RISKS OF ACQUISITION STRATEGY. Jacor intends to pursue growth through the opportunistic acquisition of broadcasting companies, radio station groups, individual radio stations and entities that provide services to radio station groups or individual radio stations. In this regard, Jacor routinely reviews such acquisition opportunities. Jacor believes that currently there are available a number of acquisition opportunities that would be complementary to its business. Jacor cannot predict whether it will be successful in pursuing such acquisition opportunities or what the consequences of any such acquisition would be. The receipt of certain federal and state governmental or regulatory approvals is required in order to consummate the acquisitions, including approvals or waivers from the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"), and, if certain criteria are met, the expiration of or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), as enforced by the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the "Antitrust Division"). With regard to each proposed acquisition, Jacor will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such approvals or waivers, but there can be no assurance that (i) the FCC will approve the transfer of the broadcast licenses in connection with each proposed transaction; (ii) the FCC or a court would affirm the FCC consent to the proposed transaction if such review is undertaken; (iii) the HSR Act waiting periods with respect to the various proposed transactions will expire without objections being raised by either the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") or the Antitrust Division that would not be eliminated without substantial changes to the terms of the applicable proposed transactions; or (iv) Jacor will be successful in consummating various proposed transactions in a timely manner or on the terms originally agreed upon by the parties to the transactions. Jacor's acquisition strategy involves numerous risks, including difficulties in the integration of operations and systems, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns and the potential loss of key employees of acquired stations. There can be no assurance that Jacor's management will be able to manage effectively the resulting business or that such acquisitions will benefit Jacor. Future acquisitions also may involve the expenditure of significant funds. Depending upon the nature, size and timing of future acquisitions, Jacor may be required to raise additional financing. There is no assurance that such additional financing will be available to Jacor on acceptable terms. INCREASED ANTITRUST SCRUTINY. Subsequent to the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Telecom Act") on February 8, 1996, the radio broadcast industry has been subject to an increased amount of scrutiny by the Antitrust Division. Such scrutiny caused Jacor to experience delays and increased costs in closing several transactions and also compelled changes in the proposed terms of several acquisitions. Jacor could experience similar delays, increased costs, and compelled changes in connection with future transactions. Although Jacor does not believe that antitrust considerations will adversely affect Jacor's ability to successfully implement its business strategy, the effects of the Antitrust Division's heightened level of scrutiny on the radio broadcast industry and on Jacor are uncertain. There can be no assurance that these concerns will not negatively impact Jacor. FCC REGULATION OF BROADCASTING INDUSTRY. The broadcasting industry is subject to extensive regulation by the FCC which, among other things, requires approval for the issuance, renewal, transfer and assignment of broadcasting station operating licenses, limits the number of broadcasting properties Jacor may acquire and regulates the operations of broadcasting stations. Additionally, in certain circumstances, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Communications Act"), and FCC rules will operate to impose limitations on alien ownership and voting of the capital stock of Jacor. The FCC is considering changes to its rules in response to the Telecom Act and other industry developments. There can be no assurance that any such rule changes will not negatively impact Jacor's operations in the future. 4 Jacor's business will be dependent upon maintaining its broadcasting licenses issued by the FCC, which are issued currently for a maximum term of five years for television and seven years for radio. Although it is rare for the FCC to deny a renewal application, there can be no assurance that the pending or future renewal applications will be approved, or that such renewals will not include conditions or qualifications that could adversely affect Jacor's operations. Moreover, governmental regulations and policies may change over time and there can be no assurance that such changes would not have a material adverse impact upon Jacor's business, financial condition and results of operations. COMPETITION; BUSINESS RISKS. Broadcasting is a highly competitive business. Jacor's radio and television stations compete for audiences and advertising revenues directly with other radio and television stations, as well as with other media, such as newspapers, magazines, cable television, outdoor advertising, and direct mail, within their respective geographic areas. Audience ratings and revenue shares are subject to change and any adverse change in a particular geographic area could have a material and adverse effect on the revenue of stations located in that geographic area. Future operations are further subject to many variables which could have an adverse effect upon Jacor's financial performance. These variables include economic conditions, both generally and relative to the broadcasting industry; shifts in population and other demographics; the level of competition for advertising dollars with other radio stations, television stations, and other entertainment and communications media; fluctuations in operating costs; technological changes and innovations; changes in labor conditions; and changes in governmental regulations and policies and actions of federal regulatory bodies. Although Jacor believes that each of its stations is able to compete effectively in its respective broadcast area, there can be no assurance that any such stations will be able to maintain or increase its current audience ratings and advertising revenues. SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE AND LIMITED FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY. Jacor's outstanding indebtedness and its offering of any debt securities hereunder may have the following important consequences: (i) significant interest expense and principal repayment obligations resulting in substantial annual fixed charges; (ii) significant limitations on Jacor's ability to obtain additional debt financing; and (iii) increased vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry conditions. In addition, Jacor's existing and anticipated credit facilities have or will have a number of financial covenants, including interest coverage, debt service coverage and a maximum ratio of debt to earnings before other expenses (income), interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization. SHARE OWNERSHIP BY ZELL/CHILMARK. Zell/Chilmark Fund L.P. ("Zell/Chilmark") holds approximately 13,349,720 shares of the outstanding Jacor Common Stock and is Jacor's largest stockholder as of the date hereof. The large share ownership of Zell/Chilmark may have the effect of discouraging certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of Jacor, including transactions in which the holders of Jacor Common Stock might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices. Subject to certain restrictions under the Securities Act, Zell/Chilmark is free to sell shares of Jacor Common Stock from time to time for any reason. By virtue of its current control of Jacor, Zell/Chilmark could sell large amounts of Jacor Common Stock by causing Jacor to file a registration statement with respect to such stock. In addition, Zell/Chilmark could sell its shares of Jacor Common Stock without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Jacor can make no prediction as to the effect, if any, that such sales of shares of Jacor Common Stock would have on the prevailing market price. Sales of substantial amounts of Jacor Common Stock, or the availability of such shares for sale, could adversely affect prevailing market prices. Sales or transfers of Jacor Common Stock by Zell/Chilmark could result in another person or entity becoming the controlling stockholder of Jacor. LACK OF DIVIDENDS; RESTRICTIONS ON PAYMENTS OF DIVIDENDS. Jacor has not paid any dividends to its stockholders. Jacor intends to retain all available earnings, if any, generated by its operations for the development and growth of its business and does not anticipate paying any dividends on Jacor Common Stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the payment of dividends on the Jacor Common Stock is restricted under Jacor's credit facilities. KEY PERSONNEL. Jacor's business is dependent upon the performance of certain key employees, including its Chief Executive Officer and its President. Jacor employs several on-air personalities with significant 5 loyal audiences in their respective broadcast areas. Jacor generally enters into long-term employment agreements with its key on-air talent to protect its interests in those relationships, but there can be no assurance that all such on-air personalities will remain with Jacor. POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACT OF OTHER SECURITIES ISSUANCES. Jacor has authorized for issuance up to 4,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. The Jacor Board of Directors has the authority, without further vote or action by Jacor stockholders, to issue the undesignated shares of Jacor Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix all rights, qualifications, preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions of each such series, including dividend rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series. Although it currently has no plans to do so, the Jacor Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, can issue Jacor Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights which would adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Jacor Common Stock. In addition, the issuance of Jacor Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Jacor and could therefore have a negative impact on the trading price of the Jacor Common Stock. Jacor may also issue other types of securities in the future that may have the same or similar negative effects as the undesignated preferred stock. See "Description of Capital Stock." FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. This Prospectus sets forth or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act. Discussions containing such forward-looking statements may be found in the material set forth under "Business of Jacor and JCC," as well as within the Prospectus generally. In addition, when used in this Prospectus, the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results in the future could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth above and the matters set forth or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus generally. Jacor undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances. Jacor cautions the reader, however, that this list of risk factors may not be exhaustive. 6 BUSINESS Jacor and JCC, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Jacor, are holding companies engaged primarily in the radio broadcasting business. Jacor's strategic objective is to be a leading radio broadcaster by operating multiple radio station platforms in each of its broadcast areas. Jacor and JCC also own and operate, through their subsidiaries, one television station in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Georgia Radio News Service, a radio news service which provides news, sports and public affairs programming to more than 140 radio stations, a national distributor of syndicated talk programming for radio broadcasting and a leading provider of satellite and network services for the radio broadcasting industry. Additional information concerning Jacor and JCC is incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. See "Available Information" and "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference." USE OF PROCEEDS Jacor does not currently have specific plans for the use of the net proceeds from the sale of Securities offered hereby. However, Jacor currently anticipates that any such net proceeds would be used for general corporate purposes, which may include but are not limited to working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness, investments and acquisitions. When a particular series of Securities is offered, the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto will set forth Jacor's intended use for the net proceeds received from the sale of such Securities. Pending the application of the net proceeds, Jacor expects to invest such proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments or other investment-grade securities. CONSOLIDATED RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND EARNINGS TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS The following table sets forth the unaudited consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges and the unaudited consolidated ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for Jacor for the periods shown (dollars in thousands):
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ----------------------------------------------------- 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Ratio of earnings to fixed charges (1)...................... N/A 1.9 6.0 5.7 1.4 --------- --------- --- --- --- --------- --------- --- --- --- Ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends (1)(2).....................................

- ------------------------ (1) For the purpose of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges as prescribed by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, earnings represent pretax income from continuing operations plus fixed charges, less interest capitalized. Fixed charges represent interest (including amounts capitalized), the portion of rent expenses deemed to be interest and amortization of deferred financing costs. (2) Jacor had no shares of Jacor Preferred Stock outstanding and no dividends were declared or paid on Jacor Preferred Stock during any of the periods indicated. DESCRIPTION OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT SECURITIES AND JCC DEBT SECURITIES The Jacor Convertible Debt Securities are to be issued under an Indenture (the "Jacor Indenture") between Jacor and a trustee to be identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement (the "Jacor Trustee"). The JCC Debt Securities and the JCC Convertible Debt Securities are to be issued under an Indenture (the "JCC Indenture") between JCC and a trustee to be identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement (the "JCC Trustee"). The Jacor Trustee and the JCC Trustee may be the same trustee. The Jacor Indenture and the JCC Indenture are sometimes collectively called the "Indentures." The terms of the Indentures will also be governed by certain provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The following summary statements with respect to the JCC Debt Securities and the Convertible Debt Securities do not purport to be 7 complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the detailed provisions of the Indentures. Although some of the following summary statements collectively refer to Jacor, JCC, the Subsidiary Guarantors and other parties, such statements concerning each party shall apply to each such party respectively and the applicable Indentures, unless otherwise noted. Capitalized terms are defined in the Indentures unless otherwise defined herein. Whenever any particular section of the Indentures or any term defined therein is referred to, such section or definition is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the form of Indentures is available upon request. GENERAL The JCC Debt Securities and the Convertible Debt Securities offered hereby will be limited to an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $250,000,000. The Jacor Indenture will not limit the amount of Jacor Convertible Debt Securities which can be issued thereunder and will provide that additional Jacor Convertible Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series thereunder up to the aggregate principal amount which may be authorized from time to time by Jacor's Board of Directors. The JCC Indenture will not limit the amount of JCC Debt Securities or JCC Convertible Debt Securities which can be issued thereunder and will provide that additional JCC Debt Securities or JCC Convertible Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series thereunder up to the aggregate principal amount which may be authorized from time to time by JCC's Board of Directors. The Jacor Convertible Debt Securities, the JCC Convertible Debt Securities and the JCC Debt Securities will be unsecured obligations of Jacor or JCC, respectively, and to the extent as may be permitted under Jacor's and JCC's then-existing loan agreements and indentures, will rank either senior to or equally and ratably with all other unsecured indebtedness of JCC. The Jacor Convertible Debt Securities, the JCC Convertible Debt Securities and the JCC Debt Securities also may be subordinate, and junior in right of payment to all Senior Debt, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the respective Indenture. See "Subordination." The Jacor Convertible Debt Securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JCC and may be further guaranteed fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally with JCC by certain subsidiaries of JCC (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). The JCC Debt Securities and JCC Convertible Debt Securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by Jacor and may be further guaranteed fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally with Jacor by the Subsidiary Guarantors (collectively with JCC and Jacor, the "Guarantors"). The obligations of each Guarantor under its guarantee, however, will be limited in a manner intended to avoid such guarantee being deemed a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Fraudulent Transfer Considerations" below. Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement relating to the particular Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities offered thereby for the following terms, where applicable, of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities: (i) the specific designation of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities; (ii) the denominations in which such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities are authorized to be issued; (iii) the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities; (iv) the date or dates on which the principal of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities will mature or the method of determining such date or dates; (v) the price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount thereof) at which the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities will be issued; (vi) the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) at which such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities will bear interest, if any, or the method of calculating such rate or rates; (vii) the times and places where principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities will be payable; (viii) the date, if any, after which such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities may be redeemed and the redemption prices; (ix) the date or dates on which interest, if any, will be payable and the record date or dates therefor or the method by which such date or dates will be determined; (x) the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which, the currency or currencies (including currency units) in which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of Jacor or JCC, as applicable; (xi) the obligation, if any, of Jacor or JCC to redeem or purchase such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions, upon the happening of a specified event or at the option of a holder thereof and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which, such 8 Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities shall be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligations; (xii) the terms and conditions upon which conversion or exchange of such Convertible Debt Securities will be effected, including the exchange terms, the conversion price, the conversion period and other conversion or exchange provisions in addition to or in lieu of those described below; (xiii) if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities which will be payable upon declaration of the acceleration of the maturity thereof or the method by which such portion shall be determined; (xiv) the person to whom any interest on any such Debt Security or Convertible Debt Security shall be payable if other than the person in whose name such Debt Security or Convertible Debt Security is registered on the applicable record date; (xv) any addition to, or modification or deletion of, any Event of Default or any covenant of Jacor or JCC specified in the Indenture with respect to such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities; (xvi) the application, if any, of such means of defeasance or covenant defeasance as may be specified for such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities; (xvii) whether such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more temporary or permanent global securities and, if so, the identity of the depositary for such global security or securities; (xviii) whether such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities shall be subordinated and subject to the right to prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, including the then-existing credit facilities; and (xix) any other special terms pertaining to such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, principal and premium, if any, or interest, if any, will be payable and the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities may be surrendered for payment or transferred at the offices of the applicable Trustee as paying and authenticating agent, provided that payment of interest on Registered Securities may be made at the option of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears in the Security Register. Payment of Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities in bearer form will be made at such paying agencies outside of the United States as Jacor or JCC, as applicable, may appoint. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities will be issued in fully registered form without coupons in denominations set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, but Jacor or JCC, as applicable, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Where Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities of any series are issued in bearer form, the special restrictions and considerations, including special offering restrictions and special Federal income tax considerations, applicable to any such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities and to payment on and transfer and exchange of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities will be described in the Prospectus Supplement. Bearer Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities will be transferrable by delivery. Some of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities may be issued at a discount (bearing no interest or interest at below market rates) to be sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount. Federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any such Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Prospectus Supplement for a particular series may indicate terms for redemption at the option of a Holder. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the covenants contained in the Indentures and the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities (as the case may be) would not provide for redemption at the option of a Holder nor necessarily afford Holders thereof protection in the event of a highly leveraged or other transaction that may adversely affect such Holders. CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT SECURITIES The following provisions will further apply to Convertible Debt Securities, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement for such Convertible Debt Securities. The holder of any Convertible Debt Securities will have the right exercisable at any time prior to maturity, or prior to such other date as may be specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, unless previously redeemed by Jacor or JCC, as applicable, to convert such Convertible Debt Securities into shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor 9 Preferred Stock at the conversion price set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, subject to adjustment. In the case of Convertible Debt Securities called for redemption, conversion rights will expire at the close of business on the date fixed for the redemption unless Jacor or JCC, as applicable, shall default in payment of the redemption price, except that in the case of redemption at the option of the Holder thereof, if applicable, the conversion right will terminate upon receipt of written notice of the exercise of such option. In certain events, the conversion price will be subject to adjustment as set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Fractional shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock will not be issued upon conversion, but, in lieu thereof, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, will pay a cash adjustment based on the then current market price for the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock. EXCHANGEABILITY The Holders of Convertible Debt Securities of any series may be obligated at any time or at maturity to exchange them for Jacor Common Stock, Jacor Preferred Stock or other debt securities of Jacor issued hereunder. The terms of any such exchange will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series of Convertible Debt Securities. SUBORDINATION The Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities may be subordinated and junior in right of payment, to the extent set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, to all "Senior Debt" of Jacor, JCC or the Guarantors, as applicable, including the then-existing credit facilities, as set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. To the extent the JCC Debt Securities and/or the Convertible Debt Securities are subordinated to Senior Debt, the Indentures will provide that no payment (including any payment which may be payable to any Holder by reason of the subordination of any other indebtedness or other obligations to, or guarantee of, the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities) or distribution (by set-off or otherwise) may be made by or on behalf of Jacor, JCC or a Guarantor, as applicable, on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities (including any repurchases of Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities) or any other amounts with respect thereto, or on account of the redemption provisions of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities, for cash or property (other than Junior Securities), (i) upon the maturity of any Senior Debt of Jacor, JCC or such Guarantor by lapse of time, acceleration (unless waived) or otherwise, unless and until all principal of, premium, if any, and the interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, such Senior Debt are first paid in full in cash or otherwise to the extent each of the holders of Senior Debt accept satisfaction of amounts due to such holder by settlement in other than cash, or (ii) in the event of default in the payment of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or any other amounts with respect to, Senior Debt of Jacor, JCC or such Guarantor when it becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise (each of the foregoing, a "Payment Default"), unless and until such Payment Default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist. Upon (i) the happening of a default (other than a Payment Default) that permits the holders of Senior Debt (or a percentage thereof) to declare such Senior Debt to be due and payable and (ii) written notice of such default given to Jacor, JCC or such Guarantor, as applicable, and the Trustee by Representative under the then-existing credit facilities or the holders of an aggregate of at least $25.0 million principal amount outstanding of any other Senior Debt or their representative at such holders' direction (a "Payment Notice"), then, unless and until such default has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist, no payment (including any payment which may be payable to any Holder by reason of the subordination of any other indebtedness or other obligations to, or guarantee of, the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities) or distribution (by set-off or otherwise) may be made by or on behalf of Jacor, JCC or any Guarantor which is an obligor under such Senior Debt on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities (including any repurchases of any of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities), or any other amount with respect thereto, or on account of the redemption provisions of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities, in any such case, other than payments made with Junior Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Senior Debt in respect of which such default exists has been declared due and payable in its entirety within 10 179 days after the Payment Notice is delivered as set forth above (the "Payment Blockage Period") (and such declaration has not been rescinded or waived), at the end of the Payment Blockage Period (and assuming that no Payment Default exists), Jacor, JCC and the Guarantors, as applicable, shall not be prohibited by the subordination provisions from paying all sums then due and not paid to the Holders of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities during the Payment Blockage Period due to the foregoing prohibitions and to resume all other payments as and when due on the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities. Any number of Payment Notices may be given; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) not more than one Payment Notice shall be given within a period of any 360 consecutive days, and (ii) no default that existed upon the date of delivery of such Payment Notice (whether or not such default is on the same issue of Senior Debt) shall be made the basis for the commencement of any other Payment Blockage Period. Upon any distribution of assets of Jacor, JCC or any Guarantor upon any dissolution, winding up, total or partial liquidation or reorganization of Jacor, JCC or a Guarantor, whether voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or a similar proceeding or upon assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of assets or liabilities, (i) the holders of all Senior Debt of Jacor, JCC or such Guarantor, as applicable, will first be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts of Senior Debt in cash or otherwise to the extent each of such holders accepts satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than cash before the Holders are entitled to receive any payment (including any payment which may be payable to any Holder by reason of the subordination of any other indebtedness or other obligations to, or guarantee of, the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities) or distribution on account of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, or any other amounts with respect to, the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities (other than Junior Securities) and (ii) any payment or distribution of assets of Jacor, JCC or such Guarantor of any kind or character from any source, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Junior Securities) to which the Holders or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders would be entitled (by set-off or otherwise) except for the subordination provisions contained in the Indentures, will be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such a payment or distribution directly to the holders of such Senior Debt or their representative to the extent necessary to make payment in full on all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of Jacor, JCC or any Guarantor (other than Junior Securities) shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders at a time when such payment or distribution is prohibited by the foregoing provisions, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Debt, and shall be paid or delivered by the Trustee or such Holders, as the case may be, to the holders of such Senior Debt remaining unpaid or to their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate principal amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Debt held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Debt in full in cash or otherwise to the extent each of the holders of such Senior Debt accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than cash after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt. The Indentures will contain other customary subordination provisions, including rights of subrogation and rights to file claims in bankruptcy. As among Jacor, JCC, the Guarantors and the Holders, no provision contained in the Indentures or the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities will affect the obligations of Jacor, JCC and the Guarantors, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay, when due, principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities. The subordination provisions of the Indentures and the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities will not prevent the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under the Indentures or limit the rights of the Trustee or any Holder to pursue any other rights or remedies with respect to the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities. As a result of these subordination provisions, in the event of the liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding or an assignment for the benefit of the creditors of Jacor, 11 JCC or any of the Guarantors or a marshaling of assets or liabilities of Jacor, JCC or any of the Guarantors, holders of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities may receive ratably less than other creditors. Jacor and JCC conduct operations through their subsidiaries. Accordingly, Jacor's and JCC's ability to meet their cash obligations will be dependent upon the ability of their subsidiaries to make cash distributions to Jacor and JCC, respectively. Furthermore, any right of Jacor or JCC to receive the assets of any such subsidiary upon such subsidiary's liquidation or reorganization effectively will be subordinated by operation of law to the claims of such subsidiary's creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of such subsidiary's preferred stock, except to the extent that Jacor or JCC, as applicable, is itself recognized as a creditor or preferred stockholder of such subsidiary, in which case the claims of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, would still be subordinate to any indebtedness or preferred stock of such subsidiary senior in right of payment to that held by Jacor or JCC, as applicable. FRAUDULENT TRANSFER CONSIDERATIONS Generally, under various state and federal fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance laws (collectively, "the Fraudulent Transfer Laws"), a Guarantor's obligations under the Guarantee of the JCC Debt Securities and/or the Convertible Debt Securities could be avoided if a court in a lawsuit by an unpaid creditor of a Guarantor or a representative of such creditors (such as a trustee in bankruptcy or JCC as debtor-in-possession) were to find that (i) the Guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in exchange for the obligation created by the applicable Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities and (ii) at the time of the issuance of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the Guarantor (A) was insolvent or became insolvent as a result of the incurrence of the obligations represented by such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, (B) was engaged, or was about to be engaged, in a business or transaction for which the property remaining with it was an unreasonably small capital or for which its unencumbered assets constituted unreasonably small capital, or (C) intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as such debts matured. A court could conclude that a Guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration to the extent that such Guarantor's liability on its guarantee exceeds the economic benefits that it receives in the offering of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities. Were a court to so find, the court could avoid the Guarantor's obligation under its guarantee and direct the return of amounts paid thereunder if one or more of the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (ii)(A), (B), or (C) above were also met as to such Guarantor. Management believes, however, that the Guarantees will be structured so as to minimize the likelihood that a court would find that the Guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its Guarantee (the "Savings Clause"). No assurance, however, can be given that a court would uphold such a fraudulent transfer Savings Clause. Moreover, there can be no assurance that a court would not limit a Guarantee to an amount equal to the proceeds actually received by any given Guarantor from the offering of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities. The determination of insolvency for purposes of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws may vary depending upon the law of the jurisdiction being applied. Generally, however, an entity is insolvent if (i) the sum of its debts (including unliquidated or contingent debts) is greater than all of its property, at a fair valuation or (ii) the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount that will be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured. Additionally, under certain state Fraudulent Transfer Laws, an entity is presumed to be insolvent if it is generally not paying its debts as they become due. Furthermore, a court could avoid Jacor's obligations under the Jacor Convertible Debt Securities, JCC's obligations under the JCC Debt Securities and/or JCC Convertible Debt Securities and the Guarantors' obligations under their respective Guarantees without regard to the solvency, capitalization and other conditions described in clauses (ii)(A), (B), and (C) above if it finds that the obligations created by such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities or the Guarantees were incurred with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud now existing or future creditors. If the obligations under such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities were to be avoided, there can be no assurance that the recoveries under the Guarantees would be sufficient to pay the outstanding amounts due and owing under such Convertible 12 Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities. Moreover, if the obligations of one or more Guarantors were to be avoided, there can be no assurance that the remaining Guarantees would be sufficient to ensure payment in full on such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities. CERTAIN COVENANTS REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL The Indentures will provide that in the event that a Change of Control has occurred, each Holder of Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities will have the right, at such Holder's option, pursuant to an irrevocable and unconditional offer by Jacor or JCC , as applicable, (the "Change of Control Offer"), to require Jacor or JCC, as applicable, to repurchase all or any part of such Holder's Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities (PROVIDED, that the principal amount of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) on a date (the "Change of Control Purchase Date") that is no later than 35 Business Days after the occurrence of such Change of Control, at a cash price (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of Control Purchase Date. The Change of Control Offer shall be made within 10 Business Days following a Change of Control and shall remain open for 20 Business Days following its commencement (the "Change of Control Offer Period"). Upon expiration of the Change of Control Offer Period, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, promptly shall purchase all Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities properly tendered in response to the Change of Control Offer. As used herein, a "Change of Control" will mean (i) any merger or consolidation of JCC with or into any person or any sale, transfer or other conveyance, whether direct or indirect, of all or substantially all of any of the assets of JCC, on a consolidated basis, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, if, immediately after giving effect to such transaction(s), any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable) (other than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in the aggregate normally entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers, or trustees, as applicable, of the transferee(s) or surviving entity or entities, (ii) any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable) (other than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in the aggregate of all classes of Capital Stock of JCC then outstanding normally entitled to vote in elections of directors, or (iii) during any period of 12 consecutive months after the Issue Date, individuals who at the beginning of any such 12-month period constituted the Board of Directors of JCC (together with any new directors whose election by such Board or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of JCC was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of JCC then in office. On or before the Change of Control Purchase Date, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, will (i) accept for payment Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price (together with accrued and unpaid interest) of all Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities so tendered and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate listing the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities or portions thereof being purchased by Jacor or JCC, as applicable. The Paying Agent promptly will pay the Holders of Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities so accepted an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price (together with accrued and unpaid interest), and the Trustee promptly will authenticate and deliver to such Holders a new Convertible Debt Security or JCC Debt Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities surrendered. Any Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities not so accepted will be delivered promptly by Jacor or JCC, as applicable, to the Holder thereof. Jacor or JCC, as applicable, publicly will announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Purchase Date. 13 A change of control under the indenture which governs each of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, the LYONs (as defined herein) and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes will result in a default under the Credit Facility (as defined herein). Additionally, unless Jacor and/or JCC, as applicable, is successful in seeking consents from its lenders under the Credit Facility to permit change of control repurchase offers for each of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, the LYONs or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes or Jacor and/or JCC, as applicable, is successful in refinancing such borrowings, such event of default under the Credit Facility would constitute an event of default under each of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, the LYONs and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes. Such events of default could result in the immediate acceleration of all then outstanding indebtedness under each of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, the LYONs and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes. As a result, differences in the definitions of change of control under the indentures for the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, the LYONs and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes will not have a difference in the effect on Jacor or JCC , as applicable, or the respective holders other than where the lenders under the Credit Facility have waived such event of default. In the event of such waiver there could be a change of control under the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes which would not result in a change of control under the LYONs or VICE VERSA. See "Description of Indebtedness." The Change of Control purchase feature of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities may make more difficult or discourage a takeover of Jacor or JCC, and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. The phrase "all or substantially all" of the assets of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, will likely be interpreted under applicable state law and will be dependent upon particular facts and circumstances. As a result, there may be a degree of uncertainty in ascertaining whether a sale or transfer of "all or substantially all" of the assets of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, has occurred. In addition, no assurance can be given that Jacor or JCC, as applicable, will be able to acquire Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities tendered upon the occurrence of a Change of Control. Any Change of Control Offer will be made in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, if applicable, Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder and all other applicable Federal and state securities laws. LIMITATION ON INCURRENCE OF ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS AND DISQUALIFIED CAPITAL STOCK The Indentures will provide that, except as set forth below in this covenant, Jacor, JCC and any Subsidiary Guarantors will not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, issue, assume, guaranty, incur, become directly or indirectly liable with respect to (including as a result of an Acquisition), or otherwise become responsible for, contingently or otherwise (individually and collectively, to "incur" or, as appropriate, an "incurrence"), any Indebtedness or any Disqualified Capital Stock (including Acquired Indebtedness) other than Permitted Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, Jacor or JCC may incur Indebtedness and Disqualified Capital Stock in addition to Permitted Indebtedness: if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur after giving effect on a PRO FORMA basis to, such incurrence of Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock and (ii) on the date of such incurrence (the "Incurrence Date"), the Leverage Ratio of JCC for the Reference Period immediately preceding the Incurrence Date, after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such incurrence of such Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock and, to the extent set forth in the definition of Leverage Ratio, the use of proceeds thereof, would be less than the ratio specified in the Indentures. Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock of any person which is outstanding at the time such person becomes a Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC (including upon designation of any subsidiary or other person as a Subsidiary) or is merged with or into or consolidated with Jacor or JCC or a Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC, respectively, shall be deemed to have been incurred at the time such Person becomes such a Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC, respectively, or is merged with or into or consolidated with Jacor or JCC, respectively, or a Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC, as applicable. 14 LIMITATION ON RESTRICTED PAYMENTS The Indentures will provide that Jacor and JCC and their Subsidiaries will not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment if, after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a PRO FORMA basis, (1) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (2) Jacor and JCC is not permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio described in the covenant "Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Disqualified Capital Stock," or (3) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made by Jacor and JCC and their Subsidiaries, including after giving effect to such proposed Restricted Payment, from and after the Issue Date, would exceed the amount specified in the Indentures. The foregoing clauses (2) and (3) of the immediately preceding paragraph, however, will not prohibit (w) payments to Jacor to reimburse Jacor for reasonable and necessary corporate and administrative expenses, (x) Restricted Investments, provided, that, after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Investment, the aggregate amount of all such Restricted Investments made on or after the Issue Date that are outstanding (after giving effect to any such Restricted Investments that are returned to JCC or the Subsidiary Guarantor that made such prior Restricted Investment, without restriction, in cash on or prior to the date of any such calculation) at any time does not exceed an amount specified in the Indentures, (y) a Qualified Exchange, and (z) the payment of any dividend on Qualified Capital Stock within 60 days after the date of its declaration if such dividend could have been made on the date of such declaration in compliance with the foregoing provisions. LIMITATION ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING SUBSIDIARIES The Indentures will provide that Jacor, JCC and their Subsidiaries will not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, create, assume or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the ability of any Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC to pay dividends or make other distributions to or on behalf of, or to pay any obligation to or on behalf of, or otherwise to transfer assets or property to or on behalf of, or make or pay loans or advances to or on behalf of, Jacor or JCC or any Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC, respectively, except (a) restrictions imposed by the JCC Debt Securities, the Convertible Debt Securities or the Indenture, (b) restrictions imposed by applicable law, (c) existing restrictions under specified Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date, (d) restrictions under any Acquired Indebtedness not incurred in violation of the Indentures or any agreement relating to any property, asset, or business acquired by Jacor, JCC or any of their Subsidiaries, which restrictions in each case existed at the time of acquisition, were not put in place in connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition and are not applicable to any person, other than the person acquired, or to any property, asset or business, other than the property, assets and business so acquired, (e) any such restriction or requirement imposed by Indebtedness incurred under paragraph (f) under the definition of Permitted Indebtedness, provided such restriction or requirement is no more restrictive than that imposed by Jacor's or JCC's, as applicable, credit facilities in effect as of the Issue Date, (f) restrictions with respect solely to a Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC imposed pursuant to a binding agreement which has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or assets of such Subsidiary, provided such restrictions apply solely to the Equity Interests or assets of such Subsidiary which are being sold, and (g) in connection with and pursuant to permitted Refinancings, replacements of restrictions imposed pursuant to clauses (a), (c) or (d) of this paragraph that are not more restrictive than those being replaced and do not apply to any other person or assets than those that would have been covered by the restrictions in the Indebtedness so refinanced.

