When used in this Agreement, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, (a) words such as “herein”, “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereunder”, and “hereafter” shall refer to this Agreement as a whole, (b) the term “including” shall not be limiting, but shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”, (c) the word “or” shall not be exclusive and (e) the terms “Dollars”, “dollars” and “$” each mean lawful money of the United States of America.

ARTICLE 2
PURCHASE OF EQUITY INTERESTS

2.1. Purchase of Equity Interests. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, at the Closing, Sellers shall sell and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Sellers, the Equity Interests.

2.2. Purchase Price. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid an aggregate amount equal to $985,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, as follows:

(a) Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to each lender under the loan agreements specified by Sellers in writing not less than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, to

an account designated by such lender in writing, the amount of the indebtedness specified in such lender’s pay-off letter.

(b) Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid all identified Company Transaction Costs that remain outstanding as of the Closing Date to such account or accounts as are designated by Perpetual Corp.

(d) Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to an account designated by Sellers, the Purchase Price less the amounts described in Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) and 2.2(c) above, subject to adjustment as provided in this Agreement.

2.3. Indemnity Escrow Deposit. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit in escrow with Deutsche Bank AG (the “Escrow Agent”) cash in an amount equal to $39,400,000 (the “Indemnity Escrow Deposit”). The Indemnity Escrow Deposit shall be held by the Escrow Agent in an escrow fund (the “Indemnity Escrow Fund”) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and an Indemnity Escrow Agreement mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers (the “Indemnity Escrow Agreement”) for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, except to the extent earlier released to Sellers as provided herein or to the Buyer Indemnified Parties to satisfy any indemnity obligations of Sellers to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Agreement or for the payments to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnity Escrow Agreement shall provide that (i) on and as of the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall release to Sellers from the Indemnity Escrow Fund an amount equal to $19,700,000 less the amount of any claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under this Agreement outstanding and unpaid as of such date and (ii) on and as of the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall release to Sellers from the Indemnity Escrow Fund an amount equal to the amount of funds then held by the Escrow Agent in the Indemnity Escrow Fund (including all interest and other earnings thereon), less the amount of all claims by the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under this Agreement that are outstanding and unpaid as of such date, if any.

2.4. Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer an unaudited pro forma estimated balance sheet for the Acquired Companies, as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), together with an estimated, itemized calculation, based on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, of the Net Working Capital Amount as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Amount”). The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(b) At any time prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to object to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet or the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount by delivering written notice of such objection to Sellers. If Buyer does not provide such written

notice of objection to Sellers, then the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount shall, subject to Section 2.4(d), be deemed accepted by Buyer. If, on the other hand, Buyer provides such written notice of objection to Sellers, then representatives of Buyer and Sellers shall meet as promptly as practicable to discuss in good faith the proper Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the proper Estimated Net Working Capital Amount; provided, however, that if such representatives of Buyer and Sellers are unable to agree in good faith prior to the Closing Date on the proper Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the proper Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, then the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount shall be deemed to be equal to the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount as presented by Sellers.

(c) At the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be (i) increased by the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount if the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is a positive number, and (ii) decreased by the absolute value of the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, if the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is a negative number.

(d) Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers an unaudited balance sheet for the Acquired Companies as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date prior to the Closing Date (the “Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet”), together with an itemized calculation, based on the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet, of the Net Working Capital Amount as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date prior to the Closing Date (the “Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount”). The Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP using the same accounting principles, policies and methods as were historically used by Sellers in preparing the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet in connection with the calculation of each of the line items reflected thereon.

(e) If Sellers disagree with the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet or Buyer’s calculation of the Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount, then during the thirty (30) days following the date of Sellers’ receipt of the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet, Buyer and the Acquired Companies shall each provide Sellers with access to the working papers of Buyer and the Acquired Companies relating to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and the resulting calculation of the Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount, as well as any other information used in preparing the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet as is reasonably requested by Sellers. The Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and the resulting calculation of the Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount shall become final and binding at the end of such thirty (30) day period unless, prior to the end of such period, Sellers have delivered to Buyer written notice of their disagreement with such Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and the resulting calculation of the Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount (a “Disagreement Notice”), specifying the nature and amount of any disputed item.

(f) In the event that any Disagreement Notice is timely provided to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4(e), Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate for a period of thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Disagreement Notice (or such longer period as Buyer and Sellers may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and the Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount. If, at the end of such thirty (30) day period, Buyer and Sellers are unable to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet or the Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount, then a mutually acceptable, nationally recognized independent accounting firm that does not then have a

relationship with Sellers or Buyer) (the “Independent Accountant”) shall be engaged to resolve any remaining disagreements with respect to the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and/or the Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount. Buyer and Sellers shall instruct the Independent Accountant to determine as promptly as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of the date on which such dispute is referred to the Independent Accountant, whether and to what extent the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet and/or the Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount requires adjustment; provided, however, that the Independent Accountant shall be authorized to resolve only those items remaining in dispute between Buyer and Sellers as specified in the Disagreement Notice, in each case within the range of the difference between Buyer’s position with respect thereto and Sellers’ position with respect thereto. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant (including any indemnity obligations to the Independent Accountant) shall be allocated between Buyer and Sellers based on their relative success with respect to the disputed items (as finally determined by the Independent Accountant). For example, if Sellers challenge the calculation of the Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount by an amount of $100,000, but the Independent Accountant determines that Sellers have a valid claim for only $40,000, Buyer shall bear forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant and Sellers shall bear the other sixty percent (60%) of such fees and expenses. The fees and expenses (if any) of Buyer’s independent auditors and attorneys incurred in connection with the review of the Disagreement Notice shall be borne by Buyer, and the fees and expenses (if any) of Sellers’ independent auditors and attorneys incurred in connection with their review of the Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount shall be borne by Sellers.

(g) The “Final Net Working Capital Amount” shall be equal to (i) the Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount, in the event that Sellers do not provide a Disagreement Notice to Buyer within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.4(e) or (ii) the as-adjusted Reviewed Net Working Capital Amount as determined by the Independent Accountant pursuant to Section 2.4(f), in the event that Sellers provide a Disagreement Notice to Buyer within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.4(e). The Final Net Working Capital Amount shall be set forth on the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”, which shall be (x) the Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet in the event that Sellers do not provide a Disagreement Notice to Buyer within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.4(e) or (y) the as-adjusted Reviewed Closing Balance Sheet as determined by the Independent Accountant pursuant to Section 2.4(f), in the event that Sellers provide a Disagreement Notice to Buyer within the thirty (30) day period provided for in Section 2.4(e).

(h) If the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Final Net Working Capital Amount, then the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, minus the Final Net Working Capital Amount shall be referred to as a “Reviewed Net Working Capital Shortfall”. If the Final Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, then the difference between the Final Net Working Capital Amount, minus the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount shall be referred to as a “Reviewed Net Working Capital Overage”.

(i) The “Final Adjustment Amount” shall be an amount equal to either the Reviewed Net Working Capital Shortfall or the Reviewed Net Working Capital Overage, as applicable. In the event that the Final Adjustment Amount is a Reviewed Net Working Capital Shortfall, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by such amount and Buyer shall recover such

amount from the Indemnity Escrow Fund pursuant to joint written instructions of Buyer and Sellers delivered to the Escrow Agent. In the event that the Final Adjustment Amount is a Reviewed Net Working Capital Overage, the Purchase Price shall be increased by such amount and Buyer shall pay such amount to Sellers by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account(s) designated by Sellers.

