Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Fisher Communications, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013, or for any other period. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (“2012 Form 10-K”).

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K. Except as described below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires the Company to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The amendments require the Company to present the effects on income statement line items of certain significant amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss. The standard is effective for public entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the amended accounting guidance, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

2. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these financial assets was determined based on three levels of inputs, of which, the first two levels are considered observable and the last unobservable. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or the fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The inputs to determine fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities and debt security investments. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the reported fair value of marketable securities, using Level 1 inputs, was $592,000 and $600,000, respectively. Marketable securities are included in other assets on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2013, the Company no longer held debt security investments included in restricted cash. During March 2013, the Company sold the remainder of its debt security investments to be included in cash equivalents. The reported fair value of debt security investments as of December 31, 2012, using Level 1 inputs, was $3.5 million and is included in restricted cash on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, cash equivalents consisted of $5.0 million, for which the fair value is measured using Level 1 inputs. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value.

At June 30, 2013, the Company reported $1.7 million of variable interest rate long-term debt for which the fair value is measured using Level 2 inputs. There was no long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 2012. The fair value of long-term debt is based on estimates made by investment bankers based on the fair value of the Company’s variable rate long-term debt. For variable rate debt, interest rate changes do not impact financial position, operations or cash flows.

3. Acquisitions

Sinclair Acquisition

In April 2013, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (“Sinclair”), Sinclair Television of Seattle, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and the Company announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) whereby Sinclair will acquire the Company in a merger transaction valued at approximately $373.3 million (the “Merger”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, assuming the conditions to closing are satisfied or waived, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company and the Company’s shareholders will receive $41.00 in cash for each share of the Company’s common stock they own. The Company currently expects the Merger to close during the third quarter of 2013, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, such as: (i) the approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of two-thirds or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock, as required under Washington law, (ii) the grant by the FCC of consent to the transfer of control of the Company and its subsidiaries to Sinclair, (iii) the absence of any law or order that is in effect and that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the Merger and (iv) the receipt of consents under certain of the Company’s contracts. The consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Sinclair and the Company, including if the Merger is not completed on or before April 11, 2014 or if the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s shareholders is not obtained. In addition, among other termination rights, Sinclair may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Company’s Board of Directors takes certain actions that result in a recommendation adverse to the Merger and the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement, subject to certain conditions, to accept a proposal that is superior to the terms and conditions of the Merger. The Merger Agreement also provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to pay Sinclair a termination fee of $11.2 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company has incurred approximately $4.7 million in transaction related costs associated with the Merger. These costs have been expensed as incurred and are included within selling, general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended of June 30, 2013.

In connection with the announcement of the Merger Agreement, on April 17, 2013, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and its Board of Directors in King County Superior Court in the State of Washington, docketed as Halberstam v. Fisher Communications, Inc.., et al., Case No. 13-2-17171-6 SEA. An amended complaint was filed on April 23, 2013, and a second amended complaint was filed on June 3, 2013. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the Company’s Board of Directors breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to take steps to maximize shareholder value or to engage in a fair sale process before approving the proposed acquisition of the Company by Sinclair. The lawsuit also alleges that the Schedule 14A Preliminary Proxy Statement filed by the Company on May 16, 2013 omits and/or misrepresents certain purportedly material information. The plaintiff seeks relief that includes, among other things, an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the proposed Merger, damages for the breaches of fiduciary duty, and the payment of plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously. There can be no assurance, however, with regard to the outcome. See Note 15. Subsequent Events for additional disclosure.

KMTR TV

On June 3, 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Fisher Broadcasting – Oregon TV, L.L.C. (“Fisher Broadcasting”), completed the previously announced acquisition of assets of the television station KMTR (TV), together with certain related satellite stations (collectively the “Station”), which serve the Eugene, Oregon Nielsen Designated Market Area, for a total purchase price of $8.5 million from Newport Television LLC and Newport Television License LLC (together “Newport”). Concurrent with the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 19, 2012, between Fisher Broadcasting and Newport, Fisher Broadcasting assigned to Roberts Media, LLC, an unrelated third party (“Roberts Media”), its rights under the Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire the FCC licenses with respect to the Station together with certain other of the Station’s operating and programming assets. Such assets are held by KMTR Television, LLC (“KMTR TV”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Roberts Media.

Concurrently with the completion of the acquisition of the Station, KMTR TV obtained third-party financing for its acquisition of the Station assets of $1.7 million (the “KMTR Credit Facility”) due in 2017. The Company has agreed to guarantee (the “Guarantee”) the KMTR Credit Facility to finance its portion of the acquisition through 2017. Borrowings under the KMTR Credit Facility will accrue interest at a variable rate. The interest rate is calculated using either an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) or the Eurodollar Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin determined by the Company’s leverage ratio in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The ABR is equal to the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%.

The KMTR Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for comparable financings, including but not limited to, limitations on liens, indebtedness, investments, mergers and other fundamental changes, sales and other dispositions and dividends and other distributions.

8

In connection with the closing, the Company entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the credit agreement dated November 19, 2012, between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Lender and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment provides that (i) a default under the KMTR Credit Facility (including a default by the Company under the Guarantee) will constitute a default under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) that the collateral pledged to secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility will constitute collateral to secure the obligations under the KMTR Credit Facility.

For financial reporting purposes, the Company is consolidating the operating activities, assets and liabilities of KMTR TV as the Company is the primary beneficiary and has the power to direct the activities impacting the economic performance, obligation to absorb losses and right to receive returns that would be significant to KMTR TV. At closing, in addition to the $1.7 million KMTR Credit Facility, the Company paid the Station $5.9 million plus $850,000 cash escrow previously paid in November 2012, less net assumed liabilities of $92,000.

Under the acquisition method of accounting the purchase price has been allocated to the acquired consolidated assets and assumed liabilities based on estimated fair values (in thousands):

Property, plant and equipment	$	3,358
Intangible assets—Network affiliation agreement (useful life of 15 years)		2,180
Intangible assets—FCC licenses (indefinite life, not subject to amortization)		1,500
Intangible assets—Advertiser relationships (useful life of 6 years)		1,000
Intangible assets—Programming (useful life of 5 years)		110
Leasehold interests liability		(100	)
Net assumed liabilities		(92	)
Recognized value of net assets (other than goodwill) acquired	$	7,956
Deferred tax asset for $90 of taxable temporary differences		33
Goodwill (tax deductible)		409
Consideration paid for the acquiree	$	8,398

The final allocation presented above is based upon management’s estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates, and estimated discount rates. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. The Company expects that goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

4. Variable Interest Entities

As of June 30, 2013 the Company had variable interests in three broadcast entities, inclusive of the addition of KMTR TV (as mentioned in Note 3) and two broadcast entities as of December 31, 2012 for which it is the primary beneficiary of these Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). The Company holds the power to direct activities that significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs and can participate in returns that would be considered significant to the VIEs and therefore consolidates the assets and liabilities of these stations.

The $750,000 investment in South Sound Broadcasting LLC (“South Sound”) in connection with the Local Marketing Agreement qualifies as a VIE. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of this VIE and the 7.5% ownership interest in the station is accounted for using the cost method of accounting. The Company’s maximum exposure to losses as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $1.4 million.

The carrying amount of the investments in the VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Investments	$	5,929	$	2,225
Maximum exposure to losses		5,929		2,225

(1) Goodwill and broadcast licenses are considered indefinite-lived assets for which no periodic amortization is recognized. The television and radio broadcast licenses are issued by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and provide the Company with the exclusive right to utilize certain frequency spectrum to air its stations’ programming. While FCC licenses are issued for only a fixed time, renewals of FCC licenses have occurred routinely and at nominal cost. Moreover, the Company has determined that there are currently no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the useful lives of its FCC licenses.

(2) Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis. Total amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $89,000 and $148,000, respectively. Total amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $59,000 and $117,000, respectively

The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets for impairment at least annually, as of October 1^st of each year, or whenever events indicate that impairment may exist. The Company has determined that the impairment test should be conducted at the reporting unit level, which, with respect to the broadcast operations, requires separate assessment of each of the Company’s television and radio station groups. The Company determines fair value based on valuation methodologies that include an analysis of market transactions for comparable businesses, discounted cash flows, and a review of the underlying assets of the reporting unit.

