PURCHASE; INVESTMENT CLOSING
PURCHASE; INVESTMENT CLOSING
2.1 Purchase.
(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Investment Closing,
Parent shall issue and sell (1) to the Crestview Investor, a number of shares of Parent Class A
Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Investment Amount of the Crestview
Investor (as each Investor’s Investment Amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.1(b) (such
amount, the “Actual Investment Amount”)) by (B) Four Dollars Thirty-Four Cents ($4.34) (the
“Price Per Share”), (2) subject to the limitations contained in the Communications Act and
FCC Regulations as to ownership and voting of securities of an entity regulated by the FCC, to the
UBS Investor, Class B Warrants initially exercisable for a number of shares of Parent Class B
Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Investment Amount of the UBS
Investor (as such amount shall be reduced in the case of, and to the extent of, any sell-downs by
the UBS Investor pursuant to Section 5.16) by (B) the Price Per Share, and (3) subject to the
limitations contained in the Communications Act and FCC Regulations as to ownership and voting of
securities of an entity regulated by the FCC, to the Macquarie Investor, Class B Warrants initially
exercisable for a number of shares of Parent Class B Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (A) the Macquarie Investor’s Actual Investment Amount (as such amount shall be reduced in
the case of, and to the extent of, any sell-downs by the Macquarie Investor pursuant to Section
5.15) by (B) the Price Per Share; provided, that the Macquarie Investor may, in lieu thereof, elect
in its discretion to receive shares of Parent Straight Preferred having an aggregate initial
liquidation value equal to the Macquarie Investor’s Actual Investment Amount. Such election (which
may be made in whole or in part) shall be made by the Macquarie Investor by irrevocable written
notice to Parent and the Crestview Investor not less than eight (8) Business Days prior to the
Investment Closing. The terms of the Parent Straight Preferred shall be set forth in a certificate
of designations relating to the Parent Straight Preferred upon the terms set forth on Exhibit
E (the “Straight Preferred Certificate of Designations”).
(b) If, as of the Election Deadline, the aggregate number of Company Shares and Company
Warrants that the holders thereof elect to have converted
5
at the Effective Time into Parent Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement exceeds the
aggregate number of Company Shares and Company Warrants that would be converted at the Effective
Time into Parent Shares in the “Max Cash” scenario in which the aggregate Cash Consideration is
equal to the Cash Consideration Cap, the Investment Amount of the Crestview Investor and the Cadet
Portion of the Investment Amount of the Macquarie Investor shall be automatically reduced by an
aggregate amount equal to the product of (1) such excess aggregate number of Company Shares and
Company Warrants and (2) $37.00. Such reduction shall be applied to the Investment Amounts of the
Crestview Investor and the Macquarie Investor as follows: (A) first (but only as to the first
$50,000,000 of such reduction), to the Investment Amount of the Crestview Investor, on the one
hand, and the Cadet Portion of the Investment Amount of the Macquarie Investor, on the other,
50/50, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and (B) second (as to amounts in excess of $50,000,000), to
the Cadet Portion of the Investment Amount of the Macquarie Investor, but not less than zero.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) the minimum Investment Amount of
the Crestview Investor will be $225,000,000 and, even if the Investment Amount of the Crestview
Investor would not be reduced by operation of the preceding sentence by virtue of Company
shareholder elections, Parent may reduce the Investment Amount of the Crestview Investor to
$225,000,000 upon written notice to the Crestview Investor not later than the earlier of (x) 20
Business Days prior to the Investment Closing and (y) 5 Business Days after the Election Deadline;
(ii) Parent will have the right to terminate the Cadet Portion of the Macquarie Investor’s
Investment Amount, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Investment Closing upon written
notice to the Macquarie Investor, provided any such termination, once made, is irrevocable; (iii)
in the event that Parent either sells more equity or Holdco borrows more money under the Debt
Financing than is reflected in the “Max Cash” scenario of the Sources and Uses in the form provided
by Parent to the Investors contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, with the result
that Parent does not, as determined by Parent in its sole and absolute discretion, require the full
Investment Amount of the Macquarie Investor to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement, then Parent shall notify the Macquarie Investor not later than eight (8) Business
Days prior to the Investment Closing of the amount of the Macquarie Investor’s Investment Amount
that is as a result thereof not required and the Macquarie Investor may elect to reduce its
Investment Amount in its sole discretion to the extent not so needed by Parent, by written notice
to Parent not more than six (6) Business Days after such notice from Parent, provided that once
made, such reduction is irrevocable; and (iv) Parent may, by written notice, request that the
Syndication Portion of the Macquarie Investor’s Investment Amount be reduced, in whole or in part,
at any time prior to the Investment Closing; provided any such reduction shall be made at the
Macquarie Investor’s sole discretion and, once made, such reduction is irrevocable. Parent shall
promptly provide to the Investors information that it receives regarding the election by Company
shareholders of the consideration to be received under the Merger Agreement.
2.2 Crestview Investor Warrants. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein, at the Investment Closing, Parent shall issue to the Crestview Investor for no additional
consideration, and the Crestview Investor shall receive from Parent, Class A Warrants to purchase
Seven Million Seven Hundred Seventy-Six
6
Thousand Four Hundred Ninety Eight (7,776,498) shares of Parent Class A Common Stock at an
exercise price of Four Dollars Thirty-Four Cents ($4.34) per share.
2.3 Investment Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set
forth in this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by
actions taken at the Investment Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those
conditions), the closing of the issuance and sale of the Issued Securities to the Investors
pursuant hereto (the “Investment Closing”) shall occur concurrently with and at the same
location as the Closing under the Merger Agreement. The date the Investment Closing occurs is
referred to as the “Investment Closing Date.”
2.4 Parent Deliveries. At the Investment Closing, Parent shall deliver, or cause to
be delivered:

