LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 1st day of January, 1998, by and between The City of Grand Junction, a Colorado home rule city, hereinafter referred to as "the City", and MBC Grand Broadcasting, Inc., a Colorado corporation, hereinafter referred to as "Lessee".

Recitals

A. The City is the owner of certain real property in the County of Mesa, State of Colorado, as described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Said real property, together with the access road for ingress, egress and utilities purposes described on said Exhibit “A”, are hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Property”.

B. The Property has been used, leased and occupied without cessation since 1968 by various parties as a 50 KW radio broadcast transmitting site. Lessee presently owns and operates the radio broadcast transmitting facilities located on, along, over and upon the Property and desires to lease the Property from the City for the sole purposes of operating, maintaining and repairing radio broadcast transmitting facilities and related appurtenances.

C. The City has agreed to Lease the Property to Lessee, and Lessee has agreed to lease the Property from the City, pursuant to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, In consideration of the recitals above and the terms, covenants conditions and restrictions contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Grant of Lease. The City hereby leases the Property to Lessee, and Lessee hereby accepts and leases the Property from the City, for the term stated in Section 3 and subject to each and every other term, covenant, condition and restriction stated in this Lease Agreement.

2. Reservations From Lease. The City retains and reserves unto itself:

(a) all oil, gas, coal and other minerals and mineral rights underlying and/or appurtenant to the Property;

(b) all water and water rights, ditches and ditch rights, appurtenant to and/or connected with the Property, including, but not limited to, any water and/or water rights which may have been previously used on or in connection with the Property, for whatever purpose;

(c) all rights to grant, sell, bargain and convey ownership interest(s) in and to the Property, or any division thereof, to any other party, including the conveyance of easements, so long as such action will not interfere with Lessees’ use and quiet enjoyment of the Property for the purposes set forth in this Agreement;

(d) the proceeds of any award or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other taking of any part of the Property, or for any conveyance in lieu of condemnation. Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to the City any claim it may have to compensation for damages as a result of any condemnation, except for compensation for damages of property of Lessee actually so taken.

3. Term. The term of this Lease shall be for a period of Twenty (20) years (the “Basic Term”), commencing on January 1, 1998 (the “Commencement Date”) and continuing through December 31, 2017, on which date this Lease shall expire unless this Lease is extended pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 or unless this Lease is otherwise terminated as herein provided. The term “lease year” shall mean a period of twelve (12) successive calendar months following each anniversary of the Commencement Date.

4. Option to Extend Lease. If Lessee performs as required pursuant to this Agreement, and if the City chooses, at its sole option and discretion, to again lease the Property at the expiration of the Basic Term, the City hereby gives and grants to Lessee an option to extend this Lease for one (1) additional twenty (20) year period (“second term”). If this Lease is extended for a second term, the second term shall be upon the same terms and conditions of this Agreement or upon other terms and conditions which may hereafter be negotiated between the parties. In order to exercise Lessees’’ option for a second term, Lessee shall give written notice to the City of Lessees’ desire and intention to exercise Lessees’ option to extend not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Basic Term.

5. Rental. Lessee agrees to pay to the City, at the address of the City as set forth in Section 16.2 or at such other address as the City may from time to time designate in writing, an annual rent for the use of the Property as set forth herein.

5.1 The annual rent for the first five (5) years of the Basic Term shall be in the amount of $1,400.00 per lease year (the "Base Rent") and shall be payable in advance and without demand by the City.

5.2 Effective with the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date of the Basic Term and upon each successive fifth anniversary date, the Base Rent for the succeeding five (5) lease years shall be increased by an amount equivalent to the percentage increase in the cost of living since the Commencement Date of the preceding five (5) lease years. The Adjusted Base Rental shall be calculated using the number for All Items under the categories of All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average in the Consumer Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor (the Index), as follows:

A. The Index number for December, 1997 shall be the Base Index Number

(B.I.N.), and the Index number for each November that immediately precedes the five (5) lease years for which the Adjusted Base Rent is to be determined shall be the Current Index Number (C.I.N.). By way of example but not by way of limitation or exclusion, if the sixth lease year of this Lease commences on January 1, 2003, and ends on December 31, 2003, the B.I.N. would be the Index number for December, 1997, and the C.I.N. would be the Index number for November, 2002.

