NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and undertakings contained herein, subject to and on the terms and conditions herein set forth, and intending to be bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

Merger

Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, MergerCo shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”) at the Effective Time. Following the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of MergerCo shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of MergerCo in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 1.2 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 885 Third Avenue, Suite 1000, New York, New York 10022, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the date that is three Business Days after the conditions set forth in Article 6 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), unless another time, date or place is mutually agreed to in writing by the parties. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to hereinafter as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3 Effective Time; Effects of the Merger.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, immediately following the Closing, the parties hereto shall cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in such form as required by, and in accordance with applicable provisions of, the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time that the Certificate of Merger is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date and time as specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

(b) The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and Section 251 of the DGCL.

Section 1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. At the Effective Time, (i) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in Exhibit A, and as so amended and restated, will be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and (ii) the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read as set forth in Exhibit B and, as so amended and restated, will be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law and the applicable provisions of the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.5 Directors and Officers. The directors of MergerCo immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and the officers of MergerCo immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.6 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) Conversion of MergerCo Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party hereto or the holder thereof, each share of capital stock of MergerCo issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation and thereupon each certificate representing ownership of such shares of common stock of MergerCo shall thereafter represent ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Conversion of Company Shares. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including Section 1.8, each share of Company Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, MergerCo, the Company or the holder of such Company Stock, be canceled and extinguished and be converted into and shall become the right to receive consideration with a value equal to its Pro Rata Portion of the Closing Merger Consideration, in the form set forth in the Closing Statement, plus any amounts or other consideration, if any, to be distributed to Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.7(e) and Section 8.12(b).

Section 1.7 Purchase Price.

(a) At least three (and no more than 10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer a certificate, executed on its behalf by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, prepared in good faith setting forth in reasonable detail (including a balance sheet showing the calculation of Net Working Capital) (1) its estimate prepared in accordance with the accounting principles set forth on Exhibit E of the Purchase Price (and the following components thereof) (the “Estimated Purchase Price”), which shall equal the Base Merger Consideration, minus (i) the estimated amount of Closing Date Indebtedness, minus (ii) the estimated aggregate amount of the Unpaid Transaction Expenses, plus (iii) the estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment (which may be a negative number), plus (iv) the estimated amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents, minus (v) the Holdback Amount, minus (vi) the Pension Adjustment Amount, minus (vii) the Representative Fund Amount, minus (viii) the

Closing Tower Adjustment Amount and (2) the amounts of each of Cash Consideration and Common Stock Consideration payable to each Stockholder in respect of its Pro Rata Portion of the Closing Merger Consideration (the “Closing Statement”).

(b) Closing Payments. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or shall cause MergerCo or the Surviving Corporation to pay, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, as follows:

(i) the Cash Consideration payable to each holder of Company Stock, as set forth in the Closing Statement, to the accounts designated by the Company for each Stockholder at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(ii) the amounts set forth in the applicable payoff letters provided to Buyer pursuant to Section 4.17 to the holders of the Closing Date Indebtedness named therein;

(iii) the amounts set forth on the Closing Statement to satisfy the Unpaid Transaction Expenses designated by the Company; provided, with respect to the service providers listed on Schedule 1.7(b)(iii), the Company shall provide to Buyer final invoices for any Unpaid Transaction Expenses payable to such service providers at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date; provided, further, that the Company hereby agrees that, to the extent available, it will use any available Cash and Cash Equivalents to pay expenses which would otherwise become Unpaid Transaction Expenses to the extent they remain unpaid as of the opening of business on the Closing Date; and

(iv) the Representative Fund Amount to the account designated by the Stockholders’ Representative at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(i) issue and deliver to each Stockholder who is receiving Stock Consideration (the “Continuing Stockholders”) and who has executed and delivered to Buyer a sophisticated investor letter, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, that number of Buyer Common Shares set forth next to such Continuing Stockholder’s name under the column “Closing Stock Consideration” on the Closing Statement; and

(ii) deposit in the Holdback Escrow Account, a number of shares equal to the Holdback Amount, in the amounts and names of the Stockholders as set forth next to such Continuing Stockholder’s name under the column “Holdback Amount” on the Closing Statement.

(d) Determination of Final Purchase Price.

(i) As soon as practicable, but no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative proposed calculations, prepared in accordance with the accounting principles set forth on Exhibit E of (A) Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Adjustment, including a balance sheet showing the calculation of Net Working Capital, (B) the amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents, (C) the amount of Closing Date Indebtedness, (D) the amount of Unpaid Transaction Expenses and, based on the foregoing, (E) the Purchase Price (which calculations shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Final Closing Date Calculations”).