Dollars Thirty-Four Cents ($4.34) per share, the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock

2.6 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Investor under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of the other
Investors, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
of any other Investor under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any
Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
Investment Transactions. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its
rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any
other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

3.1 Representations and Warranties of Parent. Parent hereby represents and warrants
to each Investor as follows:
(a) Valid Issuance. The Issued Securities to be issued pursuant to this Agreement

Securities will be fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights, with no personal
liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and will be free and clear of all Liens.
(b) Corporate Existence; Authority; No Violation.

organization. Parent has the corporate power and authority to own or lease all of its properties
and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted.
(2) Parent has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
consummate the Investment Transactions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
consummation of the Investment Transactions (other than approval of the New Incentive Plan) have
been duly and validly approved by the Parent Board. The Parent Board has determined that this
Agreement, the Investment Transactions and the Parent Charter Amendment are advisable to and are in
the best interests of Parent and its stockholders and, except for such consents and approvals of
Parent’s stockholders as have been obtained prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of
this Agreement and provided to each Investor, no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent
are necessary to approve this Agreement and to consummate the Investment Transactions (other than
approval of the New Incentive Plan). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by Parent and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Investors)
constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Parent.

the Investment Transactions, nor compliance by Parent with any of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement, will violate any provision of the Parent Charter or the Parent Bylaws.
(c) Parent Reports. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent, (1)

4.4 Access to Information.
(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of
information, Parent will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to each Investor and

available to the other party (1) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other
document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or
state securities Laws (other than reports or documents that such party is not permitted to disclose
under applicable Law) and (2) all other information concerning its business, properties and
personnel as the other may reasonably request. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries will be
required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would
jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of Parent or its Subsidiaries or contravene any Law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the
date of this Agreement. The Parties will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under
circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. In addition to the
foregoing, from the period beginning immediately after the receipt of Investment HSR Clearance

Investor and its authorized Representatives full and free access, during regular business
14
hours, to Parent’s personnel and allow such Investor to hold meetings with such personnel; (B)

and any other reports reasonably requested by such Investor.

Affiliates and Representatives to, treat all materials and information provided pursuant to this
Agreement as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this
Section 4.4(b) shall not apply to the extent that any Person otherwise restricted hereunder can
demonstrate that the applicable information (1) was acquired on a non-confidential basis by such
Person, (2) is in the public domain through no fault of such Person or any of its Affiliates or
Representatives or (3) is required to be disclosed by applicable Law (whether by deposition,
interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process)
after providing prompt written notice of such request to the extent practical and permitted so that
the other Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy.
(c) No investigation by any Party or its Representatives will affect the representations and
warranties of any Party set forth in this Agreement.
4.5 Advice of Changes. Parent and each Investor will promptly advise the other
Parties of any change or event (a) having, or that would be reasonably likely to have, individually
or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Parent or materially adversely affect such
Investor’s ability to consummate the Investment Transactions, as the case may be or (b) that it
believes would, or would be reasonably likely to, cause or constitute a material breach of any of
its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, except that (1) no such
notification will affect the representations, warranties or covenants of the Parties (or remedies
with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement and
(2) a failure to comply with this Section 4.5 will not constitute the failure of any condition set
forth in Article VI to be satisfied unless the underlying effect or material breach would
independently result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article VI to be satisfied.

beneficiary thereof, subject to the limitations set forth in such Debt Commitment Letter, and that
the Debt Commitment Letter provides that the Financing Documentation (as defined in the Debt
Commitment Letter) shall contain equivalent provisions upon execution thereof in respect of periods

such Investor.

to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the
Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letters and will not

the Debt Commitment Letters and, to the extent definitive agreements with respect to the Debt

negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letters on terms
and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letters or consistent in all material respects with
the Debt Commitment Letters as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement. In the

respect to any Debt Commitment Letter and (3) cooperate with the Investors with respect to
additions, deletions or changes suggested by the Investors in connection therewith.

