unreasonably withheld, Seller shall:
(a) operate the Station in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice and in all material respects in accordance with
FCC rules and regulations and with all other applicable laws, regulations, rules
and orders;
(b) not, other than in the ordinary course of business in
accordance with past practice, sell, lease or dispose of or agree to sell, lease
or dispose of any of the Station Assets, or create, assume or permit to exist
any Liens upon the Station Assets, except for Permitted Liens; and,
(c) furnish Buyer with such information relating to the Station
Assets as Buyer may reasonably request, and permit Buyer's on-site access to the
Station Assets with Seller's prior approval after the FCC Application is filed,
at Buyer's expense and provided such request and on-site visits do not interfere
unreasonably with the business of the Station;
(d) Seller will, upon Buyer's request and for each month following
the date hereof, provide to Buyer copies of the unaudited results of operations
of the Station for which such reports are generated for each month between the
date hereof and the Closing Date prepared in accordance with the books and
records of the Station.
9.2. Audit. Seller shall cooperate, and use its reasonable best efforts
to cause its
<PAGE> 11
independent auditors to reasonably cooperate, with Buyer in order to enable
Buyer to have independent auditors selected by Buyer, and at Buyer's expense,
prepare audited financial statements for the Station for the three most recently
completed fiscal year-ends. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Seller agrees that it will consent to the use of such audited financial
statements in any registration statement or other document filed by Buyer under
Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Seller shall
give or cause the Station to give Buyer and Buyer's accountants, at Buyer's
expense, and reasonable request and upon reasonable notice, full and reasonable
access during normal business hours to Seller's financial records that Buyer may
reasonably request. The rights of Buyer under this Section shall not be
exercised in such a manner as to interfere unreasonably with the business of the
Station.
ARTICLE 10: JOINT COVENANTS
Buyer and Seller hereby covenant and agree that between the date hereof
and Closing:
10.1. Cooperation. Subject to express limitations contained elsewhere
herein, each party (i) shall cooperate fully with one another in taking any
reasonable actions (including without limitation, reasonable actions to obtain
the required consent of any governmental instrumentality or any third party)
necessary or helpful to accomplish the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including but not limited to the prompt satisfaction of any condition
to Closing set forth herein, and (ii) shall not take any action that conflicts
with its obligations hereunder or that causes its representations and warranties
to become untrue in any material respect.
10.2. Control of Station. Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly,
control, supervise or direct the operations of the Station prior to Closing.
Such operations, including complete control and supervision of all Station
programs, employees and policies, shall be the sole responsibility of Seller.
10.3. Consents to Assignment. The parties shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain any third party consents necessary for the
assignment of any Station Contract (which shall not require any payment to any
such third party). To the extent that any Station Contract may not be assigned
without the consent of any third party, and such consent is not obtained prior
to Closing, this Agreement and any assignment executed pursuant hereto shall not
constitute an assignment thereof, but to the extent permitted by law shall
constitute an equitable assignment by Seller and assumption by Buyer of Seller's
rights and obligations under the applicable Station Contract, with Seller making
available to Buyer the benefits thereof and Buyer performing the obligations
thereunder on Seller's behalf, provided, however, that Seller shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all losses, costs,
damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, incurred by Buyer during the first six (6) months following the
Closing Date as a result of Seller's failure to have obtained a consent to
assignment with respect to the lease for the main transmitter site listed on
Schedule 1.1(f) from which the Station's signals are broadcast. Seller shall be
released from all indemnification obligations with respect to Seller's failure
to have obtained a consent to assignment with respect to any of the leases for
the main transmitter sites from which the Station's signals are broadcast six
(6) months after the Closing Date.
<PAGE> 12
10.4. Employee Matters.
(a) Prior to Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a list of
employees of the Station that Seller does not intend to retain after Closing.
Buyer may interview and elect to hire such listed employees, but not any other
employees of Seller. Buyer is obligated to hire only those employees that are
under employment contracts (and assume Seller's obligations and liabilities
under such employment contracts) which are included in the Station Contracts.
With respect to employees hired by Buyer ("Transferred Employees"), to the
extent permitted by law, Seller shall provide Buyer access to its personnel
records and such other information as Buyer may reasonably request prior to
Closing. With respect to such hired employees, Seller shall be responsible for
the payment of all compensation and accrued employee benefits payable by it
until Closing and thereafter Buyer shall be responsible for all such obligations
payable by it. Buyer shall cause all employees it hires to be eligible to
participate in its "employee welfare benefit plans" and "employee pension
benefit plans" (as defined in Section 3(1) and 3(2) of ERISA, respectively) in
which similarly situated employees are generally eligible to participate;
provided, however, that all such employees and their spouses and dependents
shall be eligible for coverage immediately after Closing (and shall not be
excluded from coverage on account of any pre-existing condition) to the extent
provided under such plans. For purposes of any length of service requirements,
waiting periods, vesting periods or differential benefits based on length of
service in any such plan for which such employees may be eligible after Closing,
Buyer shall ensure that service with Seller shall be deemed to have been service
with the Buyer. In addition, Buyer shall ensure that each such employee receives
credit under any welfare benefit plan of Buyer for any deductibles or
co-payments paid by such employees and dependents for the current plan year
under a plan maintained by Seller. Notwithstanding any other provision contained
herein, Buyer shall grant credit to each such employee for all unused sick leave
accrued as of Closing as an employee of Seller. Buyer shall assume and discharge
Seller's liabilities for the payment of all unused vacation leave accrued by
such employees as of Closing.
(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall cooperate with the
reasonable requests of Seller to continue to withhold from the pay checks of
Transferred Employees' who have outstanding loan balances in Seller's 401(k)
Savings Plan and Buyer shall remit such withheld amounts to Seller in a timely
fashion such that the outstanding loans do not go into default.
10.5. 1031 Exchange. At or prior to Closing, Seller may assign its
rights under this Agreement (in whole or in part) to a qualified intermediary
(as defined in Treasury regulation section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)) or similar entity
or arrangement ("Qualified Intermediary"). Upon any such assignment, Seller
shall promptly give written notice thereof to Buyer, and Buyer shall cooperate
with the reasonable requests of Seller and any Qualified Intermediary in
connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
Seller gives notice of such assignment, Buyer shall (i) promptly provide Seller
with written acknowledgment of such notice and (ii) at Closing, pay the Purchase
Price (or any portion thereof designated by the Qualified
<PAGE> 13
Intermediary) to or on behalf of the Qualified Intermediary (which payment
shall, to the extent thereof, satisfy the obligations of Buyer to make such
payment hereunder). Seller's assignment to a Qualified Intermediary will not
relieve Seller of any of its duties or obligations herein. Except for the
obligations of Buyer set forth in this Section, Buyer shall not have any
liability or obligation to Seller for the failure of the contemplated exchange
to qualify as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue
Code unless such failure is the result of the material breach or default by
Buyer under this Agreement.
10.6. Trust. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, Seller may at it option assign this Agreement (in whole or part) and
assign and transfer the Station Assets (in whole or in part) to a trustee to
hold and operate pursuant to a trust agreement, provided such trustee assumes
Seller's duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the Station Assets
held in such trust.
10.7. Environmental Report. After the filing of the FCC Application and
the public announcement of the execution of this Agreement, Seller will
cooperate with Buyer or Buyer's independent contractor for full access to the
Owned Real Property and Real Property Leases, and reasonable access to all
documents and employees relating to, or who have knowledge of, environmental
matters with respect to the Station.

