Claim.
(b) In the event that the indemnifying party shall elect not
to undertake such defense or opposition, or, within twenty (20) days after
written notice (which shall include sufficient description of background
information explaining the basis for such Claim) of any such Claim from the
indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall fail to undertake to defend or
oppose, the indemnified party (upon further written notice to the indemnifying
party) shall have the right to undertake the defense, opposition, compromise or
settlement of such Claim, by counsel or other representatives of its own
choosing, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the indemnifying party
(subject to the right of the indemnifying party to assume defense of or
opposition to such Claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final
determination thereof).
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding: (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 as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect of such Claim; and (iii) in the event that the indemnifying
party undertakes defense of or
-16-
17
opposition to any Claim, the indemnified party, by counsel or other
representative of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense, shall have
the right to consult with the indemnifying party and its counsel or other
representatives concerning such Claim and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party and their respective counsel or other representatives shall
cooperate in good faith with respect to such Claim.
(d) All claims not disputed shall be paid by the indemnifying
party within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of the Claim. "Disputed
Claims" shall mean claims for Damages by an indemnified party which the
indemnifying party objects to in writing within thirty (30) days after receiving
notice of the Claim. In the event there is a Disputed Claim with respect to any
Damages, the indemnifying party shall be required to pay the indemnified party
the amount of such Damages for which the indemnifying party has, pursuant to a
final determination, been found liable within ten (10) days after there is a
final determination with respect to such Disputed Claim. A final determination
of a Disputed Claim shall be (i) a judgment of any court determining the
validity of a Disputed Claim, if no appeal is pending from such judgment and if
the time to appeal therefrom has elapsed; (ii) an award of any arbitration
determining the validity of such disputed claim, if there is not pending any
motion to set aside such award and if the time within which to move to set aside
such award has elapsed; (iii) a written termination of the dispute with respect
to such claim signed by the parties thereto or their attorneys; (iv) a written
acknowledgment of the indemnifying party that it no longer disputes the validity
of such claim; or (v) such other evidence of final determination of a disputed
claim as shall be acceptable to the parties. No undertaking of defense or
opposition to a Claim shall be construed as an acknowledgment by such party that
it is liable to the party claiming indemnification with respect to the Claim at
issue or other similar Claims.
ARTICLE 16: TERMINATION
16.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior
to Closing as follows:
(a) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;
(b) by written notice of Buyer to Seller if Seller (i) does
not satisfy the conditions or perform the obligations to be satisfied or
performed by it on the Closing Date; or (ii) otherwise breaches in any material
respect any of its representations or warranties or defaults in any material
respect in the performance of any of its covenants or agreements herein
contained and such breach or default is not cured within the Cure Period
(defined below);
(c) by written notice of Seller to Buyer if Buyer (i) does not
satisfy the conditions or perform the obligations to be satisfied or performed
by it on the Closing Date; or (ii) otherwise breaches in any material respect
any of its representations or warranties or defaults in any material respect in
the performance of any of its covenants or agreements herein contained and such
breach or default is not cured within the Cure Period (defined below);
-17-
18
(d) by written notice of Buyer to Seller, or by Seller to
Buyer, if the FCC denies the FCC Application;
(e) by written notice of Seller to Buyer if the Closing shall
not have been consummated on or before the date four months after the date of
this Agreement; or
(f) by written notice of Seller to Buyer if the AMFM Agreement
is terminated or expires.
The term "Cure Period" as used herein means a period commencing 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) days thereafter or
(ii) the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the breach or default cannot
reasonably be cured within such period but can be cured before the 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
Closing Date. Except as set forth below, the termination of this Agreement shall
not relieve any party of any liability for breach or default under this
Agreement prior to the date of termination. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, Section 13.1 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
16.2. Remedies. The parties recognize that if either party refuses to
consummate the Closing pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or either
party otherwise breaches or defaults such that the Closing has not occurred
("Breaching Party"), monetary damages alone will not be adequate to compensate
the non-breaching party ("Non-Breaching Party") for its injury. Such
Non-Breaching Party shall therefore be entitled to obtain specific performance
of the terms of this Agreement in lieu of, and not in addition to, any other
remedies, including but not limited to monetary damages, that may be available
to it; provided however, that Seller may elect to recover liquidated damages in
lieu of obtaining specific performance. If any action is brought by the
Non-Breaching Party to enforce this Agreement, the Breaching Party shall waive
the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. In the event of a default
by the Breaching Party which results in the filing of a lawsuit for damages,
specific performance, or other remedy, the Non-Breaching Party shall be entitled
to reimbursement by the Breaching Party of reasonable legal fees and expenses
incurred by the Non-Breaching Party, provided that the Non-Breaching Party is
successful in such lawsuit.
16.3. Liquidated Damages. If Seller terminates this Agreement due to
Buyer's failure to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date or if this
Agreement is otherwise terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 16.1(c), then
Buyer shall pay Seller as liquidated damages an amount equal to 25% of the
Purchase Price. It is understood and agreed that such liquidated damages amount
represents Buyer's and Seller's reasonable estimate of actual damages and does
not constitute a penalty. The Liquidated Damages Agreement dated February 29,
2000 made by Buyer in connection with the APA shall remain in full force and
effect; provided, however, that the term "Purchase Agreement" as used therein
shall mean this Agreement rather than the APA.
-18-
19
ARTICLE 17: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
17.1. Casualty Loss. In the event any loss or damage of the Station
Assets exists on the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall consummate the Closing
and Seller shall assign to Buyer the proceeds of any insurance payable to Seller
on account of such damage or loss.
17.2. Further Assurances. After the Closing, Seller shall from time to
time, at the request of and without further cost or expense to Buyer, execute
and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such
other actions as may reasonably be requested in order to more effectively
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby to vest in Buyer good title to
the StationAssets, and Buyer shall from time to time, at the request of and
without further cost or expense to Seller, execute and deliver such other
instruments and take such other actions as may reasonably be requested in order
more effectively to relieve Seller of any obligations being assumed by Buyer
hereunder.
17.3. Assignment. Except as set forth in Sections 10.5 (1031 Exchange)
and 10.6 (Trust), neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the other party hereto. With respect to any permitted
assignment, the parties shall take all such actions as are reasonably necessary
to effectuate such assignment, including but not limited to cooperating in any
appropriate filings with the FCC or other governmental authorities. All
covenants, agreements, statements, representations, warranties and indemnities
in this Agreement by and on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and
inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns of the
parties hereto.
17.4. Amendments. No amendment, waiver of compliance with any provision
or condition hereof or consent pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective
unless evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any waiver, amendment, change, extension or discharge is sought.
17.5. Headings. The headings set forth in this Agreement are for
convenience only and will not control or affect the meaning or construction of
the provisions of this Agreement.
17.6. Governing Law. The construction and performance of this Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to the
choice of law provisions thereof.
17.7. Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to
be given under the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing, including
by facsimile, and shall be deemed to have been received on the date of personal
delivery, on the third day after deposit in the U.S. mail if mailed by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, on