The following table presents the estimated amortization expense for the Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization for the remainder of 2013 and each of the next five years and thereafter (in thousands):

2013	$	296
2014		586
2015		580

2017		580
2018		580
Thereafter		2,387

6. Debt

Extinguishment of senior notes

In January 2012, the Company redeemed the remaining $61.8 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.625% Senior Notes due in 2014 (“Senior Notes”) for a total consideration of $62.7 million in cash plus accrued interest of $1.8 million. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million, including a charge for related unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $594,000. As a result of the redemption of the remaining outstanding Senior Notes, the Company is no longer subject to provisions contained in the Senior Notes indenture, including various debt covenants and other restrictions, and the Company no longer is required to report financial information for its subsidiary guarantors of the Senior Notes.

10

Credit facility

In November 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Lender, for a $30 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility will mature in 2017. In addition to the $30 million revolving credit facility, the Credit Agreement provides for a subfacility for the issuance of standby letters of credit in an amount to be determined by JPMorgan and the Company. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will accrue interest at a variable rate. The interest rate will be calculated using either an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) or the Eurodollar Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin determined by the Company’s leverage ratio in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The ABR is equal to the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for comparable financings, including but not limited to, limitations on liens, indebtedness, investments, mergers and other fundamental changes, sales and other dispositions and dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default and remedies in the event of an occurrence of an event of default, including the acceleration of any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the Credit Agreement includes certain customary conditions that must be met for the Company to borrow under the Credit Facility.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios, including a leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2013, the Company incurred costs of approximately $264,000 directly related to obtaining the Credit Facility. These costs have been deferred on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet in “other assets” and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Credit Facility. As described in Note 3, in connection with the acquisition of the broadcast assets of Newport, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (“the First Amendment”). The First Amendment provides, among other things, that (i) a default under the KMTR Credit Facility (including a default by the Company under the Guarantee) will constitute a default under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) that the collateral pledged to secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility will constitute collateral to secure the obligations under the KMTR Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility.

7. Broadcast Rights and Other Commitments

Broadcast Rights

The Company acquires broadcast rights during the ordinary course of business. The impact of such contracts on the Company’s overall financial results is dependent on a number of factors, including popularity of the program, increased competition from other programming, and strength of the advertising market. It is possible that the cost of commitments for program rights may ultimately exceed direct revenue from the program. Estimates of future revenue can change significantly and, accordingly, are reviewed periodically to determine whether the broadcast right is impaired.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had commitments under various agreements of $30.9 million for future rights to broadcast television programs, rights to sell available advertising time on a third party radio station and commitments under certain network affiliate agreements.

Hines Lease Commitment

In December 2011, in connection with its lease of space at Fisher Plaza, Seattle, Washington, the Company entered into a reimbursement agreement with Hines Global REIT (“Hines”) whereby the Company may be required to reimburse Hines up to $1.5 million if the power and/or chiller consumption by certain existing Fisher Plaza tenants, including the Company, exceeds specified levels and Hines is required to install additional power and/or chiller facilities. This reimbursement agreement expires on December 31, 2023.

8. Retirement Benefits

The Company maintains a noncontributory supplemental retirement program that was established for key management. No new participants have been admitted to this program since 2001 and the benefits of active participants were frozen in 2005. The program participants do not include any of the Company’s current executive officers. The supplemental retirement program requires continued employment or disability through the date of expected retirement. The cost of the program is accrued over the average expected future lifetime of the participants. The program provides for vesting of benefits under certain circumstances. Funding is not required, but the Company has made investments in annuity contracts and maintains life insurance policies on the lives of the individual participants to assist in payment of retirement benefits. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the annuity contracts and life insurance

11

policies; accordingly, the cash value of the annuity contracts and the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies are reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and the appreciation is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In June 2005, the program was amended to freeze accrual of all benefits to active participants provided under the program. The Company continues to recognize periodic pension cost related to the program, but the amount is lower as a result of the curtailment.

The net periodic pension cost for the Company’s supplemental retirement program is as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Interest cost	$	204	$	234	$	409	$	468
Amortization of loss		77		45		154		90
Net periodic pension cost	$	281	$	279	$	563	$	558

The discount rate used to determine net periodic pension cost was 3.55% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The discount rate used to determine net periodic pension cost was 4.48% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

9. Net Income (Loss) per Share

Net income (loss) per share is based upon the net income (loss) divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Common stock options and restricted stock rights/units are converted using the treasury stock method.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share has been computed as follows (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013			2012
Income (loss) from operations, net of income taxes	$	438	$	4,282	$	(331	)	$	2,418
Weighted average shares outstanding		8,858		8,874		8,829			8,860
Weighted effect of dilutive options and rights		97		54		—			76
Weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution		8,955		8,928		8,829			8,936
Net income (loss) per share:
Basic	$	0.05	$	0.48	$	(0.04	)	$	0.27
Diluted	$	0.05	$	0.48	$	(0.04	)	$	0.27

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the effect of two restricted stock rights/units and options to purchase 41,143 shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding because such rights/units and options were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the effect of 157,342 restricted stock rights/units and options to purchase 251,130 shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding because such rights/units and options were anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the effect of zero restricted stock rights/units and options to purchase 263,740 shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding because such rights/units and options were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the effect of zero restricted stock rights/units and options to purchase 257,257 shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding because such rights/units and options were anti-dilutive.

10. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $593,000 and $1.4 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $374,000 and $826,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

12

11. Income Taxes

The Company records an income tax provision or benefit based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate, which is estimated at 39.7% and 40.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $632,000 of unrecognized tax benefits and no penalties or interest was accrued. If the unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, $410,000 would impact the effective tax rate.

A reconciliation of the change in the amount of gross unrecognized income tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Balance at beginning of period	$	632	$	632
Increase of unrecognized tax benefits related to prior years		—		—
Balance at end of period	$	632	$	632

Although the timing and outcome of income tax audits is uncertain, it is possible that unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced as a result of the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations in federal and state jurisdictions within the next 12 months. Currently, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of reductions, if any, during the next 12 months. Any such reduction could be impacted by other changes in unrecognized tax benefits and could result in changes in the Company’s tax obligations.

The State of California and the State of Oregon conducted an examination of the Company’s 2007 and 2008 state income tax returns. In October 2012, the Company received letters from the State of California, including a Closing Letter agreeing with the Company’s non-business income position subject to additional review, and an additional letter closing the 2007 examination. In connection with the State of Oregon audit, in November 2011, the Company received a Proposed Auditor’s Report from the State of Oregon seeking approximately $800,000 in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties in connection with the Company’s treatment of the proceeds from its 2007 and 2008 sales of Safeco Corporation stock and dividends received. Although the Company has engaged in discussions with the State of Oregon regarding this assessment, it continues to oppose the State of Oregon’s position. The final disposition of the proposed audit adjustments could require the Company to make additional payments of taxes, interest and penalties, which could materially affect its effective tax rate.

In May 2013, the Company received notification from the IRS that its 2011 tax return was chosen for field examination. The Company continues to respond to IRS data request inquiries.

The determination of the Company’s provision for income taxes and valuation allowance requires significant judgment, the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. In assessing whether and to what extent deferred income tax assets can be realized, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company assesses the likelihood of the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $411,000 on certain of its deferred income tax assets. The amount of net deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the future if the Company’s projections of future taxable income are reduced or if the Company does not perform at the levels that it is projecting. This could result in an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets.

12. Segment Information

The Company reports financial data for two segments: television and radio. The television segment includes the operations of the Company’s 23 owned and operated television and radio stations (including a 50%-owned station) and internet business. The radio reportable segment includes the operations of the Company’s three Seattle radio stations and one managed radio station.

The Company discloses information about its reportable segments based on measures it uses in assessing the performance of its reportable segments. The Company uses “segment income from operations” to measure the operating performance of its segments which represents income from operations before depreciation and amortization and loss (gain) on sale of real estate, net. Additionally, the performance metric for segment income from operations excludes the allocation of corporate costs and Fisher Plaza rent expense. The non-segment expenses include corporate and administrative expenses that have not been allocated to the operations of the television or radio segments.

