7
A. Any adjustments or prorations will, insofar as feasible, be determined
and paid on the Closing Date, with final settlement and payment being made in

B. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to
Seller a certificate (the "Closing Certificate"), signed by Buyer, providing a
compilation of the adjustments and prorations to be made pursuant to this
Section 2.4, together with such supporting evidence as Seller may reasonably
request. If Seller shall conclude that the Closing Certificate does not
accurately reflect the adjustments and prorations to be made pursuant to this
Section 2.4, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the
Closing Certificate, provide to Buyer its written statement of any discrepancies
believed to exist. If Seller notifies Buyer of its acceptance of Buyer's
calculation of the Purchase Price or if Seller fails to deliver its statement of
discrepancies within the 30-day period specified in the preceding sentence,
Buyer's determination of the Purchase Price shall be conclusive and binding on
the parties as of the last day of the 30-day period. Seller and Buyer shall
attempt jointly to resolve the discrepancies within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of Seller's discrepancy statement, which resolution, if achieved, shall
be binding upon all parties to this Agreement and not subject to dispute or
review. If the parties cannot resolve the discrepancy to their mutual
satisfaction within such fifteen (15) day period, Buyer or Seller may elect that
the parties, jointly designate a regional or local branch of a nationally known
independent public accounting firm to be retained to review the Closing
Certificate together with Seller's discrepancy statement and any other relevant
documents. The cost of retaining such independent public accounting firm shall
be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. Such firm shall report its conclusions as
to adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.4, which report shall be conclusive on
both parties to this Agreement and not subject to dispute or review. If, after
adjustment as appropriate with respect to the amount of the aforesaid
adjustments paid or credited at the Closing, Buyer is determined to owe an
amount to Seller, Buyer shall pay such amount to Seller, and if Seller is
determined to owe an amount to Buyer, Seller shall pay such amount thereof to
Buyer, in each case within ten (10) days of such determination, but subject to
Section 6.10.
2.5 Assumption of Liabilities and Obligations. As of the Closing Date,
Buyer shall pay, discharge and perform (i) all of the obligations and
liabilities of Seller under the Licenses and the
8
Assumed Contracts insofar as they relate to the time period on and after the
Closing Date and arise out of events occurring after the Closing Date, (ii) all
obligations and liabilities arising out of events occurring after the Closing
related to Buyer's ownership of the Assets or its conduct of the business or
operations of the Stations after the Closing, and (iii) all obligations and
liabilities for which Buyer receives a proration adjustment under Section 2.4.
All other obligations and liabilities of Seller, including (i) any obligations
under any Contract not included in the Assumed Contracts, (ii) any obligations
under the Assumed Contracts relating to the time period prior to the Closing

Seller, after due investigation, Seller has no liability relating to its
ownership and operation of any of the Stations under any Environmental Law. No
charge, complaint, action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, claim,
demand, or notice has been filed or commenced against Seller in connection with
its ownership or operation of any of the Stations alleging any failure to comply
with any Environmental Law.
3.17 Financial Statements. Seller has furnished Buyer with true and
complete copies of operating statements regarding the Stations for the calendar

and, as required, its predecessors-in-interest, have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and
maintained throughout the periods indicated, accurately reflect the books,
records, and accounts of the Stations (which books, records, and accounts are
complete and correct), are complete and correct in all material respects, and
present fairly the financial condition of the Stations as at their respective
dates and the results of operations for the periods then ended. None of the
Financial Statements understates the true costs and expenses of conducting the
business or operations of the Stations (except that trade and barter
transactions are not reflected in the Financial Statements), fails to disclose
any material contingent liabilities, or inflates the revenues of the Stations.
In addition, Seller has made available to Buyer operating statements regarding
the Stations prepared by their prior owners to the extent Seller has such
statements in its possession, but as to which Seller makes no representations or
warranties.
3.18 Taxes. There are no governmental investigations or other legal,
administrative, or tax proceedings pursuant to which Seller is or could be made
liable for any taxes, penalties, interest, or other charges, the liability for
which could extend to Buyer as transferee of the
16
business of the Stations, and no event has occurred that could impose on Buyer
any transferee liability for any taxes, penalties, or interest due or to become
due from Seller .
3.19 Conduct of Business in Ordinary Course. Since August 1, 1996, Seller
has conducted the business and operations of the Stations only in the ordinary
course and have not:
(a) Suffered any material adverse change in the business, assets, or
properties of any of the Stations, including any damage, destruction, or loss
affecting any assets used or useful in the conduct of the business of any of the
Stations;
(b) Made any material increase in compensation payable or to become

