(a) The Company represents that the Board has (i) determined that the Tender Offer is fair to, and in the best interests of, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) authorized and approved this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (such authorization and approval having been made in accordance with the DGCL, including, without limitation, Section 203 thereof) and (iii) resolved to recommend, subject to Section 3.01(c), that the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock accept the Tender Offer and tender their shares pursuant to the Tender Offer.

THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

SECTION 4.01 The Reverse Stock Split. (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11.01, promptly following the Call Closing, and subject to receipt of the requisite stockholder approval, the Company shall combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number of shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”) and shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the time of such filing, the “Effective Time”) an amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit S, whereby, without any further action on the part of the Company, CIG or any stockholder of the Company:

(i) each share of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become such fraction (the “Reverse Stock Split Ratio”) of a fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock as shall be determined by the Company, CIG and the NBCU Entities, such that all holders of Class A Common Stock other than CIG would be eligible to receive, in respect of all shares held by each such holder, less than a whole share of Class A Common Stock upon effectuation of the Reverse Stock Split; provided, that if CIG does not own the greatest number of shares of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, the Reverse Stock Split Ratio shall be such that all holders of Class A Common Stock would be entitled to receive, in respect of all shares held by each such holder, less than a whole share of Class A Common Stock upon effectuation of the Reverse Stock Split;

(ii) each share of Class A Common Stock held as treasury stock or held or owned by the Company or any Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled; and

(iii) each share of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become a fractional number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class B Common Stock at the Reverse Stock Split Ratio.

(b) No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of record of Class A Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive less than a whole share of Class A Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender of such holder’s certificate representing such fractional shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Certificate”) as set forth in Section 4.03, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying the number of shares represented by such Certificate prior to the Reverse Stock Split by the Offer Price. Immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, CIG shall make a capital contribution to the Company in the amount necessary to make any payments required to be made to security holders of the Company pursuant to this Article IV.

(c) Fractional shares of Class B Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split shall remain outstanding, and certificates or scrip for such fractional shares of Class B Common Stock shall be issued.

SECTION 4.02 Company Stock Options. (a) Effective as of immediately following the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary actions to adjust the Company Stock Awards outstanding as of the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Plans so as to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

(b) In the event that, following the adjustment to the Company Stock Options (each such Company Stock Option, as so adjusted, an “Adjusted Company Stock Option”) made pursuant to Section 4.02(a), the number of shares of Common Stock subject to any Adjusted Company Stock Option is less than one, then, except as otherwise agreed by the Company and any holder of any Adjusted Company Stock Option, the Company shall cause such Adjusted Company Stock Option to be cancelled immediately following the Reverse Stock Split, and, in consideration of such cancellation, the holder of such Adjusted Company Stock Option shall be entitled to receive a cash payment (less applicable tax withholdings) equal to, for each share of Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, the Offer Price minus the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split; provided, that in the case of any Company Stock Options issued on or following November 7, 2005 to any person who is a full-time employee of the Company as of the date hereof, any Adjusted Company Stock Options with respect to such Company Stock Options shall remain outstanding and holders of such Adjusted Company Stock Options shall not be entitled to receive any cash payments. The Company shall take all steps necessary and appropriate to give effect to this Section 4.02(b), including using reasonable best efforts to obtain any necessary consents to the cancellation of the Adjusted Company Stock Options.

(c) In the event that, following the adjustment to outstanding restricted stock or restricted stock units (each, as so adjusted, an “Adjusted Company Restricted Stock”) made

pursuant to Section 4.02(a), the number of shares of Common Stock subject to any Adjusted Company Restricted Stock is less than one, then, except as otherwise agreed by the Company and any holder of any Adjusted Company Restricted Stock, the Company shall cause such Adjusted Company Restricted Stock to be cancelled immediately following the Reverse Stock Split, and, in consideration of such cancellation, the holder of such Adjusted Company Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive a cash payment (less applicable tax withholdings) equal to, for each share of Common Stock subject to such restricted stock or restricted stock units immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, the Offer Price less any applicable exercise or purchase price; provided, that in the case of any restricted stock or restricted stock units issued on or following November 7, 2005 to any person who is a full-time employee of the Company as of the date hereof, any Adjusted Company Restricted Stock with respect to such restricted stock or restricted stock units shall remain outstanding and holders of such Adjusted Company Restricted Stock shall not be entitled to receive any cash payments. The Company shall take all steps necessary and appropriate to give effect to this Section 4.02(c), including by obtaining any necessary consents to the cancellation of the Adjusted Company Restricted Stock.

