WARRANT AGREEMENT
WARRANT AGREEMENT dated as of March 20, 2001, among LBI HOLDINGS I,
INC., a California corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the
"Company"), and THE PURCHASERS LISTED ON SCHEDULE A HERETO (collectively, the
"Purchasers").
RECITALS:
A. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in Section 7 hereof.
B. The Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of an aggregate
of warrants (the "Warrants") of the Company, each Warrant representing the right
to purchase, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth,
and subject to adjustment as set forth herein, one (1) share of Common Stock.
C. The Company and the Purchasers have entered into that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the
"Purchase Agreement"), of even date herewith, pursuant to which the Company
agreed to sell, and the Purchasers agreed to purchase, Thirty Million Dollars
($30,000,000) in aggregate principal amount of the Company's Junior Subordinated
Notes (the "Notes") and Warrants for 14.02 shares of Common Stock. There are
currently 200 shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time of the initial
issuance of the Warrants.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements set forth herein, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as
follows:
1. FORM, EXECUTION AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES.
1.1 Form of Warrant Certificates. The warrant certificates
(individually, a "Warrant Certificate" and, collectively, the "Warrant
Certificates") evidencing the Warrants, and the forms of assignment and of
election to purchase shares to be attached to such certificates, shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and may have such
letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation as may be
required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation of any
governmental authority, stock exchange or self-regulatory organization made
pursuant thereto. Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of issuance
thereof by the Company, either upon initial issuance or upon transfer or
exchange, and on its face shall initially entitle the holder thereof to purchase
a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Warrants represented
by such Warrant Certificate at a price per share equal to the Purchase Price,
but the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant to a Warrant
Certificate and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided
herein.
1.2 Execution of Warrant Certificates; Registration Books.
(a) Execution of Warrant Certificates. The Warrant
Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
President, its Executive Vice President or any other officer of the
Company authorized by the Board of Directors. In case the officer of
the Company who shall have signed any Warrant Certificate shall cease
to be such an officer of the Company before issuance and delivery by
the Company of such Warrant Certificate, such Warrant Certificate
nevertheless may be issued and delivered with the same force and effect
as though the individual who signed such Warrant Certificate had not
ceased to be such an officer of the Company, and any Warrant
Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any individual
who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate,
shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant
Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement
any such individual was not such an officer.
(b) Registration Books. The Company will keep or cause to be
kept at its office maintained at the address of the Company set forth
in Section 8.6 hereof, or at such other office of the Company in the
United States of America of which the Company shall have given notice
to each holder of Warrant Certificates, books for registration and
transfer of the Warrant Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall
show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Warrant
Certificates, the registration number and the number of Warrants
evidenced on its face by each of the Warrant Certificates and the date
of each of the Warrant Certificates.
1.3 Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Warrant
Certificates; Lost or Stolen Warrant Certificates.
(a) Transfer, Split Up, etc. Any Warrant Certificate, with or
without other Warrant Certificates, may be sold, transferred,
hypothecated or pledged (collectively, "transferred") split up,
combined or exchanged for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates, entitling the registered holder or transferee thereof to
purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock as the Warrant
Certificate or Warrant Certificates surrendered then entitled such
registered holder to purchase; provided that any transfer of any
Warrant Certificate shall be (i) subject to the limitations set forth
in the Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements and shall be made
only to Permitted Holders and (ii) subject to compliance with all
applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the
transferee (including the delivery of investment representation letters
and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, if such are
requested by the Company). Any registered holder desiring to transfer,
split up, combine or exchange any Warrant Certificate shall make such
request in writing delivered to the Company, and shall surrender the
Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates to be transferred, split
up, combined or exchanged at the office of the Company referred to in
Section 1.2(b) hereof, whereupon the Company shall, subject to the
limitations on transfer set forth herein and in the Purchase Agreement
and the Related Agreements,
-2-
deliver promptly to the Person entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate
or Warrant Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested; provided,
however, that the Company shall have no such obligation in the event
that it reasonably determines that such transfer, split up, combination
or exchange would constitute a violation of the Communications Act of
1934 or the rules and regulations for the Federal Communications
Commission (the "FCC") as then in effect ("FCC Laws"). In the event
that the Company, on advice of its FCC counsel, or the holder, on
advice of FCC counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, reasonably
determines that such violation may be remedied by receiving the consent
of the FCC prior to such transfer, split up, combination or exchange,
the Company and the registered holder, at the Company's expense, shall
promptly take such actions as are reasonably necessary in order to
obtain the FCC's consent to such transaction. Each registered holder of
a Warrant Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, agrees not to
transfer any Warrant Certificate in any manner which would violate
Section 5 of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws
or any other applicable laws (including the FCC Laws) or the Purchase
Agreement or any Related Agreement.
(b) Loss, Theft, etc. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate
(which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor,
notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership (or of
ownership by such Institutional Investor's nominee) and such loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation), and:
(i) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which in any
event shall not require the posting of a bond or other
security therefor); or in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation thereof;
the Company at its own expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant Certificate, dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
Warrant Certificate and of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Warrant Certificate.
1.4 Subsequent Issuance of Warrant Certificates. Subsequent to the
original issuance, no Warrant Certificates shall be issued except:
(a) Warrant Certificates issued upon any transfer,
combination, split up or exchange of Warrants pursuant to
Section 1.3(a) hereof; and
(b) Warrant Certificates issued in replacement of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Warrant Certificates
pursuant to Section 1.3(b) hereof; and
(c) Warrant Certificates issued in respect of
unexercised Warrants pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.
-3-
2. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.
