EXHIBITS Exhibit A - Certificate of the Secretary of Gray Exhibit B - Assignment and Assumption Agreement Exhibit C - Tax Sharing Agreement Exhibit D - Real Property Lease Exhibit E - Contribution Agreement Exhibit F - Certificate of the Secretary of TCM ii SEPARATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT This Separation and Distribution Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as of August 2, 2005, by and between Gray Television, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Gray"), and Triple Crown Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TCM"). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Section 9.18. RECITALS A. Gray owns all of the membership interests of Gray Publishing, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Gray Publishing"). B. Gray through Gray Publishing operates six regional publications comprising five daily newspapers and an advertising shopper (the "Newspaper Publishing Business"). C. Gray Publishing owns all of the membership interests of Graylink, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Graylink"). D. Graylink is a provider of wireless services, primarily paging services, in non-major metropolitan areas in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia and also owns and operates 14 retail locations in Alabama, Florida and Georgia (the "Graylink Wireless Business"). E. The Board of Directors of Gray has determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of Gray and its shareholders for Gray to transfer to TCM all of the membership interests of Gray Publishing. F. Gray has agreed to convey, assign and transfer to TCM all of the membership interests of Gray Publishing (collectively, the "Separation"). G. The Board of Directors of Gray has determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of Gray and its shareholders for Gray to distribute on a pro-rata basis to the holders of record of Gray Class A common stock, no par value ("Gray Class A Common Stock"), and Gray common stock, no par value ("Gray Common Stock" and with the Gray Class A Common Stock, the "Gray Stock"), without any consideration being paid by such holders, all of the outstanding shares of TCM common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "TCM Common Stock") owned by Gray (the "Distribution"), and this Agreement has been approved by the Board of Directors of Gray. H. In reaching its decision to approve the Separation and Distribution, the Board of Directors of Gray considered a variety of factors including the following: - as a result of the Separation and Distribution, Gray and TCM will be better able to focus financial and operational resources on its own business and executing its own strategic plan; 1 - as a result of the Separation and Distribution, Gray and TCM are expected to have greater strategic and financial flexibility to support future growth opportunities; - each business is in a different stage of development and therefore attracts different types of investors; - two separate public companies will enable financial markets to evaluate Gray and TCM more effectively, which is expected to maximize shareholder value over the long term for both Gray and TCM; - the Separation and Distribution will allow Gray and TCM to develop incentive programs for management and other professionals that are tailored to its own business and are tied to the market performance of its own common stock; - after the Separation and Distribution, Gray and TCM should have greater capital planning flexibility and the Newspaper Publishing Business and Graylink Wireless Business will no longer have to compete with Gray's television broadcasting business to secure funding for investments; and - that TCM would possess sufficient scale and business fundamentals to operate as a stand-alone entity. I. This Agreement and the Separation and Distribution have been approved by the special committee of the Board of Directors of TCM. J. This Agreement and the Separation and Distribution have been approved by the Board of Directors of TCM, consistent with the approval and recommendation of the special committee of the Board of Directors of TCM. K. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Separation and Distribution are intended to qualify as a divisive reorganization described in Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. L. The Board of Directors has determined that conversion price relating to the Series C preferred stock of Gray should be adjusted upon the consummation of the Distribution. M. The parties desire to set forth the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Separation and the Distribution and certain other agreements that will govern the relationship of Gray and TCM following the Distribution.

Accrued Vacation. Gray and TCM agree that all accrued vacation for Transferred Employees as of the Separation Date shall be TCM's obligation. 4.8. Stock Option Plan. Immediately prior to, and subject to, the Distribution, Gray shall cause each outstanding nonqualified option to purchase shares of Gray Common Stock that was granted under the Gray 2002 Long Term Incentive Plan on or before the Distribution Date to a Transferred Employee to be become fully vested on the Distribution Date, and to continue to be exercisable until the original expiration date. Prior to the Separation, Gray shall prepare the appropriate documents and use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary, to the extent possible, to effectuate the intent of this Section 4.8. 