B. The Adjusted Base Rent for any given five (5) lease years shall then be calculated by multiplying the Base Rent by the quotient obtained by dividing the C.I.N. by the B.I.N. as follows:

[Preceding 5 years base rent] (x) [C.I.N./B.I.N.] = Succeeding five years base rent

C. In the event the Index (or a successor or substitute index) is not available, a reliable governmental or other nonpartisan publication evaluating the information theretofore used in determining the Index and the Index number shall be used in lieu of the Index and the Index number.

D. In the event there is a decrease in the cost of living in any lease year, the Adjusted Base Rent for the immediately ensuing five (5) lease years shall not be adjusted but shall remain the same. In no event shall the Adjusted Base Rent during any five (5) lease year period be less than the Adjusted Base Rent in the immediately preceding five (5) lease years.

5.3 All rental payments shall be due and payable on or before January 1 of each lease year without demand by the City. In the event rental payments are not received on or before January 10 of each lease year, Lessee agrees to pay a late charge of $100.00 for each and every day following January 1 of each lease year, which late charge shall be added to the amount of rent(s) due. This Lease, at the option of the City, shall automatically terminate, and the City may immediately retake possession of the Property, if the specified rental payments are not received by the City on or before January 30 of each lease year.

6. Use and Condition of the Property.

6.1 During the basic term and any extended term of this Lease, Lessee agrees to use the Property solely for the purpose of installing, constructing, operating and maintaining radio broadcast transmission facilities and appurtenances related thereto. Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Property shall be subject to the rules, rulings and regulations of any governmental authority either now in effect or hereinafter enacted, including, but not limited to, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), the State of Colorado and the County of Mesa. Lessee shall not use nor permit the Property to be used for any other purpose or in any other fashion or manner contrary to the laws, ordinances or regulations of any governmental unit or agency exercising jurisdiction over the Property or any use thereon.

6.2 Prior to installation or construction of additional facilities and/or improvements upon the Property, Lessee shall obtain the City's written approval of all plans for additional facilities and/or improvements to be constructed upon the Property by Lessee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. It is the City's desire that the Property and the improvements to be installed thereon by Lessee will be reasonably compatible with the landscape of the City's adjacent property. To this end, Lessee agrees to comply with all reasonable requirements which the City may impose upon Lessee, including, but not limited to, colorings and aesthetics for equipment and facilities (except as required by the FCC or the FAA), transmitters, landscape improvements, building materials and fencing materials. If, for whatever reason, the City does not approve of Lessee's plans, Lessee may terminate this Lease. In such event, Lessee shall restore the Property to a condition which is comparable with or better than that which existed prior to entry upon the Property by the Lessee.

6.3 Lessee shall not commit nor permit waste, damage or injury to the Property.

6.4 Lessee's use of the access road is non-exclusive. The City shall have the joint right to use said access road and the City may further authorize third parties to use said access road.

6.5 Lessee shall maintain and repair all aspects of the Property at Lessees’ sole cost and expense, including, but not limited to, fences, access roads, security devices, the appearance and structural integrity of any improvements and landscaping, in good order, good appearance, condition and repair and in a clean, sanitary, orderly and safe condition. The City shall not be obligated nor required to repair damages to any portion or aspect of the Property, even if such damages are caused by or result from operations occurring on adjacent lands owned by the City. If Lessee refuses or neglects to commence repairs or perform maintenance work required under the terms hereof to be performed or paid for by the Lessee within thirty (30) days after written demand by the City or any other governmental authority, or fails to complete such repairs or perform such maintenance within a reasonable time thereafter, the City may enter upon the Property and make such repairs or perform such maintenance without liability to the Lessee's operations by reason thereof, and if the City makes such repairs or performs such maintenance, Lessee shall pay to the City, on demand, as additional rent, the cost thereof with interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the date of payment by the City for such repairs or maintenance work until paid in full by the Lessee. Any repairs made or maintenance performed by Lessee or the City shall be completed expeditiously.