Investor to the extent (and only to the extent) that such rights or obligations involve actions to
be taken directly in respect of any Affiliate of the Macquarie Investor that is party to a Debt
Commitment Letter, acting in its capacity as a lender. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section
5.9(d) shall not apply to any actions to be taken directly in respect of the lead arranger,
administrative agent or any other lender under the Debt Financing that is not an Affiliate of the
Macquarie Investor.
(e) The rights and obligations contained in Section 5.9(c)(3) shall not apply to the UBS

the consent of any Investor, extend the End Date to a date that is not later than fifteen (15)
months after the Cadet Signing Date; and, provided further, that if any Investor
is a Withdrawing Investor pursuant to Section 5.11, then any action described in (a) through (e)
above shall require only the approval of the Continuing Investors. In the event that the Merger
Closing Conditions are satisfied or, with consent of each Investor (or the Continuing Investor(s),
as the case may be), validly waived, any Investors that have funded their respective Investment
Amounts or are willing to fund their respective Investment Amounts (each, a “Funding
Investor”) may, with the consent of Parent, terminate the participation in the transaction of
any such other Investor (the “Failing Investor”) if the Failing Investor does not fund its
Investment Amount or asserts in writing its unwillingness to fund its Investment Amount;
provided that such termination shall not affect Parent’s or the Funding Investors’ rights
against such Failing Investor with respect to such failure to fund, including those set forth in
Sections 5.12 and 5.13. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Continuing Investors may replace the Failing Investor’s Investment Amount with the consent of
Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). If an Investor becomes a Failing Investor,
such Failing Investor shall no longer be entitled to any approval or consent rights under this
Agreement.
5.11 Withdrawing Investor. If there is a right of an Investor to terminate this
Agreement with respect to itself, or a right of Parent to terminate the Merger Agreement, pursuant
to the terms hereof or thereof, and if such Investor desires to terminate this Agreement with
respect to itself, or an Investor desires that Parent terminate the Merger Agreement, as a result
thereof, such Investor (the “Withdrawing Investor”) shall notify Parent and the other
Investors of such desire. If Parent and the other Investors (each a “Continuing Investor”)
desire to consummate the Investment Transactions without any involvement by the Withdrawing
Investor, then Parent, the Continuing Investors and the Withdrawing Investor shall cooperate in
such reasonable arrangements to permit Parent and the Continuing Investors to proceed with the
Investment Transactions and to terminate any liability or obligation of the Withdrawing Investor
under this Agreement (other than with respect to any breach by the Withdrawing
18
Investor of, as applicable, this Agreement, the Crestview Equity Commitment Letter (solely
with respect to the Crestview Investor) and its Sponsor Guarantee prior to the date of the
completion of such arrangements).
5.12 Contribution With Respect to Sponsor Guarantees. In the event that the Merger
Agreement is terminated, Parent and each of the Investors shall cooperate in defending any claim
that Parent and the Investors are or any one of them is liable to pay the Parent Termination Fee
(or any portion thereof) and/or any amounts pursuant to Section 6.13(d) of the Merger Agreement
(such amounts, the “6.13(d) Expenses”). Subject to Section 5.13 (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, the Investor Liability Cap), in the event that the Merger Agreement is
terminated and any of Parent, the Crestview Investor or the Macquarie Investor has paid the Parent
Termination Fee (or any portion thereof) and/or any 6.13(d) Expenses in excess of such Party’s pro
rata share thereof (based on such Party’s Investment Percentage), each of Parent, the Crestview
Investor and the Macquarie Investor hereby covenants and agrees to contribute to the amount paid by
the other in respect of the Parent Termination Fee and/or the 6.13(d) Expenses so that each of
Parent, the Crestview Investor and the Macquarie Investor will have paid an amount equal to such
Party’s pro rata share thereof (based on such Party’s Investment Percentage).
5.13 Cross Indemnification.
(a) In the event that (1) the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Parent Termination Fee
and/or the 6.13(d) Expenses are payable to the Company thereunder and (2) the Crestview Investor’s
breach of its obligations hereunder or under the Crestview Equity Commitment Letter caused the
termination giving rise to such obligation to pay the Parent Termination Fee and/or the 6.13(d)
Expenses, then the Crestview Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Parent and the
Macquarie Investor from and against their respective pro rata shares (based on such Parties’
respective Investment Percentages) of the Parent Termination Fee and/or the 6.13(d) Expenses (the
“Crestview Indemnifiable Losses”). For purposes of this Section 5.13(a), the Crestview
Investor shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations hereunder or under the Crestview
Equity Commitment Letter if (A) the conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied and (B)
the Crestview Investor certifies in writing to Parent and the Macquarie Investor that it is
prepared and willing to contribute or cause to be contributed its Investment Amount but the
Crestview Investor has not contributed or caused to be contributed its Investment Amount because
the Macquarie Investor or the UBS Investor has refused to contribute or cause to be contributed its
Investment Amount in breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
no event shall the liability of the Crestview Investor under this Section 5.13(a) exceed the sum of
the pro rata shares (based on Investment Percentages) of the Parent and the Macquarie Investor of
the Parent Termination Fee and Section 6.13(d) Expenses.
(b) In the event that (1) the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Parent Termination Fee
and/or the 6.13(d) Expenses are payable to the Company thereunder and (2) the Macquarie Investor’s
breach of its obligations hereunder caused the termination giving rise to such obligation to pay
the Parent Termination Fee and/or
19
the 6.13(d) Expenses, then the Macquarie Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless each of
Parent and the Crestview Investor from and against Parent’s and the Crestview Investor’s respective
pro rata shares (based on such Parties’ respective Investment Percentages) of the Parent
Termination Fee and/or the 6.13(d) Expenses (the “Macquarie Indemnifiable Losses”). For
purposes of this Section 5.13(b), the Macquarie Investor shall not be deemed to be in breach of its
obligations hereunder if (A) the conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied and (B) the
