i 4 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS All references to "we", "us", "our", "SBS" or "our company" in this report mean Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and all entities owned or controlled by Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. and, if prior to 1994, refer to our predecessor parent company Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc., a New Jersey corporation. Our executive offices are located at 2601 South Bayshore Drive, Coconut Grove, Florida 33133, and our telephone number is (305) 441-6901. SBS, founded in 1983 and incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1994, is the second largest Spanish-language radio broadcasting company in the United States. We currently own and operate 23 FM radio stations and one AM radio station. We operate an additional AM radio station under a time brokerage agreement. All 25 of our stations are located in eight of the largest Hispanic markets in the United States, including Los Angeles, Puerto Rico, New York, Miami, San Francisco, Chicago, San Antonio and Dallas. Our radio stations reach over 61% of the U.S. Hispanic population. Our WSKQ-FM station in New York is ranked in the Summer 2000 Arbitron(R) ratings as the number one station in its target demographic group (Hispanic men and women ages 18-49). Our strategy is to maximize the profitability of our radio station portfolio and to expand in our existing markets and into additional markets that have a significant Hispanic population. We believe that the favorable demographics of the U.S. Hispanic population and the rapid increase in advertising targeting Hispanics provide us with significant opportunities for growth. We also believe that we have competitive advantages in the radio industry due to our focus on formats targeting U.S. Hispanic audiences and our skill in programming and marketing to these audiences. Our Internet strategy is designed to complement our existing business and to enable us to capitalize on our U.S. Hispanic market expertise. In 1999 we purchased 80% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of JuJu Media, Inc., the owner of LaMusica.com, a bilingual Spanish-English Internet Web site and on-line community that focuses on the U.S. Hispanic market. LaMusica.com is a provider of original information and interactive content related to Latin music, entertainment, news and culture. LaMusica.com provides our advertisers with an additional means of reaching the U.S. Hispanic consumer markets and is a growing revenue source for us. SBS is led by Mr. Raul Alarcon, Jr., who became our Chairman of the Board of Directors when we completed our initial public offering on November 2, 1999 and has been Chief Executive Officer since June 1994, and President and a director since October 1985. The Alarcon family has been involved in Spanish-language radio broadcasting since the 1950's, when Mr. Raul Alarcon, Sr., our Chairman Emeritus and a member of our board of directors, established his first radio station in Camaguey, Cuba. Members of our senior management team, on average, have over 15 years of experience in Spanish-language media and radio broadcasting. BUSINESS STRATEGY We focus on maximizing the profitability of our radio station portfolio by strengthening the performance of our existing radio stations and making additional strategic station acquisitions in both our existing markets and in new markets that have a significant Hispanic population. In addition, we have implemented an Internet strategy in order to develop new revenue sources. OPERATING STRATEGY Our operating strategy focuses on maximizing our radio stations' appeal to our audience and our advertisers while minimizing operating expenses in order to increase revenue and cash flow. To achieve these goals, we focus on: Providing High-Quality Spanish-Language Programming. We format the programming of each of our stations to capture a significant share of the Spanish-language audience. We use market research, including 1 5 third party consultants and periodic music testing, to assess listener preferences in each station's target demographic audience. We then refine our programming to reflect the results of this research and testing. Because the U.S. Hispanic population is so diverse, consisting of numerous identifiable groups from many different countries of origin each with its own cultural and musical heritage, we strive to make ourselves intimately familiar with the musical tastes and the preferences of each of the various Hispanic ethnic groups and we customize our programming accordingly. Retaining Strong Local Management Teams. We employ local management teams in each of our markets who are responsible for the day-to-day operations of our radio stations. Our key local managers generally consist of a general station manager, general sales manager and programming director. Stations are staffed with managers who have experience and knowledge of the local radio market and the local Hispanic market. Because of the cultural diversity of the Hispanic population from region to region in the United States, most decisions regarding day-to-day programming, sales and promotional efforts are made by local managers. We believe this approach improves our flexibility and responsiveness to changing conditions in each of the markets we serve. Utilizing Aggressive Sales Efforts. Our sales force focuses on converting audience share into advertising revenue. In order to encourage an aggressive and focused sales force, we have developed compensation structures tied to advertising revenue. We seek to maximize our sales to national advertisers because national advertising generally commands a higher rate per advertising spot than does local advertising. We have attracted key sales executives from general market radio who have applied their expertise and relationships with the advertising community to increase our share of advertising from leading general market advertisers. We believe that our focused sales efforts are working to increase media spending targeted at the U.S. Hispanic consumer market and will enable us to continue to achieve significant revenue growth, and to narrow the gap between the level of advertising currently targeted at U.S. Hispanics and the potential buying power of the U.S. Hispanic population. Controlling Operating Costs. By employing a disciplined approach to operating our radio stations, we have been able to achieve operating margins which we believe are among the highest in the radio broadcast industry. We emphasize control of each station's operating costs through detailed budgeting, tight control over staffing levels and frequent expense analysis. While local management is responsible for the day-to-day operation of each station, corporate management is responsible for long-range and strategic planning, establishing policies and procedures, maximizing cost savings where centralized activity is appropriate, allocating resources and maintaining overall control of the stations. Making Effective Use of Promotions and Special Events. We believe that effective promotional efforts play a significant role in both adding new listeners and increasing listener loyalty. Our promotional and marketing campaigns focus on increasing Hispanic consumer awareness of advertisers' products and services. Our goal is to use our expertise at marketing to the Hispanic consumer in each of the markets in which we own and operate stations, thereby attracting a large share of advertising revenue. We have organized special promotional appearances, such as station van appearances at client events, concerts and tie-ins to major events which form an important part of our marketing strategy. Many of these events build advertiser loyalty because they enable us to offer advertisers an additional means of reaching the Hispanic consumer. In many instances, these events are co-sponsored by local television and newspapers, allowing our advertisers to reach a larger combined audience. Maintaining Strong Community Involvement. We have historically been, and will continue to be, actively involved within the local communities that we serve. Our radio stations participate in numerous community programs, fund-raisers and activities benefitting the local community and Hispanics abroad. Other examples of our community involvement include free public service announcements, free equal-opportunity employment announcements, tours and discussions held by radio station personalities with school and community groups designed to limit drug and gang involvement, free concerts and events designed to promote family values within the local Hispanic communities, and extended coverage, when necessary, of significant events which have an impact on the U.S. Hispanic population. Our stations and members of our management have received numerous community service awards and acknowledgments from government entities and 2 6 community and philanthropic organizations for their service to the community. We believe that this involvement helps to build and maintain station awareness and listener loyalty. ACQUISITION STRATEGY Our acquisition strategy is to acquire radio stations in the largest U.S. Hispanic markets. We consider acquisitions of stations in our existing markets, as well as acquisitions of stations in other markets with a large Hispanic population, where we can maximize our revenues through aggressive sales to U.S. Hispanic and general market advertisers. These acquisitions may include stations which do not currently target the U.S. Hispanic market, but which we believe can be successfully reformatted. In analyzing potential radio station acquisition candidates, we consider many factors including: - the size of the Hispanic market; - anticipated growth, demographics, and other characteristics of the market; - the nature and number of competitive stations in the market; - the nature of other media competition in the station's market; - the probability of achieving operating synergies through multiple station ownership within the target market; - the existing or potential quality of the broadcast signal and transmission facility; - the station's ratings, revenue and operating cash flow; and - the price and terms of the purchase. We cannot, however, be assured that our acquisition strategy will be successful. Our acquisition strategy is subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to: stations acquired by us may not increase our broadcast cash flow or yield other anticipated benefits; required regulatory approvals may result in unanticipated delays in completing acquisitions; we may have difficulty managing our rapid growth; and we may be required to raise additional financing in order to finance such acquisitions while our ability to do so is limited by the terms of our debt instruments. INTERNET STRATEGY Our Internet strategy is designed to complement our existing business and to enable us to capitalize on our U.S. Hispanic market expertise. The core of our strategy is LaMusica.com, an Internet Web site and on-line community focused on the U.S. Hispanic market. This Web site offers some of our radio stations' broadcasts through the use of audio streaming technology and provides our advertisers with a complementary means of reaching their target audience.

PROGRAMMING We format the programming of each of our stations to capture a substantial share of the U.S. Hispanic audience. The U.S. Hispanic population is diverse, consisting of numerous identifiable groups from many different countries of origin, each with its own musical and cultural heritage. The music, culture, customs and Spanish dialects vary from one radio market to another. We strive to be very familiar with the musical tastes and preferences of each of the various Hispanic ethnic groups and customize our programming to match the local preferences of our target demographic audience in each market we serve. We have an in-house research department in Miami of 14 employees who conduct extensive radio market research on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis. By employing listener study groups and telephone surveys modeled after Arbitron(R) written survey methodology, but with even larger sample sizes than Arbitron(R), we are able to assess listener preferences, track trends and gauge our success on a daily basis, well before Arbitron(R) quarterly results are published. In this manner, we can respond immediately to changing listener preferences and trends by refining our programming to reflect the results of our research and testing. Each of our programming formats is described below. - Spanish Tropical. The Spanish Tropical format primarily consists of salsa, merengue and cumbia music. Salsa is dance music combining Latin Caribbean rhythms with jazz originating from Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic, which is popular with Hispanics living in New York and Miami. Merengue music is up-tempo dance music originating from the Dominican Republic. Cumbia is a festive, folkloric music which originated in Colombia. - Regional Mexican. The Regional Mexican format consists of various types of music played in different regions of Mexico such as ranchera, nortena, banda and cumbia. Ranchera music, originating from Jalisco, Mexico, is a traditional folkloric sound commonly referred to as mariachi music. Mariachi music features acoustical instruments and is considered the music indigenous to Mexicans who live in country towns. Nortena means northern, and is representative of Northern Mexico. Featuring an accordion, nortena has a polka sound with a distinct Mexican flavor. Banda is a regional format from the state of Sinaloa, Mexico and is popular in California. Banda resembles up-tempo marching band music with synthesizers. - Tejano. The Tejano format consists of music based on Mexican themes but which originated in Texas. Tejano music is a combination of contemporary rock, ranchera and country music, the lyrics of which are primarily sung in Spanish. - Spanish Adult Contemporary. The Spanish Adult Contemporary format includes pop, Latin rock, and ballads. This format is similar to English Adult Contemporary featured on contemporary hit radio stations. 4 8 - American Contemporary Hits. American Contemporary Hit Records format consists of popular music released within the last year. This format also tends to play a variety of music styles including Rock/Pop/Dance or R&B/Rap/Dance and is mostly rhythmic in nature. - American 80's Hits. The American 80's Hits format consists of the top American chart hits from the 1980's charts. - Spanish Adult Top 40. The Spanish Adult Top 40 format consists of a variety of Latin hit songs from the 1980's and 1990's. - Spanish Oldies. The Spanish Oldies format includes a variety of Latin music mainly from the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. - Dance. The Dance format consists of upbeat dance and house rhythms, mainly from the 1980's and 1990's, that are played in dance clubs, including English-language music.

