AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, taking the foregoing into account, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1:  SALE AND PURCHASE
1.1 Station Assets. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, on the Closing Date, Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and acquire from Sellers, all right, title and interest of Sellers in and to the following assets, properties, interests and rights of Sellers, real and personal, tangible and intangible, that are used or held for use exclusively in the operation of the Stations, except the Excluded Assets (the "Station Assets"):

(b) all of Sellers' equipment, transmitters, antennas, cables, ground radials, towers, guy wires, guy anchors, vehicles, furniture, fixtures, spare parts and other tangible personal property of every kind and description that are used or held for use exclusively in the operation of the Stations and listed on Schedule 1.1(b) attached hereto (the "Tangible Personal Property"), except for any retirements or dispositions thereof made between the date hereof and Closing in the ordinary course of business;

(f) all the files, documents, records, and books of account (or copies thereof) exclusively relating to the operation of the Stations, including the Stations' public inspection files, blueprints, technical information and engineering data, manuals, programming information and studies, client/advertiser lists, marketing and demographic studies, and sales and audience data but excluding records relating to Excluded Assets; and
(g) all claims (including warranty claims), deposits, prepaid expenses, and Sellers' goodwill in, and the going concern value of, the Stations.
The Station Assets shall be transferred to Buyer free and clear of liens, claims and encumbrances ("Liens") except for (i) Assumed Obligations, (ii) liens for taxes not yet due and payable, (iii) liens that will be released at or prior to Closing, and, (iv) with respect to the Real Property, easements, rights of way, building and use restrictions and other exceptions that do not in any material respect detract from the value of the property subject thereto or impair the use thereof in the ordinary course of the business of the Stations (collectively, "Permitted Liens").

1.3 Assumption of Obligations. At Closing, Buyer shall assume and agree to pay, discharge and perform all liabilities, obligations, and commitments arising under the Station Contracts relating to the period after the Adjustment Time (collectively, the "Assumed Obligations").
1.4 Retained Liabilities. Except for the Assumed Obligations, Buyer does not assume and will not be deemed by execution and delivery of this Agreement or any agreement, instrument or document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise by reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, to have assumed, any other liabilities, obligations or commitments of Sellers of any kind, whether or not disclosed to Buyer, including, without limitation, any liability or obligation of Sellers under any contracts not included in the Station Contracts (the "Retained Liabilities").
1.5 Shared Contracts. Some of the Station Contracts may be used in the operation of stations in addition to the Stations (the "Shared Contracts"). Such Shared Contracts are designated as shared on Schedule 1.1(d).  The rights and obligations under such Shared Contracts shall be equitably allocated among stations, including the Stations, in accordance with the following allocation principles: (i) any allocation set forth in the Shared Contract shall control; (ii) if none, then any allocation previously made by Sellers in the ordinary course of Station operations shall control; (iii) if none, then the quantifiable proportionate benefit to be received by the parties after Closing shall control; and (iv) if not quantifiable, then reasonable accommodation shall control. Buyer shall cooperate with Sellers in such allocation, and the Station Contracts (and Assumed Obligations) will include only Buyer's allocated portion of the rights and obligations under such Shared Contracts (without need for further action and whether such allocation occurs before or after Closing). If designated by Sellers, such allocation will occur by termination of the Shared Contract and execution of new contracts.
1.6 Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid for the Station Assets shall be the sum of Thirteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($13,500,000), subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 1.8 and 5.5 (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price shall be paid at Closing in cash in immediately available funds as directed by Sellers.
1.7 Deposit and Liquidated Damages. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer is depositing the sum of Six Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($675,000) (the "Deposit") with Spectrum Media Group, LLC (the "Escrow Agent") pursuant to an Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") of even date herewith among Buyer, Sellers and the Escrow Agent. At Closing, the Deposit shall be disbursed to Sellers and applied to the Purchase Price (and any interest accrued thereon shall be disbursed to Buyer). If this Agreement is terminated by Sellers pursuant to Section 10.1(c), then the Deposit shall be disbursed to Sellers as liquidated damages and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Sellers for a breach by Buyer of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that payment of such amount shall constitute payment of liquidated damages and is not a penalty and that the liquidated damages amount is reasonable in light of the substantial but indeterminate harm anticipated to be caused by material breach or default by Buyer under this Agreement, the difficulty of proof of loss and damages, the inconvenience and non-feasibility of otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy, and the value of the transactions to be consummated hereunder. If this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, the Deposit and any interest accrued thereon shall be disbursed to Buyer. The parties shall each instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon to the party or parties entitled thereto and shall not, by any act or omission, delay or prevent any such disbursement. Any failure by Buyer to make the Deposit on the date hereof constitutes a material default as to which the Cure Period under Section 10.1 does not apply entitling Seller to immediately terminate this Agreement.