Macquarie Investor certifies in writing to Parent and the Crestview Investor that it is prepared
and willing to contribute or cause to be contributed its Investment Amount but the Macquarie
Investor has not contributed or caused to be contributed its Investment Amount because the
Crestview Investor or the UBS Investor has refused to contribute or cause to be contributed its
Investment Amount in breach of this Agreement or the Crestview Equity Commitment Letter.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the liability of the Macquarie
Investor under this Section 5.13(b) exceed the sum of the pro rata shares (based on Investment
Percentages) of the Parent and the Crestview Investor of the Parent Termination Fee and Section
6.13(d) Expenses.
(c) In the event that (1) the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Parent Termination Fee
and/or the 6.13(d) Expenses are payable to the Company thereunder and (2) the UBS Investor’s breach
of its obligations hereunder caused the termination giving rise to such obligation to pay the
Parent Termination Fee and/or the 6.13(d) Expenses, then the UBS Investor shall indemnify and hold
harmless each of Parent, the Crestview Investor and the Macquarie Investor from and against their
respective pro rata shares (based on such Parties’ respective Investment Percentages) of the Parent
Termination Fee and/or the 6.13(d) Expenses (the “UBS Indemnifiable Losses”). For purposes
of this Section 5.13(c), the UBS Investor shall not be deemed to be in breach of its obligations
hereunder if (A) the conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied and (B) the UBS
Investor certifies in writing to Parent, the Crestview Investor and the Macquarie Investor that it
is prepared and willing to contribute or cause to be contributed its Investment Amount but the UBS
Investor has not contributed or caused to be contributed its Investment Amount because the
Crestview Investor or the Macquarie Investor has refused to contribute or cause to be contributed
its Investment Amount in breach of this Agreement or the Crestview Equity Commitment Letter.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the liability of the UBS
Investor under this Section 5.13(c) exceed the sum of the pro rata shares (based on Investment
Percentages) of the Parent, the Crestview Investor and the Macquarie Investor of the Parent
Termination Fee and Section 6.13(d) Expenses.
(d) In the event that (1) the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Parent Termination Fee
and/or the 6.13(d) Expenses are payable to the Company thereunder and (2) the termination giving
rise to such obligation to pay the Parent Termination Fee and/or the 6.13(d) Expenses was not
caused by (A) the breach of any Investor hereunder or under the Crestview Equity Commitment Letter
(solely with respect to the Crestview Investor) or (B) the failure of any lender to provide the
Debt Financing to Holdco at the Closing in breach of the Debt Commitment Letters or, to the extent
definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letters have been
20
entered into, such agreements, then Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor
from and against the Parent Termination Fee and/or the 6.13(d) Expenses.
(e) Parent agrees that if the Transactions are not consummated due to the failure of any
lender to provide the Debt Financing to Holdco at the Closing in breach of the Debt Commitment
Letters or, to the extent definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letters have
been entered into, such agreements, then each of the Crestview Investor and the Macquarie Investor,
or its Affiliate, shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against
any lender in connection with such Debt Financing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Debt
Commitment Letter, for any damages resulting from such breach and shall be entitled to recover (on
a pro rata basis with Parent based on such Investor’s Investment Percentage) any proceeds received
by Parent as a result of any recovery, judgment or damages of any kind against any lender.
(f) To the extent that the amount paid by either the Crestview Investor or the Macquarie
Investor, as the case may be, pursuant to the Merger Agreement or its Sponsor Guarantee, in respect
of the 6.13(d) Expenses, exceeds such Investor’s pro rata share (based on Investment Percentages)
of $600,000, Parent shall indemnify such Investor for the amount of such excess.
5.14 Notice of Closing. Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to provide each
Investor with at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice of the Closing Date under the Merger
Agreement. Any notices or correspondence received by Parent under, in connection with, or related
to the Merger Agreement shall be promptly provided to each Investor in accordance with Section
8.4(a).
5.15 Macquarie Investor Syndication. Prior to the Investment Closing, the Macquarie
Investor shall have the opportunity to sell or assign to third parties up to the full amount of the
Syndication Portion of the Macquarie Investor’s aggregate Investment Amount (the “Macquarie
Investor Syndication”) and Parent agrees, at Macquarie Investor’s request, to sell any of the
Macquarie Investor’s Investment Amount sold or assigned in the Macquarie Investor Syndication
directly to such assignees; provided, that (a) no such assignment or purchase will relieve
the Macquarie Investor of its obligations hereunder; (b) any such purchaser or assignee will not be
entitled to purchase Parent Straight Preferred and instead will only be entitled to purchase shares
of Parent Class A Common Stock (if not a Non-U.S. Person), Parent Series C Preferred or, if a
Non-U.S. Person, Class B Warrants, and (c) the Macquarie Investor will not be permitted to so
syndicate to a single transferee (or one or more transferees with the same “ultimate parent entity”
for HSR Clearance purposes) an amount of Parent securities that would require such assignee to
obtain HSR Clearance in respect of such purchase of Parent securities, or that would require that
such transferee be named in the FCC Applications, or that would involve such purchaser, assignee or
its Affiliates acquiring more than 4.99% of the outstanding voting securities of Parent for
purposes of the Communications Act or FCC Regulations (it being understood that such assignee or
its Affiliates may acquire Class B Warrants exercisable for shares of Parent Class B Common Stock
above such 4.99% limitation). The price per share of Parent Class A
21
Common Stock, Class B Warrants, or Parent Series C Preferred, syndicated by the Macquarie
Investor, and the other terms and conditions of such sale, shall be set by the Macquarie Investor
in its discretion and may vary from buyer to buyer, so long as Parent receives at the Investment
Closing $4.34 per share of Parent Class A Common Stock, or Class B Warrant Share, or share of
Parent Common Stock into which the Parent Series C Preferred is convertible (including Class B
Warrants if Parent Series C Preferred is exchanged for Class B Warrants), so syndicated by the
Macquarie Investor. Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Macquarie
Investor, and will cause its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, at