4.9. Workers' Compensation. TCM shall assume the liability for any workers' compensation or similar workers' protection claims with respect to any employee of the Newspaper Publishing Business and Graylink Wireless Business, whether incurred prior to, on, or after the Distribution Date, which are the result of an injury or illness originating prior to or on the Distribution Date. 12 4.10. WARN Act. TCM and its Subsidiaries agree that they shall not, at any time during the 90-day period following the Distribution Date, (i) effectuate a "plant closing" as defined in the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 (the "WARN Act") affecting any site of employment or operating units within any site of employment of the Newspaper Publishing Business and Graylink Wireless Business, or (ii) take any action to precipitate a "mass layoff" as defined in the WARN Act affecting any site of employment of the Newspaper Publishing Business and Graylink Wireless Business, except, in either case, after complying fully with the notice and other requirements of the WARN Act. TCM agrees to indemnify Gray and its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors and to defend and hold harmless Gray and its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses, obligations and liabilities (including attorney's fees and other costs of defense) that Gray and its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors may incur in connection with any suit or claim of violation brought against Gray under the WARN Act, which relates in whole or in part to actions taken by TCM or its Subsidiaries with regard to any site of employment of TCM or operating units within any site of employment of the Newspaper Publishing Business and Graylink Wireless Business. 4.11. Information to be Provided. Each party and its Subsidiaries shall provide any information that the other party may reasonably request, including, but not limited to, information relating to dates of termination of employment, in order to provide benefits to any eligible employee of TCM or any of its Subsidiaries under the terms and conditions of this Agreement or under the applicable Gray Plans. 4.12. No Right to Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement will confer upon any Transferred Employees any rights or remedies, including, without limitation, any right to employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever, under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any employee benefit plan or program for the Transferred Employees established by TCM may be amended or terminated by TCM in accordance with its terms and applicable law. SECTION 5 INSURANCE MATTERS 5.1. Insurance Prior to the Distribution Date. Gray shall not have any liability whatsoever to TCM as a result of the insurance policies and practices of Gray in effect at any time at or prior to the Distribution Date, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, and the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise. 5.2. Ownership of Existing Policies and Programs. Gray or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall continue to own all property, casualty and liability insurance policies and programs, including, without limitation, primary and excess general liability, errors and omissions, automobile, workers' compensation, property, fire, crime and surety insurance policies, in effect on or before the Distribution Date (collectively, the "Gray Policies" and individually, a "Gray Policy"). Gray shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Gray Policies in full force and effect up to and including the Distribution Date, and, subject to 13 the provisions of this Agreement, Gray and its Subsidiaries shall retain all of their respective rights, benefits and privileges, if any, under the Gray Policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to be an attempted assignment, or to change the ownership, of the Gray Policies. 5.3. Naming of TCM as Additional Insured. To the extent not already provided for by the terms of a Gray Policy, Gray shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause TCM to be named as an additional insured under the Gray Policies whose effective policy periods include the Distribution Date, in respect of claims arising out of or relating to periods prior to the Distribution Date. 5.4. TCM Insurance Policies. Commencing on and as of the Distribution Date, TCM shall be responsible for establishing and maintaining separate property, casualty and liability insurance policies and programs for activities and claims involving TCM or any of its Subsidiaries. TCM will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to secure liability insurance to avoid potential gaps in coverage. TCM and each of its Subsidiaries, as appropriate, shall be responsible for all administrative and financial matters relating to insurance policies established and maintained by TCM and its Subsidiaries for claims relating to any period on or after the Distribution Date involving TCM or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any other agreement or understanding to the contrary, except as set forth in Section 5.6 with respect to claims administration and financial administration of the Gray Policies, neither Gray nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any responsibility for or obligation to TCM or any of its Subsidiaries relating to property and casualty insurance matters for any period, whether prior to, on, or after the Distribution Date. 5.5. TCM Directors' and Officers' Insurance. Gray shall cause to be maintained for a period of six years from the Distribution Date, Gray's current directors' and officers' insurance and indemnification policies and fiduciary liability policies ("D&O Insurance"), provided that, Gray may substitute therefor, at is election, policies or financial guarantees with the same carriers or other reputable and financially sound carriers of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous that the existing D&O Insurance, to the extent that such insurance policies provide coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Distribution Date for