13. Stock Repurchase Program

In December 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2013 stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $15.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The program authorized share repurchases from time-to-time, at the Company’s discretion, on the open market at prevailing market prices or in negotiated transactions off the market. The repurchase program was terminated by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2013. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no shares had been repurchased under the program.

14

In December 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2012 stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $25.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The program authorized share repurchases from time-to-time, at the Company’s discretion, on the open market at prevailing market prices or in negotiated transactions off the market. The repurchase program expired at the end of 2012.

No shares were repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The Company repurchased and retired 2,990 shares for an aggregate cost of $86,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012, which reduced capital in excess of par by the excess cost over par value in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2012. There were no unsettled share repurchases at June 30, 2012.

15. Subsequent Events

Litigation

As previously disclosed in Note 3, in connection with the Merger, a purported class action lawsuit was filed on April 17, 2013 against the Company and its Board of Directors in King County Superior Court in the State of Washington (the “Court”), docketed as Halberstam v. Fisher Communications, Inc., et al., Case No. 13-2-17171-6 SEA (the “Litigation”). An amended complaint was filed on April 23, 2013, and a second amended complaint was filed on June 3, 2013.

On July 25, 2013, the parties to the Litigation entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) which sets forth the parties’ agreement in principle for settlement. After the parties enter into a definitive stipulation of settlement, the proposed settlement will be subject to Court approval. If approved by the Court, it is anticipated that the settlement will result in a release of the defendants from all claims that were or could have been brought challenging any aspect of or otherwise relating to the Merger, the Merger Agreement, or the disclosures made in connection therewith, and that the Litigation will be dismissed with prejudice. The Company also anticipates that, in connection with the proposed settlement, counsel for the plaintiff will apply for an award of attorney’s fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, the amount of which will be determined by the Court. The Company has available insurance for such award and it does not expect the size of the award to have a material impact on the Company or its financial results. Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, the Company has agreed to make available additional information to its stockholders. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the Court will approve the settlement, even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. In such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the MOU may be terminated. The settlement will not affect, among other things, the consideration to be paid to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger.

The Company and the other defendants have vigorously denied, and continue to vigorously deny, any wrongdoing or liability with respect to the facts and claims asserted, or which could have been asserted, in the Litigation. The Company and the other defendants deny that they have committed any violations of law or breach of fiduciary duty, that they have acted improperly in any way, or that they have any liability or owe any damages of any kind to the plaintiff or to the purported class, and specifically deny that any further supplemental disclosure is required under any applicable rule, statute, regulation or law or that the Company’s Board of Directors failed to maximize stockholder value by entering into the Merger Agreement with Sinclair. The settlement contemplated by the MOU is not, and should not be construed as, an admission of wrongdoing or liability by any defendant. However, among other reasons, to avoid the risk of delaying the Merger, and to provide additional information to the stockholders of the Company at a time and in a manner that would not cause any delay of the Merger, the defendants agreed to the settlement described above. The parties considered it desirable that the Litigation be settled to avoid the substantial burden, expense, risk, inconvenience and distraction of continued litigation and to fully and finally resolve the Litigation.

NPG Option Exercise

On July 12, 2013, the Company received notification that NPG of Idaho, Inc. (“NPG”), a subsidiary of New Press and Gazette Company, exercised their call option to purchase certain assets and liabilities of television stations KIDK-TV and KXPI-LP for approximately $6.0 million subject to final calculation at closing as detailed in the Option Agreement entered into by the Company and NPG in December 7, 2010. The completion of the acquisition is subject to FCC approval and is expected to close in 2013.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Some of the statements in this quarterly report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all passages containing verbs such as “aims”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “hopes”, “intends”, “plans”, “predicts”, “projects” or “targets” or nouns corresponding to such verbs. Forward-looking statements also include any other passages that are primarily relevant to expected future events or that can only be fully evaluated by events that will occur in the future. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in our forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2013. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may subsequently arise. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, prospects and results of operations. As used herein, unless the context requires otherwise, when we say “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”, we are referring to Fisher Communications, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

This discussion is intended to provide an analysis of significant trends and material changes in our financial condition and operating results during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the corresponding periods in 2012.

Overview

We are an integrated media company. We own or operate 16 full power (including a 50%-owned television station) and seven low power television stations and four radio stations. Our television stations are located in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California, and our radio stations are located in Washington.

Our operations receive revenue from the sale of local, regional and national advertising and, to a much lesser extent, from retransmission consent fees, tower rental and commercial production activities. Our operating results are, therefore sensitive to broad economic trends that affect the broadcasting industry in general, as well as local and regional trends, particularly those affecting the Pacific Northwest economy. The advertising revenue of our stations is generally highest in the second and fourth quarters of each year, due in part to increases in consumer advertising in the spring, and retail advertising in the period leading up to and including the holiday season. In addition, advertising revenue is generally higher during election years due to spending by political candidates and advocacy groups. This political spending typically is heaviest during the fourth quarter.

Our television revenue is significantly affected by network affiliation and the success of programming offered by those networks. We operate 16 television stations which are affiliated with one of the four major networks and seven which are either affiliated with Univision or CW Plus. Our two largest television stations, KOMO TV and KATU TV, accounted for approximately 60% percent of our television broadcasting revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and are affiliated with the ABC Television Network. The current terms of our affiliation agreements with the ABC Television Network expire in August 2014. Our affiliation agreements with the CBS Television Network generally expire in February 2016. The current terms of our FOX affiliation agreements for KBFX-CA in Bakersfield, California and KXPI-LP in Idaho Falls, Idaho, expire in June 2014 and in June 2015, respectively. The current terms of our affiliation agreements with Univision expire in December 2014. The termination or non-renewal of any of our major network affiliation agreements could adversely affect our business and results. Our broadcasting operations are subject to competitive pressures from traditional broadcasting sources, as well as from alternative methods of delivering information and entertainment, and these pressures may cause fluctuations in operating results.

Management focuses on key metrics from operational data within our broadcasting operations. Information on significant trends is provided in the section entitled “Consolidated Results of Operations.”

Significant Developments

The following significant developments impacted our financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

KMTR TV. On June 3, 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Fisher Broadcasting – Oregon TV, L.L.C. (“Fisher Broadcasting”), completed the previously announced acquisition of assets of the television station KMTR(TV), together with certain related satellite stations (collectively, the “Station”), which serve the Eugene, Oregon Nielsen Designated Market Area, for a total purchase price of $8.5 million from Newport Television LLC and Newport Television License LLC (together “Newport”). Concurrent with the

17

execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 19, 2012, by and between Fisher Broadcasting and Newport, Fisher Broadcasting assigned to Roberts Media, LLC, an unrelated third party (“Roberts Media”), its rights under the Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire the FCC licenses with respect to the Station together with certain other of the Station’s operating and programming assets. Such assets are held by KMTR Television, LLC (“KMTR TV”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Roberts Media.

Concurrently with the completion of the acquisition of the Station, KMTR TV obtained third-party financing for its acquisition of the Station assets, in the amount of $1.7 million (the “KMTR Credit Facility”). We have agreed to guarantee (the “Guarantee”) the KMTR Credit Facility to finance its portion of the acquisition through 2017. Borrowings under the KMTR Credit Facility will accrue interest at a variable rate. The interest rate is calculated using either an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) or the Eurodollar Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin determined by the Company’s leverage ratio in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The ABR is equal to the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%.

The KMTR Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for comparable financings, including but not limited to, limitations on liens, indebtedness, investments, mergers and other fundamental changes, sales and other dispositions and dividends and other distributions.

In connection with the KMTR Credit Facility, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility (“the First Amendment”). The First Amendment provides, among other things, that (i) a default under the KMTR Credit Facility (including a default by us under the Guarantee) will constitute a default under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) that the collateral pledged to secure our obligations under the Credit Facility will constitute collateral to secure the obligations under the KMTR Credit Facility.

Sinclair Acquisition. On April 11, 2013, we entered into the Merger Agreement whereby Sinclair will acquire us in a merger transaction valued at approximately $373.3 million. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, assuming the conditions to closing are satisfied or waived, our shareholders will receive $41.00 in cash for each share of the Company’s common stock they own. We currently expect the Merger to close during the third quarter of 2013, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of two-thirds or more of our outstanding common stock, as required under Washington law, (ii) the grant by the FCC of consent to the transfer of control of the Company and its subsidiaries to Sinclair, (iii) the absence of any law or order that is in effect and that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the Merger and (iv) the receipt of consents under certain of our contracts. The consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition.