Dallas experienced annual radio revenue growth of 11.3% between 1993 and 1998, and radio revenue in Dallas is expected to continue growing at an annual rate of 10.7% between 1999 and 2003. LATIN MUSIC ON-LINE ("LAMUSICA.COM") LaMusica.com is a bilingual Spanish-English Internet Web site and on-line community that focuses on the U.S. Hispanic market. LaMusica.com is a provider of original information and interactive content related to Latin music, entertainment, news and culture. We believe that LaMusica.com, together with our radio station portfolio, enables our audience to enjoy additional targeted and culturally-specific entertainment options, such as concert listings, CD reviews, local entertainment calendars, and interactive content on popular Latin recording artists and musicians. Similarly, LaMusica.com enables our advertisers to cost-effectively reach their targeted Hispanic consumer through an additional, dynamic and rapidly growing medium. LaMusica.com has links to the Web sites for some of our radio stations. This network of Web sites permits our target audiences to listen to streaming audio of live radio broadcasts from our radio stations from anywhere in the United States and the world. In addition to our network of station Web sites and our production of original interactive content relating to Latin music and entertainment, we offer enhanced community features on LaMusica.com such as branded e-mail, bulletin boards, fan clubs, chat rooms, personals and horoscopes. LaMusica.com and our network of station Web sites generate revenues primarily from two distinct sources: (1) advertising and sponsorship and (2) electronic commerce opportunities, such as on-line music sales. We use our stations' on-air marketing power to draw visitors to LaMusica.com. We continue to conduct a nationwide advertising campaign on our radio stations in order to increase audience awareness of LaMusica.com. We utilize our strong relationships with advertisers and the music industry to develop banner advertising and sponsorships. In May 2000, we signed a two-year three-way agreement with LaMusica.com and America Online (AOL), whereby AOL provides LaMusica.com with a co-branded Web site, with a guaranteed minimum number of impressions over a two year period. We believe we can use these impressions to increase revenues. Under the agreement, AOL also provides a programming plan enabling LaMusica.com to create rich content for several AOL brands. MANAGEMENT AND PERSONNEL As of December 20, 2000, we had 568 full-time employees, 14 of whom were primarily involved in senior management, 249 in programming, 177 in sales, 112 in general administration and 16 in technical activities. To facilitate efficient management from our Coconut Grove, Florida headquarters, we access and utilize computerized accounting systems, including our recently purchased Oracle software, from our stations to provide timely information to management on station operations and to assist in cost control and the preparation of monthly financial statements. Corporate executives regularly visit each station to monitor its operations and ensure that our policies are properly followed. 7 11 Our business depends upon the efforts, abilities and expertise of our executive officers and other key employees, including Raul Alarcon, Jr., our Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of any of these officers and key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our personnel. SEASONALITY Seasonal net broadcasting revenue fluctuations are common in the radio broadcasting industry and are due primarily to fluctuations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our second fiscal quarter (January through March) generally produces the lowest net broadcasting revenue for the year because of normal post-holiday decreases in advertising expenditures. ADVERTISING Virtually all radio station revenue is derived from advertising. This revenue is usually classified in one of two categories -- "national" or "local." "National" generally refers to advertising that is solicited by a national representative firm that represents the station and is paid commissions based on collected net revenues. Our national sales representative is Caballero Spanish Media, LLC, a division of Interep National Radio Sales, Inc. "Local" refers to advertising purchased by advertisers and agencies in the local community served by a particular station. We believe that radio is one of the most efficient and cost-effective means for advertisers to reach targeted demographic groups. Advertising rates charged by a radio station are based primarily on the station's ability to attract listeners in a given market and on the attractiveness to advertisers of the station's listener demographics. Rates vary depending upon a program's popularity among the listeners an advertiser is seeking to attract, the number of advertisers vying for available air time and the availability of alternative media in the market. Radio advertising rates generally are highest during the morning and afternoon drive-time hours which are the peak hours for radio audience listening. We believe that having multiple stations in a market is attractive to national advertisers, enabling the broadcaster to command higher advertising rates. We believe that we will be able to increase our rates as new and existing advertisers recognize the increasing desirability of targeting the growing Hispanic population in the United States. Each station broadcasts a predetermined number of advertisements each hour with the actual number depending upon the format of a particular station. We determine the number of advertisements broadcast hourly that can maximize the station's available revenue dollars without jeopardizing its audience listener levels. While there may be shifts from time to time in the number of advertisements broadcast during a particular time of the day, the total number of advertisements broadcast on a particular station generally does not vary significantly from year to year. As is customary in the radio industry, the majority of our advertising contracts are short-term, generally running for less than three months. We have long-term relationships with some of our advertisers. In each of our broadcasting markets, we employ salespeople to obtain local advertising revenues. We believe that our local sales force is crucial to maintaining relationships with key local advertisers and agencies and identifying new advertisers. We generally pay sales commissions to our local sales staff upon the receipt from advertisers of the payments related to these sales. We offer assistance to local advertisers by providing them with studio facilities to produce commercials free of charge. COMPETITION The success of each of our stations depends significantly upon its audience ratings and its share of the overall advertising revenue within its market. The radio broadcasting industry is a highly competitive business. Each of our radio stations competes with both Spanish-language and English-language radio stations in its market as well as with other advertising media such as newspapers, broadcast television, cable television, the Internet, magazines, outdoor advertising, transit advertising and direct mail marketing. Several of the stations with which we compete are subsidiaries of large national or regional companies that have substantially greater resources than we do. Factors which are material to competitive position include management experience, the 8 12 station's rank in its market, signal strength and frequency, and audience demographics, including the nature of the Spanish-language market targeted by a particular station. Although the radio broadcasting industry is highly competitive, some barriers to entry exist. These barriers can be mitigated to some extent by changing existing radio station formats and upgrading power, among other actions. The operation of a radio station requires a license or other authorization from the FCC, and the number of radio stations that can operate in a given market is limited by the availability of FM and AM radio frequencies allotted by the FCC to communities in that market. In addition, the FCC's multiple ownership rules regulate the number of stations that may be owned and controlled by a single entity in a given market. However, in recent years, these rules have changed significantly. For a discussion of FCC regulation, see "Federal Regulation of Radio Broadcasting." The radio industry is also subject to competition from new media technologies that are being developed or introduced, such as the delivery of audio programming by cable television systems, by satellite and by terrestrial delivery of digital audio broadcasting (known as "DAB"). DAB may deliver to nationwide and regional audiences, multi-channel, multi-format, digital radio services with sound quality equivalent to that of compact discs. The FCC has authorized spectrum for the use of a new technology, satellite digital audio radio services (known as "SDARS"), to deliver audio programming. SDARS may provide a medium for the delivery by satellite of multiple new audio programming formats to local and national audiences. It is not known at this time whether digital technology also may be used in the future by existing radio broadcast stations either on existing or alternate broadcasting frequencies. The FCC also has begun accepting applications for a new "low power" radio or "microbroadcasting" service which could open up opportunities for low cost neighborhood service on frequencies which would not interfere with existing stations. No FCC action has been taken on these applications to date. The delivery of information through the presently unregulated Internet also could create a new form of competition. The radio broadcasting industry historically has grown despite the introduction of new technologies for the delivery of entertainment and information, such as television broadcasting, cable television, audio tapes and compact discs. A growing population and the greater availability of radios, particularly car and portable radios, have contributed to this growth. We cannot assure you, however, that the development or introduction in the future of any new media technology will not have an adverse effect on the radio broadcasting industry. We cannot predict what other matters might be considered in the future by the FCC, nor can we assess in advance what impact, if any, the implementation of any of these proposals or changes might have on our business. See "Federal Regulation of Radio Broadcasting." ANTITRUST An important part of our growth strategy is the acquisition of additional radio stations. Since the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Justice Department has become more aggressive in reviewing proposed acquisitions of radio stations and radio station networks. The Justice Department is particularly aggressive when the proposed buyer already owns one or more radio stations in the market of the station it is seeking to buy. Recently, the Justice Department has challenged a number of radio broadcasting transactions. Some of those challenges ultimately resulted in consent decrees requiring, among other things, divestitures of certain stations. In general, the Justice Department has more closely scrutinized radio broadcasting acquisitions that result in local market shares in excess of 40% of radio advertising revenue. Similarly, the FCC staff has announced new procedures to review proposed radio broadcasting transactions even if the proposed acquisition otherwise complies with the FCC's ownership limitations. In particular, the FCC may invite public comment on proposed radio transactions that the FCC believes, based on its initial analysis, may present ownership concentration concerns in a particular local radio market. 9 13 FEDERAL REGULATION OF RADIO BROADCASTING The radio broadcasting industry is subject to extensive and changing regulation by the FCC of programming, technical operations, employment and other business practices. The FCC regulates radio broadcast stations pursuant to the Communications Act. The Communications Act permits the operation of radio broadcast stations only in accordance with a license issued by the FCC upon a finding that the grant of a license would serve the public interest, convenience and necessity. The Communications Act provides for the FCC to exercise its licensing authority to provide a fair, efficient and equitable distribution of broadcast service throughout the United States. Among other things, the FCC: - assigns frequency bands for radio broadcasting; - determines the particular frequencies, locations and operating power of radio broadcast stations; - issues, renews, revokes and modifies radio broadcast station licenses; - establishes technical requirements for certain transmitting equipment used by radio broadcast stations; - adopts and implements regulations and policies that directly or indirectly affect the ownership, operation, program content and employment and business practices of radio broadcast stations; and - has the power to impose penalties, including monetary forfeitures, for violations of its rules and the Communications Act. The Communications Act prohibits the assignment of an FCC license, or other transfer of control of an FCC licensee, without the prior approval of the FCC. In determining whether to approve assignments or transfers, and in determining whether to grant or renew a radio broadcast license, the FCC considers a number of factors pertaining to the licensee (and any proposed licensee), including restrictions on foreign ownership, compliance with FCC media ownership limits and other FCC rules, licensee character and compliance with the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. The following is a brief summary of certain provisions of the Communications Act and specific FCC rules and policies. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to the text of the Communications Act, the FCC's rules and regulations, and the rulings of the FCC. You should refer to the Communications Act and these FCC rules, regulations and rulings for further information concerning the nature and extent of federal regulation of radio broadcast stations. A licensee's failure to observe the requirements of the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies may result in the imposition of various sanctions, including admonishment, fines, the grant of renewal terms of less than eight years, the grant of a license with conditions or, for particularly egregious violations, the denial of a license renewal application, the revocation of an FCC license or the denial of FCC consent to acquire additional broadcast properties. Congress and the FCC have had under consideration, and may in the future consider and adopt, new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters that could, directly or indirectly, affect the operation, ownership and profitability of SBS's radio stations, result in the loss of audience share and advertising revenue for our radio broadcast stations or affect our ability to acquire additional radio broadcast stations or finance these acquisitions. Such matters may include: - changes to the license authorization and renewal process; - proposals to impose spectrum use or other fees on FCC licensees; - auction of new broadcast licenses; - changes to the FCC's equal employment opportunity regulations and other matters relating to involvement of minorities and women in the broadcasting industry; - proposals to change rules relating to political broadcasting including proposals to grant free air time to candidates, and other changes regarding program content; 10 14 - proposals to restrict or prohibit the advertising of beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages; - technical and frequency allocation matters; - the implementation of digital audio broadcasting on both a satellite and terrestrial basis; - changes in broadcast cross-interest, multiple ownership, foreign ownership, cross-ownership and ownership attribution policies; - proposals to allow telephone companies to deliver audio and video programming to homes in their service areas; and - proposals to alter provisions of the tax laws affecting broadcast operations and acquisitions. We cannot predict what changes, if any, might be adopted, nor can we predict what other matters might be considered in the future, nor can we judge in advance what impact, if any, the implementation of any particular proposals or changes might have on our business. FCC LICENSES The FCC licenses for the radio stations are or will be held by direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of SBS. The Communications Act provides that a broadcast station license may be granted to any applicant if the public interest, convenience and necessity will be served thereby, subject to certain limitations. In making licensing determinations, the FCC considers an applicant's legal, technical, financial and other qualifications. The FCC grants radio broadcast station licenses for specific periods of time and, upon application, may renew them for additional terms. Under the Communications Act, radio broadcast station licenses may be granted for a maximum term of eight years. Generally, the FCC renews radio broadcast licenses without a hearing upon a finding that: - the radio station has served the public interest, convenience and necessity; - there have been no serious violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or FCC rules and regulations; and - there have been no other violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or FCC rules and regulations which, taken together, indicate a pattern of abuse. After considering these factors, the FCC may grant the license renewal application with or without conditions, including renewal for a term less than the maximum term otherwise permitted by law, or hold an evidentiary hearing. In addition, the Communications Act authorizes the filing of petitions to deny a license renewal application during specific periods of time after a renewal application has been filed. Interested parties, including members of the public, may use these petitions to raise issues concerning a renewal applicant's qualifications. If a substantial and material question of fact concerning a renewal application is raised by the FCC or other interested parties, or if for any reason the FCC cannot determine that granting a renewal application would serve the public interest, convenience and necessity, the FCC will hold an evidentiary hearing on the application. If as a result of an evidentiary hearing the FCC determines that the licensee has failed to meet the requirements specified above and that no mitigating factors justify the imposition of a lesser sanction, then the FCC may deny a license renewal application. Historically, our licenses have been renewed without any conditions or sanctions being imposed, but we cannot assure you that the licenses of each of our stations will continue to be renewed or will continue to be renewed without conditions or sanctions. The FCC classifies each AM and FM radio station. An AM radio station operates on either a clear channel, regional channel or local channel. A clear channel is one on which AM radio stations are assigned to serve wide areas, particularly at night. 11 15 The minimum and maximum facilities requirements for an FM radio station are determined by its class. Possible FM class designations depend upon the geographic zone in which the transmitter of the FM radio station is located. In general, commercial FM radio stations are classified as follows, in order of increasing power and antenna height: Class A, B1, C3, B, C2, C1 or C radio stations. The FCC recently has adopted rules to divide Class C stations into two subclasses based on antenna height. Stations not meeting the minimum height requirement within a three-year transition period would be downgraded automatically to the new Class C0 category. Ownership Matters. The Communications Act requires prior approval of the FCC for the assignment of a broadcast license or the transfer of control of a corporation or other entity holding a license. In determining whether to approve an assignment of a radio broadcast license or a transfer of control of a broadcast licensee, the FCC considers, among other things: - the financial and legal qualifications of the prospective assignee or transferee, including compliance with FCC restrictions on non-U.S. citizen or entity ownership and control; - compliance with FCC rules limiting the common ownership of attributable interests in broadcast and newspaper properties; - the history of compliance with FCC operating rules; and - the character qualifications of the transferee or assignee and the individuals or entities holding attributable interests in them. Applications to the FCC for assignments and transfers are subject to petitions in favor of denying the assignment or transfer by interested parties. To obtain the FCC's prior consent to assign or transfer a broadcast license, appropriate applications must be filed with the FCC. The application must be placed on public notice for a period of 30 days during which petitions to deny the application may be filed by interested parties, including members of the public. Informal objections may be filed any time up until the FCC acts upon the application. If the FCC grants an assignment or transfer application, interested parties have 30 days from public notice of the grant to seek reconsideration of that grant. The FCC usually has an additional ten days to set aside such grant on its own motion. When ruling on an assignment or transfer application, the FCC is prohibited from considering whether the public interest might be served by an assignment or transfer to any party other than the assignee or transferee specified in the application. Under the Communications Act, a broadcast license may not be granted to or held by any corporation that has more than 20% of its capital stock owned or voted by non-U.S. citizens or entities or their representatives, by foreign governments or their representatives, or by non-U.S. corporations. Furthermore, the Communications Act provides that no FCC broadcast license may be granted to or held by any corporation directly or indirectly controlled by any other corporation of which more than 25% of its capital stock is owned of record or voted by non-U.S. citizens or entities or their representatives, or foreign governments or their representatives or by non-U.S. corporations, if the FCC finds the public interest will be served by the refusal or revocation of such license. These restrictions apply in modified form to other forms of business organizations, including partnerships and limited liability companies. Thus, the licenses for our stations could be revoked if more than 25% of our outstanding capital stock is issued to or for the benefit of non-U.S. citizens. The FCC generally applies its other broadcast ownership limits to "attributable" interests held by an individual, corporation, partnership or other association or entity, including limited liability companies. In the case of a corporation holding broadcast licenses, the interests of officers, directors and those who, directly or indirectly, have the right to vote five percent or more of the stock of a licensee corporation are generally deemed attributable interests, as are positions as an officer or director of a corporate parent of a broadcasting licensee. The FCC treats all partnership interests as attributable, except for those limited partnership interests that under FCC policies are considered insulated from material involvement in the management or operation of the media-related activities of the partnership. The FCC currently treats limited liability companies like 12 16 limited partnerships for purposes of attribution. Stock interests held by insurance companies, mutual funds, bank trust departments and certain other passive investors that hold stock for investment purposes only become attributable with the ownership of ten percent or more of the voting stock of the corporation holding broadcast licenses. To assess whether a voting stock interest in a direct or an indirect parent corporation of a broadcast licensee is attributable, the FCC uses a "multiplier" analysis in which non-controlling voting stock interests are deemed proportionally reduced at each non-controlling link in a multi-corporation ownership chain. A time brokerage agreement with another radio station in the same market creates an attributable interest in the brokered radio station as well for purposes of the FCC's local radio station ownership rules, if the agreement affects more than 15% of the brokered radio station's weekly broadcast hours. Debt instruments, non-voting stock, options and warrants for voting stock that have not yet been exercised, insulated limited partnership interests where the limited partner is not materially involved in the media-related activities of the partnership, and minority voting stock interests in corporations where there is a single holder of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock whose vote is sufficient to affirmatively direct the affairs of the corporation, generally do not subject their holders to attribution. However, the FCC's rules also specify other exceptions to these general principles for attribution. The FCC is currently evaluating whether to: - raise the benchmark for voting stock from five to ten percent; - raise the benchmark for passive investors holding voting stock from ten to twenty percent; - continue the single 50% stockholder exception; and/or - attribute non-voting stock or perhaps only when combined with other rights such as voting shares or contractual relationships. More recently, the FCC has solicited comment on proposed rules that would: - treat an otherwise non-attributable ownership equity or debt interest in a licensee as an attributable interest where the interest holder is a program supplier or the owner of a broadcast station in the same market and the equity and/or debt holding is greater than a specified benchmark; and - in some circumstances, treat the licensee of a broadcast station that sells advertising time of another station in the same market pursuant to a joint sales agreement as having an attributable interest in the station whose advertising is being sold. Communications Act and FCC rules generally restrict ownership, operation or control of, or the common holding of attributable interests in: - radio broadcast stations above certain limits servicing the same local market; - a radio broadcast station and a television broadcast station servicing the same local market; and - a radio broadcast station and a daily newspaper serving the same local market. These rules include specific signal contour overlap standards to determine compliance, and the FCC defined market will not necessarily be the same market used by Arbitron(R) or other surveys, or for purposes of the HSR Act. Under these "cross-ownership" rules, we, absent waivers, would not be permitted to own a radio broadcast station and acquire an attributable interest in any daily newspaper or television broadcast station, other than a low-powered television station, in the same market where we then owned any radio broadcast station. Our stockholders, officers or directors, absent a waiver, may not hold an attributable interest in a daily newspaper or television broadcast station in those same markets. The FCC is currently reviewing the ban on common ownership of a radio station and a daily newspaper in the same market. The FCC's rules provide for the liberal grant of a waiver of the rule prohibiting common ownership of radio and television stations in the same geographic market in the top 25 television markets if specific conditions are satisfied, and the FCC will consider waivers in other markets under more restrictive 13 17 standards. The FCC is reviewing its ban on the common ownership of a radio station and a television station or newspaper including extending the policy of liberal waivers of common ownership of radio and television stations to the top 50 television markets. Although current FCC nationwide radio broadcast ownership rules allow one entity to own, control or hold attributable interests in an unlimited number of FM radio stations and AM radio stations nationwide, the Communications Act and the FCC's rules limit the number of radio broadcast stations in local markets in which a single entity may own an attributable interest as follows: - In a radio market with 45 or more commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to eight commercial radio stations, not more than five of which are in the same service (AM or FM). - In a radio market with between 30 and 44 (inclusive) commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to seven commercial radio stations, not more than four of which are in the same service (AM or FM). - In a radio market with between 15 and 29 (inclusive) commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to six commercial radio stations, not more than four of which are in the same service (AM or FM). - In a radio market with 14 or fewer commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to five commercial radio stations, not more than three of which are in the same service (AM or FM), except that a party may not own, operate, or control more than 50 percent of the radio stations in such market. Because of these multiple and cross-ownership rules, if a stockholder, officer or director of SBS holds an attributable interest in SBS, such stockholder, officer or director may violate the FCC's rules if such person or entity also holds or acquires an attributable interest in other television stations, radio stations or daily newspapers, depending on their number and location. If an attributable stockholder, officer or director of SBS violates any of these ownership rules, we may be unable to obtain from the FCC one or more authorizations needed to conduct our radio station business and may be unable to obtain FCC consents for future acquisitions. As long as one person or entity holds more than 50% of the voting power of the common stock of SBS where the vote of such person or entity is sufficient to affirmatively direct the affairs of SBS, another stockholder, unless serving as an officer and/or director, generally would not hold an attributable interest in SBS. However, as described above, the FCC is currently evaluating whether to continue the exception for a single majority stockholder of more than 50% of a licensee's voting stock. As of December 19, 2000, Raul Alarcon, Jr. held more than 50% of the total voting power of our common stock. Under its cross-interest policy, the FCC considers meaningful relationships among competing media outlets that serve substantially the same area, even if the ownership rules do not specifically prohibit the relationship. Under this policy, the FCC may consider whether to prohibit one party from holding an attributable interest and a substantial non-attributable interest (including non-voting stock, limited partnership and limited liability company interests) in a media outlet in the same market, or from entering into a joint venture or having common key employees with competitors. The cross-interest policy does not necessarily prohibit all of these interests, but requires that the FCC consider whether, in a particular market, the meaningful relationships between competitors could have a significant adverse effect upon economic competition and program diversity. In a rule making proceeding concerning the attribution rules, the FCC has sought comment on, among other things, (1) whether the cross-interest policy should be applied only in smaller markets, and (2) whether non-equity financial relationships, such as debt, when combined with multiple business relationships, such as local marketing agreements or joint sales arrangements, raise concerns under the cross-interest policy. Programming and Operations. The Communications Act requires broadcasters to serve the public interest. A broadcast licensee is required to present programming in response to community problems, needs and interests and to maintain certain records demonstrating its responsiveness. The FCC will consider complaints from listeners about a broadcast station's programming when it evaluates the licensee's renewal application, but listeners' complaints also may be filed and considered at any time. Stations also must pay 14 18 regulatory and application fees, and follow various FCC rules that regulate, among other things, political advertising, the broadcast of obscene or indecent programming, sponsorship identification, the broadcast of contests and lotteries and technical operation. The FCC requires that licensees not discriminate in hiring practices, develop and implement programs designed to promote equal employment opportunities and submit reports to the FCC on these matters annually and in connection with each license renewal application. The FCC rules also prohibit a broadcast licensee from simulcasting more than 25% of its programming on another radio station in the same broadcast service (that is, AM/AM or FM/FM). The simulcasting restriction applies if the licensee owns both radio broadcast stations or owns one and programs the other through a local marketing agreement, provided that the contours of the radio stations overlap in a certain manner. Local Marketing Agreements. Often radio stations enter into LMAs or time brokerage agreements. These agreements take various forms. Separately owned and licensed radio stations may agree to function cooperatively in programming, advertising sales and other matters, subject to compliance with the antitrust laws and the FCC's rules and policies, including the requirement that the licensee of each radio station maintain independent control over the programming and other operations of its own radio station. Joint Sales Agreements. Over the past few years, a number of radio stations have entered into cooperative arrangements commonly known as joint sales agreements or JSAs. The FCC has determined that issues of joint advertising sales should be left to enforcement by antitrust authorities, and therefore does not generally regulate joint sales practices between stations. Currently, stations for which another licensee sells time under a JSA are not deemed by the FCC to be an attributable interest of that licensee. However, in connection with its ongoing rulemaking proceedings concerning the attribution rules, the FCC is considering whether JSAs should be considered attributable interests or within the scope of the FCC's cross-interest policy, particularly when JSAs contain provisions for the supply of programming services and/or other elements typically associated with local marketing agreements. RF Radiation. In 1985, the FCC adopted rules based on a 1982 American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard regarding human exposure to levels of radio frequency (RF) radiation. These rules require applicants for renewal of broadcast licenses or modification of existing licenses to inform the FCC at the time of filing such applications whether an existing broadcast facility would expose people to RF radiation in excess of certain limits. In 1992, ANSI adopted a new standard for RF exposure that, in some respects, was more restrictive in the amount of environmental RF exposure permitted. The FCC has since adopted more restrictive radiation limits which became effective October 15, 1997, and which are based in part on the revised ANSI standard. Digital Audio Radio Service. The FCC has allocated spectrum to a new technology, digital audio radio service (DARS), to deliver satellite-based audio programming to a national or regional audience and issued regulations for a DARS service in early 1997. The nationwide reach of satellite DARS could allow niche programming aimed at diverse communities that SBS is targeting. The licensees will be permitted to sell advertising and lease channels in these media. The FCC's rules require that these licensees launch and begin operating at least one space station by 2001 and be fully operational by 2003. Low Power Radio Broadcast Service. The FCC recently adopted rules establishing two classes of a low power radio service, both of which will operate in the existing FM radio band: a primary class with a maximum operating power of 100 watts and a secondary class with a maximum power of 10 watts. These low power radio stations will have limited service areas of 3.5 miles and 1 to 2 miles, respectively. Implementation of a low power radio service or microbroadcasting will provide an additional audio programming service that could compete with SBS's radio stations for listeners, but we cannot predict the effect upon SBS. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS In connection with our sale of WXLX-AM in 1997, we assigned the lease of the transmitter for WXLX-AM in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, to the purchaser of the station. The transmitter is located on a former 15 19 landfill which ceased operations in the late 1960's. Although WXLX-AM has been sold, we retain potential exposure to possible environmental liabilities relating to the transmitter site. Because the lessee of the property is under a long-term lease, we may become liable for costs associated with remediation of the site. We are unable to assess the likelihood that any claim for remediation of this site will arise, and no amounts have been accrued in the consolidated financial statements relating to this contingent liability. On September 28, 1999, we received notice from the purchaser of KXMG-AM, a station located in Los Angeles that we sold in December 1997, that it would make a claim against us for indemnification under the asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which it purchased the station, for the removal of an underground fuel storage tank. The notice did not specify the amount of the indemnification claim. We do not have sufficient information to assess our potential exposure to liability, and no amounts have been accrued in the consolidated financial statements relating to this contingent liability. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Initial Public Offering and Related Transactions. On November 2, 1999, we closed our initial public offering of 25,055,510 shares of Class A Common Stock, raising $389.4 million in net proceeds to SBS, including proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Selling shareholders who participated in the offering raised an aggregate of $80.4 million in net proceeds. The shares of Class A Common Stock were offered at an initial offering price of $20.00 per share. Our shares began trading on the Nasdaq National Market on October 28, 1999. On November 2, 1999, we also closed our offering of $235.0 million of 9 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009, raising $228.0 million in net proceeds to SBS. On September 30, 1999, we commenced tender offers and the solicitation of consents to adopt amendments to the indentures governing our then outstanding senior notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and default provisions contained in the indentures, other than the covenants relating to the payment of interest on the principal of the notes. On November 3, 1999, we accepted for payment consent solicitations and tender offers for two series of our then outstanding senior notes totaling $176,559,000 in aggregate principal amount. The first series, aggregate principal amount $101,559,000 of outstanding 12 1/2% Senior Notes due 2002, was redeemed at $1,142.86 per each validly tendered $1,000 12 1/2% Note. We received consents and tenders from 99.7% of our 12 1/2% Notes. As of December 20, 2000, there is an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 of our 12 1/2% Notes that remains outstanding. The second series, aggregate principal amount $75.0 million of outstanding 11% Senior Notes due 2004, Series B was purchased by us at $1,108.04 per each validly tendered $1,000 11% Note. We received consents and tenders from 100% of the holders of our 11% Notes. On November 2, 1999, we gave notice of redemption of all of our outstanding 14 1/4% Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock at 105% of the liquidation preference of each share at an aggregate cost to us of approximately $265.6 million. We completed the redemption on December 2, 1999. Reclassification and Stock Split of Common Stock. On September 29, 1999, we filed a third amended and restated certificate of incorporation to reclassify all of our then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, into shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share and effect a 50-to-1 stock split of the new shares of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitles its holder to ten votes. Purchase of Additional Puerto Rico Stations. On September 22, 1999, Spanish Broadcasting System of Puerto Rico, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SBS, entered into a stock purchase agreement to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of the following nine subsidiaries of AMFM Operating Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Chancellor Media Corporation of Los Angeles) ("AMFM"): Primedia Broadcast Group, Inc., WIO, Inc., Cadena Estereotempo, Inc., Portorican American Broadcasting, Inc., WLDI, Inc., WRPC, Inc., WOYE, Inc., WZNT, Inc., WOQI, Inc. (the "Primedia Station Group"). The Primedia Station Group owns and operates eight radio stations in Puerto Rico: WIOA-FM, WIOB-FM, WIOC-FM, WCOM-FM, WZMT-FM, WZNT-FM, WOYE-FM, and 16 20 WCTA-FM. On January 14, 2000, we completed the purchase from AMFM of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Primedia Station Group for total cash consideration of $90.8 million (net of $1.0 million cash acquired), including a $10.0 million deposit that was made on September 22, 1999 and closing costs of $0.7 million. The acquisition was financed from cash on hand. Sale of Florida Keys Stations. On February 2, 2000, SBS completed the sale of WVMQ-FM in Key West, Florida and WZMQ-FM in Key Largo, Florida to South Broadcasting System, Inc., a company owned by Mr. Pablo Raul Alarcon, Sr., our Chairman Emeritus and a member of our board of directors, for total cash consideration of $0.7 million. Shelf Registration. On March 13, 2000, in fulfillment of our obligation pursuant to registration rights agreements dated June 29, 1994 and March 15, 1997, respectively, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 through which certain selling stockholders are offering for sale from time to time up to an aggregate of 7,387,750 shares of our Class A Common Stock, which shares were originally issued to the selling stockholders as shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to 1994 and 1997 warrants. On May 8, 2000, the SEC declared the registration statement on Form S-3 effective. The selling stockholders may sell the shares of Class A Common Stock from time to time on the over-the-counter market in regular brokerage transactions or in privately negotiated transactions. We will not receive any portion of the proceeds from the sale of these shares by the selling stockholders. Senior Credit Facility. On July 6, 2000, we entered into a credit agreement with Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. as administrative agent and the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time a party to the credit agreement. The senior credit facility includes a six year $25.0 million revolving credit facility and $125.0 million multi-draw term loan facility. Purchase of Dallas, San Francisco, and Additional Los Angeles and San Antonio Stations. On May 8, 2000, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Rodriguez Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RCI") and the stockholders of RCI to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of RCI which owns and operates radio stations KMJR-FM (formerly KFOX-FM) and KNJR-FM (formerly KREA-FM) serving the Los Angeles, California market, KXJO-FM serving the San Francisco, California market and KSAH-AM serving the San Antonio, Texas market. On May 8, 2000 we also entered into an asset purchase agreement with New World Broadcasters Corp. ("New World"), a Texas corporation and an affiliate of RCI, to acquire radio station KTCY-FM serving the Dallas, Texas market, and a stock purchase agreement with New World and 910 Broadcasting Corp., a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of New World, to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of 910 Broadcasting Corp. which owns and operates radio station KXEB-AM serving the Dallas, Texas market. On November 10, 2000, we completed the purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of RCI and the purchase of radio station KTCY-FM for total consideration of $164.3 million, consisting of 4,441,545 shares of SBS Class A Common Stock valued at $42.6 million and $121.7 million in cash. We financed the purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of RCI and the purchase of radio station KTCY-FM with previously unissued shares of our Class A Common Stock, cash on hand and borrowings under our credit agreement dated July 6, 2000 with Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. as administrative agent, and the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party to the credit agreement. From May 8, 2000 to November 10, 2000, we operated radio station KTCY-FM under a time brokerage agreement with New World. From May 23, 2000 to November 10, 2000, we operated radio station KSAH-AM under a time brokerage agreement with RCI. From July 6, 2000 to November 10, 2000, we operated radio stations KMJR-FM and KNJR-FM under a time brokerage agreement with RCI. From August 23, 2000 to November 10, 2000, we operated radio station KXJO-FM under a time brokerage agreement with RCI. We have not yet closed the purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of 910 Broadcasting Corp., the owner and operator of radio station KXEB-AM because FCC approval is still pending for this transaction. We cannot assure you that this acquisition will occur. We began operating radio station KXEB-AM on May 8, 2000 under a time brokerage agreement with New World and 910 Broadcasting Corp., which will continue until the closing of the purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of 910 Broadcasting Corp. 17 21 Purchase of Additional Los Angeles Station. On November 2, 2000, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with International Church of the Four Square Gospel to purchase radio station KFSG-FM in Los Angeles, California at a purchase price of $250,000,000. In connection with this acquisition, we made an initial deposit of $5,000,000 toward the purchase price. The agreement contains customary representations and warranties, and the closing of our acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval from the FCC. The agreement may be terminated by us or by the seller if the closing does not occur by December 31, 2001. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This report contains forward-looking statements, including statements under the captions "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Business" and elsewhere in this report, concerning our expectations of future sales; gross profits; research and development expenses; selling, general and administrative expenses; product introductions and cash requirements. Forward-looking statements often include words or phrases such as "will likely result", "expect", "will continue", "anticipate", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "project", "outlook" or similar expressions. The statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ from expectations include those in the "Risk Factors" section of our registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-85499) and our registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (Registration No. 333-32240). We cannot assure you that our results of operations will not be adversely affected by one or more of these factors. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management's view only as of the date of this report. We are not obligated to update these statements or publicly release the results of any revisions to them to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. CERTAIN CONSIDERATIONS - Our substantial level of debt could limit our ability to grow and compete. - The terms of our debt restrict us from engaging in many activities and require us to satisfy various financial tests. - We have experienced net losses in the past and to the extent that we experience losses in the future, our ability to raise capital and the market prices of our securities could be adversely affected. - A large portion of our net broadcast revenue and broadcast cash flow comes from the New York and Miami markets. - Loss of key personnel could adversely affect our business, including Raul Alarcon, Jr., our Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer. - We compete for advertising revenue with other radio groups as well as television and other media, many operators of which have greater resources than we do. - Our growth depends on successfully executing our acquisition strategy. We intend to grow by acquiring radio stations primarily in the largest U.S. Hispanic markets. We cannot assure you that our acquisition strategy will be successful. - Raul Alarcon, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and President, has majority voting control. - We must be able to respond to rapidly changing technology, services and standards which characterize our industry in order to remain competitive. 18 22 - Our business depends on maintaining our FCC licenses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain these licenses. - We may face regulatory review for additional acquisitions in our existing markets and, potentially, new markets. - A national or regional recession could impair our revenues. - Future sales by existing stockholders could depress the market price of our Class A Common Stock. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES As of December 1, 2000, we relocated our corporate headquarters to Coconut Grove, Florida to a building owned by Mr. Alarcon, Jr. We entered into a ten year lease with Irradio Holding Limited, a Florida partnership. See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." The types of properties required to support each of our radio stations include offices, broadcasting studios and antenna towers where broadcasting transmitters and antenna equipment are located. We own the building housing the office and studios in New York for WSKQ-FM and WPAT-FM, and in Los Angeles for KLAX-FM. Additionally, we own a separate building in Los Angeles that we previously used as the office for our Los Angeles operations. We own the auxiliary transmitter site for KSAH-AM in Universal City, Texas and we lease all of our other transmitter sites, with lease terms that expire between 2000 and 2035, assuming all renewal options are exercised. We also own a tower site in Signal Hill, California where we lease space to a public broadcast station and other members of the telecommunications industry. The studios and offices of our Miami and South Florida stations are currently located in leased facilities with lease terms that expire in 2012. See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." We lease the office and studio facilities for our stations in Chicago, Dallas, Oakland, San Antonio and Puerto Rico. The transmitter sites for our stations are material to our overall operations. Management believes that our properties are in good condition and are suitable for our operations; however, we continually seek opportunities to upgrade our properties. We own substantially all of the equipment used in our radio broadcasting business. See "Item 1. Business -- Environmental Matters." ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time we are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business, such as contract matters and employee-related matters. We are not currently a party to litigation which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. See "Item 1. Business -- Environmental Matters." ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our shares of Class A Common Stock were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, until October 27, 1999. The principal market upon which our Class A Common Stock is traded is the Nasdaq National Market. Our shares of Class A Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq National Market on October 28, 1999. For the period from October 28, 1999 to December 26, 1999, the high and low bids for our Class A Common Stock were $39.88 and $25.25, respectively. For the period from December 27, 1999 to March 26, 2000, the high and low bids for our Class A Common Stock were $42.00 and $17.25, respectively. For the period from March 27, 2000 to June 25, 2000, the high and low bids for our Class A Common Stock were $25.50 and $13.94, respectively. For the period from June 26, 2000 to September 24, 2000, the high and low bids for our Class A Common Stock were $22.50 19 23 and $8.63, respectively. As of December 20, 2000, there were approximately 6,500 holders of our Class A Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share. There is no established trading market for our Class B Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share. As of December 20, 2000, there were seven record holders of our Class B Common Stock. This figure does not include an estimate of the indeterminate number of beneficial holders whose shares may be held of record by brokerage firms and clearing agencies. DIVIDEND POLICY We intend to retain future earnings for use in our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash or stock dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, any determination to declare and pay dividends will be made by our board of directors in light of our earnings, financial position, capital requirements and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Furthermore, the indenture governing our 9 5/8% senior subordinated notes offering contains restrictions on our ability to pay dividends. We previously declared and paid an extraordinary dividend in March 1998, pursuant to which some of our warrantholders elected to increase the conversion rates of their warrants instead of receiving cash. We do not expect to make payments of any similar dividends in the near future. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES On November 10, 2000, we issued an aggregate of 4,441,545 shares of our Class A Common Stock to New World Broadcasters Corp., the shareholders of Rodriguez Communications, Inc. ("RCI"), and to certain individuals as part of the purchase price for radio station KTCY-FM and all the outstanding capital stock of RCI (which owns and operates radio stations KFOX-FM, KREA-FM, KXJO-FM and KSAH-FM). We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to claim exemption from registration for this issuance, as a transaction not involving any public offering. Prior to June 30, 1999, we issued 182,303 shares to qualified institutional buyers and accredited institutional investors who exercised warrants to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock. Our warrants were initially issued in 1994 as part of units that included our senior notes and in 1997 as part of units that included our senior exchangeable preferred stock. The exercise price for the warrants was $.01 per warrant. Holders exercising the 1997 warrants received .428 shares per warrant and holders exercising the 1994 warrants received one share per warrant. On September 29, 1999, we filed our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation to reclassify all of our then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, into shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share and to effect a 50-to-1 stock split of the new shares of Class B Common Stock. We relied on Sections 3(a)(9) and 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to claim exemption from registration for this issuance, as a transaction not involving any public offering. 20 24 ITEM 6.