all persons who are directors and officers of TCM on the date of this Agreement (or were such prior to the date of this Agreement), so long as the annual premium after the date of this Agreement for such D&O Insurance during such six-year period would not exceed 300% of the annual premium as of the date of this Agreement. If, during such six-year period, such insurance coverage can only be obtained for an amount in excess of 300% of the annual premium therefor as of the date of this Agreement, Gray shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause insurance coverage at a reduced face amount to be obtained for an amount equal to 300% of the current annual premium therefore, on terms and conditions substantially similar to the existing D&O Insurance. Set forth in Schedule 5.5 is the amount of the annual premium currently paid by Gray for its D&O Insurance. In the event Gray or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Gray assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5. The provisions of this 14 Section 5.5 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each officer and director of TCM on the date of this Agreement (or prior to the date of this Agreement) and his or her heirs and representatives. 5.6. Post-Distribution Insurance Claims Administration. Upon notification by TCM or one of its Subsidiaries of a claim relating to TCM or one of its Subsidiaries under one or more of the Gray Policies, Gray shall cooperate with TCM in asserting and pursuing coverage and payment for such claim by the appropriate insurance carrier(s). In asserting and pursuing such coverage and payment, Gray and TCM shall jointly make all decisions, determinations, commitments and stipulations concerning any such claims on its own behalf and on behalf of TCM and its Subsidiaries, which decisions, determinations, commitments and stipulations shall be final and conclusive if reasonably made to maximize the overall economic benefit of the Gray Policies. TCM and its Subsidiaries shall assume responsibility for, and shall pay to the appropriate insurance carriers or otherwise, any premiums, defense costs, indemnity payments, deductibles, retentions or other charges (collectively, "Insurance Charges") whenever arising, which shall become due and payable under the terms and conditions of any applicable Gray Policy in respect of any claims made by TCM or one of its Subsidiaries under the Gray Policies, whether the same relate to the period prior to, on, or after the Distribution Date. To the extent that the terms of any applicable Gray Policy provide that Gray or any of its Subsidiaries shall have an obligation to pay or guarantee the payment of any Insurance Charges relating to TCM or any of its Subsidiaries, Gray shall be entitled to demand that TCM make such payment directly to the Person or entity entitled thereto. In connection with any such demand, Gray shall submit to TCM a copy of any invoice received by Gray pertaining to such Insurance Charges together with appropriate supporting documentation, to the extent available. In the event that TCM fails to pay any such Insurance Charges when due and payable, whether at the request of the Person entitled to payment or upon demand by Gray, Gray and its Subsidiaries may (but shall not be required to) pay such Insurance Charges for and on behalf of TCM and, thereafter, TCM shall forthwith reimburse Gray for such payment. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5, the retention by Gray of the Gray Policies and the responsibility for claims administration and financial administration of such policies are in no way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right of TCM, Gray or any other insured to insurance coverage for any insured claims under the Gray Policies. 5.7. Non-Waiver of Rights to Coverage. An insurance carrier that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto, or, solely by virtue of the provisions of this Section 5, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and agreed that no insurance carrier nor any third party shall be entitled to a benefit that they would not be entitled to receive had no Distribution occurred or in the absence of the provisions of this Section 5. 5.8. Scope of Affected Policies of Insurance. The provisions of this Section 5 relate solely to matters involving liability, casualty and workers' compensation insurance and shall not be construed to affect any obligation of or impose any obligation on the parties with respect to any life, health and accident, dental or medical insurance policies applicable to any of the officers, directors, employees or other representatives of the parties or their Subsidiaries. 15 SECTION 6 CERTAIN COVENANTS 6.1. Further Instruments; Consents. (a) In addition to the specific agreements, documents, and instruments attached to this Agreement, Gray and TCM shall execute or cause to be executed by the appropriate parties and deliver, as appropriate, such other agreements, instruments and documents as may be necessary or desirable in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Neither Gray nor TCM shall be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend money other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys' fees, and recording or similar fees. Furthermore, each party, at the request of the other party hereto, shall do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) Gray shall use reasonable efforts (but Gray shall not be required to make any payment), to obtain at the earliest practicable date all consents and approvals referred to in Section 3.3(e)(ii). If, with respect to any Assigned Contract or any agreement, lease or commitment of Gray Publishing and its Subsidiaries, a required consent to the transfer of the membership interests of Gray Publishing is not obtained (and, accordingly, pursuant to section 1.2(d), the agreement, lease or commitment is excluded from the contribution to TCM), Gray shall use reasonable efforts (but Gray shall not be required to make any payment), to keep it in effect and give TCM the benefit of it to the same extent as if it had been assigned, without any additional cost to TCM in excess of the amount for which it would have been responsible had such contract been assigned. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt to assign any agreement or other instrument that is by its terms nonassignable without the consent of the other party. 6.2. Exchange of Information. (a) General. Each of Gray and TCM, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the other, at any time before or after the Distribution Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any Information in the possession or under the control of such party that the requesting party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting party (including under applicable securities laws) by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting party, (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation or other similar requirements, (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or (iv) in connection with the ongoing businesses of Gray or TCM, as the case may be; provided, however, that in the event that any party determines that any such provision of Information could be commercially detrimental, violate any law or agreement, or waive any attorney-client privilege, the parties shall take all reasonable measures to permit the compliance with such obligations in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. 16 (b) Internal Accounting Controls; Financial Information. After the Separation Date, (i) each party shall maintain in effect at its own cost and expense adequate systems and controls for its business to the extent necessary to enable the other party to satisfy its reporting, accounting, audit and other obligations, and (ii) each party shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the other party and its Subsidiaries in such form as such requesting party shall request, at no charge to the requesting party, all financial and other data and Information as the requesting party determines necessary or advisable in order to prepare its financial statements and reports or filings with any Governmental Authority. (c) Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by a party that is provided to a requesting party pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing party. Unless specifically set forth in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information. (d) Record Retention. To facilitate the possible exchange of Information pursuant to this Section 6.2 and other provisions of this Agreement after the Distribution Date, the parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to retain all Information in their respective possession or control on the Distribution Date in accordance with the policies of Gray as in effect on the Distribution Date or such other policies as may be reasonably adopted by the applicable party after the Distribution Date. No party will destroy, or permit any of its affiliates to destroy, any Information which the other party may have the right to obtain pursuant to this Agreement prior to the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement without first using its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other party of the proposed destruction and giving the other party the opportunity to take possession of such Information prior to such destruction; provided, however, that in the case of any Information relating to taxes, employee benefits or environmental liabilities, such period shall be extended to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extensions thereof); provided further, however, that in the event that any such Information is also subject to a retention requirement contained in any Ancillary Agreement that is longer than the requirement set forth in this Section 6.2, then the requirement in such Ancillary Agreement shall control. (e) Limitation of Liability. No party shall have any liability to any other party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Section 6.2 is found to be inaccurate, in the absence of willful misconduct by the party providing such Information. No party shall have any liability to any other party if any Information is destroyed or lost after commercially reasonable efforts by such party to comply with the provisions of Section 6.2(d). (f) Other Agreements Providing for Exchange of Information. The rights and obligations granted under this Section 6.2 are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications, or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange, or confidential treatment of Information set forth in this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement. (g) Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation. After the Distribution Date, except in the case of a legal or other proceeding by one party against another party (which shall be governed by such discovery rules as may be applicable under Section 8 or 17 otherwise), each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other party, upon written request, the former, current, and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel, and agents of such party as witnesses and any books, records, or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel, and agents) or books, records, or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative, or other proceeding in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such legal, administrative, or other proceeding is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought. The requesting party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith. 