Parent’s cost and expense as provided in Section 8.2, and will use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause its Representatives to provide, all cooperation reasonably requested by the Macquarie
Investor that is customary and reasonably necessary in connection with arrangement of the
Macquarie Investor Syndication and causing the conditions in this Agreement to be satisfied,
including (1) assisting with the preparation of offering and syndication documents and materials,
including prospectuses, private placement memoranda, information memoranda and packages, investor
presentations, and similar documents and materials, in connection with the Macquarie Investor
Syndication, and providing reasonable and customary authorization letters to the Macquarie Investor
authorizing the distribution of information to prospective investors and containing customary
information (all such documents and materials, collectively, the “Offering Documents”), (2)
participating in a reasonable number of meetings, due diligence sessions and drafting sessions in
connection with the Macquarie Investor Syndication, including direct contact between senior
management and Representatives of Parent and its Subsidiaries and the Macquarie Investor and
potential investors in the Macquarie Investor Syndication, (3) requesting Parent’s independent
auditors to cooperate with the Macquarie Investor’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
accountant’s comfort letters and consents from Parent’s independent auditors, (4) assisting in the
preparation of definitive Offering Documents, including underwriting or securities purchase
documents and other certificates and documents as may be requested by the Macquarie Investor,
including a securities purchase agreement directly between the Macquarie Investor’s assignees in
the Macquarie Investor Syndication containing representations, warranties, covenants, closing
conditions, closing deliverables and indemnification provisions no greater than that set forth in
this Agreement with respect to Parent and the Macquarie Investor (for the avoidance of doubt, if
Parent and the Macquarie Investor, each acting in its reasonable discretion, or the potential
Macquarie Investor assignees, are unable to agree upon the terms of such agreement, the Macquarie
Investor shall not be relieved of its commitment under this Agreement unless (i) the proposed terms
of such agreement are as provided above and the Parent is unwilling to enter into such agreement,
(ii) the Parent has breached its obligations hereunder or (iii) the other terms and conditions of
this Agreement are not satisfied or waived as provided herein, in any such case, such that the
closing conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 are not met), and (5) facilitating the
evaluation by potential investors in the Macquarie Investor Syndication, including taking
commercially reasonable actions necessary to permit such potential investors to evaluate Parent’s
and its Subsidiaries’ real property and current assets, cash management and accounting systems,
policies and procedures. In connection
with the foregoing, Parent will file with the SEC all
Parent Reports for the annual and quarterly fiscal periods
22
ending on and after December 31, 2010 as soon as practicable but in any event not later than
(A) ninety (90) days following the end of Parent’s fiscal year, in the case of annual reports on
Form 10-K and (B) forty-five (45) days following the end of each fiscal quarter of the Parent, in
the case of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, all of which such Parent Reports will be Compliant.
Parent hereby consents to the use of Parent Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Macquarie
Investor Syndication; provided, however, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not
intended, or reasonably likely, to harm or disparage Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or the
reputation or goodwill of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary. In addition, promptly following the date
hereof, Parent shall engage Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. (“Macquarie Capital”), for no
consideration or payment of any kind (exclusive of any payment that might be made pursuant to the
indemnification provisions thereof), to act as exclusive placement agent in respect of the Parent
Class A Common Stock, Class B Warrants and Parent Series C Preferred to be placed out of the
Syndication Portion. Such engagement shall be on customary terms for such transactions at such
time, including, as applicable, representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and indemnities;
provided, that no consideration or payment of any kind (exclusive of any payment that might
be made pursuant to the indemnification provisions thereof) shall be paid in connection therewith.
5.16 UBS Investor Syndication. Prior to the Investment Closing, the UBS Investor
shall have the opportunity to sell or assign to third parties up to the full amount of the UBS
Investor’s Investment Amount (the “UBS Investor Syndication”) and Parent agrees to sell any
of the UBS Investor’s Investment Amount sold or assigned in the UBS Investor Syndication directly
to such assignees; provided, that (a) no such assignment or purchase will relieve the UBS
Investor of its obligations hereunder; (b) any such purchaser or assignee will only be entitled to
purchase shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (if not a Non-U.S. Person) or, if a Non-U.S. Person,
Class B Warrants, and (c) the UBS Investor will not be permitted to so syndicate to a single
transferee (or one or more transferees with the same “ultimate parent entity” for HSR Clearance
purposes) an amount of Parent securities that would require such assignee to obtain HSR Clearance
in respect of such purchase of Parent securities, or that would require that such transferee be
named in the FCC Applications, or that would involve such purchaser, assignee or its Affiliates
acquiring more than 4.99% of the outstanding voting securities of Parent for purposes of the
Communications Act or FCC Regulations (it being understood that such assignee or its Affiliates may
acquire Class B Warrants exercisable for shares of Parent Class B Common Stock above such 4.99%
limitation). The price per share of Parent Class A Common Stock or Class B Warrants syndicated by
the UBS Investor, and the other terms and conditions of such sale, shall be set by the UBS Investor
in its discretion and may vary from buyer to buyer, so long as Parent receives at the Investment
Closing $4.34 per share of Parent Class A Common Stock or Class B Warrant Share so syndicated by
the UBS Investor. Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the UBS Investor,
and will cause its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, at Parent’s cost
and expense as provided in Section 8.2, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
Representatives to provide, all cooperation reasonably requested by the UBS Investor that is
customary and reasonably necessary in connection with arrangement of the UBS Investor Syndication
and causing
23

