Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, after the effectiveness of the Restated Charter, the Company shall be merged with and into Merger Sub at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), which shall be the time on the Closing Date at which the certificate of merger in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company (the “Certificate of Merger”) is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such other time and/or date as may be agreed by Parent and the Company and set forth in the Certificate of Merger. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of the Company shall cease, and Merger Sub shall be the surviving entity (sometimes referred to, in such capacity, as the “Surviving Entity”) and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of the Company in accordance with the DGCL.

(c) At and after the Effective Time, the operating agreement of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the operating agreement of the Surviving Entity until thereafter duly amended in accordance with applicable Law; provided, however, that the operating agreement of Merger Sub shall be deemed amended to cause the name of the Surviving Entity to be the name of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Such holders of Dissenting Shares shall instead be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, the Merger Consideration, without interest. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to Company stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal by Company stockholders under the DGCL; provided that neither Parent nor the Company shall, without the consent of the other, be permitted to take any action in connection therewith that would require the Company to incur material costs or to pay any amount prior to the Closing or to take or refrain from taking any action that would reasonably be expected to be adverse to the Company if the Closing does not occur. The Company shall not, prior to the Effective Time, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily (x) make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or any offer to settle such demands or (y) settle such demands.

Section 2.12 Exchange of Shares.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging Certificates for the Merger Consideration. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Exchange Agent to send to each holder of record of shares of Company Stock as of the Effective Time, whose shares of Company Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.8, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent), which letter of transmittal shall provide instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates to the Exchange Agent in exchange for the Merger Consideration (including representations and warranties regarding title and ownership). Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent the number of shares of Class B Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested) payable upon due surrender of the Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Following the Effective Time, Parent agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.12(f). All cash and book-entry shares representing Class B Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.8 and Section 2.16 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that any such investments shall be in (i) securities issued or directly and fully guaranteed or insured by the United States government or any agency or instrumentality thereof and having maturities of not more than one month from the date of investment or (ii) money market mutual or similar funds having assets in excess of $1,000,000,000. Earnings on the Exchange Fund shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and shall be paid to Parent. No investment of the Exchange Fund shall relieve Parent or the Exchange Agent from making the payments required by this Article II, and following any losses from any such investment, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Stock at the Effective Time in the amount of such losses, which additional funds will be deemed to be part of the Exchange Fund.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, pursuant to Section 2.8 and this Article II, (i) one or more shares of Class B Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested) representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Class B Stock that such holder has the right to receive and (ii) a check in the amount, if any, that such holder has the right to receive as dividends and other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.12(f) (less any required Tax

withholding). The Merger Consideration shall be paid as promptly as practicable after receipt by the Exchange Agent of the Certificate and letter of transmittal in accordance with the foregoing. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration or on any unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.12 to the contrary, shares of Company Stock that are in non-certificated book-entry form immediately prior to the Effective Time will be exchanged automatically and treated as if Certificates were surrendered for all purposes hereunder, unless mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of or paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition thereof that the surrendered Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration shall pay to the Exchange Agent any required transfer or other similar Taxes or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Stock, except to receive the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article II, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article II.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Stock one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged his, her or its shares of Company Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.12 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of the Merger Consideration in respect of such holder’s shares of Company Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Entity, or any other Subsidiary of Parent shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property Laws.

(f) No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Class B Stock issued in the Merger shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates until such Certificates are surrendered as provided in this Section 2.12. Following such surrender, subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, there shall be paid, without interest, to the record holder of the shares of Class B Stock issued in exchange therefor (i) at the time of such surrender, all dividends and other distributions payable in respect of such shares of Class B Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of such surrender and not previously paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such shares of Class B Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to such surrender. For purposes of dividends or other distributions in respect of shares of Class B Stock, all shares of Class B Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be entitled to dividends pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time.

Section 2.13 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by such Certificate as contemplated by this Article II.

Section 2.14 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article II such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Company Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.15 Further Assurances. After the Effective Time, the officers and the Board of Directors of the Surviving Entity will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Entity any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Entity as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 2.16 No Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Class B Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, and each holder of shares of Company Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Class B Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Class B Stock which such holder would otherwise receive) shall, upon compliance with Section 2.12 hereof, receive from Parent, in lieu of such fractional share, a whole share of Class B Stock.

(d) by the Company if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred which if uncured would cause any condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b) not to be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt by Parent of written notice of such breach from the Company; provided that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(d) if the Company is then in material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein and such breach would give rise to the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) to be satisfied;

(e) by Parent if a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred which if uncured would cause any condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) not to be satisfied, and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach from Parent; provided that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(e) if Parent is then in material breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein and such breach would give rise to the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b) to be satisfied;

(f) by the Company, if Gores Radio Holdings, LLC, as the holder of a majority of the outstanding Parent Stock, has not delivered the Gores Written Consent within one (1) day after the date hereof;

(j) by the Company, if (A) a Parent Adverse Action shall have occurred, (B) a tender or exchange offer relating to any Parent Stock shall have been commenced and Parent shall not have sent to its security holders, within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such tender or exchange offer, a statement disclosing that Parent recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer or (C) the Board of Directors of Parent or any committee thereof approves or recommends a Takeover Proposal to the holders of Parent Stock or approves or recommends that holders of Parent Stock tender their Parent Stock in any tender offer or exchange offer.