22 26 NOTES TO SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (1) Station operating expenses include engineering, programming, selling and general and administrative expenses. (2) Interest expense includes non-cash interest, such as the accretion of principal, the amortization of discounts on debt and the amortization of deferred financing costs. (3) During the 1996, 1997 and 1999 fiscal years, we wrote down the value of our land and building located on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles by $697,741, $487,973 and $451,048, respectively. The write-downs were based on current market values of real estate in the Los Angeles area. Financing costs are also included in other income (expenses). (4) On June 29, 1994, we sold 107,059 units, each consisting of $1,000 principal amount, of our 12 1/2% notes and warrants to purchase one share of common stock per unit. The 12 1/2% notes were issued at a substantial discount from their principal amount. The sale of the 12 1/2% notes and warrants generated gross proceeds of $94,000,000 and proceeds to us of $87,774,002, net of financing costs of $6,225,998. Of the $94,000,000 of gross proceeds from the sale of the 12 1/2% notes and warrants, $88,603,000 was allocated to the 12 1/2% notes and $5,397,000 was determined to be the value of the warrants. Of the net proceeds from the sale of the 12 1/2% notes and warrants, $83,000,000 was used to satisfy in full our obligations to our two former principal lenders and the balance was used to settle litigation with a former stockholder and for general corporate purposes. For the fiscal year ended September 28, 1997, we recorded an extraordinary loss resulting from the redemption of our 12 1/4% senior secured notes due 2001 at par which was approximately $1.5 million in excess of their carrying value and from the write-off of the related unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $1.3 million, net of the related tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million. For the fiscal year ended September 27, 1998, we recorded an extraordinary loss resulting from the repurchase of $13.2 million par value of 12 1/2% notes, at a premium of approximately $2.2 million in excess of their carrying value and from the write-off of the related unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $0.5 million, net of the related tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million. For the fiscal year ended September 24, 2000, we recorded an extraordinary loss of $17.2 million related to the early retirement of our 11% and 12 1/2% notes at a premium of approximately $23.1 million in excess of their carrying value and from the write-off of the related unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $5.5 million, net of the related tax benefit of approximately $11.4 million. (5) The term "broadcast cash flow" means operating income before depreciation, amortization and corporate expenses. Broadcast cash flow should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income or cash flow and other consolidated income or cash flow statement data or as a measure of our profitability or liquidity. Although broadcast cash flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, broadcast cash flow is widely used in the broadcasting industry as a measure of a broadcasting company's operating performance. Broadcast cash flow may not be comparable to a similarly entitled item reported by other entities that do not define the term exactly as the Company defines it. The Company believes that broadcast cash flow is a useful indicator to investors of the cash flow generated by the operations of the Company's stations and permits investors to compare the Company's performance with respect to station operations with those of other radio broadcast companies. The Company believes that broadcast cash flow is particularly useful in analyzing acquisition opportunities. (6) The term "EBITDA" means earnings before extraordinary items, gain on sale of AM stations, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other income or expense. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, EBITDA is widely used in the broadcasting industry as a measure of a broadcasting company's operating performance. EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly entitled item reported by other entities that do not define the term exactly as the Company defines it. The Company believes that 23 27 EBITDA is a useful indicator to investors of the Company's capacity to incur and service debt. Many debt instruments, including the indenture governing the Company's 9 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, contain covenants which use formulas based on EBITDA calculations. (7) The term "after-tax cash flow" means income before income tax benefit (expense) and extraordinary items, minus net gain on sale of AM stations (net of tax) and the current income tax provision, plus depreciation and amortization expense. Although after-tax cash flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, after-tax cash flow is widely used in the broadcasting industry as a measure of a broadcasting company's operating performance. (8) On September 29, 1999, we filed a third amended and restated certificate of incorporation which resulted in (1) the redesignation of our previously outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into shares of Class B Common Stock, (2) a 50-to-1 stock split of our Class B Common Stock and (3) a reduction in the par value of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock from $0.01 per share to $0.0001 per share. The financial information has been restated to reflect this redesignation, stock split and change in par value. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BACKGROUND We commenced operations with the purchase of our first radio station, WXLX-AM (formerly WSKQ-AM) serving the New York metropolitan area in 1983. Since 1983 we have purchased 28 stations, including three additional AM stations, in eight U.S. markets. Today, we are the second largest Spanish-language radio broadcasting company in the United States, currently owning and operating a total of 23 FM radio stations and one AM radio station. We operate an additional AM radio station under a time brokerage agreement. Twenty-five of our stations are located in eight of the largest Hispanic markets in the United States, including Los Angeles, New York, Puerto Rico, Miami, San Francisco, Chicago, San Antonio and Dallas. In total, our radio stations reach over 61% of the U.S. Hispanic population. Our financial results depend on a number of factors, including the strength of the national economy and the local economies served by our stations, total advertising dollars dedicated to the markets served by our stations, advertising dollars targeted to the Hispanic consumers in the markets served by our stations, our stations' audience ratings, our ability to provide popular programming, local market competition from other radio stations and other advertising media, and government regulations and policies. We report our revenues and expenses on a broadcast month basis. "Broadcast month basis" means a four or five week period ending on the last Sunday of each calendar month. For fiscal years 1998, 1999 and 2000 we reported 52 weeks of revenues and expenses. As is true of other radio groups, our performance is customarily measured by our ability to generate broadcast cash flow, EBITDA and after-tax cash flow. Broadcast cash flow consists of operating income before depreciation, amortization and corporate expenses. EBITDA consists of earnings before extraordinary items, gain on sale of AM stations, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other income or expenses. After-tax cash flow consists of income before income tax benefit (expense) and extraordinary items, minus net gain on sale of AM stations (net of tax) and the current income tax provision, plus depreciation and amortization expense. Although broadcast cash flow, EBITDA and after-tax cash flow are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we believe that broadcast cash flow, EBITDA and after-tax cash flow are useful in evaluating us because these measures are accepted by the broadcasting industry as generally recognized measures of performance and are used by securities industry analysts who publish reports on the performance of broadcasting companies. In addition, we have included information concerning broadcast cash flow, EBITDA and after-tax cash flow in this report because it is used by some investors as a measure of a company's ability to service its debt obligations and it is also the basis for determining compliance with certain covenants contained in the indentures governing our debt securities and in the certificate of designation governing our preferred stock. Broadcast cash flow, EBITDA and after-tax cash flow are not intended to be substitutes for operating income 24 28 as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or alternatives to cash flow from operating activities (as a measure of liquidity) or net income. REVENUES Our primary source of revenue is the sale of advertising time on our radio stations to local and national advertisers. Our revenues are affected primarily by the advertising rates that our radio stations are able to charge as well as the overall demand for radio advertising time in a market. Advertising rates are based primarily on (1) a radio station's audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers, as measured principally by periodic reports developed by Arbitron(C), (2) the number of radio stations in the market competing for the same demographic groups, and (3) the supply of and demand for radio advertising time. Advertising rates fluctuate daily and are generally highest during the morning and afternoon commuting hours. Seasonal net broadcasting revenue fluctuations are common in the radio broadcasting industry and are due primarily to fluctuations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our second fiscal quarter (January through March) generally produces the lowest net broadcasting revenue for the year because of normal post-holiday decreases in advertising expenditures. FISCAL YEAR 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1999 Net Revenues. Our net revenues were $122.7 million for fiscal year 2000, compared to $97.4 million for fiscal year 1999, an increase of $25.3 million or 26.0%. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of operating results of certain of our Puerto Rico stations, which we purchased from AMFM in January, that had not yet been acquired during the same period in fiscal year 1999. Additionally, our net revenues increased due to higher advertising rates, as advertisers continue to be attracted to the Spanish-language market. Station Operating Expenses. Total station operating expenses were $57.6 million for fiscal year 2000, compared to $44.6 million for fiscal year 1999, an increase of $13.0 million or 29.1%. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of operating results of certain of our Puerto Rico stations, which we purchased from AMFM in January, that had not yet been acquired during the same period in fiscal year 1999 as well as the stations operated under time brokerage agreements in connection with the Rodriguez Communications, Inc. and related transactions. In addition, on a same station basis, we experienced higher music license fees and commissions associated with increased sales. Broadcast Cash Flow. Broadcast cash flow was $65.1 million for fiscal year 2000, compared to $52.7 million for fiscal year 1999, an increase of $12.4 million or 23.5%. Our broadcast cash flow margin decreased slightly to 53.1% for fiscal year 2000 compared to 54.2% for fiscal year 1999. Excluding net Internet broadcast cash flow of ($2.1) million for fiscal year 2000 and ($0.5) million for fiscal year 1999, broadcast cash flow would have increased by $14.0 million to $67.2 million, a 26.3% increase, and our broadcast cash flow margin would have reached 54.9% for the fiscal year 2000. Corporate Expenses. Total corporate expenses were $20.7 million for fiscal year 2000, compared to $10.6 million for fiscal year 1999, an increase of $10.1 million or 95.3%. The increase in corporate expenses resulted mainly from a non-recurring severance payment of $10.2 million related to the purchase of an annuity for two of our retired executives. EBITDA. EBITDA was $44.4 million for fiscal year 2000, compared to $42.1 million for fiscal year 1999, an increase of $2.3 million or 5.5%. The increase in EBITDA was mostly attributable to the increase in broadcast cash flow, partially offset by the non-recurring severance payment of $10.2 million. Excluding the non-recurring severance payment, EBITDA was $54.6 million for the fiscal year 2000, an increase of $12.5 million or 29.7%, and our EBITDA margin was 44.5%. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $13.1 million for fiscal year 2000, compared to $9.9 million for fiscal year 1999, an increase of $3.2 million or 32.3%. The increase was related primarily to an increase in amortization costs resulting from the purchase of the Puerto Rico stations from AMFM. 25 29 Operating Income. Operating income was $31.3 million for fiscal year 2000, compared to $32.2 million for fiscal year 1999, a decrease of $0.9 million or 2.8%. The decrease was due primarily to the non-recurring severance payment of $10.2 million. Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense was $19.5 million for fiscal year 2000, compared to $21.2 million for fiscal year 1999, a decrease of $1.7 million or 8.0%. This decrease was due primarily to interest income earned on the unused proceeds from the initial public offering, partially offset by interest on additional debt related to the refinancing of the 12 1/2% and 11% notes. Other Expense, Net. We had other expenses of $0.3 million for fiscal year 2000, compared to $0.7 million for fiscal year 1999, a decrease of $0.4 million or 57.1%. The other expenses during fiscal year 2000 included a $0.3 million write-off of costs related to a financing transaction that we abandoned. Extraordinary Loss. The Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $17.2 million, net of an income tax benefit of $11.4 million, in fiscal year 2000 related to the early retirement of our 11% and 12 1/2% notes for an amount in excess of our carrying value and the write-off of the related unamortized debt issuance costs. Net Income (Loss). Our net loss was $10.6 million for fiscal year 2000, compared to net income of $5.8 million for fiscal year 1999. The loss was caused primarily by the extraordinary loss and the non-recurring severance payment. After-Tax Cash Flow. After-tax cash flow was $19.7 million for fiscal year 2000, compared to $15.7 million for fiscal year 1999, an increase of $4.0 million or 25.5%. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in broadcast cash flow that exceeded the non-recurring severance payment, net of tax benefit. Excluding the net non-recurring severance payment, after-tax cash flow was $25.5 million for fiscal year 2000, an increase of $9.8 million or 62.4% compared to fiscal year 1999. FISCAL YEAR 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 1998 Net Revenues. Our net revenues were $97.4 million for fiscal year 1999, compared to $76.1 million for fiscal year 1998, an increase of $21.3 million or 28.0%. The increase in net revenues, from a percentage standpoint, was mostly attributable to the Chicago and New York market stations where our net revenues increased 30.7% and 27.2%, respectively, due to high ratings, robust local economies and increased advertising rates. All of the markets in which we operate stations experienced strong increases in net revenues, including our Los Angeles FM station where net revenue increased by 24.0%. Station Operating Expenses. Total station operating expenses were $44.6 million for fiscal year 1999, compared to $39.5 million for fiscal year 1998, an increase of $5.1 million or 12.9%. The higher station operating expenses were caused mainly by the inclusion of the results of the recent acquisitions in San Antonio and Puerto Rico as well as JuJu Media, Inc. accounting for $4.2 million or 82.4% of the increase in station operating expenses. To a lesser extent, all of our other radio stations experienced higher commissions and higher music license fees associated with increased sales. Additionally, the New York market had an increase in performance bonuses due to increased sales and broadcast cash flow, and the Los Angeles market had an increase in salaries related to on-air talent. This increase in operating expenses was offset by lower general and administrative expenses due to improved collections. Broadcast Cash Flow. Broadcast cash flow was $52.7 million for fiscal year 1999, compared to $36.6 million for fiscal year 1998, an increase of $16.1 million or 44.0%. This increase was attributable to strong revenue growth and effective management of operating expenses. Our broadcast cash flow margin increased to 54.2% for fiscal year 1999 compared to 48.1% for fiscal year 1998. Corporate Expenses. Total corporate expenses were $10.6 million for fiscal year 1999, compared to $6.9 million for fiscal year 1998, an increase of $3.7 million or 53.6%. The increase in corporate expenses resulted mainly from performance bonuses paid to our executives, increases in the number of our employees and increased travel and other corporate overhead expenses relating to our expansion into new markets. EBITDA. EBITDA was $42.1 million for fiscal year 1999, compared to $29.7 million for fiscal year 1998, an increase of $12.4 million or 41.8%. Our EBITDA margin was 43.2% for fiscal year 1999, compared to 26 30 39.0% for fiscal year 1998. The increase in EBITDA and EBITDA margin was caused by the increase in net revenues which was partially offset by the increase in station operating expenses and corporate expenses. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $9.9 million for fiscal year 1999, compared to $8.9 million for fiscal year 1998, an increase of $1.0 million or 11.2%. The increase was related to an increase in amortization costs as a result of the stations purchased in Puerto Rico, WCMA-FM, WMEG-FM and WEGM-FM and the purchase of 80% of the stock of JuJu Media, Inc. Operating Income. Operating income was $32.2 million for fiscal year 1999, compared to $20.9 million for fiscal year 1998, an increase of $11.3 million or 54.1%. The increase was due to the increase in net revenues, partially offset by the increase in operating expenses. Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense was $21.2 million for fiscal year 1999, compared to $20.9 million for fiscal year 1998, an increase of $0.3 million or 1.4%. This increase was caused by lower interest income in fiscal year 1999 related to lower cash balances in fiscal year 1999. Other Income (Expense). We had other expenses of $0.7 million for fiscal year 1999, compared to other income of $36.0 million for fiscal year 1998. The other expenses in 1999 resulted primarily from an additional write-down of owned vacant real estate in the Los Angeles area and the Nuestra Telefonica receivable. The other income in 1998 was the result of a gain on the sale of our AM stations during fiscal year 1998. Net Income. Our net income was $5.8 million for fiscal year 1999, compared to $18.8 million for fiscal year 1998, a decrease of $13.0 million or 69.1%. The decrease was caused by the absence of the gain on the sale of our AM stations. After-Tax Cash Flow. After-tax cash flow was $15.7 million for fiscal year 1999, compared to $7.5 million for fiscal year 1998, an increase of $8.2 million or 109.3%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in EBITDA, offset by higher income taxes. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our primary source of liquidity is cash on hand, cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, undrawn commitments that are available under the $150.0 million senior credit facility arranged by Lehman Brothers Inc. in July 2000. The senior credit facility includes a six-year $25.0 million revolving credit facility and $125.0 million multi-draw term loan facility. Our ability to increase our indebtedness is limited by the terms of the credit agreement governing our senior credit facilities and the indenture governing our senior subordinated notes. Additionally, the credit agreement and indenture place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates and consolidations and mergers, among other things. Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $28.7 million, 20.8 million and $10.9 million for fiscal years 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Changes in our net cash flows from operating activities are primarily a result of changes in advertising revenues and station operating expenses which are affected by the acquisition and disposition of stations during those periods, as well as changes in corporate expenses which included a non-recurring severance payment of $10.2 million for the benefit of certain retiring executives in fiscal year 2000. Net cash flows used in investing activities were $205.1 million and $38.4 million for fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net cash flows provided by investing activities was $41.5 million for fiscal year 1998. Changes in our net cash flow from investing activities are primarily a result of the acquisition and disposition of stations during those periods. Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $219.0 million, for fiscal year 2000. Net cash flows used in financing activities were $3.1 million and $17.8 million for fiscal years 1999 and 1998, respectively. 27 31 Changes in our net cash flows from financing are primarily a result of redemption of and proceeds from notes and preferred stock and proceeds from our initial public offering of Class A Common Stock and from senior credit facilities. For fiscal year 2000, total capital expenditures were $3.8 million. These expenditures were financed by funds from operations. Management believes that cash from operating activities, together with cash on hand, should be sufficient to permit us to meet our obligations in the foreseeable future, including: (1) required significant cash interest payments pursuant to the terms of the senior subordinated notes due 2009, (2) operating obligations and (3) capital expenditures. Assumptions (none of which can be assured) that underlie management's belief, include: - the economic conditions within the radio broadcasting market and economic conditions in general will not deteriorate in any material respect; - we will continue to successfully implement our business strategy; - we will not incur any material unforeseen liabilities, including environmental liabilities; and - no future acquisitions will adversely affect our liquidity. We continuously review, and are currently reviewing, opportunities to acquire additional radio stations, primarily in the largest Hispanic markets in the United States. We engage in discussions regarding potential acquisitions from time to time in the ordinary course of business. On November 10, 2000, we completed the purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of Rodriguez Communications, Inc. and the purchase of radio station KTCY-FM, serving the Dallas, Texas market, from New World Broadcasters Corp. ("New World") for total consideration of $164.3 million, consisting of $42.6 million of SBS Class A Common Stock and $121.7 million in cash. The purchase of RCI includes the acquisition of the following radio stations: KMJR-FM (formerly KFOX-FM) and KNJR-FM (formerly KREA-FM) broadcasting, on a co-channeled basis, at 93.5 MHz serving the Los Angeles, California market; KXJO-FM broadcasting at 92.7 MHz serving the San Francisco, California market; and KSAH-AM broadcasting at 720 kHz serving the San Antonio, Texas market. On May 8, 2000 we entered into a stock purchase agreement with New World and 910 Broadcasting Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of New World, to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of 910 Broadcasting Corp. which owns and operates radio station KXEB-AM serving the Dallas, Texas market. We have not yet closed the purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of 910 Broadcasting Corp. FCC approval is pending for this transaction, and we cannot assure you that the acquisition will occur. We began operating radio station KXEB-AM on May 8, 2000 under a time brokerage agreement with New World and 910 Broadcasting Corp., which will continue until the closing of the purchase of all the outstanding capital stock of 910 Broadcasting Corp. On November 2, 2000 we entered into an asset purchase agreement with International Church of the Four Square Gospel to purchase radio station KFSG-FM in Los Angeles, California at a purchase price of $250.0 million. In connection with this acquisition, we made an initial deposit of $5.0 million toward the purchase price. The agreement contains customary representations and warranties, and the closing of our acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval from the FCC. The agreement may be terminated by us or by the seller if the closing does not occur by December 31, 2001. We have no other written understandings, letters of intent or contracts to acquire radio stations or other companies. We expect to fund the acquisition of radio station KFSG-FM by increasing our senior credit facility, accessing the high yield capital market and undertaking certain potential dispositions. However, there can be no assurance that financing from any of these sources, if available, can be obtained on favorable terms. 28 32 YEAR 2000 ISSUE To date, no material interruptions to our operations have occurred as a result of the year 2000 issue. The greatest threat to our ability to continue broadcasting due to year 2000 issues comes from the utilities which we depend on. To date, we are not aware of any external utility vendor with a year 2000 issue that has materially impacted our results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. While we believe our efforts provide reasonable assurance that material disruptions will not occur due to internal or vendor failure, the possibility of interruption still exists. In 1999 we performed various analysis of potential problems related to the year 2000 issue. Internally, we bear some risks in the following areas: computer hardware and software for our accounting and administrative functions, computer-controlled programming of music and the transmission of our signals. Externally, we are at risk, like most companies, of losing power and phone lines. As of December 20, 2000 we spent $0.1 million to upgrade/replace non-compliant systems and equipment. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is expected to be effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2001. Management does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 1999, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the FASB issued EITF 99-17, "Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions", which provides guidance on barter transactions that involve nonmonetary exchanges of advertising. EITF 99-17 requires an entity to account for barter advertising revenues and expenses at the determinable fair value of the advertising surrendered or received in the exchange, or at book value if the fair value can not be determined within reasonable limits. The adoption of EITF 99-17 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition", which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met in order to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies. In June 2000, the SEC issued SAB 101B, "Second Amendment: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" which extends the effective date of SAB 101 to the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years commencing after December 15, 1999. At this time, management is still assessing the impact of SAB 101 on our financial position and results of operations. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (A Replacement of SFAS No. 125)". SFAS No. 140 provides guidance on accounting for (1) securitization transactions involving financial assets; (2) sales of financial assets (including loan participations); (3) factoring transactions; (4) wash sales; (5) servicing assets and liabilities; (6) collateralized borrowing arrangements; (7) securities lending transactions; (8) repurchase agreements; and (9) extinguishment of liabilities. While most of the provisions of SFAS No. 140 will become effective for transactions entered into after March 31, 2001, companies with calendar fiscal year ends that hold beneficial interests from previous securitizations will be required to make additional disclosures in their December 31, 2000 financial statements. Management does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 140 will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. 29 33 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on the results of operations for each of our fiscal years in the three-year period ended September 24, 2000. However, there can be no assurance that future inflation would not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition. We are not subject to currency fluctuations since we do not have any international operations other than Puerto Rico where the currency is the U.S. dollar. We have limited market risk exposure since we do not have any outstanding variable rate debt or derivative financial and commodity instruments as of December 20, 2000. Our financial instruments outstanding at September 24, 2000 with market risk are our 9 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 and our 12 1/2% Senior Notes due 2002 of which only an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 remains outstanding. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The information called for by this Item 8 is included in Item 14, under "Financial Statements" and "Financial Statement Schedule" appearing at the end of this annual report on Form 10-K. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE There have been no changes in or disagreements between us and our accountants on accounting or financial disclosure during our two most recent fiscal years or any subsequent interim period.