(j) Any payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.4(i) shall be made within five (5) days of the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.4(i) and shall bear interest from the Closing Date to the date of such payment at a rate, calculated daily on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days and the actual number of days elapsed, equal to the prime rate of interest as announced or published in The Wall Street Journal.

2.5. Allocation. The Purchase Price (after any adjustments thereto) shall be allocated among the shares of Perpetual Corp. and the membership interests in Charleston TV as reflected on Schedule 2.5, in each case as adjusted to reflect the Final Adjustment Amount.

2.6. Closing.

(a) Subject to any prior termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1, the consummation of the sale and purchase of the Equity Interests pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP located at 000 00xx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxxxxx X.X. 00000 on (i) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date that is the later of (x) the date on which the FCC Consent shall have been granted and shall be in full force and effect, and shall have become a Final Order and (y) the date on which the HSR Clearance has been obtained, or (ii) such other date or at such other location as is mutually agreed to Buyer and Sellers in writing (as applicable, the “Closing Date”), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Closing set forth herein (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing); provided, however, that, notwithstanding Section 7.3, Buyer, in its sole discretion and upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Sellers, may waive the requirement that the FCC Consent become a Final Order if, in connection therewith, the parties execute and deliver at the Closing a mutually acceptable unwind agreement relating to the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Unwind Agreement”), unless Buyer waives the requirement to execute an Unwind Agreement.

(b) A breach by a party of its obligations to effect the Closing pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including this Section 2.6, shall be subject to Section 12.1(b) or Section 12.1(c), as applicable (and shall not be subject to the Cure Period under Section 12.2).

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Effective Time” means 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date. If the Closing shall not have occurred for any reason within the original effective period of the FCC Consent, and neither party shall have terminated this Agreement under Article 12 hereof, Buyer and Sellers shall jointly request one or more extensions of the effective period of the FCC Consent; provided, however, that no such extension

of the FCC Consent shall limit the right of either party to exercise such party’s rights under Article 12.

2.7. Governmental Consents.

(a) Within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, Buyer and Sellers shall, and Sellers shall cause the Acquired Companies to, jointly file an application or applications with the FCC requesting the grant of its consent to the transfer of control of the Acquired Companies from Sellers to Buyer (collectively, the “FCC Application”). Buyer and Sellers shall, and Sellers shall cause the Acquired Companies to, diligently prosecute the FCC Application and otherwise use their reasonable best efforts (including by taking the “Resolution Measures” set forth on Schedule 2.7(f)) to obtain the FCC Consent as soon as practicable; provided, however, that except as provided in the following sentence, neither Buyer nor Sellers, as applicable, shall be required to pay consideration to any third party to obtain FCC Consent. Buyer shall pay one-half (1/2), and Sellers shall pay one-half (1/2) of the FCC filing fees relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, irrespective of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated. Sellers and Buyer each shall oppose any petitions to deny or other objections filed with respect to the FCC Applications to the extent such petition or objection relates to such party. Neither Buyer nor Sellers shall, and Sellers shall cause the Acquired Companies not to, take any intentional action which would, or intentionally fail to take such action the failure of which to take would, reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially delaying the grant of the FCC Consent.

(b) Intentionally Omitted.

(c) If applicable, within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Buyer and Sellers shall make any required filings with the FTC and the DOJ pursuant to the HSR Act, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (including a request for early termination of the waiting period thereunder), and shall thereafter promptly respond to all requests received from such agencies for additional information or documentation and otherwise use their reasonable best efforts (including by taking the “Resolution Measures” set forth on Schedule 2.7(f)) to obtain the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act (the “HSR Clearance”). Any filing fees payable under the HSR Act relating to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne one-half (1/2) by Buyer and one-half (1/2) by Sellers.

(d) In connection with the expiration of the FCC Licenses as set forth on Schedule 3.4(a), if, at any point prior to the Closing, an application for the renewal of any FCC License (a “Renewal Application”) must be filed pursuant to the Communications Laws, Sellers shall cause each applicable Acquired Company to timely execute, file and prosecute with the FCC such Renewal Application in accordance with Section 5.1(b) hereof. If any FCC Application is granted by the FCC subject to a renewal condition, then, without limitation of Section 2.7(a) or (e), 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 Applications, Buyer shall agree (i) as a part of the FCC Applications, to request that the FCC apply its policy permitting the transfer of control of FCC licenses in transactions involving multiple stations to proceed, notwithstanding the pendency of one or more Renewal

Applications, and (ii) 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 2.7(d) shall be deemed to amend or modify the provision of Section 10.2 relating to indemnification. In addition, Buyer acknowledges that, to the extent reasonably necessary to expedite the grant by the FCC of any Renewal Application with respect to any Broadcast Station and thereby to facilitate grant of the FCC Application with respect to such Broadcast Station, the Acquired Companies shall be permitted to enter into tolling, assignment and assumption or similar agreements with the FCC to extend the statute of limitations for the FCC to determine or impose a forfeiture penalty against such Broadcast Station in connection with (i) any pending complaints that such Broadcast Station aired programming that contained obscene, indecent or profane material or (ii) any other enforcement matters against such Broadcast Station with respect to which the FCC may permit the Acquired Companies to enter into a tolling, assignment or assumption agreement; provided, however, that Buyer agrees to accept liability in connection with any such complaint or enforcement action by the FCC, if so requested by the FCC as part of such tolling or other arrangements, subject to the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 10.2(a). Buyer and Sellers shall consult in good faith with each other prior to any Acquired Company entering into any such tolling, assignment or assumption agreement under this Section 2.7(d).

(e) Without limiting the provisions of Sections 2.7(a), 2.7(b), 2.7(c) and 2.7(d), Sellers and Buyer shall, and Sellers shall cause the Acquired Companies to, (i) use reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable any necessary consents, approvals, waivers and authorizations of, actions or nonactions by, and make as promptly as practicable all necessary filings and submissions with, any Governmental Entity or any third party necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Sellers or any of the Acquired Companies be required to pay any fee, penalty or other consideration to obtain any consent, approval, order, waiver or authorization in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any contract other than de minimis amounts or amounts that are advanced or reimbursed substantially simultaneously by Buyer, (ii) use reasonable best efforts to (x) avoid a suit, action, petition to deny, objection, proceeding or investigation, whether judicial or administrative and whether brought by a Governmental Entity or any third party and (y) avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, stay, temporary restraining order or other order in any such suit, action, petition to deny, objection, proceeding or investigation, in each case, challenging this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or that would otherwise prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with each other in (x) determining which filings are required to be made prior to the Effective Time with, and which material consents, approvals, Permits, notices or authorizations are required to be obtained prior to the Effective Time from, Governmental Entities or third parties in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (y) timely making all such filings and timely seeking all such consents, approvals, Permits, notices or authorizations, (iv) use reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article 8 and Article 9 to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable and (v) use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions and do, or cause to be done, and cooperate with

each other in order to do, all other things necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable. In connection with the foregoing, Sellers, on the one hand, will provide Buyer, and Buyer, on the other hand, will provide Sellers, with copies of any material correspondence, filing or communication (or oral summaries or memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between such party or any of its agents or representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity or members of their respective staffs, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Prior to submitting or making any such correspondence, filing or communication to any such Governmental Entity or members of their respective staffs, the parties shall first provide the other party with a copy of such correspondence, filing or communication in draft form and give such other party a reasonable opportunity to discuss its content before it is submitted or filed with the relevant Governmental Entities, and shall consider and take account of all reasonable comments timely made by the other party with respect thereto. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties shall ensure that the other party is given the opportunity to attend any meetings with or other appearances before any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) For purposes of this Section 2.7, “reasonable best efforts” shall include (i) diligently prosecuting the FCC Application, (ii) vigorously defending, contesting and objecting to any claims, lawsuits, petitions to deny, objections, actions or other proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, by or before any Governmental Entity challenging this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or that would otherwise prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed, and (iii) taking the “Resolution Measures” set forth on Schedule 2.7(f); provided, however, that Sellers and the Acquired Companies shall not be required to take, and Buyer shall not take, any such actions contemplated in clauses (i) through (iii) above which would bind Sellers or the Acquired Companies in respect of any matter if the Closing does not occur.