2.1 Exercise of Warrant. Subject to Section 4.5 of the Purchase
Agreement, any time on or before the Expiration Date, the holder of any Warrant
Certificate may exercise the Warrants evidenced thereby, in whole or in part, by
surrender of such Warrant Certificate, with an election to purchase (a form of
which is attached to each Warrant Certificate) attached thereto duly executed,
to the Company at its office referred to in Section 1.2(b) hereof, together with
payment of the Purchase Price for each share of Common Stock with respect to
which the Warrants are then being exercised; provided, however, that no such
exercise shall be valid in the event that the Company reasonably determines that
such exercise would constitute a violation of the FCC Laws. In the event that
the Company, on advice of its FCC counsel or the registered holder, on advice of
FCC counsel reasonable acceptable to the Company, reasonably determines that
such violation may be remedied by receiving the consent of the FCC prior to such
exercise, the Company and registered holder, at the Company's expense, shall
promptly take such actions as are reasonably necessary to obtain the FCC's
consent to such transaction. Such Purchase Price shall be payable in cash, by
check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of the Company.
2.2 Cashless Exercise of Warrants. Subject to Section 4.5 of the
Purchase Agreement and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1 hereof, if
the FMV (as defined below in this Section) of the Common Stock for which a
Warrant may be exercised is greater than the Purchase Price payable in
connection with the exercise thereof (at the date of calculation, as set forth
below), in lieu of exercising such Warrant as permitted in Section 2.1, the
holder of a Warrant Certificate may elect to receive shares of Common Stock
equal to the value (as determined below) of the Warrant (or the portion thereof
being canceled) by surrender of the Warrant Certificate, together with the
election to purchase (a form of which is attached to each Warrant Certificate)
attached thereto duly executed, to the Company at its office referred to in
Section 1.2(b) hereof, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder of
the Warrant Certificate that number of shares of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:
CS = WCS x (FMV - PP)
----------------
FMV
Where
CS equals the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder
of the Warrant Certificate;
WCS equals the number of shares of Common Stock then purchasable under the
Warrant (at the date of such calculation);
FMV equals the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock (at the
date of such calculation) as determined by the Company's Board of Directors in
good faith; and
PP equals the Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation);
-4-
provided, however, that no such exercise shall be valid in the event
that the Company reasonably determines that such exercise would constitute a
violation of the FCC Laws. In the event that the Company, on advice of its FCC
counsel or the registered holder, on advice of FCC counsel reasonable acceptable
to the Company, reasonably determines that such violation may be remedied by
receiving the consent of the FCC prior to such exercise, the Company and the
registered holder, at the Company's expense, shall promptly take such actions as
are reasonably necessary to obtain the FCC's consent to such transaction.
2.3 Issuance of Common Stock. Upon timely receipt of a Warrant
Certificate, with the form of election to purchase duly executed, accompanied by
payment of the Purchase Price for each of the shares to be purchased in the
manner provided in Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 hereof and an amount equal to any
applicable transfer tax (if not payable by the Company as provided in Section
3.3 hereof) and the receipt of any FCC consent required in accordance with
Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 and receipt of evidence of compliance with Section
4.5 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall thereupon promptly
cause certificates representing the number of shares (including fractional
shares) of Common Stock then being purchased to be delivered to or upon the
order of the registered holder of such Warrant Certificate, registered in such
name or names as may be designated by such holder.
2.4 Unexercised Warrants. In case the registered holder of any Warrant
Certificate shall exercise less than all the Warrants evidenced thereby (a) the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such Warrant
Certificate shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock purchased
upon such exercise of Warrants; and (b) a new Warrant Certificate evidencing
Warrants equal in number to the number of Warrants remaining unexercised shall
be issued by the Company to the registered holder of such Warrant Certificate or
to its duly authorized assigns.
2.5 Cancellation and Destruction of Warrant Certificates. All Warrant
Certificates surrendered to the Company for the purpose of exercise, exchange,
substitution or transfer shall be cancelled by it, and no Warrant Certificates
shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the
provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall cancel and retire any other
Warrant Certificates purchased or acquired by the Company otherwise than upon
the exercise thereof.
2.6 Legend. Each Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this Agreement
shall be stamped or otherwise have endorsed or imprinted thereon a legend in
substantially the form set forth in the form of Warrant Certificate attached
hereto as Exhibit A.
3. RESERVATION AND AVAILABILITY OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK; TRANSFER TAXES.
3.1 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company covenants and agrees that
it will at all times cause to be reserved and kept available out of its
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock such number of shares of Common
Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all Warrants then
outstanding hereunder.
-5-
3.2 Common Stock To Be Duly Authorized and Issued, Fully Paid and
Nonassessable. The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such
action as may be necessary to ensure that all shares of Common Stock delivered
upon the exercise of any Warrants, at the time of delivery of the certificates
representing such shares, shall be duly and validly authorized and issued and
fully paid and nonassessable, free of any preemptive rights and free of any
Lien, other than Liens arising from the actions of the applicable holder of a
Warrant.
3.3 Transfer Taxes. The Company covenants and agrees that it will pay
when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges
that may be payable in respect of the initial issuance or delivery of:
(a) each Warrant Certificate;
(b) each Warrant Certificate issued in exchange for any other
Warrant Certificate pursuant to Section 1.3(a) hereof; and
(c) each share of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of any
Warrant.
The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any transfer tax that may be
payable in respect of the transfer or delivery of Warrant Certificates or the
issuance or delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock in a name other
than that of the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing any
Warrant surrendered for exercise (any such tax being payable by the holder of
such Warrant Certificate at the time of surrender).
3.4 Common Stock Record Date. Each Person in whose name any certificate
for shares of Common Stock is issued upon the exercise of Warrants shall for all
purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Common Stock
represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which
the originally executed Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants was duly
surrendered and delivered to the Company with an election to purchase attached
thereto duly executed and payment of the aggregate Purchase Price (and any
applicable transfer taxes, if payable by such Person) was made. Prior to the
exercise of the Warrants evidenced thereby, the holder of a Warrant Certificate
shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company with respect
to shares for which the Warrants shall be exercisable, including, without
limitation, the right to vote, receive dividends or other distributions or to
exercise any preemptive rights, and shall not be entitled to receive any notice
of any proceedings of the Company, except as provided herein, including without
limitation Section 4.1(a) hereof, or in any other applicable agreement between
the Company and such holder.