On April 17, 2013, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and our Board of Directors in King County Superior Court in the State of Washington, docketed as Halberstam v. Fisher Communications, Inc.., et al., Case No. 13-2-17171-6 SEA. An amended complaint was filed on April 23, 2013, and a second amended complaint was filed on June 3, 2013. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that our Board of Directors breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to take steps to maximize shareholder value or to engage in a fair sale process before approving the proposed acquisition of the Company by Sinclair. The lawsuit also alleges that the Schedule 14A Preliminary Proxy Statement filed by the Company on May 16, 2013 omits and/or misrepresents certain purportedly material information. For additional information, including the risks associated with this litigation, see Items 1 and 1A in Part II of this report.

Redemption of Senior Notes. In January 2012, we redeemed the remaining $61.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.625% Senior Notes due in 2014 (“Senior Notes”) for a total consideration of $62.7 million in cash plus accrued interest of $1.8 million. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million, including a charge for related unamortized debt issuance costs, of approximately $594,000. As a result of the redemption of the remaining outstanding Senior Notes, we are no longer subject to provisions contained in the indenture, including various debt covenants and other restrictions.

Sale and Leaseback of Fisher Plaza. In December 2011, we completed the sale of Fisher Plaza to Hines Global REIT (“Hines”) for $160.0 million in cash. In connection with the sale of Fisher Plaza we entered into a lease (the “Lease”) with Hines pursuant to which we leased 121,000 rentable square feet of Fisher Plaza. The Lease has an initial term that expires on December 31, 2023 and we have the right to extend the term for three successive five-year periods. Our corporate headquarters and Seattle television, radio and developing media operations continue to be located at Fisher Plaza. Given our sale of Fisher Plaza in December 2011, our consolidated results in 2012 and in future years do not include any revenue, operating expense or depreciation from Fisher Plaza, and include rent expense, related to the Lease with Hines.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those affecting revenues, goodwill and intangibles impairment, the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, valuation allowances for receivables and broadcast rights, stock-based compensation expense, valuation allowances for deferred income taxes and liabilities and contingencies. The brief discussion below is intended to highlight some of the judgments

18

and uncertainties that can impact the application of these policies and the specific dollar amounts reported on our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.

For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

There have been no material changes in the application of our critical accounting policies and estimates subsequent to that report.

Consolidated Results of Operations

We report financial data for two reportable segments: television and radio. The television segment includes the operations of our 23 owned and/or operated television stations (including a 50%-owned television station) and our internet business. The radio segment includes the operations of our three radio stations and one managed radio station. Our corporate headquarters and Seattle-based television, radio and internet operations continue to be located at Fisher Plaza.

We disclose information about our reportable segments based on the measures we use in assessing the performance of those reportable segments. We use “segment income (loss) from operations” to measure the operating performance of our segments which represents income (loss) from operations before depreciation and amortization and gain (loss) on sale of real estate, net. Additionally, the performance metric for segment income (loss) from operations excludes the allocation of certain corporate expenses and rent expense for our lease at Fisher Plaza as management does not review our reportable segments with those allocations.

Television. Television revenue decreased $71,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period in 2012. Television revenue increased $3.3 million, or 5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increases in retransmission revenue and core advertising, offset partially by decreases in political advertising.

Retransmission revenue increased $354,000 (6%) and $3.3 million (34%), respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to retransmission consent contract renewals for the 2012-2014 cycle completed during the second quarter of 2012.

Automotive-related advertising, one of our largest advertising categories, increased 25% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Results of other advertising categories for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012 include professional services (+10%) and retail (-5%).

Automotive-related advertising increased 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Results of other advertising categories for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012 include professional services (+6%) and retail products (+1%).

Political advertising revenue decreased 74% and 83% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 due to 2013 being an off-cycle election year.

Revenue from our ABC-affiliated stations decreased 2.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2013, increasing 4.8% overall for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the same periods in 2012. The overall increase is primarily due to increases in retransmission revenue and local advertising revenue. Revenue from our CBS-affiliated stations increased 1.3% and 6.9% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 as a result of increases in retransmission revenue and local advertising revenue.

Radio. Radio revenue decreased $136,000, or 2%, and $549,000, or 5%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012. The decrease is primarily a result of a decline in local advertising revenue due to continued market softness.

Direct operating costs

Direct operating costs consist primarily of costs to produce and promote programming for the television and radio segments. Many of these costs are relatively fixed in nature and do not necessarily vary on a proportional basis with revenue.

Television. Direct operating costs for the television segment increased $1.8 million, or 13%, and $2.9 million, or 11%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 resulting primarily from higher costs related to network programming fees.

        Radio. Direct operating costs for the radio segment increased $70,000, or 3%, and $19,000, or 0.4%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012. The increase in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 was primarily due to an increase in the cost of music rights offset by a decrease in compensation costs.

Corporate and other. Other non-segment direct operating costs consist primarily of the centralized network operating center and corporate engineering department. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, non-segment direct operating costs decreased $28,000, or 14%, and $125,000, or 29%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012.

21

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Television. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our television segment increased $207,000, or 2%, for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 as compared with the same period in 2012 primarily due higher commissions and benefits expenses. For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $923,000, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to $436,000 in combined increases in segment compensation and benefits expenses, $315,000 in agency commissions and a $170,000 increase in bad debts expense.

Radio. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our radio segment decreased $25,000, or 2%, and $202,000, or 6%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to a reduction in trade advertising and lower commission costs.

Corporate and other. Corporate and other expenses consist primarily of corporate costs, various centralized department costs and non-recurring costs. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to non-recurring strategic transaction related costs associated with the Merger Agreement with Sinclair.

Total strategic transaction related costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were $3.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, total corporate and other expenses increased $4.1 million, or 107%, compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in strategic transaction related costs and a $219,000 increase in stock compensation expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, corporate and other expenses increased $5.3 million, or 66%, compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to a $4.9 million increase in strategic transaction related costs and a $600,000 increase in stock compensation expense. Such increases were offset by a reduction in accounting and legal costs.

Fisher Plaza rent. In connection with the December 2011 sale of Fisher Plaza we entered into a lease with Hines pursuant to which we leased 121,000 rentable square feet of Fisher Plaza. Fisher Plaza rent expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $1.1 million, $2.3 million and $1.3 million, $2.5 million, respectively. This expense reflects the costs associated with leasing a portion of Fisher Plaza which serves as our corporate headquarters and the location of our Seattle-based television, radio and internet operations.

Amortization of broadcast rights

Television. Amortization of program rights for our television segment increased $4,000, or 0.2%, and decreased $51,000, or 1%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to reduced obligations resulting from renegotiated contracts.

Depreciation and amortization

Television. Depreciation and amortization for our television segment increased $73,000, or 5%, and $103,000, or 3%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment for our television segment.

Radio. Depreciation and amortization for our radio segment increased $12,000, or 40%, and $26,000, or 44%, respectively in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment for our radio segment.

Other. Other depreciation and amortization increased $5,000, or 2%, and decreased $2,000 and 0.4 %, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012.

Loss (gain) on sale of real estate, net

In January 2012, we completed the sale of two real estate parcels not essential to current operations and received $570,000 in net proceeds. No real estate sale transactions occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2013. In June 2012, we completed the sale of a real estate parcel not essential to current operations and received $253,000 in net proceeds. We recognized a loss on sale of real estate, net of $209,000 and a gain on sale of real estate, net of $164,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Loss on extinguishment of senior notes, net

In January 2012, we redeemed the remaining $61.8 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes for a total consideration of $62.7 million in cash plus accrued interest of $1.8 million. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million, including a charge for related unamortized debt issuance costs, of approximately $594,000.

Other income, net

Other income, net, typically consists of interest and other miscellaneous income received. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, other income, net, remained consistent with same periods in 2012.

22

Interest expense

Interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased $20,000 primarily due to interest associated with the $1.7 million debt incurred in connection with the purchase of KMTR TV. For the six month period ended June 30, 2013, interest expense decreased $216,000 primarily due to the redemption of outstanding Senior Notes in January 2012.