6.3. Privileged Matters. (a) Preservation of Privileges. The parties each agree that they will maintain, preserve, and assert all privileges, including, without limitation, privileges arising under or relating to the attorney-client relationship (which shall include, without limitation, the attorney-client and work product privileges), that relate directly or indirectly to such party for any period prior to the Distribution Date ("Privilege" or "Privileges"). Neither party shall waive any Privilege that could be asserted under applicable law without the prior written consent of the other party. The rights and obligations created by this Section 6.3 shall apply to all Information as to which, but for the Distribution, a party would have been entitled to assert or did assert the protection of a Privilege ("Privileged Information"), including, but not limited to, (i) any and all Information generated prior to the Distribution Date but which, after the Distribution, is in the possession of the other party; (ii) all communications subject to a Privilege occurring prior to the Distribution Date between counsel for such party and any person who, at the time of the communication, was an employee of such party, regardless of whether such employee is or becomes an employee of the other party; and (iii) all Information generated, received, or arising after the Distribution Date that refers or relates to Privileged Information generated, received, or arising prior to the Distribution Date. (b) Notices. Upon receipt by a party or any of its Subsidiaries of any subpoena, discovery, or other request that arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information or if such party or any of its Subsidiaries obtains knowledge that any current or former employee of such party or any of its Subsidiaries has received any subpoena, discovery, or other request that arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information, such party shall promptly notify the other party of the existence of the request and shall provide the other party a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 6.3 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Information. Neither party will produce or disclose any Information arguably covered by a Privilege under this Section 6.3 unless (i) the other party has provided its express written consent to such production or disclosure, or (ii) unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of its independent legal counsel, by other requirements of law. (c) Access Not a Waiver. The access to Information being granted pursuant to Section 18 6.2, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 6.2, and the transfer of Privileged Information pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 6.3 or otherwise. 6.4. Certain Business Matters. No party shall have any duty to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as the other party, (ii) doing business with any potential or actual supplier or customer of the other party or (iii) engaging in, or refraining from, any other activities whatsoever relating to any potential or actual suppliers or customers of the other party. 6.5. Payment Obligations. On the Separation Date, TCM shall pay, or shall cause Gray Publishing to pay, the balance due as of the Separation Date under that certain promissory note dated as of December 31, 2004, by and between Gray Publishing and Gray Television Group, Inc. (the "Promissory Note") to Gray Television Group, Inc., which payment shall be in complete satisfaction of Gray Publishing's obligations under the Promissory Note. In addition, on the Separation Date, in partial consideration of the transfer of the membership interests and other assets to TCM under Section 1.1, TCM shall distribute to Gray an amount equal to the difference between (i) $40.0 million and (ii) the amount paid to Gray Television Group, Inc. pursuant to the Promissory Note. 6.6. Reimbursement Obligations. Following the Distribution, TCM shall promptly reimburse Gray for any amounts paid, from time to time, by Gray pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee and Acknowledgment dated June 9, 2005 made by Gray and the special committee of the Board of Directors of Gray in favor of Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Capital, Inc. and its affiliates. SECTION 7 INDEMNIFICATION 7.1. Indemnification by Gray. Gray shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TCM and its Subsidiaries, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, counsel, and agents (the "TCM Indemnitees") from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by any TCM Indemnitee in connection with any Action or threatened Action and arising out of or due to, directly or indirectly, (i) any of the Retained Assets, (ii) any of the Assumed Liabilities or (iii) any failure to perform, or violation of, any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that is to be performed or complied with by Gray or its Subsidiaries (other than TCM and its Subsidiaries). 7.2. Indemnification by TCM. TCM shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Gray and its Subsidiaries, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, counsel, and agents (the "Gray Indemnitees") from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses incurred or suffered by any Gray Indemnitee in connection with any Action or threatened Action and arising out of or due to, directly or indirectly, (i) the Newspaper Publishing Business, (ii) Graylink Wireless Business, (iii) the Assigned Contracts, (iv) the Assigned Real Property, or (v) any failure to perform, or violation of, any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that is to be performed or complied with by TCM or its Subsidiaries. 7.3. Procedure for Indemnification. 