3.5 CUSIP Number. The Company covenants and agrees that on or before
the earlier of (i) the date of the first offer for sale of Common Stock pursuant
to an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities
Act, or (ii) the date thirty (30) days after the first exercise of a Warrant, it
shall have obtained, and thereafter shall maintain, a CUSIP or private placement
number, as applicable, in respect of the Common Stock from the CUSIP Service
Bureau of Standard & Poor's, a division of ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, Inc.
-6-
4. ADJUSTMENTS; DISTRIBUTIONS; CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE,
RECLASSIFICATION; FRACTIONAL SHARES; SPECIAL AGREEMENTS.
4.1 Adjustment to Purchase Price. The Authorized Number of Shares and
the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 4.
(a)(1) Distribution of Property. In case, at any time during
the term of the Warrants, the Company shall declare a dividend of cash
or cash equivalents upon its Common Stock, or shall distribute to
holders of its Common Stock (i) shares of its capital stock (other than
Common Stock), (ii) Other Distributions (as defined in the Purchase
Agreement) or (iii) other Securities of any other Person(s), evidences
of indebtedness issued by the Company or any other Person(s), other
assets or options or warrants or rights, then, as a condition of such
declaration or distribution, lawful and adequate provision shall be
made, and such funds, assets, Securities or other rights set aside and
segregated, whereby each holder of Warrants shall thereafter have the
right to receive, upon the exercise by such holder of any Warrants or
the repurchase of any Warrants or sale of the Warrants in connection
with a Sale of the Company, to the exclusion of other shareholders or
creditors of the Company, such cash dividend (and interest thereon, as
provided below), shares of stock, other Securities, evidences of
indebtedness, other assets or options or warrants or rights as would
have paid or distributed to such holder of the Warrants being exercised
or repurchased or sold if the Warrants being exercised or repurchased
or sold had been fully exercised immediately prior to the record date
for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to participate in
such declaration or distribution, provided that any dividend of cash or
cash equivalents shall accrue interest at the rate of six percent (6%),
compounded annually in arrears on each anniversary of the date of
payment, until payment of the dividend upon exercise or repurchase or
sale of the Warrants as provided above. If not sooner paid above, the
amounts payable under this Section 4.1(a)(1) shall in all events be
paid on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The
foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1(a)(1) shall not apply to
dividends or distributions made pursuant to Section 7.5(i), (ii) or
(iii) of the Purchase Agreement.
(a)(2) Corporate Overhead Expense Adjustment. Schedule B
attached hereto sets forth Corporate Overhead Expense levels for the
periods 2001 through 2007. Upon the occurrence of the Sale of the
Company, each holder of the Warrants shall be entitled to receive a
payment equal to the aggregate amount of any Corporate Overhead Expense
Adjustment, if any, multiplied by such holder's percentage of the
Fully-Diluted Outstanding Equity of the Company at such time. If not
sooner paid above, the amounts payable under this Section 4.1(a)(2)
shall in all events be paid on the Maturity Date (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment will be
owed to the holders of Warrants under this Section 4.1(a)(2) if there
occurs an event that triggers a calculation of Fair Market Value under
this Agreement.
(b) Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case at
any time during the term of the Warrants the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of
Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of
-7-
shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date fixed for the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such stock
dividend, subdivision or split-up, the Authorized Number of Shares
shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares
and the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such stock
dividend, subdivision or split-up shall be proportionately reduced.
Conversely, in case at any time during the term of this Warrant the
Company shall combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the Authorized Number of Shares immediately
prior to such combination shall be proportionately reduced and the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be
proportionately increased.
(c) Consolidation; Merger; Sale; Reclassification. If at any
time during the term of the Warrants any capital reorganization or
reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a
change in par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of
a stock dividend, exchange or subdivision or split-up or combination of
shares), or consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock or properties
and assets or the properties and assets of the Company's Subsidiaries,
on a consolidated basis, to another Person, shall be effected in such a
way that holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive
stock, other Securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for
Common Stock (collectively, the "Specified Events"), then, unless the
holders of the Warrants shall be required to participate in such
Specified Event pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Voting and Co-Sale
Agreement, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale or disposition, lawful and adequate
provision shall be made whereby the holders of the Warrants shall
thereafter have the right to receive upon the exercise of the Warrants,
during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Purchase
Price, and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants, such shares
of stock, other Securities or assets as may be issued or payable with
respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore so receivable had such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale or disposition not taken place, and in any
such case lawful and adequate provision shall be made with respect to
the rights and interests of the holders of the Warrants to the end that
the provisions of this Agreement and of the Warrants (including without
limitation provisions for adjustment of the Purchase Price and
Authorized Number of Shares) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, other Securities or
assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The
Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless
prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the survivor
or successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from
such consolidation or merger or the Person purchasing such properties
and assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed or
delivered to the holders of the Warrants, the obligation to deliver to
such holders such shares of stock, other Securities or assets as, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled
to receive, and containing the express assumption of all liabilities
and obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder, unless the
holders of the Warrants are required to
-8-
participate in such transaction pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Voting
and Co-Sale Agreement. The provisions of this Section 4.1(c) shall
similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications,
consolidations, mergers, sales or other dispositions. In furtherance of
the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Specified Event constituting a
Sale of the Company, the holder of the Warrants shall be entitled, at
its option, to either (i) exercise the Warrants in order to receive
amounts available to the holders or Common Stock as described above or
(ii) sell the Warrants, either to the Company or its successor, as the
Company so elects, in exchange for a cash purchase price equal to the
fair market value of the assets or other Securities issuable or payable
with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the
Warrant, minus the Purchase Price of such Warrants. In connection with
any Specified Event, if the form of the transaction of any such
Specified Event results in the receipt of consideration by the Company,
the Company shall promptly (and in any event within sixty (60) days)
distribute such consideration after the receipt thereof by the Company
to the holders of the Warrants as set forth above.
