WHEREAS, LIN Television, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee entered into a second supplemental indenture to the Original Indenture, dated as of November 4, 2015 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), pursuant to which an additional entity guaranteed the Indenture and the Notes;

WHEREAS, LIN Television, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee entered into a third supplemental indenture to the Original Indenture, dated as of January 17, 2017 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and together with the First Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture and the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), pursuant to which additional entities guaranteed the Indenture and the Notes;

on a Consolidated basis (the “Surviving Entity”) shall be a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and such Person assumes, by a supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect;

WHEREAS, Section 801(a)(iv) provides that each Guarantor, if any, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes;

WHEREAS, Section 901 of the Indenture provides that the Issuer and the Guarantors, without the consent of any Holders, may enter into a supplemental indenture, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, for the purposes of evidencing the succession of another Person to the Issuer and the assumption by any such successor of the Issuer’s covenants;

WHEREAS, NBI and the Guarantors have been duly authorized to enter into the Supplemental Indenture; and

WHEREAS, all acts, conditions, proceedings and requirements necessary to make this Fourth Supplemental Indenture a valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms for the purposes expressed herein, in accordance with its terms, have been duly done and performed.

1.Capitalized Terms.  Unless otherwise defined in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2.Succession to Indenture. Upon consummation of the merger of the Issuer with and into NBI, NBI agrees to succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under the Indenture with the same effect as if NBI had been named as the Issuer as the case may be therein. NBI hereby assumes the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and other amounts payable, if any, on all the Notes and the performance of every covenant of the Indenture on the part of the Issuer to be performed or observed.

3.Guarantors. Each Guarantor confirms that its Guarantee shall apply to NBI’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes.

5.Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

6.Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Each Holder, by accepting the Notes, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