Syndication, including direct contact between senior management and Representatives of Parent and
its Subsidiaries and the UBS Investor and potential investors in the UBS Investor Syndication, (3)

reasonable efforts to obtain accountant’s comfort letters, (4) assisting in the preparation of
definitive UBS Offering Documents, including underwriting or securities purchase documents and
other certificates and documents as may be requested by the UBS Investor, including a securities
purchase agreement directly between the UBS Investor’s assignees in the UBS Investor Syndication
containing representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions, closing deliverables and
indemnification provisions no greater than that set forth in this Agreement with respect to Parent
and the UBS Investor (for the avoidance of doubt, if Parent and the UBS Investor, each acting in
its reasonable discretion, or the potential UBS Investor assignees, are unable to agree upon the
terms of such agreement, the UBS Investor shall not be relieved of its commitment under this
Agreement unless (i) the proposed terms of such agreement are as provided above and the Parent is
unwilling to enter into such agreement, (ii) the Parent has breached its obligations hereunder or
(iii) the other terms and conditions of this Agreement are not satisfied or waived as provided
herein, in any such case, such that the closing conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 are

additional consideration or payment of any kind (exclusive of any payment that might be made
pursuant to the indemnification provisions thereof), to act as exclusive placement agent in respect
of the Parent Class A Common Stock and Class B Warrants to be placed in the UBS Investor
Syndication.
24
5.17 Termination Fee. Parent affirms and agrees that any Termination Fee under the
Merger Agreement and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.2(c) of the Merger Agreement
received by Parent, will, in accordance with the terms of the “Bank and Bridge Facilities Fee
Letter” dated the Cadet Signing Date, first be shared ratably among Parent, the Crestview Investor,
the Macquarie Investor and the lenders under the Debt Commitment Letters to reimburse their
respective reasonable and documented expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and, after payment of such expenses, will be shared pro
rata among Parent, the Crestview Investor and the Macquarie Investor based on each such Party’s
respective Investment Percentage (but adjusted taking into account the foregoing expense
reimbursement of the Parties so that, in total, each such Party receives its pro rata share based
upon its respective Investment Percentage of total amounts received by such Parties hereunder) (and
Parent will direct the Company to pay to each such Investor directly such Investor’s pro rata
portion of the Termination Fee and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.2(c) of the Merger
Agreement to be received by such Investor in accordance with the foregoing), except that any
Failing Investor or Withdrawn Investor shall not share in any portion of the Termination Fee or any
amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.2(c) of the Merger Agreement, and any such Failing Investor’s
or Withdrawn Investor’s share shall be apportioned between Parent, on the one hand, and the
Crestview Investor (if the Macquarie Investor is the Failing Investor or Withdrawn Investor) or the
Macquarie Investor (if the Crestview Investor is the Failing Investor or Withdrawn Investor), as
the case may be, on the other, as provided in this sentence.