(d) Performance-Based Adjustment. The Authorized Number of
Shares shall be subject to decrease or increase at the earliest of (i)
the Maturity Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); or (ii)
prepayment in full of the Notes and repurchase of the Warrants; or
(iii) a Sale of the Company; or (iv) the determination of the Warrant
Purchase Price pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, according to the
following: (a) the Authorized Number of Shares shall be decreased by
multiplying such number by .9367 if the Company achieves Broadcast Cash
Flow for the trailing twelve (12) months ended at the end of its most
recently completed fiscal quarter immediately prior to the date of the
applicable event specified in clauses (i) through (iv) above (the
"Trailing Twelve Months Broadcast Cash Flow") in excess of 125% of
those thresholds set forth in the projections attached as Schedule C
(the "Budgeted Plan") and, in the case of a Sale of the Company, the
Sale Consideration, or in the case of a determination of the Warrant
Purchase Price, the Total Fair Market Value, is greater than 13 times
Trailing Twelve Months Broadcast Cash Flow; or (b) the Authorized
Number of Shares shall be increased by multiplying such number by
1.0633 if the Company achieves Trailing Twelve Months Broadcast Cash
Flow less than 75% of the Budgeted Plan and, in the case of a Sale of
the Company, the Sale Consideration, or in the case of determination of
the Warrant Purchase Price, the Total Fair Market Value, is less than
15 times Trailing Twelve Months Broadcast Cash Flow. For purposes
hereof, the term "Broadcast Cash Flow" means, for any period, an amount
equal to (a) Consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its Subsidiaries
plus (b) Corporate Overhead Expense. The parties agree that the
Budgeted Plan presently contains projections set forth on an annual
basis and that the Company shall, within a reasonable period of time
after the date of this Agreement, provide a breakdown of the Budgeted
Plan on a quarter-annual basis, reasonably acceptable to the Required
Holders, which shall thereupon constitute Schedule C. For purposes of
this Section 4.1(d), the Total Fair Market Value shall mean the Net
Asset Value as determined pursuant to the definition of Fair Market
Value.
(e) Other Adjustments. In case at any time or from time to
time during the term of the Warrants conditions arise by reason of any
action(s) taken or omitted to be
-9-
taken by the Company which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of
Directors, are not adequately covered by the provisions of this Section
4, and which could reasonably be expected to be materially and
adversely affect the exercise rights of the holders of the Warrants,
the Company shall obtain advice from the Company's independent
certified public accountants, or of other independent certified public
accountants selected by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to the
Required Holders, setting forth any adjustment of the Authorized Number
of Shares and/or of the Purchase Price, on a basis consistent with the
standards established in the other provisions of this Section 4.1,
necessary in order to preserve, without diminution the exercise and
other rights of the holders of the Warrants. Upon receipt of such
advice, the Board of Directors of the Company shall forthwith make the
adjustments described therein.
(f) Company Stock. For purposes of this Section 4.1, the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by
or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such
shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock for the
purposes of this Section 4.1.
(g) Notice of Adjustment. Upon each adjustment of the Purchase
Price, and upon each change in the Authorized Number Shares, and in the
event of any change in the rights of the holders of the Warrants by
reason of any other event(s) herein set forth, then and in each such
case the Company promptly shall deliver to the holders of the Warrants,
by first-class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, a statement, signed by the Company's principal financial
officer, showing in reasonable detail the basis of such determination
or the facts requiring such adjustment and/or change, and stating the
adjusted Purchase Price, and the new Authorized Number of Shares, or
specifying the other shares of stock, other Securities or assets and
the amount thereof receivable as a result of such change in rights, and
setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based. Where appropriate, such
statement may be given in advance and may be included as part of a
notice required to be mailed under the provisions of Section 4.1(h).
(h) Notice of Certain Events. If the Company shall propose to
take any action requiring a calculation pursuant to this Section 4.1,
the Company shall give notice to the holders of the Warrants in the
manner set forth in Section 4.1(g), which notice shall specify the
record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the date on
which such action is to take place. Such notice also shall set forth
such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to
indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be
known at the date of such notice) on the Authorized Number of Shares
and the number, kind or class of shares or other Securities or other
property or assets which shall be deliverable or purchasable upon the
occurrence of such action or deliverable upon the exercise of the

record date, such notice shall be given at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the date so fixed, and in the case of all other actions, such
notice shall be given at least fifteen (15) days prior to the taking of
such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect
therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.
The holder of
-10-
any Warrant may within fifteen (15) days of any notice delivered by the
Company pursuant to this Section 4.1(h) object to any of the Company's
calculations contained in such notice by delivery of a notice setting
forth such objection in reasonable detail. If such holder of any
Warrant and the Company shall be unable to resolve such objection
within ten (10) days of delivery of such notice to the Company, such
objection shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm mutually
agreed upon by the Company and such holder of the Warrant. The Company
shall bear the fees and expenses of such firm.
(i) Agreement and Warrants Not Required to be Restated.
Irrespective of any adjustments in the Authorized Number of Shares, the
Purchase Price or the number or kind of cash, Securities or other
property or assets purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, this
Agreement and the Warrants may continue to express the same number of
Warrants, Purchase Price and number and kind of Securities as are
initially stated in this Agreement and the Warrants.
(j) Rounding. All calculations under this Section 4.1 shall be
made to the nearest sixth decimal place.
(k) Single Adjustment. In no event shall the Authorized Number
of Shares or Purchase Price be adjusted pursuant to more than one
paragraph of this Section 4.1 with respect to a single event.