1.8 Prorations.
(a) The operation of the Stations and the income and operating expenses attributable thereto until 11:59 p.m. on the date preceding the day of Closing (the "Adjustment Time") shall be for the account of Sellers and thereafter for the account of Buyer, and income and expenses shall be prorated between Sellers and Buyer as of the Adjustment Time in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted accordingly.
(b) Such prorations shall include all property Taxes (except transfer Taxes as provided by Section 11.1), music and other license fees, FCC regulatory fees, utility expenses, rent and other liabilities and obligations under Station Contracts and similar prepaid and deferred items and all other expenses and obligations, such as deferred revenue and prepayments attributable to the ownership or holding of the Station Assets and Operation of the Stations that straddle the period before and after the Adjustment Time. Seller shall receive a credit for all of the Stations' deposits, bonds and prepaid expenses to the extent the benefit of the same is transferred to Buyer. Sales commissions related to the sale of advertisements broadcast on the Stations prior to Closing shall be the responsibility of Sellers, and sales commissions related to the sale of advertisements broadcast on the Stations after Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer. There shall be no proration or adjustment for any imbalance in the value of rights and obligations under trade, barter or similar agreements for the sale of time for goods or services ("Trade Agreements"); provided, however, if the aggregate obligations under the Trade Agreements exceed $25,000 as of the Closing Date, then amounts in excess of $25,000 shall be prorated in accordance with Section 1.8(a).  Prorations and adjustments shall be made at Closing to the extent practicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.8 to the contrary, there shall be no proration under this Section 1.8 for, and Seller shall remain solely liable for, any contracts or agreements not included in the Station Contracts.To the extent any prorations are not made at Closing, within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a proposed pro rata adjustment of income and expenses in the manner described in Section 1.8 and this Section 1.8 for the Station as of the Adjustment Time (the "Settlement Statement"), together with a schedule setting forth, in reasonable detail, the components thereof.  During such 90-day period, Buyer and its representatives shall be provided reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, to such books and records of Seller, and to employees of Seller and its independent auditors, if any, as Buyer may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of the Settlement Statement.
(c) During the 30-day period following the receipt of the Settlement Statement, Buyer shall provide Sellers and its representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, to such books and records of Buyer, and to employees of Buyer and its independent auditors, if any, as Sellers may reasonably request in connection with its review of the Settlement Statement.
(d) The Settlement Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 30th day following delivery thereof to Sellers, unless Sellers give written notice of their disagreement with the Settlement Statement (the "Notice of Disagreement") to Buyer prior to such date.  The Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted.  If a Notice of Disagreement is given to Buyer in the period specified, then the Settlement Statement (as revised in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) below) shall become final and binding upon the parties on the earlier of (i) the date Buyer and Sellers resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (ii) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm as provided herein.
(e) Within ten (10) Business Days after the Settlement Statement becomes final and binding upon the parties, (i) Buyer shall pay to Sellers the amount, if any, by which the prorated income allocated to Sellers exceeds the prorated expenses allocated to Sellers or (ii) Sellers shall pay to Buyer the amount, if any, by which the prorated expenses allocated to Sellers exceed the prorated income allocated to Sellers.  All payments made pursuant to this Section 1.8(e) shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the recipient party.
(f) Notwithstanding any statement in this section to the contrary, if Sellers deliver a Notice of Disagreement, Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, shall make a payment to the other party in immediately available funds of any undisputed amount within 10 Business Days of the receipt of the Notice of Disagreement.
(g) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement to Buyer that complies with the preceding paragraphs, Buyer and Sellers shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement.  During such period: (i) each of Buyer and Sellers, at their sole cost and expense, shall be permitted to review and make copies reasonably required of: (A) the financial statements of Sellers, in the case of Buyer, and Buyer, in the case of Sellers, relating to the Notice of Disagreement, (B) the working papers of Sellers, in the case of Buyer, and Buyer, in the case of Sellers, and the other Party's auditors, if any, relating to the Notice of Disagreement; and (C) the books and records, including any supporting schedules, analyses and documentation, of the other party relating to the prorations and adjustments subject to the Notice of Disagreement; and (ii) Sellers, in the case of Buyer, and Buyer, in the case of Sellers, shall provide reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice and during normal business hours, to such employees of the other party as such party reasonably believes is necessary or desirable in connection with its review of the Notice of Disagreement.
(h) If, at the end of such 30-day period, Buyer and Sellers have not resolved their differences, Buyer and Sellers shall submit to the Accounting Firm for review and resolution any and all matters that remain in dispute and that were included in the Notice of Disagreement.  Within thirty (30) days after selection of the Accounting Firm, Buyer and Sellers shall submit their respective positions to the Accounting Firm in writing, together with any other materials relied upon in support of their respective positions.  Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate with each other and otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a decision resolving the matters in dispute within thirty (30) days following the submission of such materials to the Accounting Firm.  The decision of the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on each of the parties, and judgment upon the determination of the Accounting Firm may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be divided equally between Sellers and Buyer.  The fees and expenses (if any) of Buyer's independent auditors and attorneys incurred in connection with the review of the Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by Buyer, and the fees and expenses (if any) of Sellers' independent auditors and attorneys incurred in connection with their review of the Settlement Statement shall be borne by Sellers.