The option plan provides for the granting of stock options to individuals selected by the compensation committee of the board of directors (or by the board if such committee is not appointed). An aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under this option plan. The option plan allows us to tailor incentive compensation for the retention of personnel, to support corporate and business objectives, and to anticipate and respond to a changing business environment and competitive compensation practices. As of September 24, 2000, options to purchase 1,593,552 shares of Class A Common Stock have been granted under this plan at exercise prices ranging from $10.00 to $24.63 per share. The compensation committee, or such other committees as the board of directors shall determine, has discretion to select the participants, to determine the type, size and terms of each award, to modify the terms of awards, to determine when awards will be granted and paid, and to make all other determinations which it deems necessary or desirable in the interpretation and administration of the option plan. The option plan terminates ten years from the date that it was approved and adopted by the stockholders of SBS. Generally, a participant's rights and interest under the option plan are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Options, which include non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options, are rights to purchase a specified number of shares of Class A Common Stock at a price fixed by the compensation committee. The option price may be less than, equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares of Class A Common Stock, but in no event will the exercise price of an incentive stock option be less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Options will expire no later than ten years after the date on which they are granted (five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to 10% stockholders). Options will become exercisable at such times and in such installments as the compensation committee or other designated committee shall determine. Notwithstanding this, any nonexercisable options shall immediately vest and become exercisable upon a change in control of SBS. Upon termination of a participant's employment with SBS, options that are not exercisable will be forfeited immediately and options that are exercisable will remain exercisable for twelve months following any termination by reason of an optionholder's death, disability or retirement. If termination is for any other reason other than cause, exercisable options will remain exercisable for three months following such termination. Payment of the option price must be made in full at the time of exercise in such form (including, but not limited to, cash or common stock of SBS) as the compensation committee may determine. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, merger, consolidation, distribution of assets, or any other change in the corporate structure of shares of SBS, the compensation committee will have the discretion to make any adjustments it deems appropriate in the number and kind of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options and vesting of grants under the option plan and in the exercise price of outstanding options. NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN We have also adopted a separate option plan for our non-employee directors. The terms of the plan provide that the board of directors has the discretion to grant stock options to any non-employee director. An aggregate of 300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under this option plan. The plan is administered by the board of directors. In connection with their election as directors, on November 2, 1999, we granted each of Messrs. Shrinsky and Martinez an option under this plan to purchase 50,000 shares of Class A Common Stock exercisable at $20.00 per share. Of these options to purchase 50,000 shares, options to purchase 10,000 shares vested immediately and options to purchase 10,000 shares vested on November 2, 2000. Options to purchase 10,000 shares vest each year over the next three years on the anniversary of the grant so long as Messrs. Shrinsky and Martinez remain directors. Mr. Shrinsky holds his 37 41 options for the benefit of his law firm, Kaye, Scholer, Fierman, Hays & Handler, LLP. Any non-exercisable options shall immediately vest and become exercisable upon a change in control of SBS. If a non-employee director's service as a director is terminated for any reason, all options held by the non-employee director which have not then vested shall terminate automatically. 401(k) PLAN We offer a tax-qualified employee savings and retirement plan (the "401(k) Plan") covering our employees. Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, an employee may elect to reduce his annual salary by 1%-15%, not to exceed the statutorily prescribed annual limit which is $10,500 for 2000, and have the amount of such reduction contributed to the 401(k) Plan. We may, at our option and in our sole discretion, make matching and/or profit sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of all participants. The 401(k) Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code so that contributions by employees or by us to the 401(k) Plan and income earned on plan contributions are not taxable to employees until distributed to them and contributions by us will be deductible by us when, and if, made. The trustees under the 401(k) Plan, at the direction of each participant, invest such participant's assets in the 401(k) Plan in selected investment options. LIMITATIONS ON DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' LIABILITY Our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation has a provision which limits the liability of directors to us to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. The third amended and restated certificate of incorporation specifies that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. This limitation does not apply to actions by a director or officer that do not meet the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for SBS to indemnify directors or officers. Our amended and restated by-laws provide for indemnification of directors and officers (and others) in the manner, under the circumstances and to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally authorizes indemnification as to all expenses incurred or imposed as a result of actions, suits or proceedings if the indemnified parties act in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of SBS. Each director has entered into an indemnification agreement with us that provides for indemnification to the fullest extent provided by law. We believe that these provisions are necessary or useful to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We have obtained insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers that provides for coverage of up to $100.0 million. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or officer as to which indemnification is being sought. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION Our board of directors maintains a Compensation Committee, whose members consist of Mr. Alarcon, Jr., Roman Martinez IV and Jason L. Shrinsky. Mr. Alarcon, Jr. is our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. Roman Martinez IV and Jason L. Shrinsky are directors. The Compensation Committee did not meet in fiscal year 2000. The Compensation Committee met on November 13, 2000 to review compensation items for fiscal years 2000 and 2001. See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." 38 42 ITEM 12.