Section 7.2 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if the Merger is not consummated, the fees and expenses incurred by each party in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the documents and instruments contemplated hereby and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and disbursements of accountants, appraisers and other advisors retained by any party shall be the sole responsibility of such incurring and retaining party; provided that (a) the fees and expenses incurred by the parties in respect of such parties’ legal counsel after the date hereof shall be split equally between Parent and the Company and (b) the fees and expenses incurred by the parties in respect of such parties’ legal counsel at any time (including prior to the date hereof) with respect to the obtaining of the Financing shall be split equally between Parent and the Company. If the Merger is consummated, the Surviving Entity shall pay and/or reimburse Parent and the Company for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Parent or the Company (including prior to the date hereof), as applicable, in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Surviving Entity shall be responsible for all transfer, sales, use, documentary, stamp, recording and similar taxes, if any, incurred in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.3 Procedures and Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, this Agreement (other than this Section 7.3) shall forthwith become void and of no further force and effect, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, the Company, any Subsidiary of Parent or the Company or any of their respective officers, directors, direct or indirect stockholders or partners or Affiliates (except for the obligations of the parties contained in Section 5.5(b), the last sentence of Section 5.12(a) and in Section 7.2 and Section 7.4); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.3 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability arising prior to termination for any willful breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each party’s right of termination under Section 7.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies, and the terminating party’s right to pursue all legal remedies will survive any such termination unimpaired.

Section 7.4 Termination Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(i) or Section 7.1(j) then Parent shall pay the Company $5,625,000 (the “Termination Fee”) not later than the day of such termination. The Termination Fee shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing to Parent by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall (i) Parent be obligated to pay, or cause to paid, the Termination Fee on more than one occasion and (ii) Parent’s maximum aggregate liability under this Agreement exceed the Termination Fee.

(b) Parent acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.4 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and that the amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.4(a) are reasonable forecasts of the actual damages which may be incurred and constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty, and that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Parent fails to promptly pay the Termination Fee, and, in order to obtain such payment the Company commences a suit which results in a judgment against Parent for the Termination Fee, Parent shall pay to the Company its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ reasonable fees) in connection with such suit.

Section 8.5 Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except that Parent may assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder collaterally for the benefit of the Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except (i) as set forth in Section 5.11 and (ii) that the Financing Sources shall be express third party beneficiaries of Section 8.6 and Section 8.7, nothing contained in this Agreement (including Section 5.8), is intended to confer upon any Person (including any employees) other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder.

Section 8.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement and all other agreements executed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (excluding the Commitment Letters) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the choice of law principles thereof. The Company, Merger Sub and Parent hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of Delaware and, in the absence of such jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and, in the absence of such federal jurisdiction, the parties consent to be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Delaware state court sitting in New Castle County and hereby waive the right to assert the lack of personal or subject matter jurisdiction or improper venue in connection with any such suit, action or other proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any action, suit, claim or proceeding, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any of the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Commitment

Letters or the performance thereof, in each case, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof). Each of the parties hereto also agrees that any final and non-appealable judgment against a party hereto in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding shall be conclusive and binding on such party and that such award or judgment may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside of the United States. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTIES MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT OR ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) INCLUDING ANY LITIGATION AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE COMMITMENT LETTERS OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF OR THEREOF. EACH PARTY HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO OTHER PARTY HERETO NOR ANY OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. FURTHER, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE OTHER PARTIES RELIED ON THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 8.7 Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledges that it shall have no claims (contractual or otherwise) against any Financing Source relating to the Merger or the Financing.

Section 8.8 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the parties’ rights to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognizes and affirms that, in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party or parties may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree the such non-breaching party or parties shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its or their favor at law or in equity, to enforce its or their respective rights and the other parties’ obligations hereunder by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security).

Section 8.9 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto individually or in any combination, in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

Section 8.10 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement or of any of the documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto, or any portion of any provision hereof or thereof, shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable pursuant to a final determination of any court of competent jurisdiction or as a result of future legislative action, then such provision or portion thereof shall be construed to give effect to the parties’ intent regarding such provision or portion thereof to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, and such determination or action shall be construed so as not to affect the validity, enforceability or effect of any other portion hereof or thereof.

Section 8.11 Headings; Interpretation.

(a) The headings of the various Articles and Sections of this Agreement have been inserted for the purpose of convenience of reference only, and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “included,” “includes” or “including” (or any other tense or variation of the word “include”) are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” As used in this Agreement, the auxiliary verbs “will” and “shall” are mandatory, and the auxiliary verb “may” is permissive (and, by extension, is probative when used negatively, as a denial of permission). All accounting terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings determined by GAAP. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as to the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes.

Section 8.12 No Strict Construction. The parties to this Agreement have been or have had the opportunity to be represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and waive the application of any Laws or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in any agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or other document.

Section 8.13 Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Section 8.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and the documents and instruments referred to herein, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof, other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein or therein.

Section 8.15 Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall jointly agree to any press releases or other announcement regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, this Agreement and the substance of the transactions described herein shall be kept confidential, and, except as required by law and then after consultation among the parties, disclosed only on “a need to know” basis to those persons directly involved in facilitating the transactions described herein and the Closing; provided that the transactions may be disclosed publicly as a result of HSR Act review and approval and by Parent, the Company and their respective Affiliates and Principal Stockholders to their respective investors, potential financing sources and their representatives and regulatory authorities. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any document related hereto to the contrary, the parties (and each employee, representative or other agent of the parties) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and any facts that may be relevant to the tax structure of the transactions beginning on the date hereof.

Section 8.16 Dispute Costs. In the event of any dispute, controversy, action, proceeding or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach hereof, which is ultimately resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction, the non-prevailing party will reimburse the substantially prevailing party for its reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) actually incurred in connection with such dispute, controversy, action, proceeding or claim.
