Paxson Communications Corporation (the "Registrant") has entered into Indemnification Agreements, each dated as of February 24, 2005, with each member of the Registrant’s board of directors. Each such agreement requires the Registrant to indemnify the applicable director against all expenses, damages, judgments, fines, liabilities, losses, penalties, excise taxes and amounts paid in settlement incurred by the director in connection with a proceeding (as that term is defined in the agreement), whether brought by or in the name of the Registrant or otherwise, by reason of the director’s status or service as a director, to advance the director’s expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding and to cover the director under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy the Registrant chooses to maintain. The Indemnification Agreement is intended to provide indemnification rights to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable indemnification rights statutes in the State of Delaware, and shall be in addition to any other rights the director may have under the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws and applicable law.