(g) If the Closing shall not have occurred for any reason within the original effective period of the FCC Consent, and neither party shall have terminated this Agreement under Section 12.1, Buyers and Sellers shall jointly request an extension of the effective period of the FCC Consents. No extension of the FCC Consents shall limit the rights of either party to exercise its rights under Section 12.1.

ARTICLE 3
SELLER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Sellers hereby make, jointly and severally, the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Closing:

3.1. Organization and Capitalization; Business Subsidiaries; Restructuring.

Except as set forth on Schedule 3.3 and except for the Governmental Consents and the consents to assign the Material Contracts indicated as requiring consent on Schedule 3.8(a), the execution, delivery and performance by Sellers of this Agreement and the Seller Ancillary Agreements and the consummation by Sellers of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby does not and will not, with or without notice or the passage of time (a) violate the Organizational Documents of Sellers or the Acquired Companies, (b) violate in any material respect, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than any Permitted Lien) under, any Law, judgment, order or decree to which any Seller or Acquired Company is subject, (c) result in a material breach of, or event of default or the creation of any Lien (other than any Permitted Lien) under, any Material Contract or (d) require the consent or approval of, or a filing by any Seller with, any Governmental Entity.

3.4. FCC and Programming Distribution Matters.

(a) Schedule 3.4(a) sets forth a true and complete list of the FCC Licenses and the holders thereof, which FCC Licenses constitute all of the FCC Licenses of the Broadcast Stations. The FCC Licenses are in full force and effect and have not been revoked, suspended, canceled, rescinded or terminated, and have not expired. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.4(a), the FCC Licenses (i) have been issued for the full terms customarily issued by the FCC for each class of Broadcast Station and (ii) are not subject to any condition, except for those conditions appearing on the face of the FCC Licenses and conditions generally applicable to each class of Broadcast Station.

(b) The Acquired Companies have operated each Broadcast Station in compliance with the Communications Laws and the FCC Licenses in all material respects and have paid or caused to be paid all FCC regulatory fees due in respect to each Broadcast Station. All material registrations and reports required to have been filed with the FCC relating to the FCC Licenses have been filed and the Acquired Companies have completed or caused to be completed the construction of all facilities or changes contemplated by any of the FCC Licenses or construction Permits issued to modify the FCC Licenses. There is not pending, nor, to Sellers’ knowledge, threatened, any action by or before the FCC to revoke, suspend, cancel, rescind or materially adversely modify any of the FCC Licenses (other than proceedings to amend FCC rules of general applicability), nor is there issued or outstanding, by or before the FCC, any order to show cause, notice of violation, notice of apparent liability, or order of forfeiture against the Broadcast Stations or the Acquired Companies with respect to the Broadcast Stations that would reasonably be expected to result in any such action. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.4(b) and other than proceedings affecting broadcast stations generally, there are no material applications, petitions, proceedings or other material actions or complaints pending or, to Sellers’ knowledge, threatened before the FCC relating to the Broadcast Stations. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.4(b) and except for tolling agreements entered into pursuant to Section 2.7(c), none of the Acquired Companies nor any of the Broadcast Stations has (i) entered into a tolling agreement or otherwise waived any statute of limitations relating to the Broadcast

Stations during which the FCC may assess any fine or forfeiture or take any other action or (ii) agreed to any extension of time with respect to any FCC investigation or proceeding.

(c) Sellers are qualified under the Communications Laws to transfer control of the FCC Licenses to Buyer. To Sellers’ knowledge, there are no facts or circumstances relating to the Broadcast Stations, Sellers or the Acquired Companies that would reasonably be expected to (i) result in the FCC’s refusal to grant the FCC Consent, (ii) materially delay the receipt of the FCC Consent. Sellers have no reason to believe that the FCC Applications might be challenged or might not be granted by the FCC in the ordinary course due to any fact or circumstance relating to the Sellers, the Acquired Companies, the Business or the FCC Licenses.

(d) None of the Acquired Companies is a party to any local marketing agreement, time brokerage agreement, joint sales agreement or other similar agreement (collectively, a “Sharing Agreement”).

JOINT COVENANTS

Buyer and Sellers hereby covenant and agree as follows:

6.1. Confidentiality. Sellers (or an Affiliate of Sellers) and Buyer (or an Affiliate of Buyer) are parties to a nondisclosure agreement (the “NDA”) with respect to Sellers and the Acquired Companies. To the extent not already a direct party thereto, each of Sellers and Buyer hereby assumes the NDA and agrees to be bound by the provisions thereof. Without limiting the terms of the NDA or expanding the obligations thereunder, subject to the requirements of applicable law, all non-public information regarding Sellers, the Acquired Companies, their respective Affiliates and their businesses and properties that is disclosed in connection with the negotiation, preparation or performance of this Agreement (including all financial information provided by Sellers or the Acquired Companies to Buyer) shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other Person, except Buyer’s representatives and lenders for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.2. Announcements. No party shall, without the prior written consent of the other, issue any press release or make any other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent that such party is so obligated by Law or any rule or regulation of any securities exchange upon which the securities of such party are listed or traded, in which case such party shall give advance notice to the other, and except that the parties shall cooperate to make a mutually agreeable announcement.

6.3. Consents. Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (a) any third party consents required under any Material Contract in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (which shall not require any payment to any such third party) and (b) customary estoppel certificates reasonably acceptable to Buyer under the Real Property Leases listed on Schedule 6.3(b), which shall include each Real Property Lease for a Station’s studio or Tower Lease for a Station’s primary tower or other material tower; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge and agree that such third party consents or estoppel certificates are not conditions to Closing, except for those certain third party consents set forth on Schedule 6.3(a) (the “Required Consents”).

6.4. Employees; Employee Plans.

(a) Schedule 6.4(a)(1) sets forth a list as of the date hereof (which Sellers shall update as of a reasonable time prior to the Closing) showing employee names, positions and

status for all employees of the Acquired Companies (the “Station Employees”), it being understood that any employee of an Acquired Company whose employment responsibilities relate primarily and substantially to the corporate operations of such Acquired Company or to any Non-Business Subsidiary shall not be deemed a Station Employee for any purpose hereunder. Each such non-Station Employee is listed on Schedule 6.4(a)(2) which also lists such Person’s title. None of the Persons listed on Schedule 6.4(a)(2) as non-Station Employees will be an employee of an Acquired Company as of the Closing.