ARTICLE 15: SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION.
15.1. Survival. The covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties in this Agreement shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12)
months from the Closing Date whereupon they shall expire and be of no further
force or effect, except those under (i) this Article 15 that relate to Damages
(defined below) for which written notice is given by the indemnified party to
the indemnifying party prior to the expiration, which shall survive until
resolved and (ii) Sections 2.1 (Assumed Obligations), 3.3 (Adjustments), 3.4
(Allocation), 8.1 (Accounts Receivable) and 13.1 (Expenses), and indemnification
obligations with respect to such provisions, all of which shall survive until

15.2. Indemnification.
(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall defend, indemnify
and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all losses, costs, damages,
liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
("Damages") incurred by Buyer arising out of or resulting from: (i) any breach
or default by Seller under this Agreement; (ii) the Retained Obligations; or
(iii) the business or operation of the Station before Closing; provided that (i)
Seller shall have no liability to Buyer hereunder until, and only to the extent
that, Buyer's aggregate Damages exceed $75,000 and (ii) the maximum liability of
Seller hereunder shall be $500,000.
(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Seller from and against any and all Damages incurred by Seller
arising out of or resulting from: (i) any breach or default by Buyer under this
Agreement; (ii) the Assumed Obligations; or (iii) the business or operation of

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