Upon the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the amount of the Escrow Deposit plus all interest and income earned on the Escrow Deposit prior to Closing to Seller or another designee of Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to an account designated by Seller, which amount shall be credited against the payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, the Escrow Deposit shall be disbursed in accordance with Sections 11.2 and 11.4.

(1) There shall be no proration for program barter or goods or services to be received by the Station under its trade or barter agreements as of the Closing Date.

(2) Seller shall be entitled to all revenue and bear all expenses and Liabilities related to the Excluded Assets and the Non-Assumed Liabilities both prior to and after the Closing Date, except as provided in Section 5.2(c) hereof.

(b) Seller shall prepare and submit to Buyer, not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a good faith written estimate of the adjustments and prorations set forth in subsection (a) above that remain unpaid as of Closing (the “Adjustments”) in accordance with this Section 2.3, along with Seller’s estimate of the Purchase Price resulting from the Adjustments (“Seller’s Estimate”). After delivery of Seller’s Estimate, including all supporting documentation of any proposed Adjustments, Buyer and Seller shall in good faith attempt to resolve prior to Closing any disputes between them

 

-7-


with respect to the determination of the Closing Cash Payment. If as of Closing any items shall be in dispute between them with respect to the Closing Cash Payment, Seller’s Estimate, as adjusted to reflect any changes to the Adjustments agreed to by the Parties, shall be used as the amount of the Closing Cash Payment payable by Buyer on the Closing Date, with such disputed items to be settled between the Parties following Closing pursuant to subsections (c) and (d) below.

(c) Buyer shall prepare and submit to Seller, not later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Buyer’s written good faith determination of the Adjustments, including any changes to the preliminary Adjustments used to determine the Closing Cash Payment and all supporting documentation of any additions or modifications to the preliminary Adjustments, along with a calculation of the Purchase Price resulting from the Adjustments as determined by Buyer (“Buyer’s Calculation”). After delivery of Buyer’s determination of the Adjustments and Buyer’s Calculation to Seller, Seller may furnish Buyer, within fifteen (15) Business Days following delivery of Buyer’s Calculation, with written notification setting forth in reasonable detail any disputes Seller has with Buyer’s determination of the Adjustments and Buyer’s Calculation. In the event that Seller does not provide such a written notification within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Adjustments and Buyer’s Calculation, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such written notification is timely provided, then Buyer and Seller shall, for a period of ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree), in good faith attempt to resolve any disputes between them with respect to the determination of the Purchase Price, with each Party claiming an adjustment to its credit providing the other with any documentation reasonably requested by the other Party to determine the appropriateness of such claimed Adjustment. In no event shall Buyer or Seller be permitted to dispute any item or amount that was agreed to prior to Closing in the determination of the Closing Cash Payment.

(d) If, following such ten (10) Business Day period, the Parties cannot agree on the amount of the final Adjustments, the determination shall be made by a national or regional accounting firm jointly designated by the Parties (the “Auditor”). The Auditor shall make the determination based on GAAP in effect on the Closing Date. Either Party may invoke the use of the Auditor by notifying the other Party in writing. In the event that either Party invokes the use of the Auditor, there shall be a thirty (30) day period (the “Discovery Period”) when the Parties may request of and shall provide to each other in writing or computer format where appropriate any documentation or records in the possession of the other Party that are related to a claim or defense to be made to the Auditor. Fifteen (15) Business Days after the expiration of the Discovery Period, the Parties shall have the opportunity to present their claims and supporting documentation to the Auditor. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Auditor to render a decision within fifteen (15) Business Days after each Party shall have presented (or have foregone the opportunity to present) its claims and supporting documentation to the Auditor. The decision of the Auditor shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to any judicial challenge by either Party. Within five (5) Business Days after the Auditor provides the determination to the Parties, payment in accordance with that determination shall be made by the appropriate Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, to an account designated by the Party entitled to receive such payment. The expenses of the Auditor shall be paid by the Party which, based on the Auditor’s resolution of the disputed item(s), is not the prevailing Party.

2.4 Assumed Liabilities.

Section 10. INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of either Party contained in this Agreement (or in any document delivered in connection herewith) shall (i) be deemed to have been made on the date of this Agreement, and on the Closing Date subject to any changes in any representation or warranty that are contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by the Parties notwithstanding any investigation made by the Parties, (iii) survive the Closing, and (iv) remain operative and in full force and effect until and including the first anniversary of the Closing Date, provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in (a) Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 4.2 shall survive without any time limitation and (b) Sections 3.9 (Taxes) and 3.13 (Environmental Matters) shall survive until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. (The applicable period of such survival subsequent to Closing is referred to as the “Indemnity Period.”)