6.6 Lessee has inspected the Property and accepts the Property in its present condition. Lessee agrees that the condition of the Property is sufficient for the purposes of the Lessee. The City makes no warranties, promises or representations, express or implied, that the Property is sufficient for the purposes of the Lessee. If the leasehold premises are damaged due to fire, flood, or other casualty, or if the Property is damaged or deteriorates to the extent where it is no longer functional for the purposes of the Lessee, the City shall have no obligation to repair the Property nor to otherwise make the Property usable or occupiable; damages shall be at the Lessee's own risk, provided, however, that in the event the Property is damaged or deteriorates to the extent where it is no longer functional for the purposes of the Lessee, the Lessee may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving notice to the City that this Lease is to be terminated. Termination shall be effective thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of termination.

6.7 The City makes no representations or warranties regarding any hazardous, toxic or regulated substances on, under or about the Property, except to the extent that the City states that it has not deposited or caused to be deposited on, under or about the Property any hazardous, toxic or regulated substances.

7. Additional Fees in Charges.

7.1 In addition to paying rent, Lessee shall arrange and pay for, when due:

(a) all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, deposits, use fees, interest and penalties, for utilities furnished to the Property, including, but not limited to, all electricity, natural gas, water, sewer, cable and telephone service and trash and recyclables disposal;

(b) all general real property and personal property taxes and all special assessments of any kind levied against the Property during the term of this Lease.

7.2 Lessee shall hold the City harmless from and indemnify the City against any and all costs, fees and charges associated with the Property. If Lessee shall fail to timely pay any of the foregoing, the City may pay such amount(s) and, in such event, the amount(s) paid by the City plus interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the date of such payment by the City shall be added to the amount of rent(s) due to the City from Lessee.

8. Insurance. Lessee shall purchase and at all times maintain in effect suitable comprehensive general liability and hazard insurance which will protect the City, its officers, employees and agents and assets of the City from liability in the event of loss of life, personal injury or property damage suffered by any person or persons on, about or using the Property, including Lessee and employees, agents, licensees and guests of Lessee. Such insurance policy shall have terms and amounts approved by the Risk Manager of the City. Such insurance shall not be cancelable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the City and shall be written for at least a minimum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), combined single limit. The certificate of insurance must be deposited with the City and must designate “the City of Grand Junction, its officers, employees and agents” as additional insureds. If a policy approved by the Risk Manager of the City is not at all times in full force and effect, this Lease shall automatically terminate.

9. Nonliability of the City for Damage.

9.1 The City shall not be liable for liability or damage claims for injury to persons or property, including property of Lessee, from any cause relating to the occupancy and use of the Property by Lessee, including those arising out of damages or losses occurring on areas adjacent to the Property or easements used for the benefit of the Property during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof nor for any injury or damage to any property of Lessee from any cause. Lessee shall indemnify the City, its officers, employees and agents, and hold the City, its officers, employees and agents, from all liability, loss or other damage claims or obligations resulting from any injuries, including death, or losses of any nature.

9.2 The City shall not be liable to Lessee for any damages or any loss of profits or loss of opportunities claimed by Lessee or for interruption of Lessees’ business or operations resulting from fire, the elements, casualty of any kind or the closure of any public highway providing access to and from the Property.