The Indentures will provide that an Asset Sale Offer may be deferred until the accumulated Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales not applied to the uses set forth in (1)(b) or (1)(c) above (the "Excess Proceeds") exceeds $5.0 million and that each Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for 20 Business Days following its 16 commencement and no longer (the "Asset Sale Offer Period"). Upon expiration of the Asset Sale Offer Period, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, shall apply the Asset Sale Offer Amount plus an amount equal to accrued interest to the purchase of all Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities properly tendered (on a PRO RATA basis if the Asset Sale Offer Amount is insufficient to purchase all Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities so tendered) at the Asset Sale Offer Price (together with accrued interest). To the extent that the aggregate amount of Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, may use any remaining Net Cash Proceeds for general corporate purposes as otherwise permitted by the Indentures and following each Asset Sale Offer the Excess Proceeds amount shall be reset to zero. If required by applicable law, the Asset Sale Offer Period may be extended as so required, however, if so extended it shall nevertheless constitute an Event of Default if within 60 Business Days of its commencement the Asset Sale Offer is not consummated or the properly tendered Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities are not purchased pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the first paragraph of this covenant the Indentures will provide that with respect to an Asset Sale Offer, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, will not be permitted to commence an Asset Sale Offer for the Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities until such time as an Asset Sale Offer for the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes in each case if required, has been completed. To the extent that any Excess Proceeds remain after expiration of an Asset Sale Offer Period for the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, may use the remaining Net Cash Proceeds to commence an Asset Sale Offer for the Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities; PROVIDED, that the amount of Net Cash Proceeds used for such Asset Sale Offer for the Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities shall not exceed the amount required under the covenant Limitation on Sale of Assets and Subsidiary Stock set forth in the indenture governing the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect to the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes this paragraph shall be of no further force and effect upon the earlier of (w) the maturity of the 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, as applicable, (x) the date upon which defeasance of the 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, as applicable, becomes effective, (y) the date on which there are no longer any 1996 10 1/8% Notes or 1996 9 3/4% Notes, as applicable, outstanding under the terms of the governing indenture and (z) the date on which the Limitation on Sale of Assets and Subsidiary Stock covenant no longer applies in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the first paragraph of this covenant and without complying with the foregoing provisions: (i) Jacor or JCC, as applicable, and its Subsidiaries may convey, sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of assets pursuant to and in accordance with the limitation on mergers, sales or consolidations provisions in the Indentures; (ii) Jacor or JCC, as applicable, and its Subsidiaries may sell or dispose of inventory or damaged, worn out or other obsolete property in the ordinary course of business so long as such property is no longer necessary for the proper conduct of the business of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, or such Subsidiary, as applicable; and (iii) any of Jacor's or JCC's, as applicable, Subsidiaries may convey, sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of assets to, or merge with or into, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, or any of its wholly owned Subsidiary Guarantors. All Net Cash Proceeds from an Event of Loss shall be applied to the restoration, repair or replacement of the asset so affected or invested, used for prepayment of Senior Debt, or used to repurchase Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities, all within the period and as otherwise provided above in clauses 1(a), 1(b) or 1(c) of the first paragraph of this covenant. In addition to the foregoing, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly make any Asset Sale of any of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary except pursuant to an Asset Sale of all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary. 17 Any Asset Sale Offer shall be made in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including, if applicable, Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and all other applicable Federal and state securities laws.

LIMITATION ON TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES The Indentures will provide that neither Jacor, JCC nor any of their Subsidiaries will be permitted after the Issue Date to enter into any contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction with any Affiliate (an "Affiliate Transaction"), or any series of related Affiliate Transactions (other than Exempted Affiliate Transactions), (i) unless it is determined that the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are fair and reasonable to Jacor or JCC, as applicable, and no less favorable to Jacor or JCC, as applicable, than could have been obtained in an arm's length transaction with a non-Affiliate and, (ii) if involving consideration to either party in excess of $5.0 million, unless such Affiliate Transaction(s) is evidenced by (A) an Officers' Certificate addressed and delivered to the Trustee certifying that such Affiliate Transaction(s) has been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, who are disinterested in such transaction or, (B) with regard to JCC, in the event there are no members of the Board of Directors of JCC who are disinterested in such transaction, then so long as JCC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jacor, an Officers' Certificate addressed and delivered to the Trustee certifying that such Affiliate Transaction(s) have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of Jacor who are disinterested in such transaction and (iii) if involving consideration to either party in excess of $10.0 million, unless in addition Jacor or JCC, as applicable, prior to the consummation thereof, obtains a written favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction to Jacor or JCC, as applicable, from a financial point of view from an independent investment banking firm of national reputation. LIMITATION ON MERGER, SALE OR CONSOLIDATION The Indentures will provide that Jacor and JCC will not, directly or indirectly, consolidate with or merge with or into another person or sell, lease, convey or transfer all or substantially all of their assets (computed on a consolidated basis), whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, to another person or group of affiliated persons or adopt a Plan of Liquidation, unless (i) either (a) Jacor or JCC, as applicable, is the continuing entity or (b) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, the entity which receives the greatest value from such Plan of Liquidation is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, in connection with the JCC Debt Securities, Convertible Debt Securities and/or the Indentures; (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or shall occur immediately after giving effect on a PRO FORMA basis to such transaction; and (iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a PRO FORMA basis, the consolidated resulting, surviving or transferee entity or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, the entity which receives the greatest 18 value from such Plan of Liquidation would immediately thereafter be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio set forth in the covenant described under "Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Disqualified Capital Stock". Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Jacor or JCC or consummation of a Plan of Liquidation in accordance with the foregoing, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which Jacor or JCC, as applicable, is merged or to which such transfer is made or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, the entity which receives the greatest value from such Plan of Liquidation shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, Jacor or JCC under the Indentures with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named therein as Jacor or JCC, and Jacor or JCC shall be released from the obligations under the respective Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities and the Indentures except with respect to any obligations that arise from, or are related to, such transaction.

The Indentures will provide that if a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee must, within 90 days after the occurrence of such Default, give to the Holders notice of such Default. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (iv) above relating to Jacor, JCC or any Significant Subsidiary,) then in every such case, unless the principal of all of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities at the time outstanding, by notice in writing to Jacor or JCC (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) (an "Acceleration Notice"), may declare all principal, determined as set forth below, and accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any Senior Debt is outstanding pursuant to Jacor's or JCC's credit facilities then in effect upon a declaration of such acceleration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable upon the earlier of (x) the third Business Day after the sending to Jacor or JCC, as applicable, and the Representative of such written notice, unless such Event of Default is cured or waived prior to such date and (y) the date of acceleration of any Senior Debt under such credit facilities. In the event a declaration of acceleration resulting from an Event of Default described in clause (v) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if such default is cured or waived or the holders of the Indebtedness which is the subject of such default have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness within five days thereof and the Trustee has received written notice or such cure, waiver or rescission and no other Event of Default described in clause (v) above has occurred that has not been cured or waived within five days of the declaration of such acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness. If an Event of Default specified in clause (iv), above, relating to Jacor, JCC or any Significant Subsidiary occurs, all principal and accrued interest thereon will be immediately due and payable on all outstanding Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities without any declaration or other act on the part of Trustee or the Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities at the time outstanding, as the case may be, generally are authorized to rescind such acceleration if all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities which have become due solely by such acceleration and except on default with respect to any provision requiring a supermajority approval to amend, which default may only be waived by such a supermajority, and have been cured or waived. Prior to the declaration of acceleration of the maturity of any Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities at the time outstanding, as the case may be, may waive on behalf of all the Holders any default, except on default with respect to any provision requiring a supermajority approval to amend, which default may only be waived by such a supermajority, and except a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Debt Security or Convertible Debt Security not yet cured or a default with respect to any covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Debt Security or Convertible Debt Security affected. Subject to the provisions of the Indentures relating to the duties of the Trustee, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indentures at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity. Subject to all provisions of the Indentures and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Debt Securities or 21 JCC Debt Securities at the time outstanding, as the case may be, will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE The Indentures will provide that Jacor or JCC may, at its option, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to the outstanding Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities ("Legal Defeasance"). Such Legal Defeasance means that Jacor or JCC, as applicable, shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented, and the Indentures shall cease to be of further effect as to all such outstanding Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities and Guarantees, except as to (i) rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities when such payments are due from the trust funds; (ii) Jacor's or JCC's, as applicable, obligations with respect to such Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities concerning issuing temporary Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities, registration of Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities, and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; (iii) the rights, powers, trust, duties, and immunities of the Trustee, and Jacor's or JCC's, as applicable, obligations in connection therewith; and (iv) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indentures.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes 104,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 100,000,000 shares are Jacor Common Stock, 2,000,000 shares are Class A Preferred Stock, $.01 par value and 2,000,000 shares are Class B Preferred Stock, $.01 par value (together with the Class A Preferred Stock, the "Preferred Stock"). As of February 28, 1997, 34,834,780 shares of Jacor Common Stock were issued and outstanding. JACOR COMMON STOCK Under Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware law, the holders of Jacor Common Stock have no preemptive rights and the Jacor Common Stock has no redemption, sinking fund, or conversion privileges. The holders of Jacor Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on any matter submitted to the stockholders and do not have the right to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. All corporate action requiring stockholder approval, unless otherwise required by law, Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation or its Bylaws, must be authorized by a majority of the votes cast. Approval of only a majority of the outstanding voting shares is required to effect (i) an amendment to Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation, (ii) a merger or consolidation, and (iii) a disposition of all or substantially all of Jacor's assets. A majority of the directors on the Jacor Board, as well as a majority of the outstanding voting shares, have the ability to amend the Jacor Bylaws. In the event of liquidation, each share of Jacor Common Stock is entitled to share ratably in the distribution of remaining assets after payment of all debts, subject to the prior rights in liquidation of any share of Jacor Preferred Stock issued. Holders of shares of Jacor Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in such dividends as the Jacor Board of Directors, in its discretion, may validly declare from funds legally available therefor, subject to the prior rights of holders of shares of Jacor Preferred Stock as may be outstanding from time to time. Certain restrictions on the payment of dividends are imposed under the Credit Facility. See "Risk Factors--Lack of Dividends; Restrictions on Payments of Dividends." JACOR CLASS A AND CLASS B PREFERRED STOCK No shares of Jacor Preferred Stock have been issued. The Class A Preferred Stock has full voting rights. The Class B Preferred Stock has no voting rights except as otherwise provided by law or as lawfully fixed by the Jacor Board of Directors with respect to a particular series. Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Jacor Board of Directors to provide from time to time for the issuance of the shares of Jacor Preferred Stock and by resolution to establish the terms of each such series, including (i) the number of shares of the series and the designation thereof, (ii) the rights in respect of dividends on the shares, (iii) liquidation rights, (iv) redemption rights, (v) the terms of any purchase, retirement or sinking fund to be provided for the shares of the series, (vi) terms of conversion, if any, (vii) restrictions, limitations and conditions, if any, on issuance of indebtedness of Jacor, (viii) voting rights; and (ix) any other preferences and other rights and limitations not inconsistent with law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or any resolution of the Jacor Board of Directors. The issuance of Jacor Preferred Stock, while providing flexibility in connection with the possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could among other things adversely affect the rights of holders of 33 Jacor Common Stock, and, under certain circumstances, make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of Jacor. In the event that shares of Jacor Preferred Stock are issued and convertible into shares of Jacor Common Stock the holders of Jacor Common Stock may experience dilution. The Prospectus Supplement for any series of Jacor Preferred Stock will state the terms, if any, on which shares of that series are convertible into shares of another series of Jacor Preferred Stock or Jacor Common Stock or exchangeable for another series of Jacor Preferred Stock, Jacor Common Stock or other debt securities issued hereunder. JACOR DEPOSITARY SHARES Jacor may, at its option, elect to offer fractional shares of Class A or Class B Preferred Stock, rather than full shares of Class A or Class B Preferred Stock. In the event such option is exercised, Jacor will issue receipts for Jacor Depositary Shares, each of which will represent a fraction (to be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating to the Class A or Class B Preferred Stock) of a share of such Jacor Preferred Stock. The share of Class A or Class B Preferred Stock represented by Jacor Depositary Shares will be deposited under a Deposit Agreement (the "Deposit Agreement") between Jacor and a bank or trust company selected by Jacor having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (the "Depositary"). Subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement, each owner of a Depositary Share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of Class A or Class B Preferred Stock represented by such Depositary Share, to all the rights and preferences of the Class A or Class B Preferred Stock represented thereby (including dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights). The above summary description of the Jacor Depositary Shares does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the description in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and the detailed provisions of the Deposit Agreement (which will contain the form of Depositary Receipt). A copy of the form of Deposit Agreement is available upon request. CITICASTERS WARRANTS Jacor issued warrants (the "Citicasters Warrants") pursuant to the terms of its February 1996 agreement to acquire Citicasters Inc. through a merger (the "Citicasters Merger") of JCC (formerly JCAC, Inc.) with and into Citicasters Inc. ("Citicasters"). If all of the Citicasters Warrants are exercised, 4,400,000 shares of Jacor Common Stock would be issued. Each Citicasters Warrant initially entitles the holder thereof to purchase .2035247 of a share of Jacor Common Stock at a price of $28.00 per full share (the "Citicasters Price"). The Citicasters Price and the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Citicasters Warrant are subject to adjustment in certain events described below. Each Citicasters Warrant may be exercised until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 18, 2001 (the "Citicasters Expiration Date") in accordance with the terms of the Citicasters Warrants and Citicasters Warrant Agreement. To the extent that any Citicasters Warrant remains outstanding after such time, such unexercised Citicasters Warrant will automatically terminate. Citicasters Warrants may be exercised by surrendering to the warrant agent a signed Citicasters Warrant certificate together with the form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof indicating the warrant holder's election to exercise all or a portion of the Citicasters Warrants evidenced by such certificate. Surrendered certificates must be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Citicasters Price in respect of the Citicasters Warrant to be exercised, which payment may be made in cash or by certified or bank cashier's check drawn on a banking institution chartered by the government of the United States or any state thereof payable to the order of Jacor. No adjustments as to cash dividends with respect to the Jacor Common Stock will be made upon any exercise of Citicasters Warrants. 34 If fewer than all of the Citicasters Warrants evidenced by any certificate are exercised, the warrant agent will deliver to the exercising warrant holder a new Citicasters Warrant certificate representing the unexercised Citicasters Warrants. Jacor will not be required to issue fractional shares of Jacor Common Stock upon exercise of any Citicasters Warrant and in lieu thereof will pay in cash an amount equal to the same fraction of the closing price per share of the Jacor Common Stock, determined as provided in the Citicasters Warrant Agreement. Jacor has reserved for issuance a number of shares of Jacor Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Citicasters Warrants. A Citicasters Warrant may not be exercised in whole or in part if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to Jacor the issuance of Jacor Common Stock upon such exercise would cause Jacor to be in violation of the Communications Act or the rules and regulations in effect thereunder. The number of shares of Jacor Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Citicasters Warrant and the Citicasters Price are subject to the adjustment in connection with (i) the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of Jacor Common Stock, a combination or subdivision or issuance by reclassification of Jacor Common Stock; (ii) the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Jacor Common Stock without charge to such holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Jacor Common Stock at a price per share which is lower than the current market price; and (iii) certain distributions by Jacor to the holders of Jacor Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness or of its assets (excluding cash dividends, or distributions out of earnings or out of surplus legally available for dividends) or of convertible securities, all as set forth in the Citicasters Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Citicasters Warrants will be required until such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Citicasters Warrant. In addition, Jacor may at its option reduce the Citicasters Price. In case of any consolidation or merger of Jacor with or into another corporation, or any sale, transfer or lease to another corporation of all or substantially all of the property of Jacor, the Citicasters Warrant Agreement requires that effective provisions be made so that each holder of an outstanding Citicasters Warrant will have the right thereafter to exercise the Citicasters Warrant for the kind and amount of securities and property receivable in connection with such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock for which such Citicasters Warrant were exercisable immediately prior thereto. The Citicasters Warrant Agreement may be amended or supplemented without the consent of the holders of Citicasters Warrants to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision contained therein, or to make such other necessary or desirable changes which shall not adversely affect the interests of the warrant holders. Any other amendment to the Citicasters Warrant Agreement requires the consent of warrant holders representing not less than 50% of the Citicasters Warrants then outstanding provided that no change in the number or nature of the securities purchasable upon the exercise of any Citicasters Warrant, or the Citicasters Price therefor, or the acceleration of the Citicasters Expiration Date, and no change in the antidilution provisions which would adversely affect the interest of the holders of Citicasters Warrants, shall be made without the consent of the holder of such Citicasters Warrant, other than such changes as are specifically prescribed by the Citicasters Warrant Agreement or are made in compliance with the applicable law. No holder of Citicasters Warrants is entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of Jacor Common Stock until the Citicasters Warrants are properly exercised as provided in the Citicasters Warrant Agreement. REGENT WARRANTS Jacor issued warrants (the "Regent Warrants") pursuant to the terms of its October 1996 merger agreement (the "Regent Merger Agreement") with Regent Communications, Inc. ("Regent"), whereby Regent merged with and into Jacor. If all such Regent Warrants are exercised, 500,000 shares of Jacor Common Stock would be issued. Each Regent Warrant initially entitles the holder thereof to purchase .11271 (the "Fraction") of a share of Jacor Common Stock at a price of $40.00 per full share (the "Regent Price"). The Regent Price and the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 35 each Regent Warrant are subject to adjustment in certain events described below. Each Regent Warrant may be exercised until 5:00 pm., Eastern Time, on February 27, 2002 (the "Regent Expiration Date") in accordance with the terms of the Regent Warrants and the Regent Warrant Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if any of the Regent Warrants are called for redemption by Jacor, at a price per Regent Warrant equal to $12.00 multiplied by the Fraction, as adjusted from time to time under the terms of the Regent Warrant Agreement, on or after February 27, 2000, the right to so redeem the Regent Warrants shall expire at the close of business, New York time, on such redemption date. To the extent that any Regent Warrant remains outstanding after such time, such unexercised Regent Warrant will automatically terminate. Regent Warrants may be exercised by surrendering to the warrant agent a signed Regent Warrant certificate together with the form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof indicating the warrant holder's election to exercise all or a portion of the Regent Warrants evidenced by such certificate. Surrendered certificates must be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Regent Price in respect of the Regent Warrants to be exercised, which payment may be made in cash or by certified or bank cashier's check drawn on a banking institution chartered by the government of the United States or any state thereof payable to the order of Jacor. No adjustments as to cash dividends with respect to the Jacor Common Stock will be made upon any exercise of Regent Warrants. If fewer than all the Regent Warrants evidenced by any certificate are exercised, the warrant agent will deliver to the exercising warrant holder a new Regent Warrant certificate representing the unexercised Regent Warrants. Jacor will not be required to issue fractional shares of Jacor Common Stock upon exercise of any Regent Warrant and in lieu thereof will pay in cash an amount equal to the same fraction of the closing price per share of Jacor Common Stock, determined as provided in the Regent Warrant Agreement. Jacor has reserved for issuance a number of shares of Jacor Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Regent Warrants. A Regent Warrant may not be exercised in whole or in part if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to Jacor the issuance of Jacor Common Stock upon such exercise would cause Jacor to be in violation of the Communications Act or the rules and regulations in effect thereunder. The number of shares of Jacor Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Regent Warrant and the Regent Price are subject to adjustment in connection with (i) the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of Jacor Common Stock, a combination or subdivision or issuance by reclassification of Jacor Common Stock; (ii) the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Jacor Common Stock without charge to such holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Jacor Common Stock at a price per share which is lower than the current market price; and (iii) certain distributions by Jacor to the holders of Jacor Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness or of its assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions pursuant to an announced policy of Jacor payable out of earnings or out of surplus legally available for dividends) or of convertible securities, all as set forth in the Regent Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Regent Warrants will be required until such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Regent Warrant. In addition, Jacor may at its option reduce the Regent Price to any amount deemed appropriate by the Jacor Board of Directors. In case of any consolidation or merger of Jacor with or into another corporation, or any sale, transfer or lease to another corporation of all or substantially all the property of Jacor, the Regent Warrant Agreement requires that effective provisions be made so that each holder of an outstanding Regent Warrant will have the right thereafter to exercise the Regent Warrant for the kind and amount of securities and property receivable in connection with such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock for which such Regent Warrant were exercisable immediately prior thereto. The Regent Warrant Agreement may be amended or supplemented without the consent of the holders of Regent Warrants to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision contained therein, or to make such other necessary or desirable changes which shall not adversely affect the interests of the warrant holders. Any other amendment to the Regent Warrant Agreement shall require the consent of warrant holders representing not less than 50% of the Regent Warrants then outstanding 36 provided that no change in the number or nature of the securities purchasable upon the exercise of any Regent Warrant, or the Regent Price therefor, or the acceleration of the Regent Expiration Date, and no change in the antidilution provisions which would adversely affect the interests of the holders of Regent Warrants, shall be made without the consent of the holder of such Regent Warrant, other than such changes as are specifically prescribed by the Regent Warrant Agreement or are made in compliance with applicable law. No holder of Regent Warrants is entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of Jacor Common Stock until the Regent Warrants are properly exercised as provided in the Regent Warrant Agreement. DELAWARE ANTITAKEOVER STATUTE Jacor is subject to the "business combination" statute of the Delaware General Corporation Law (Section 203). In general, such statute prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in various "business combination" transactions with any "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an "interested stockholder," unless (i) such transaction is approved by the Board of Directors prior to the date the "interested stockholder" obtains such status, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction the interested stockholder beneficially owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by (a) persons who are directors and also officers and (b) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer, or (iii) the "business combination" is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the "interested stockholder." A "business combination" includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to an "interested stockholder." An "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years, did own) 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts with respect to Jacor and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire Jacor.