4.2 Fractional Shares. The Company shall issue fractional shares
of Common Stock upon the exercise of any Warrant, as appropriate.
4.3 Right of Action. All rights of action in respect of the
Warrants are vested in the respective registered holders of the Warrant
Certificates, and any registered holder of any Warrant Certificate, without the
consent of the registered holder of any other Warrant Certificate, may, in its
own behalf and for its own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any
suit, action or proceeding against the Company to enforce, or otherwise act in
respect of, its right to exercise the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant
Certificate in the manner provided in such Warrant Certificate and in this
Agreement.
4.4 Special Agreement of Warrant Certificate Holders. Every
holder of a Warrant Certificate by accepting the same consents and agrees with
the Company and with every other holder of a Warrant Certificate that:
(a) the Warrant Certificates are transferable only in
accordance with the Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements
(subject to the conditions contained in Article XI of the Purchase
Agreement) and only on the registry books of the Company if surrendered
at the office of the Company referred to in Section 1.2(b) hereof, duly
endorsed or accompanied by an instrument of transfer (in the form
attached hereto); and
(b) the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name
each Warrant Certificate is registered as the absolute owner thereof
and of the Warrants evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of
ownership or writing on the Warrant
-11-
Certificates made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes
whatsoever, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary;
4.5 Special Agreements of the Company. The Company covenants and
agrees that:
(a) The Company shall not, by amendment to its Articles of
Incorporation, as in effect on the date hereof, or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
liquidation, issuance or sale of Securities or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but
shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the
provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such actions as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the
holders of the Warrant Certificates against impairment.
(b) Before taking any action that would result in an
adjustment to the then current Purchase Price to a price that would be
below the then current par value of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of any Warrant, the Company will take or cause to be taken any and all
necessary corporate or other action that may be necessary in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock upon payment of such Purchase Price as so
adjusted, provided, that if, under applicable law, no such corporate or
other action may be lawfully taken, then the Company may nevertheless
take the action that would result in an adjustment to the then current
Purchase Price, and all other adjustments called for by this Section 4
shall be made, but the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted until such
corporate or other action is lawfully taken.
5. PUT RIGHTS; CALL RIGHTS.
5.1 Put Rights. Subject to and to the extent permitted by the Loan
Documents, the Required Holders have the right, at any time on or after the
Maturity Date of the Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (other than a
Maturity Date occasioned by a Sale of the Company that is either (i) a Specified
Event under Section 4.1(c) or (ii) a transaction in which the Warrant holders
are entitled to participate under Section 3.1 of the Voting and Co-Sale
Agreement or (iii) a transaction in which the Warrant holders are required to
participate under Section 3.3 of the Voting and Co-Sale Agreement), to require
the Company to purchase (the "Put") all of the Warrants at the Warrant Purchase
Price or if, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and the Related
Agreements, the holder has exercised the Warrant, the shares of Common Stock
issued on exercise of the Warrant ("Warrant Shares") at the Fair Market Value
thereof, by delivering a written notice to the Company (the "Put Notice").
Within ten (10) days after receipt of any Put Notice, the Company will give
written notice of such requested Put to all other holders of Warrants and
Warrant Shares, and all such holders shall be required to participate in the
sale of Warrants and Warrant Shares pursuant to the Put.
5.2 Call Right. If the Company proposes an acquisition with a
valuation of at least $5,000,000, in connection with which the senior lenders,
subordinated lenders or any proposed financing source (each a "Financial Party")
reasonably require in good faith, as a condition to the
-12-
financing and/or permitting the acquisition, an amendment to the Maturity Date
of the Notes or an amendment to the dates set forth in the definition of
Maturity Date or the dates set forth in the definition of Expiration Date, and
the Majority Purchasers (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or the Required
Holders, as appropriate, do not agree to such amendment, subject to and to the
extent permitted by the Loan Documents, the Company shall have the right to
purchase the Warrants at the Warrant Purchase Price or the Warrant Shares at the
Fair Market Value thereof in connection with its payment in full of the
aggregate principal amount and interest outstanding under the Notes, by
providing written notice of such election to the holders of the Warrants and
Warrant Shares (a "Call Notice"). The Company shall give the Purchasers written
notice (the "Requirement Notice") of any such requirement of a Financial Party,
which notice shall specify the waiver or amendment requested and the terms of
the proposed Acquisition, including, without limitation, the proposed financing,
and shall include as an attachment thereto an executed copy of the term sheet
(if any) and any other agreements (if any) relating to such proposed financing
or if no such term sheet or other agreement exists, an outline of proposed,
material terms described in good faith. Within twenty (20) days of delivery of
the Requirement Notice, the Majority Purchasers or the Required Holders shall
inform the Company in writing whether or not they shall agree to the
amendment(s) being required. In the event the Majority Purchasers or Required
Holders reject the proposed amendment(s) in their response pursuant to the
preceding sentence (a "Written Rejection") or fail to respond to the Requirement
Notice within such 20-day period, the Company, by delivery of a Call Notice
within sixty (60) days after the earlier of the delivery of a Written Rejection
or the expiration of the 20-day period, may elect to exercise its repurchase
rights set forth in this Section 5.2, provided such right shall lapse if the
repurchase is not consummated in full within six (6) months of the date of the
Company's delivery of the Call Notice.