Within five (5) business days after the date of this Agreement, Buyer and Sellers shall file the FCC Application.   FCC consent to the FCC Application without any material adverse conditions other than those of general applicability is referred to herein as the "FCC Consent."

ARTICLE 5:  JOINT COVENANTS
5.1 Confidentiality. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, all non-public information regarding the parties and their business and properties that is disclosed in connection with the negotiation, preparation or performance of this Agreement (including without limitation all financial information provided by Sellers to Buyer) shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity, except on a confidential basis to the parties' attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, investors and lenders, and their respective attorneys for the purpose of consummating the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
5.2 Announcements. Prior to Closing, no party shall, without the prior written consent of the other, issue any press release or make any other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent that such party is so obligated by law, in which case such party shall give advance notice to the other, except to the extent that such party is so obligated by law, or the rules of any stock exchange on which the securities of any party or its direct or indirect parent entity are listed in which case such party shall give advance notice to the other, and except as necessary to enforce rights under or in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that this Agreement and the terms hereof will be filed with the FCC Application and thereby become public.
5.3 Control. Consistent with FCC rules, control, supervision and direction of the operation of the Stations prior to Closing shall remain the responsibility of Sellers as the holder of the FCC Licenses.
5.4 Consents and Estoppel Certificates. Sellers and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consents noted on Schedule 1.1(d) hereto, but no such consents are conditions to Closing unless specifically identified as such on Schedule 1.1(d) (the "Required Consents"). 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 at Closing pursuant hereto shall not constitute an assignment thereof, but to the extent permitted by Law shall constitute an equitable assignment by Sellers and assumption by Buyer of Sellers' rights and obligations under the applicable Station Contract, with Sellers making available to Buyer the benefits thereof and Buyer performing the obligations thereunder on Sellers' behalf. Sellers and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain customary written estoppel certificates duly executed by the lessors under the Real Property Leases (the "Estoppel Certificates"), but no Estoppel Certificates are conditions to Closing.
5.5 Risk of Loss.
(a) Sellers shall bear the risk of loss of or damage to any of the Station Assets at all times until the Adjustment Time, and Buyer shall bear the risk of such loss or damage thereafter.
(b) If prior to the Adjustment Time any material item of Tangible Personal Property is damaged or destroyed or otherwise not in the condition described in Section 2.6 in any material respect, then:
(i) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to repair or replace such item in all material respects in the ordinary course of business; and
(ii) if such repair or replacement is not completed prior to Closing, then the parties shall proceed to Closing (with Sellers' representations and warranties deemed modified to take into account any such condition) and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the reasonably estimated cost to complete repairs (as Buyer's sole remedy), except that if such damage or destruction materially disrupts operations of a Station or prevents the Station from operating in material compliance with any FCC License or the Communications Laws, then Buyer may postpone Closing until the date five (5) business days after operations are restored in all material respects so that the Stations are operating in such compliance in all material respects, subject to Section 10.1.
(c) If prior to Closing WDMK is off the air or operating at a power level that results in a material reduction in coverage (a "Broadcast Interruption"), then Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to return it to the air and restore prior coverage as promptly as possible in the ordinary course of business. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if prior to Closing there is a Broadcast Interruption in excess of 24 hours, then Buyer may postpone Closing until the date five (5) business days after WDMK returns to the air and prior coverage is restored in all material respects, subject to Section 10.1.
5.6 Employees.
(a) Buyer may (but is not obligated to) offer post-Closing employment to any of the Stations' employees listed on Schedule 5.6 on terms and conditions determined by Buyer, in its sole discretion and this Section 5.6 (any Station employee who is not listed on Schedule 5.6 shall be referred to herein as a "Retained Employee"). With respect to each such Station employee, no more than ten (10) days prior to Closing, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing whether or not it will offer employment to such employee upon Closing. With respect to each such employee who accepts Buyer's offer of employment ("Transferred Employees"), Sellers shall be responsible for all compensation and benefits arising prior to Closing (in accordance with Sellers' employment terms) and Buyer shall be responsible for all compensation and benefits arising after Closing (in accordance with Buyer's employment terms). Subject to the requirements of Buyer's policies regarding vacation and sick leave, Buyer shall grant credit to each Transferred Employee for all unused vacation and sick leave accrued as of Closing as an employee of Sellers, and Buyer shall assume and discharge Sellers' obligation to provide such leave to such employees, provided that Seller pays to Buyer at Closing in accordance with Section 1.8 an amount equal to the value of the accrued and unused vacation and sick leave for all Transferred Employees.