DESCRIPTION OF INDEBTEDNESS The summaries contained herein of certain of the indebtedness of Jacor and JCC do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of the various agreements and indentures related thereto, which are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part and to which reference is hereby made. THE CREDIT FACILITY JCC entered into its existing credit facility on June 12, 1996, as amended and restated on February 14, 1997, (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions. The Credit Facility provides availability of up to $750.0 million of loans to JCC in three components: (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $450.0 million with mandatory semi-annual commitment reductions beginning June 12, 1999 and a final maturity date of June 12, 2003; (ii) a term loan of $200.0 million with scheduled semi-annual reductions beginning December 12, 1997 and a final maturity date of June 12, 2003; and (iii) a tranche B term loan of $100.0 million with scheduled semi-annual reductions beginning December 12, 1998 and a final maturity date no later than June 12, 2004. The Credit Facility bears interest at a rate that fluctuates with a bank base rate and/or the Eurodollar rate per annum. The loans under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of Jacor's direct and indirect subsidiaries other than certain immaterial subsidiaries. Jacor's obligations with respect to the Credit Facility and each 37 guarantor's obligations with respect to the related guaranty are secured by substantially all of their respective assets, including, without limitation, inventory, equipment, accounts receivable, intercompany debt and, in the case of Jacor's subsidiaries, capital stock. JCC's obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on the capital stock of the Jacor's and JCC's subsidiaries and by the guarantee of JCC's parent, Jacor. The Credit Facility contains covenants and provisions that restrict, among other things, JCC's ability to: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens on its property; (iii) make investments and advances; (iv) enter into guarantees and other contingent obligations; (v) merge or consolidate with or acquire another person or engage in other fundamental changes; (vi) engage in certain sales of assets; (vii) make capital expenditures; (viii) enter into leases; (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (x) make restricted junior payments. The Credit Facility also requires the satisfaction of certain financial performance criteria (including a consolidated interest coverage ratio, a leverage-to-operating cash flow ratio and a consolidated operating cash flow available for fixed charges ratio) and the repayment of loans under the Credit Facility with proceeds of certain sales of assets and debt issuances, and with 50% of JCC's Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Facility). Events of default under the Credit Facility include various events of default customary for such type of agreement, such as failure to pay scheduled payments when due, cross defaults on other indebtedness, change of control events under other indebtedness (including the LYONs, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes) and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. In addition, the Credit Facility includes events of default for JCC and the cessation of any lien on any of the collateral under the Credit Facility as a perfected first priority lien and the failure of Zell/Chilmark appointees to represent at least 30% of the Jacor Board of Directors. For purposes of the Credit Facility, a change of control includes the occurrence of any event that triggers a change of control under the LYONs, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes. Such change of control under the Credit Facility would constitute an event of default which would give the syndicate the right to accelerate the unpaid principal amounts due under the Credit Facility. Upon such acceleration, there is no assurance that JCC will have funds available to fund such repayment or that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to JCC. THE 1996 10 1/8% NOTES In June 1996, JCAC, Inc. (a predecessor to JCC) conducted an offering (the "1996 10 1/8% Notes Offering") whereby JCAC, Inc. issued and sold 10 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "1996 10 1/8% Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. The 1996 10 1/8% Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture between JCAC, Inc. and First Trust of Illinois, National Association, as Trustee (the "1996 10 1/8% Note Indenture"). JCAC, Inc. then lent the net proceeds of the 1996 10 1/8% Notes Offering to Jacor. The 1996 10 1/8% Notes have interest payment dates of June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 1996, and mature on June 15, 2006. The 1996 10 1/8% Note Indenture contains certain covenants which impose certain limitations and restrictions on the ability of Jacor to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, make certain loans and investments, apply the proceeds of asset sales (and use the proceeds thereof), create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all its assets and make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries. If a change of control occurs, JCC will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding 1996 10 1/8% Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. There can be no assurance that JCC will have sufficient funds to purchase all of the 1996 10 1/8% Notes in the event of a change of control offer or that JCC would be able to obtain financing for such purpose on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, the Credit Facility restricts JCC's ability to repurchase the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, including pursuant to a change of control offer. Furthermore, a change of control under the 1996 10 1/8% Note Indenture will result in a default under the Credit Facility. As used herein, a "Change of Control" will mean (i) any merger or consolidation of JCC with or into any person or any sale, transfer or other conveyance, whether direct or indirect, of all or substantially all of 38 any of the assets of JCC, on a consolidated basis, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, if, immediately after giving effect to such transaction(s), any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable) (other than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in the aggregate normally entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers, or trustees, as applicable, of the transferee(s) or surviving entity or entities, (ii) any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable) (other than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in the aggregate of all classes of Capital Stock of JCC then outstanding normally entitled to vote in elections of directors, or (iii) during any period of 12 consecutive months after the Issue Date, individuals who at the beginning of any such 12-month period constituted the Board of Directors of JCC (together with any new directors whose election by such Board or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of JCC was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of JCC then in office. The events of default under the 1996 10 1/8% Note Indenture include various events of default customary for such type of agreement, including the failure to pay principal and interest when due on the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, cross defaults on other indebtedness for borrowed monies in excess of $5.0 million (which indebtedness would therefore include the Credit Facility, the LYONs and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes) and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. THE LIQUID YIELD OPTION-TM- NOTES Also in June 1996, Jacor conducted an offering (the "LYONs Offering") whereby Jacor issued and sold Senior Liquid Yield Option-TM- Notes due June 12, 2011 (the "LYONs") in the aggregate principal amount at maturity of $259.9 million. Each LYON had an Issue Price of $443.14 and a principal amount at maturity of $1,000. The LYONs were issued pursuant to an Indenture between Jacor and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the "LYONs Indenture"). Each LYON is convertible, at the option of the Holder, at any time on or prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed or otherwise purchased, into Jacor Common Stock at a conversion rate of 13.412 shares per LYON. The conversion rate will not be adjusted for accrued original issue discount, but will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the Jacor Common Stock. Upon conversion, the Holder will not receive any cash payment representing accrued original issue discount; such accrued original issue discount will be deemed paid by the Jacor Common Stock received by the Holder on conversion. The LYONs are not redeemable by Jacor prior to June 12, 2001. Thereafter, the LYONs are redeemable for cash at any time at the option of Jacor, in whole or in part, at redemption prices equal to the issue price plus accrued original issue discount to the date of redemption. The LYONs will be purchased by Jacor, at the option of the Holder, on June 12, 2001 and June 12, 2006, for a Purchase Price of $581.25 and $762.39 (representing issue price plus accrued original issue discount to each date), respectively, representing a 5.50% yield per annum to the Holder on such date, computed on a semiannual bond equivalent basis. Jacor, at its option, may elect to pay the purchase price on any such purchase date in cash or Jacor Common Stock, or any combination thereof. In addition, as of 35 business days after the occurrence of a change in control of Jacor occurring on or prior to June 12, 2001, each LYON will be purchased for cash, by Jacor, at the option of the Holder, for a change in control purchase price equal to the issue price plus accrued original issue discount to the change in control purchase date set for such purchase. The change in control purchase feature of the LYONs may in certain circumstances have an antitakeover effect. Under the LYONs Indenture, a "Change in Control" of Jacor is deemed to have occurred at such time as (i) any person (as the term "person" is used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) other than Zell/Chilmark, Jacor, any Subsidiary of Jacor, or any employee benefit plan of either Jacor or any Subsidiary of Jacor, files a Schedule 13D or 14D-1 under the Exchange Act (or any successor schedule, form or report) disclosing that such person has become the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the Jacor Common Stock or other capital stock of Jacor into which such Jacor Common Stock is reclassified or 39 changed, with certain exceptions, or (ii) there shall be consummated any consolidation or merger of Jacor (a) in which Jacor is not the continuing or surviving corporation or (b) pursuant to which the Jacor Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, in each case, other than a consolidation or merger of Jacor in which the holders of Jacor Common Stock immediately prior to the consolidation or merger own, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of Jacor Common Stock of the continuing or surviving corporation immediately after the consolidation or merger. A Change of Control under the LYONs Indenture constitutes an event of default under the Credit Facility. See "-- The Credit Facility." The LYONs Indenture includes various events of default customary for such type of agreement, such as cross defaults on other indebtedness for borrowed monies in excess of $10.0 million (which indebtedness would therefore include the Credit Facility, the 1996 9 3/4% Notes and the 1996 10 1/8% Notes) and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. THE 1996 9 3/4% NOTES In December 1996, JCC conducted an offering (the "1996 9 3/4% Notes Offering") whereby JCC issued and sold 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "1996 9 3/4% Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of $170.0 million. The 1996 9 3/4% Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture between JCC and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the "1996 9 3/4% Note Indenture"). JCC then lent the net proceeds of the 1996 9 3/4% Notes Offering to Jacor. The 1996 9 3/4% Notes have interest payment dates of June 15 and December 15, commencing on June 15, 1997, and mature on December 15, 2006. The 1996 9 3/4% Note Indenture contains certain covenants which impose certain limitations and restrictions on the ability of Jacor to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, make certain loans and investments, apply the proceeds of asset sales (and use the proceeds thereof), create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all its assets and make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries. If a change of control occurs, JCC will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding 1996 9 3/4% Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. There can be no assurance that JCC will have sufficient funds to purchase all of the 1996 9 3/4% Notes in the event of a change of control offer or that JCC would be able to obtain financing for such purpose on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, the Credit Facility restricts JCC's ability to repurchase the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, including pursuant to a change of control offer. Furthermore, a change of control under the 1996 9 3/4% Note Indenture will result in a default under the Credit Facility. As used herein, a "Change of Control" will mean (i) any merger or consolidation of JCC with or into any person or any sale, transfer or other conveyance, whether direct or indirect, of all or substantially all of any of the assets of JCC, on a consolidated basis, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, if, immediately after giving effect to such transaction(s), any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable) (other than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in the aggregate normally entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers, or trustees, as applicable, of the transferee(s) or surviving entity or entities, (ii) any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable) (other than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in the aggregate of all classes of Capital Stock of JCC then outstanding normally entitled to vote in elections of directors, or (iii) during any period of 12 consecutive months after the Issue Date, individuals who at the beginning of any such 12-month period constituted the Board of Directors of JCC (together with any new directors whose election by such Board or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of JCC was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of JCC then in office. The events of default under the 1996 9 3/4% Note Indenture include various events of default customary for such type of agreement, including the failure to pay principal and interest when due on the 1996 9 3/4% 40 Notes, cross defaults on other indebtedness for borrowed monies in excess of $5.0 million (which indebtedness would therefore include the Credit Facility, the LYONs and the 1996 10 1/8% Notes) and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. 41 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Jacor and/or JCC may sell the Securities to one or more underwriters for public offering and sale in the United States or Canada by them or may sell the Securities to investors directly or through agents. Any such underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of Securities will be named in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Jacor and JCC have reserved the right to sell Securities directly to investors on its own behalf in those jurisdictions where and in such manner as it is authorized to do so. Underwriters may offer and sell Securities at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. Jacor and/or JCC also may, from time to time, authorize dealers, acting as Jacor's agents, to offer and sell Securities upon the terms and conditions as are set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. In connection with the sale of Securities, underwriters may receive compensation from Jacor and/or JCC in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the Securities for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell Securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent. Any underwriting compensation paid by Jacor and/or JCC to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of Securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of Securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with Jacor and/or JCC, to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If so indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, Jacor and/or JCC will authorize dealers acting as Jacor's and/or JCC's agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase the Securities from Jacor and/or JCC at the public offering price set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts ("Contracts") providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in such Prospectus Supplement. Each Contract will be for an amount not less than the amounts stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Institutions with whom Contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions, and other institutions but will in all cases be subject to the approval of Jacor and/or JCC. Contracts will not be subject to any conditions except (i) the purchase by the institution of the Securities covered by its Contract shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which such institution is subject, and (ii) if the Securities are being sold to underwriters, Jacor and/or JCC shall have sold to such underwriters the total amount specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. A commission indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement will be paid to underwriters and agents soliciting purchases of Securities pursuant to Contracts accepted by Jacor and/or JCC. The rules of the Commission generally prohibit underwriters and other members of the selling group from making a market in Jacor Common Stock during the "cooling off" period immediately preceding the commencement of sales in the offering. The Commission has, however, adopted an exemption from these rules that permits passive market making under certain conditions. These rules permit an underwriter or other member of the selling group to continue to make a market in Jacor Common Stock subject to the conditions, among others, that its bid not exceed the highest bid by a market maker not connected with the offering and that its net purchases on any one trading day not exceed prescribed limits. Pursuant to these exemptions, certain underwriters and other members of the selling group may engage in passive market making in Jacor Common Stock during the cooling off period. 42 VALIDITY OF SECURITIES Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to the Securities, the validity of the Securities offered hereby will be passed upon for Jacor, JCC and the Subsidiary Guarantors by Graydon, Head & Ritchey, Cincinnati, Ohio.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS Jacor, being incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, is empowered by Section 145 of such law ("Statute"), subject to the procedures and limitations stated in the Statute, to indemnify any person ("Indemnitee") against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to which an Indemnitee is made a party or threatened to be made a party by reason of the Indemnitee's being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of Jacor or a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of Jacor. The Statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Statute also provides that Jacor may purchase insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent. Article Sixth of Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions permitted by Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware which eliminate personal liability of members of its board of directors for violations of their fiduciary duty of care. Neither the Delaware General Corporation Law nor the Certificate of Incorporation, however, limits the liability of a director for breaching such director's duty of loyalty, failing to act in good faith, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law, paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase under circumstances where such payment or repurchase is not permitted under the Statute, or obtaining an improper personal benefit. Article 8 of Jacor's Bylaws provides that Jacor is obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee in each and every situation where Jacor is obligated to make such indemnification pursuant to the Statute. Jacor must also indemnify an Indemnitee in each and every situation where, under the Statute, Jacor is not obligated but is nevertheless permitted or empowered to make such indemnification. However, before making such indemnification with respect to any situation covered by the preceding sentence, (i) Jacor shall promptly make or cause to be made, by any of the methods referred to in subsection (d) of the Statute, a determination as to whether the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Jacor, and, in the case of any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful and (ii) no such indemnification shall be made unless it is determined that such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Jacor, and, in the case of any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. II-1 Pursuant to authority contained in its Bylaws, Jacor maintains in force a standard directors' and officers' liability insurance policy providing coverage of $10,000,000 against liability incurred by any director or officer in his or her capacity as such. ITEM 16. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES See Index to Exhibits. ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act. (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement. (iii) To include any material information with respect to the Plan of Distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by Jacor pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Jacor's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-2 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 Registration Statement No. 333-19291 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Covington, Commonwealth of Kentucky, on this 18th day of April, 1997.

If no Global Securities are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Global Security in the appropriate principal amount.

(ii) Definitive Securities issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Security pursuant to this Section 3.7(d) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Registrar.