(b) So long as a Non-Union Station Employee is employed by Buyer, Buyer shall provide each Non-Union Station Employee who does not have an employment agreement with the Acquired Companies employee benefits, compensation and severance that are no less favorable to the employee benefits, compensation and severance provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer, provided that, except to the extent included in determining the Net Working Capital Amount or as required by Law, Buyer shall not be obligated to provide credit for past accrued but unused time with respect to sick, personal or vacation leave. To the extent permitted by Law and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall give Non-Union Station Employees full credit for purposes of eligibility waiting periods and vesting and benefit accrual (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan) under the employee benefit plans or arrangements or severance practices maintained by the Buyer or its Affiliates in which such Non-Union Station Employees participate for such Non-Union Station Employees’ service with the Acquired Companies.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.4, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement is not intended to create a contract between Buyer, Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates on the one hand and any Station Employee on the other hand, and no Station Employee may rely on this Agreement as the basis for any breach of contract claim against Buyer, Sellers or any Acquired Company, (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to require any Acquired Company to employ any particular Station Employee for any period after the Closing, and (iii) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to limit the Acquired Companies’ rights to terminate the employment of any Station Employee during any period prior to or after the Closing Date.

(d) Schedule 6.4(a) separately identifies each Station Employee who is represented by a labor union (“Union Station Employees”) as of the date hereof (as may subsequently be updated by Sellers pursuant to Section 6.4(a)). Buyer shall recognize each labor union as the exclusive representative of the specific group of Station Employees that such labor union represents pursuant to the Collective Bargaining Agreement to which it is a party. Buyer shall assume and thereafter fully satisfy and perform all liabilities, commitments and other obligations set forth in Collective Bargaining Agreements, including all terms and conditions of employment incorporated therein, and any bargaining obligations, contribution requirements and payment requirements arising under the Collective Bargaining Agreements themselves and/or any Xxxx-Xxxxxxx or other collectively bargained benefit plans set forth in Schedule 3.11(a) and 3.11(b), from and after Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall provide to those Union Station Employees who are presently covered by the same Employee Plans as the Non-Union Station Employees the same employee benefits, compensation, severance and credit for purposes of eligibility waiting periods and vesting and benefit accrual provided to the Non-Union Station Employees pursuant to Section 6.4(b).

(e) Prior to the Closing Date, Sellers and Acquired Companies will take the actions set forth on Schedule 6.4(e) with respect to the spin-off of certain Employee Plans (or assets relating thereto) maintained or sponsored by Sellers, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, in each case to become effective immediately prior to the Effective Time.

6.5. Access to and Retention of Records. Subject to Section 11.7, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Acquired Companies preserve, in accordance with Buyer’s normal document retention procedures and practices, all books and records of the Acquired Companies and shall provide Sellers a reasonable opportunity to access and obtain copies, at Sellers’ expense, of any such books and records. In addition to the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall afford to Sellers, and their counsel, accountants, and other authorized agents and representatives, at Sellers’ expense, during normal business hours, reasonable access to the employees, books, records and other data relating to the Business or the Acquired Companies in its possession with respect to the periods prior to the Closing, and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, to the extent that such access may be reasonably required by Sellers (a) to facilitate the investigation, litigation and final disposition of any claims which may have been or may be made against Sellers, (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 or the business and operations of Buyer or the Acquired Companies.

6.6. Cooperation. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Sellers to release any Liens applicable to the Acquired Companies. Buyer acknowledges that Sellers may use a portion of the proceeds from the Purchase Price for the repayment of Indebtedness associated with any such Liens.

6.7. Transition Arrangements. As set forth on Schedule 6.7, for a period of up to nine (9) months following the Closing Date, (a) Buyer and the Acquired Companies will permit Sellers and their Affiliates to continue to occupy facilities owned or leased by the Acquired Companies, in each case (i) to the same extent to which Sellers and their Affiliates occupy such facilities as of the date hereof and (ii) subject to payment of an agreed-upon rental amount and cost-sharing arrangement reflective of the allocated cost structures applicable to those arrangements maintained by Sellers and their Affiliates as of the date hereof with respect to such facilities and (b) unless terminated earlier by Buyer, Sellers and their Affiliates will continue to provide services to Buyer and the Acquired Companies to the same extent to which Sellers and their Affiliates provide such service to the Acquired Companies as of the date hereof, subject to the payment by Buyer and the Acquired Companies of an amount reflective of the allocated cost structures applicable to those arrangements maintained by Sellers and their Affiliates as of the date hereof.

6.8. Interim Reports. Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar month during the period from the Balance Sheet Date through the Closing, Sellers shall provide to Buyer, with respect to the Acquired Companies, the unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such month and the related combined unaudited statement of operations for such month ended of the Acquired Companies. Such reports shall be prepared on the same basis as the Financial Statements. Sellers shall also provide to Buyer weekly pacing reports for each of the Stations

promptly following the end of each week during the period from the date hereof through the Closing.

6.9. Fulfillment of Conditions. Without limiting any other obligation of a party expressly set forth herein, Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy each of the conditions to the Closing of Buyer set forth in Article 8 (Buyer Closing Conditions), and Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy each of the conditions to the Closing of Sellers set forth in Article 7 (Seller Closing Conditions), and each of the parties shall use its 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 practicable.

6.10. Title Commitments; Surveys. Buyer shall have the responsibility to obtain, at its sole option and expense, (a) commitments for owner’s and lender’s title insurance policies on the Owned Real Property and commitments for lessee’s and lender’s title insurance policies for all Real Property that is leased pursuant to a Real Property Lease (collectively, the “Title Commitments”), and (b) an ALTA survey on each parcel of Real Property (the “Surveys”); provided, however, that Sellers shall provide Buyer with any existing Title Commitments and Surveys in its possession. The Title Commitments will evidence a commitment to issue an ALTA title insurance policy insuring good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple (or leasehold, if applicable) title to each parcel of the Real Property contemplated above for such amount as Buyer directs. Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in obtaining such Title Commitments and Surveys, provided that neither Sellers nor any Acquired Company shall be required to incur any cost, expense or other liability in connection therewith. If the Title Commitments or Surveys reveal any Lien on the title other than Permitted Liens, Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing of such objectionable matter as soon as Buyer becomes aware that such matter is not a Permitted Lien, and Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such objectionable matter as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

6.11. No Negotiation. Until the earlier of the Closing or such time as this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 12.1, Sellers, the Acquired Companies and their respective directors, officers, investment bankers and agents shall cease any discussions or negotiations with, and shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, encourage or entertain any inquiries or proposals from, discuss or negotiate with, provide any nonpublic information to or consider the merits of any inquiries or proposals from any Person (other than Buyer) relating to any business combination transaction involving the Equity Interests, the assets of the Acquired Companies or the Stations (other than in the ordinary course of business or as provided by this Agreement).