SECTION 4.03 Surrender of Shares. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall designate a bank or trust company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of fractional shares of Class A Common Stock to receive funds pursuant to Section 4.01(b). Such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by the Company.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Person who following the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive funds pursuant to Section 4.01(b) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates evidencing shares that were converted into fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to such letter of transmittal. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Offer Price for each share formerly evidenced by such Certificate, and such Certificate shall then be canceled. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Offer Price payable upon the surrender of any Certificate for the benefit of the holder of such Certificate. If the payment equal to the Offer Price is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate formerly evidencing shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Offer Price to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. If any holder of shares of Class A Common Stock that were converted into fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split is unable to surrender such holder’s Certificates because such Certificates have been lost, mutilated or destroyed, such holder may deliver in lieu thereof an affidavit and indemnity bond in form and substance and with surety reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Each of the Company and the Paying Agent shall

be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement in respect of fractional shares of Class A Common Stock such amount as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of such fractional shares of Class A Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(c) At any time following the twelfth month after the Effective Time, the Company shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of fractional shares of Class A Common Stock (including, without limitation, all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to the Company (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to any Offer Price that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a fractional share of Class A Common Stock for any Offer Price delivered in respect of such share to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock that were converted into fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split shall cease to have any rights with respect to such fractional shares except the right to receive an amount equal to the Offer Price multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by such holder prior to the Effective Time or as provided by applicable Law.

SECTION 5.01 The Exchange Offer. (a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Commencement Date, the Company shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 13e-4(a)(4) under the Exchange Act) the Exchange Offer to exchange, out of funds legally available therefor, (i) for each outstanding share of 14¼% Preferred validly tendered in the Exchange Offer and not validly withdrawn (x) $7,000 principal amount of Series A Convertible Subordinated Debt and (y) $1,000 initial liquidation preference of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred, and (ii) for each outstanding share of 9¾% Preferred validly tendered in the Exchange Offer and not validly withdrawn (A) $4,000 principal amount of Series A Convertible Subordinated Debt and (B) $1,000 initial liquidation preference of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred; provided, that if, at the Exchange Offer Closing, the number of shares of 14¼% Preferred or 9¾% Preferred validly tendered in the Exchange Offer and not validly withdrawn represent 50% or less of the total outstanding shares of such class (a “Minority Exchange”), the Company shall exchange, out of funds legally available therefor, (i) for each outstanding share of 14¼% Preferred that has been accepted for exchange (x) $7,500 principal amount of Series A Convertible Subordinated Debt and (y) $500 initial liquidation preference of Series B Convertible Preferred, and (ii) for each outstanding share of 9¾% Preferred that has been accepted for exchange (A) $4,500 principal amount of Series A Convertible Subordinated Debt and (B) $500 initial liquidation preference of Series B Convertible Preferred. In order for shares of Senior

(b) The Company shall cause the Exchange Offer to remain open until the twentieth Business Day after such commencement of the Exchange Offer or, as set forth in this Section 5.01(b), such other later date as CIG and NBCU may mutually agree (the “Exchange Offer Initial Expiration Date”). The Company shall be obligated to accept for exchange shares of Senior Preferred Stock validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, subject only to the non-occurrence or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Annex B (the “Exchange Offer Conditions”). The Company shall not amend or make changes to the terms of the Exchange Offer, including the Exchange Offer Conditions, without the prior written consent of both CIG and NBCU. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to extend the Exchange Offer Initial Expiration Date for (i) any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Exchange Offer, (ii) any period required to obtain required stockholder approval of the Proposed Amendments, or (iii) any period required by applicable Law. On the Exchange Offer Initial Expiration Date, CIG and the Company shall, in their reasonable judgment, jointly determine whether the Exchange Offer Conditions exist and whether any such Exchange Offer Conditions shall be waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) in the event the Company, in its reasonable judgment, determines that one or more Exchange Offer Conditions exist and the Company reasonably determines not to waive any such Exchange Offer Condition and CIG, in its reasonable judgment, determines that each such Exchange Offer Condition does not exist or reasonably determines to waive any such Exchange Offer Condition, the Contingent Exchange pursuant to Section 5.04(b) shall occur, (B) in the event CIG, in its reasonable judgment, determines that one or more Exchange Offer Conditions exist and CIG reasonably determines not to waive any such Exchange Offer Condition and the Company, in its reasonable judgment, determines that each such Exchange Offer Condition does not exist or reasonably determines to waive any such Exchange Offer Condition, the Exchange Offer shall expire and no shares of Senior Preferred Stock shall be accepted for exchange and the Contingent Exchange pursuant to Section 5.04(b) shall not occur and (C) in the event an Exchange Offer Condition set forth in clauses (b) or (c) of Annex B exists that cannot be waived and that prevents the Exchange Offer Closing from occurring, the Exchange Offer shall expire and no shares of Senior Preferred Stock shall be accepted for exchange and the Contingent Exchange pursuant to Section 5.04(b) shall not occur.