(f) AUTHENTICATION OF DEFINITIVE SECURITIES IN ABSENCE OF DEPOSITARY. If at any time: (i) the Depositary for the Securities notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Securities and a successor Depositary for the Global Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such notice; or (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee and the Registrar in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of definitive Securities under this Indenture, 35 then the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate requesting the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities, will, or its authenticating agent will, authenticate and deliver definitive Securities, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Securities, in exchange for such Global Securities. (g) CANCELLATION AND/OR ADJUSTMENT OF GLOBAL SECURITY. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Security have either been exchanged for definitive Securities, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Security shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Registrar. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for definitive Securities, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security, by the Registrar or the Securities Custodian, at the direction of the Registrar, to reflect such reduction.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee or any authenticating agent of the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and Global Securities at the Registrar's request. (ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges or transfers pursuant to Section 3.11, 4.7, 5.14(8), 10.5, or 11.1 (final paragraph)). (iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange (a) any definitive Security selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article IV, except the unredeemed portion of any definitive Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Security for a period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase pursuant to Article XI or Section 5.14 hereof or redemption of Securities pursuant to Article IV hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing. SECTION 3.8. REPLACEMENT SECURITIES. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims and submits an affidavit or other evidence, satisfactory to the Registrar, to the Registrar to the effect that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee or any authenticating agent of the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Registrar's requirements are met. If required by the Trustee, the Registrar or the Company, such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of both the 36 Company and the Registrar, to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. In the case of any lost Security that will become due and payable within 30 days, the Company can choose to pay such Security rather than replacing such Security. The Company may charge such Holder for its reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Security. Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company. SECTION 3.9. OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee (including any Security represented by a Global Security) except those canceled by the Registrar, those delivered to the Registrar for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Registrar hereunder, those paid pursuant to Section 3.8 and those described in this Section 3.9 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security, except as provided in Section 3.10. If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 3.8 (other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Registrar receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a BONA FIDE purchaser. A mutilated Security ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 3.8. If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds Cash or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest and premium, if any, due on the Securities payable on that date and payment of the Securities called for redemption is not otherwise prohibited, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. SECTION 3.10. TREASURY SECURITIES. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or Affiliates of the Company shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded. SECTION 3.11. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company reasonably and in good faith 37 consider appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate, authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as permanent Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder. SECTION 3.12. CANCELLATION. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Registrar for cancellation. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Registrar any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Registrar, or at the direction of the Registrar, the Trustee or the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company), and no one else, shall cancel and, return to the Company all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. Subject to Section 3.8, the Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that have been paid or delivered to the Registrar for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section 3.12, except as expressly permitted in the form of Securities and as permitted by this Indenture. SECTION 3.13. DEFAULTED INTEREST. Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date plus, to the extent lawful, any interest payable on the defaulted interest at the rate and in the manner provided in Section 5.1 hereof and the Security (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the persons in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of Cash equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such Cash when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause (1). Thereupon the Paying Agent shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Paying Agent of the notice of the proposed payment. The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Trustee of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special 38 Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the Security register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee and the Paying Agent of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee and the Paying Agent. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. SECTION 3.14. CUSIP NUMBERS. The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; PROVIDED that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. ARTICLE IV REDEMPTION SECTION 4.1. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. SECTION 4.2. NOTICES TO TRUSTEE AND PAYING AGENT. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of the 39 Redemption Date and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and whether it wants the Paying Agent to give notice of redemption to the Holders. If the Company elects to reduce the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed by crediting against any such redemption Securities it has not previously delivered to the Trustee and the Paying Agent for cancellation, it shall so notify the Trustee, in the form of an Officers' Certificate, and the Paying Agent of the amount of the reduction and deliver such Securities with such notice. The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent provided for in this Section 4.2 at least 45 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Paying Agent). Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. SECTION 4.3. SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED. If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall determine to be appropriate and fair. The Trustee shall make the selection from the Securities outstanding and not previously called for redemption and shall promptly notify the Company and the Paying Agent in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Securities in denominations of $1,000 may be redeemed only in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. SECTION 4.4. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed. At the Company's request, the Paying Agent shall give the notice of redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's expense. Each notice for redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the Redemption Price, including the amount of accrued and unpaid interest to be paid upon such redemption; 40 (3) the name, address and telephone number of the Paying Agent; (4) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent at the address specified in such notice to collect the Redemption Price; (5) that, unless the Company defaults in its obligation to deposit with the Paying Agent Cash, or U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, Cash in an amount to fund the Redemption Price, in accordance with Section 4.6 hereof or such redemption payment is otherwise prohibited, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment of the Redemption Price, including accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities called for redemption and to be redeemed; (6) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount, equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof, of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, and upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued; (7) if less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be outstanding after such partial redemption; (8) the CUSIP number of the Securities to be redeemed; and (9) that the notice is being sent pursuant to this Section 4.4. SECTION 4.5. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 4.4, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price, including accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price, including interest, if any, accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED that if the Redemption Date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Record Date relates, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Securities registered on the relevant Record Date; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if a Redemption Date is a non-Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day. 41 SECTION 4.6. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. On or prior to the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) Cash or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, including accrued and unpaid interest on, all Securities to be redeemed on such Redemption Date (other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date that have been delivered by the Company to the Registrar for cancellation). The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any Cash or U.S. Government Obligations so deposited which is not required for that purpose upon the written request of the Company. If the Company complies with the preceding paragraph and the other provisions of this Article and payment of the Securities called for redemption is not otherwise prohibited, interest on the Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Securities are presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Security surrendered for redemption in the manner provided in the Securities shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall continue to accrue and be paid from the Redemption Date until such payment is made on the unpaid principal, and, to the extent lawful, on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in Section 5.1 hereof and the Security. SECTION 4.7. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. Upon surrender of a Security that is to be redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, without service charge to the Holder, a new Security or Securities equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered. ARTICLE V COVENANTS SECTION 5.1. PAYMENT OF SECURITIES. The Company shall pay the principal of and interest and premium, if applicable, on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided herein and in the Securities. An installment of principal of or interest and premium, if applicable, on the Securities shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds for the benefit of the Holders, on or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on that date, Cash deposited and designated for and sufficient to pay the installment. 42 The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue installments of interest at the rate specified in the Securities compounded semi-annually, to the extent lawful. SECTION 5.2. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee and the Paying Agent with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 14.2. The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The Company hereby initially designates the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent as such office. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company must, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, maintain an office or agency located outside of the United States where Securities of that series and related coupons, if any, may be presented and surrendered for payment. The Company must maintain such office or agency in addition to maintaining an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. SECTION 5.3. LIMITATION ON RESTRICTED PAYMENTS. On and after the Issue Date the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment, if, after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a PRO FORMA basis, (1) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (2) the Company is not permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio in Section 5.11, or (3) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Subsidiaries, including after giving effect to such proposed Restricted Payment, from and after the Issue Date, would exceed the amount set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The foregoing clauses (2) and (3) of the immediately preceding paragraph, however, will not prohibit (w) payments to the Parent Guarantor to reimburse the Parent Guarantor for 43 reasonable and necessary corporate and administrative expenses, (x) Restricted Investments, PROVIDED, that, after giving PRO FORMA effect to such Restricted Investment, the aggregate amount of all such Restricted Investments made on or after the Issue Date that are outstanding (after giving effect to any such Restricted Investments that are returned to the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor that made such prior Restricted Investment, without restriction, in cash on or prior to the date of any such calculation) at any time does not exceed the amount set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, (y) a Qualified Exchange and (z) the payment of any dividend on Qualified Capital Stock within 60 days after the date of its declaration if such dividend could have been made on the date of such declaration in compliance with the foregoing provisions. The full amount of any Restricted Payment made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (x) and (z) of the immediately preceding sentence, however, will be deducted in the calculation of the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments available to be made pursuant to clause (3) of the immediately preceding paragraph. SECTION 5.4. CORPORATE EXISTENCE. Subject to Article VI, the Company and the Guarantors shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect their respective corporate existence in accordance with the respective organizational documents of each of them (as the same may be amended from time to time) and the rights (charter and statutory) and corporate franchises of the Company and the Guarantors; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, nothing in this Section will prohibit the Company or any Guarantor from engaging in any transaction permitted under Section 12.4 or Section 12.5 hereof and PROVIDED FURTHER that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to preserve any right or franchise if (a) the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of such entity and (b) the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. SECTION 5.5. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS. Except with respect to immaterial items, the Company and the Guarantors shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges (including withholding taxes and any penalties, interest and additions to taxes) levied or imposed upon the Company and the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties and assets; and (ii) all lawful claims, whether for labor, materials, supplies, services or anything else, which have become due and payable and which by law have or may become a Lien upon the property and assets of the Company and the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors shall be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which disputed amounts adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. 44 SECTION 5.6. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES AND INSURANCE. The Company and the Guarantors shall cause all material properties used or useful to the conduct of their business and the business of each of their Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (reasonable wear and tear excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in their reasonable judgment may be necessary, so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section 5.6 shall prevent the Company or any Guarantor from discontinuing any operation or maintenance of any of such properties, or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is (a), in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of such entity and (b) not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. The Company and the Guarantors shall provide, or cause to be provided, for themselves and each of their Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds that, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Company is adequate and appropriate for the conduct of the business of the Company, the Guarantors and such Subsidiaries. SECTION 5.7. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE; NOTICE OF DEFAULT. (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of its fiscal year an Officers' Certificate, one of the signers of which shall be the principal executive, principal financial or principal accounting officer of the Company, complying with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA and stating that a review of its activities and the activities of its Subsidiaries, if any, during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, whether or not the signer knows of any failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with any conditions or covenants in this Indenture and, if such signer does know of such a failure to comply, the certificate shall describe such failure with particularity. The Officers' Certificate shall also notify the Trustee should the relevant fiscal year end on any date other than the current fiscal year end date. (b) The Company shall, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers' Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or any Event of Default unless one of its Trust Officers receives written notice thereof from the Company or any of the Holders. 45 SECTION 5.8. REPORTS. For so long as the Parent Guarantor or any successor thereto is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the Company is a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, and to each Holder, the Parent Guarantor's annual and quarterly reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, within 15 days after such reports have been filed with the Commission; PROVIDED, HOWEVER; in the event either (i) the Parent Guarantor or a successor as set forth above is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or (ii) the Company is no longer a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or a successor as set forth above, then whether or not the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and, to each Holder, within 15 days after it is or would have been (if it were subject to such reporting obligations) required to file such with the Commission, annual and quarterly financial statements substantially equivalent to financial statements that would have been included in reports filed with the Commission, if the Company were subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, including, with respect to annual information only, a report thereon by the Company's certified independent accountants as such would be required in such reports to the Commission, and, in each case, together with a management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations which would be so required and, to the extent permitted by the Exchange Act or the Commission (if it were subject to such reporting obligations), file with the Commission the annual, quarterly and other reports which it is or would have been required to file with the Commission. SECTION 5.9. LIMITATION ON STATUS AS INVESTMENT COMPANY. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall become an "investment company" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), or otherwise become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. SECTION 5.10. LIMITATION ON TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. After the Issue Date, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction with any Affiliate (an "Affiliate Transaction") or any series of related Affiliate Transactions (other than Exempted Affiliate Transactions) (i) unless it is determined that the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are fair and reasonable to the Company, and no less favorable to the Company than could have been obtained in an arm's length transaction with a non-Affiliate and, (ii) if involving consideration to either party in excess of the amount set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless such Affiliate Transaction(s) is evidenced by (A) an Officers' Certificate addressed and delivered to the Trustee certifying that such Affiliate Transaction(s) has been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are disinterested in such transaction or, (B) in the event there are no members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are disinterested in such transaction, then so long as the Company is a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor, an 46 Officers' Certificate addressed and delivered to the Trustee certifying that such Affiliate Transaction(s) has been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor who are disinterested in such transaction and (iii) if involving consideration to either party in excess of the amount set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless in addition the Company, prior to the consummation thereof, obtains a written favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction to the Company from a financial point of view from an independent investment banking firm of national reputation. SECTION 5.11. LIMITATION ON INCURRENCE OF ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS AND DISQUALIFIED CAPITAL STOCK. Except as set forth below, neither the Company nor any of the Company's Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, issue, assume, guarantee, incur, become directly or indirectly liable with respect to (including as a result of an Acquisition), or otherwise become responsible for, contingently or otherwise (individually and collectively, to "incur" or, as appropriate, an "incurrence"), any Indebtedness or any Disqualified Capital Stock (including Acquired Indebtedness) other than Permitted Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, the Company may incur Indebtedness and Disqualified Capital Stock in addition to Permitted Indebtedness: if (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur after giving effect on a PRO FORMA basis to, such incurrence of Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock and (ii) on the date of such incurrence (the "Incurrence Date"), the Leverage Ratio of the Company for the Reference Period immediately preceding the Incurrence Date, after giving effect on a PRO FORMA basis to such incurrence of such Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock and, to the extent set forth in the definition of Leverage Ratio, the use of proceeds thereof, would be less than ____ to ____.

SECTION 5.12. LIMITATIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING SUBSIDIARIES. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall permit any of their Subsidiaries to create, assume or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the ability of any Subsidiary of the Company to pay dividends or make other distributions to or on behalf of, or to pay any obligation to or on behalf of, or otherwise to transfer assets or property to or on behalf of, or make or pay loans or advances to or on behalf of, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, except (a) restrictions imposed by the Securities or the Indenture, (b) restrictions imposed by applicable law, (c) existing restrictions under specified Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date, (d) restrictions 47 under any Acquired Indebtedness not incurred in violation of the Indenture or any agreement relating to any property, asset, or business acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which restrictions in each case existed at the time of acquisition, were not put in place in connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition and are not applicable to any person, other than the person acquired, or to any property, asset or business, other than the property, assets and business so acquired, (e) any such restriction or requirement imposed by Indebtedness incurred under paragraph (f) under the definition of Permitted Indebtedness, provided such restriction or requirement is no more restrictive than that imposed by the Credit Facility or other then-existing credit facilities of the Company as of the Issue Date, (f) restrictions with respect solely to a Subsidiary of the Company imposed pursuant to a binding agreement which has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or assets of such Subsidiary, provided such restrictions apply solely to the Equity Interests or assets of such Subsidiary which are being sold, and (g) in connection with and pursuant to permitted Refinancings, replacements of restrictions imposed pursuant to clauses (a), (c) or (d) of this paragraph that are not more restrictive than those being replaced and do not apply to any other person or assets than those that would have been covered by the restrictions in the Indebtedness so refinanced.

SECTION 5.13. LIMITATIONS ON LAYERING INDEBTEDNESS; LIENS. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur, or, other than with respect to the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, suffer to exist (a) any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor unless, by its terms, such Indebtedness (i) has a maturity date subsequent to the Stated Maturity of the Securities and an Average Life longer than that of the Securities and (ii) is subordinate in right of payment to, or ranks PARI PASSU with, the Securities or the Guarantees, as applicable, or (b) other than Permitted Liens, any Lien upon any of properties or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or upon any income or profits therefrom securing Indebtedness other than (1) Liens securing Senior Debt incurred pursuant to the Leverage Ratio in accordance with Section 5.11 and (2) Liens securing Senior Debt incurred as permitted pursuant to the definition of Permitted Indebtedness.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the first paragraph of this covenant, with respect to an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall not commence an Asset Sale Offer for the Securities until such time as an Asset Sale Offer for the 1994 9 3/4% Notes, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes in each case if required, has been completed. To the extent that any Excess Proceeds (as defined below) remain after expiration of an Asset Sale Offer Period for the 1994 9 3/4% Notes, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, the Company may use the remaining Net Cash Proceeds, to the extent Excess Proceeds exceeds $5,000,000, to commence an Asset Sale Offer for the Securities; PROVIDED, that the amount of Net Cash Proceeds used for such Asset Sale Offer for the Securities shall not exceed the Citicasters Asset Sale Repurchase Amount and with respect to the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, the amount required under the covenant 49 Limitation on Sale of Assets and Subsidiary Stock as set forth in the governing indenture; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect to the 1994 9 3/4% Notes this paragraph shall be of no further force and effect upon a 1994 9 3/4% Note Event and with respect to the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes this paragraph shall be of no further force and effect upon the earlier of (w) the maturity of the 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, as applicable, (x) the date upon which defeasance of the 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, as applicable, becomes effective, (y) the date on which there are no longer any 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, as applicable, outstanding under the terms of the governing indenture and (z) the date on which the Limitation on Sale of Assets and Subsidiary Stock covenant no longer applies in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, as applicable. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the first paragraph of this covenant: (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries may convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of assets pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1; (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries may sell or dispose of inventory or damaged, worn out or other obsolete property in the ordinary course of business so long as such property is no longer necessary for the proper conduct of the business of the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable; and (iii) any of the Company's Subsidiaries may convey, sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of assets to, or merge with or into, the Company or any of its Wholly owned Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company shall accumulate all Net Cash Proceeds (including any cash as and when received from the proceeds of any property which itself was acquired in consideration of an Asset Sale), and the aggregate amount of such accumulated Net Cash Proceeds not used for the purposes permitted and within the time provided by this Section 5.14 is referred to as the "Excess Proceeds." For purposes of this Section 5.14, "Excess Proceeds Date" means each date on which the Excess Proceeds exceeds $_________. Not later than ten Business Days after each Excess Proceeds Date, the Company will commence an Asset Sale Offer, to the Holders to purchase, on a PRO RATA basis, for Cash, Securities having a principal amount equal to the Excess Proceeds Amount at the Asset Sale Offer Price, equal to 100% of principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, and including, the date (the "Purchase Date"), the Securities tendered are purchased and paid for in accordance with this Section 5.14. The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for twenty Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law, but in any case not more than sixty Business Days after such Excess Proceeds Date. Notice of an Asset Sale Offer will be sent on or before the commencement of any Asset Sale Offer, by first-class mail, by the Company 50 to each Holder at its registered address, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice to the Holders will contain all information, instructions and materials required by applicable law or otherwise material to such Holders' decision to tender Securities pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which (to the extent consistent with this Indenture) shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state: (1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to such notice and this Section 5.14; (2) the Asset Sale Offer Amount, the Asset Sale Offer Price (including the amount of accrued and unpaid interest), the Final Put Date (as defined below), and the Purchase Date, which Purchase Date shall be on or prior to 60 Business Days following the Excess Proceeds Date; (3) that any Security or portion thereof not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in depositing Cash with the Paying Agent in accordance with the immediately following paragraph of this Section 5.14 or such payment is otherwise prevented, any Security, or portion thereof, accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; (5) that Holders electing to have a Security, or portion thereof, purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender the Security, with any forms required by the Company completed, to the Paying Agent (which may not for purposes of this Section 5.14, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, be the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the earlier of (a) the third Business Day prior to the Purchase Date and (b) the third Business Day following the expiration of the Asset Sale Offer (such earlier date being the "Final Put Date"); (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their elections, in whole or in part, if the Paying Agent (which may not for purposes of this Section 5.14, notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, be the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) receives, up to the close of business on the Final Put Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities the Holder is withdrawing and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such principal amount of Securities purchased; (7) that if Securities in a principal amount in excess of the principal amount of Securities to be acquired pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer are tendered and not withdrawn, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be purchased on a PRO RATA basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Securities in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 shall be acquired); 51 (8) that Holders whose Securities were purchased only in part will be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered; and (9) a brief description of the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Asset Sales. On or before a Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment Securities or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer on or before the Final Put Date (on a PRO RATA basis if required pursuant to paragraph (7) of this Section 5.14), (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent Cash sufficient to pay the Asset Sale Offer Price for all Securities or portions thereof so tendered and accepted and (iii) deliver to the Paying Agent Securities so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall on each Purchase Date mail or deliver to Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the Asset Sale Offer Price for such Securities, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered; PROVIDED that if the Purchase Date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Record Date relates, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the purchased Securities registered on the relevant Record Date. Any Security not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. All Net Cash Proceeds from an Event of Loss shall be applied to the restoration, repair or replacement of the asset so affected or invested, used for prepayment of Senior Debt, or used to repurchase Securities, all within the period and as otherwise provided above in clauses 1(a), 1(b) or 1(c) of the first paragraph of this covenant. In addition to the foregoing, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly make any Asset Sale of any of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary except pursuant to an Asset Sale of all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary. Any such Asset Sale Offer shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and all other applicable Federal and State securities laws, if applicable, and any provisions of this Indenture that conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. If the amount required to be paid by the Company in order to acquire all Securities duly tendered by Holders (and not withdrawn) pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer (the "Acceptance Amount"), made pursuant to the second paragraph of this Section 5.14 is less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount, the excess of the Asset Sale Offer Amount over the Acceptance Amount may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes without restriction, unless otherwise restricted by the other provisions of this Indenture. Upon consummation of any Asset Sale Offer made in accor- 52 dance with the terms of this Indenture, the Accumulated Amount will be reduced to zero irrespective of the amount of Securities tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of clause (1)(b) in the first paragraph of this Section 5.14, the Company may invest in a controlling interest in the Capital Stock of an entity engaged in a Related Business; PROVIDED, that concurrently with such an Investment, such entity becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor. SECTION 5.15. LIMITATION ON ASSET SWAPS. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, in one or a series of related transactions, directly or indirectly, engage in any Asset Swaps, unless: (i) at the time of entering into the agreement to swap assets and immediately after giving effect to the proposed Asset Swap, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; (ii) the Company would, after giving PRO FORMA effect to the proposed Asset Swap, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio in the covenant "Limitation on Inurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Disqualified Capital Stock;" (iii) the respective fair market values of the assets being purchased and sold by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as determined in good faith by the management of the Company or, if such Asset Swap includes consideration in excess of $__________, by the Board of Directors of the Company, as evidenced by a Board Resolution) are substantially the same at the time of entering into the agreement to swap assets; and (iv) at the time of the consummation of the proposed Asset Swap, the percentage of any decline in the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the asset or assets being acquired by the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be significantly greater than the percentage of any decline in the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the assets being disposed of by the Company or its Subsidiaries, calculated from the time the agreement to swap assets was entered into. SECTION 5.16. LIMITATION ON LINES OF BUSINESS. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, engage to any substantial extent in any line or lines of business activity other than that which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, is a Related Business. SECTION 5.17. RESTRICTION ON SALE AND ISSUANCE OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK. Neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall sell, or permit any of their Subsidiaries to issue or sell, any Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of the Company to any person other than the Company or a Wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, except for Equity Interests with no preferences or special rights or privileges and with no redemption or prepayment provisions. 53 SECTION 5.18. WAIVER OF STAY, EXTENSION OR USURY LAWS. Each of the Company and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company or any Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium of, or interest on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee or any Paying Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(b) For purposes of clause (a), the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company. 54 SECTION 6.2. SUCCESSOR CORPORATION SUBSTITUTED. Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or consummation of a Plan of Liquidation in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer is made or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, the entity which receives the greatest value from such Plan of Liquidation shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named herein as the Company, and when a successor corporation duly assumes all of the obligations of the Company pursuant hereto and pursuant to the Securities, the Company shall be released from such obligations under the Securities and this Indenture except with respect to any obligations that arise from or are related to, such transaction. ARTICLE VII EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES SECTION 7.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. "Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be caused voluntarily or involuntarily or effected, without limitation, by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): (1) failure by the Company to pay any installment of interest upon the Securities as and when the same becomes due and payable, and the continuance of any such failure for a period of 30 days; (2) failure by the Company to pay all or any part of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Securities when and as the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration, or otherwise, including, without limitation, default in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price in accordance with Article XI or the Asset Sale Offer Price in accordance with Section 5.14, or otherwise; (3) failure by the Company or any Guarantor to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the Securities or this Indenture and, subject to certain exceptions, the continuance of such failure for a period of 60 days after written notice is given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding, specifying such default or breach, requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; 55 (4) decree, judgment, or order by a court of competent jurisdiction shall have been entered adjudicating the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under any bankruptcy or similar law, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or a decree, judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction appointing a receiver, liquidator, trustee, or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency for the Company, any of its Significant Subsidiaries, or any substantial part of the property of any such Person, or for the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of any such Person, shall have been entered, and such decree, judgment, or order shall have remained in force undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; (5) default in any issue of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $5.0 million, in either case (a) resulting from the failure to pay principal at final maturity, or (b) as a result of which the maturity of such Indebtedness has been accelerated prior to its stated maturity; (6) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall institute proceedings to be adjudicated a voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization under any bankruptcy or similar law or similar statute, or shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a Custodian, receiver, liquidator, trustee, or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or any substantial part of its assets or property, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, fail generally to pay its debts as they become due, or take any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or (7) final unsatisfied judgments not covered by insurance aggregating in excess of $5.0 million at any one time shall be rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and not stayed, bonded or discharged for a period (during which execution shall not be effectively stayed) of 60 days (or, in the case of any such final judgment which provides for payment over time, which shall so remain unstayed, unbonded or undischarged beyond any applicable payment date provided therein). SECTION 7.2. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY DATE; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(4) or (6) relating to the Company or its Significant Subsidiaries) then in every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare all of the principal and accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any Senior Debt is outstanding pursuant to the Credit Facility or other then-existing credit 56 facilities of the Company upon a declaration of such acceleration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable upon the earlier of (x) the third Business Day after the sending to the Company and the Representative of such written notice, unless such Event of Default is cured or waived prior to such date and (y) the date of acceleration of any Senior Debt under the Credit Facility or other then-existing credit facilities of the Company. In the event a declaration of acceleration resulting from an Event of Default described in Section 7.1(5) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if such default is cured or waived or the holders of the Indebtedness which is the subject of such default have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness within five days thereof and the Trustee has received written notice or such cure, wavier or rescission and no other Event of Default described in Section 7.1(5) above has occurred that has not been cured or waived within five days of the declaration of such acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(4) or (6) above, relating to the Company or any Significant Subsidiary occurs, all principal and accrued interest thereon will be immediately due and payable on all outstanding Securities without any declaration or other act on the part of Trustee or the Holders. At any time after such a declaration of acceleration being made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article VII, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind, on behalf of all Holders, any such declaration of acceleration if: (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee Cash sufficient to pay (A) all overdue interest on all Securities, (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, applicable to) any Securities which would become due other than by reason of such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Securities, (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.7, and (2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Securities which have become due solely by such declara- 57 tion of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 7.12, including, if applicable, any Event of Default relating to the covenants contained in Section 11.1. Notwithstanding the previous sentence of this Section 7.2, no waiver shall be effective against any Holder for any Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default with respect to (i) any covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby, unless all such affected Holders agree, in writing, to waive such Event of Default or other event and (ii) any provision requiring supermajority approval to amend, unless such default has been waived by such a supermajority. No such waiver shall cure or waive any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 7.3. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE. The Company covenants that if an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium, or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 7.1 occurs and is continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium (if any) and interest, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate borne by the Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including compensation to, and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.7. If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust in favor of the Holders, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. SECTION 7.4. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall 58 then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal and premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise to take any and all actions under the TIA, including (1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agent and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.7) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.7. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. SECTION 7.5. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust in favor of the Holders, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of compensation to, and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.7, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. SECTION 7.6. PRIORITIES. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VII shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such 59 money on account of principal, premium (if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the Trustee in payment of all amounts due pursuant to Section 8.7; SECOND: To the Holders in payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, premium (if any) and interest on, the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal, premium (if any) and interest, respectively; and THIRD: To the Company or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto, the remainder, if any. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders under this Section 7.6. SECTION 7.7. LIMITATION ON SUITS. No Holder of any Security shall have any right to order or direct the Trustee to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (A) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; (B) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (C) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred or reasonably probable to be incurred in compliance with such request; (D) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and (E) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or 60 prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders. SECTION 7.8. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, such Security on the Maturity Dates of such payments as expressed in such Security (in the case of redemption, the Redemption Price on the applicable Redemption Date, in the case of the Change of Control Payment, on the applicable Change of Control Payment Date, and in the case of the Asset Sale Offer Price, on the Purchase Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment after such respective dates, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. SECTION 7.9. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 3.8, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. SECTION 7.10. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission by the Trustee or by any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy arising upon any Event of Default shall impair the exercise of any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article VII or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. SECTION 7.11. CONTROL BY HOLDERS. The Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, PROVIDED, that (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or involve the Trustee in personal liability, 61 (2) the Trustee shall not determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction, and (3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. SECTION 7.12. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULT. Subject to Section 7.8, and prior to the declaration of acceleration of the maturity of the Securities, the Holder or Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may, on behalf of all Holders, waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default (A) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security as specified in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 7.1 and not yet cured, (B) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Article X, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected, or (C) in respect of any provision hereof which, under Article X, cannot be modified, amended or waived without the consent of the Holders of a supermajority of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding; PROVIDED, that any such waiver may be effected with the consent of the Holders of a supermajority of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair the exercise of any right arising therefrom. SECTION 7.13. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it as Trustee, any court may in its discretion require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 7.13 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of 62 Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for enforcement of the payment of principal of, or premium (if any) or interest on, any Security on or after the respective Maturity Date expressed in such Security (including, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). SECTION 7.14. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. ARTICLE VIII TRUSTEE The Trustee hereby accepts the trust imposed upon it by this Indenture and covenants and agrees to perform the same, as herein expressed, subject to the terms hereof. SECTION 8.1. DUTIES OF TRUSTEE. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. 63 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: (1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 8.1, (2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, and (3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 7.11. (d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or to take or omit to take any action under this Indenture or at the request, order or direction of the Holders or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (e) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) of this Section 8.1. (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any assets received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. 64 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture, nor for any action permitted to be taken or omitted hereunder by any Agent. (e) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit. (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. (g) Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company or any Guarantor shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable.