(15) We obtained this information from Form 13F Filed November 1, 2000. (16) Mr. Pablo Raul Alarcon, Sr.'s shares are held in a Flint Trust with Mr. Alarcan, Sr. as sole beneficiary. ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Upon the completion of our initial public offering, we purchased an annuity for $10.2 million from The Canada Life Assurance Company as a retirement vehicle for the benefit of Mr. Alarcon, Sr., our Chairman Emeritus and a member of our board of directors, and Mr. Grimalt, our Secretary Emeritus and a member of our board of directors. Messrs. Alarcon, Sr. and Grimalt will receive annual payments of approximately $700,000 and $300,000, respectively. On February 2, 2000, SBS completed the sale of WVMQ-FM in Key West, Florida and WZMQ-FM in Key Largo, Florida to South Broadcasting System, Inc., a company owned by Mr. Pablo Raul Alarcon, Sr., our Chairman Emeritus and a member of our board of directors, for total cash consideration of $0.7 million. We lease a two-bedroom furnished condominium apartment in midtown Manhattan from Mr. Alarcon, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, for a monthly rent of $9,000. The lease commenced in August 1987 and will expire in August 2007. During fiscal years 1999 and 1998, we renovated the apartment and incurred approximately $0.2 million in renovation expenses. We made no renovations in fiscal year 2000. Generally, the apartment is used by Mr. Alarcon, Jr. while on SBS business in New York. We believe that the lease for this apartment is at the market rate. 40 44 For the year ended September 26, 1999, SBS paid operating expenses aggregating $0.1 million for a boat owned by CMQ Radio, an entity owned equally by Messrs. Alarcon, Sr. and Alarcon, Jr. The boat was used by SBS for business entertainment. For the year ended September 26, 1999, the amount paid by SBS for our use of the boat owned by CMQ Radio was comparable to amounts we would have paid had we leased the boat from an unaffiliated party. In November 1999, we discontinued our arrangement with respect to this boat. We have not made any further payments to CMQ Radio, Inc. Effective July 1993, Messrs. Alarcon, Sr. and Alarcon, Jr. executed promissory notes to SBS for the principal amounts of $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. These promissory notes evidenced loans made by SBS to Messrs. Alarcon, Sr. and Alarcon, Jr. over several prior years. The notes were to mature in 2001 and bore interest at the rate of 6% percent per annum until July 19, 1994 and after that at the lesser of 9% percent per annum or the prime rate charged by the Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. Interest on the unpaid principal amount of the notes was payable annually. In December 1995, SBS exchanged these promissory notes for amended and restated notes in the principal amounts of $0.6 million and $1.9 million due from Messrs. Alarcon, Sr. and Alarcon, Jr., respectively. The amended and restated notes bore interest at the rate of 6.36% per annum, and mature on December 30, 2025, and the interest was payable in 30 equal annual installments of $43,570 and $143,158, respectively, on December 30th of each year starting December 30, 1996. As of September 26, 1999, $0.6 million and $1.9 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest of $0.1 million and $0.4 million to date, was outstanding, respectively, on these promissory notes. Upon completion of our initial public offering, Messrs. Alarcon, Sr. and Alarcon, Jr. paid all remaining amounts outstanding under these notes using their portion of the proceeds they received as selling stockholders in our initial public offering. In 1992, Messrs. Alarcon, Sr. and Alarcon, Jr. acquired a building in Coral Gables, Florida, for the purpose of housing the studios of WCMQ-AM and WCMQ-FM. In June 1992, Spanish Broadcasting System of Florida, Inc., a subsidiary of SBS, entered into a 20-year net lease with Messrs. Alarcon, Sr. and Alarcon, Jr. for the Coral Gables building which provides for a base monthly rent of $9,000. Effective June 1, 1998, the lease on this building was assigned to SBS Realty Corp., a realty management company owned by Messrs. Alarcon, Sr. and Alarcon, Jr. This building currently houses the offices and studios of all of our Miami stations. The lease on the stations' previous studios expired in October 1993, was for less than half the space of the stations' present studios and had a monthly rental of approximately $7,500. Based upon our prior lease for studio space, we believe that the lease for the current studio is at market rates. In 1992, Mr. Alarcon, Jr. and other investors organized Nuestra Telefonica, Inc., a New York corporation, to operate long distance telephone service in Spanish aimed at the Hispanic population in the markets served by our radio stations. In February 1993, Nuestra Telefonica entered into an access agreement with a common carrier and commenced operations. Nuestra Telefonica advertised its Spanish-language long distance telephone service on our radio stations in Los Angeles and New York and purchased this air time at standard station rates. Since early 1994, Nuestra Telefonica has not utilized any air time on our radio stations. As of September 26, 1999 Nuestra Telefonica owed SBS $0.4 million related to unpaid air time and $0.3 million related to certain expenses paid by SBS on Nuestra Telefonica's behalf. The amounts due were recorded on our books as a receivable and due from related party asset, respectively. Mr. Alarcon, Jr. personally guaranteed the payment of $0.5 million of Nuestra Telefonica's obligations to SBS. Mr. Alarcon, Jr. is Nuestra Telefonica's Chairman and majority shareholder. Joseph A. Garcia, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, is Nuestra Telefonica's President and a minority shareholder. Nuestra Telefonica is no longer an operating entity and, therefore, upon the completion of our initial public offering on November 2, 1999, we forgave the loans and canceled the guarantees described above. The unreserved portion of these receivables was written-off by SBS at September 26, 1999 and is included in our financial statements under the line item "Other income (expense), net". Mr. Grimalt's son is employed by SBS as an operations manager. He was paid $129,419 and a bonus of $5,000 for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2000. As part of his compensation we also paid the leasing costs for an automobile in the amount of $8,028. Mr. Alarcon, Jr.'s uncle is currently employed by us as an operations manager and his salary is $76,500. 41 45 Roman Martinez IV, one of our directors, is a Managing Director for Lehman Brothers Inc. which acts and acted as financial advisor to us in connection with our financings and one of our acquisitions in fiscal year 2000. Jason L. Shrinsky, one of our directors, is a partner of Kaye, Scholer, Fierman, Hays & Handler, LLP, which firm has regularly represented us as our legal counsel and will continue to do so. See "Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant -- Committees of the Board of Directors." and "Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." On November 30, 2000, we loaned Luiz Diaz-Albertini, our Vice President/Group Sales, $50,000 for which he signed a promissory note payable in two years, but which is subject to forgiveness if Mr. Albertini meets certain sales targets. Our new corporate headquarters is located on the top floor of a 26-story office building owned by Irradio Limited Partnership, a Florida partnership, for which the general partner is Irradio Investment, Inc., a company wholly-owned by Mr. Alarcon, Jr. As of December 1, 2000, we are leasing our office space under a 10-year lease, with the right to renew for two consecutive five-year terms. We believe the monthly rent we pay for our new office space is below market value. PART IV ITEM 14. EXHIBITS, FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES, AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K. (a)1.