6.12. No-Hire. During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, neither Sellers nor any of their Affiliates will directly or indirectly, solicit to employ or hire any Station Employee, unless Buyer first terminates the employment of such employee, such employee voluntarily terminates without inducement by Sellers or their Affiliates or Buyer gives its written consent to such employment or offer of employment; provided, however, that Sellers shall be permitted to make a general solicitation for employment not targeted to any Station Employee and shall not be prohibited from employing any such employee pursuant to such a general solicitation. The time period referred to in this

Section 6.12 shall be tolled on a day-for-day basis for each day during which any Sellers or their Affiliates participates in any activity in violation of this Section 6.12 so that the Sellers and their Affiliates shall be restricted from engaging in the conduct referred to in this Section 6.14 of this Agreement for the full period contemplated hereby.

The party requesting such cooperation shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (excluding internal costs) incurred in providing such cooperation (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) by the party providing such cooperation and by its Affiliates and its and their officers, directors, employees and agents.

10.2. Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 10.2(b), from and after the Closing, Sellers, jointly and severally, shall 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 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 Sellers of their representations and warranties made under this Agreement;

(ii) any default by Sellers of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement;

shall have any liability for any such deficiency, provided, however, that, in the event the Buyer Indemnified Parties suffer Damages arising out of or resulting from (A) Sellers’ breach of its representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 (Organization), 3.2 (Authorization), 3.3 (No Conflicts) or 3.4 (Title to Equity Interests), 3.9 (Environmental), (B) the matters set forth in 10.2(a)(ii), (C) the matters set forth in Section 10.2(a)(iii), (D) the matters set forth in Section 10.2(a)(iv) and (E) the matters set forth in Section 10.2(a)(v), or (F) the matters set forth in Section 10.2(a)(vi), the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled, at their option, to seek recourse either from the Indemnity Escrow Fund or directly from Sellers, and any such claim for indemnification shall not be subject to either of clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 10.2(b), other than the representations in Section 3.9 (Environmental) and the matters set forth in Section 10.2(a)(vi) which shall be subject to clause (i) of this Section 10.2(b); provided, further, that the maximum aggregate amount recoverable by the Buyer Indemnified Parties from Sellers with respect to any such claims for indemnification as contemplated by the foregoing clauses (A) through (F) shall be an amount equal to the aggregate portion of the Purchase Price received by Sellers hereunder, minus the aggregate amount the Buyer Indemnified Parties have previously recovered from the Escrow Fund with respect thereto; provided, further, that there shall be no limitation on recovery for any claim for intentional fraud. For purposes of this Article 10, solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of any Damages arising out of or resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers contained in this Agreement (and not for determining the existence of any breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers contained in this Agreement), the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect.

(c) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, their respective Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees and authorized agents (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties, whether or not resulting from third party claims, arising out of or resulting from

For purposes of this Article 10, solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of any Damages arising out of or resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement (and not for determining the existence of any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement), the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications as to materiality.

10.3. Procedures with Respect to Third Party Claims.

(a) A party seeking indemnification under this Article 10 (each an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought (each an “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 such notice is given within the time period described in Section 10.1.

(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, 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

(iii) in the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes defense of or 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 concerning such Claim and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and their respective counsel shall cooperate in good faith with respect to such Claim.

10.4. No Special Damages; Mitigation. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable to any Indemnified Party 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. Each party agrees to exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages in respect of any pending or threatened Claim; provided, however, that no party shall be required to use such efforts if they would be demonstrably detrimental in any material respect to such party. In the event that an Indemnified Party shall fail to make such efforts to mitigate such Damages, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify such Indemnified Party or any other Indemnified Party to the extent of any Damages that reasonably could have been avoided if such Indemnified Party or other Indemnified Party had made such efforts.

10.5. Offset. The amount of any Damages indemnifiable by any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 10 will be reduced to reflect (a) the value of any net Tax benefit (whether monetary or otherwise) that is actually realized in the taxable year such Damages are incurred or the two succeeding taxable years, directly or indirectly, by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Damages and (b) any amount actually recovered or recoverable by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies or otherwise with respect to such Damages. The amount of any claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be (i) determined without duplication of recovery by reason of any event giving rise to Damages constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and (ii) reduced if and to the extent the matter giving rise to the indemnification was taken into account in calculating the Final Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 2.4.

10.6. Treatment of Indemnity Benefits. All payments made by Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, to or for the benefit of the other pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment shall govern for purposes of this Agreement.

10.7. No Claims for Post-Closing Tax Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not have the right to indemnification under this Agreement for any Damages to the extent such Damages are based on Taxes (a) attributable to taxable periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, (b) that are due to the unavailability in any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date of any net operating losses, credits, or other Tax attribute from a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (c) that result from any transaction on the

Closing Date out of the ordinary course of business or (d) that result from Buyer’s breach of any of the covenants contained in Article 11.

10.8. Exclusive Remedies. Buyer and Sellers acknowledge and agree that, if the Closing occurs, the indemnification provisions of this Article 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Buyer and Sellers for any breach of the representations or warranties or nonperformance of or default under any covenants or agreements of Buyer or Sellers contained in this Agreement or any Buyer Ancillary Agreements or Seller Ancillary Agreements; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve or limit the liability of any party for Damages arising out of or resulting from such party’s fraud in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller Ancillary Agreements or the Buyer Ancillary Agreements or limit the availability of equitable relief, including specific performance, to the extent provided for in this Agreement.

10.9. Pre-Closing Knowledge. The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement, any Seller Ancillary Agreement or Buyer Ancillary Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge capable of being acquired at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

ARTICLE 11

TAX MATTERS

11.1. Tax Indemnity.

(a) Sellers hereby agree to indemnify Buyer and each Acquired Company and hold them harmless from and against any loss, claim, liability, expense, or other damage attributable to (i) all Taxes of the Acquired Companies arising with respect to a Tax period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) to the extent such Taxes exceed the amount of Taxes reflected as a liability on the books of the Acquired Companies; (ii) all Taxes of any member (which is not an Acquired Company) of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which any Acquired Company (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date and for which any Acquired Company is liable, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation to the extent such Taxes exceed the amount of Taxes reflected as a liability on the books of the Acquired Companies; (iii) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than an Acquired Company) imposed on any Acquired Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing and (iv) a breach by Sellers of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.5 hereof.

(b) Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify Sellers against all Taxes arising with respect to a Tax period, or portion thereof, beginning after the Closing Date (a “Post-Closing Tax Period”).

(c) Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Claim for indemnity from Sellers under Section 11.1(a) shall, at the option of Buyer, be paid either out of the Indemnity Escrow Fund or shall be paid proportionately by Sellers, but in no event shall the obligation of a Seller to make any such payment exceed the amount of the Purchase Price received by such Seller for such Seller’s equity interests in the Acquired Parent Companies.

(d) Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, the provisions of this Article 11, other than Section 11.11 (which shall not expire) shall continue in effect until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations plus sixty (60) days for Taxes included in Pre-Closing Tax Periods (after taking into all extensions with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Periods) at which time such obligations shall expire and be of no further force or effect.

11.2. Straddle Period Allocation. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes (other than Property Taxes) and Tax refunds (other than Property Tax refunds) of the Acquired Companies for the portion of the Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of and including the Closing Date (with exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) apportioned between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the portion of such Straddle Period after the Pre-Closing Tax Period based on the number of days in each such period), and the amount of any real property, personal property, ad valorem or similar Taxes of the Acquired Companies (“Property Taxes”) and any Property Tax refunds for the portion of the Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Property Taxes or Property Tax refunds for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. For the avoidance of doubt, no election shall be made under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) to ratably allocate income with respect to the Acquired Companies or the transactions or matters contemplated herein.