(ii) If the Stockholders’ Representative does not give written notice of any dispute (a “Purchase Price Dispute Notice”) to Buyer within 45 days of receiving the Final Closing Date Calculations, the Final Closing Date Calculations shall be final and binding on the parties and shall be deemed to set forth the final Net Working Capital, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Date Indebtedness, Unpaid Transaction Expenses and Purchase Price, in each case, for purposes of determining the Actual Adjustment Amount. Prior to the end of such 45-day period, the Stockholders’ Representative may accept the Final Closing Date Calculations by delivering written notice to that effect to Buyer, in which case the Purchase Price will be finally determined when such notice is given. If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers a Purchase Price Dispute Notice to Buyer within such 45-day period, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve only such disputed items during the 30-day period commencing on the date Buyer receives the Purchase Price Dispute Notice from the Stockholders’ Representative. The Purchase Price Dispute Notice shall set forth the Stockholders’ Representative’s calculation of each disputed amount in reasonable detail. If the Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer do not agree upon a final resolution with respect to such disputed items within such 30-day period, then the remaining items in dispute shall be submitted immediately to a nationally recognized, independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative (in either case, the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall be requested to render a determination of the applicable dispute within 30 days after referral of the matter to such Accounting Firm, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor. The terms of appointment and engagement of the Accounting Firm shall be as agreed upon between the Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer, and any associated engagement fees shall be initially borne 50% by the Stockholders’ Representative and 50% by Buyer; provided that such fees shall ultimately be borne by the Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be

determined by the Accounting Firm at the time the determination of the Accounting Firm is rendered on the merits of the disputed items. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in connection with resolving any dispute pursuant to this Section 1.7 before the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the party incurring such cost and expense. In resolving the disputed items, the Accounting Firm (A) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 1.7 (and the definitions of defined terms), (B) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value claimed for such item or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Buyer or the Stockholders’ Representative, and (C) shall limit its decision to such items as are in dispute and to only those adjustments as are necessary for the Final Closing Date Calculations to be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles set forth on Exhibit E and to comply with other the provisions of this Agreement. Such determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The Final Closing Date Calculations shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 1.7(d)(ii) and, as so revised, such Final Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set forth the final Net Working Capital, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Closing Date Indebtedness, Unpaid Transaction Expenses and Purchase Price, in each case, for all purposes hereunder (including the determination of the Actual Adjustment Amount).

(iii) Following Buyer’s delivery of the Final Closing Date Calculations, until finally resolved pursuant to this Section 1.7(d), Buyer shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make the Surviving Corporation’s financial records relevant to the Final Closing Date Calculations available to the Stockholders’ Representative and its accountants and other representatives upon reasonable notice during normal business hours during the review by the Stockholders’ Representative of, and the resolution of any objections with respect to, the Final Closing Date Calculations.

(e) Adjustment to Estimated Purchase Price.

(i) If the Actual Adjustment Amount is positive, Buyer shall, within three Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.7, issue and deliver to each Stockholder Additional Shares having a value (based on the Buyer Common Share Value) equal to its Pro Rata Portion of the Actual Adjustment Amount, or at Buyer’s election, in lieu of delivering additional Buyer Common Shares, Buyer may pay to each Stockholder all or a portion of its Pro Rata Portion of the Actual Adjustment Amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the Stockholders’ Representative. In addition, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the

Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to each Continuing Stockholder the Buyer Common Shares set forth next to such Continuing Stockholder’s name under the column “Holdback Amount” on the Closing Statement.

(ii) If the Actual Adjustment Amount is negative, then within three Business Days after the date on which the Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.7, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to: (A) if the absolute value of such negative amount equals or exceeds the Holdback Amount, disburse to Buyer all of the Buyer Common Shares comprising the Holdback Amount for immediate cancellation of such Buyer Common Shares and (B) if the absolute value of such negative amount is less than the Holdback Amount (such difference, the “Holdback Excess Amount”), release (1) to Buyer a portion of the Buyer Common Shares comprising the Holdback Amount equal to the absolute value of such negative amount (based on the Buyer Common Share Value) for immediate cancellation of such Buyer Common Shares and (2) to each Continuing Stockholder, Buyer Common Shares equal to the product of (I) the Buyer Common Shares set forth next to such Continuing Stockholder’s name under the column “Holdback Amount” on the Closing Statement, multiplied by (II) (x) the Holdback Excess Amount, divided by (y) the Holdback Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holdback Amount shall be the sole source of recovery for any payment required to be made pursuant to this Section 1.7(e)(ii).

(f) Tower Adjustment.

(i) If the Tower Disposition has not been consummated prior to Closing, then promptly, but no later than 20 days, following the consummation of the Tower Disposition, the Stockholder’s Representative shall deliver to Buyer the calculation of the Actual Tower Adjustment Amount. If Buyer disputes any portion of the calculation of the Actual Tower Adjustment Amount within 30 days of receipt of such calculation, the parties will abide by the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 1.7(d)(ii).

(ii) If the Actual Tower Adjustment Amount is negative, Buyer shall, within five Business Days after the date on which the Tower Adjustment Amount is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.7, deliver to each Stockholder Additional Shares having a value (based on the Buyer Common Share Value) equal to its Pro Rata Portion of the absolute value of the Actual Tower Adjustment Amount. At Buyer’s election, in lieu of delivering additional Buyer Common Shares, Buyer may pay to each Stockholder all or a portion of its Pro Rata Portion of the Actual Tower Adjustment Amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the Stockholders’ Representative.