F-1 47 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors and Stockholders Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc.: We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. and subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 26, 1999 and September 24, 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended September 24, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. /s/ KPMG LLP Miami, Florida December 8, 2000 F-2 48 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC.

Additionally, the Company operates six Spanish-language radio stations serving the Dallas, San Antonio, Los Angeles, and San Francisco markets under various time brokerage agreements (see note 3). The domestic broadcasting industry is subject to extensive federal regulation which, among other things, requires approval by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") for the issuance, renewal, transfer and assignment of broadcasting station operating licenses and limits the number of broadcasting properties the Company may acquire. The Company operates in the domestic radio broadcasting industry which is subject to extensive and changing regulation by the FCC. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS (a) Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to in this paragraph collectively as "Subsidiary Guarantors") have guaranteed the Company's senior notes referred to in note 8 on a joint and several basis. The Company has not included separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors because (i) all of the Subsidiary Guarantors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, and (ii) the guarantees issued by the Subsidiary Guarantors are full and unconditional. The Company has not included separate parent-only financial statements since the parent is a holding company with no independent assets or F-8 54 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) operations other than its investments in its subsidiaries. Condensed consolidating unaudited financial information for the Company and its guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries is as follows:

The Company's fiscal year is the 52-week or 53-week period which ends on the last Sunday of September. (b) Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when advertisements are aired. (c) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company depreciates the cost of its property and equipment using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or the useful life of the improvements. (d) Long-Lived Assets The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used or disposed of by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. See note 6 for impairment losses related to fixed assets. F-10 56 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (e) Intangible Assets Intangible assets primarily represent the portion of the purchase price of station acquisitions allocated to FCC licenses of those stations and are amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years, based on the industry practice of renewing FCC licenses periodically, and other intangible assets, including goodwill, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective estimated useful lives. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of the carrying amount of intangible assets, including goodwill, as well as the amortization period to determine whether current events or circumstances warrant adjustments to the carrying value and/or revised estimates of useful lives. This evaluation consists of the projection of undiscounted cash flows for each of the Company's radio stations over the remaining amortization periods of the related intangible assets. If such projections indicate that undiscounted cash flows are not expected to be adequate to recover the carrying amounts of the related intangible assets, a loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. At this time, the Company believes that no significant impairment of its intangible assets, including goodwill, has occurred and that no reduction of the estimated useful lives is warranted. This assessment will be impacted if such projections are not achieved. (f) Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs relate to the refinancing of the Company's debt in October 1999 (see note 8) and additional debt financing obtained in July 2000 (see note 10). Deferred financing costs are being amortized using a method which approximates the effective-interest method over the respective lives of the related indebtedness. (g) Barter Transactions Barter transactions represent advertising time exchanged for promotional items, advertising, supplies, equipment and services. Revenues from barter transactions are recognized as income when advertisements are broadcast. Expenses are recognized when goods or services are received or used. The Company records barter transactions at the fair value of goods or services received or advertising surrendered, whichever is more readily determinable. During fiscal 2000, the Company entered into a barter transaction with an Internet Service Provider ("ISP") whereby the ISP will provide a guaranteed minimum of impressions to the Company on the ISP's networks over a two-year period in exchange for advertising time on certain of the Company's stations, with an aggregate fair value of $19.7 million at the date of the transaction. Unearned revenue related to this transaction consists of the excess of the aggregate fair value of impressions delivered by the ISP, over the aggregate fair value of advertising time delivered by the Company. The total amount of unearned revenue related to this transaction at September 24, 2000 is $0.2 million, and is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. (h) Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents, consisting primarily of interest-bearing money market accounts and certificates of deposits which have an original maturity date of less than three months, totaled approximately $17.0 million and $59.6 million at September 26, 1999 and September 24, 2000, respectively. (i) Income Taxes The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the F-11 57 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. (j) Advertising Costs The Company incurs various marketing and promotional costs to add and maintain listenership. These costs are charged to expense in the period incurred. (k) Deferred Commitment Fee On December 30, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a national advertising agency (the "Agency") whereby the Agency would serve as the Company's exclusive sales representative for all national sales for a seven-year period. Pursuant to this agreement, the Agency agreed to pay a commitment fee of $5.1 million to the Company, of which $1.0 million was paid upon execution of the agreement and $4.1 million was to be remitted on a monthly basis over a three-year period, through January 2000. During fiscal year 2000, the Agency revised its agreement with the Company to reduce the total commitment fee to $5.0 million. The commitment fee is recognized on a straight-line basis over the seven-year contractual term of the arrangement as a reduction of Agency commissions. Deferred commitment fee represents the excess of payments received from the Agency over the amount recognized. (l) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (m) Concentration of Risk All of the Company's business is conducted in the New York, Florida, California, Illinois, Texas, and Puerto Rico markets. Net revenue earned from radio stations in these markets as a percentage of total revenue for the fiscal years ended September 27, 1998, September 26, 1999 and September 24, 2000 is as follows:
1998 1999 2000 ---- ---- ---- New York................................................ 44% 44% 40% Florida................................................. 28% 24% 21% California.............................................. 17% 17% 12% Illinois................................................ 11% 11% 12% Texas................................................... -- 2% 4% Puerto Rico............................................. -- 2% 11% --- --- --- 100% 100% 100% === === ===
The increase in market concentration risk in Puerto Rico in fiscal 2000 results from the acquisitions of WCMA, WMEG, and WEGM in fiscal 1999 and WIOA-FM, WIOB-FM, WIOC-FM, WCOM-FM, WZMT-FM, WZNT-FM, WOYE-FM, and WCTA-FM in fiscal 2000 as discussed in note 3. F-12 58 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (n) Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share The Company has presented net loss per common share pursuant to SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98, certain common stock and common stock equivalents issued for nominal consideration prior to the initial filing of a registration statement relating to an initial public offering are treated as outstanding for the entire period. The Company had no nominal issuances during this period. Basic net loss per common share was computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to common stock equivalents as if they were outstanding for the entire period. Common stock equivalents were not considered for the years presented since their effect would be antidilutive. Common stock equivalents of 8,798,612 and 220,123 in fiscal 1998 and 2000, respectively, related to warrants outstanding (see note 9) and outstanding stock options (see note 13), respectively. There were no common stock equivalents outstanding at September 26, 1999.

(o) Fair Value of Financial Instruments SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value of certain financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets and due from related party, as well as accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, as reflected in the consolidated financial statements, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the Company's other long-term debt instruments approximate the carrying amount as the interest rates approximate the Company's current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. F-13 59 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The estimated fair value of the Company's senior notes and preferred stock is as follows (in millions):
1999 2000 ----------------- ----------------- CARRYING FAIR CARRYING FAIR AMOUNT VALUE AMOUNT VALUE -------- ----- -------- ----- 12 1/2% Senior unsecured notes................... $ 92.3 102.5 0.1 0.1 11% Senior unsecured notes....................... 75.0 81.4 -- -- 14 1/4% Series A senior exchangeable preferred stock.......................................... 235.9 258.4 -- -- 9 5/8% Senior subordinated notes................. -- -- 235.0 233.2
The fair value estimates of the senior notes and preferred stock were based upon quotes from major financial institutions taking into consideration current rates offered to the Company for debt instruments of the same remaining maturities. (p) Redeemable Preferred Stock Redeemable preferred stock is stated at redemption value less the unamortized discount. The discount is accreted into the carrying value of the preferred stock through the date at which the preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable with a charge to accumulated deficit using the effective-interest method. During fiscal year 2000, the Company redeemed its redeemable preferred stock and accreted the remaining original issue discount with a charge to accumulated deficit (see note 8). (q) Stock Option Plans The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation," permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123. (r) Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. (s) Segment Reporting SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial reporting as of and for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended September 24, 2000, since the Company believes it has only one reportable segment.

(8) SENIOR NOTES AND PREFERRED STOCK 12 1/2% Senior Unsecured Notes On June 29, 1994, the Company, through a private placement offering (the "Offering") completed the sale of 107,059 units (the "Units"), each consisting of $1,000 principal amount of 12 1/2% Senior Notes (the "12 1/2% Notes") due 2002 and warrants to purchase 5,352,950 shares of Class B common stock. The 12 1/2% Notes and warrants are separately transferable. The 12 1/2% Notes were issued at a discount and generated proceeds to the Company of $87.8 million, net of financing costs of $6.2 million. Of the $94.0 million of gross proceeds, $88.6 million was allocated to the 12 1/2% Notes and $5.4 million was determined to be the value of the warrants. Pursuant to the 12 1/2% Notes, the Company was required to use the greater of $25.0 million or 50 percent of the net proceeds from any disposition of certain asset sales (including the FCC broadcast licenses of the AM stations referred to in note 4) to make offers to purchase the 12 1/2% Notes at 110 percent of the principal value thereof. On October 17, 1997, the Company made a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of the 12 1/2% Notes up to $22.7 million plus accrued interest up to, but not including the payment date. The amount payable by the Company was 110 percent of the principal amount of the 12 1/2% Notes. The Company paid $6.3 million to the noteholders who responded to the tender offer and purchased $5.5 million in principal amount of 12 1/2% Notes for $6.0 million plus accrued interest of $0.3 million in November 1997. The Company also repurchased $7.7 million in principal amount of 12 1/2% Notes for $9.0 million plus accrued interest of $0.4 million in November 1997. The Company recognized a loss on the tender offer and repurchased notes of $1.6 million, net of income tax benefit of $1.1 million, due to the premium paid for the 12 1/2% Notes and the subsequent write-off of the deferred financing costs and original issue discounts related to the 12 1/2% Notes purchased. This amount has been classified as an extraordinary item in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. On November 2, 1999, the Company repurchased $101.5 million in principal amount of 12 1/2% Notes.

This loss relates to the premium paid on the repurchase of the 12 1/2% Notes, the write-off of related deferred financing costs, and the amortization of the remaining original issue discount on the 12 1/2% Notes, and is classified as an extraordinary item in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company also issued $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 11% Senior Unsecured Notes (the "11% Senior Notes") due 2004. In connection with this transaction, the Company capitalized financing costs of $5.7 million related to the 11% Senior Notes and charged issuance costs of $9.0 million related to the Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to paid-in capital. On November 2, 1999, the Company repurchased $75.0 million in principal amount of 11% Senior Notes. In connection with this repurchase, the Company realized a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $6.6 million, net of income taxes of approximately $5.1 million.

On December 2, 1999, the Company redeemed in full the Series A Preferred Stock. In connection with this redemption, the Company recorded total additional dividends of approximately $28.4 million, on the Series A Preferred Stock, which reduced the income available to common stockholders in the accompanying fiscal 2000 consolidated statement of operations.