11.3. Tax Returns. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.8:

(a) Sellers shall prepare and timely file (taking into account all valid extensions), or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed (taking into account all valid extensions), all Income Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies covering a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date with an initial due date (taking into account all applicable extensions) after the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”), and each such Pre-Closing Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past custom and practice of the Acquired Companies in filing their income Tax Returns. For purposes of calculating the Tax liability for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (i) all Company Transaction Costs of the Acquired Companies shall be deemed to have accrued on or before the Closing Date and treated as deductions on any applicable Pre-Closing Tax Return, (ii) the Acquired Companies shall timely and properly make an election under Revenue Procedure 2011-29 to deduct seventy percent (70%) of any success-based fees as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.263(a)-5(f) incurred by the Acquired Companies in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Deductible Success-Based Fees”), and (iii) carry back, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, any net operating losses of the Acquired Companies attributable to

any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date. Sellers shall provide a copy of each such Pre-Closing Tax Return, together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to Buyer for Buyer’s review and reasonable comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account all valid extensions) for filing such Pre-Closing Tax Return, and Sellers shall include any reasonable comments provided in writing by Buyer to Sellers at least fourteen (14) days prior to the due date (taking into account all valid extensions) for filing such Pre-Closing Tax Return; provided, however, that in the case of a Pre-Closing Tax Return for which the filing deadline (including extensions) is within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall (x) provide a copy of such Pre-Closing Tax Return to Buyer for Buyer’s review and reasonable comment at least ten (10) days prior to the due date (including extensions) and (y) include any reasonable comments provided by Buyer to Sellers at least five (5) days prior to such due date (including extensions). To the extent such Taxes are an obligation of Sellers pursuant to Section 11.1(a), Sellers shall pay to the Acquired Companies the amount of Tax owed within the time period specified in Section 11.3(c).

(b) Buyer shall prepare and timely file (taking into account all valid extensions), or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed (taking into account all valid extensions), all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies covering a Straddle Period (each, a “Straddle Tax Return”), and each such Straddle Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past custom and practice except as otherwise required by applicable Law or fact. Buyer shall provide a copy of each such Straddle Tax Return, together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to Sellers for Sellers’ review and reasonable comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account all valid extensions) for filing such Straddle Tax Return, and Buyer shall include any reasonable comments provided in writing by Sellers to Buyer at least fourteen (14) days prior to the due date (taking into account all valid extensions) for filing such Straddle Tax Return; provided, however, that in the case of a Straddle Tax Return for which filing deadline (including extensions) is within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Buyer (i) shall in good faith attempt (but shall not have any obligation) to provide a copy of such Straddle Tax Return to Sellers for Sellers’ review and (ii) does not have any obligation to accept any of Sellers’ comments with respect to such Straddle Tax Return. Subject to the indemnification obligations of Sellers pursuant to Section 11.1(a), the Acquired Companies, as applicable, shall be responsible for timely paying (taking into account all valid extensions) all Taxes reflected on a Straddle Tax Return to the applicable Taxing Authority.

(c) To the extent Taxes reflected on a Pre-Closing Tax Return or Straddle Tax Return are the obligation of Sellers pursuant to Section 11.1(a), Sellers will pay to Buyer the amount of Taxes reflected on such Pre-Closing Tax Return or Straddle Tax Return, as applicable, that are the obligation of Sellers pursuant to Section 11.1(a) within five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (i) a written request by Buyer, or (ii) the due date (including extensions of such Pre-Closing Tax Return or Straddle Tax Return.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the term Pre-Closing Tax Return and Straddle Tax Return shall not include, and this Section 11.3 shall not apply to, any Tax Return that is not required under applicable Law to be filed by the Acquired Companies, such as the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return of the Allholdco affiliated group.

(e) If requested by Sellers, Buyer shall provide Sellers with executed powers of attorney on IRS FORM 2848 and appropriate powers of attorney for state and local tax filing authorizing a designated representative of Sellers to sign and file the Pre-Closing Tax Returns, otherwise, Buyer agrees to sign and file the Pre-Closing Tax Returns.

11.4. Post-Closing Actions. Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates (including following the Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies) to (a) amend or re-file any Tax Return of the Acquired Companies that covers a Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Tax Return that was prepared and filed pursuant to Section 11.3 or file any Tax Return of the Acquired Companies with an initial due date on or before the Closing Date, (b) take any action relating to Taxes or that could create a Tax liability on the Closing Date (other than as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) that is outside the ordinary course of business, (c) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (d) voluntarily initiate any contact with any Taxing Authority with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies that were originally due on or before the Closing Date or (e) carryback any net operating losses to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Sellers shall be entitled to prepare and file amended Tax Returns for the Acquired Companies relating to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, including seeking Tax refunds, and Buyer shall fully cooperate with Sellers in filing such amended Tax Returns and, where required, have an appropriate officer sign such amended Tax Returns.

11.5. Tax Contests.

(a) Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by Buyer (or any Buyer Indemnitee) of written notice of any pending or threatened audits, adjustments, claims, examinations, assessments or other administrative or judicial proceedings with the purpose or effect of re-determining Taxes of or with respect to the Acquired Companies (including any administrative or judicial review of any claim for refund) for which Sellers may be required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (a “Tax Contest”), and shall provide Sellers with a copy of any such written notice. The failure of Buyer to provide a notification described in this Section 11.5 shall not release Sellers from their obligations hereunder except to the extent, and only to the extent, that Sellers are prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) Sellers shall have the right to control and defend the conduct of any Tax Contest covering any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date including the ongoing IRS audit and administrative proceeding of Perpetual Corporation and its subsidiaries for the tax years ending September 30, 2005 — 2008, (a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”) with counsel (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accountants and outside experts) of its choice; provided, however, that (i) Sellers shall keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of the Pre-Closing Tax Contest, (ii) Buyer may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense, and participate in the defense of the Pre-Closing Tax Contest, including having an opportunity to review and reasonably comment on any written materials prepared in connection with such Pre-Closing Tax Contest and the right to attend and participate in any conferences relating thereto and (iii) Sellers shall be entitled to settle or consent to the entry of any Order or other similar determination or finding with respect to such Pre-Closing Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Buyer if such settlement, Order or determination

does not result in an adverse adjustment to a Tax liability of the Acquired Companies for a Post-Closing Tax Period; however, if such settlement, Order or determination would result in an adverse adjustment to a Tax liability of the Acquired Companies for a Post-Closing Tax Period, Sellers cannot enter into such settlement, Order or determination without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Buyer shall have the right to control and defend (i) any Tax Contest covering any Straddle Period, (ii) any Tax Contest that is not a Pre-Closing Tax Contest and (iii) any Pre-Closing Tax Contest for which Sellers have not assumed its right to control and defend such Pre-Closing Tax Contest (each, an “Other Tax Contest”) with counsel (including, for the avoidance of doubt, accountants) of its choice, provided, however, that, with respect to any Tax items in the Other Tax Contest for which the resulting Tax liability Sellers would be required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, (x) Buyer shall keep Sellers reasonably informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest, (y) Sellers may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense, and participate in the defense of such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest, including having an opportunity to review and reasonably comment on any written materials prepared in connection with such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest and the right to attend and participate in any conferences relating thereto and (z) Buyer will not settle or consent to the entry of any Order or other similar determination or finding with respect to such Tax items in the Other Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Sellers (which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the term Tax Contest shall not include, and this Section 11.5 shall not apply to, any audits, adjustments, claims, examinations, assessments or other administrative or judicial proceedings with the purpose or effect of re-determining Taxes of or with respect to any Tax Return of the Allholdco affiliated group.