(iii) If the Actual Tower Adjustment Amount is positive, then promptly, but no later than five Business Days after the date on which the Tower Adjustment Amount is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.7, each Continuing Stockholder shall instruct its broker (or other party managing holding such Continuing Stockholder’s Buyer Common Shares) to deliver or cause to be delivered (as promptly thereafter as practicable) to Buyer for cancellation that number of Buyer Common Shares having a value (based on the Buyer Common Share Value) equal to its pro rata portion (based on the allocations in the Closing Statement) of the Actual Tower Adjustment Amount.

(iv) In all cases, the Stockholders shall be entitled to receive 100% of the net cash proceeds from the Tower Disposition, whether or not the Tower Disposition is consummated prior to Closing. If the Tower Disposition is consummated prior to the Closing Date, such net cash proceeds from the Tower Disposition will be distributed to the Stockholders prior to the Closing Date.

(g) Each of the Buyer Parties, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and any Affiliate of the foregoing shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts or consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment by applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 1.8 Letter of Transmittal. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall mail to each holder of record of Company Stock a letter of transmittal in a form reasonably agreed by Buyer and the Company (a “Letter of Transmittal”). Upon delivery of a duly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Company in accordance with such instructions (whether before or after the Closing), the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, its Pro Rata Portion of the Closing Merger Consideration payable in respect of each share of Company Stock.

Section 1.9 Closing Deliverables. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to Buyer, duly executed counterparts to the Investor Rights Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

ARTICLE 2

Representations and Warranties of the Company

Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter (it being understood and agreed that each disclosure set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to qualify or modify each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Article 2 to the extent the applicability of the disclosure to such representation and warranty is reasonably apparent from the text of the disclosure made), the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer Parties as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as follows:

Section 2.1 Corporate Status. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing (where such concept is recognized) in all jurisdictions in which it is required to be so qualified or in good standing, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available to the Buyer Parties true, correct and complete copies of the Organizational Documents of the Company, each as in effect as of the date hereof. Each of the Organizational Documents of the Company is in full force and effect, and the Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of such documents other than immaterial violations. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own and operate the Company Stations, to use the Company Station assets and to carry on the business of the Company Stations.

Section 2.2 Corporate and Governmental Authorization.

(a) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and, subject to the Stockholder Approval, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger). The execution and delivery of this Agreement and all of the Ancillary Documents to be executed and delivered by the Company to the Buyer Parties, the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action of the Company other than obtaining the Stockholder Approval, and, other than obtaining the Stockholder Approval, no additional corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any corporate proceedings which may be required to consummate the transactions contemplated by Section 4.13 or Section 4.19). This Agreement has been, and at the time they are executed and delivered each Ancillary Document to which the Company is a party will be, duly executed and delivered by the

Company. This Agreement does, and when executed the Ancillary Documents to which the Company is a party will, constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, receivership or similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether considered at law or in equity).

(b) The affirmative vote of Stockholders who collectively own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s voting stock irrevocably approving the adoption of this Agreement and the Merger (the “Stockholder Approval”) is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Company necessary to adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the performance of its obligations hereunder (including the Merger) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or their respective assets, other than (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other states in which the Company is qualified to do business, (ii) compliance with any applicable requirements of the HSR Act, (iii) compliance with any applicable requirements of the Company FCC Licenses or Communications Laws (including obtaining the FCC Consent) and (iv) any actions or filings under Law (other than the Laws referred to in clause (ii) and (iii)) the absence of which would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to materially impair, prevent or materially delay the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger).

Section 2.3 Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the performance of its obligations hereunder (including the Merger) do not (i) conflict with or breach any provision of the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Sections 2.2(b) and (c), conflict in any material respect with or materially breach any provision of any Law applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, (iii) require any notice to or consent of or other action by any Person under, constitute a default or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under, or cause or permit termination, cancellation, amendment, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit under, any provision of any Company Material Contract or any material Permit affecting the Company or its Subsidiaries, except, in each case as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to be materially adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any material Lien other than Permitted Liens on any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 2.4 Capitalization.

Section 4.3 Efforts to Close. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided (including Section 4.4), each of Buyer, MergerCo and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the satisfaction, but not waiver, of the closing conditions set forth in Article 6).

Section 4.4 Governmental Approvals; Third Party Consents.

(a) The Company and the Buyer Parties shall cooperate (i) to use reasonable best efforts to make as promptly as practicable all filings and applications with and to,

and obtain, as promptly as practicable, all licenses, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of, applicable Governmental Authorities to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the other, consents from other Persons, if any, listed on Section 2.3 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

All filing fees incurred in connection with the HSR Act will be split equally between Buyer and the Company.