5.3 Put and Call Closings. The Company shall pay to each holder, in
cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Warrant Purchase
Price or Fair Market Value, as appropriate, as soon as practicable after its
receipt of the Put Notice or its delivery of the Call Notice, but in any event
within 30 days after the later of (i) the final determination of the Warrant
Purchase Price or Fair Market Value, as appropriate, and (ii) in the case of a
Call Notice, the closing date of the acquisition described in Section 5.2 (a
"Put/Call Closing Date"). In the event the Warrant Purchase Price or Fair Market
Value, as appropriate, is not paid in full by the Put/Call Closing Date, such
unpaid amount shall accrue interest at the applicable default rate of interest
under the Notes, as it may adjust from time to time, so long as the Notes remain
outstanding. If the Notes have been repaid in full in accordance with their
terms but the Warrant Purchase Price or Fair Market Value, as appropriate, has
not yet been paid in full, then the default rate of interest in effect under the
Notes immediately prior to their repayment shall be the applicable rate of
interest for purposes hereof, and such rate shall continue to increase on the
same schedule as was in effect while the Notes were outstanding, until the
Warrant Purchase Price or Fair Market Value and all accrued interest thereon has
been paid in full. Interest on the unpaid Warrant Purchase Price or Fair Market
Value, as appropriate, shall be compounded and calculated in the same manner as
provided in Section 2.4 of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Notes.
6. REGISTRATION.
-13-
6.1 Piggyback Registration. The Company agrees that if at any time
after the date hereof the Company shall propose to file a registration statement

S-8 (including its initial public offering), it will give notice in writing to
such effect to the Holders at least thirty (30) days prior to such filing, and,
at the written request of any such Holder, made within ten (10) days after the
receipt of such notice, will include therein at the Company's cost and expense
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to such Holders, but
excluding underwriting discounts, commissions and filing fees attributable to
the shares of Common Stock included therein), such of the shares of Common Stock
as such Holder(s) shall request (the "Shares"); provided, however, that if the
offering being registered by the Company is underwritten and if the
representative of the underwriters certifies in writing that the inclusion
therein of the Shares would materially and adversely affect the sale of the
securities to be sold by the Company thereunder, then the Company shall be
required to include in the offering only that number of securities, including
the Shares, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not
jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be
apportioned pro rata among all selling shareholders according to the total
amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling
shareholder, but in no event shall the total amount of Shares included in the
offering be less than the number of securities included in the offering by any
other single selling shareholder other than a Holder, unless all of the Shares
are included in the offering).
6.2 Registration Procedures. Whenever the Company undertakes to
effect the registration of any of the Shares, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement covering such

sold or (B) one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of
the registration statement; provided, that before filing a registration
statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplements thereto, the
Company will furnish to each Holder of Shares covered by such
registration statement and the underwriters, if any, copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed (excluding exhibits, unless any such
person shall specifically request exhibits), which documents will be
subject to the review of such Holders and underwriters, and the Company
will not file such registration statement or any amendment thereto or
any prospectus or any supplement thereto (including any documents
incorporated by reference therein) with the Commission if (A) the
underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object to such filing or (B) if
information in such registration statement or prospectus concerning a
particular selling Holder has changed and such Holder or the
underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object.
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
post-effective amendments to such registration statement as may be
necessary to keep such registration statement effective during the
period referred to in Section 6.2(a) and to comply with the provisions

the Securities Act.
(c) Furnish to the selling Holder(s) such numbers of copies
of such registration statement, each amendment thereto, the prospectus
included in such registration statement (including each preliminary
prospectus), each supplement thereto and such other documents as they
may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Shares owned by them.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify under such
other securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by any selling Holder and do any and all other acts and
things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such
selling Holder to consummate the disposition of the Shares owned by
such Holder, in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto
to qualify to transact business or to file a general consent to service
of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) Promptly notify each selling Holder of the happening of
any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such
registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact
or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading and, at the request of any such Holder, the Company will
prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Shares, such prospectus
will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(f) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such
Shares not later than the effective date of such registration
statement.
(g) Enter into such customary agreements (including
underwriting agreements in customary form for a primary offering) and
take all such other actions as the underwriters, if any, reasonably
request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such
Shares (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a
combination of shares).
(h) Make available for inspection by any selling Holder or
any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such
registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent
retained by any such selling Holder or underwriter, all financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company, and cause the officers, directors, employees and independent
accountants of the Company to supply all information reasonably
requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or

such person) confirm such notification in
-15-
writing: (A) the filing of the prospectus or any prospectus supplement
and the registration statement and any amendment or post-effective
amendment thereto and, with respect to the registration statement or
any post-effective amendment thereto, the declaration of the
effectiveness of such documents, (B) any requests by the Commission for
amendments or supplements to the registration statement or the
prospectus or for additional information, (C) the issuance or threat of
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of any

notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the

initiation of any proceeding for such purposes.
(j) Make every reasonable effort to prevent the entry of
any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement
and obtain at the earliest possible moment the withdrawal of any such
order, if entered.
(k) Cooperate with the selling Holder(s) and the
underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates representing the Shares to be sold and not bearing any
restrictive legends, and enable such Shares to be in such lots and
registered in such names as the underwriters may request at least two
(2) business days prior to any delivery of the Shares to the
underwriters.
(l) Provide a CUSIP number for all the Shares not later
than the effective date of the registration statement.
(m) Prior to the effectiveness of the registration
statement and any post-effective amendment thereto in connection with,
and at each closing of, an underwritten offering, (A) make such
representations and warranties to the selling Holder(s) and the
underwriters, if any, with respect to the Shares and the registration
statement as are customarily made by issuers in primary underwritten
offerings; (B) use its best efforts to obtain "cold comfort" letters
and updates thereof from the Company's independent certified public

any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the
type customarily covered in "cold comfort" letters by underwriters in
connection with primary underwritten offerings; (C) deliver such
documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested (1) by the
holders of a majority of the Shares being sold, and (2) by the
underwriters, if any, to evidence compliance with clause (A) above and
with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement
or other agreement entered into by the Company; and (D) obtain opinions
of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and which
opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters, if any),
covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in
underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably
requested by the selling Holders and underwriters or their counsel.