property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if jurisdiction in
the Delaware Court of Chancery is unavailable, the Federal courts of the United States of America

of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court of
Chancery (and if jurisdiction in the Delaware Court of Chancery is unavailable, the Federal courts
of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each of the Parties agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim,
cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether
in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this
Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the
Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is
vested in the Federal courts of the State of New York (and appellate courts thereof). Each of the
Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.
(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR
IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR IN RESPECT OF ANY ORAL
REPRESENTATIONS MADE OR ALLEGED TO BE MADE IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR
ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT RELATING THERETO, IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT
ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THE CRESTVIEW EQUITY COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF. EACH PARTY
CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (1) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (2) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE
31
IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (3) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (4) IT HAS BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS
IN THIS SECTION 8.8.
8.9 Publicity. None of the Parties will, and none of the Parties will permit any of
its Subsidiaries to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or similar public
announcement with respect to, or otherwise make any public statement concerning, the Investment
Transactions without the prior consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) of the
other Parties; provided, however, that any Party may, without the prior consent of
the other Parties (but after prior consultation with the other Parties to the extent practicable
under the circumstances) issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public
announcement to the extent required by Law or by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock
Market.
8.10 Assignment. Except as provided in Section 5.15 and Section 5.16, neither this
Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the
Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other
Parties and any attempt to do so will be null and void; provided that any Investor may
assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate (including any Affiliate of
such Investor’s ultimate parent entity or general partner of such Investor), but in each case only
if the transferee agrees in writing for the benefit of Parent to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement (any such transferee shall be included in the term “Investor”); provided,
further, that no such assignment shall relieve such Investor of its obligations hereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Investment Closing, none of the rights of any
Investor hereunder shall be assigned to, or enforceable by, and none of the obligations of any
Investor hereunder shall be applicable to, any Person to whom an Investor may Transfer Securities
(including any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants). Subject to the
preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
8.11 Remedies.
(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the
provisions of this Agreement to which the right of specific performance is applicable were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that in any such
case any breach of this Agreement could not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone.
Each Party accordingly agrees, to the extent specific performance is available to any of the other
Parties under this Section 8.11, not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable
remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of, or to
enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such Party under this Agreement all in
accordance with the terms of this Section 8.11. Any Party seeking an Injunction or Injunctions to
prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall not be required to post a bond or undertaking in connection with such order or
Injunction sought in accordance
32
with the terms of this Section 8.11. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Parties further agree that, except as set forth in this Section 8.11, Parent shall not be entitled
to an Injunction or Injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement against any Investor or
otherwise obtain any equitable relief or remedy against any Investor.
(b) Prior to any valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, in accordance
with and subject to this Section 8.11:
(1) each Investor shall be entitled to seek and obtain an Injunction or Injunctions to prevent
breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
and
(2) Parent shall be entitled to seek and obtain an Injunction or Injunctions to prevent
breaches of this Agreement by any Investor and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of
this Agreement; provided, however, that no such Injunction or Injunctions or
specific performance will be available to prevent breaches of this Agreement or enforce
specifically any term and provision hereof unless and until (A) the conditions set forth in Article
VI, including the Merger Closing Conditions, have been and continue to be satisfied, (B) the Debt
Financing has been funded or is available for funding subject only to a drawdown notice by Parent
or Holdco and (C) Parent has irrevocably confirmed in a written notice delivered to each Investor
that, if the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, the conditions set forth in Sections
6.1 and 6.2 are satisfied or waived (which waiver may be conditioned on the Investment Closing).
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject in all cases to each such
Investor’s rights to indemnification and contribution under Sections 5.12 and 5.13, the Parties (1)
agree that the maximum aggregate liability of each of the Crestview Investor and the Macquarie
Investor, and their respective Affiliates and Representatives, for monetary damages under or
relating to this Agreement, or any of the Transactions, to any Person shall be limited to an amount
equal to the product of (A) such Investor’s Investment Percentage multiplied by (B) the sum of (i)
the Parent Termination Fee, if the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Parent Termination Fee is
paid to the Company and (ii) if the Merger Agreement is terminated and the 6.13(d) Expenses are
paid to the Company, the lesser of the actual amount of such 6.13(d) Expenses so paid and $600,000
(the “Investor Liability Cap”) and (2) prior to any valid termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Article VII, or if, in connection with any such valid termination, no Parent
Termination Fee or 6.13(d) Expense is payable, then the sole and exclusive remedy and recourse of
any Party against any Investor and any Investor Party of either such Investor, for damages,
equitable relief or otherwise under or related to this Agreement shall be the equitable relief as
provided in Section 8.11(b)(2) and no other claim in law or equity of any kind may be made against
such Investor. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Investor Liability Cap shall not apply