10. Modifications, Alterations or Additions. No modifications, alterations or additions of improvements upon the Property shall be performed by Lessee without the express written consent of the City first being obtained, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

12.2 Lessee shall not cause or permit to occur by Lessee and/or Lessees’ agents, guests, invitees, contractors, licensees or employees:

(a) any violation of any Environmental Law on, under or about the Property or arising from Lessees’ use and occupancy of the Property, including, but not limited to, air, soil and groundwater conditions; or

13. Environmental Clean-Up.

13.1 The following provisions shall be applicable to Lessee and to Lessees’ agents, guests, invitees, contractors, licensees and employees:

(a) Lessee shall, at Lessees’ sole cost and expense, comply with all Environmental

Laws and laws regulating the use, generation, storage, transportation or disposal of Hazardous Substances;

(b) Lessee shall, at Lessees’ sole cost and expense, make all submissions to provide all information required by and/or to comply with all requirements of all governmental authorities (“the Authorities”) under Environmental Laws and other applicable laws.

(d) Lessee shall promptly provide all information regarding the use, generation, storage, transportation or disposal of Hazardous Substances requested by any Authority. If Lessee fails to fulfill any duty imposed hereunder within a reasonable time, the City may do so on Lessees’ behalf and, in such case, Lessee shall cooperate with the City in the preparation of all documents the City or any Authority deems necessary or appropriate to determine the applicability of Environmental Laws to the Property and Lessees’ use thereof, and for compliance therewith, and Lessee shall execute all documents promptly upon the City’s request. No such action by the City and no attempt made by the City to mitigate damages under any Environmental Law or other applicable law shall constitute a waiver of any of Lessees’ obligations hereunder.

(e) Lessees’ obligations and liabilities hereunder shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease Agreement.

13.2 Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold the City, its officers, employees and agents harmless from all fines, suits, procedures, claims and actions of every kind, and all costs associated therewith (including the costs and fees of attorneys, consultants and experts) arising out of or in any way connected with any deposit, spill, discharge or other release of Hazardous Substances and the violation of any Environmental Law and other applicable law by Lessee and/or Lessees’ agents, guests, invitees, contractors, licensees and employees that occur during the term of this Lease or any extension thereof, or from Lessees’ failure to provide all information, make all submissions, and take all actions required by all Authorities under the Environmental Laws and other applicable laws. Lessee’s obligations and liabilities hereunder shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease Agreement.

14. Default, Sublet, Termination, Assignment.

14.1 Should Lessee: (a) default in the performance of its agreements or obligations herein and any such default continue for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof is given by the City to Lessee; or (b) abandon or vacate the Property; or (c) be declared bankrupt, insolvent, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver is appointed; the City, at the City's option, may cancel and annul this Lease at once and enter and take possession of the Property immediately without any previous notice of intention to reenter, and such reentry shall not operate as a waiver or satisfaction in whole or in part of any claim or demand arising out of or connected with any breach or violation by Lessee of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Lessee. Upon reentry, the City may remove the property and personnel of Lessee and store Lessees’ property in a warehouse or at a place selected by the City, at the expense of Lessee and without liability to the City. Any such reentry shall not work a forfeiture of nor shall it terminate the rent(s) to be paid or the covenants and agreements to be performed by Lessee for the full term of this Lease; and, upon such reentry, the City may thereafter lease or sublease the Property for such rent as the City may reasonably obtain, crediting Lessee with the rent so obtained after deducting the cost reasonably incurred in such reentry, leasing or subleasing, including the costs of necessary repairs, alterations and modifications to the Property. Nothing herein shall prejudice or be to the exclusion of any other rights or remedies which the City may have against Lessee, including, but not limited to, the right of the City to obtain injunctive relief based on the irreparable harm caused to the City's reversionary rights.

14.2 Except as otherwise provided for (automatic and immediate termination), if Lessee is in default in the performance of any term or condition of this Lease Agreement, the City may, at its option, terminate this Lease upon giving ninety (90) days written notice. If Lessee fails within any such ninety (90) day period to remedy each and every default specified in the City's notice, this Lease shall terminate. If Lessee remedies such default, Lessee shall not thereafter have the right of ninety (90) days (to remedy) with respect to a similar subsequent default, but rather, Lessee's rights shall, with respect to a subsequent similar default, terminate upon the giving of notice by the City.