19 (a) General. The following procedures shall apply to any claim for indemnification made pursuant to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 and pursuant to any indemnities provided in any Ancillary Agreement. (b) Notices. If a Gray Indemnitee or TCM Indemnitee shall receive notice of any Action by any third party, or any fact or allegation upon which such Action could be based (hereinafter a "Third Party Claim"), with respect to which an Indemnifying Party is or may be obligated to make an Indemnity Payment, it shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice thereof (including any pleadings relating thereto), specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such Third Party Claim and the amount or estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Indemnity Payment); provided, however, that the failure of an Indemnitee to give notice as provided in this Section 7.3 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Section 7, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. (c) Defense. For any Third Party Claim upon which notice is required to be given under Section 7.3(b), the Indemnifying Party shall defend such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense and through counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. Within 30 days of receipt of the notice of the Third Party Claim received under Section 7.3(b), the Indemnifying Party shall give notice of its intent to defend or objection to the claim of indemnification specifying in reasonable detail the grounds therefor. Failure to provide such notice within such 30-day period shall be deemed an acknowledgment by the Indemnifying Party of its indemnity obligation for the Third Party Claim. (d) Settlement. The Indemnifying Party's right to defend any Third Party Claim includes the right to control, manage, and direct the defense of the Third Party Claim and to compromise, settle, or consent to the entry of any judgment or determination of liability concerning such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not compromise, settle, or consent to the entry of judgment or determination of liability against the Indemnitee without prior written approval by the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party shall seek the approval of the Indemnitee to a settlement for monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party accepts responsibility and if the Indemnitee shall withhold or unreasonably delay approval of such settlement, then the obligation of the Indemnifying Party shall be limited to the amount of the proposed and unapproved settlement, plus attorney's fees and costs to the date of the proposed settlement, and the Indemnitee shall be solely responsible for any additional amount. (e) Participation. The Indemnitee may participate in the Indemnifying Party's defense of any Third Party Claim in which the Indemnitee has an interest and be represented by counsel of its own choosing at the Indemnitee's sole cost and expense. (f) Failure to Defend. If the Indemnifying Party fails to defend a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee may defend and may compromise and settle or consent to an entry of judgment or a determination of liability concerning such Third Party Claim at the sole 20 cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not compromise, settle, or consent to the entry of judgment or determination of liability against the Indemnitee without prior written approval by the Indemnifying Party, unless such approval is unreasonably withheld or delayed. (g) Access to Information. Regardless of the party that defends a Third Party Claim, the other shall make available to the Indemnifying Party all employees, Information, books and records, communications, and documents, within its possession or control, that are necessary, appropriate or reasonably deemed relevant with respect to such defense, and otherwise shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of the Third Party Claim. (h) Release of Liability. With respect to any Third Party Claim, no Indemnifying Party or Indemnitee shall enter into any compromise, settlement, or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the third party of a release of the Indemnitee from all further liability concerning such Third Party Claim. (i) Payment. Upon final judgment after exhaustion of all appeals, settlement, compromise, or other final resolution of any Third Party Claim, and unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the Indemnifying Party shall pay promptly on behalf of the Indemnitee, or to the Indemnitee in reimbursement of any amount theretofore required to be paid by it, the amount so determined by final judgment after exhaustion of all appeals, settlement, compromise, or final resolution. Upon the payment in full by the Indemnifying Party of such amount, the Indemnifying Party shall succeed to the rights of such Indemnitee, to the extent not waived in settlement, against any third party. 7.4. Direct Claims. Any claim for indemnity pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 on account of an Indemnifiable Loss made directly by the Indemnitee against the Indemnifying Party that does not result from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice from the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 90 days (or such shorter time period as may be required by law as indicated by the Indemnitee in the written notice) within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 90-day (or lesser) period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility to make payment and shall have no further right to contest the validity of such claim. If such Indemnifying Party does respond within such 90-day (or lesser) period and rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue resolution as provided in Section 8. 