(e) Buyer shall provide Sellers with all powers of attorney on IRS FORM 2848 necessary to permit Sellers and Sellers’ representative the authority to conduct the Pre-Closing Tax Contests.

11.6. Refunds. The amount or economic benefit of any Tax refund (whether in cash or as a credit against or offset to any Tax) in respect of any Tax of the Acquired Companies attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period received by Buyer, the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates shall be for the account of Sellers, to the extent such refund exceeds the amount of the refund of such Taxes reflected as an asset on the books of the Acquired Companies which was included as an asset in the Final Net Working Capital Amount, and the recipient thereof shall pay such amount (including any interest received thereon) over to the Sellers within ten (10) days after any such refund is received, credited or applied as an offset, as the case may be. Buyer shall elect not to carry any loss, credit or other Tax benefit item from a taxable period (or portion thereof) that begins after the Closing Date back to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

11.7. Cooperation. Each of Buyer and Sellers, and each of their respective Affiliates, shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns of or with respect to the Acquired Companies and/or during the

course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of or attributable to the Acquired Companies. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each of Sellers and Buyer agrees, and following the Closing, Buyer agrees to cause the Acquired Companies, (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertaining to the Acquired Companies relating to any taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods; shall provide copies of the foregoing to Buyer upon Buyer’s request; and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give the other Party (and following the Closing, Buyer agrees to cause the Acquired Companies to give the Sellers) reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, on receipt of such notice, if the other Party so requests, Sellers or Buyer shall, as applicable, allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records. Buyer and Sellers agree that Sellers shall be entitled to retain copies of the books and records of the Acquired Companies which they believe are appropriate for the filing of Tax Returns and defending Tax Contests as described in this Article 11. Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

11.8. Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Sellers shall each be responsible for the payment of fifty percent (50%) of all governmental Taxes, fees and charges applicable to the transfer of the Equity Interests under this Agreement (including sales, use and real property transfer taxes, stamp and stock transfer taxes and the costs of recording or filing all applicable conveyance instruments) (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). At Buyer’s expense, Sellers will cooperate in Buyer’s preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns regarding Transfer Taxes and in seeking or perfecting any available exemption from Transfer Taxes.

11.9. Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

(a) Each of Allholdco and Buyer intend for the purchase and sale of the interests in Charleston TV to qualify as a “qualified stock purchase” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.338(h)(10)-1(c). Allholdco and Buyer shall make a joint election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and under any comparable provision of applicable state, local, and foreign Law with respect to Buyer’s purchase of the interests in Charleston TV (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Elections”). Buyer and Allholdco shall take all necessary steps and cooperate in good faith, including the exchange of information, to effect and preserve valid and timely a Section 338(h)(10) Election. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, each of Allholdco and Buyer agrees that (i) it shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, to report, act and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with a Section 338(h)(10) Election and (ii) it will not, and will not permit its Affiliates to, take any position that is inconsistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(b) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Allholdco an Internal Revenue Service Form 8023, Elections Under Section 338 for Corporations Making Qualified Stock Purchases, and any corresponding forms under comparable provisions of applicable state, local or foreign tax Law, in substance reasonably satisfactory to Allholdco (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election Forms”). At the Closing, Allholdco shall deliver to Buyer such Section 338(h)(10) Election Forms, duly executed. Allholdco authorizes Buyer to file each Section 338(h)(10) Election Form with the appropriate Taxing Authority on behalf of Allholdco and Buyer. Promptly following each such filing, Buyer shall provide Allholdco with a copy of such filed Section 338(h)(10) Election Forms. As reasonably requested from time to time by Buyer, Allholdco shall assist Buyer in, and shall provide the necessary information to Buyer, in connection with the preparation of any other forms and documentation required to effect valid and timely Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

11.10. Purchase Price Allocations.

(a) Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Allholdco an allocation schedule (the “Section 338 Allocation Schedule”) allocating the “aggregate deemed sales price” and the “adjusted grossed-up basis” (as defined under applicable Treasury Regulations) that results from the Section 338(h)(10) Elections among the assets of Charleston TV in accordance with Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(b) The Section 338 Allocation Schedule (the “Allocation Schedule,”) delivered by Buyer shall become final and binding upon Buyer and Allholdco on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date that such Allocation Schedule was delivered by Buyer to Allholdco, unless prior to such date Allholdco notifies Buyer of any reasonable objections to such Allocation Schedule (an “Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement”). An Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement shall specifically set forth all of Allholdco’s disputed items to the applicable Allocation Schedule, together with Allholdco’s proposed changes thereto, including an explanation in reasonable detail of the basis on which Allholdco proposes such changes. If Allholdco has delivered a timely Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement with respect to an Allocation Schedule, then Buyer and Allholdco shall use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items to determine the final and binding Allocation Schedule. If all of Allholdco’s disputed items with respect to an Allocation Schedule have not been resolved by Buyer and Allholdco by the sixtieth (60th) day following the date that Buyer receives the Allocation Schedule Notice of Disagreement with respect to such Allocation Schedule, then the parties shall have no further obligation under this Section 11.10(b), and each party shall make its own determination of such allocation with respect to such disputed items.

(c) Any adjustment of the Purchase Price, and to any other items of consideration, cost or expense taken into account in the Allocation Schedules for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedules that has become final and binding pursuant to this Section 11.10. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, (i) each of Buyer and Allholdco shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates, to report, act and file all Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Allocation Schedules determined to be final and binding pursuant to this Section 11.10 and

(ii) each of Buyer and Allholdco will not, and will not permit of any of its Affiliates to, take any position that is inconsistent with such final and binding Allocation Schedules.

11.11. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Each of Buyer and Allholdco agree that any indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated as Purchase Price adjustments for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and state, local, and foreign Tax purposes where applicable).

11.12. Consolidated Returns for Periods Through the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, Allholdco shall include all items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of Charleston TV and its Subsidiaries that are Acquired Companies for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date in the Allholdco affiliated group’s consolidated U.S. federal income Tax Return, subject to indemnification by Buyer as may be herein provided. Buyer and Charleston TV shall furnish Tax information to Allholdco as necessary or helpful with respect to the foregoing.

11.13. Intentionally Omitted.

11.14. Conflict. In the event of conflict between any of the provisions of this Article 11 and any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Article 11 shall control.