Provision for income taxes

Our effective tax rate was 39.7% and 40.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our effective tax rate is calculated on the statutory rate of 35%, adjusted for state income taxes, changes in certain tax account balances and estimated permanent differences, including non-deductible expenses, and changes in discrete or other non-recurring items. We record our income tax provision or benefit based upon our estimated annual effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our sources of liquidity consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments in debt securities and net cash generated from operating activities. Our net cash generated from operating activities is sensitive to many factors, including changes in working capital and the timing and magnitude of capital expenditures. Working capital at any specific point in time is dependent upon many variables, including operating results, receivables and the timing of cash receipts and payments.

We expect cash flows from operations to provide sufficient liquidity to meet our cash requirements for operations, projected working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and commitments for at least the next 12 months. In November 2012, we obtained a $30.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“the Credit Facility”) as Administrative Agent and Lender to fund potential future capital needs.

On June 3, 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Fisher Broadcasting – Oregon TV, L.L.C. (“Fisher Broadcasting”), completed the previously announced acquisition of assets of the television station KMTR(TV), together with certain related satellite stations (collectively, the “Station”), which serve the Eugene, Oregon Nielsen Designated Market Area, for a total purchase price of $8.5 million from Newport Television LLC and Newport Television License LLC (together “Newport”). Concurrent with the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 19, 2012, by and between Fisher Broadcasting and Newport, Fisher Broadcasting assigned to Roberts Media, LLC, an unrelated third party (“Roberts Media”), its rights under the Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire the FCC licenses with respect to the Station together with certain other of the Station’s operating and programming assets. Such assets are held by KMTR Television, LLC (“KMTR TV”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Roberts Media.

Concurrently with the completion of the acquisition of the Station, KMTR TV obtained third-party financing for its acquisition of the Station assets, in the amount of $1.7 million (the “KMTR Credit Facility”). We have agreed to guarantee (the “Guarantee”) the KMTR Credit Facility to finance its portion of the acquisition through 2017. Borrowings under the KMTR Credit Facility will accrue interest at a variable rate. The interest rate is calculated using either an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) or the Eurodollar Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin determined by the Company’s leverage ratio in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The ABR is equal to the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%.

The KMTR Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for comparable financings, including but not limited to, limitations on liens, indebtedness, investments, mergers and other fundamental changes, sales and other dispositions and dividends and other distributions.

In connection with the KMTR Credit Facility, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility (“the First Amendment”). The First Amendment provides, among other things, that (i) a default under the KMTR Credit Facility (including a default by us under the Guarantee) will constitute a default under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) that the collateral pledged to secure our obligations under the Credit Facility will constitute collateral to secure the obligations under the KMTR Credit Facility.

Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $13.1 million as of June 30, 2013 compared to $20.4 million as of December 31, 2012. The net decrease of $7.3 million was comprised primarily of $8.4 million in consideration to acquire KMTR TV, $2.9 million in income tax payments, $1.5 million in 2012 short term incentive plan payments, $2.7 million in dividend payments and $2.6 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment. Such decreases were offset by cash generated from the sale of $3.5 million in debt securities, $1.7 million in borrowings to acquire KMTR TV, allocation of the $850,000 cash held in escrow for the KMTR TV acquisition and cash flows from operations of $4.7 million.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $2.0 million consisted of our net loss of $331,000, adjusted for non-cash charges of $9.3 million, which consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization and amortization of broadcast rights, offset by a $2.1 million decrease in working capital and $4.9 million of payments for broadcast rights.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $15.8 million consisted of our net income of $2.4 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $8.8 million, which consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization and amortization of broadcast rights, offset by a $22.0 million decrease in working capital, which includes income tax payments, net, of $21.7 million, and $5.0 million of payments for broadcast rights.

Net cash used in investing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash used in investing activities of $7.5 million consisted primarily of $8.4 million in consideration paid for KMTR TV and purchases of property, plant and equipment of $2.6 million, offset by proceeds from the sale of our remaining available for sale debt security investments of $3.5 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in investing activities of $56.4 million consisted primarily of purchases of debt security investments of $82.7 million in the form of U.S. Treasury securities and purchases of property, plant and equipment of $5.7 million, an investment in a radio station of $750,000 and a purchase of an option to acquire a radio station of $615,000 pursuant to the new South Sound LMA, partially offset by $32.6 million in proceeds received from the sale or maturity of debt security investments in the form of U.S. Treasury securities.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1.7 million consisted primarily of $2.7 million in cash dividends, net share settlements for employee stock compensation tax withholding obligations of $852,000, offset by $1.7 million in borrowings under the Credit Facility to finance the purchase of KMTR TV and $210,000 in cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $62.4 million primarily due to the redemption of $61.8 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and net share settlement for employee stock compensation tax withholding obligations of $433,000.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk in our financial instruments represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in financial rates. We are exposed to market risk primarily in the area of interest rates. This exposure is directly related to our normal funding activities.

At June 30, 2013, all of our debt was at a variable interest rate and totaled $1.7 million. The fair market value of long-term variable interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of variable interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt at June 30, 2013 was approximately $1.7 million, which was its carrying value. Market risk is estimated as the potential change in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates and, as of June 30, 2013, was determined to be insignificant. Fair market values are determined based on estimates made by investment bankers based on the fair value of our variable interest rate debt.

At June 30, 2013, the Company no longer held debt security investments subject to exposure of loss due to changes in financial rates. Other than the aforementioned, there have been no material changes from the quantitative and qualitative discussion about market risk previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

We made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We intend to continue to refine our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, as we deem appropriate with a view towards continuous improvement.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are parties to various claims, legal actions and complaints in the ordinary course of our businesses. In management’s opinion, all such matters are adequately covered by insurance, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, that unfavorable disposition would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As disclosed in Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, on April 11, 2013 we announced that we had entered into a Merger Agreement with Sinclair. On April 17, 2013, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and its Board of Directors in King County Superior Court in the State of Washington, docketed as Halberstam v. Fisher Communications, Inc.., et al., Case No. 13-2-17171-6 SEA. An amended complaint was filed on April 23, 2013, and a second amended complaint was filed on June 3, 2013. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that our Board of Directors breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to take steps to maximize shareholder value or to engage in a fair sale process before approving the proposed acquisition of the Company by Sinclair. The lawsuit also alleges that the Schedule 14A Preliminary Proxy Statement filed by the Company on May 16, 2013 omits and/or misrepresents certain purportedly material information. The plaintiff seeks relief that includes, among other things, an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the proposed Merger, damages for the breaches of fiduciary duty, and the payment of plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and costs. We believe the lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend against it vigorously. There can be no assurance, however, with regard to the outcome. For risks related to this litigation, see Item 1A in this Part II of this report.

On July 25, 2013, the parties to the Litigation entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) which sets forth the parties’ agreement in principle for settlement. After the parties enter into a definitive stipulation of settlement, the proposed settlement will be subject to Court approval. If approved by the Court, it is anticipated that the settlement will result in a release of the defendants from all claims that were or could have been brought challenging any aspect of or otherwise relating to the Merger, the Merger Agreement, or the disclosures made in connection therewith, and that the Litigation will be dismissed with prejudice. The Company also anticipates that, in connection with the proposed settlement, counsel for the plaintiff will seek an award of attorney’s fees and expenses to be paid by the Company in an amount to be determined by the Court. The Company has available insurance for such award and it does not expect the size of the award to have a material impact on the Company or its financial results. Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, Fisher has agreed to make available additional information to its stockholders. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the Court will approve the settlement, even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. In such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the MOU may be terminated. The settlement will not affect, among other things, the consideration to be paid to our stockholders in connection with the Merger.