(c) In furtherance of the provisions set forth in Section 4.4(a), as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, but no later than ten (10) Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to prepare and cooperate in submitting to the FCC applications seeking FCC consent to the transactions contemplated hereby (“FCC Applications”) and all other materials necessary and proper in connection with such FCC Applications. The FCC Applications shall include all necessary applications with the FCC to request consent to the assignment of the FCC licenses and authorizations set forth

in Section 4.4(c) of Buyer’s Disclosure Letter to a qualified divestiture trust, in order to comply with the provisions of Section 73.3555(a) of the FCC’s rules (the “Divestiture Application”). Buyer and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) prosecute the FCC Applications and obtain the FCC Consent as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, including the expeditious submission of any additional information requested by the FCC or required by applicable Law (whether through an amendment to the FCC Applications or otherwise), (ii) to the extent practicable, provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed submission to the FCC before it is filed, and any communication to the FCC before it is initiated, (iii) provide the other party with copies of any material written communications to or from the FCC with respect to the FCC Applications, and relay the substance of any oral communications from the FCC with respect to the FCC Applications expeditiously upon receipt, (iv) notify the other party or party as soon as reasonably practicable in the event it becomes aware of any other facts or circumstances that directly or indirectly may affect the issuance of the FCC Consent, (v) oppose any petitions to deny or other objections filed with respect to the FCC Applications and any requests for reconsideration or judicial review of the FCC Consent to the extent such petition, objection or request for reconsideration or review relates to such party and (vi) not knowingly take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay, materially impede or prevent receipt of the FCC Consent and its becoming a Final Order. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party will be solely responsible for the expenses incurred by it in the preparation, filing and prosecution of its respective portion(s) of the FCC Applications; however, the fees paid to the FCC in conjunction with the FCC Applications will be split equally between Buyer and the Company.

(d) Buyer agrees to take promptly all actions that are necessary or reasonably advisable or as may be required by any Governmental Authority to expeditiously consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (A) committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust or otherwise, selling, licensing or otherwise divesting of, or holding separate and agreeing to sell, license or otherwise dispose of, any entities, assets or facilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any entity, facility or asset of Buyer or its Affiliates, (B) terminating, amending or assigning existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations (other than terminations that would result in a breach of a contractual obligation to a third party) and (C) amending, assigning or terminating existing licenses or other agreements (other than terminations that would result in a breach of a license or such other agreement with a third party) and entering into such new licenses or other agreements, in each case so long as such actions would not result in a Material Adverse Effect or a Buyer Material Adverse Effect. In the event any claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding by any Governmental Authority or other Person is commenced which questions the validity or legality of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeks damages in connection therewith, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to defend

against such claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding and, if an injunction or other order is issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding, to use reasonable best efforts to have such injunction or other order lifted, and to cooperate reasonably regarding any other impediment to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, (i) nothing herein shall obligate or be construed to obligate Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to make, or to cause to be made, any payment to any third party in order to obtain the consent or approval of such third party under any Contract and (ii) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be permitted to waive any right, modify any Contract, or offer any accommodation or concession (financial or otherwise) to any third party (other than payments of de minimis amounts) in order to obtain the consent or approval of such third party under any Contract without the consent of Buyer. With respect to any Company Material Contract scheduled as an exception to Section 2.3, the Company, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each cooperate in good faith and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent prior to the Closing.

Section 4.5 Exclusive Dealing. Other than as contemplated by Section 4.13, during the period from the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, take, nor shall it permit any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents to take, any action to solicit, encourage, initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to or respond to any proposals or inquiries from, or enter into any agreement with any Person (other than Buyer, MergerCo and/or their respective Affiliates) (or authorize or consent to any of the foregoing actions) concerning any direct or indirect purchase of beneficial ownership of any of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ equity securities or any merger, sale of substantial assets or similar transaction involving the Company and its Subsidiaries, other than assets sold in the ordinary course of business, in accordance with Section 4.1(a) (each such acquisition transaction, an “Acquisition Transaction”); provided, however, that each of Buyer and MergerCo hereby acknowledges that prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company has provided information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries and has afforded access to, and engaged in discussions with, other Persons in connection with a proposed Acquisition Transaction. As of the date of this Agreement, the Company has terminated access to the electronic data room maintained by the Company and its advisors for every third party except Buyer, MergerCo and their respective Affiliates, officers, employees and advisors and has terminated any discussions regarding an Acquisition Transaction with any such third party and has requested that each such third party return to the Company or destroy all “Evaluation Material” (as such term is defined by the confidentiality agreement between the Company and such third party).

Section 4.6 Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a) For a period beginning on the Closing Date and continuing thereafter for 12 months (the “Continuation Period”), Buyer shall provide, or shall cause the Company and its Affiliates to provide, employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing who continue employment with the Company following the Closing (the “Company Employees”) with (i) rates of annual base salary or wage level and annual and target cash bonus opportunities disclosed to Buyer prior to the date hereof (excluding performance goals and the value of long-term incentives, to the extent applicable) that are at least equal to that provided to each such Company Employee by the Company or its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date, and (ii) subject to the requirements of Buyer’s group health and welfare plan, employee benefits (excluding long-term incentives, to the extent applicable) that are no less favorable than the benefits and terms and conditions provided to each such Company Employee by the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing Date or provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates; provided, however, that, subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.6, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to (A) terminate the employment of any Company Employee at any time, (B) change or modify the terms or conditions of employment for any Company Employee or (C) change or modify any employee benefit plan or arrangement.