(c) To the extent the Company amends or makes changes to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer pursuant to Section 5.01(b), CIG and the NBCU Entities shall cooperate with the Company in making any filings or amendments required by the DGCL, the Exchange Act, the Securities Act or any other applicable Law, or as otherwise may be necessary to effect such amendment or change.

(d) As promptly as reasonably practicable on the date the Exchange Offer is commenced, the Company shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments thereto, the “Exchange Offer Schedule TO”) with respect to the Exchange Offer, which will comply in all material respects with the provisions of all applicable

federal and state securities laws, and will contain (including as an exhibit) or incorporate by reference an offer to exchange relating to the Exchange Offer, the consent solicitation statement described in Section 5.02 and forms of the related letter of transmittal (which documents, together with the Exchange Offer Schedule TO and any supplements or amendments thereto, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Offer Documents”). The related letter of transmittal shall provide that, among other matters, in order for shares of Senior Preferred Stock to be validly tendered, each holder of Senior Preferred Stock who tenders in the Exchange Offer shall represent and warrant to the Company that (x) such holder has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer shares of Senior Preferred Stock in the Exchange Offer, (y) such holder has tendered all but not less than all of the shares of Senior Preferred Stock held by such holder on the Commencement Date and (z) when such shares are accepted for exchange by the Company, the Company shall acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all Liens. The Exchange Offer Documents, on the date filed with the SEC and on the date first disseminated to the holders of Senior Preferred Stock, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Exchange Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of Senior Preferred Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. The Company shall promptly correct or supplement any information in the Exchange Offer Documents if and to the extent that it shall have become false and misleading in any material respect, and the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Exchange Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of Senior Preferred Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. CIG, the NBCU Entities and their respective counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the initial Exchange Offer Documents before they are filed with the SEC. In addition, the Company shall provide CIG, the NBCU Entities and their respective counsel with any comments or other communications that it or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Exchange Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments or other communications. CIG, the NBCU Entities and their respective counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any response of the Company to comments or other communications from the SEC or any amended or revised Exchange Offer Documents before it is filed with the SEC.

(e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, promptly after the expiration of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall accept for exchange, in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, all of the shares of Senior Preferred Stock validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and not validly withdrawn.

(f) If the exchange is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered certificate formerly evidencing shares of Senior Preferred Stock is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of exchange that the certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall have paid all transfer and other taxes required by reason of the exchange to a Person other than the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or shall

have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such taxes either have been paid or are not applicable.

SECTION 5.03 Exchange by CIG. CIG shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliate to, (i) validly tender in the Exchange Offer and not withdraw all of the shares of 14¼% Preferred and 9¾% Preferred it holds and (ii) consent to the Proposed Amendments in the manner provided in the Exchange Offer Documents.

(h) None of the Senior Preferred Stock or the NBCU Series B Preferred are required to be registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Act.

SECTION 6.03 Authority Relative to the Transaction Agreements. (a) The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver each of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, to perform its obligations thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. Except as set forth on Section 6.03(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the execution and delivery by the Company of each of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of the Company and approved by the Board, and other than required stockholder approval, no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize any of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. Each of the Transaction Agreements to which the Company is a party has been or, upon execution, shall have been duly executed and delivered by it, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties) each of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party constitutes or, upon execution, shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. The Board has approved each of the Transaction Agreements to which the Company is a party and the transactions contemplated thereby and such approvals are sufficient so that the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203(b) of the DGCL shall not apply to the Reverse Stock Split or the Tender Offer. To the Knowledge of the Company, no other state takeover Law is applicable to any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Agreements.

(b) Pursuant to the DGCL and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the approval of the Certificate Amendment, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Reverse Stock Split requires the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and to the extent shares of 9¾% Preferred are then entitled to vote, 9¾% Preferred (on an as converted basis), voting together as a single class.