The Company and the other defendants have vigorously denied, and continue to vigorously deny, any wrongdoing or liability with respect to the facts and claims asserted, or which could have been asserted, in the Litigation. The Company and the other defendants deny that they have committed any violations of law or breach of fiduciary duty, that they have acted improperly in any way, or that they have any liability or owe any damages of any kind to the plaintiff or to the purported class, and specifically deny that any further supplemental disclosure is required under any applicable rule, statute, regulation or law or that our Board of Directors failed to maximize stockholder value by entering into the Merger Agreement with Sinclair. The settlement contemplated by the MOU is not, and should not be construed as, an admission of wrongdoing or liability by any defendant. However, among other reasons, to avoid the risk of delaying the Merger, and to provide additional information to our stockholders at a time and in a manner that would not cause any delay of the Merger, the defendants agreed to the settlement described above. The parties considered it desirable that the Litigation be settled to avoid the substantial burden, expense, risk, inconvenience and distraction of continued litigation and to fully and finally resolve the Litigation. For risks related to the Litigation, see Item 1A in this Part II of this report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have not been any material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2013, as updated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on May 6, 2013.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.11(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank

28

Annex I to First Amendment

shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day (or if such notice is received after 12:00 p.m. on such Business Day, then on the succeeding Business Day) that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 105% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 105% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

SECTION 2.05 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 10:00 a.m. Pacific time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date

29

Annex I to First Amendment

such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.06 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

30

Annex I to First Amendment

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.07 Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase in Revolving Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, all Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the Administrative Agent a backup standby letter of credit satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees, and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(c) The Borrower may from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(d) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(e) The Borrower shall have the right to increase the Revolving Commitment by obtaining additional Revolving Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of three such requests, (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank have each approved the identity of any such new Lender, (iv) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, and (v) the procedures described in Section 2.07(f) and Section 5.17 have been satisfied.

31

Annex I to First Amendment

(f) Any amendment hereto for an increase to the Revolving Commitment shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lender(s) being added or increasing their Commitment, subject only to the approval of all Lenders if any such increase would cause the Revolving Commitment to exceed $80,000,000. As a condition precedent to such an increase, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent that such representations and warranties (1) are already qualified by materiality, in which case they are true and correct in all respects, and (2) specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default exists prior to, at the time of or after giving effect to such increase.

(g) Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the Commitment Schedule to reflect such increase and shall distribute such revised Commitment Schedule to each of the Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon such revised Commitment Schedule shall replace the old Commitment Schedule and become part of this Agreement. On the Business Day following any such increase, all outstanding ABR Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective revised Applicable Percentages. Eurodollar Loans shall not be reallocated among the Lenders prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period in effect at the time of any such increase.

SECTION 2.08 Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to

32

Annex I to First Amendment

the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form of the Revolving Note or otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.09 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(b) In the event and on such occasion that the total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans and/or LC Exposure in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Pacific time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Pacific time one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11.

SECTION 2.10 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount by which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment exceeds its Revolving Credit Exposure during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Revolving Commitment terminates, then such commitment fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Revolving Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed (subject to Section 9.15) on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

33

Annex I to First Amendment

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar quarter shall be payable on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed (subject to Section 9.15) on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (subject to Section 9.15).

SECTION 2.11 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the

34

Annex I to First Amendment

end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed (subject to Section 9.15) on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.12 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

SECTION 2.13 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank;

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; and the result of any of the

35

Annex I to First Amendment

foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.14 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to

36

Annex I to First Amendment

such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such

Annex I to First Amendment

Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set-off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.15(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

38

Annex I to First Amendment

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the Beneficial Owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each Beneficial Owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Annex I to First Amendment

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.16 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 10:00 a.m., Pacific time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 1301 Second Avenue, Floor 24, Seattle WA, 98101, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral (other than FCC Licenses) received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower), or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from the Borrower (other

40

Annex I to First Amendment

than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Secured Swap Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Secured Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans ratably, fourth, to prepay principal on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements and to pay any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services Obligations and Secured Swap Obligations, ratably, fifth, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, and sixth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans and, in any such event, the Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.14. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations.

(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (other than the KMTR Guarantee), may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents (other than the KMTR Guarantee) and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents (other than the KMTR Guarantee).

(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

41

Annex I to First Amendment

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(d) or (e), 2.05(b), 2.16(e) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.17 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender becomes Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 2.15) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any

42

Annex I to First Amendment

such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10;

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(c) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(j) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and

43

Annex I to First Amendment

letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.10 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.18(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.18(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

SECTION 2.19 Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Secured Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.19 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default

75

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed

76

Annex I to First Amendment

appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (C) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC

78

Annex I to First Amendment

Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.16(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, or (E) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (F) change Section 2.18, without the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), or (G) except as provided in clause (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or the Loan Guarantors, without the thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, and, so long as there is no Default at such time, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon the request of the Borrower, release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the all Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest of a Loan Guarantor, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guaranty provided by such Loan Guarantor, (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $5,000,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be required pursuant to Section 9.02(b)) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Article. No Lender providing Banking Services or party to any Swap Agreement that obtains the benefits of Section 2.16(b), any Loan Guaranty or any Collateral (other than FCC Licenses) by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but

79

Annex I to First Amendment

the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.13 and 2.15, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.17 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or an Agency Site) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, incremental taxes, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) the failure of the Borrower to deliver to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence with respect to a payment made by the Borrower for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.15, or (v) any actual or prospective claim,

80

Annex I to First Amendment

litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five Business Days after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

81

Annex I to First Amendment

provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(E) No such assignment shall be made to a natural person, any Loan Party or Affiliate of a Loan Party, any Shared Services Party or Affiliate of a Shared Services Party, or any Strategic Shared Services Party or Affiliate of a Strategic Shared Services Party.

82

Annex I to First Amendment

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(d) or (e), 2.05(b), 2.16(e) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or

83

Annex I to First Amendment

waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(d) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than the KMTR Guarantee) (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document (other than the KMTR Guarantee)) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

84

Annex I to First Amendment

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or such Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Washington, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks.

(a) The Borrower on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or Washington State court sitting in Seattle, Washington in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Washington State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

85

Annex I to First Amendment

Income Taxes

Income Taxes [Abstract]

Income Taxes

11. Income Taxes

The Company records an income tax provision or benefit based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate, which is estimated at 39.7% and 40.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $632,000 of unrecognized tax benefits and no penalties or interest was accrued. If the unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, $410,000 would impact the effective tax rate.

A reconciliation of the change in the amount of gross unrecognized income tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Balance at beginning of period	$	632	$	632
Increase of unrecognized tax benefits related to prior years		—		—
Balance at end of period	$	632	$	632

Although the timing and outcome of income tax audits is uncertain, it is possible that unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced as a result of the lapse of the applicable statutes of limitations in federal and state jurisdictions within the next 12 months. Currently, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of reductions, if any, during the next 12 months. Any such reduction could be impacted by other changes in unrecognized tax benefits and could result in changes in the Company’s tax obligations.

The State of California and the State of Oregon conducted an examination of the Company’s 2007 and 2008 state income tax returns. In October 2012, the Company received letters from the State of California, including a Closing Letter agreeing with the Company’s non-business income position subject to additional review, and an additional letter closing the 2007 examination. In connection with the State of Oregon audit, in November 2011, the Company received a Proposed Auditor’s Report from the State of Oregon seeking approximately $800,000 in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties in connection with the Company’s treatment of the proceeds from its 2007 and 2008 sales of Safeco Corporation stock and dividends received. Although the Company has engaged in discussions with the State of Oregon regarding this assessment, it continues to oppose the State of Oregon’s position. The final disposition of the proposed audit adjustments could require the Company to make additional payments of taxes, interest and penalties, which could materially affect its effective tax rate.

In May 2013, the Company received notification from the IRS that its 2011 tax return was chosen for field examination. The Company continues to respond to IRS data request inquiries.

The determination of the Company’s provision for income taxes and valuation allowance requires significant judgment, the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. In assessing whether and to what extent deferred income tax assets can be realized, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company assesses the likelihood of the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $411,000 on certain of its deferred income tax assets. The amount of net deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the future if the Company’s projections of future taxable income are reduced or if the Company does not perform at the levels that it is projecting. This could result in an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets.

Variable Interest Entities

4. Variable Interest Entities

As of June 30, 2013 the Company had variable interests in three broadcast entities, inclusive of the addition of KMTR TV (as mentioned in Note 3) and two broadcast entities as of December 31, 2012 for which it is the primary beneficiary of these Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). The Company holds the power to direct activities that significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs and can participate in returns that would be considered significant to the VIEs and therefore consolidates the assets and liabilities of these stations.

The $750,000 investment in South Sound Broadcasting LLC (“South Sound”) in connection with the Local Marketing Agreement qualifies as a VIE. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of this VIE and the 7.5% ownership interest in the station is accounted for using the cost method of accounting. The Company’s maximum exposure to losses as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $1.4 million.

