Loans made under this Agreement are distinguished by “Class” and by “Type”. The “Class” of a Loan (or of a commitment to make such a Loan or of a Borrowing comprised of such Loans) refers to whether such commitment or Loan is (a) a Revolving Commitment or a Revolving Loan made under the Revolving Commitments, (b) an Incremental Revolving Commitment relating to a specified Incremental Facility or an Incremental Revolving Loan made under such Incremental Facility, (c) a Term D Loan or (d) an Incremental Term Commitment relating to a specified Incremental Facility or an Incremental Term Loan made under such Incremental Facility, each of which constitutes a “Class”. The “Type” of a Loan refers to whether such Loan is a Eurodollar Loan or a Base Rate Loan, each of which constitutes a “Type”. Identification of a Loan (or of a Commitment to make such a Loan or of a Borrowing comprised of such Loans) by both Class and Type, e.g., a “Eurodollar Incremental Term Loan”, indicates that such Loan is both an Incremental Term Loan and a Eurodollar Loan (or that such Borrowing is comprised of such Loans).

Section 3. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 2.01(a). Section 2.01(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

Within such limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow Term D Loans under this Section 2.01(a)(i); provided that amounts borrowed as Term D Loans which are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(ii) Term D Loans may from time to time be (i) Eurodollar Loans or (ii) Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, as determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.04.

Section 4. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 2.01(c). Section 2.01(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

(i) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time and from time to time prior to June 30, 2006, the Borrower may request pursuant to the procedure set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, Section 2.16, the addition of an Incremental Facility consisting of either an increase to the existing revolving facility or a new tranche of revolving loans (each, an “Incremental Revolving Loan”) or an increase to the existing term loan or a new tranche of term loans (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”); provided however that the Borrower may not make a request for an Incremental Facility if after giving effect thereto the sum of all then outstanding Incremental Revolving Loans, unused Incremental Revolving Commitments, outstanding Incremental Term Loans and unused Incremental Term Commitments would exceed the Maximum Incremental Amount. Each Incremental Facility shall:

(A) be in an amount not less than the excess of $25,000,000 over the amount of any Nexstar Incremental Facility made simultaneously therewith; provided that the sum of all then outstanding Incremental Revolving Loans, unused Incremental Revolving Commitments, Incremental Revolving Loans (as that term is defined in the Nexstar Credit Agreement) of the Nexstar Borrower and unused Incremental Revolving Commitments (as that term is defined in the Nexstar Credit Agreement) of the Nexstar Borrower shall not exceed $25,000,000;

(B) unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, upon the effectiveness of the Incremental Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Commitment relating thereto as provided in Section 2.01(c)(ii), be deemed to be a Revolving Loan or a Term D Loan as defined herein, as applicable, for all purposes under this Agreement, including for purposes of the sharing of Collateral and guarantees under the Guaranty Agreements all on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations;

(C) have such pricing as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Banks providing such Incremental Revolving Loans and/or Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.01(c) and Section 2.16; and

(D) except as specifically provided in this subsection (D) and subsection (C) above or in Section 2.08, otherwise have all of the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Loans that are not Incremental Revolving Loans (if such Incremental Loans are Incremental Revolving Loans) or as the Term D Loans (if such Incremental Loans are Term D Loans); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the maturity date of the Incremental Term Loans shall be the Incremental Term Maturity Date.

In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all references in the Loan Documents to Revolving Loans and to Term D Loans shall be deemed, as the context requires, to include references to Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Term Loans, respectively, made pursuant to this Agreement. No Bank shall have any obligation to make an Incremental Loan unless and until it commits to do so. Subject to the proviso at the end of Section 2.16(a), Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to (x) an amendment (each, an “Incremental Loan Amendment”) to this Agreement executed by the Borrower, each Bank or other approved financial institution agreeing to provide such Commitment (and no other Bank shall be required to execute such amendment), and the Administrative Agent, and (y) any amendments to the other Loan Documents (executed by the relevant Credit Party and the Administrative Agent only) as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem appropriate to effect such purpose. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the effectiveness of such Incremental Loan Amendment shall be subject to the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a certificate of the Borrower executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that immediately prior to and after giving effect to the incurrence of the Indebtedness then to be incurred under such Incremental Facility (A) each of the representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects, (B) the Borrower is in compliance with each of the financial covenants contained in Section 8.09 of the Nexstar Credit Agreement and set forth in a Pro Forma Compliance Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent, based on financial projections of the Mission Entities, the Nexstar Borrower and its Subsidiaries attached to such certificate which have been prepared on a Pro Forma Basis giving effect to any Borrowing made hereunder on such date and the consummation of any related transaction and (C) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or be caused by the incurrence of such Indebtedness.