to the Crestview Investor under the circumstances described in Section 5.13(a) and shall not apply
to the Macquarie Investor under the circumstances described in Section 5.13(b), and the Crestview
Investor or the Macquarie Investor, as the case may be, shall be liable for the Crestview
Indemnifiable Losses or the Macquarie Indemnifiable Losses, as the case may
33
be, in accordance with Section 5.13(a) or Section 5.13(b), as applicable, under the
circumstances and subject to the limitations described therein. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the sole and exclusive remedy and recourse of any Party against the UBS Investor
or any Investor Party of the UBS Investor for liability, damages, equitable relief or otherwise
under or related to this Agreement shall be the equitable relief as provided in Section 8.11(b)(2)
or the UBS Indemnifiable Losses in accordance with Section 5.13(c) under the circumstances and
subject to the limitations described therein and no other claim in law or equity of any kind may be
made against the UBS Investor or its Investor Parties.
(d) Parent acknowledges and agrees that it has no right of recovery against, and no personal
liability shall attach to, in each case with respect to damages of Parent and its Affiliates, any
Investor or any of the Investor Parties, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate,
limited partnership or limited liability company veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the
Parent against any Investor Party, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or
equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Law, or otherwise, except
for its rights to recover from such Investor (but not any other Investor Party) subject to the
Investor Liability Cap (in the case of the Crestview Investor or the Macquarie Investor) and the
last sentence of Section 8.11(c) above (in the case of the UBS Investor) and the other limitations
described herein. Recourse against any Investor shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent
and its Affiliates against the Investor Parties in respect of any liabilities arising under, or in
connection with, this Agreement or the Investment Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Parent shall be an intended third-party beneficiary of, with the right to enforce, the Crestview
Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.
8.12 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties hereto at any time prior
to the Investment Closing Date; provided, however, that no amendment may be made
that by Law requires further approval by Parent stockholders unless such further approval is first
obtained. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the
Parties.
8.13 Waivers. The conditions to each Party’s obligation to consummate the Investment
Closing are for the sole benefit of such Party and may be waived by such Party in whole or in part
to the extent permitted by applicable Law. No waiver of any Party to this Agreement shall be
effective unless it is in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the waiving Party that
makes express reference to the provision or provisions subject to such waiver.
8.14 No Duty to Other Investors. Each Investor acknowledges that it has not relied on
any other Investor, and that no other Investor (or any Affiliate or representative thereof) has
acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary of such Investor (or in any similar capacity) and has no
duty to such Investor with respect to this Agreement and the Investment Transactions. Each
Investor confirms to each other Investor that each Investor has conducted its own due diligence in
connection with its investment in the Issued Securities and the Investment Transactions and the
other Investors may therefore
34
have information different from, or additional to, the information possessed by such Investor.
In addition, although certain of the other Investors may have shared information received by them
(including information contained in third party reports prepared for such other Investors) with
such Investor, no representation or warranty is being made with respect to such information by any
such Investor or any such third party. Nothing in this Section 8.14 is meant to limit any duty,
obligation or liability Parent may have to any Investor under this Agreement or otherwise.
8.15 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to
any Person (including the officers and directors of the Investors and Parent) or circumstance is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than
those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect
and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal
substance of the Investment Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any
Party provided, that this Agreement shall not be enforced without giving effect to the
limitations of any amounts payable by any Investor hereunder to, as applicable, the Investor
Liability Cap or, under the circumstances and subject to the limitations described in Section
5.13(a) or Section 5.13(b), as applicable, the Crestview Indemnifiable Losses or the Macquarie
Indemnifiable Losses, as the case may be. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in
good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the
original intent of the Parties.
8.16 Interpretation. Unless the express context otherwise requires:
(a) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in
this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of
this Agreement;
(b) terms defined in the singular shall have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and
vice versa;
(c) the terms “Dollars” and “$” mean U.S. dollars;
(d) references herein to a specific Section, Subsection, Recital, Schedule or Exhibit shall
refer, respectively, to Sections, Subsections, Recitals, Schedules or Exhibits of this Agreement;
(e) wherever the word “include,” “includes” or “including” is used in this Agreement, it shall
be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”;
(f) references herein to any gender shall include each other gender;
35
(g) references herein to any Person shall include such Person’s heirs, executors, personal
representatives, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Section 8.16 is intended to authorize any assignment or transfer not
otherwise permitted by this Agreement;
(h) references herein to a Person in a particular capacity or capacities shall exclude such
Person in any other capacity;
(i) with respect to the determination of any period of time, (1) the word “from” means “from
and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to but excluding” and (2) time is of the
essence;
(j) the word “or” shall be disjunctive but not exclusive;
(k) references herein to any Law shall be deemed to refer to such Law as amended, modified,
codified, reenacted, supplemented or superseded in whole or in part and in effect from time to
time, and also to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;
(l) the headings contained in this Agreement are intended solely for convenience and shall not
affect the rights of the Parties; and
(m) if the last day for the giving of any notice or the performance of any act required or
permitted under this Agreement is a day that is not a Business Day, then the time for the giving of
such notice or the performance of such action shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day.
8.17 Rules of Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and
drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption
or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any
provision of this Agreement.