ARTICLE 12

TERMINATION AND REMEDIES

12.1. Termination. Subject to Section 12.3, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing as follows:

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

(b) by written notice from Buyer to Sellers if (i) Buyer is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) Sellers breach their representations or warranties, or default in the performance of their covenants, contained in this Agreement and (iii) all such breaches and defaults of Sellers that are not cured within the Cure Period would prevent the conditions to the obligations of Buyer set forth in Section 8.1 from being satisfied;

(c) by written notice from Sellers to Buyer if (i) Sellers are not in material breach of their obligations under this Agreement, (ii) Buyer breaches its representations or warranties, or defaults in the performance of its covenants, contained in this Agreement and (iii) all such Buyer breaches and defaults that are not cured within the Cure Period would prevent the conditions to the obligations of Sellers set forth in Section 7.1 from being satisfied; provided, however, that no Cure Period shall apply to Buyer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price at the Closing; or

(d) by written notice from Buyer to Sellers, or from Sellers to Buyer, if the Closing does not occur by the first anniversary of the date hereof (such date, the “Outside Date”), unless the Closing has not occurred by such date as a result of a material breach of this Agreement by the party providing such notice of termination; provided, however, that if, as of the Outside Date, all conditions to this Agreement have been satisfied or waived (other than

those that are to be satisfied by action taken at the Closing) other than the condition that the FCC Consent shall have become a Final Order (as set forth in Sections 7.3 and 8.3), then either Buyer or Sellers, may, by written notice to the other, elect to extend the Outside Date by a period of up to sixty (60) days so as to allow the FCC Consent to become a Final Order.

12.2. 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 Sellers receive 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 the 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 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Closing shall occur, subject to the satisfaction of the Closing conditions set forth herein, not later than such fifth (5th) Business Day after the scheduled Closing Date.

12.3. Termination and Survival. Subject to Sections 12.4, 12.5 and 12.6, the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party of any liability for a breach or default under this Agreement that occurred prior to the date of termination. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Article 1 (Definitions; Interpretation), Section 6.1 (Confidentiality), this Section 12.3, Section 12.5 (Liquidated Damages), Section 12.6 (Limitation on Seller Damages) and Article 13 (Miscellaneous) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

12.4. 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 2.7 and (b) a party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the obligation to consummate the Closing and pay the Purchase Price), if the conditions set forth in Article 7 or 8, as applicable, have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) or waived. In addition to the foregoing, the prevailing party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document shall be entitled to prompt payment on demand from the other party of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Closing occurs, Article 10

(Survival; Indemnification) shall govern with respect any Damages incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party.

12.5. Liquidated Damages.

(a) If Sellers terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(c), then within two (2) Business Days following the delivery to Buyer of notice of such termination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including any Cure Period, Buyer shall pay to Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Sellers in writing, cash in an amount equal to $39,400,000 (the “Liquidated Damages Amount”). In the event of such a termination, Sellers shall, in addition, be entitled to prompt payment on demand from Buyer of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by them in enforcing their rights under this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount 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 material breach or default under this Agreement, 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.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that this Section 12.5 in no way limits or restricts Sellers’ ability to exercise their rights to specific performance pursuant to Section 12.4 at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

12.6. Limitation on Seller Damages. If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(b), then the aggregate amount of losses and damages for which Sellers shall be liable to Buyer in the event of any breach or default by Sellers under this Agreement that occurred prior to the date of termination shall not exceed an amount equal to the Liquidated Damages Amount.

ARTICLE 13

MISCELLANEOUS

13.1. Expenses. Except as may be otherwise specified herein, each party shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, preparation and performance of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement. All governmental fees and charges applicable to any requests for Governmental Consents shall be paid one-half by Sellers and one-half by Buyer, except that if more than one HSR Act filing is necessary because a party has more than one ultimate parent entity, then such party shall pay the HSR Act filing fees for any additional filings. At Buyer’s expense, Sellers will cooperate in Buyer’s preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns regarding Transfer Taxes and in seeking or perfecting any available exemption from Transfer Taxes. Each party is responsible for any commission, brokerage fee, advisory fee or other similar payment that arises as a result of any agreement or action of it or any party acting on its behalf in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

13.2. Further Assurances. After the Closing, each party shall from time to time, at the request of and without further cost or expense to the other, execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance and assumption and take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary in order to more effectively consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

13.3. Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, provided, however, that Buyer may assign its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of Buyer upon written notice to Sellers, provided that (i) any such assignment does not delay the processing of the FCC Applications, the grant of the FCC Consent, the HSR Clearance or the Closing, (ii) any such assignee shall deliver to Sellers a written instrument of assumption with respect to this Agreement pursuant to which such assignee shall (x) make to Sellers the representations and warranties contained in Article 4 with respect to such assignee and (y) covenant to Sellers to observe, satisfy, discharge and perform the covenants of Buyer set forth in this Agreement and (iii) Buyer shall remain liable for all of its obligations hereunder (including those assigned to such assignee). With respect to any assignment permitted or required under this Section 13.3, (i) any such assignee shall deliver to Sellers a written instrument of assumption with respect to this Agreement in which such assignee (x) shall make to Sellers the representations and warranties contained in Article 4 of this Agreement with respect to such assignee and (y) shall covenant to Sellers to observe, satisfy, discharge and perform the covenants of Buyer set forth in this Agreement and (ii) Buyer shall remain liable for all of its obligations hereunder (including those assigned to such assignee), including the payment of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof. The terms of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors and any permitted assigns, and no assignment shall relieve any party of any obligation or liability under this Agreement.

13.5. 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.

13.6. Severability. If any Governmental Entity holds any provision in this Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any party or to any circumstance under any applicable Law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision or part of a provision had never been contained herein and such provision or part shall be reformed so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law; provided that any such reform or construction does not affect the economic or legal substance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in a manner adverse to either party and, if any such reform or construction does affect the economic or legal substance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in a manner adverse to either party, the parties shall negotiate in good faith a replacement provision for such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision which shall accomplish the original intention of the parties with respect to such provision to the greatest extent practicable.

13.7. No Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to give any rights to any Person other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.

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

(a) This Agreement and the negotiation, execution, performance or nonperformance, interpretation, termination, construction and all matters based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether arising at law or in equity (collectively, the “Covered Matters”), and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to the Covered Matters, except for documents, agreements and instruments that specify otherwise, 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 Chancery Court of the State of Delaware(or of the United States of America for the District of Delaware, to the extent the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction over any such Action, 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. 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. The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this Section 13.8 shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware, shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this Section 13.8 and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any third party.

(c) BUYER AND SELLERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF BUYER OR SELLERS IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

13.9. Neutral Construction. The parties hereto 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 all such parties, 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.

13.10. Cooperation. After the 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, 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 and the Acquired Companies shall make available the Station Employees to give depositions or testimony and shall furnish all documentary or other evidence that Sellers may reasonably request. Sellers 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 13.10.

13.11. Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, equityholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of Sellers or any of its Affiliates shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Sellers under this Agreement or for any claim (whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to “xxxxxx the corporate veil” or impose liability of an entity against its owners or Affiliates or otherwise), liability or any other obligation arising under, relating to, based on, in respect of, in connection with or by reason of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including its negotiation and/or execution.

13.12. Fiduciary Capacity. The parties hereto executing this Agreement as trustees or as independent co-executors of the Trusts which own shares of Perpetual Corp. are executing this Agreement solely in their respective capacities as trustees or as independent co-executors of such Trusts, and in no other capacity whatsoever and they shall have no individual or personal liability under this Agreement, and all liabilities while acting in a fiduciary capacity of any Trust hereunder and thereunder shall be limited to the assets of such Trust at the time such liability may be established.

13.13. 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 any party 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 electronic mail 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 electronic mail as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense.

13.14. 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 of the Buyer Ancillary Agreements or Seller Ancillary Agreements, or any other agreement executed on the date hereof or thereof in connection herewith or therewith).