14.3 Lessee shall not assign or sublease the Property, or any right or privilege connected therewith, or allow any other person, except officers, employees and agents of Lessee, to occupy the Property or any part thereof without first obtaining the written consent of the City, which consent must be approved and ratified by the City Council of the City. In the event of an assignment of this Lease or a sublease, Lessee shall not be released from its obligations and duties under this Lease and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Any consent by the City shall not be a consent to a subsequent assignment, sublease or occupation by any other party. Any unauthorized assignment, sublease or permission to occupy by Lessee shall be void and shall, at the option of the City, provide reasonable cause for the City to terminate this Lease. The interest of Lessee in this Lease is not to be assignable by operation of law without the formal approval and ratification by the City Council of the City.

14.4 This Lease is not intended to and shall in no way preclude the City from actively marketing the Property for sale or exchange, whether through the efforts of the City, a real estate broker or any other person, nor shall this Lease prevent the City from selling, exchanging or conveying the Property to any other party; provided, however, that in the event any such sale, exchange or conveyance is made during the term of this Lease, such sale, exchange or conveyance shall be made subject to Lessees’ leasehold interest in the Property. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary transfer of the City's interest in the Property, Lessee will attorn to the transferee of, or successor to, the City's interest in the Property, and recognize such transferee or successor as Lessor under this Lease.

15. Fees or Commissions. The parties to this Lease Agreement warrant that no person or selling agency has been employed or retained to solicit or secure this Lease upon an agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage, brokerage, or contingent fee. The City and Lessee agree to defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from any claim for real estate brokerage commissions or finder's fees asserted by any other party claiming to be entitled to brokerage commissions or finder's fees arising out of this Lease.

16. Notices.

17. Not a Partnership. It is expressly agreed between the parties that this Agreement is one of lease and not of partnership and that the City shall not be or become responsible for any debts contracted or incurred by Lessee. Lessee shall save, indemnify and hold the City, its officers, employees and agents harmless against all liability and loss, and against all claims or actions based upon or arising out of any claim, lien, damage or injury (including death), to persons or property caused by Lessee or sustained in connection with Lessees’ performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the conditions created thereby, or based upon any violation of any statute, ordinance, code or regulation, either now in force or hereinafter enacted, and the defense of any such claims or actions, including the costs and fees of attorneys, consultants and experts. Lessee shall also save, indemnify and hold the City, its officers, employees and agents harmless from and against all liability and loss in connection with, and shall assume full responsibility for the payment of, all federal, state and local taxes, fees or contributions imposed or required under unemployment insurance, social security and income tax laws with respect to employees engaged by Lessee.

18. Enforcement, Partial Invalidity, Governing Law.

18.1 In the event either party files any action to enforce any agreement contained in this Lease, or for breach of any covenant or condition herein contained, the party prevailing shall be entitled to receive, by judgment of the court from the other party, reasonable attorney's fees, plus the costs or fees of any experts, incurred in such action.

18.2 The invalidity of any portion of this Lease Agreement shall not affect the validity of any other provision contained herein. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall be deemed to be in full force and effect as if they had been executed by both parties subsequent to the expungement of the invalid provisions.

18.3 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. Venue for any action to enforce any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be in Mesa County, Colorado.

19. Surrender, Holding Over. Lessee shall, upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, surrender the Property to the City in good order, condition and state of repair, reasonable wear and use excepted. In the event Lessee fails, for whatever reason, to vacate and surrender the Property upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessee agrees that Lessee shall pay to the City the sum of $500.00 per day for each and every day thereafter until Lessee has effectively vacated and surrendered the Property. The parties agree that it would be difficult to establish the actual damages to the City in the event Lessee fails to vacate and surrender the Property upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, and that said $500.00 daily fee is an appropriate liquidated damages amount.

20. Total Agreement; Applicable to Successors. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties and, except for automatic expiration or termination, cannot be changed or modified except by a written instrument subsequently executed by the parties hereto. This Lease and the terms and conditions hereof apply to and are binding upon the successors and authorized assigns of both parties.

The parties hereto have each executed and entered into this Lease Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