7.5. Adjustment of Indemnifiable Losses. The amount that an Indemnifying Party is required to pay to an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall be reduced (including, without limitation, retroactively) by any insurance proceeds and other amounts actually recovered by such Indemnitee in reduction of the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee shall have received an Indemnity Payment in respect of an Indemnifiable Loss and shall subsequently actually receive insurance proceeds or other amounts in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss, then such Indemnitee shall pay to such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the lesser of the amount of such insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received or the net amount of Indemnity Payments actually received previously. 21 7.6. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Section 7, the indemnification provided for by this Section 7 shall not inure to the benefit of any third party or parties and shall not relieve any insurer or other third party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, provide any subrogation rights with respect thereto, and each party agrees to waive such rights against the other to the fullest extent permitted. SECTION 8 DISPUTE RESOLUTION 8.1. General. The resolution of any and all disputes arising from or in connection with this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort or otherwise (collectively, "Disputes"), shall be exclusively governed by and settled in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8. 8.2. Negotiation. The parties shall make a good faith attempt to resolve any Dispute through negotiation. Within 30 days after notice of a Dispute is given by either party to the other party, each party shall select a negotiating team comprised of two or more vice president-level employees of such party and shall meet within 30 days after the end of the first 30-day negotiating period to attempt to resolve the matter. During the course of negotiations under this Section 8.2, all reasonable requests made by one party to the other for Information, including requests for copies of relevant documents, will be honored. The specific format for such negotiations will be left to the discretion of the designated negotiating teams but may include the preparation of agreed-upon statements of fact or written statements of position furnished to the other party. 8.3. Non-Binding Mediation. In the event that any Dispute is not settled by the parties within 30 days after the first meeting of the negotiating teams under Section 8.2, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by non-binding mediation in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Commercial Mediation Rules. The mediation shall be held within 60 days of the end of such 30-day negotiation period of the negotiating teams. Except as provided below in Section 8.4, no litigation for the resolution of such dispute may be commenced until the parties attempt in good faith to settle the dispute by such mediation in accordance with such rules and either party has concluded in good faith that amicable resolution through continued mediation of the matter does not appear likely. The costs of mediation shall be shared equally by the parties to the mediation. Any settlement reached by mediation shall be recorded in writing, signed by the parties, and shall be binding on them. 8.4. Proceedings. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit either party from initiating litigation or other judicial or administrative proceedings if such party would be substantially harmed by a failure to act during the time that such good faith efforts are being made to resolve the Dispute through negotiation or mediation. In the event that litigation is commenced under this Section 8.4, the parties agree to continue to attempt to resolve any Dispute according to the terms of Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 during the course of such litigation proceedings under this Section 8.4. 22 8.5. Pay and Dispute. Except as provided in this Agreement, in the event of any dispute regarding payment of a third-party invoice (subject to standard verification of receipt of products or services), the party named in a third party's invoice must make timely payment to such third party, even if the party named in the invoice desires to pursue the dispute resolution procedures outlined in this Section 8. If the party that paid the invoice is found pursuant to this Section 8 to not be responsible for such payment, such paying party shall be entitled to reimbursement, with interest accrued at a compound annual rate of the Prime Rate, from the party found responsible for such payment. SECTION 9 MISCELLANEOUS 9.1. Representations and Warranties of Gray.(a) Gray represents and warrants that immediately following the Separation, TCM shall have all of the assets (tangible and intangible) necessary for the conduct of the Newspaper Publishing Business and Graylink Wireless Business in the manner in which it was conducted by Gray on the date of this Agreement and as such businesses are proposed to be conducted by TCM following the Distribution, except for the assets referred to in Section 1.2. (b) TCM acknowledges that the assets of the Newspaper Publishing Business and Graylink Wireless Business are being transferred "as is, where is" and that Gray is not, in this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or in any other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, including without limitation, registration statement on Form S-4 and the proxy statement/prospectus/information statement representing or warranting in any way the value or freedom from encumbrance of, or any other matter concerning, any assets of the Newspaper Publishing Business or Graylink Wireless Business.