Such counsel shall also state that, subject to appropriate
qualifications, no facts have come to the attention of such counsel
which cause them to believe that such registration statement, the
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
as of their respective effective or issue dates, contains any untrue
statement of any material fact or omits to state any material
-16-
fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (except
that no statement need be made with respect to any financial
statements, notes thereto or other financial data or other expertized
material contained therein). If for any reason the Company's counsel is
unable to give such opinion, the Company shall so notify the Holders of
the Shares and shall use its best efforts to remove expeditiously all
impediments to the rendering of such opinion.
(n) Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally
available to its security holders earnings statements satisfying the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than
forty-five (45) days after the end of any twelve-month period (or
ninety (90) days, if such period is a fiscal year) (A) commencing at
the end of any fiscal quarter in which the Shares are sold to
underwriters in a firm or best efforts underwritten offering, or (B) if
not sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning with the first
month of the first fiscal quarter of the Company commencing after the
effective date of the registration statement, which statements shall
cover such twelve-month periods.
6.3 Grant of Other Registration Rights. After the date hereof, the
Company shall not grant to any holder of securities of the Company any
registration rights which have a priority greater than those granted to Holders
pursuant to this Warrant or in contravention of Section 7.6 of the Purchase
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.
6.4 Indemnification. The Company's obligations under Section 6.1
above with respect to each Holder of Shares are expressly conditioned upon such
Holder's furnishing to the Company in writing such information concerning such
Holder and the terms of such Holder's proposed offering as the Company shall
reasonably request for inclusion in the registration statement. If any
registration statement including any of the Shares is filed, then the Company
shall indemnify each Holder thereof (and each underwriter for such Holder and
each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act) (collectively, the "Holder Indemnified Parties")
from any loss, claim, damage or liability arising out of, based upon or in any
way relating to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in such registration statement or any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except for any such
statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by such Holder of
the Shares expressly for use in connection with such registration statement, and
the Company will reimburse the Holder Indemnified Parties for any legal or any
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; and such Holder
shall indemnify the Company (and each of its officers and directors who has
signed such registration statement, each director, each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each underwriter
for the Company and each person, if any, who controls such underwriter within
the meaning of the Securities Act) (collectively the "Company Indemnified
Parties") and each other Holder Indemnified Party against any loss, claim,
damage or liability arising from any such statement or alleged statement or
omission or alleged omission which was made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company
-17-
by such Holder of the Shares expressly for use in connection with such
registration statement; provided, however, that the obligation of any Holder
hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds received by such
Holder upon the sale of Shares sold in the offering covered by such
registration.
6.5 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section
6.4 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any of the Holder
Indemnified Parties or Company indemnified parties (each an "Indemnified
Party"), then each indemnifying party thereunder (an "Indemnifying Party") shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 6.4 an
amount or additional amount, as the case may be, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party or Parties,
on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, demands or
liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Indemnifying Party or Parties, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Party, on the
other, and the parties' relative, intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. The amount payable to an Indemnified Party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first
sentence of this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of Section
6.4. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any
Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

determination of each of clauses (a)(i) through (a)(vi) described in
the first paragraph of this definition. The schedule setting forth the
Company's good faith determination of the Fair Market Value as set
forth in this definition may be referred to herein as "Company's Fair
Market Value Notice."
(2) Following receipt of Company's Fair Market Value
Notice, the Required Holders may request from the Company such
additional information, data or other evidence as the Required Holders
may reasonably determine to be necessary to verify the Company's
determination of the Fair Market Value. The Company agrees to promptly
respond to the Required Holders' requests for such additional
information and shall cooperate in good faith with the Required
Holders to assist the Required Holders in reaching such verification.
(3) Within fifteen (15) days following the date of delivery
of the Company's Fair Market Value Notice (which term may be extended
by mutual agreement of the parties), the Required Holders shall deliver
to the Company a written notice either (i) accepting the amount of the
Fair Market Value set forth in the Company's Fair Market Value Notice
or (ii) challenging the Company's determination of the Fair Market
Value (a "Challenge Notice").
(4) If the Required Holders do not elect to deliver a
timely Challenge Notice, then the Fair Market Value set forth in the
Company's Fair Market Value Notice shall be deemed to have been
accepted. If the Required Holders elect to deliver a Challenge Notice,
such notice shall include, in reasonable detail, the Required Holders'
good faith determination of the Fair Market Value, including reasonable
backup evidence and data. Such Challenge Notice shall specifically and
in reasonable detail address each of the aspects of Company's Fair
Market Value Notice which the Required Holders believe to be incorrect.
(5) The Company and the Required Holders shall, promptly
following the Company's receipt of the Required Holders' Challenge
Notice, meet in good faith to
-21-
review the aspects of the calculation of the Fair Market Value upon
which the parties have a material disagreement.
(6) If, despite such meeting and the good faith efforts of
the parties to agree, the parties are unable to reach agreement
regarding the amount of the Fair Market Value, or if one party fails to
make itself available for such meeting within 10 days of the delivery
of the Challenge Notice, either party may, by written notice to the
other ("Valuation Commencement Notice"), elect to have the value of the
assets to be valued as part of the calculation of the Fair Market Value
determined by the Valuation Mechanism set forth below.
(7) As used herein, the "Valuation Mechanism" shall be the
procedures pursuant to which the parties may elect to have the assets
valued as part of the calculation of Fair Market Value determined by
third party valuation professionals. The following are the procedures
for the Valuation Mechanism:
Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Valuation Commencement
Notice, the Company and the Required Holders shall attempt to agree upon an
appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value, which appraiser shall be a
nationally recognized broker, investment banker or appraisal firm with expertise
in the broadcast radio and television industry (the "Appraiser"). If, within
such thirty (30) day period, the Company and the Required Holders agree upon an
Appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value, then such Appraiser shall be
engaged by the parties to conduct an independent appraisal to make a
determination of Fair Market Value based on the definition of Fair Market Value
set forth herein and shall prepare a written report explicitly identifying its
conclusion as to Fair Market Value and the assumptions, methodology and
comparables used by the Appraiser to reach that conclusion. The Appraiser shall
deliver its written report to the Company and the Required Holders within thirty
(30) days of the date of the Appraiser's engagement, provided however, that if
the Appraiser reasonably requires additional time to complete its appraisal
report and to arrive at a determination of Fair Market Value, the parties shall
grant the Appraiser one reasonable extension of time, not to exceed thirty (30)
days, to deliver its report and make its determination of Fair Market Value. The
determination of the Appraiser shall govern.