SECTION 6.04 No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents. (a) The execution and delivery by the Company of each of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) assuming that the required stockholder approval of any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as contemplated by the Transaction, including the Certificate Amendment, has been obtained, conflict with or violate the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company or the comparable governing documents of any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) assuming that all consents, approvals and other authorizations described in Section 6.04(b) have been obtained and that all filings and other actions described in Section 6.04(b) have been made or taken, conflict with or violate any Law applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) except as described in Section 2.01(a), result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to any Contract to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or a Subsidiary or any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, except, (x) with respect to clause (iii), as would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to carry out its obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, each of the Transaction Agreements to which the Company is a party and would not, and (y) with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The execution and delivery by the Company of each of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or other order of, action by, filing with, registration or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except for (i) applicable requirements, if any, of the Exchange Act, Securities Act, or state securities or “blue sky” laws (“Blue Sky Laws”), (ii) the pre-merger notification and waiting period requirements of the HSR Act, (iii) the FCC Application, (iv) the FCC Approval, (v) the filing and recordation of the Proposed Amendments, any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as contemplated by the Transaction, including the Certificate Amendment, and each of the New Preferred Stock Certificates of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the DGCL, (vi) where failure to obtain such consent, approval, authorization or action, or to make such filing or notification, would not prevent or materially delay the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party and (vii) as may be necessary as a result of any facts or circumstances relating solely to CIG or the NBCU Entities or any of their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 6.05 Permits; Compliance. (a) Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances, exceptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders of any Governmental Authority, in each case applicable to the Company and its Subsidiaries, including all authorizations under the Communications Act, necessary for each of the Company or the Subsidiaries to own, lease and operate its properties, including the Company Stations, or to carry on its business as it is now being conducted (the “Permits”), except where the failure to have, or the suspension or cancellation of, any of the Permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Company from performing its obligations under the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party and would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Company, no suspension or cancellation of any of the Permits is pending or threatened that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with (i) any Law applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (ii) any Contract or Permit to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any Subsidiary or any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound, except for any such conflicts, defaults, breaches or violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Company from performing its obligations under the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party and would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Company Station, including physical facilities, electrical and mechanical systems, and transmitting and studio equipment, is operated in compliance with the Communications Act and the specifications of the FCC Licenses; (ii) the antenna structures owned or used by each Company Station are in compliance with the Communications Act and the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration; (iii) the location and staffing of each Company Station’s main studio comply with the Communications Act; (iv) all reports and other filings required by the FCC with respect to the FCC Licenses and each Company Station (including, without limitation, all required children’s television and equal employment opportunity reports) have been filed in material compliance with the FCC rules and regulations; and (v) all FCC regulatory fees have been timely paid.

(d) Section 6.05(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate list of the FCC Licenses and the authorized holder and the expiration date of the term (including any renewals, extensions or modifications thereof) of each of the FCC Licenses. The FCC Licenses are, except as described in Section 6.05(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, in full force and effect and have not been revoked, suspended, canceled, rescinded or terminated and their respective terms are not subject to any conditions other than those applicable to broadcast licenses generally or as otherwise disclosed on the face of the FCC Licenses. Except as described in

Section 6.05(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, there is no Action pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary or affecting the FCC Licenses or requesting revocation, suspension, cancellation or non-renewal of any of the FCC Licenses by or before the FCC, except for the FCC rulemaking proceedings generally affecting the television broadcast industry. Except as set forth in Section 6.05(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, there are no unsatisfied, outstanding or pending, or to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, by or before the FCC, orders to show cause, notices of violation, notices of apparent liability, notices of forfeiture or complaints issued against the Company or any of the Company Stations. To the Knowledge of the Company, there is no reason to believe that the FCC Licenses will not be renewed in the ordinary course. The FCC Licenses listed on Section 6.05(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter include all of the principal station licenses issued by the FCC that are used in or required for the operation of the Company Stations under the Communications Act. Except for pending applications for renewal of licenses for certain of the Company Stations, as of the date of this Agreement there are no proceedings, complaints, notices of forfeiture, claims or investigations pending, or to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, that would materially impair the ability of Mr. Paxson or PMC to transfer control of the Call Shares to CIG or which would materially impede Mr. Paxson’s or PMC’s ability to prosecute the FCC Application.