(b) For all purposes under the employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements established or maintained by Buyer, the Company and their respective Affiliates in which Company Employees may be eligible to participate during the Continuation Period (the “New Benefit Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with the same amount of service as was credited by the Company and its Affiliates as of the Closing under similar or comparable Company Benefit Plans (including for purposes of eligibility participation, vesting, benefit accrual and eligibility to receive benefits); provided that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any benefit and shall not enable any Company Employee to be entitled to receive any benefit under the New Benefit Plans that would exceed any limitation of general application thereunder. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Continuation Period, (i) with respect to any New Benefit Plans in which the Company Employees may be eligible to participate following the Closing, each Company Employee will immediately be eligible to participate in such New Benefit Plans, without any waiting time, to the extent coverage under such New Benefit Plans replaces coverage under a similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee was eligible to participate immediately before such commencement of participation (such plans, collectively, the “Old Benefit Plans”) and (ii) for purposes of each New Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical

and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Benefit Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent any such exclusions or requirements were waived or were inapplicable under any similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date. During the Continuation Period, Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law (including, but not limited to ERISA), use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year in which the Company Employee participates in the Old Benefit Plans and ending on the date such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Benefit Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Benefit Plan.

(c) With respect to any Company Employee whose employment is terminated by Buyer during the Continuation Period or by the Company or any of their respective Affiliates during the Continuation Period, Buyer shall provide, or shall cause its Affiliates to provide, severance benefits to such Company Employee, which shall be determined and payable in accordance with the severance benefit plan or agreement maintained by the Company or any of its Affiliates for the benefit of such Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, taking into account such Company Employee’s period of continuous service with the Company, Buyer and their respective Affiliates immediately prior to such termination in determining the amount of severance benefits payable.

(d) This Section 4.6 shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 4.6, express or implied, shall confer on any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever. Nothing contained in this Section 4.6 shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 4.6 shall not create any right in any Company Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with the Company, Buyer or its Affiliates or any other Person or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

Section 4.7 Director and Officer Liability, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Buyer and MergerCo agree that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the current and former directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, as provided in their respective Organizational Documents or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof with respect to any

matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time and that the Company and its Subsidiaries will perform and discharge their respective obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation after the Merger. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, such indemnification shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and the Surviving Corporation shall advance reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with such indemnification as provided in such entity’s Organizational Documents or other applicable agreements; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person is not entitled to indemnification or to the extent otherwise required by Law. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, the indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Effective Time or at any time prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, unless such modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) Prior to or at the Closing, the Company shall purchase a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Effective Time with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time. Such policy shall provide coverage that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, underwritten by one or more insurers with an A.M. Best rating no less than the A.M. Best rating of the insurers of the current policies. Each of the Company and Buyer shall pay 50% of the costs of such “tail” policy for such six-year period. Following the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect for a period of six years after the Effective Time without any lapses in coverage, such policy in full force and effect and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(c) The directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 4.7 are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4.7. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation.

Section 4.8 Financing.

(a) Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to take and cause to be taken, all actions, and use its reasonable best efforts to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary,

proper or advisable to obtain the proceeds of the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter as promptly as practicable taking into account customary blackout periods, but in any event, on or prior to the End Date, including (i) maintaining in effect the Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms, (ii) negotiating definitive agreements with respect to the Financing (the “Definitive Agreements”) on terms and conditions (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) that are no less favorable to Buyer in the aggregate than those contained in the Commitment Letter (taking into account the exercise of such “flex” provisions), (iii) satisfying all conditions applicable to Buyer or Merger Sub in the Commitment Letter and the Definitive Agreements at or prior to the Closing that are within Buyer’s or any of its Affiliates’ control (other than those conditions and obligations that are waived by the Debt Financing Sources) and otherwise complying with its obligations thereunder and (iv) enforcing its rights under the Commitment Letter. In the event that all conditions contained in any Commitment Letter and Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Agreement have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) or waived, Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Debt Financing Sources to comply with their respective obligations, including to fund the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses on the Closing Date. Buyer shall give the Company prompt notice of (x) any material breach by any party to the Commitment Letter or any Definitive Agreement of which Buyer has become aware or (y) or any termination of the Commitment Letter.

