WHEREAS, Licensee is the licensee of and owns and operates radio station KPTI(FM), FCC Facility ID No. 36029, Alameda, California (the "Station"), pursuant to licenses, permits, and authorizations issued to Licensee by the Federal Communications Commission (the "Commission" or "FCC"). WHEREAS, the SBS Entities and Programmer are parties to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2003, as amended on April 14, 2004 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), whereby the SBS Entities have agreed to sell, and Programmer has agreed to buy, substantially all of the assets used in the operation of the Station on the terms and conditions set forth therein. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement. WHEREAS, Licensee desires to provide air time on the Station to Programmer on terms and conditions that conform to Station policies and the FCC's rules, regulations and policies for time brokerage arrangements and as set forth herein. WHEREAS, Programmer desires to use the air time to be made available by Licensee for the purpose of providing Programmer's programming to and for the Station in conformity with all rules, regulations, and policies of the FCC. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual promises set forth herein, Licensee and Programmer hereby agree as follows: 1. TIME SALE. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and to applicable rules, regulations, and policies of the FCC, Licensee shall make available to Programmer all air time on the Station as may be requested by Programmer except for time reserved to or permitted to be used by Licensee in accordance with Sections 4 and 5. Licensee shall broadcast the programming, including commercial announcements, supplied by Programmer without interruption, deletion, or addition of any kind, subject to the terms of this Agreement and Licensee's obligations under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the published rules, regulations, and policies of the Commission (collectively, the "Communications Act"). 2. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall be from April 15, 2004, through October 15, 2004, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Paragraph 15 hereof. This Agreement may be renewed upon such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreeable to Programmer and Licensee. 3. HOURS OF PROGRAMMING. Subject to the exceptions set forth in Sections 4 and 5 below, Programmer shall supply, and Licensee shall transmit without modification, programming for all periods of broadcast operations as may be requested by Programmer, as long as this Agreement remains in force. Programmer shall provide all such programming, produced at its own cost and expense. 4. RESERVATION OF TIME. Licensee specifically reserves for its own use up to three (3) hours per week of programming time (the "Reserved Time") during which it may broadcast programming of its choice to serve community needs. The Reserved Time shall be at a mutually agreeable time between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Sundays. 5. LICENSEE'S PROGRAMMING DISCRETION. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting in any way the reasonable, good faith exercise by Licensee of its rights and obligations as the licensee of the Station to make the ultimate programming decisions for the Station.

Licensee shall notify Programmer, unless such notice is impractical or impossible, at least one (1) week in advance of any such refusal of Programmer's programming that Licensee deems necessary to serve the public interest. In the event of any such refusal, Programmer shall receive a pro-rated credit for the preempted time against the compensation required under Section 7 hereof and, in addition, shall be entitled to the cash value equivalent of any consideration received by the Licensee for the programming included in such period of preemption. Although the parties shall cooperate in the broadcast of emergency information over the Station, Licensee shall have the right to interrupt Programmer's programming in case of an emergency or for programming that, in the reasonable good faith judgment of Licensee, is of overriding public importance. In the event of any such interruption, except interruptions reasonably necessary to inform the public of a governmentally declared federal, state, or local emergency, Programmer shall receive a pro-rated credit for the preempted time against the compensation required under Section 7 hereof. 6. PROGRAMMER'S RIGHTS IN PROGRAMMING. All right, title and interest in and to the programming provided by Programmer, and the right to authorize the use of the programming in any manner and in any media whatsoever, shall be and remain vested at all times solely in Programmer.

Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Programmer from and against any Claim arising out of (i) programming exclusively provided by Licensee, and (ii) any inaccuracy or breach of any representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations of Licensee under this Agreement. c. As used in this Section 14, the term "Claim" shall include (i) all liabilities; (ii) all losses, damages (including, without limitation, consequential damages), judgments, awards, penalties and settlements; (iii) all demands, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, proceedings and assessments, whether or not ultimately determined to be valid; and (iv) all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest (including prejudgment interest in any litigated or arbitrated 6 matter), court costs and fees and expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses) of investigating, defending or asserting any of the foregoing or of enforcing this Agreement. d. The indemnification obligations of this Section 14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations and the conclusion and payment of all judgments which may be rendered in all litigation which may be commenced prior to such expiration. e. Any party seeking indemnification hereunder (the "Indemnified Party") shall give promptly to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the "Indemnitor") a written notice (a "Claim Notice") describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known or estimable) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give the Claim Notice promptly as required by this Section 14e shall not affect such Indemnified Party's rights under this Section 14 except to the extent such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights and obligations of the Indemnitor. f. After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Section 14 shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree in writing. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of losses and expenses suffered by it. g. In order for a party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any third Person against the Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnitor in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the third Person claim promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the third Person claim. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver to the Indemnitor copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the third Person claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should a party be physically served with a complaint with regard to a third Person claim, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnitor with a copy of the complaint within five (5) business days after receipt thereof and shall deliver to the Indemnitor within seven (7) business days after the receipt of such complaint copies of notices and documents (including court papers) physically served upon the Indemnified Party relating to the third Person claim. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give the Claim Notice promptly (or in five (5) business days in the case of service of a complaint upon the Indemnified Party) or to deliver copies of notices and documents as required by this Section 14g shall not affect such Indemnified Party's rights under this Section 14 except to the extent such failure is actually prejudicial to the rights and obligations of the Indemnitor. 7 h. In the event of the initiation of any legal proceeding against the Indemnified Party by a third Person, the Indemnitor shall have the sole and absolute right after the receipt of notice, at its option and at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice and to control, defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any proceeding, claim, or demand which relates to any loss, liability or damage indemnified against hereunder; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any such proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand. To the extent the Indemnitor elects not to defend such proceeding, claim or demand, and the Indemnified Party defends against or otherwise deals with any such proceeding, claim or demand, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitor, at the expense of the Indemnitor, and control the defense of such proceeding. Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnified Party may settle any such proceeding which settlement obligates the other party to pay money, to perform obligations or to admit liability without the consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall arrive at a mutually binding agreement with respect to each separate matter alleged to be indemnified by the Indemnitor hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnitor notice of any sums due and owing by it with respect to such matter and the Indemnitor shall pay all of the sums so owing to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer, certified or bank cashier's check within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. i. In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from third Persons any amount in respect of a matter with respect to which an Indemnitor has indemnified it pursuant to this Section 14, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Indemnitor the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the full amount of the expenses incurred by it in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid by the Indemnitor to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of such matter and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnitor in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter. All Loss and Expenses shall be computed net of any insurance proceeds (less any increase in premiums, reasonably attributable to such Loss, for the one-year period following such Loss) that reduce any damages that would otherwise be sustained. 15. TERMINATION; EFFECT OF TERMINATION. a. The term of this Agreement is subject to the limitations that: i. This Agreement may be terminated by mutual consent of the parties. ii.

Programmer shall be entitled to all uncollected revenue for advertising already broadcast over the Station prior to such termination, and Licensee shall pay over to Programmer any sums received in respect of the same. 16. EXCLUSIVITY. Any air time not used by Programmer in accordance with Section 3 or by Licensee shall not be available for use by any other Person.