In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have received written notification or with respect to which a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge. (i) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate. SECTION 8.3. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company, any Guarantor, any of their Subsidiaries, or their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 8.10 and 8.11. SECTION 8.4. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities and it shall not be accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities, other than the Trustee's 65 certificate of authentication (if executed by the Trustee), or the use or application of any funds received by a Paying Agent other than the Trustee. SECTION 8.5. NOTICE OF DEFAULT. If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder notice of the uncured Default or Event of Default within 90 days after such Default or Event of Default occurs. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) of, or interest on, any Security (including the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price on the Change of Control Payment Date, the payment of the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date and the payment of the Offer Price on the Purchase Date), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a Trust Officer in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Securityholders. SECTION 8.6. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. Within 60 days after each [DATE] beginning with the [DATE] following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall, if required by law, mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of such [DATE] that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Sections 313(b) and 313(c). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing if the Securities become listed on any stock exchange or automatic quotation system. A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed. SECTION 8.7. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing between the Company and the Trustee for its services. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it in accordance with this Indenture. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents, accountants, experts and counsel. The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) and each of its officers and each of them, directors, attorneys-in-fact and agents for, and hold it harmless against, any and all claim, demand, damage, expense (including but not limited to reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel), loss or liability incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, 66 arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and its rights or duties hereunder including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity. The Company and the Guarantors shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company's and the Guarantors' expense in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company and the Guarantors shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their written consent. The Company and the Guarantors need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. To secure the Company's and the Guarantors' payment obligations in this Section 8.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all assets held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except assets held in trust to pay principal and premium, if any, of or interest on particular Securities. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(4) or (6) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The Company's and the Guarantors' obligations under this Section 8.7 and any lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the discharge of the Company's and the Guarantors' obligations pursuant to Article IX of this Indenture and any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law. SECTION 8.8. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor trustee with the Company's consent. The Company may remove the Trustee if: (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10; (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent; (c) a receiver, Custodian, or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 67 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that and provided that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee provided for in Section 8.7 have been paid, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided in Section 8.7, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder. If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holder or Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 8.10, any Securityholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.8, the Company and the Guarantors' obligations under Section 8.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. SECTION 8.9. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee. SECTION 8.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b). 68 SECTION 8.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated. ARTICLE IX DISCHARGE; LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE SECTION 9.1. DISCHARGE; OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except that the Company's and the Guarantors' obligations under Section 8.7 and the Trustee's and the Paying Agent's obligations under Sections 9.6 and 9.7 shall survive) when all outstanding Securities theretofore authenticated and issued have been delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Securities that have been replaced or paid) to the Trustee for cancellation and the Company or the Guarantors have paid all sums payable hereunder. In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have Section 9.2 or may, at any time, elect to have Section 9.3 applied to all outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article IX. SECTION 9.2. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Company's exercise under Section 9.1 of the option applicable to this Section 9.2, the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 9.5 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 9.4, and as more fully set forth in such section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.5, 3.7, 3.8, 3.11 and 5.2, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company's and the Guarantors' obligation in connection therewith and (d) this Article IX. Upon Legal Defeasance as provided herein, the Guarantee of each Guarantor shall be fully released and discharged and the Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver to the Company any documents reasonably requested by the Company to evidence or effect the foregoing. Subject to compliance 69 with this Article IX, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 9.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.3 with respect to the Securities. SECTION 9.3. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. Upon the Company's exercise under Section 9.1 of the option applicable to this Section 9.3, the Company and the Guarantors shall be released from their respective obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 5.3, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, 5.14, 5.15, 5.16 and 5.17, Article VI, Article XI and Article XII with respect to the outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Securities shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities, the Company need not comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document (and Section 7.1(3) shall not apply to any such covenant), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section 9.1 of the option applicable to this Section 9.3, Sections 7.1(3) through 7.1(7) shall not constitute Events of Default. Upon Covenant Defeasance, as provided herein, the Guarantee of each Guarantor shall be fully released and discharged and the Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver to the Company any documents reasonably requested by the Company to evidence or effect the foregoing. SECTION 9.4. CONDITIONS TO LEGAL OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 to the outstanding Securities: (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfactory to the Trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 8.10 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article IX applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (a) Cash in an amount, or (b) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, Cash in an amount, or (c) a combination thereof, in such amounts, as in each case will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge and which shall be applied by the Paying Agent (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, of such principal or installment of principal, premium, 70 if any, or interest; PROVIDED that the Paying Agent shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such Cash and the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to said payments with respect to the Securities.

SECTION 9.5. DEPOSITED CASH AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Subject to Section 9.6, all Cash and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Paying Agent (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 9.5, the "Paying Agent") pursuant to Section 9.4 in respect of the outstanding Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Paying Agent, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any other Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.4 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. SECTION 9.6. REPAYMENT TO THE COMPANY. Anything in this Article IX to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any Cash or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.4 hereof which in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 9.4(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Any Cash and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, 72 before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to (i) be published once, in the NEW YORK TIMES and THE WALL STREET JOURNAL (national edition), or (ii) mail to each such Holder, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. SECTION 9.7. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any Cash or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.2 or 9.3, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's and the Guarantors' obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 9.2 or 8.3 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply such money in accordance with Section 9.2 and 9.3, as the case may be; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the Cash and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. ARTICLE X AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS SECTION 10.1. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company or any Guarantor, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes: (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect, or inconsistency, or make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, provided such action pursuant to this clause shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holder in any respect; (2) to add to the covenants of the Company or the Guarantors for the benefit of the Holders, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company or the Guarantors; (3) to provide for additional collateral for or additional Guarantors of the Securities; 73 (4) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company, and the assumption by any such successor of the obligations of the Company, herein and in the Securities in accordance with Article VI; (5) to comply with the TIA; (6) to evidence the succession of another corporation to any Guarantor and assumption by any such successor of the Guaranty of such Guarantor (as set forth in Section 12.4) in accordance with Article XIV; (7) to evidence the release of any Guarantor in accordance with Article XII; (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities; (9) to add any additional Events of Default; (10) to add or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities of any series in bearer form, registrable or not registrable, and with or without coupons, to permit Bearer Securities to be issued in exchange for Registered Securities, to permit Bearer Securities to be issued in exchange for Bearer Securities of other authorized denominations or to permit the issuance of Securities of any series in uncertificated form, PROVIDED that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons in any material respect; (11) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, PROVIDED that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Outstanding Debt Security or coupon of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision and as to which such supplemental indenture would apply; (12) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities, PROVIDED that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or any other series of Securities or any related coupons in any material respect; or (13) to establish the form or terms of Securities and coupons, if any, of any series as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1. SECTION 10.2. AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES AND WAIVERS WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS. 74 Subject to Section 7.8, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Securities, by written act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company or any Guarantor, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities or enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Securities or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under this Indenture or the Securities. Subject to Section 7.8, the Holder or Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Securities may waive compliance by the Company or any Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities. Notwithstanding any of the above, however, no such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver shall without the consent of the Holders of not less than 75% of the aggregate principal amounts of Securities at the time outstanding alter the terms or provisions of Section 11.1 in a manner adverse to the Holders; and no such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver shall, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby: (1) change the Stated Maturity on any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate (or extend the time for payment) of interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change the place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or reduce the Change of Control Purchase Price, the 1994 9 3/4% Note Purchase Price or the Asset Sale Offer Price or alter the provisions (including the defined terms used herein) regarding the right of the Company to redeem the Securities in a manner adverse the Holders; or (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Securities, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such amendment, supplemental indenture or wavier provided for in this Indenture; or (3) modify any of the waiver provisions, except to increase any required percentage or to provide that certain other provision of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 10.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 75 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 10.2 or Section 10.4 becomes effective, it shall bind each Holder. In connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Article X, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, offer to any Holder who consents to such amendment, supplement or waiver, or to all Holders, consideration for such Holder's consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver. SECTION 10.3. COMPLIANCE WITH TIA. Every amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect. SECTION 10.4. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS. Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of his Security by written notice to the Company or the Person designated by the Company as the Person to whom consents should be sent if such revocation is received by the Company or such Person before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers' Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be the date so fixed by the Company notwithstanding the provisions of the TIA. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date, and only those Persons (or their duly designated proxies), shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (3) of Section 10.2, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security; PROVIDED, that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal and premium of and interest on a Security, on or after the respective dates set for such amounts to become due and payable expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates. 76 SECTION 10.5. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Registrar or require the Holder to put an appropriate notation on the Security. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Any failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver. SECTION 10.6. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC. The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article X; PROVIDED, that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article X is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. ARTICLE XI RIGHT TO REQUIRE REPURCHASE SECTION 11.1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. (a) In the event that a Change of Control has occurred, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder's option, pursuant to an irrevocable and unconditional offer by the Company (the "Change of Control Offer"), to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder's Securities (PROVIDED, that the principal amount of such Securities at maturity must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) on a date (the "Change of Control Purchase Date") that is no later than 35 Business Days after the Occurrence of such Change of Control, at a cash price (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of Control Purchase Date. (b) In the event of a Change of Control, the Company shall be required to commence a Change of Control Offer as follows: (1) the Change of Control Offer shall commence within 10 Business Days following the occurrence of the Change of Control; 77 (2) the Change of Control Offer shall remain open for 20 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law, but in any case not more than 35 Business Days following commencement (the "Change of Control Offer Period"); (3) upon the expiration of a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall promptly purchase all of the properly tendered Securities at the Change of Control Purchase Price; (4) if the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Security is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Securityholders who tender Securities pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (5) the Company shall provide the Trustee and the Paying Agent with notice of the Change of Control Offer at least three Business Days before the commencement of any Change of Control Offer; and (6) on or before the commencement of any Change of Control Offer, the Company or the Registrar (upon the request and at the expense of the Company) shall send, by first-class mail, a notice to each of the Securityholders, which (to the extent consistent with this Indenture) shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer and shall state: (i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to such notice and this Section 11.1 and that all Securities, or portions thereof, tendered will be accepted for payment; (ii) the Change of Control Purchase Price (including the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, subject to clause (b)(4) above), the Change of Control Purchase Date and the Change of Control Put Date (as defined below); (iii) that any Security, or portion thereof, not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in depositing Cash with the Paying Agent in accordance with the last paragraph of this Section 11.1 or such payment is prevented, any Security, or portion thereof, accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date; (v) that Holders electing to have a Security, or portion thereof, purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Security, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Security 78 completed, to the Paying Agent (which may not for purposes of this Section 11.1, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, be the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the earlier of (a) the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date and (b) the third Business Day following the expiration of the Change of Control Offer (such earlier date being the "Change of Control Put Date"); (vi) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election, in whole or in part, if the Paying Agent (which may not for purposes of this Section 11.1, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, be the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) receives, up to the close of business on the Change of Control Put Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities the Holder is withdrawing and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such principal amount of Securities purchased; and (vii) a brief description of the events resulting in such Change of Control. Any such Change of Control Offer shall comply with all applicable provisions of Federal and state laws, including those regulating tender offers, if applicable, and any provisions of this Indenture which conflict with such laws shall be deemed to be superseded by the provisions of such laws. On or before the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Securities or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer on or before the Change of Control Put Date, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent Cash sufficient to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price for all Securities or portions thereof so tendered and (iii) deliver to the Registrar Securities so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate listing the aggregate principal amount of the Securities or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall on the Change of Control Purchase Date or promptly thereafter mail to Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price for such Securities, and the Trustee or its authenticating agent shall promptly authenticate and the Registrar shall mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to such Holders a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered; provided, however, that each such new Security will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Any Securities not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the consummation thereof. 79 ARTICLE XII GUARANTEE SECTION 12.1. GUARANTEE. (a) In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the "Guarantee"), jointly and severally, to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Securities, that: (w) the principal and premium (if any) of and interest on the Securities will be paid in full when due, whether at the Maturity Date or Interest Payment Date, by acceleration, call for redemption, upon a Change of Control Offer, upon an Asset Sale Offer or otherwise; (x) all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the trustee under this Indenture or the Securities will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the securities; and (y) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations, they will be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, upon a Change of Control Offer, upon an Asset Sale Offer or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same before failure so to pay becomes an Event of Default. If the Company or a Guarantor defaults in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities when and as the same shall become due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, call for redemption, upon a Change of Control Offer, upon an Asset Sale Offer or otherwise, without the necessity of action by the Trustee or any Holder, each Guarantor shall be required, jointly and severally, to promptly make such payment in full. (b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to this Guarantee shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any delays in obtaining or realizing upon or failures to obtain or realize upon collateral, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (except as provided in Sections 12.4 and 12.5). Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or right to require the prior disposition of the assets of the Company to meet its obligations, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged(except to the extent released pursuant to Section 12.4 or 12.5) except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture. 80 (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to either the Company or any Guarantor, or any Custodian, trustee, or similar official acting in relation to the Company or such Guarantor, any amount paid by either the Company or such Guarantor to the trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect (except to the extent released pursuant to Section 12.4 or 12.5). Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,(i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 7.2 for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration as to the Company of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of those obligations as provided in Section 7.2, those obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by each of the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. (d) Each Guarantor and by its acceptance of a Security issued hereunder each Holder hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Guarantor set forth in Section 12.1(a) not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purpose of any Bankruptcy law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Actor any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its guarantee set forth in Section 12.1(a) shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its guarantee or pursuant to the following paragraph of this Section 12.1(d), result in the obligations of such Guarantor under such guarantee not constituting such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Guarantor that makes any payment or distribution under Section 12.1(a) shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor equal to its Pro Rata Portion of such payment or distribution. For purposes of the foregoing, the "Pro Rata Portion" of any Guarantor means the percentage of the net assets of all Guarantors held by such Guarantor, determined in accordance with GAAP. (e) It is the intention of each Guarantor and the Company that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be joint and several and in, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if the obligations in respect of the Guarantee would be annulled, avoided or subordinated to the creditors of any Guarantor by a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding actually pending before such court as a result of a determination both that such Guarantee was made without fair consideration and, immediately after giving effect thereto, such Guarantor was insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature or left with an unreasonably small capital, then the obligations of such Guarantor under such Guarantee shall be reduced by such court if and to the extent such reduction would result in the avoidance of 81 such annulment, avoidance or subordination; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any reduction pursuant to this paragraph shall be made in the smallest amount as is strictly necessary to reach such result. For purposes of this paragraph, "fair consideration", "insolvency", "unable to pay its debts as they mature", "unreasonably small capital" and the effective times of reductions, if any, required by this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with applicable law. SECTION 12.2. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF GUARANTEE. Each Guarantor shall be deemed to have signed on each Security issued hereunder the notation of guarantee set forth in Section 2.4 to the same extent as if the signature of such Guarantor appeared on such Security. The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the guarantee set forth in Section 12.1 on behalf of each Guarantor. The notation of a guarantee set forth on any Security shall be null and void and of no further effect with respect to the guarantee of any Guarantor which, pursuant to Section 12.4 or Section 12.5, is released from such guarantee. SECTION 12.3. SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS. All present Subsidiaries of the Company and their Subsidiaries, and (ii) all future Subsidiaries of the Company and their Subsidiaries, which are not prohibited from becoming guarantors by law or by the terms of any Acquired Indebtedness or any agreement (other than an agreement entered into in connection with the transaction resulting in such person becoming a Subsidiary of the Company or its Subsidiaries) to which such Subsidiary is a party ("Future Subsidiary Guarantors"), jointly and severally, will guarantee irrevocably and unconditionally all principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities on the basis set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon any change in the law, Acquired Indebtedness or any agreement (whether by expiration, termination or otherwise) which no longer prohibits a Subsidiary of the Company from becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary shall immediately thereafter become a Subsidiary Guarantor; PROVIDED, FURTHER, in the event that any Subsidiary of the Company or their Subsidiaries becomes a guarantor of any other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Subsidiaries, such Subsidiary shall immediately thereafter become a Subsidiary Guarantor. SECTION 12.4. GUARANTOR MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC., ON CERTAIN TERMS. (a) Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or any other Guarantor. Upon any such consolidation or merger, the guarantees (as set forth in Section 12.1) of the Guarantor which is not the survivor of the merger or consolidation, and of any Subsidiary of such Guarantor that is also a Guarantor, shall be released and shall no longer have any force or effect. (b) Nothing contained in this Indenture shall prevent any sale or conveyance of assets of any Guarantor (whether or not constituting all or substantially all of the assets of such 82 Guarantor) to any Person, provided that the Company shall comply with the provisions of Section 5.14 and 5.17, and provided further that, in the event that all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor are sold or conveyed, the guarantees of such Guarantor (as set forth in Section 12.1) shall be released and shall no longer have any force or effect. (c) Except as provided in Section 12.4(a) or Section 12.5, each Guarantor shall not, directly or indirectly, consolidate with or merge with or into another Person, unless (i) either (a) the Guarantor is the continuing entity or (b) the resulting or surviving entity is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Guarantor in connection with the Securities and this Indenture; (ii) no Default or Event of Default would occur as a consequence of (after giving effect, on a PRO FORMA basis, to) such transaction; and (iii) the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation or merger and if a supplemental indenture is required, such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture and that all conditions precedent herein relating to such transaction have been satisfied. (d) Upon any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor in accordance with Section 12.4 hereof, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Guarantor is merged shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Guarantor under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named herein as the Guarantor, and when a successor corporation duly assumes all of the obligations of the Guarantor pursuant hereto and pursuant to the Securities, the Guarantor shall be released from such obligations. SECTION 12.5. RELEASE OF GUARANTORS. (a) Without any further notice or action being required by any Person, any Guarantor, and each Subsidiary of such Guarantor that is also a Guarantor, shall be fully and conditionally released and discharged from all obligations under its guarantee and this Indenture, upon (i) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or properties of such Guarantor, or 50% or more of the Equity Interests of any such Guarantor to Persons other than the Company and their Subsidiaries or (ii) the consolidation or merger of any such Guarantor with any Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, if, as a result of such consolidation or merger, Persons other than the Company and their Subsidiaries beneficially own more than 50% of the capital stock of such Guarantor, PROVIDED that, in either such case, the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale, disposition, merger or consolidation are applied in accordance with Section 5.14 of this Indenture; or (iii) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as set forth in Article IX. (b) The releases and discharges set forth in Section 12.5(a) shall be effective (i) in the case of releases and discharges effected pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 12.5(a) by virtue of a sale, disposition, consolidation or merger, on the date of consummation thereof and (ii) in the case of releases and discharges effected pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 12.5(a), upon the 83 date of Covenant Defeasance or Legal Defeasance, as applicable. At the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver appropriate instruments in forms reasonably acceptable to the Company evidencing and further implementing any releases and discharges pursuant to the foregoing provisions. If the Company desires the instruments evidencing or implementing any releases or discharges to be executed prior to the effectiveness of such releases and discharges as set forth above, such instruments may be made conditional upon the occurrence of the events necessary to cause the effectiveness of such releases and discharges, as specified in the first sentence of this Section 12.5. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article XII, (i) any Guarantor whose guarantee would otherwise be released pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.5 may elect, by written notice to the Trustee, to maintain such guarantee in effect notwithstanding the event or events that otherwise would cause the release of such guarantee (which election to maintain such guarantee in effect may be conditional or for a limited period of time), and (ii) any Subsidiary of the Company which is not a Guarantor may elect, by written notice to the Trustee, to become a Guarantor (which election may be conditional or for a limited period of time). SECTION 12.6. CERTAIN BANKRUPTCY EVENTS. Each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees, to the fullest extent that it may do so under applicable law, that in the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, such Guarantor shall not file (or join in any filing of), or otherwise seek to participate in the filing of, any motion or request seeking to stay or to prohibit (even temporarily) execution on the Guarantee and hereby waives and agrees not to take the benefit of any such stay of execution, whether under Section 362 or 105 of the Bankruptcy Law or otherwise. ARTICLE XIII CONVERSION SECTION 13.1. APPLICABILITY; CONVERSION PRIVILEGE. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, the provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any Securities that are convertible into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock. If so provided pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the Securities of any series, the Holder of a Security of such series shall have the right, at such Holder's option, to convert, in accordance with the terms of such series of Securities and this Article, all or any part (in a denomination of, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to Securities of such series, $1,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple thereof) of such Security into shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock or, as to any Securities called for redemption, at any time prior to the time and date fixed for such redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case such right shall not terminate at such time and date). 84 SECTION 13.2. CONVERSION PROCEDURE; CONVERSION PRICE; NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. (a) Each Security to which this Article is applicable shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent, and at such other place or places, if any, specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the Securities of such series, into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock. The Securities will be converted into shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock at the Conversion Price therefor. No payment or adjustment shall be made in respect of dividends on the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock or accrued interest on a converted Security except as described in Section 13.9. The Parent Guarantor shall not, in connection with any conversion of Securities, issue a fraction of a share of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock. The Parent Guarantor shall, subject to Section 13.3(4), make a cash payment (calculated to the nearest cent) equal to such fraction multiplied by the Closing Price of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, as applicable, on the last Trading Day prior to the date of conversion. (b) Before any Holder of a Security shall be entitled to convert the same into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, such Holder shall surrender such Security duly endorsed to the Company or in blank, or, in the case of Bearer Securities, together with any unmatured coupons and any matured coupons in default attached thereto, at the office of the Conversion Agent or at such other place or places, if any, specified pursuant to Section 3.1 (in the case of Registered Securities) and at an office of the Conversion Agent or at such other place or places, if any, outside of the United States as is specified pursuant to Section 3.1 (in the case of Bearer Securities), and shall give written notice to the Company at said office or place that such Holder elects to convert the same and shall state in writing therein the principal amount of Securities to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock to be issued; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Security or portion thereof shall be accepted for conversion unless the principal amount of such Security or such portion, when added to the principal amount of all other Securities or portions thereof then being surrendered by the Holder thereof for conversion, exceeds the then-effective Conversion Price with respect thereto. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, then such conversion may be effected if the Bearer Securities to be surrendered for conversion are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, then such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.2, interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock which shall be deliverable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the 85 Securities (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, the Parent Guarantor will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at said office or place to such Holder of a Security, or to such Holder's nominee or nominees, certificates for the number of full shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled. The Parent Guarantor shall not be required to deliver certificates for shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock while the stock transfer books for such stock or the security register are duly closed for any purpose, but certificates for shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock shall be issued and delivered as soon as practicable after the opening of such books or Security Register. A Security shall be deemed to have been converted as of the close of business on the date of the surrender of such Security for conversion as provided above, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record Holder or Holders of such Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock as of the close of business on such date. In case any Security shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Securities so surrendered, without charge to such Holder (subject to the provisions of Section 13.8), a new Security or Securities in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Security. SECTION 13.3. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE. The Conversion Price with respect to any Security which is convertible into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (1) In case the Parent Guarantor shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Securities are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend in shares of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock to holders of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, respectively, (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, respectively, (iii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, respectively, or (iv) make a distribution in shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock to holders of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, respectively, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such action shall be adjusted so that the Holders of such Securities, upon conversion thereof into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock immediately following such event, shall be entitled to receive the kind and amount of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock which they would have owned or been entitled to receive upon or by reason of such event if such Securities had been converted immediately before the record date (or, if no record date, the effective date) for such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13.3(1) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination. For the purposes of this Section 13.3(1), each Holder of Securities shall be deemed to have failed to 86 exercise any right to elect the kind or amount of securities receivable upon the payment of any such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution (PROVIDED, that if the kind or amount of securities receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution is not the same for each nonelecting share, then the kind and amount of securities or other property receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution for each nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the nonelecting shares). (2) In case the Parent Guarantor shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Securities are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all holders of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date for such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock) at a price per share less than the Current Market Price of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock at such record date (treating the price per share of the securities convertible into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock as equal to (x) the sum of (i) the price for a unit of the security convertible into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock and (ii) any additional consideration initially payable upon the conversion of such security into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock divided by (y) the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock initially underlying such convertible security), the Conversion Price with respect to such Securities shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are initially convertible), and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of securities which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of securities so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate purchase price of the convertible securities so offered plus the aggregate amount of any additional consideration initially payable upon conversion of such securities into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock) would purchase at such Current Market Price of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. (3) In the case the Parent Guarantor shall, at any time or from time to time while any of such Securities are outstanding, distribute to all holders of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Parent Guarantor is the continuing corporation and the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock is not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of its indebtedness, securities or assets (excluding (i) regular periodic cash dividends in amounts, if any, determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, (ii) dividends payable in shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock for which adjustment is made under Section 13.3(1) or (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Parent Guarantor (excluding those referred to in Section 13.3(2)), then 87 in each such case the Conversion Price with respect to such Securities determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock on the record date referred to below, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the cash or assets or evidences of indebtedness or securities so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock (PROVIDED that such denominator shall never be less than 1.0); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any distribution of rights to purchase securities of the Parent Guarantor if a Holder of Securities would otherwise be entitled to receive such rights upon conversion at any time of such Securities into Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock unless such rights are subsequently redeemed by the Parent Guarantor, in which case such redemption shall be treated for purposes of this Section as a dividend on the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. (4) The Company and the Parent Guarantor shall be entitled to make such additional adjustments in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by subsections 13.3(1), 13.2(2), and 13.3(3), as shall be necessary in order that any dividend or distribution of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, any subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock or any issuance of rights or warrants referred to above shall not be taxable to the holders of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock for United States Federal income tax purposes. (5) In any case in which this Section 13.3 shall require that any adjustment be made effective as of or retroactively immediately following a record date, the Parent Guarantor may elect to defer (but only for five (5) Trading Days following the filing of the statement referred to in Section 13.5) issuing to the Holder of any Securities converted after such record date the shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock and other capital stock of the Parent Guarantor issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock and other capital stock of the Parent Guarantor issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Parent Guarantor shall deliver to such Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder's right to receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment. (6) All calculations under this Section 13.3 shall be made to the nearest cent or one-hundredth of a share of security, with one-half cent and 0.005 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.3, the Company and Parent Guarantor shall not be required to make any adjustment of the Conversion Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such price. Any lesser adjustment 88 shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of, and together with, the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price. Any adjustments under this Section 13.3 shall be made successively whenever an event requiring such an adjustment occurs. (7) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13.3, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of stock of the Parent Guarantor other than shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock into which the Securities originally were convertible, the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any such Security shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock contained in subparagraphs (1) through (6) of this Section 13.3, and the provisions of Sections 13.1, 13.2 and 13.4 through 13.9 with respect to the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock shall apply on like or similar terms to any such other shares and the determination of the Board of Directors as to any such adjustment shall be conclusive. (8) No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section: (i) if the effect thereof would be to reduce the Conversion Price below the par value (if any) of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock or (ii) subject to Section 13.3(5) hereof, with respect to any Security that is converted prior to the time such adjustment otherwise would be made. SECTION 13.4. CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER OF THE PARENT GUARANTOR. In case of either (a) any consolidation or merger to which the Parent Guarantor is a party, other than a merger or consolidation in which the Parent Guarantor is the surviving or continuing corporation and which does not result in a reclassification of, or change (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value, as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock or (b) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Parent Guarantor to another Person, each Security then outstanding shall be convertible from and after such merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance of property and assets into the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock into which such Securities would have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article (and assuming such holder of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property (including cash) receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance (PROVIDED that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property (including cash) receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance is not the same for each nonelecting share, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property (including cash) receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance for each 89 nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the nonelecting shares or securities)). The Parent Guarantor shall not enter into any of the transactions referred to in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence unless effective provision shall be made so as to give effect to the provisions set forth in this Section 13.4. The provisions of this Section 13.4 shall apply similarly to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. SECTION 13.5. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Whenever an adjustment in the Conversion Price with respect to a series of Securities is required: (1) the Company shall forthwith place on file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent for such Securities a certificate of the Treasurer of the Company, stating the adjusted Conversion Price determined as provided herein and setting forth in reasonable detail such facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and the manner of computing such adjustment, such certificate to be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct; and (2) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price shall forthwith be given by the Company, or at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. SECTION 13.6. NOTICE IN CERTAIN EVENTS. In case: (1) of a consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or conveyance to another Person or entity or group of Persons or entities acting in concert as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company; or (2) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; or (3) of any action triggering an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent for the applicable Securities, and shall cause to be given, to the Holders of record of applicable Securities, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of any distribution or grant of rights or warrants triggering an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article, or, if a record is 90 not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of record or Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock entitled to such distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which any reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up triggering an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in clause (1), (2), or (3) of this Section. SECTION 13.7. PARENT GUARANTOR TO RESERVE STOCK; REGISTRATION; LISTING. (a) The Parent Guarantor shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Securities, such number of its duly authorized shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all applicable outstanding Securities into such Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock at any time (assuming that, at the time of the computation of such number of shares or securities, all such Securities would be held by a single holder); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing contained herein shall preclude the Parent Guarantor from satisfying its obligations in respect of the conversion of the Securities by delivery of purchased shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock which are held in the treasury of the Parent Guarantor. The Parent Guarantor shall from time to time, in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, use its best efforts to cause the authorized amount of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock to be increased if the aggregate of the authorized amount of the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock remaining unissued and the issued shares of such Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock in its treasury (other than any such shares reserved for issuance in any other connection) shall not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all Securities. (b) If any shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock which would be issuable upon conversion of Securities hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority before such shares or securities may be issued upon such conversion, the Parent Guarantor will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to cause such shares or securities to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be. The Parent Guarantor will endeavor to list the shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of the Securities prior to such delivery upon the principal national securities exchange upon which the outstanding Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock is listed at the time of such delivery. 91 SECTION 13.8. TAXES ON CONVERSION. The Parent Guarantor shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. The Parent Guarantor shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock or the portion, if any, of the Securities which are not so converted in a name other than that in which the Securities so converted were registered (in case of Registered Securities), and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Parent Guarantor the amount of such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Parent Guarantor that such tax has been paid. SECTION 13.9. CONVERSION AFTER RECORD DATE. If any Securities are surrendered for conversion subsequent to the record date preceding an Interest Payment Date but on or prior to such Interest Payment Date (except Securities called for redemption on a Redemption Date between such record date and Interest Payment Date), the Holder of such Securities at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Securities on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof. Securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any record date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date shall (except in the case of Securities which have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date within such period) be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds and in the currency acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the Securities being surrendered for conversion. Except as provided in this Section 13.9, no adjustments in respect of payments of interest on Securities surrendered for conversion or any dividends or distributions of interest on the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock issued upon conversion shall be made upon the conversion of any Securities. SECTION 13.10. COMPANY AND PARENT GUARANTOR DETERMINATION FINAL. Any determination that the Company, the Parent Guarantor, or the respective Boards of Directors must make pursuant to this Article is conclusive. SECTION 13.11. TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article should be made, how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company's or the Parent Guarantor's failure to comply with this Article. 92 Each Conversion Agent other than the Company and the Parent Guarantor shall have the same protection under this Section as the Trustee.