If the Company and the Required Holders do not, within such thirty (30)
day period, agree as to a single Appraiser, or if the Appraiser appointed as
provided above fails to timely deliver to the Company and the Required Holders a
written report explicitly identifying its conclusion as to Fair Market Value and
the assumptions, methodology and comparables used by the Appraiser to reach that
conclusion, then each of the Company and the Required Holders shall within ten
(10) days thereafter appoint one Appraiser who meets the standards described in
the above definition with written notice of each party's appointment of an
Appraiser to be delivered to the other party within such ten (10) day period, or
any extension of that time period that is agreed to by the parties (the
"Appointment Date"). Any party failing to provide written notice of its
selection of an Appraiser within the time period specified above shall be deemed
to have waived its right to appoint its own Appraiser to make that determination
and to have agreed to accept as its own the Appraiser appointed by the other
party. Each of the two appraisers shall be a nationally recognized broker,
investment banker or appraisal firm with
-22-
expertise in the broadcast radio and television industry. Each of the two
Appraisers so selected shall conduct an independent appraisal of Fair Market
Value based on the definition of Fair Market Value set forth herein and shall
prepare a written report explicitly identifying its conclusion as to Fair Market
Value and the assumptions, methodology and comparables used by the Appraiser to
reach that conclusion. Each Appraiser shall deliver its written report to the
Company, the Required Holders and the other Appraiser within thirty (30) days
after the Appointment Date, provided however, that if either Appraiser
reasonably requires additional time to complete its appraisal report and to
arrive at a determination of Fair Market Value, the parties shall grant the
Appraisers one extension of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, to deliver
their reports and make their determinations of Fair Market Value. If the two
Appraisers so selected agree upon a determination of Fair Market Value, their
joint determination shall govern.
If the two Appraisers cannot reach agreement within the time period
allowed for their respective determinations of Fair Market Value, the two
Appraisers selected shall, within a ten (10) day period following the time
period allowed for their respective determinations of Fair Market Value, select
a third Appraiser who meets the standards described above (the "Third
Appraiser"). The Third Appraiser shall conduct an independent appraisal of Fair
Market Value based on the definition of Fair Market Value set forth herein and
shall prepare a written report explicitly identifying its conclusion as to Fair
Market Value and the assumptions, methodology and comparables used by the Third
Appraiser to reach that conclusion. The Third Appraiser shall deliver its
written report to the Company and the Required Holders within thirty (30) days
of the date of its selection, provided however, that if the Third Appraiser
reasonably requires additional time to complete its appraisal report and to
arrive at a determination of Fair Market Value, the parties shall grant the
Third Appraiser one reasonable extension of time, not to exceed thirty (30)
days, to deliver its report and make its determination of Fair Market Value. The
Fair Market Value shall be the average of (i) the appraisal of the Third
Appraiser and (ii) the closest in value of the appraisal of the first two
Appraisers to the appraisal of the Third Appraiser. All decisions of the
Appraiser(s) shall be rendered in writing and shall be signed by the
Appraiser(s). Except as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph, the Fair
Market Value determined as herein provided shall be conclusive, final and
binding on the parties and shall be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction
over a proceeding brought to seek such enforcement. The cost of the Fair Market
Value determination shall not be taken into account in determining Fair Market
Value and shall be borne by the Company.
If either party contends and produces credible, substantive evidence
that any Appraiser has acted with gross negligence or serious and willful
misconduct in the conduct of his or her appraisal, or that such Appraiser has
grossly or willfully failed to follow the appraisal methodology described in the
definition of Fair Market Value, but not otherwise, such party may by written
notice to the other party (with a copy to the American Arbitration Association)
demand that such alleged negligence, misconduct or failure be adjudicated by an
arbitration conducted in accordance with the then existing rules for commercial
arbitration of the American Arbitration Association before a single arbitrator.
Within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice, the Company and the
Required Holders shall attempt to agree upon an arbitrator, who shall be an
attorney or retired judge, preferably with experience handling
-23-
disputes involving the radio or television industries (the "Arbitrator"). If the
parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within ten (10) days, the parties
or either party may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint the
Arbitrator. Each party shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to
cause the arbitration to be completed within sixty (60) days after the
appointment of the Arbitrator. Either party may apply to the Arbitrator for
interim or injunctive relief, and may seek from any court having jurisdiction
any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights of
that party pending conclusion of the arbitration. The parties shall be allowed
discovery in the arbitration, but with depositions to be limited to a maximum of
two per party to be held within thirty (30) days after the making of a request
for depositions. If the Arbitrator determines that any Appraiser has acted with
gross negligence or serious and willful misconduct or has grossly or willfully
failed to follow the appraisal methodology described in the definition of Fair
Market Value, the Arbitrator may order appropriate relief including but not
limited to the appointment of a new Appraiser or the selection of a new
Appraiser by the parties, in either case within a ten (10) day period, to
determine Fair Market Value applying the correct methodology within a thirty
(30) day period following such selection or appointment.

harm would occur in the event that any of the agreements and provisions of this

suffered by the parties hereto in the event that this Agreement is not performed
in accordance with its terms or conditions or is otherwise breached. It is
accordingly hereby agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions to restrain, enjoin and prevent breaches of this

provisions of such Articles in any court of the United States or any state
having jurisdiction, such remedy being in addition to and not in lieu of, any
other rights and remedies to which the other parties are entitled to at law or