(e) The Company Stations have been assigned channels by the FCC for the provision of digital television (“DTV”) service. The channel assignments have not been vacated, reversed, stayed, set aside, annulled or suspended, nor are they subject to any pending appeal, request for stay, or petition for rehearing, reconsideration or review by any person or by the FCC on its own motion, and the time for filing any such appeal, request, petition or similar document for the reconsideration or review by the FCC on its own motion has expired. To the Knowledge of the Company, there are no pending or anticipated petitions for rulemaking or notices of proposed rulemaking to reallocate the DTV allotment of any of the Company Stations, or to reallocate the DTV allotment of any other station in a manner that could affect the DTV operations of any of the Company Stations, nor were any requests to such effect filed with the FCC in its consideration of a final DTV table of allotments. All of the Company Stations are operating DTV facilities at full licensed power, or as set forth on Section 6.05 of the Company Disclosure Letter, have been authorized by the FCC, or have applied for authorization from the FCC, to defer full power DTV operation.

SECTION 6.06 SEC Filings; Financial Statements. (a) The Company has filed or furnished, as the case may be, on a timely basis, all forms, reports and documents required to be filed by it with the SEC since January 1, 2005, including (i) its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, (ii) all proxy statements relating to the Company’s meetings of stockholders (whether annual or special) held since January 1, 2005 and (iii) all other forms, certifications, reports and registration statements filed by the Company with the SEC since January 1, 2005 (the forms, certifications, reports, statements and other documents referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, and those filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of this Agreement, and as amended, being, collectively, the “SEC Reports”). The SEC Reports, including any financial statements or schedules included therein, (i) were prepared in accordance with the requirements of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and (ii) did not, at the time they were filed, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment,

contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No Subsidiary is required to file any form, report or other document with the SEC.

(b) Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any notes and schedules thereto) contained in or incorporated by reference into the SEC Reports was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and each fairly presents, in all material respects, or, in the case of the SEC Reports filed after the date of this Agreement, will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to notes and normal year-end adjustments that will not be material in amount or effect), except as otherwise noted therein.

(c) Except as and to the extent set forth on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, including the notes thereto (the “2006 Balance Sheet”), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any liability or obligation of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), except for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since January 1, 2007, liabilities or obligations incurred in connection with the Transaction and described in Section 6.06(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, or liabilities or obligations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Company from performing its obligations under the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party and would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company has made available to CIG and the NBCU Entities complete and correct copies of, all written descriptions of, and all policies, manuals and other documents promulgating, such disclosure controls and procedures. As used in this Section 6.06, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC. Documents filed with the SEC by the Company and publicly available via the SEC’s EDGAR system shall be considered to have been made available by the Company to CIG and the NBCU Entities. The Company has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to the Company’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Board (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, known to the Company, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

(h) The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP.

To the extent that any Compensation Action was approved after the date of the first discussion of a potential tender offer between the Company or the Board, on the one hand, and CIG, CLP or the NBCU Entities, on the other hand, the compensation committee of the Board was, at the time of each such approval, aware of such potential tender offer.

SECTION 6.08 Absence of Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary before any Governmental Authority that (a) individually or in the aggregate, has had or reasonably would be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) seeks to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements to which the Company is a party or otherwise prevent or materially delay the Company from performing its obligations thereunder.

There is no present intention that any Company Benefit Plan be materially amended, suspended or terminated at any time within the twelve months immediately following the date of this Agreement.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, at any time during the last six years, contributed to or been obligated to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan other than a plan listed on Section 6.09(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries would be reasonably expected to have any liability to a Multiemployer Plan as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (as those terms are defined in Part I of Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA) that has not been satisfied in full.

(e) Each Company Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has been issued a favorable determination letter by the IRS with respect to such qualification, its related trust has been determined to be exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code and no event has occurred since the date of such qualification or exemption that would

reasonably be expected to result in the loss of such qualification or exemption. Each Company Benefit Plan has been established and administered in material compliance with its terms and with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable Laws. With respect to the Company Benefit Plans, no event has occurred and no condition exists that would subject the Company by reason of its being treated as a single employer with any entity under Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code to any material (i) Tax, penalty, fine, (ii) Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) or (iii) other liability imposed by ERISA, the Code or other applicable Laws.

(g) Except as contemplated by the 2005 Agreements, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or in combination with another event) (i) result in any payment becoming due, or increase the amount of any compensation or benefits due, from the Company or any Subsidiary to any current or former employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries or with respect to any Company Benefit Plan; (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Company Benefit Plan; (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such compensation or benefits; (iv) result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code; (v) limit or restrict the right of the Company to merge, amend or terminate any of the Company Benefit Plans; or (vi) result in the payment by the Company or any Subsidiary of any amount that would, individually or in combination with any other such payment, reasonably be expected to constitute an “excess parachute payment,” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code in excess of $5,000,000.