business;

settlement regarding the breach or infringement of, any license, patent,
copyright, trademark, trade name, franchise, or similar right, or modified any
existing right relating to any of the Stations.
3.20 Transactions with Affiliates. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.20,
Seller has not been involved in any business arrangement or relationship
relating to any of the Stations with
17
any affiliate of Seller, and no affiliate of Seller owns any property or right,
tangible or intangible, which is used in the business of any of the Stations.
3.21 Full Disclosure. No representation or warranty made by Seller in this
Agreement or in any certificate, document, or other instrument furnished or to

or adjust the amount of any such Account Receivable, except with the approval of
Seller. Buyer shall incur no liability to Seller for any uncollected account.
During the Collection Period, without specific agreement with Buyer to the
contrary, neither Seller nor its agents shall make any direct solicitation of

Act"). The waiting period under the HSR Act has expired without action by the
Department of Justice or the Federal Trade Commission to prevent the Closing.

the items of Personal Property listed on Schedule 3.6 represent Seller's good

(i) Buyer shall have notified Seller no later than thirty (30) days
after the date hereof of material environmental hazards (which shall mean

10.4 Procedures for Indemnification. The procedures for indemnification
shall be as follows:
A. The party claiming the indemnification (the "Claimant") shall
promptly give notice to the party from whom indemnification is claimed (the
"Indemnifying Party") of any claim, whether between the parties or brought by a
third party, specifying (i) the factual basis for such claim, and (ii) the
amount of the claim. If the claim relates to an action, suit or proceeding filed
by a third party against Claimant, such notice shall be given by Claimant within
five (5) days after written notice of such action, suit or proceeding was given
to Claimant.
B. Following receipt of notice from the Claimant of a claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days to make such investigation of the
claim as the Indemnifying Party deems necessary or desirable. For the purposes
of such investigation, the Claimant agrees to make available to the Indemnifying
Party and/or its authorized representative(s) the information relied upon by the
Claimant to substantiate the claim. If the
41
Claimant and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of said
thirty (30) day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the
validity and amount of such claim, or if the Indemnifying Party does not respond
to such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Claimant the
full amount of the claim. Buyer shall be entitled to apply any or all of the
Accounts Receivable collected on behalf of Seller to a claim as to which Buyer
is entitled to indemnification hereunder. If the Claimant and the Indemnifying
Party do not agree within said period (or any mutually agreed upon extension
thereof), the Claimant may seek appropriate legal remedy.
C. With respect to any claim by a third party as to which the Claimant
is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the
right at its own expense, to participate in or assume control of the defense of
such claim, and the Claimant shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party,
subject to reimbursement for reasonable actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Claimant as the result of a request by the Indemnifying Party. If the
Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense of any third-party
claim, the Claimant shall have the right to participate in the defense of such
claim at its own expense.
D. If a claim, whether between the parties or by a third party,
requires immediate action, the parties will make all reasonable efforts to reach
a decision with respect thereto as expeditiously as possible.
E. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control or
otherwise participate in the defense of any third party claim, it shall be bound
by the results obtained by the Claimant with respect to such claim.
F. The indemnification rights provided in Sections 10.2 and 10.3 shall
extend to the shareholders, directors, officers, partners employees and
representatives of the Claimant although for the purpose of the procedures set
forth in this Section 10.4, any indemnification claims by such parties shall be
made by and through the Claimant.
10.5 Limitation on Indemnification. Neither party shall be entitled to
indemnification hereunder for any losses, liabilities, or damages resulting from
any untrue representation or breach of warranty by the other party unless (i) a
claim for such losses, liabilities, or damages was made during the Survival
Period and (ii) the aggregate loss, damage or expense for all such claims
exceeds $33,000, in which event the indemnified party shall be entitled to
recover all such
42
loss, damage or expense. In no event shall the aggregate amount required to be
paid by either indemnifying party hereunder for any losses, liabilities, or
damages resulting from any untrue representation or breach of warranty by such
party exceed $3,300,000. The limitations in this Subsection 10.5 shall not apply
to any claim for indemnification for any liability of the Claimant to any third
party or to claims by Buyer arising from any defect in Seller's title to the
Assets.