(a) The Company shall, in each Borrowing Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice in respect of the making of, conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan, select the interest period (each an "Interest Period") applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Company, be either a one-month, two-month, three-month or six-month period, provided that: (i) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of the making of such Loan (including the date of any conversion from a Floating Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Loan shall commence on the date on which the next preceding Interest Period expires; (ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided, however, that if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; (iii) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month; (iv) no Interest Period in respect of any Revolving Loan, Term A Loan or Term B Loan shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan Termination Date, Term A Loan Maturity Date or the Term B Loan Maturity Date, as the case may be; and (v) no Interest Period applicable to any Revolving Loan, any Term A Loan or any Term B Loan shall extend beyond any Revolving Loan Commitment Reduction Date, any 32 date upon which a repayment of the Term A Loans is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or any date upon which a repayment of the Term B Loans is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.2(b), respectively, unless the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans, Term A Loans or Term B Loans, respectively, represented by Floating Rate Loans or by Eurodollar Loans having Interest Periods which will not expire on or before such date equals or is less than the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Term A Loans or the Term B Loans, respectively, in effect or outstanding, as the case may be, immediately after the Revolving Loan Commitment Reduction Date, any such date upon which a repayment of the Term A Loans is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or any such date upon which a repayment of the Term B Loans is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.2(b), respectively. (b) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period, the Company has failed to repay the Eurodollar Loans expiring on such day or has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to the respective Eurodollar Loan as provided above, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Floating Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period. (c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company may not borrow any Eurodollar Loan if, at the time of such borrowing, a Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date either before or after giving effect to such borrowing. Section 2.8 MANDATORY PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. (a) If on any day the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans plus the aggregate L/C Obligations then outstanding exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment minus the aggregate amount of any Revolver Reserve and any Non-broadcast Revolver Reserve in effect at such time, the Company shall immediately repay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. In addition, to the extent and if for any reason after giving effect to such repayment of Revolving Loans the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment minus the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans outstanding minus any Revolver Reserve and any Non-broadcast Revolver Reserve in effect at the time is less than the amount of the L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, the Company shall Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall. (b) (i) Promptly, but in any event within two Business Days after the sale, transfer or other disposition by the Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Original Closing Date (including, without limitation, any disposition accomplished by way of a merger, consolidation or a series of transactions) of any property, asset or business (including, without limitation, any Radio Station) to any Person other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding any sale, transfer or other disposition of (A) inventory in the ordinary course of business, (B) used, worn-out or obsolete equipment no longer useful to the business in the ordinary course of business to the extent that an amount equal to the net cash proceeds realized therefrom is used to purchase replacement or substitute equipment within 180 days and (C) any Non- broadcast Asset), and including any sale or other transfer or issuance of any Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of the Company, whether by the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, the Company shall make a mandatory payment in respect of the Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds (after taxes, reasonable fees and commissions and reasonable and customary expenses incurred directly in connection therewith) realized from such sales, transfers, issuances or other dispositions occurring after the Original Closing Date, all as certified to by an Authorized Officer of the Company (collectively, "Net Cash Proceeds") in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8(b)(i); PROVIDED that, if any Cash Equivalents are received as proceeds from any such sale, transfer, issuance or 33 other disposition, the Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall cause all such Cash Equivalents to be converted into or reduced to cash within two Business Days after the date of any such sale, transfer, issuance or other disposition and all such cash proceeds of such Cash Equivalents shall be deemed to be "Net Cash Proceeds" for all purposes of this Section 2.8(b)(i). The Company shall apply such Net Cash Proceeds within such two Business Days as set forth above to repay the principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding at such time to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested in a Permitted Acquisition (other than notes, bonds, obligations and securities that do not represent a controlling interest in the Capital Stock of an entity acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition) and a corresponding reserve against the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds applied to the Revolving Loans (the "Revolver Reserve") shall be created; provided that if no Revolving Loans are outstanding on such date or if the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds so received exceeds the amount of Revolving Loans outstanding on such date, then the Company may, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, retain such proceeds in an amount equal to the excess of the Net Cash Proceeds over the Revolving Loans then outstanding until such proceeds are reinvested in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8(b)(i); PROVIDED that if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing on or after the date such excess proceeds would have been required to have been applied to repay the Revolving Loans, the Company shall apply such excess proceeds to repay the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.8(h). During the Proceeds Application Period, the Company may provide one or more Borrowing Notices of Revolving Loans to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.5 which shall specify that the proceeds of such Revolving Loans will be invested in a Permitted Acquisition (as all or a portion of the purchase price thereof), and subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4.1) the Lenders shall make such Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.1 in an aggregate amount necessary to finance such Permitted Acquisition in an amount not greater than the Revolver Reserve then in effect and the Revolver Reserve shall be reduced during the Proceeds Application Period each time a Revolving Loan is made in accordance with this Section 2.8(b)(i) by the amount of such Revolving Loan; PROVIDED that, should the Proceeds Application Period have expired before such a Revolving Loan is made with respect to the applicable portion of the Revolver Reserve as set forth above in this Section 2.8(b)(i), then an amount equal to such applicable portion of the Revolver Reserve (as adjusted as described above) shall be applied to prepay the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8(h) and Section 2.8(b)(iii). If any Net Cash Proceeds are retained by the Company as provided above, then (a) if such Net Cash Proceeds are in excess of $1,000,000, the Company shall deposit such Net Cash Proceeds in a cash collateral account as provided in the Cash Collateral Account Agreement pending application of such Net Cash Proceeds to a Permitted Acquisition, and (b) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are not applied within the Proceeds Application Period to a Permitted Acquisition, the Company shall apply such Net Cash Proceeds to repay the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8(h) and if such Net Cash Proceeds are at such time held in such cash collateral account, the Administrative Agent is directed to so apply such Net Cash Proceeds. Upon expiration of the Proceeds Application Period with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds, any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that have not been applied within such Proceeds Application Period to a Permitted Acquisition shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.8(h) and Section 2.8(b)(iii). (ii) Promptly, but in any event within two Business Days after the sale, transfer or other disposition by the Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Original Closing Date (including, without limitation, any disposition accomplished by way of a merger, consolidation or a series of transactions) of any Non-broadcast Asset to any Person other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall make a mandatory payment in respect of the Obligations in an amount 34 equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds (after taxes, reasonable fees and reasonable and customary expenses incurred directly in connection therewith) realized from such sales, transfers or other dispositions occurring after the Original Closing Date, all as certified to by an Authorized Officer of the Company (collectively, "Net Non-broadcast Proceeds") in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8(b)(ii); provided that, if any Cash Equivalents are received as proceeds from any such sale, transfer or other disposition, the Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall cause all such Cash Equivalents to be converted into or reduced to cash within two Business Days after the date of any such sale, transfer or other disposition and all such cash proceeds of such Cash Equivalents shall be deemed to be "Net Non-broadcast Proceeds" for all purposes of this Section 2.8(b)(ii). The Company shall apply such Net Non-broadcast Proceeds within such two Business Days as set forth above to repay the principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding at such time to the extent such Net Non-broadcast Proceeds are not reinvested in a Permitted Non-broadcast Proceeds Application and a corresponding reserve against the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in an amount equal to the Net Non-broadcast Proceeds applied to the Revolving Loans (the "Non-broadcast Revolver Reserve") shall be created; provided that if no Revolving Loans are outstanding on such date or if the amount of the Net Non-broadcast Proceeds so received exceeds the amount of Revolving Loans outstanding on such date, then the Company may, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, retain such proceeds in an amount equal to the excess of the Net Non-broadcast Proceeds over the Revolving Loans then outstanding until such proceeds are reinvested in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8(b)(ii); provided that if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing on or after the date such excess proceeds would have been required to have been applied to repay the Revolving Loans, the Company shall apply such excess proceeds to repay the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.8(h). During the Non-broadcast Proceeds Application Period, the Company may provide one or more Borrowing Notices of Revolving Loans to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.5 which shall specify that the proceeds of such Revolving Loans will be invested in a Permitted Non-broadcast Proceeds Application (as all or a portion of the purchase price thereof), and subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4.2) the Lenders shall make such Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.1 in an aggregate amount necessary to finance such Permitted Non-broadcast Proceeds Application in an amount not greater than the Non-broadcast Revolver Reserve then in effect and the Non- broadcast Revolver Reserve shall be reduced during the Non-broadcast Proceeds Application Period each time a Revolving Loan is made in accordance with this Section 2.8(b)(ii) by the amount of such Revolving Loan; provided that, should the Non-broadcast Proceeds Application Period have expired before such a Revolving Loan is made with respect to the applicable portion of the Non- broadcast Revolver Reserve as set forth above in this Section 2.8(b)(ii), then an amount equal to such applicable portion of the Non-broadcast Revolver Reserve (as adjusted as described above) shall be applied to prepay the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8(h) and Section 2.8(b)(iii). If any Net Non-broadcast Proceeds are retained by the Company as provided above, then (a) if such Net Non-broadcast Proceeds are in excess of $1,000,000, the Company shall deposit such Net Non-broadcast Proceeds in a cash collateral account as provided in the Cash Collateral Account Agreement pending application of such Net Non-broadcast Proceeds to a Permitted Non-broadcast Proceeds Application, and (b) to the extent such Net Non-broadcast Proceeds are not applied within the Non-broadcast Proceeds Application Period to a Permitted Non- broadcast Proceeds Application, the Company shall apply such excess Net Non- broadcast Proceeds to prepay the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8(h) and if such Net Non-broadcast Proceeds are at such time held in such cash collateral account, the Administrative Agent is directed to so apply such Net Non-broadcast Proceeds. Upon expiration of the Non-broadcast Proceeds Application Period with respect to any Net Non-broadcast Proceeds, any portion of such Net Non-broadcast Proceeds that have not been applied within such Non-broadcast Proceeds Application Period to a Permitted Non-broadcast Proceeds 35 Application shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.8(h) and Section 2.8(b)(iii). (iii) If the Revolver Reserve or the Non-broadcast Revolver Reserve is to be applied as provided in this Section 2.8(b) as a mandatory prepayment in accordance with Section 2.8(h), the Company shall be deemed to have requested Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the Revolver Reserve or the Non-broadcast Revolver Reserve, as the case may be, and such Loans shall be made regardless of any failure of the Company to meet the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2. (c) [omitted] (d) Within seven Business Days of the receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Debt Cash Proceeds, the Company shall make a mandatory prepayment with respect to the Obligations in an amount equal to (i) 50% of the amount by which the sum of such Debt Cash Proceeds and all other Debt Cash Proceeds received after June 12, 1996, exceeds $100,000,000 in the aggregate minus (ii) the aggregate amount of Loans prepaid under this Section 2.8(d) since June 12, 1996; PROVIDED that if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date any Debt Cash Proceeds are received or on the date any Indebtedness with respect thereto is issued or would result from the issuance of any such Indebtedness, then the Company shall make a mandatory prepayment with respect to the Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of such Debt Cash Proceeds (irrespective of the $100,000,000 limitation). Any prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to this subsection (d) shall be applied as set forth in subsection (h) below. (e) Within 90 days of the end of any fiscal year of the Company, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997, the Company shall make a mandatory prepayment with respect to the Obligations in an amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow of the Company for such fiscal year, provided, however, with respect to Excess Cash Flow, no such mandatory prepayment shall be required if, for the two consecutive quarters ending on the last day of such fiscal year (i) the Leverage Ratio shall have been less than 5.5 to 1.00 and (ii) the Senior Leverage Ratio shall have been less than 4.0 to 1.00. Any prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to this subsection (e) shall be applied as set forth in subsection (h) below.

(g) The Company shall make a mandatory payment with respect to the Obligations in an amount equal to any proceeds received by the Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from casualty, damage, boiler, machinery and business interruption insurance or from any condemnation claim or award if and to the extent that such proceeds, claims or awards are not promptly applied to the restoration, repair or replacement of the properties so affected, and in any event to the extent that such proceeds, claims or awards have not been so applied in full within 180 days of receipt thereof.