(h) With respect to any Company Benefit Plan or any current or former employee of any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (i) no Actions (including any administrative investigation, audit or other proceeding by the Department of Labor or the IRS but other than routine claims for benefits in the ordinary course) are pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, and (ii) to the Knowledge of the Company, no events or conditions have occurred or exist that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any such Actions.

Each Company Benefit Plan that requires registration with a Governmental Authority has been properly registered, except where any failure to register, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(j) Each Company Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) of the Company (including Company Benefit Plans pursuant to which “stock rights” (as defined in Treas. Reg. §1409A-1(e)) have been granted) has been operated since January 1, 2005 either pursuant to a grandfathering exemption from Section 409A of the Code or in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the proposed regulations, the final regulations and other guidance issued thereunder.

(a) (i) As of the date of this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 6.10 of the Company Disclosure Letter, and (ii) as of any date subsequent to the date of this Agreement except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (x) none of the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries is represented by a union and, to the knowledge of the Company, no union organizing efforts have been conducted or threatened since January 1, 2005 or are being conducted or threatened, (y) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or is negotiating any collective bargaining agreement or other labor Contract, and (z) there is no pending and, to the Knowledge of the Company, there is no threatened material strike, picket, work stoppage, work slowdown or other organized labor dispute affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Time. Further, the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company after the Effective Time shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of former or present directors and officers than are presently set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals, except as amendments may be required by the DGCL during such period.

(b) The Company shall, at its option, either (A) purchase a tail policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which shall be in effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time, if available, and shall contain substantially the same coverage and amount as, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous, in the aggregate, than the coverage provided in the D&O Insurance Policies or (B) use its reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect for six years from the Effective Time, if available, the D&O Insurance Policies (provided that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable), in either case with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to expend pursuant to this Section 10.06(b) more than $2,500,000 as a premium for the tail policy or an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance (which premiums the Company represents and warrants to be $940,000 in the aggregate), as the case may be.

(c) In the event the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company or at CIG’s option, CIG, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 10.06.

(d) This Section 10.06 shall continue in effect subsequent to the Effective Time, is intended to benefit the Company and each Indemnified D&O, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company, and shall be enforceable by the Indemnified D&O. The provisions of this Section 10.06 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified D&O, his or her heirs, and his or her representatives and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

SECTION 10.07 Notification of Certain Matters.

(b) Each of the parties agrees not to, and shall not permit any of its respective affiliates to, take any action in connection with or related to the Transaction that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impede receipt of the FCC Approval.

In the event CIG chooses to pay such exercise price in shares of Class A Common Stock, NBCU may, at its discretion, elect to receive an equal number of shares of Class C Common Stock instead of Class A Common Stock.

SECTION 13.02 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transaction is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in

order that the Transaction be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 13.03 Entire Agreement; Assignment. The Transaction Agreements and the Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules thereto contain the entire agreement among the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, and supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to such subject matter, and there are no agreements or understandings among the parties with respect to such subject matter other than those set forth or referred to therein. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party hereto without the express prior written consent of all other parties hereto, except that each of CIG and the NBCU Entities may assign all or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to its respective Affiliates, provided that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 13.04 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than Section 10.06 (which is intended to be for the benefit of the Persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such Persons).

SECTION 13.05 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

SECTION 13.06 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State (other than those provisions set forth herein that are required to be governed by the DGCL). All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York. The parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the Transaction may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

SECTION 13.07 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 13.08 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction. Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 13.08.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company, the NBCU Entities and CIG have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.

ANNEX A

Conditions to the Tender Offer

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Tender Offer Documents, CIG shall not be required to accept for payment any shares of Class A Common stock tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer, if (i) the waiting period applicable to the Transaction under the HSR Act has not expired or been terminated, in which case CIG may extend the Tender Offer, or (ii) there shall be any Law restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or preventing the consummation of the Tender Offer, in which case CIG may extend or terminate the Tender Offer.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of CIG and its Affiliates and may be asserted by CIG regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition and may be waived by CIG, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to the Commencement Date, in its sole discretion; provided, that CIG may not assert the foregoing conditions if the occurrence of any such condition is caused by CIG’s breach, violation or non-performance of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party. The failure by CIG at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right; the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and other circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances; and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