(14) COMMITMENTS (a) Leases The Company occupies a building under a capital lease agreement with certain stockholders of the Company expiring in June 2012. The amount capitalized under this lease agreement and included in property and equipment at September 26, 1999 and September 24, 2000 is as follows:

The Company leases office space and facilities and certain equipment under operating leases, one of which is with a related party (see note 12), that expire at various dates through 2035. Certain leases provide for base rental payments plus escalation charges for real estate taxes and operating expenses. F-24 70 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) At September 24, 2000, future minimum lease payments under such leases are as follows:

Total rent expense for the fiscal years ended September 27, 1998, September 26, 1999 and September 24, 2000 amounted to $1.1 million, $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The Company has agreements to sublease its radio frequencies and portions of its tower sites. Such agreements provide for payments through 2004. The future minimum rental income to be received under these agreements as of September 24, 2000 is as follows:
FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER AMOUNT - ---------------------------- ---------- 2001........................................... $ 710,246 2002........................................... 589,374 2003........................................... 492,044 2004........................................... 306,044 ---------- $2,097,708 ==========
(b) Employment Agreements At September 24, 2000, the Company is committed to employment contracts for certain executives, on-air talent and general managers expiring through 2005. Future payments under such contracts are as follows:
FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER AMOUNT - ---------------------------- ----------- 2001.......................................... $ 5,143,450 2002.......................................... 4,453,354 2003.......................................... 3,457,582 2004.......................................... 2,292,911 2005.......................................... 887,494 ----------- $16,234,790 ===========
Included in the future payments schedule above is a five-year employment agreement with the CEO. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of not less than $1.0 million, and a cash bonus equal to 7.5 percent of the dollar increase in same station broadcast cash flow for any fiscal year, including acquired F-25 71 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) stations on a pro forma basis. Under the terms of the agreement, the CEO's annual base salary and cash bonus may be increased by the board of directors in its sole discretion. The total cash bonus earned by the CEO for fiscal 2000 was $1.0 million, of which $0.8 million was paid in fiscal 2000 and $0.2 million is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Certain employees' contracts provide for additional amounts to be paid if station ratings or cash flow targets are met. (c) 401(k) Profit Sharing In September 1999, the Company adopted a tax-qualified employee savings and retirement plan ("the 401(k) Plan"). The 401(k) Plan provides for Company contributions to match 25 percent of an eligible employee's contributions, up to 5 percent of the employee's base monthly earnings. All employees over the age of 21 that have completed at least 500 hours of service are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. There were no contributions associated with this plan to date. (15) CONTINGENCIES In connection with the sale of WXLX-AM (see note 4), the Company assigned a lease for a transmitter site which is located on a former landfill which ceased operations in the late 1960s. As part of the sales agreement, the Company retained potential exposure relating to possible environmental liabilities relating to this site. Management is unable to assess the likelihood that any claim for remediation of this site will arise and no amounts have been accrued in the consolidated financial statements relating to this contingent liability. On September 28, 1999, the Company received notice from the purchaser of KXMG-AM (see note 4) that it would make a claim against the Company for indemnification under the agreement pursuant to which KXMG-AM was sold, for the removal of an underground fuel storage tank located on the site of KXMG-AM's transmitter. The notice did not specify the amount involved in the indemnification claim. The Company does not have sufficient information to assess the potential exposure related to this matter, and no amounts have been accrued in the consolidated financial statements relating to this contingent liability. (16) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is expected to be effective for the Company's fiscal year ending September 30, 2001. Management does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In November 1999, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the FASB issued EITF 99-17, "Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions", which provides guidance on barter transactions that involve nonmonetary exchanges of advertising. EITF 99-17 requires an entity to account for barter advertising revenues and expenses at the determinable fair value of the advertising surrendered or received in the exchange, or at book value if the fair value can not be determined within reasonable limits. The adoption of EITF 99-17 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition", which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met in order to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition F-26 72 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) policies. In June 2000, the SEC issued SAB 101B, "Second Amendment: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" which extends the effective date of SAB 101 to the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal years commencing after December 15, 1999. At this time, management is still assessing the impact of SAB 101 on the Company's financial position and results of operations. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (A Replacement of SFAS No. 125)". SFAS No. 140 provides guidance on accounting for (1) securitization transactions involving financial assets; (2) sales of financial assets (including loan participations); (3) factoring transactions; (4) wash sales; (5) servicing assets and liabilities; (6) collateralized borrowing arrangements; (7) securities lending transactions; (8) repurchase agreements; and (9) extinguishment of liabilities. While most of the provisions of SFAS No. 140 will become effective for transactions entered into after March 31, 2001, companies with calendar fiscal year ends that hold beneficial interests from previous securitizations will be required to make additional disclosures in their December 31, 2000 financial statements. Management does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 140 will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. (17) INCOME TAXES Income tax expense (benefit) for the fiscal years ended September 27, 1998, September 26, 1999 and September 24, 2000 consists of the following and was allocated as follows:
1998 -------------------------------------------------- CURRENT- STATE AND CURRENT DEFERRED LOCAL FEDERAL FEDERAL TOTAL --------- ------- ----------- ----------- Income from operations.............. $950,000 850,000 13,824,032 15,624,032 Extraordinary item -- loss on extinguishment of debt............ -- -- (1,075,149) (1,075,149) -------- ------- ----------- ----------- $950,000 850,000 12,748,883 14,548,883 ======== ======= =========== ===========

During fiscal 1998 and 1999, the Company utilized net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $38.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For fiscal 2000, no net operating losses were utilized. F-27 73 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) The tax effect of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at September 27, 1998, September 26, 1999 and September 24, 2000 is as follows:
1998 1999 2000 ------------ ----------- ----------- Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards......... $ 16,919,249 16,849,019 30,222,128 Foreign net operating loss carryforwards......................... -- -- 819,738 Deferred interest........................ 6,080,278 6,458,459 -- Allowance for doubtful accounts.......... 3,108,024 2,546,384 4,270,372 Fixed assets............................. 474,286 474,286 474,286 Unearned revenue......................... 856,582 1,074,402 863,540 AMT credit............................... 850,000 865,000 865,000 ------------ ----------- ----------- Total gross deferred tax assets....... 28,288,419 28,267,550 37,515,064 Less valuation allowance...................

Total income tax expense (benefit) differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 35 percent for fiscal years 1998, 1999 and 2000 as a result of the following:
1998 1999 2000 ---- ---- ----- Computed "expected" tax expense (benefit)................... 35.0% 35.0% (35.0)% State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit....... 6.5% 5.5% (4.6)% Nondeductible expenses...................................... 0.4% 0.4% 1.0% Other....................................................... 1.8% 2.7% 0.6% ---- ---- ----- 43.7% 43.6% (38.0)%
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of September 27, 1998, September 26, 1999 and September 24, 2000 was $17,396,470. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced. F-28 74 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) At September 24, 2000, the Company has domestic net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income expiring as follows:
NET OPERATING EXPIRING IN SEPTEMBER LOSS CARRYFORWARDS - --------------------- ------------------ 2007........................................ $ 5,597,000 2008........................................ 12,213,000 2009........................................ 11,445,000 2010........................................ 12,868,000 2011........................................ 33,432,000 ----------- $75,555,000 ===========
Additionally at September 24, 2000, the Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $2,050,000 available to offset future taxable income expiring in September 2007. (18) LITIGATION The Company is the defendant in a number of lawsuits and claims incidental in its ordinary course of business, certain of which have been brought by former employees. The litigation which is probable to result in an unfavorable outcome and can be reasonably estimated amounts to $0.3 million which the Company has accrued. The Company does not believe the outcome of any litigation, current or pending, would have a material adverse impact on the financial position or the results of operations of the Company. Additionally, the Company is the defendant in a lawsuit where on October 12, 2000, the plaintiff obtained a $1.9 million final default judgment. The Company believes that the default judgment was improperly entered because, among other reasons, (1) plaintiff's counsel failed to contact the Company counsel prior to seeking the default judgment, (2) the Company can demonstrate excusable neglect and a bona fide defense to the complaint, and (3) the plaintiff did not name a proper corporate entity. The Company does not have sufficient information to assess the outcome of this litigation, and no amounts have been accrued in the consolidated financial statements relating to this contingent liability. (19) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (a) Acquisition of Stations On November 3, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of KFSG-FM broadcasting, serving the Los Angeles, California market, from International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, for total cash consideration of $250.0 million. In connection with this acquisition, the Company made a $5.0 million nonrefundable deposit on the purchase price into escrow. The closing of this acquisition is subject to numerous conditions and approvals, including receipt of regulatory approvals under the Federal communications laws and review by Federal antitrust authorities. The Company expects to fund this transaction by increasing its senior credit facility, accessing the high yield capital markets and undertaking certain potential asset dispositions. The Company expects to close the acquisition by December 31, 2001. However, there can be no assurances that this acquisition can be completed during the expected time frame or at all, or that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing or dispose of certain assets at terms favorable to the Company or at all. F-29 75 SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) On November 10, 2000, the Company closed on all stations acquired from RCI and New World (see note 3), except for KXEB-AM, for total consideration of $164.3 million, consisting of $42.6 million of the Company's Class A common stock and $121.7 million in cash. The Company expects to complete the acquisition of KXEB-AM in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. However, there can be no assurances that the acquisition of KXEB-AM can be completed during the expected time frame or at all. (b) Commitment On December 1, 2000, the Company entered into a lease for its new corporate headquarters with a Florida limited partnership for which the general partner is a company wholly-owned by the Company's CEO. The Company is leasing the office space under a 10-year operating lease with rental payments of approximately $0.4 million per year, with the right to renew for two consecutive five-year terms.

(a) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree: (i) if the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries incurs any Indebtedness (except any incurrence of Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.2 as in effect on the date of this Agreement) or if any Subsidiary issues any Capital Stock (except any issuance of Capital Stock by JuJu Media, Inc., any issuance of Management Equity and any issuance of Capital Stock to the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower) an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds of such incurrence or issuance shall be applied within one Business Day of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in Section 2.12(c); and 37 44 (ii) if the Borrower issues any Capital Stock not constituting Indebtedness and if on the date of such issuance the Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio (computed on a pro forma basis as if Revolving Extensions of Credit were then outstanding in an amount equal to the then Total Revolving Credit Commitments) is greater than 2.5:1, an amount equal to 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance shall be applied within one Business Day of such issuance toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in Section 2.12(c). (b) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such date toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in Section 2.12(c); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales that may be excluded from the foregoing requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not, when added to all amounts previously excluded pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice and not yet reinvested in assets useful in the Borrower's business, exceed $5,000,000 and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments as set forth in Section 2.12(c). (c) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments and Commitment reductions made pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans, second, to reduce permanently any portion of the Term Loan Commitments that then remain unfunded, third, to reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments and, fourth, to the Borrower or such other Person as shall be lawfully entitled thereto. Any such reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swing Line Loans to the extent, if any, that the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced, provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in immediately available funds in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure all L/C Obligations from time to time outstanding and all other Obligations). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the amount of such excess, the Borrower shall, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the amount of such 38 45 excess over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11 and this Section 2.12 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 2.11 and this Section 2.12 (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans (unless the Revolving Credit Loans are being repaid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments terminated) that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. 2.13. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing if the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. (b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing if the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 2.14. Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of 39 46 $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than six Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. 2.15. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. (b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. (c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.0% per annum or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.0% per annum, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2.0% per annum (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.0% per annum), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. 2.16. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day (or 366-day, as the case may be) year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 40 47 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or a Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a). 2.17. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans. If adequate and reasonable means do exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for a future Interest Period and the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively determined by such Lenders) then such Lenders shall promptly direct the Administrative Agent to withdraw such notice. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans. 2.18. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Subject to Section 2.18(c), each payment (other than prepayments) in respect of principal or interest in respect of the Loans, and each payment in respect of fees or expenses payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata 41 48 according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. (b) Each prepayment to be applied to Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders holding such Term Loans pro rata based on the principal amount of the Term Loans held by each Term Loan Lender and shall be applied to the scheduled quarterly installments due on the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.3 pro rata based on the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments. (c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders. (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender's share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the 42 49 rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower. (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower. 2.19. Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.20 and changes in the rate of tax on, or the imposition of a tax on, the overall net income of such Lender); (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. 43 50 (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such reduction. (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 2.20. Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes, branch profits taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Arranger, such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Arranger's, such Agent's or such Lender's having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). Subject to the provisions of Section 2.20(f), if any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Arranger, such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Arranger, such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts that would have been received hereunder had such withholding not been required. The Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall make any required withholding and pay the full amount withheld to the relevant tax authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. (b) The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. 44 51 (c) Subject to Section 2.20(f), the Borrower shall indemnify the Arranger, each Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes arising in connection with payments made under this Agreement (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.20) paid by the Arranger, such Agent or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within ten days from the date the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates makes written demand therefor. (d) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Arranger or the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. (e) The agreements in this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. (f) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, or a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of America (or any jurisdiction thereof) (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or Form 4224 (or any successor forms), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest," a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code and a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, and (ii) any other form or certificate required by a taxing authority (including a certificate required under the Code) that is requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in writing, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. For any period with respect to which a Lender (or Transferee) has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate forms described in this Section 2.20(f) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such 45 52 Lender (or Transferee) shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.20 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes that would have been avoided but for such failure. (g) If and to the extent that any Lender is able, in its sole opinion, to obtain a tax refund or to apply or otherwise take advantage of any offsetting tax credit or other similar tax benefit arising out of or in conjunction with any deduction or withholding which gives rise to an obligation on the Borrower to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.20 then such Lender shall, to the extent that in its sole opinion it can do so without prejudice to the retention of such tax refund or the amount of such credit or benefit and without any other adverse tax consequences for such Lender, reimburse to the Borrower at such time as such tax refund or such tax credit or benefit shall have actually been received by such Lender such amount as such Lender shall, in its sole opinion, have determined to be attributable to such tax refund or the relevant deduction or withholding and as will leave such Lender in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes had not been required. Nothing in this Section 2.20(g) shall oblige any Lender to disclose to the Borrower or any other person any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations or interfere with the right of any Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, no Lender shall be under any obligation to claim relief from its corporate profits or similar tax liability in credits or deductions available to it and, if it does claim, the extent, order and manner in which it does so shall be at its absolute discretion. 2.21. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder. 2.22. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make 46 53 it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender's Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21. 2.23. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22. 2.24. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) or (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.23 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 47 54 SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT 3.1. L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit ("Letters of Credit") for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). (b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law. 3.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof). 3.3. Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after 48 55 the issuance date of such Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee as agreed between the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. 3.4. L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant's own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Percentage in the Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender, regardless of the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, on the first Business Day after demand, at the Issuing Lender's address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment 49 56 in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it. 3.5. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the "Payment Amount"). Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.15(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.15(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.7 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Section 2.7), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. 3.6. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in accordance with the standards or care 50 57 specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower. 3.7. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 3.8. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply. SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Agents and Lenders that: 4.1. Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 26, 2000 (including the notes thereto) (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet"), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of the Rodriguez Acquisitions and (ii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best information available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 26, 2000, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date. (b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at September 26, 1999, September 27, 1998 and September 28, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from KPMG LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at March 26, 2000, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month period ended on such date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related 51 58 schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). Other than the Rodriquez Bridge Loan Agreement and Rodriguez Purchase Agreement, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph. During the period from September 26, 1999 to and including the Closing Date there has been no Disposition by any of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or Property. 4.2. No Change. Since September 26, 1999, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.3. Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.4. Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents and Acquisition Documentation to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and Acquisition Documentation to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with any Permitted Acquisition and the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or any Acquisition Documentation, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices that have been obtained or made (or, in the case of any Permitted Acquisition, will be obtained or made prior to consummation of such Permitted Acquisition) and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19. The Loan Documents, the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture and all Acquisition Documentation has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document, the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture and all Acquisition Documentation upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium 52 59 or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 4.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Acquisition Documentation, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.6. No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or the Acquisition Documentation or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 4.7. No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing. 4.8. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good, marketable and insurable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in or adequate rights to use, all its other material Property, and none of such material Property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3. 4.9. Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No material claim has been asserted or is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, the use of Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect. 4.10. Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all material Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or its 53 60 Subsidiaries, as the case may be). The contents of all such material tax returns are correct and complete in all material respects. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.10, no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge. 4.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit will be used for purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" (within the meaning of Regulation U) or for the purpose of purchasing, carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to involve the Borrower in a violation of Regulation X or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T. No indebtedness being reduced or retired out of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit was or will be incurred for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" (within the meaning of Regulation U). Following application of the proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit, "margin stock" (within the meaning of Regulation U) does not constitute more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. None of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the direct and indirect use of proceeds of the Loans and Letters of Credit) will violate or result in a violation of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U. 4.12. Labor Matters. There are no strikes, stoppages, slowdowns or other labor disputes against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge the Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary. 4.13. ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an "accumulated funding deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under 54 61 ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. 4.14. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X) which limits or conditions its ability to incur Indebtedness. 4.15. Subsidiaries. (a) The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.15 constitute all the Subsidiaries of the Borrower as of the Closing Date. Schedule 4.15 sets forth as of the Closing Date the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage and number of each class of Capital Stock owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. (b) As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors' qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except as disclosed on Schedule 4.15. None of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has issued, or authorized the issuance of, any Disqualified Stock. 4.16. Use of Proceeds. (a) The proceeds of Term Loans funded on any Term Loan Funding Date shall be used solely (i) to fund Rodriquez Bridge Loans that are required to be made by the Company on such Term Loan Funding Date pursuant to the terms of the Rodriguez Bridge Loan Agreement, upon satisfaction of the conditions therein set forth, or (ii) to pay when due in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Documentation for any Permitted Acquisition, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in such Acquisition Documentation, a portion of the purchase price for such Permitted Acquisition in an amount that, when added to any amount concurrently funded by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, is sufficient to pay such purchase price in full. (b) The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Line Loans and the Letters of Credit, shall be used for lawful and permitted corporate purposes. 4.17. Environmental Matters. Other than exceptions to any of the following that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in the payment of a Material Environmental Amount: 55 62 (a) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; and (ii) reasonably believe that compliance with any Environmental Law that is or is expected to become applicable to any of them will be timely attained and maintained, without material expense. (b) Materials of Environmental Concern are not present at, on, under, in, or about any real property now or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or at any other location (including any location to which Materials of Environmental Concern have been sent for re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage, or disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (i) give rise to liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law, or (ii) interfere with the Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries' continued operations, or (iii) impair the fair saleable value of any real property owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. (c) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any notice of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is, or to the knowledge of the Borrower will be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened. (d) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written request for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party under or relating to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or any similar Environmental Law, or with respect to any Materials of Environmental Concern. (e) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into or agreed to any consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other forum for dispute resolution, relating to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law. (f) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has assumed or retained, by contract or operation of law, any liabilities of any kind, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Material of Environmental Concern. 4.18. Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Confidential Information Memorandum or any other document, certificate or statement furnished to the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the date of this Agreement), any untrue statement 56 63 of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Confidential Information Memorandum or in any other documents, certificates and written statements furnished to the Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents. 4.19. Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock described, and as defined, in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when any stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(a) (which financing statements have been duly completed and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent) and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement are made (all of which filings have been duly completed and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent), the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, non-consensual Liens permitted by Section 7.3 to the extent arising by operation of law). (b) The Intellectual Property Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. Upon the filing of (i) the Intellectual Property Security Agreement in the appropriate indexes of the United States Patent and Trademark Office relative to patents and trademarks (within three (3) months after the Closing Date), and the United States Copyright Office relative to copyrights (within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date), together with provision for payment of all requisite fees, and (ii) financing statements in appropriate form for filing in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(b) (which financing statements have been duly completed and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent) the Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property Collateral and the proceeds and products thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior 57 64 and superior in right to any other Person (except non-consensual Liens permitted by Section 7.3 to the extent arising by operation of law). 4.20. Solvency. Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection with the Loan Documents and all Acquisition Documentation will be and will continue to be, Solvent. 4.21. Senior Indebtedness. The Obligations (including the guarantee obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) constitute "Senior Debt" and "Designated Senior Debt" under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture and are Indebtedness permitted to exist under the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture. The provisions of Article Ten of the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture are enforceable by each Lender and each other holder of Obligations in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 4.22. Insurance. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which it is engaged; and none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (a) has received notice from any insurer or agent of such insurer that substantial capital improvements or other material expenditures will have to be made in order to continue such insurance or (b) has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers at a cost that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Administrative Agent has been named as Loss Payee on all property casualty insurance policies for the benefit of any Loan Party. 4.23. Permits and Licenses. (a) The FCC Licenses held by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries constitute all of the licenses, permits, and other authorizations issued by the FCC that are necessary for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to conduct the business in the manner in which it is currently being conducted. (b) All FCC Licenses relating to the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in full force and effect, valid for the balance of the license terms normally applicable to radio stations licensed to the states in which the stations are licensed, and not subject to any conditions outside the ordinary course. The stations subject to such FCC Licenses are operating, and have been operated since their construction or acquisition by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in material compliance with the Communications Act and the FCC's rules, regulations, and written policies promulgated thereunder and with the terms of the FCC Licenses. As of the Closing Date, (i) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not received any notice of apparent liability, notice of violation, order to show cause or other writing from the FCC that may lead to any liability or sanction by the FCC and (ii) there is no proceeding pending by or 58 65 before the FCC relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any station, nor, to the best knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, is any such proceeding threatened and no complaint or investigation is pending or threatened by or before the FCC (other than rulemaking proceedings of general applicability to which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the stations are not parties). The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have timely filed all required reports and notices with the FCC and have paid all amounts due in timely fashion on account of fees and charges to the FCC. (c) All FCC Licenses relating to the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (except, to the extent elected by the Borrower, FCC Licenses that are owned solely by one or more of the Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries and relate solely to the business conducted by any of the Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries) are held by one or more Broadcast License Subsidiaries. (d) Other than exceptions to any of the following that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (or, in the case of Environmental Permits, result in the payment of a Material Environmental Amount), both before and after consummation of each Permitted Acquisition for which Acquisition Documentation has been executed and delivered, (i) each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has obtained and holds all Permits required for any property owned, leased or otherwise operated by or on behalf of, or for the benefit of, such Person and for the operation of each of its businesses as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, (ii) all such Permits are in full force and effect, and each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has performed and observed all requirements of such Permits, (iii) no event has occurred which allows or results in, or after notice or lapse of time would allow or result in, revocation or termination by the issuer thereof or in any other impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit, (iv) no such Permits contain any restrictions, either individually or in the aggregate, that are materially burdensome to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the operation of any of its businesses or any property owned, leased or otherwise operated by such Person, (v) each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries reasonably believes that each of its Permits will be timely renewed and complied with, without material expense, and that any additional Permits that may be required of such Person will be timely obtained and complied with, without material expense, and (vi) the Borrower has no knowledge or reason to believe that any Governmental Authority is considering limiting, suspending, revoking or renewing on materially burdensome terms any such Permit. (e) No consent or authorization of, filing with, Permit from, or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than FCC approval of the transfer of FCC Licenses to Broadcast License Subsidiaries, which (except in the case of FCC Licenses owned solely by one or more of the Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries and relating solely to the business conducted by any of the Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries that the Borrower has not transferred to a Broadcast License Subsidiary) has been obtained. 59 66 SECTION 5.