The carrying amount of the investments in the VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is as follows (in thousands):

Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

12. Segment Information

The Company reports financial data for two segments: television and radio. The television segment includes the operations of the Company’s 23 owned and operated television and radio stations (including a 50%-owned station) and internet business. The radio reportable segment includes the operations of the Company’s three Seattle radio stations and one managed radio station.

The Company discloses information about its reportable segments based on measures it uses in assessing the performance of its reportable segments. The Company uses “segment income from operations” to measure the operating performance of its segments which represents income from operations before depreciation and amortization and loss (gain) on sale of real estate, net. Additionally, the performance metric for segment income from operations excludes the allocation of corporate costs and Fisher Plaza rent expense. The non-segment expenses include corporate and administrative expenses that have not been allocated to the operations of the television or radio segments.

Operating results and other financial data for each segment are as follows:

(1) Goodwill and broadcast licenses are considered indefinite-lived assets for which no periodic amortization is recognized. The television and radio broadcast licenses are issued by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and provide the Company with the exclusive right to utilize certain frequency spectrum to air its stations’ programming. While FCC licenses are issued for only a fixed time, renewals of FCC licenses have occurred routinely and at nominal cost. Moreover, the Company has determined that there are currently no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the useful lives of its FCC licenses.

(2) Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis. Total amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $89,000 and $148,000, respectively. Total amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $59,000 and $117,000, respectively

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

2. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these financial assets was determined based on three levels of inputs, of which, the first two levels are considered observable and the last unobservable. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or the fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The inputs to determine fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities and debt security investments. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the reported fair value of marketable securities, using Level 1 inputs, was $592,000 and $600,000, respectively. Marketable securities are included in other assets on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2013, the Company no longer held debt security investments included in restricted cash. During March 2013, the Company sold the remainder of its debt security investments to be included in cash equivalents. The reported fair value of debt security investments as of December 31, 2012, using Level 1 inputs, was $3.5 million and is included in restricted cash on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, cash equivalents consisted of $5.0 million, for which the fair value is measured using Level 1 inputs. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value.

At June 30, 2013, the Company reported $1.7 million of variable interest rate long-term debt for which the fair value is measured using Level 2 inputs. There was no long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 2012. The fair value of long-term debt is based on estimates made by investment bankers based on the fair value of the Company’s variable rate long-term debt. For variable rate debt, interest rate changes do not impact financial position, operations or cash flows.

The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets for impairment at least annually, as of October 1^st of each year, or whenever events indicate that impairment may exist. The Company has determined that the impairment test should be conducted at the reporting unit level, which, with respect to the broadcast operations, requires separate assessment of each of the Company’s television and radio station groups. The Company determines fair value based on valuation methodologies that include an analysis of market transactions for comparable businesses, discounted cash flows, and a review of the underlying assets of the reporting unit.

Acquisitions

3. Acquisitions

Sinclair Acquisition

In April 2013, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (“Sinclair”), Sinclair Television of Seattle, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and the Company announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) whereby Sinclair will acquire the Company in a merger transaction valued at approximately $373.3 million (the “Merger”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, assuming the conditions to closing are satisfied or waived, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company and the Company’s shareholders will receive $41.00 in cash for each share of the Company’s common stock they own. The Company currently expects the Merger to close during the third quarter of 2013, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, such as: (i) the approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of two-thirds or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock, as required under Washington law, (ii) the grant by the FCC of consent to the transfer of control of the Company and its subsidiaries to Sinclair, (iii) the absence of any law or order that is in effect and that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the Merger and (iv) the receipt of consents under certain of the Company’s contracts. The consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Sinclair and the Company, including if the Merger is not completed on or before April 11, 2014 or if the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s shareholders is not obtained. In addition, among other termination rights, Sinclair may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Company’s Board of Directors takes certain actions that result in a recommendation adverse to the Merger and the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement, subject to certain conditions, to accept a proposal that is superior to the terms and conditions of the Merger. The Merger Agreement also provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to pay Sinclair a termination fee of $11.2 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company has incurred approximately $4.7 million in transaction related costs associated with the Merger. These costs have been expensed as incurred and are included within selling, general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended of June 30, 2013.

In connection with the announcement of the Merger Agreement, on April 17, 2013, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and its Board of Directors in King County Superior Court in the State of Washington, docketed as Halberstam v. Fisher Communications, Inc.., et al., Case No. 13-2-17171-6 SEA. An amended complaint was filed on April 23, 2013, and a second amended complaint was filed on June 3, 2013. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the Company’s Board of Directors breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to take steps to maximize shareholder value or to engage in a fair sale process before approving the proposed acquisition of the Company by Sinclair. The lawsuit also alleges that the Schedule 14A Preliminary Proxy Statement filed by the Company on May 16, 2013 omits and/or misrepresents certain purportedly material information. The plaintiff seeks relief that includes, among other things, an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the proposed Merger, damages for the breaches of fiduciary duty, and the payment of plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously. There can be no assurance, however, with regard to the outcome. See Note 15. Subsequent Events for additional disclosure.

KMTR TV

On June 3, 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Fisher Broadcasting – Oregon TV, L.L.C. (“Fisher Broadcasting”), completed the previously announced acquisition of assets of the television station KMTR (TV), together with certain related satellite stations (collectively the “Station”), which serve the Eugene, Oregon Nielsen Designated Market Area, for a total purchase price of $8.5 million from Newport Television LLC and Newport Television License LLC (together “Newport”). Concurrent with the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 19, 2012, between Fisher Broadcasting and Newport, Fisher Broadcasting assigned to Roberts Media, LLC, an unrelated third party (“Roberts Media”), its rights under the Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire the FCC licenses with respect to the Station together with certain other of the Station’s operating and programming assets. Such assets are held by KMTR Television, LLC (“KMTR TV”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Roberts Media.

Concurrently with the completion of the acquisition of the Station, KMTR TV obtained third-party financing for its acquisition of the Station assets of $1.7 million (the “KMTR Credit Facility”) due in 2017. The Company has agreed to guarantee (the “Guarantee”) the KMTR Credit Facility to finance its portion of the acquisition through 2017. Borrowings under the KMTR Credit Facility will accrue interest at a variable rate. The interest rate is calculated using either an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) or the Eurodollar Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin determined by the Company’s leverage ratio in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The ABR is equal to the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%.

The KMTR Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for comparable financings, including but not limited to, limitations on liens, indebtedness, investments, mergers and other fundamental changes, sales and other dispositions and dividends and other distributions.

In connection with the closing, the Company entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the credit agreement dated November 19, 2012, between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Lender and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment provides that (i) a default under the KMTR Credit Facility (including a default by the Company under the Guarantee) will constitute a default under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) that the collateral pledged to secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility will constitute collateral to secure the obligations under the KMTR Credit Facility.

For financial reporting purposes, the Company is consolidating the operating activities, assets and liabilities of KMTR TV as the Company is the primary beneficiary and has the power to direct the activities impacting the economic performance, obligation to absorb losses and right to receive returns that would be significant to KMTR TV. At closing, in addition to the $1.7 million KMTR Credit Facility, the Company paid the Station $5.9 million plus $850,000 cash escrow previously paid in November 2012, less net assumed liabilities of $92,000.

Under the acquisition method of accounting the purchase price has been allocated to the acquired consolidated assets and assumed liabilities based on estimated fair values (in thousands):

The final allocation presented above is based upon management’s estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates, and estimated discount rates. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. The Company expects that goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

Retirement Benefits

8. Retirement Benefits

The Company maintains a noncontributory supplemental retirement program that was established for key management. No new participants have been admitted to this program since 2001 and the benefits of active participants were frozen in 2005. The program participants do not include any of the Company’s current executive officers. The supplemental retirement program requires continued employment or disability through the date of expected retirement. The cost of the program is accrued over the average expected future lifetime of the participants. The program provides for vesting of benefits under certain circumstances. Funding is not required, but the Company has made investments in annuity contracts and maintains life insurance policies on the lives of the individual participants to assist in payment of retirement benefits. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the annuity contracts and life insurance policies; accordingly, the cash value of the annuity contracts and the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies are reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and the appreciation is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In June 2005, the program was amended to freeze accrual of all benefits to active participants provided under the program. The Company continues to recognize periodic pension cost related to the program, but the amount is lower as a result of the curtailment.