With respect to any such mandatory reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Commitment Reduction Amount for each Revolving Loan Commitment Reduction Date occurring after the date of such mandatory payment shall be reduced in an amount equal to the product of the amount of such mandatory reduction TIMES the ratio (expressed as a percentage) that such Revolving Loan Commitment Reduction Amount bears to the sum of all of the Revolving Loan Commitment Reduction Amounts remaining prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date. (i) Mandatory payments made pursuant to this Section 2.8 of the Term A Loans, the Term B Loans or the Revolving Loans shall be accomplished by the payment first of such Loans or portion thereof constituting Floating Rate Loans and second by the payment of such Loans or portion thereof constituting Eurodollar Loans.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to obtain from the appropriate Persons the necessary consents and approvals, if any: (1) for the transfer of control, if required for the effectuation of clause (2) below, to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their respective nominees or transferees upon the occurrence of 41 a Default, of any permit, license or authorization in respect of the operation of any Radio Station; (2) for the effectuation of any sale or sales of Pledged Stock (as defined in the Parent Pledge Agreement, the Company Pledge Agreement and/or the Subsidiary Pledge Agreements) upon the occurrence of a Default; and (3) for the exercise of any other right or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Collateral Document, applicable law or otherwise. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will cooperate with the Company in preparing the filing with the FCC and any other Persons of all requisite applications required to be obtained by the Company under this Section 2.18. Section 2.19 USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company shall use the Letters of Credit and the proceeds of the Revolving Loans for general corporate purposes, including the financing of Permitted Acquisitions. The proceeds of the Term A Loans and the Term B Loans were used on the Effectiveness Date as contemplated by Section 6 of the Effectiveness Agreement. Section 2.20 ISSUANCE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT, ETC. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and from time to time from the Original Closing Date through the day prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date, each Issuing Bank shall issue such Letters of Credit as the Company may request by an L/C Application; provided that, after giving effect to such Letter of Credit, (x) the SUM of the aggregate L/C Obligations then outstanding PLUS the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment MINUS any Revolver Reserve and any Non- broadcast Revolver Reserve in effect at such time, and (y) the aggregate L/C Obligations then outstanding shall not exceed $30,000,000. Unless all the Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment and the applicable Issuing Bank otherwise consent in writing, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed 12 months. No Letter of Credit shall expire by its terms after the Revolving Loan Termination Date. (b) The Company shall submit the L/C Application for the Issuance of any Letter of Credit to the applicable Issuing Bank in accordance with such Issuing Bank's applicable procedures then in effect. Upon Issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Lenders of the amount and terms thereof. (c) Upon the Issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender that has a Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased a pro rata participation, from the applicable Issuing Bank in an amount equal to that Lender's Pro Rata Share, in such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender's participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the applicable Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed by the Company for any payment required to be made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall, pro rata according to its Pro Rata Share, reimburse such Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for the amount of such payment. The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default, an Unmatured Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit together with interest as hereinafter provided. Each Lender that has reimbursed an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) for its Pro Rata Share of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such reimbursement, in the claim of such Issuing Bank against the Company under this Section 2.20. 42 (d) Upon the making of any payment with respect to any Letter of Credit by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Company shall be deemed to have submitted a Borrowing Notice for a Revolving Loan consisting of a Floating Rate Loan in the amount of such payment, and the Administrative Agent shall without notice to or the consent of the Company request Revolving Loans to be made by the Lenders in an aggregate amount equal to the amount paid by such Issuing Bank on that Letter of Credit, and for this purpose, the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV shall not apply. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be paid to the applicable Issuing Bank (and, on a pro rata basis, to Lenders that have previously reimbursed such Issuing Bank in respect of such payment under paragraph (c) above) to reimburse it for the payment made by it under such Letter of Credit. Promptly following any Revolving Loans made under this Section 2.20, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company thereof. (e) To the extent that any Loans made pursuant to Section 2.20(d) are insufficient to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank in full, the Company agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit, within one Business Day after demand therefor, a principal amount equal to such unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under that Letter of Credit, together with interest on such amount from the date of any payment made by such Issuing Bank through the date of payment by the Company at the Default Rate. The principal amount of any such payment made by the Company to any Issuing Bank shall be used to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the payment made by it under the related Letter of Credit. (f) The Issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the Issuance of a new Letter of Credit. Section 2.21 LETTER OF CREDIT FEES. The Company shall pay (i) a letter of credit fee to the Administrative Agent equal to the product of (A) the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Loans for the Revolving Loans minus 0.125%, multiplied by (B) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit per annum for the term of each Letter of Credit, payable in advance, for the account of the Lenders who have Revolving Loan Commitments, according to their respective Pro Rata Shares and (ii) an issuance fee to the Administrative Agent of 0.125% of the stated amount of each Letter of Credit, payable in advance for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank. Upon (A) the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Company shall also pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank an amount equal to the greater of (i) $500 or (ii) the issuance fees; (B) the amendment of each Letter of Credit, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank the amendment fees, in each case, as the applicable Issuing Bank normally charges in connection with a Letter of Credit and activity pursuant thereto, in either case which fees shall be solely for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank; and (C) the incurrence of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the maintenance of any Letter of Credit, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank the amount of such out-of-pocket costs and expenses so incurred. Section 2.22 OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY ABSOLUTE, ETC. The obligation of the Company to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of 43 Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable. Without limiting the foregoing, such obligation of the Company shall not be affected by any of the following circumstances: (1) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (2) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (3) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other rights which the Company may have at any time against any issuing Bank, any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary may be acting) or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transactions; (4) any demand, statement or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever so long as any such document appeared to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (5) payment by any Issuing Bank in good faith under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or any accompanying document which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (6) the solvency or financial responsibility of any party issuing any documents in connection with a Letter of Credit; (7) any error in the transmission of any message relating to a Letter of Credit not caused by the applicable Issuing Bank, or any delay or interruption in any such message; (8) any error, neglect or default of any correspondent of any Issuing Bank in connection with a Letter of Credit; (9) any consequence arising from acts of God, war, insurrection, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency conditions or other causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; (10) the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or document referred to in any document submitted to the applicable Issuing Bank in connection with a Letter of Credit; and (11) any other circumstances whatsoever. (b) Each Issuing Bank shall be entitled to the protection accorded to the Agents pursuant to Section 10, MUTATIS MUTANDIS. Section 2.23 CASH COLLATERAL. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any L/C Application, after the occurrence and during the continuance of Default, the Company shall, upon the Administrative Agent's demand, deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders cash, 44 or other collateral of a type satisfactory to the Required Lenders, having a value (if other than cash), as determined by such Lenders, equal to the aggregate outstanding L/C Obligations. Article III CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES Section 3.1 YIELD PROTECTION. If any law or any governmental rule, regulation, policy guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any regulatory interpretation thereof, or compliance by any Lender with such (which has been adopted or changed after the date hereof), (i) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Office (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Loan) or any Issuing Bank, or (ii) imposes any other condition which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Office or any Issuing Bank of making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Office or any Issuing Bank in connection with any Eurodollar Loan or Letter of Credit, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Office or any Issuing Bank to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of any Eurodollar Loan or Letter of Credit made, issued, maintained or participated in or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or Issuing Bank, or (iii) affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or Lending Office or any Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling any Lender or any Issuing Bank and such Lender or such Issuing Bank determines the amount of capital required is increased by or based upon the existence of this Agreement, the Loans, any Letters of Credit or commitments of this type, then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender or such Issuing Bank made together with the presentation to the Company of a certificate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank complying with Section 3.5, the Company shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank that portion of such increased expense incurred (including, in the case of Section 3.1(iii), any reduction in the rate of return on capital to an amount below that which it or its controlling corporation could have achieved but for such change in regulation after taking into account such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's controlling corporation's policies as to capital adequacy) or reduction in an amount received which such Lender or such Issuing Bank reasonably determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining such Lender's or Issuing Bank's Commitments and the Obligations owing to it. Section 3.2 TAXES. (a) Except as required by law, all payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, or withholdings, imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority after the Original Closing Date as a result of the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or determination of such 45 Governmental Authority, BUT EXCLUDING (i) net income, franchise and branch profits taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or a Lender or any Issuing Bank by (x) the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, (y) the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Issuing Bank is organized or in which it has its principal office or is managed and controlled or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or (z) any jurisdiction in which the Lending Office of any Lender making and maintaining Loans to the Company, is located or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, and (ii) any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings arising after the date of this Agreement, solely as the immediate result of such Lender (x) changing its designated Lending Office as of the Original Closing Date to a Lending Office located in any other jurisdiction or (y) designating an additional Lending Office located in any other jurisdiction (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deduction and withholdings being called "Taxes"). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Issuing Bank (after payment of all Taxes, including Taxes attributable to such increase, and free and clear of all liability, including, without limitation, interest and penalties, in respect of such Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Company, the Company shall pay such Taxes in a timely manner and promptly deliver official receipts therefor (or certified copies thereof if such receipts are not available) to the Administrative Agent. If the Company fails to pay Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, the Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender and Issuing Bank for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any Issuing Bank as a result of any such failure together with any expenses payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any Issuing Bank in connection therewith. If the Company is required to make any additional payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.2, and such Lender or such Issuing Bank receives a credit against or relief or remission for, or repayment of, any tax paid or payable by it in respect of, or calculated with reference to, the Taxes giving rise to such payment, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall, within a reasonable time of the date on which it receives such credit, relief, remission or repayment, use its reasonable efforts to reimburse the Company the amount of the net benefit it receives as a result of any such credit, relief, remission or repayment (as determined by such Lender or such Issuing Bank) to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender's or Issuing Bank's internal policies. If any Taxes constituting a withholding tax of the United States of America or any other Governmental Authority shall be or become applicable, after the Original Closing Date, to such payments by the Company to a Lender, such Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender's internal policies, use its reasonable efforts to make, fund and maintain its Loans through a Lending Office of such Lender located in another jurisdiction so as to reduce the Company's liability hereunder, provided that such Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that the making, funding or maintenance of such Loans through such other Lending Office would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Loans or such Lender. (b) Prior to or at the Original Closing Date, each Lender or Issuing Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will deliver to the Company) in the case of a Lender or Issuing Bank that is a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender or Issuing Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of 46 any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) each Lender and Issuing Bank will deliver to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will deliver to the Company) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. In the case of any Lender that is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver (i) a representation letter to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Company) stating that such Lender or Issuing Bank is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code and (ii) two (2) accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W- 8, certifying that such Lender or Issuing Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender and Issuing Bank that is a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code which delivers to the Company and the Administrative Agent a Form 1001 or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9 pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes, if requested by the Company, to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two further copies of said statement or Form 1001 or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such statement or form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent statement or form previously delivered by it to the Company, and such extension or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Company, certifying in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224 that such Lender or Issuing Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent a Lender or Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent from duly completing and delivering any such statement or form with respect to it and such Lender or Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent advises the Company that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax and, in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Lender or Issuing Bank that is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code will (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Company), to the extent legally entitled to do so, and if requested by the Company, provide to the Company two further copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 and an updated representation letter stating that such Lender or Issuing Bank is not a "bank" under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code and such other forms as may be required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender or Issuing Bank to an exemption from withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement. The Company shall not be required to pay any increased amount on account of Taxes pursuant to this Section 3.2 to any Lender, Issuing Bank, Transferee or Administrative Agent that fails to furnish any form or statement that it was required to furnish in accordance with this Section 3.2 or Section 12.3.3, and, to the extent required by law, the Company shall be entitled to deduct Taxes from the payments owed to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Transferee or Administrative Agent. Section 3.3 AVAILABILITY OF RATE OPTIONS. If any Lender determines that maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable Lending Office would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or determines that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund any Eurodollar Loan are not available or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, then (unless such unavailability or inaccuracy results solely from a deterioration in the creditworthiness of such Lender subsequent to the date hereof) the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Loans from such Lender and require the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Loan by such Lender then outstanding to 47 be changed to the Floating Rate and each such Lender's Pro Rata Share shall be adjusted as applicable in accordance therewith. Section 3.4 FUNDING INDEMNIFICATION. If any payment or conversion in respect of any Eurodollar Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or if an Advance related to, or conversion from or into or in continuation of, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Company will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom upon request by such Lender accompanied by a certificate complying with Section 3.5 below. Section 3.5 LENDER CERTIFICATES; SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITY. To the extent reasonably possible, so long as the Company has any liquidated liability to any Lender under Section 3.1, such Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any such liability, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank as to the amount due under Section 3.1 or 3.4 (which certificate shall, if so requested by the Company, include an explanation of the basis used by such Lender or Issuing Bank in calculating such amount) shall be delivered within one hundred and twenty 120 days after a responsible account officer of the Lender or Issuing Bank obtains actual knowledge of the event giving rise thereto and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Company in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with any Lender's Eurodollar Loans shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Advance through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the certificate shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Company of the certificate. The obligations of the Company under Sections 3.1 and 3.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Article IV CONDITIONS PRECEDENT Section 4.1 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ALL LOANS.

All the certificates and other documents and papers referred to in this Article IV, unless otherwise specified, shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of each of the Lenders and in sufficient counterparts for each of the Lenders, and shall be satisfactory in form and substance to each Lender in its sole discretion.

For the purposes of paragraph (f) of this Section 6.13 and this paragraph (c); the "Station Broadcast Cash Flow" of each Radio Station or Television Station disposed of shall mean the Broadcast Cash Flow of such station for the four-quarter period ended immediately prior to the date such station was disposed of or is currently proposed to be disposed of.

In the event all or part of the consideration for the disposition of any radio station described in clause (ii) above is received in cash and such cash is used within 180 days of receipt thereof to acquire any radio property or Television Station acquired pursuant to Section 6.15 and satisfying section (f) of the definition of Permitted Acquisition (any such Television Station, a "Permitted Television Station"), the radio station initially disposed of shall be deemed to have been swapped for such newly acquired radio property or Permitted Television Station as of the date of such acquisition in a Permitted Swap Disposition. Any assets received in connection with a Permitted Swap Disposition shall have a Fair Market Value, determined in good faith by the Company, at least equal to the assets transferred by the Company and its Subsidiaries as a result of such Permitted Swap Disposition; for purposes of calculating compliance with the 15% and 30% limits set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of paragraph (c) above to the extent that such consideration is not reinvested as provided for in this clause (e), the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have disposed of a portion of the Station Broadcast Cash Flow of each Television Station or radio station transferred by them in any Permitted Swap Disposition equal to the percentage of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all the consideration received by any of them in such Permitted Swap Disposition that is represented by cash or consideration other than radio properties or Television Stations at the time of such determination; (f) Dispositions of Television Stations after the Effectiveness Date that have Station Broadcast Cash Flow not exceeding $15,000,000 in the aggregate ("Excluded Television Station Sales"); and (g) Dispositions constituting Tower Leases, provided that each Tower Lease is subject and subordinate to the mortgage of the Lenders on the applicable tower. The Lenders hereby authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to enter into any agreement of quiet enjoyment or non-disturbance the Administrative Agent believes necessary or appropriate in connection with any Tower Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Disposition shall be permitted under clauses (b) through (g) above (i) if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or a Default or Unmatured Default shall result therefrom and (ii) unless the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that the Company or such Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, receives Fair Market Value for such Disposition, it being understood that in the event a qualified intermediary is used in connection with any Disposition, the determination of Fair Market Value shall be determined based upon the consideration initially received by the qualified intermediary from the third party. All of the net cash proceeds of any Disposition shall be applied as specified in Section 2.8, and all other proceeds shall be pledged to the Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations, and when and as such proceeds are reduced to cash, such cash shall be applied as specified in Section 2.8; provided that, if any Cash Equivalents are received as proceeds from any such Disposition, all such Cash Equivalents must be converted into or reduced to cash within two (2) Business Days after the date of any such Disposition and such cash proceeds must immediately be applied as specified in Section 2.8(b).

In the event that the Leverage Ratio would be 5.5 to 1 or greater or the Senior Leverage Ratio would be 4.0 to 1 or greater, in each case on a PRO FORMA basis as so determined for such day and period, the maximum aggregate amount of assets that may be held in qualified intermediaries after giving effect to such Disposition shall be $50,000,000, PROVIDED that in connection with the Par/Entercom and the Q-102 transactions described on Schedule 1.2 hereto (a) a maximum aggregate amount of up to $61,000,000 may be deposited with qualified intermediaries at any one time consisting solely of up to $16,000,000 in respect of the Q-102 transaction and up to $45,000,000 in respect of such Par/Entercom transaction and (b) during the period beginning five Business Days before the date of the closing of the Par acquisition described on Schedule 1.2 hereto and ending on such date an additional amount of up to $27,000,000 may be deposited with qualified intermediaries in respect of the Par/Entercom transaction.

If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a participation in the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action as shall be necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans.

Section 12.2 PARTICIPATIONS. 89 12.2.1. PERMITTED PARTICIPANTS; EFFECT. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities ("Participants") participating interests in any Loan made by such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that any such Participant shall agree in writing to be bound by Sections 12.4 and 12.5. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the Lender in respect of such interests for all purposes under the Loan Documents, and the Company and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, provided that such Lender shall provide notice to the Company of such sale to a Participant which is not an Affiliate of such selling Lender, a Lender or an Affiliate thereof following any such sale and such Lender shall comply with Sections 12.4 and 12.5 with respect to confidential information. 12.2.2.