10.2 Seller’s Indemnity. During the Indemnity Period (or thereafter, solely with respect to any claim for indemnification for which a Claim Notice has been given prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Period), Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members, stockholders, employees and representatives (collectively the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all demands, losses, Liabilities, Actions, assessments, damages, fines, Taxes, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation, and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants and other experts) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of, resulting from or relating to:

(a) Any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in this Agreement;

 

-22-


(b) Any failure by Seller to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; or

(c) The Non-Assumed Liabilities and any Liabilities arising from Seller’s ownership and control of the Assets, the Business and the Station prior to the Closing.

10.3 Buyer’s Indemnity. During the Indemnity Period (or thereafter, solely with respect to any claim for indemnification for which a Claim Notice has been given prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Period), Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members, stockholders, employees and representatives (collectively the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties arising out of, resulting from or relating to:

(a) Any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement;

(b) Any failure by Buyer to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; or

(c) The Assumed Liabilities and any Liabilities arising from Buyer’s ownership and control of the Assets from and after the Closing.

10.4 Procedures. In the event that any Party hereto shall sustain or incur any Losses in respect of which indemnification may be sought by such Party pursuant to this Section 10, the Party seeking such indemnification (the “Claimant”) shall assert a claim for indemnification by giving prompt written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) which shall describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances upon which the asserted claim for indemnification is based, along with a copy of the claim or complaint, to the Party providing indemnification (the “Indemnitor”). For purposes of this paragraph, any Claim Notice that is sent within fifteen (15) days of the date upon which the Claimant actually learned of such Loss shall be deemed to have been “prompt notice”; provided that failure of the Claimant to give the Indemnitor prompt notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(a) Upon the receipt of such Claim Notice, the Indemnitor shall have the right to undertake (at its own expense), by counsel or representatives of its own choosing, the good faith defense, compromise or settlement to be undertaken on behalf of the Claimant and shall keep the Claimant reasonably informed with respect thereto, provided that the Indemnitor unconditionally agrees in writing that it shall provide indemnity to the Claimant for all Losses relating to the claim disclosed in the Claim Notice. Indemnity for such Losses shall not be deemed an admission of liability on the part of the Indemnitor as against any such third party. If the Indemnitor elects to undertake such defense by its own counsel or representatives, the Indemnitor shall give notice to the Claimant within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of the Claim Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitor may not assume or control the defense if the named parties to the action giving rise to the Claim Notice (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnitor and the Claimant and representation of both Parties by the same counsel

 

-23-


would be inappropriate (based on a written opinion of outside counsel) due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in which case the Claimant shall have the right to defend the action and to employ counsel reasonably approved by the lndemnitor, and, to the extent the matter is determined to be subject to indemnification hereunder, the lndemnitor shall reimburse the Claimant for all reasonable costs associated with such defense.

(b) The Claimant shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in such defense and provide the Indemnitor with all information and assistance reasonably necessary to permit the Indemnitor to settle and/or defend any such claim. Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 10.4(a), the Claimant may retain counsel (at the Claimant’s expense) to monitor or participate in the defense of such claim, but the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control the defense unless the Claimant unconditionally agrees in writing to relieve the Indemnitor from liability with respect to the particular matter. The lndemnitor shall have the right in good faith to settle or compromise any such claim, provided that (i) at least ten (10) Business Days prior notice of such settlement or compromise is given to the Claimant and (ii) such settlement or compromise must not require the Claimant to take or refrain from taking any action (provided that Claimant shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the terms of a mutual release with respect to such claim with the third party making such claim), contain any admission by or on behalf of the Claimant, or otherwise fail to hold Claimant fully harmless with respect to such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any such settlement or compromise negotiated by the Indemnitor, no Claimant shall be required by an Indemnitor to (i) enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the Claimant or plaintiff to the Claimant of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, or (ii) enter into any settlement that attributes by its terms any non-indemnified liability to the Claimant.

(c) If an Indemnitor fails, within ten (10) Business Days after the date of the Claim Notice to give notice to the Claimant of such Indenmitor’s election to assume the defense thereof, the lndemnitor shall be bound by any determination made in such action or any compromise or settlement thereof effected by the Claimant and shall reimburse the Claimant for all Losses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the Claimant; provided, however, that the Claimant shall keep the Indemnitor advised on a timely basis of significant developments with respect to such defense and permit the Indemnitor to participate, at its own election and expense, at any time, in the defense thereof.