(ii) So long as (x) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent no less than five Business Days’ prior notice of the effectiveness thereof and (y) any financial institution not theretofore a Bank which is providing an Incremental Revolving Commitment and/or an Incremental Term Commitment shall have become a Bank under this Agreement pursuant to an Incremental Loan Amendment, the Incremental Revolving Commitment and/or Incremental Term Commitment being requested by the Borrower shall become effective under this Agreement upon the effectiveness of such Incremental Loan Amendment. Upon such effectiveness, Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed amended to reflect such Commitments. In the event that an Incremental Facility shall have become effective, the Bank or Banks providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Commitments shall be deemed to have agreed, severally and not jointly, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, (A) with respect to Incremental Term Commitments, to make an Incremental Term Loan in the amount of the Incremental Term Commitment of such Bank on the effective date of the applicable Increment Loan Amendment and (B) with respect to Incremental Revolving Commitments, to make from time to time during the period from the date of the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment through the Maturity Date, one or more Incremental Revolving Loans to the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03 in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding at any time the Incremental Revolving Commitment of such Bank at such time.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.01(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Banks providing the relevant Replacement Term D Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all (but not less than all) outstanding Term D Loans (“Refinanced Term D Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term D Loans”), provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term D Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term D Loans (except as permitted by Section 2.01(c) and Section 2.16), (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term D Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term D Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term D Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term D Loans at the time of such refinancing and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term D Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Banks providing such Replacement Term D Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term D Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term D Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. The election by any Bank to

provide or participate in the Replacement Term D Loans shall not obligate any other Bank to so provide or participate. The Borrower shall repay to any Bank who elects not to provide or participate in any Replacement Term D Loans the outstanding Term D Loans held by such Bank (plus any accrued and unpaid interest or other amounts due in connection therewith) prior to or simultaneously with any refinancing, replacement or modification of outstanding Term D Loans hereunder. In no event shall Replacement Term D Loans be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans hereunder.

(b) Procedure for Term D Loan Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow (i) the Term D Loan Amounts on the First Amendment Effective Date, and (ii) under any Incremental Facility consisting of Incremental Term Commitments on the effective date of the relevant Incremental Loan Amendment therefor; provided in each case that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing, which Notice of Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., Dallas, Texas time, (i) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the Borrowings are to be initially Eurodollar Loans, or (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date otherwise, requesting that the Banks participating in such Borrowing make the Term D Loans on the First Amendment Effective Date or the effective date of the relevant Incremental Loan Amendment, as applicable, and specifying (A) the aggregate amount of the Borrowing, (B) the Class of Loans comprising such Borrowing, (C) the Type or Types of Term D Loans comprising such Borrowing, and (D) if the Borrowing is to be entirely or partly Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each Tranche (which shall be $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof) and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor (subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period). Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing with respect to a Borrowing under this Section 2.03(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Bank of such Borrowing. Each Term D Bank will make the amount of its pro rata share of each requested Borrowing under the Term D Loans and each relevant Incremental Term Bank will make its pro rata share of each requested Borrowing made under the applicable Incremental Facility, as applicable, available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office prior to 1:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Any notice of prepayment delivered pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether the prepayment is to be made with respect to Revolving Loans and/or Term D Loans and the Type of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each affected Bank thereof and of such Bank’s pro rata portion of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower and not withdrawn, the Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest to each such date on the amount prepaid and the amounts, if any, required pursuant to Section 4.04; provided that interest to be paid in connection with any such prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than a prepayment in full) shall instead be paid on the next occurring Interest Payment Date.