BENEFIT OF SETOFF AND INDEMNITIES. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant, except to the extent such Participant has exercised its right of setoff. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender. The Company also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 with respect to its participation; provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. Section 12.3 ASSIGNMENTS. 12.3.1 PERMITTED ASSIGNMENTS.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Company or any holder of Stock may deposit such Stock under this Deposit Agreement by delivery to the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for the Stock to be deposited, properly endorsed or accompanied, if required by the Depositary, by a properly executed instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Depositary, together with (i) all such certifications as may be required by the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and (ii) a written order of the Company or such holder, as the case may be, directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to or upon the written order of the person or persons stated in such order a Receipt or Receipts for the number of Depositary Shares representing such deposited Stock. Upon receipt by the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for Stock to be deposited hereunder, together with the other documents specified above, the Depositary shall, as soon as transfer and registration can be accomplished, present such certificate or certificates to the registrar and transfer agent of the Stock for transfer and registration in the name of the Depositary or its nominee of the Stock being deposited. Deposited Stock shall be held by the Depositary in an account to be established by the Depositary at the Corporate Office. Upon receipt by the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for Stock to be deposited hereunder, together with the other documents specified above, the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall execute and deliver, to or upon the order of the person or persons named in the written order delivered to the Depositary referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 2.2, a Receipt or Receipts for the number of whole Depositary Shares representing the Stock so deposited and registered in such name or names as may be requested by such person or persons. The Depositary shall execute and deliver such Receipt or Receipts at the New York Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of any person requesting such delivery and for the account of such person, such delivery may be made at such other place as may be designated by such person. In each case, delivery will be made only upon payment by such person to the Depositary of all taxes and other governmental charges and any fees payable in connection with such deposit and the transfer of the deposited Stock. The Company shall deliver to the Depositary from time to time such quantities of Receipts as the Depositary may request to enable the Depositary to perform its obligations under this Deposit Agreement. SECTION 2.3. REDEMPTION AND CONVERSION OF STOCK.(*) Whenever the Company shall elect to redeem or be required to convert shares of Stock into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Designations, the Company shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary in its capacity as Depositary not less than 5 business days' prior notice of the proposed date of the mailing of a notice of redemption or conversion of Stock and the simultaneous redemption or conversion of the 4 Depositary Shares representing the Stock to be redeemed or converted and of the number of such shares of Stock held by the Depositary to be redeemed or converted. The Depositary shall, as directed by the Company in writing, mail, first class postage prepaid, notice of the redemption or conversion of Stock and the proposed simultaneous redemption or conversion of the Depositary Shares representing the Stock to be redeemed or converted, not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or conversion of such Stock and Depositary Shares, to the record holders of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed or converted, at the addresses of such holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary; PROVIDED, that if the effectiveness of a Merger or Consolidation (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) makes it impracticable to provide at least 30 days' notice, the Depositary shall provide such notice as soon as practicable prior to such effectiveness. Any such notice shall also be published in the same manner as notices of redemption or conversion of Stock are required to be published pursuant to the Certificate of Designations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither failure to mail or publish any such notice to one or more such holders nor any defect in any notice shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption or conversion. The Company shall provide the Depositary with such notice, and each such notice shall state: the redemption or conversion date; the number of Depositary Shares to be redeemed or converted; if fewer than all the Depositary Shares held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of such Depositary Shares held by such holder to be so redeemed; in the case of a call for redemption, the call price payable upon redemption and the Current Market Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations to be used to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon redemption; whether the Company is exercising any option to deliver shares of Common Stock in lieu of any cash consideration pursuant to the Certificate of Designations and the Current Market Price to be used to calculate the number of such shares; the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares to be redeemed or converted are to be surrendered for redemption or conversion; whether the Company is depositing with a bank or trust company on or before the redemption or conversion date, the shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, payable by the Company and the proposed date of such deposit; the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends payable per share of Stock to be redeemed or converted to and including such redemption or conversion date, as the case may be, and that dividends in respect of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares to be redeemed or converted will cease to accrue on such redemption or conversion date (unless the Company shall default in delivering shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, at the time and place specified in such notice). On the date of any such redemption or conversion, the Depositary shall surrender the certificate or certificates held by the Depositary evidencing the number of shares of Stock to be redeemed or converted in the manner specified in the notice of redemption or conversion of Stock provided by the Company pursuant to the Certificate of Designations. The Depositary shall, thereafter, redeem or convert the number of Depositary Shares representing such redeemed or converted Stock upon the surrender of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares in the manner provided in the notice sent to record holders of Receipts; PROVIDED, that the Depositary shall have received, upon surrendering such certificate or certificates as aforesaid, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to convert or redeem such number of Depositary Shares (including, in the event that the Company elects pursuant to the Certificate of Designations to exercise any option to deliver shares of Common Stock in lieu of any cash consideration payable on the Effective Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) of 5 any Merger or Consolidation, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to such cash consideration (as determined in the manner set forth in the Certificate of Designations)), plus any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect thereto to and including the date of any such redemption or conversion and any other cash consideration payable on the Effective Date of a Merger or Consolidation (other than any dividends or other cash consideration payable on the Effective Date of a Merger or Consolidation that the Company has elected to pay in shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designations) as instructed and calculated by the Company. In case fewer than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Depositary by lot or on a pro rata basis. - ----------- (*) This section to be modified to discuss specific redemption or conversion terms of the Stock, if any. Notice having been mailed by the Depositary as aforesaid, from and after the redemption or conversion date (unless the Company shall have failed to redeem or convert the shares of Stock to be redeemed or converted by it upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates therefor by the Depositary as described in the preceding paragraph), the Depositary Shares called for redemption or subject to conversion shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, payable upon redemption or conversion upon surrender of such Receipts) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate. Upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be converted into or redeemed for shares of Common Stock at a rate equal to [FRACTION] of the number of shares of Common Stock delivered, and the holders thereof shall be entitled to [FRACTION] of the cash, if any, payable, in respect of the shares of Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designations. The foregoing shall be subject further to the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Designations. If fewer than all of the Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt are called for redemption, the Depositary will deliver to the holder of such Receipt upon its surrender to the Depositary, together with the shares of Common Stock and all accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the date fixed for redemption payable in respect of the Depositary Shares called for redemption, a new Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt and not called for redemption. To the extent that Depositary Shares are converted into or redeemed for shares of Common Stock and all of such shares of Common Stock cannot be distributed to the record holders of Receipts converted or called for redemption without creating fractional interests in such shares, the Depositary may, with the consent of the Company, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of such shares of Common Stock at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper, and the net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Section 3.2, be distributed or made available 6 for distribution to such record holders that would otherwise receive fractional interests in such shares of Common Stock. The Depositary shall not be required (a) to issue, transfer or exchange any Receipts for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days next preceding any selection of Depositary Shares and Stock to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of notice of redemption of Depositary Shares or (b) to transfer or exchange for another Receipt any Receipt evidencing Depositary Shares called or being called for redemption, in whole or in part, or subject to conversion except as provided in the second preceding paragraph of this Section 2.3. SECTION 2.4. REGISTER OF TRANSFER OF RECEIPTS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall register on its books from time to time transfers of Receipts upon any surrender thereof at the Corporate Office, the New York Office or such other office as the Depositary may designate for such purpose, by the record holder in person or by a duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer, together with evidence of the payment of any transfer taxes as may be required by law. Upon such surrender, the Depositary shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts and deliver the same to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered. SECTION 2.5. COMBINATION AND SPLIT-UPS OF RECEIPTS. Upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts at the Corporate Office, the New York Office or such other office as the Depositary may designate for the purpose of effecting a split-up or combination of Receipts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt or Receipts in the authorized denominations requested evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered; provided, however, that the Depositary shall not issue any Receipt evidencing a fractional Depositary Share. SECTION 2.6. SURRENDER OF RECEIPTS AND WITHDRAWAL OF STOCK.(*) Any holder of a Receipt or Receipts may withdraw any or all of the Stock (but only in whole shares of Stock) represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipts and all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares by surrendering such Receipt or Receipts at the Corporate Office, the New York Office or at such other office as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals. After such surrender, without unreasonable delay, the Depositary shall deliver to such holder, or to the person or persons designated by such holder as hereinafter provided, the whole number of shares of Stock and all such money and other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered for withdrawal. If the Receipt or Receipts delivered by the holder to the Depositary in connection with such withdrawal shall evidence a number of Depositary Shares in excess of the number of whole 7 Depositary Shares representing the whole number of shares of Stock to be withdrawn, the Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such whole number of shares of Stock and such money and other property, if any, to be withdrawn, deliver to such holder, or (subject to Section 2.4) upon his order, a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing such excess number of whole Depositary Shares. Delivery of the Stock and such money and other property being withdrawn may be made by the delivery of such certificates, documents of title and other instruments as the Depositary may deem appropriate, which, if required by the Depositary, shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. - ----------- (*) This Section to be modified to reflect any restrictions on withdrawal of underlying securities. If the Stock and the money and other property being withdrawn are to be delivered to a person or persons other than the record holder of the Receipt or Receipts being surrendered for withdrawal of Stock, such holder shall execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order so directing the Depositary and the Depositary may require that the Receipt or Receipts surrendered by such holder for withdrawal of such shares of Stock be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer in blank and that the signature on such instrument of transfer be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution (banks, stockbrokers, savings and loan associations and credit unions with membership in an approved signature guarantee medallion program) pursuant to Rule 17Ad-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Depositary shall deliver the Stock and the money and other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts surrendered for withdrawal, without unreasonable delay, at the office at which such Receipts were surrendered, except that, at the request, risk and expense of the holder surrendering such Receipt or Receipts and for the account of the holder thereof, such delivery may be made, without unreasonable delay, at such other place as may be designated by such holder. SECTION 2.7. LIMITATIONS ON EXECUTION AND DELIVERY, TRANSFER, SPLIT-UP, COMBINATION, SURRENDER AND EXCHANGE OF RECEIPTS AND WITHDRAWAL OR DEPOSIT OF STOCK. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any Receipt, the delivery of any distribution thereon or the withdrawal or deposit of Stock, the Depositary, any of the Depositary's Agents or the Company may require any or all of the following: (i) payment to it of a sum sufficient for the payment (or, in the event that the Depositary or the Company shall have made such payment, the reimbursement to it) of any tax or other governmental charge with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge with respect to the Stock being deposited or withdrawn or with respect to the Common Stock or other securities or property of the Company being issued upon conversion or redemption); (ii) production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature; and (iii) compliance with such reasonable regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the Company may establish not inconsistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement. 8 The deposit of Stock may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against Stock or the registration of transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of outstanding Receipts and the withdrawal of deposited Stock may be suspended (i) during any period when the register of stockholders of the Company is closed, (ii) if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary's Agents or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or under any provision of this Deposit Agreement, or (iii) with the approval of the Company, for any other reason. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Depositary shall not knowingly accept for deposit under this Deposit Agreement any shares of Stock that are required to be registered under the Securities Act unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect as to such shares of Stock. SECTION 2.8. LOST RECEIPTS, ETC. In case any Receipt shall be mutilated or destroyed or lost or stolen, the Depositary shall execute and deliver a Receipt of like form and tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Receipt or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt unless the Depositary has notice that such Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser; provided, however, that the holder thereof provides the Depositary with (i) evidence satisfactory to the Depositary of such destruction, loss or theft of such Receipt, of the authenticity thereof and of his ownership thereof, (ii) reasonable indemnification satisfactory to the Depositary or the payment of any charges incurred by the Depositary in obtaining insurance in lieu of such indemnification and (iii) payment of any expense (including fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary) in connection with such execution and delivery. SECTION 2.9. CANCELLATION AND DESTRUCTION OF SURRENDERED RECEIPTS. All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary or any Depositary's Agent shall be canceled by the Depositary. Except as prohibited by applicable law or regulation, the Depositary is authorized to destroy such Receipts so cancelled. ARTICLE III CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF HOLDERS OF RECEIPTS AND THE COMPANY SECTION 3.1. FILING PROOFS, CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION. Any person presenting Stock for deposit or any holder of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file such proof of residence or other information, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties as the Depositary or the Company may reasonably deem necessary or proper. The Depositary or the Company may withhold or delay the delivery of any Receipt, the registration of transfer, redemption, conversion or exchange of any Receipt, the 9 withdrawal of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by any Receipt or the distribution of any dividend or other distribution until such proof or other information is filed, such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties are made. SECTION 3.2. PAYMENT OF TAXES OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL CHARGES. If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable by or on behalf of the Depositary with respect to (i) any Receipt, (ii) the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt, (iii) the Stock (or fractional interest therein) or other property represented by such Depositary Shares, or (iv) any transaction referred to in Section 4.6, such tax (including transfer, issuance or acquisition taxes, if any) or governmental charge shall be payable by the holder of such Receipt, who shall pay the amount thereof to the Depositary. Until such payment is made, registration of transfer of any Receipt or any split-up or combination thereof or any withdrawal of the Stock or money or other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be refused, any dividend or other distribution may be withheld and any part or all of the Stock or other property (including Common Stock received in connection with a conversion or redemption of Stock) represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be sold for the account of the holder thereof (after attempting by reasonable means to notify such holder prior to such sale). Any dividend or other distribution so withheld and the proceeds of any such sale may be applied to any payment of such tax or other governmental charge, the holder of such Receipt remaining liable for any deficiency. SECTION 3.3. WITHHOLDING. The Depositary shall act as the tax withholding agent for any payments, distributions and exchanges made with respect to the Depositary Shares and Receipts, and the Stock, Common Stock or other securities or assets represented thereby (collectively, the "Securities"). The Depositary shall be responsible with respect to the Securities for the timely (i) collection and deposit of any required withholding or backup withholding tax, and (ii) filing of any information returns or other documents with federal (and other applicable) taxing authorities. SECTION 3.4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AS TO STOCK. In the case of the initial deposit of the Stock, the Company and, in the case of subsequent deposits thereof, each person so depositing Stock under this Deposit Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Stock and each certificate therefor are valid and that the person making such deposit is duly authorized to do so. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of the Stock and the issuance of Receipts therefor. 10 ARTICLE IV THE STOCK, NOTICES SECTION 4.1. CASH DISTRIBUTIONS. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Section 3.2, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 such amounts of such sum as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders; provided, however, that in case the Company or the Depositary shall be required by law to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of the Stock an amount on account of taxes, the amount made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute or make available for distribution, as the case may be, only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any owner of Depositary Shares a fraction of one cent and any balance not so distributable shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to and be treated as part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to record holders of Receipts then outstanding. SECTION 4.2. DISTRIBUTIONS OTHER THAN CASH. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash, rights, preferences or privileges upon the Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Section 3.2, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 such amounts of the securities or property received by it as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders, in any manner that the Depositary and the Company may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution. If, in the opinion of the Company after consultation with the Depositary, such distribution cannot be made proportionately among such record holders, or if for any other reason (including any tax withholding or securities law requirement), the Depositary deems, after consultation with the Company, such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Company which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Section 3.2, be distributed or made available for distribution, as the case may be, by the Depositary to record holders of Receipts as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash. 11 SECTION 4.3. SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS, PREFERENCES OR PRIVILEGES. If the Company shall at any time offer or cause to be offered to the persons in whose names Stock is registered on the books of the Company any rights, preferences or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any rights, preferences or privileges of any other nature, such rights, preferences or privileges shall in each such instance be made available by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts in such manner as the Company shall instruct (including by the issue to such record holders of warrants representing such rights, preferences or privileges); provided, however, that (a) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Company determines and instructs the Depositary that it is not lawful or feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available to some or all holders of Receipts (by the issue of warrants or otherwise) or (b) if and to the extent instructed by holders of Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges, the Depositary shall then, in each case, and if applicable laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or privileges so permit, sell such rights, preferences or privileges of such holders at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall be distributed by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash. If registration under the Securities Act of the securities to which any rights, preferences or privileges relate is required in order for holders of Receipts to be offered or sold such securities, the Company shall promptly file a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act with respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and securities and use its best efforts and take all steps available to it to cause such registration statement to become effective sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. In no event shall the Depositary make available to the holders of Receipts any right, preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless and until such registration statement shall have become effective or unless the offering and sale of such securities to such holders are exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act. If any other action under the law of any jurisdiction or any governmental or administrative authorization, consent or permit is required in order for such rights, preferences or privileges to be made available to holders of Receipts, the Company agrees with the Depositary that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take such action or obtain such authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. SECTION 4.4. NOTICE OF DIVIDENDS, FIXING OF RECORD DATE FOR HOLDERS OF RECEIPTS. Whenever (i) any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable, or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or any rights, preferences or privileges shall at any time be offered, with respect to the Stock, or (ii) the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting at which holders of Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of Stock are entitled to notice or of 12 the mandatory conversion of, or any election on the part of the Company to call for the redemption of, any shares of Stock, the Depositary shall in each such instance fix a record date (which shall be the same date as the record date fixed by the Company with respect to the Stock) for the determination of the holders of Receipts (x) who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or (y) who shall be entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or to receive notice of such meeting or of such conversion or redemption. SECTION 4.5. VOTING RIGHTS. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the record holders of Receipts a notice, which shall be provided by the Company and which shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting, (ii) a statement that the holders of Receipts at the close of business on a specified record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Certificate of Designations, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the Stock represented by their respective Depositary Shares and (iii) a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of a holder of a Receipt on such record date, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. The Company hereby agrees to take all reasonable action that may be deemed necessary by the Depositary in order to enable the Depositary to vote such Stock or cause such Stock to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from the holder of a Receipt, the Depositary will abstain from voting to the extent of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt. SECTION 4.6. CHANGES AFFECTING STOCK AND RECLASSIFICATIONS, RECAPITALIZATIONS, ETC. Upon any split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of Stock, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation affecting the Company or to which it is a party (other than a Merger or Consolidation) or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, the Depositary shall treat any shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) that shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon conversion of or in respect of the Stock as new deposited property under this Deposit Agreement, and Receipts then outstanding shall thenceforth represent the proportionate interests of holders thereof in the new deposited property so received in exchange for or upon conversion or in respect of such Stock. In any such case the Depositary may, in its discretion, with the approval of the Company, execute and deliver additional Receipts, or may call for the surrender of all outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new deposited property. 13 SECTION 4.7. REPORTS. The Depositary shall make available for inspection by holders of Receipts at the Corporate Office, the New York Office and at such other places as it may from time to time deem advisable during normal business hours any reports and communications received from the Company that are received by the Depositary as the holder of Stock. SECTION 4.8. LISTS OF RECEIPT HOLDERS. Promptly upon request from time to time by the Company, the Depositary shall furnish to it a list, as of a recent date, of the names, addresses and holdings of Depositary Shares of all persons in whose names Receipts are registered on the books of the Depositary. At the expense of the Company, the Company shall have the right to inspect transfer and registration records of the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent or the Registrar, take copies thereof and require the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent or the Registrar to supply copies of such portions of such records as the Company may request. ARTICLE V THE DEPOSITARY, THE DEPOSITARY'S AGENTS, THE REGISTRAR AND THE COMPANY SECTION 5.1. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICES, AGENCIES, TRANSFER BOOKS BY THE DEPOSITARY; THE REGISTRAR.

The Depositary shall keep books at the Corporate Office for the registration and transfer of Receipts, which books at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the record holders of Receipts; provided that any such holder requesting to exercise such right shall certify to the Depositary that such inspection shall be for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as an owner of Depositary Shares. The Depositary shall consult with the Company upon receipt of any request for inspection. The Depositary may close such books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder. 14 If the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby or the Stock represented by such Depositary Shares shall be listed on one or more stock exchanges, the Depositary shall, with the approval of the Company, appoint a Registrar for registry of such Receipts or Depositary Shares in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or exchanges. Such Registrar (which may be the Depositary if so permitted by the requirements of such exchange or exchanges) may be removed and a substitute registrar appointed by the Depositary upon the request or with the approval of the Company. In addition, if the Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Stock are listed on one or more stock exchanges, the Depositary will, at the request of the Company, arrange such facilities for the delivery, registration, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange, split-up, combination, redemption or conversion of such Receipts, such Depositary Shares or such Stock as may be required by law or applicable stock exchange regulations. SECTION 5.2. PREVENTION OR DELAY IN PERFORMANCE BY THE DEPOSITARY, THE DEPOSITARY'S AGENTS, THE REGISTRAR OR THE COMPANY. Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor the Registrar nor the Company shall incur any liability to any holder of any Receipt, if by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation thereunder of the United States of America or of any other governmental authority or, in the case of the Depositary, the Registrar or any Depositary's Agent, by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Certificate of Designations or, in the case of the Company, the Depositary, the Registrar or any Depositary's Agent, by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstances beyond the control of the relevant party, the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, the Registrar or the Company shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing that the terms of this Deposit Agreement provide shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, the Registrar or the Company incur any liability to any holder of a Receipt (i) by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing that the terms of this Deposit Agreement provide shall or may be done or performed, or (ii) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Deposit Agreement except, in the case of the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent or the Registrar, if any such exercise or failure to exercise discretion is caused by its negligence or bad faith. SECTION 5.3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE DEPOSITARY, THE DEPOSITARY'S AGENTS, THE REGISTRAR AND THE COMPANY. The Company assumes no obligation and shall be subject to no liability under this Deposit Agreement or the Receipts to holders or other persons, except to perform in good faith such obligations as are specifically set forth and undertaken by it to perform in this Deposit Agreement.

It is intended that neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent shall be deemed to be an "issuer" of the Stock, the Depositary Shares, the Receipts or the Common Stock issued upon conversion or redemption of the Stock under the federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Depositary and any Depositary's Agent are acting only in a ministerial capacity as Depositary for the Stock; provided, however, that the Depositary agrees to comply with all information reporting and withholding requirements applicable to it under law or this Deposit Agreement in its capacity as Depositary. Neither the Depositary (or its officers, directors, employees or agents) nor any Depositary's Agent makes any representation or has any responsibility as to the validity of the Registration Statement pursuant to which the Depositary Shares are registered under the Securities Act, the Stock, the Depositary Shares or any instruments referred to therein or herein, or as to the correctness of any statement made therein or herein; provided, however, that the Depositary is responsible for its representations in this Deposit Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the Receipts, the Depositary makes no warranties or representations as to the validity, genuineness or sufficiency of any Stock at any time deposited with the Depositary hereunder or of the Depositary Shares, as to the validity or sufficiency of this Deposit Agreement, as to the value of the Depositary Shares or as to any right, title or interest of the record holders of Receipts in and to the Depositary Shares except that the Depositary hereby represents and warrants as follows: (i) the Depositary has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [____________], with full power, authority and legal right under such law to execute, deliver and 16 carry out the terms of this Deposit Agreement; (ii) this Deposit Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Depositary; and (iii) this Deposit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Depositary, enforceable against the Depositary in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

If a successor depositary shall not have been appointed in 45 days, the resigning or removed Depositary may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor depositary. Every successor depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor and for all purposes shall be the Depositary under this Deposit Agreement, and such predecessor, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Company, shall promptly execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all rights, title and interest in the Stock and any moneys or property held hereunder to such successor and shall deliver to such successor a list of the record holders of all outstanding Receipts. Any successor depositary shall promptly mail notice of its appointment to the record holders of Receipts. Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be merged, consolidated or converted shall be the successor of such Depositary without the execution or filing of any document or any further act. Such successor depositary may execute the Receipts either in the name of the predecessor depositary or in the name of the successor depositary. 17 SECTION 5.5. CORPORATE NOTICES AND REPORTS. The Company agrees that it will deliver to the Depositary, and the Depositary will, promptly after receipt thereof, transmit to the record holders of Receipts, in each case at the address recorded in the Depositary's books, copies of all notices and reports (including financial statements) required by law, by the rules of any national securities exchange upon which the Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts are listed or by the Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designations to be furnished by the Company to holders of Stock. Such transmission will be at the Company's expense and the Company will provide the Depositary with such number of copies of such documents as the Depositary may reasonably request. In addition, the Depositary will transmit to the record holders of Receipts at the Company's expense such other documents as may be requested by the Company. SECTION 5.6. DEPOSIT OF STOCK BY THE COMPANY.

SECTION 5.7. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent and any Registrar against, and hold each of them harmless from, any liability, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may arise out of or in connection with its acting as Depositary, Depositary's Agent or Registrar, respectively, under this Deposit Agreement and the Receipts, except for any liability arising out of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any such person or persons.

No fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary or any Depositary's Agent hereunder or of any Registrar shall be payable by any person other than the Company, except for any taxes and other governmental charges and except as provided in this Deposit Agreement. If, at the request of a holder of a Receipt, the Depositary incurs fees, charges or expenses for which it is not otherwise liable hereunder, such holder or other person will be liable for such fees, charges and expenses. All other fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary and any Depositary's Agent hereunder and of any Registrar (including, in each case, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder will be paid from time to time upon consultation and agreement between the Depositary and the Company as to the amount and nature of such fees, charges and expenses. 18 ARTICLE VI AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION SECTION 6.1. AMENDMENT. The form of the Receipts and any provision of this Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Company and the Depositary in any respect that they may deem necessary or desirable.

Whenever so directed by the Company, the Depositary will terminate this Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the record holders of all Receipts then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination.

If any Receipts shall remain outstanding after the date of termination of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary thereafter shall discontinue the transfer of Receipts, shall suspend the distribution of dividends to the holders thereof and shall not give any further notices (other than notice of such termination) or perform any further acts under this Deposit Agreement, except as provided below and that the Depositary shall continue to collect dividends and other distributions pertaining to Stock, shall sell rights, preferences or privileges as provided in this Deposit Agreement and shall continue to deliver the Stock and any money and other property represented by Receipts, without liability for interest thereon, upon surrender thereof by the holders thereof.

After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement except to account for such net proceeds and money and other property.

Any such notice shall also be published in the same manner as notices of redemption or conversion of the Stock are required to be published pursuant to the Certificate of Designations.

Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms that are defined in the Registration Statement are used herein as so defined. As counsel for Jacor, JCC, and the Subsidiary Guarantors, we have examined such documents, records, and matters of law as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion. Based on such examination and on the assumptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that: 1. The Jacor Convertible Debt Securities, JCC Debt Securities, and JCC Convertible Debt Securities, when (a) duly executed by Jacor or JCC, as applicable, and authenticated by the Jacor Communications, Inc. April 18, 1997 Page 2 applicable Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Indenture and issued and sold in accordance with the Registration Statement and (b) delivered to the purchaser or purchasers thereof upon receipt by Jacor or JCC, as applicable, of such lawful consideration therefor as Jacor's or JCC's Board of Directors, as applicable (or a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized officer of Jacor or JCC, as applicable), may determine, will be valid and binding obligations of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, enforceable against Jacor or JCC, as applicable, in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the applicable Indenture, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except to the extent that a waiver of rights under any usury laws may be unenforceable. 2. The Jacor Common Stock, when (a) issued and sold in accordance with the Registration Statement and (b) delivered to the purchaser or purchasers thereof upon receipt by Jacor of such lawful consideration therefor as Jacor's Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized officer of Jacor) may determine, assuming that Jacor at such time has authorized, but unissued shares of Jacor Common Stock remaining under its Certificate of Incorporation, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. 3. The Jacor Preferred Stock and Jacor Convertible Preferred Stock, when (a) issued and sold in accordance with the Registration Statement and the provisions of an applicable Certificate of Designation that has been duly adopted by the Board of Directors of Jacor and duly filed in accordance with Delaware law and (b) delivered to the purchaser or purchasers thereof upon receipt by Jacor of such lawful consideration therefor as Jacor's Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof or a duly authorized officer of Jacor) may determine, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. 4. The Jacor Depositary Shares, when (a) the terms of the Jacor Depositary Shares and of their issuance and sale have been duly established in conformity with the deposit agreement relating to such Jacor Depositary Shares so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument then binding upon Jacor, (b) the Jacor Preferred Stock which is represented by Jacor Depositary Shares is validly issued and delivered (as contemplated above) to the depositary, (c) the depositary receipts evidencing the Jacor Depositary Shares are duly issued against the deposit of the Jacor Preferred Stock in accordance with the deposit agreement, and (d) the Jacor Depositary Shares are issued in the manner and for the consideration contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus contained therein, and the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Jacor Depositary Shares will be validly issued. Jacor Communications, Inc. April 18, 1997 Page 3 5. The Guarantees, when (a) the terms thereof have been duly established in accordance with applicable law, (b) the Jacor Convertible Debt Securities, JCC Debt Securities, and JCC Convertible Debt Securities to which the Guarantees relate have been duly executed, authenticated, and delivered and the purchase price therefor has been received by Jacor or JCC, as applicable, and (c) the consideration, if any, separately payable for the Guarantees has been received, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Jacor, JCC and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, enforceable against Jacor, JCC and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except to the extent that a waiver of rights under any usury laws may be unenforceable. In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have assumed that (i) the definitive terms of each class and series of the Securities not presently provided for in the applicable Indenture or Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation or JCC's Articles of Incorporation, as applicable, will have been established in accordance with all applicable provisions of law, the applicable Indenture, Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws or JCC's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as applicable, and the authorizing resolutions of Jacor's or JCC's Board of Directors, as applicable, and reflected in appropriate documentation approved by us and, if applicable, duly executed and delivered by Jacor or JCC, as applicable, and any other appropriate party, (ii) the interest rate on the Jacor Convertible Debt Securities, JCC Debt Securities or JCC Convertible Debt Securities will not be higher than the maximum lawful rate permitted from time to time under applicable law, (iii) any Securities consisting of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock, and any Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock for or into which any other Securities are exercisable, exchangeable, or convertible, will have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, (iv) the deposit agreement relating to the Depositary Shares will have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by, and will constitute a valid and binding obligation of, each party thereto, (v) the instruments relating to the Guarantees will have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by, and will constitute a valid and binding obligation of, each party thereto, (vi) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, will have become effective, (vii) a Prospectus Supplement describing each class or series of Securities offered pursuant to the Registration Statement will have been filed with the Commission, (viii) the resolutions authorizing Jacor, JCC, and the Subsidiary Guarantors to register, offer, sell, and issue the Securities will remain in effect and unchanged at all times during which the Securities are offered, sold, or issued by Jacor, JCC, and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and (ix) all Securities will be issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have relied as to certain factual matters upon certificates of officers of Jacor, JCC, and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and we have not independently Jacor Communications, Inc. April 18, 1997 Page 4 checked or verified the accuracy of the statements contained therein. In rendering the foregoing opinions, our examination of matters of law has been limited to the laws of the State of Ohio, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and the federal laws of the United States of America, as in effect on the date hereof. We understand that prior to offering for sale any Securities you will advise us in writing of the terms of such offering and of such Securities, will afford us an opportunity to review the operative documents (including the applicable Prospectus Supplement) pursuant to which the Securities are to be offered, sold, and issued, and will file as an exhibit to the Registration Statement such supplement or amendment to this opinion (if any) as we may reasonably consider necessary or appropriate by reason of the terms of such Securities or any changes in Jacor's, JCC's, or the Subsidiary Guarantors' capital structure or other pertinent circumstances. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and amendments thereto and to the reference to us in the Prospectus under the caption "Validity of Securities."