(i) Buyer shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company: (A) permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letter if such amendment, modification, waiver or remedy (i) adds new (or adversely modifies any existing) conditions to the consummation of all or any portion of the Financing, (ii) reduces the amount of the Financing, (iii) adversely affects the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against the Debt Financing Sources party to the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, relative to the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against such Debt Financing Sources party to the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof or in the Definitive Agreements or (iv) could otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent, substantially impede or substantially delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may without the prior written consent of the Company amend the Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, book-runners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement (with any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing Sources” being deemed to include such additional parties) or (B) terminate the Commitment Letter. Buyer shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification, waiver or replacement after their execution.

(ii) In the event that any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter, Buyer will (1) use reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing (in an amount sufficient, when taken together with the available portion of the Financing and any cash-on-hand of Buyer and its Subsidiaries, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses) on terms and conditions that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, to Buyer or the Company than those contained in the Commitment Letter from the same or other sources and which do not include any conditions to the consummation of such alternative debt financing that are more onerous than the conditions set forth in the Financing and (2) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any alternative financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Commitment Letter remaining in effect at the time in question). Buyer shall provide the Company with prompt notice of (1) any material breach or default by any party to the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements of which Buyer has become aware and (2) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Debt Financing Source with respect to any breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements of any provision thereof, in each case, if such breach or default would reasonably be expected to affect the timely availability of, or the amount of, the Financing. Buyer shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a current basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Financing. The foregoing notwithstanding, compliance by Buyer with this Section 4.8(a) shall not relieve Buyer of its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Financing is available.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take and cause its Subsidiaries and its representatives to, provide, such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with and necessary for the arrangement of the Financing, including (i) upon reasonable advance notice by Buyer, participating at a reasonable time in a customary bank meeting with the parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for, and prospective lenders and purchasers of, the Financing and the members of senior management of the Company, (ii) reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or the Debt Financing Sources and to provide guarantees and security documents and other customary deliverables of the Company or its Subsidiaries (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any solvency certificate), provided that any related obligation shall be effective no earlier than the Effective Time, (iii) furnishing Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources

as promptly as reasonably practicable following the delivery of a written request therefor to the Company by Buyer (which notice shall state with specificity the information requested) with such financial and other information regarding the Company as is customarily required of a subsidiary in connection with the execution of financings of a type similar to the Financing and as is reasonably requested by Buyer to consummate any portion of the Financing (provided that the Company will have no obligation to prepare pro forma financial information or post-closing financial information), (iv) assisting Buyer with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents reasonably necessary for any portion of the Financing, (v) cooperating with Buyer’s legal counsel with respect to any legal opinion that such legal counsel may be required to deliver in connection with the Financing by providing necessary supporting documentation, backup certificates, organizational documents, good standings and incumbency certificates, (vi) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of Buyer and the Debt Financing Sources for all or any portion of the Financing, (vii) using reasonable best efforts to provide (A) documents reasonably requested by Buyer or the Debt Financing Sources relating to the repayment of the existing Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the release of related Liens, including customary payoff letters, lien releases and termination statements, and (B) documentation and other information required by applicable bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and (viii) cooperating with the Debt Financing Sources’ due diligence investigation, to the extent customary and reasonable; it being understood that the Company shall have satisfied its obligations set forth in clauses (i) through (viii) of this sentence unless there has occurred a willful and material breach of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under this Section 4.8(b). The foregoing notwithstanding, (A) neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries, nor any Persons who are directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be required to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Financing or execute or deliver any certificate, document, instrument or agreement that is effective prior to the Effective Time or agree to any change or modification of any existing certificate, document, instrument or agreement that is effective prior to the Effective Time, (B) no obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives undertaken pursuant to the foregoing shall be effective until the Effective Time and (C) none of the Company or its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective representatives shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other cost or expense that is not simultaneously reimbursed by Buyer in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing. Nothing contained in this Section 4.8(b) otherwise shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, prior to the Closing, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Financing. Buyer shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors, incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective

representatives in connection with the cooperation contemplated by this Section 4.8 and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective representatives from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, any action taken by them at the request of Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.8(b) and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries), except to the extent such losses arose out of or result from the fraud of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives.

Section 4.9 Notice of Certain Events. During the period between the date hereof and the Closing, each of the Company and Buyer shall promptly notify the other of: (a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (c) any Litigation commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company or Buyer, as applicable, threatened that (1) if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed by such party pursuant to this Agreement or (2) otherwise relates to this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (d) any (1) inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or (2) failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder, in each case that would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the other party’s obligation to close set forth in Article 6 not to be satisfied; provided, however, that failure of the Company or Buyer to give such notice shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall not affect the other party’s obligations to close the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.10 Control of Company Stations. Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, control, supervise or direct the operation of the Company’s business prior to Closing. Consistent with the Communications Laws, control, supervision and direction of the operation of the Company’s business prior to Closing shall remain the responsibility of the holders of the Company FCC Licenses.