10.5 Qualifications and Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnitor’s obligations to indemnify the Claimant pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3 shall be subject to the following qualifications and limitations:

(a) In the determination of whether a breach has occurred with respect to any representation or warranty contained in Section 3 or Section 4 of this Agreement for purposes of the exercise by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, of its indemnity rights under Section 10.2(a) or 10.3(a) hereof, any exception for “Material Adverse Effect” and any qualification by “in all material respects” in any representation or warranty shall be disregarded as if such representation or warranty did not contain such exception or qualification, and the phrase “material breach” or “material default” in any representation or warranty shall be read as if the word “material” were not present therein.

 

-24-


(b) All of Buyer’s or Seller’s Losses sought to be recovered under Section 10.2 or 10.3 hereof shall be net of (i) any insurance proceeds received by Buyer or Seller as Claimant, as the case may be, with respect to the events giving rise to such Losses, and (ii) any tax benefits received by such Claimant in connection with such events.

(c) Following the Closing Date, except for claims based on fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy for either Party for any claim arising out of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement herein shall be a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.

Section 11. TERMINATION

11.1 Termination by the Parties. This Agreement may be terminated, and the purchase and sale of the Assets abandoned, by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller, or if the terminating Party is not then in material default, upon written notice to the non-terminating Party, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(a) Breach by Seller. By Buyer in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by Seller such that if the Closing Date were the date of determination of such breach, the condition in Section 8.1 would not be satisfied; provided that if such Seller’s breach is capable of being cured prior to all other applicable conditions to Closing being met and Seller is diligently seeking to cure such breach, such termination by Buyer shall be effective only when such other conditions are met and Seller’s breach has not been cured.

(b) Breach by Buyer. By Seller in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by Buyer such that if the Closing Date were the date of determination of such breach, the condition in Section 7.1 would not be satisfied; provided that if such Buyer’s breach is capable of being cured prior to all other applicable conditions to Closing being met and Buyer is diligently seeking to cure such breach, such termination by Seller shall be effective only when such other conditions are met and Seller’s breach has not been cured;

(c) Judgments. By Buyer or Seller if there shall be in effect any final and non-appealable Judgment that would prevent or make unlawful the Closing;

(d) Outside Date. By Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred prior to November 30, 2009;

(e) Damage to Assets. By Buyer if it shall elect to exercise its termination right pursuant to Section 6.11.

11.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, this Agreement will forthwith become null and void and there will be no liability or obligation on the part of any Party hereto (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives or Affiliates); provided that (i) if this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 11.1(a), Seller will remain liable to Buyer for any breach of this Agreement by Seller existing at the time of termination, and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated by Seller

 

-25-


pursuant to Section 11.1(b), Buyer’s sole liability to Seller for any breach of this Agreement shall be satisfied by the release of the Escrow Deposit to Seller pursuant to Section 11.4. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than pursuant to Section 11.1(b), the Escrow Amount, less any compensation due the Escrow Agent, shall be paid to Buyer.

11.3 Specific Performance. The Parties recognize that if Seller refuses to perform under the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise breaches its obligation to consummate this Agreement, monetary damages alone would not be adequate to compensate Buyer for its injury. Buyer shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. If any action is brought by Buyer to enforce this Agreement, Seller shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law, and Buyer shall not be required to pay or post any bond in connection with any such equitable relief.

11.4 Payment of Escrow Deposit to Seller as Liquidated Damages. If this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(b), then and in that event Seller shall have the right to receive and retain the Escrow Deposit, and Buyer shall have the right to receive any interest or other income earned in respect of the Escrow Deposit. The Parties agree that the amount of the actual damages suffered by Seller as a result of a breach by Buyer are likely to be difficult or impractical to ascertain and, therefore, the payment of the Escrow Amount to Seller is fair and reasonable and does not constitute a penalty.

11.5 Surviving Obligations. The rights and obligations of the Parties described in Sections 6.7 (Confidentiality) and 6.8 (Press Releases), Section 12, and this Section 11 shall survive any termination.

Section 12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.6 Waivers of Compliance; Consents. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of any of the Parties to comply with any obligation, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or condition herein may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the Party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of any Party hereto, such consent shall be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section.

12.7 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument referred to herein, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other such instrument and this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that, as nearly as possible, reflects the original intent of the Parties.

12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in both counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one and the same fully executed instrument.
