Section 4 of the Option Agreement is amended as follows:  


"SECTION 4.   CLOSING.  If the Options or Put are exercised, then consummation of the sale and purchase of the KPTO Assets and the KITT Assets (each a "Closing") shall occur on a date (the "Closing Date") designated by Option Holder after FCC Consent (defined below) and unless Final FCC Consent has not been received, not later than August 15, 2006.  The initial consent of the FCC to the FCC Application is referred to herein as the "FCC Consent." For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Final" shall mean that action shall have been taken by the FCC (including action duly taken by the FCC's staff, pursuant to delegated authority) which shall not have been reversed, stayed, enjoined, set aside, annulled or suspended; with respect to which no timely request for stay, petition for rehearing, appeal or certiorari or sua sponte action of the FCC with comparable effect shall be pending; and as to which the time for filing any such request, petition, appeal, certiorari or for the taking of any such sua sponte action by the FCC shall have expired or otherwise terminated.  On the Closing Date, each Seller shall convey the KPTO Assets and the KITT Assets respectively, to Option Holder free and clear of liens, claims and encumbrances, and Option Holder shall pay the KITT Purchase Price and the KPTO Purchase Price to the applicable Seller.  In the event the parties do not agree to the terms of a Purchase Agreement, each Seller also agrees to deliver to Option Holder at Closing (as defined below) all customary transfer documents, including, but not limited to, a bill of sale and an assignment of intangible assets.  


In the event either (a) Final FCC Consent has been received and Closing does not occur by the close of business on August 15, 2006, or (b) Final FCC Consent has not received by August 15, 2006 due to delays attributable to Option Holder, Option Holder shall pay Legacy a one-time penalty of $10,000; and, on the 1st day of each month, in addition to the Option Payment, shall pay Legacy an Additional Option Payment in the amount of $10,000 per month.

In the event the FCC does not grant either of the Applications in an order which has become Final within 270 days from the date the Assignment Applications are filed, and such failure is not due to an action of the Option Holder, this agreement shall terminate and the Returned Amount (as defined below) shall immediately be returned to the Option Holder within 20 calendar days thereafter.  As security for the prompt return of the Returned Amount, Radio 1440 and Legacy will execute the Security Agreement and Pledge Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits A and B respectively."  


5.

Option Holder shall reimburse Sellers for attorney fees incurred in conjunction with the negotiation and preparation of this Amendment to Option Agreement in an amount not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00).