Section 4.11 Public Announcements. Except as required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable stock exchange or Governmental Authority to which the relevant party is subject, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall consult with and allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, neither Buyer nor the Company shall make, or permit any of its Affiliates or representatives to make, any public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated

hereby without the prior written consent of the other party. The parties shall mutually agree upon a joint press release to be issued on the date hereof and at the Closing regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.12 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, at the request of another party, without further consideration, each of the parties shall execute and deliver to such requesting party, or shall cause to be executed and delivered to such requesting party, such additional instruments or documents, and shall take or cause to be taken such other action, as such requesting party may reasonably request in order to consummate more effectively the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) consummate (i) the sale of the radio towers owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries set forth on Section 4.13(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Towers”) and, to the extent set forth on Section 4.13(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the related real property (the “Tower Disposition”) or (ii) if the Tower Disposition does not occur prior to the Closing Date, the distribution of the Towers (and to the extent contemplated by Section 4.13(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the related real property) to the Stockholders, in which event, the Stockholders shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Tower Disposition as promptly as practicable; provided, that (x) the Company shall not include any rights of indemnification against the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any agreement or conveyance document to be entered into in connection with the Tower Disposition and (y) promptly following the date hereof, and in any event prior to the earlier of 30 days following the date hereof and the consummation of the Tower Disposition, the Company shall enter into agreements between the Company, on the one hand, and its applicable Subsidiary that owns each Tower or related real property, on the other hand, which agreements will be transferred to the buyer in the Tower Disposition, pursuant to which the Towers following the consummation of the Tower Disposition, shall have approximately the estimated revenues, costs and expenses set forth on Section 4.13(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and shall contain other terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Buyer and consistent with Section 4.13(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter; and

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i) in the event that the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g) in any circumstance in which the Company would not have been able to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(f), then Buyer shall promptly, but in no event later than five Business Days, after the date of termination of this Agreement, pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, an amount in cash equal to $6,390,000.00 (the “Buyer Termination Fee”); or

This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sections 7.3(c), 8.5, 8.9 and this Section 8.3 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of Sections 7.3(c), 8.5, 8.9 and this Section 8.3) may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated in a manner that is adverse in any material respect to the Debt Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources party to the Commitment Letter. No modification or discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the party against whom enforcement of the modification, discharge or waiver is sought. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating hereto or thereto. Each party irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, or with respect to any such action or proceeding, shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware State or federal court, and that such jurisdiction of such courts shall be exclusive, except solely to

the extent that all such courts do not have subject matter jurisdiction over a particular matter. Each party hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or in respect of any such transaction, that it is not subject to such jurisdiction. Each party hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or in respect of any such transaction, that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each party hereby consents to and grants any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of any such dispute and agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 8.2, or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim or, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Commitment Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof).

(b) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE COMMITMENT LETTER OR ANY AGREEMENTS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY PERSON AGAINST ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCE IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN RELATION TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF.

Section 8.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns; provided that this Agreement shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable by any party without the prior written consent of each other party; provided, further that Buyer and MergerCo shall have the right, without any such consent, to grant a security interest in their rights and interests under this Agreement as collateral or collaterally assign this Agreement to any lenders providing the Financing or any other Person providing financing to the Buyer or its Affiliates, or to any assignee of any such Person;

provided that Buyer shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement, notwithstanding any such assignment or grant of such security interest. Any assignment or transfer in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void.

Section 8.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits, Company Disclosure Letter, Buyer Disclosure Letter, Ancillary Documents and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto), the Confidentiality Agreement and the Buyer Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and representations, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 8.8 Severability. If any provision, including any phrase, sentence, clause, section or subsection, of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable for any reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering such provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend that the remedies and limitations set forth in this Agreement, including Section 7.3 and Section 8.11, shall be construed as an integral provision of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that increases (i) the liability of any party (or the liability of any Financing Source Party) or any of its stockholders, partners, members, managers, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives or agents or (ii) the obligations hereunder.

Section 8.9 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). Except as provided under Section 4.7, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties and their respective successors and assigns. The provisions of Sections 7.3(c), 8.3, 8.5 and this Section 8.9 shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, each Debt Financing Source and their respective successors and permitted assigns, each of which is hereby intended to be an express third party beneficiary of Sections 7.3(c), 8.3, 8.5 and this Section 8.9.

Section 8.10 Conflicts; Privilege. Recognizing that Debevoise & Plimpton LLP has acted as legal counsel to the Company, its Subsidiaries, certain of the Stockholders and certain of their respective Affiliates prior to date hereof, and that Debevoise & Plimpton LLP intends to act as legal counsel to certain of the direct and indirect holders of the Company’s stock and their respective Affiliates (which will no longer include the Company and the Subsidiaries) after the Closing, each of Buyer, MergerCo and the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Debevoise & Plimpton LLP representing any direct or indirect Stockholders or their Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer, MergerCo, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between direct and indirect holders the Company’s stock, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, on the other hand, in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the direct and indirect holders of the Company’s stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries). Accordingly, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall not have access to any such communications or to the files of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP relating to such engagement from and after the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, (a) the direct and indirect holders of the Company’s stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of the Surviving Corporation or the Subsidiaries shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the direct and indirect holders of the Company’s stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries) shall hold such property rights and (c) Debevoise & Plimpton LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Surviving Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Debevoise & Plimpton LLP and the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or otherwise. This Section 8.10 will be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 8.10 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection and expectation of client confidence involving general business matters of the Company (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent relating to the representation of the Company, its Subsidiaries, certain of the Stockholders and certain of their respective Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) and arising prior to the Closing are for the sole benefit of Buyer and the Company.