The net periodic pension cost for the Company’s supplemental retirement program is as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Interest cost	$	204	$	234	$	409	$	468
Amortization of loss		77		45		154		90
Net periodic pension cost	$	281	$	279	$	563	$	558

The discount rate used to determine net periodic pension cost was 3.55% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The discount rate used to determine net periodic pension cost was 4.48% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Broadcast Rights and Other Commitments

7. Broadcast Rights and Other Commitments

Broadcast Rights

The Company acquires broadcast rights during the ordinary course of business. The impact of such contracts on the Company’s overall financial results is dependent on a number of factors, including popularity of the program, increased competition from other programming, and strength of the advertising market. It is possible that the cost of commitments for program rights may ultimately exceed direct revenue from the program. Estimates of future revenue can change significantly and, accordingly, are reviewed periodically to determine whether the broadcast right is impaired.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had commitments under various agreements of $30.9 million for future rights to broadcast television programs, rights to sell available advertising time on a third party radio station and commitments under certain network affiliate agreements.

Hines Lease Commitment

In December 2011, in connection with its lease of space at Fisher Plaza, Seattle, Washington, the Company entered into a reimbursement agreement with Hines Global REIT (“Hines”) whereby the Company may be required to reimburse Hines up to $1.5 million if the power and/or chiller consumption by certain existing Fisher Plaza tenants, including the Company, exceeds specified levels and Hines is required to install additional power and/or chiller facilities. This reimbursement agreement expires on December 31, 2023.

Extinguishment of senior notes

In January 2012, the Company redeemed the remaining $61.8 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.625% Senior Notes due in 2014 (“Senior Notes”) for a total consideration of $62.7 million in cash plus accrued interest of $1.8 million. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million, including a charge for related unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $594,000. As a result of the redemption of the remaining outstanding Senior Notes, the Company is no longer subject to provisions contained in the Senior Notes indenture, including various debt covenants and other restrictions, and the Company no longer is required to report financial information for its subsidiary guarantors of the Senior Notes.

Credit facility

In November 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Lender, for a $30 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility will mature in 2017. In addition to the $30 million revolving credit facility, the Credit Agreement provides for a subfacility for the issuance of standby letters of credit in an amount to be determined by JPMorgan and the Company. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will accrue interest at a variable rate. The interest rate will be calculated using either an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) or the Eurodollar Rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin determined by the Company’s leverage ratio in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The ABR is equal to the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the “Prime Rate”), (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for comparable financings, including but not limited to, limitations on liens, indebtedness, investments, mergers and other fundamental changes, sales and other dispositions and dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default and remedies in the event of an occurrence of an event of default, including the acceleration of any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the Credit Agreement includes certain customary conditions that must be met for the Company to borrow under the Credit Facility.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios, including a leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2013, the Company incurred costs of approximately $264,000 directly related to obtaining the Credit Facility. These costs have been deferred on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet in “other assets” and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Credit Facility. As described in Note 3, in connection with the acquisition of the broadcast assets of Newport, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (“the First Amendment”). The First Amendment provides, among other things, that (i) a default under the KMTR Credit Facility (including a default by the Company under the Guarantee) will constitute a default under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) that the collateral pledged to secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility will constitute collateral to secure the obligations under the KMTR Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013, or for any other period. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (“2012 Form 10-K”).

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K. Except as described below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires the Company to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The amendments require the Company to present the effects on income statement line items of certain significant amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss. The standard is effective for public entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the amended accounting guidance, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Stock Repurchase Program and Other Comprehensive Loss [Abstract]

Stock Repurchase Program

13. Stock Repurchase Program

In December 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2013 stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $15.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The program authorized share repurchases from time-to-time, at the Company’s discretion, on the open market at prevailing market prices or in negotiated transactions off the market. The repurchase program was terminated by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2013. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no shares had been repurchased under the program.

In December 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2012 stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $25.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The program authorized share repurchases from time-to-time, at the Company’s discretion, on the open market at prevailing market prices or in negotiated transactions off the market. The repurchase program expired at the end of 2012.

No shares were repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The Company repurchased and retired 2,990 shares for an aggregate cost of $86,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012, which reduced capital in excess of par by the excess cost over par value in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2012. There were no unsettled share repurchases at June 30, 2012.

Net income (loss) per share

9. Net Income (Loss) per Share

Net income (loss) per share is based upon the net income (loss) divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Common stock options and restricted stock rights/units are converted using the treasury stock method.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share has been computed as follows (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013			2012
Income (loss) from operations, net of income taxes	$	438	$	4,282	$	(331	)	$	2,418
Weighted average shares outstanding		8,858		8,874		8,829			8,860
Weighted effect of dilutive options and rights		97		54		—			76
Weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution		8,955		8,928		8,829			8,936
Net income (loss) per share:
Basic	$	0.05	$	0.48	$	(0.04	)	$	0.27
Diluted	$	0.05	$	0.48	$	(0.04	)	$	0.27

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the effect of two restricted stock rights/units and options to purchase 41,143 shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding because such rights/units and options were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the effect of 157,342 restricted stock rights/units and options to purchase 251,130 shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding because such rights/units and options were anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the effect of zero restricted stock rights/units and options to purchase 263,740 shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding because such rights/units and options were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the effect of zero restricted stock rights/units and options to purchase 257,257 shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding because such rights/units and options were anti-dilutive.

Litigation

As previously disclosed in Note 3, in connection with the Merger, a purported class action lawsuit was filed on April 17, 2013 against the Company and its Board of Directors in King County Superior Court in the State of Washington (the “Court”), docketed as Halberstam v. Fisher Communications, Inc., et al., Case No. 13-2-17171-6 SEA (the “Litigation”). An amended complaint was filed on April 23, 2013, and a second amended complaint was filed on June 3, 2013.

On July 25, 2013, the parties to the Litigation entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) which sets forth the parties’ agreement in principle for settlement. After the parties enter into a definitive stipulation of settlement, the proposed settlement will be subject to Court approval. If approved by the Court, it is anticipated that the settlement will result in a release of the defendants from all claims that were or could have been brought challenging any aspect of or otherwise relating to the Merger, the Merger Agreement, or the disclosures made in connection therewith, and that the Litigation will be dismissed with prejudice. The Company also anticipates that, in connection with the proposed settlement, counsel for the plaintiff will apply for an award of attorney’s fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, the amount of which will be determined by the Court. The Company has available insurance for such award and it does not expect the size of the award to have a material impact on the Company or its financial results. Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, the Company has agreed to make available additional information to its stockholders. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the Court will approve the settlement, even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. In such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the MOU may be terminated. The settlement will not affect, among other things, the consideration to be paid to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger.

The Company and the other defendants have vigorously denied, and continue to vigorously deny, any wrongdoing or liability with respect to the facts and claims asserted, or which could have been asserted, in the Litigation. The Company and the other defendants deny that they have committed any violations of law or breach of fiduciary duty, that they have acted improperly in any way, or that they have any liability or owe any damages of any kind to the plaintiff or to the purported class, and specifically deny that any further supplemental disclosure is required under any applicable rule, statute, regulation or law or that the Company’s Board of Directors failed to maximize stockholder value by entering into the Merger Agreement with Sinclair. The settlement contemplated by the MOU is not, and should not be construed as, an admission of wrongdoing or liability by any defendant. However, among other reasons, to avoid the risk of delaying the Merger, and to provide additional information to the stockholders of the Company at a time and in a manner that would not cause any delay of the Merger, the defendants agreed to the settlement described above. The parties considered it desirable that the Litigation be settled to avoid the substantial burden, expense, risk, inconvenience and distraction of continued litigation and to fully and finally resolve the Litigation.

NPG Option Exercise

On July 12, 2013, the Company received notification that NPG of Idaho, Inc. (“NPG”), a subsidiary of New Press and Gazette Company, exercised their call option to purchase certain assets and liabilities of television stations KIDK-TV and KXPI-LP for approximately $6.0 million subject to final calculation at closing as detailed in the Option Agreement entered into by the Company and NPG in December 7, 2010. The completion of the acquisition is subject to FCC approval and is expected to close in 2013.