(b) Except for the obligations set forth above with respect to unused vacation and sick leave, Buyer does not assume any of Sellers' employee obligations (including any severance obligations), all of which are Retained Liabilities and not Assumed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any of the employment agreements included in the Station Contracts include any deferred compensation or profit sharing or transfer of control or similar provisions, then such obligations shall be Retained Liabilities and not Assumed Obligations.
(c) Buyer shall permit Transferred Employees (and their spouses and dependents) to participate in its "employee welfare benefit plans" (including without limitation health insurance plans) and "employee pension benefit plans" (as defined in ERISA) in which similarly situated employees are generally eligible to participate, with coverage effective immediately upon Closing (and without exclusion from coverage on account of any pre-existing condition) to the extent permitted under Buyer's employee welfare benefit plans. For purposes of any length of service requirements, waiting periods, vesting periods or differential benefits based on length of service in any such employee welfare benefit plans (including any severance plans or policies) and defined contribution plans for which an employee may be eligible after the Closing Date, Buyer shall ensure, to the extent permitted by applicable law (including ERISA and the Code) and such employee welfare benefit plans, that service with Sellers (or any predecessor thereto) shall be deemed to have been service with Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to credit any service to the extent that doing so would result in duplication of benefits.
(d) Buyer shall also permit each Transferred Employee who participates in Sellers' 401(k) plan to elect to make direct rollovers of their account balances into Buyer's 401(k) plan as soon as administratively feasible after Closing, including the direct rollover of any outstanding loan balances such that they will continue to make payments under the terms of such loans under Buyer's 401(k) plan, subject to compliance with applicable law and subject to the reasonable requirements of Buyer's 401(k) plan.
(e) From the date hereof until the date twelve (12) months after the date of Closing, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, solicit, hire or attempt to hire for employment any Transferred Employee without the prior written consent of the Buyer, except with respect to any such employee who has been involuntarily terminated by Buyer. Nothing in this Section 5.6(e) shall limit or modify any non-compete agreement to which any Transferred Employee or any Retained Employee is party.
(f) The terms of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of (and may be enforced only by) the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement gives any rights to any employee, and no employee may enforce any provision of this Agreement against any of the parties hereto.
5.7 Accounts Receivable. For a period of ninety (90) days after Closing (the "Collection Period"), Buyer shall, without charge to Sellers, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the A/R related to the Stations in the ordinary course of business and shall apply all amounts collected from the Stations' account debtors first to the Accounts receivable that is specified by the customer on the payment (if any), and next, to the oldest account first, unless the advertiser disputes in good faith in writing an older account and designates the payment to a newer account. Any amounts relating to the A/R that are paid directly to Sellers shall be retained by Sellers. Buyer shall not discount, adjust or otherwise compromise any A/R and Buyer shall refer any disputed A/R to Sellers. Within ten calendar days after the end of each month, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a report showing A/R collections for the prior month and Buyer shall make a payment, without offset, to Sellers equal to the amount of all such collections. In the event that Sellers receive payment directly from an advertiser for any advertising or other services sold by Buyer after the Adjustment Time, Sellers shall deliver the amount of such payment to Buyer. At the end of the Collection Period, any remaining A/R shall be returned to Sellers for collection. Buyer shall be under no obligation to commence litigation or legal action to effect collection. Following the expiration of the Collection Period, Buyer shall have no further obligations under this Section 5.7 except to promptly pay to Sellers any amounts subsequently paid to Buyer with respect to any A/R.
5.8 No SolicitationFrom the date hereof, until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, Sellers and its Affiliates will not, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person (other than Buyer and its representatives) concerning any sale or disposition of any of the Station Assets, including the FCC Licenses.
5.9 Holdover at Studio Site.  Sellers' lease for the studio used by the Stations (the "Studio Lease") expires January 31, 2020, after which the Studio Lease provides for the possibility of month to month extensions if Sellers pay 150% of the rent amount payable prior to expiration. In the event that Closing has not occurred by January 31, 2020 primarily due to an objection or petition to the FCC Application having been filed (a "Closing Delay") and Sellers are required to extend the Studio Lease and pay the additional 50% rent required under the Studio Lease (the "Holdover Rent"),  Sellers and Buyer agree to pay the Holdover Rent as follows: (a) if the Closing Delay is due to allegations that are primarily against Sellers, then Sellers shall pay the Holdover Rent; (b) if the Closing Delay is due to allegations that are primarily against Buyer, then Buyer shall pay the Holdover Rent; and (c) if the Closing Delay is due to allegations that are against both Sellers and Buyer, then Sellers and Buyer shall each pay one-half of the Holdover Rent.