Section 8.11 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court specified in Section 8.5, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties hereby waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law and the posting of any bond or other security in connection therewith.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties agree that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance against Buyer and MergerCo (i) of Buyer’s obligations under Section 4.8, including, to the extent expressly set forth by Section 4.8, Buyer’s obligation to cause each Debt Financing Source to fund its respective committed portion of the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to pay related fees and expenses on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter and to enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter as contemplated by Section 4.8, (ii) of Buyer’s obligations in respect of the expenses pursuant to Section 4.8, (iii) to enforce Buyer’s and MergerCo’s obligations under Section 4.8, and to prevent any breach by the Buyer of its covenants under this Agreement and (iv) if the Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing, to cause Buyer and MergerCo to consummate the Merger and to effect the Closing in accordance with Article 1.

Section 8.12 Authorization of Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) The Stockholders’ Representative is hereby designated to act, for the benefit of all Stockholders, as representative and the exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Stockholders, in connection with and to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (other than with respect to the Investor Agreements). The Stockholder Written Consents shall ratify and approve such designation. The Stockholders’ Representative is empowered and authorized:

(i) to execute and deliver such waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate referred to herein, in each case, that requires execution and delivery by a Stockholder (other than the Investor Agreements), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as the Stockholders’ Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable;

(ii) as the representative, to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Stockholders and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Stockholders’ Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to

this Agreement and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate referred to herein (other than the Investor Agreements) or the transactions provided for herein, and to take any and all actions which the Stockholders’ Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement for and on behalf of the Stockholders, including asserting or pursuing any claim, action, proceeding or investigation by or against the Buyer Parties and/or the Surviving Corporation and, in connection therewith, to (A) assert any claim or institute any action, proceeding or investigation, (B) investigate, defend, contest or litigate any claim, action, proceeding or investigation initiated by any federal, state or local Governmental Authority against the Stockholders and/or the Stockholders’ Representative, and receive process on behalf of the Stockholders in any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation and compromise or settle on such terms as the Stockholders’ Representative shall determine to be appropriate, and give receipts, releases and discharges with respect to, any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation and (C) file any proofs of debt, claims and petitions as the Stockholders’ Representative may deem advisable or necessary;

(iii) to refrain from enforcing any right of the Stockholders and/or the Stockholders’ Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document in connection with the foregoing (other than the Investor Agreements); provided, however, that no such failure to act on the part of the Stockholders’ Representative, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or interest by the Stockholders’ Representative or the Stockholders unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving party or by the Stockholders’ Representative; and

(iv) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Stockholders’ Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other agreements, documents or instruments referred to herein or executed in connection herewith (other than the Investor Agreements).

(b) The Stockholders’ Representative will not be required to take any action involving any expense unless the payment of such expense from the Representative Fund Amount or otherwise by the Stockholders is made or provided for in a manner satisfactory to the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative shall have the power and authority to use the Representative Fund Amount and any other funds distributed to the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 8.12(b) to satisfy

costs, expenses and/or liabilities of the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with matters related to this Agreement. In the event that the Representative Fund Amount is insufficient to satisfy the Stockholders’ Representative’s expenses, charges and liabilities, then the Stockholders will be obligated to pay the excess. If any balance of the Representative Fund Amount remains undisbursed at such time as all disputes, claims and other matters relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other instruments and agreements to be delivered pursuant hereto have been finally resolved, then the Stockholders’ Representative shall distribute the remaining balance of the Representative Fund Amount to the Stockholders according to the aggregate Pro Rata Portions for all shares of Company Stock held by each Stockholder at the Closing of such balance by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by each Stockholder.

(c) All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and/or any termination of this Agreement.

(d) The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the bankruptcy or liquidation of the Stockholders’ Representative and (ii) shall survive the consummation of the Merger. Stockholders who own a majority of the Company Shares as of the date hereof shall be entitled to replace the Stockholders’ Representative and to fill any vacancy in the position of Stockholders’ Representative due to death, disability or resignation.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, following the Closing: (i) Buyer, MergerCo and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholders’ Representative on all matters within the Stockholders’ Representative’s scope of authority as described in this Section 8.12, and (ii) Buyer, MergerCo and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of the Stockholders by the Stockholders’ Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of the Stockholders by the Stockholders’ Representative, as fully binding upon the Stockholders. A decision, act, consent or instruction following the Closing of the Stockholders’ Representative, in its capacity as such, shall constitute a decision of the Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Stockholders; and Buyer, MergerCo and the Surviving Corporation may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders.