and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. Upon 86 93 the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available under the Security Documents, including the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, or otherwise available under applicable law or otherwise. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure the undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit and all other Obligations). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Loan Parties (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). SECTION 9. THE AGENTS and ARRANGER 9.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. 87 94 9.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 9.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Arranger, nor any Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for any liability imposed by law, but then only if and to the extent found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from its or any of its Related Persons' personal gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Arranger or the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or for the creation, validity, legality, enforceability, perfection, priority, maintenance or enforcement of any guaranty or Lien required or purporting to be created under any of the Loan Documents or any other collateral security for the Obligations. As against any Secured Party, any matter required herein to be satisfactory to, found acceptable by or otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent may be approved or disapproved by it in its sole discretion, acting as it may see fit given any interest that it or its Affiliates may have and without any duty whatsoever to any other Lender. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. 9.4. Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders required under Section 10.1 to authorize or require such action (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, 88 95 under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders under Section 10.1 to authorize or require such action (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Obligations. 9.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default hereunder unless it has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), except that (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such action that it in good faith determines may be unlawful or that it in good faith believes may be imprudent or may expose it to liability, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such action unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it from the Persons directing such action, and (c) unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such direction, the Administrative Agent may decline to act or may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action that it deems advisable. 9.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Arranger nor any of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Arranger or any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Arranger or any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Arranger and the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Arranger or any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans (and in the case of the Issuing Lender, its Letters of Credit) hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Arranger or any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Arranger nor any Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Arranger or such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 89 96 9.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Arranger and each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Arranger or such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Acquisition Documentation or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Arranger or such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Arranger's or such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder. 9.8. Arranger and Agents in Their Individual Capacities. The Arranger and each Agent and their respective affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Arranger was not the Arranger and such Agent was not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Arranger and each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Arranger or an Agent, as the case may be, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Arranger and each Agent in their respective individual capacities. 9.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days' notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or Letters of Credit. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent's 90 97 notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation as such, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 9.10. Authorization to Release Liens. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to release any Lien covering any Property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is the subject of a Disposition which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be permitted by this Agreement or to have been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 or to be owned by any Subsidiary of the Borrower the Capital Stock of which was transferred, in any such Disposition, to a Person who is not an Affiliate of the Borrower. 9.11. The Arranger, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent. The parties acknowledge and agree that Lehman Brothers Inc. (in such capacity, the "Arranger") shall be credited as and may publicize that it is the sole lead arranger and book-running manager of the financing contemplated hereby, any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender that is appointed Syndication Agent (in such capacity, the "Syndication Agent") by the Arranger shall be credited as and may publicize that it is the syndication agent of such financing, and any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender that is appointed Documentation Agent (in such capacity, the "Documentation Agent") by the Arranger shall be credited as and may publicize that it is the documentation agent of such financing. The Arranger, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent (a) shall not, by reason of their designation as such or the provisions of this Section 9 or any action taken or omitted in such capacity, have any power, duty, responsibility or liability whatsoever under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in respect of the financing contemplated hereby and (b) shall nevertheless be entitled to all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and benefits granted to them herein. SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS 10.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or (with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or 91 98 modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of "Required Lenders", consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the consent of all Lenders; (iii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of "Majority Facility Lenders" with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the consent of the Arranger or any Agent directly affected thereby; (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 or 2.7 without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender; (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.18 without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; or (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the consent of the Issuing Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents, the Arranger and all existing and future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Arranger and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Arranger, the Agents and the Borrower (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof (collectively, the "Additional Extensions of Credit") to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Prepayment Lenders and Majority Revolving Facility Lenders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall permit the Additional Extensions of Credit to share ratably with or with preference to the Term Loans in the application of mandatory prepayments without the consent of the Required Prepayment Lenders or otherwise to share ratably with or with preference to the Revolving Extensions of Credit without the consent of the Majority Revolving Facility Lenders. 10.2.

No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 10.4.

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Arranger and the Agents on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, incurred in connection with the Facilities and the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, subject to the limitation set forth in the proviso in paragraph 1(f) of the Fee Letter, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Arranger and each Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and disbursements and other charges of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Arranger and each Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Arranger and the Agents harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan 94 101 Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Arranger and each Agent, and each of their respective Related Persons (each of the Lenders, Arranger and Agents and their Related Persons, an "Indemnitee") harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Loan Party or any of the Properties and the fees and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to the Borrower in accordance with Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder. 10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Arranger, the Agents, all other holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Arranger, the Agents and each Lender. (b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any other Person, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a "Participant") participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 95 102 shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.20, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section 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. (c) Any Lender (an "Assignor") may, in accordance with applicable law, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate or Control Investment Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided (x) that no such consent need be obtained by a Lehman Entity for a period of 60 days following the Closing Date, (y) the consent of the Borrower need not be obtained with respect to any assignment of Term Loans to any Person other than a Person that is, or is an Affiliate of a Person that is, engaged in a Permitted Business, and (z) in any event the consent of the Borrower need not be obtained with respect to any assignment at any time when a Default is continuing), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an "Assignee") all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit J, executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender's interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined 96 103 pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be party hereto as a Lender). (d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked "canceled". The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender's Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y) in connection with an assignment by or to a Lehman Entity or (z) in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender), the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, to such Assignee or its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Notes, as the case may be, to the Assignor or its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case 97 104 may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby. (f) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. 10.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender's Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees to notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 10.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 98 105 10.9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 10.10.

When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor.

(h) Such Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of material Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright 17 21 Office, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue, and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees, and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings. (i) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property, or abandon any right to file an application for letters patent, trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor shall have previously determined that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property is no longer desirable in the conduct of such Grantor's business and that the loss thereof could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and, in which case, such Grantor shall give prompt notice of any such abandonment to the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith. (j) In the event that any material Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall (i) take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such Intellectual Property is of material economic value, promptly notify the Administrative Agent after it learns thereof and sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution. (k) Such Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership interest in any item of intellectual property which is not now a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (the "After-Acquired Intellectual Property"), (i) the provisions of Section 3 shall automatically apply thereto, (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and in the case of trademarks, the goodwill of the business connected therewith or symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral, (iii) it shall give prompt (and, in any event within 15 days after the date of such acquisition) written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith, and (iv) it shall provide the Administrative Agent promptly (and, in any event within 15 days after the date of such acquisition) with an amended Schedule 6 hereto and amended schedules to the Intellectual Property Security Agreement reflecting the acquisition of such After-Acquired Intellectual Property. Such Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedule 6 hereto and to modify the schedules to the Intellectual Property Security Agreement if such Grantor fails to provide the Administrative Agent with satisfactory amended schedules hereto or thereto within the time period required hereunder (and will cooperate with the Administrative Agent in effecting any such amendment) to include any After-Acquired Intellectual Property which becomes part of the Intellectual Property Collateral under this Section, and to record any such modified agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, or any other applicable Governmental Authority. (l) Such Grantor agrees to execute an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with respect to its Intellectual Property in substantially the form of Exhibit A in order to record the security interest granted herein to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of 18 22 the Secured Parties with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, and any other applicable Governmental Authority. SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS 6.1. Default. Grantors shall be in default under this Agreement (a) whenever any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and each of the Grantors shall thereupon be in default hereunder without regard to whether or to what degree any Grantor individually may have caused, participated in, or had any knowledge of the occurrence of such Event of Default) and (b) at all times after the Loans have become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon acceleration pursuant to the Credit Agreement or otherwise. 6.2. Remedies Upon Default. At any time when any Grantor is in default under this Agreement as set forth in Section 6.1, the Administrative Agent may exercise and enforce, in any order, (i) each and all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, (ii) each and all of the rights and remedies available to it under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) each and all of the following rights and remedies: (a) Collection Rights. Without notice to any Grantor or any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent may notify any or all account debtors and obligors on any Accounts, Instruments or other Claims constituting Collateral of the Administrative Agent's security interests therein and may direct, demand and enforce payment thereof directly to the Administrative Agent. (b) Taking Possession. The Administrative Agent may (i) enter upon any and all premises owned or leased by any Grantor where Collateral is located (or believed by the Administrative Agent to be located), with or (to the fullest extent permitted by law) without judicial process and without any obligation to pay rent, (ii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Administrative Agent deems appropriate, (iii) take possession of any Grantor's premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any Grantor's equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process or otherwise preparing the Collateral for sale or selling or otherwise transferring the Collateral, (iv) take possession of all items of Collateral that are not then in its possession, either upon such premises or by removal from such premises, and (v) require any Grantor or the Person in possession thereof to deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent at one or more locations designated by the Administrative Agent and reasonably convenient to it and each Grantor owning an interest therein. (c) Foreclosure. The Administrative Agent may sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of or transfer any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public sale or in private sale or transaction, on any exchange or market or at the Administrative Agent's offices or on any Grantor's premises or at any other location, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and may enter into all contracts necessary or appropriate in connection therewith, without any notice whatsoever unless required by law. Where permitted 19 23 by law, one or more of the Secured Parties may be the purchasers at any such sale and in such event, if such bid is made by all of the Lenders or otherwise whenever a credit bid is expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement or approved in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, the Secured Parties bidding at such sale may bid part or all of the Obligations owing to them without necessity of any cash payment on account of the purchase price, even though any other purchaser at such sale is required to bid a purchase price payable in cash. Each Grantor agrees that at least 10 calendar days' written notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral owned by it (or, to the extent such Grantor is entitled by law to notice thereof, the public sale of any other Collateral), or the time after which any private sale of Collateral owned by it (or, to the extent such Grantor is entitled by law to notice thereof, the private sale of any other Collateral) is to be made, shall be commercially reasonable. For purposes of such notice, to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) each Grantor waives notice of any sale of Collateral owned by any other Grantor and (ii) each Grantor agrees that notice given to the Borrower shall constitute notice given to such Grantor. The giving of notice of any such sale or other disposition shall not obligate the Administrative Agent to proceed with the sale or disposition, and any such sale or disposition may be postponed or adjourned from time to time, without further notice. (d) Use of Intellectual Property. The Administrative Agent may, on a royalty-free basis, use and license use of any trademark, trade name, trade style, copyright, patent or technical knowledge or process owned, held or used by any Grantor in respect of any Collateral as to which any right or remedy of the Administrative Agent is exercised or enforced. In addition, the Administrative Agent may exercise and enforce such rights and remedies for collection as may be available to it by law or agreement. 6.3. Waivers by Grantors. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives (a) all rights of redemption from any foreclosure sale, (b) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal, exemption and moratorium laws, (c) to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights to notice or a hearing prior to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its right to take possession of any Collateral, whether by self-help or by legal process and any right to object to the Administrative Agent taking possession of any Collateral by self-help, and (d) if the Administrative Agent seeks to obtain possession of any Collateral by replevin, claim and delivery, attachment, levy or other legal process, (i) any notice or demand for possession prior to the commencement of legal proceedings, (ii) the posting of any bond or security in any such proceedings, and (iii) any requirement that the Administrative Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after a trial or final judgment in such proceedings. 6.4. Standard of Care. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or to protect, preserve, vote or exercise any rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is 20 24 accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property or if it selects, with reasonable care, a custodian to hold such Collateral on its behalf. 6.5. Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral for, or then, or at any other time thereafter, applied in full or in part by the Administrative Agent against, the Obligations in the following order of priority: FIRST: To the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder and all reasonable advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of any Grantor, and to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, all in accordance with Section 8.4; SECOND: To the payment of all other Obligations (for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof) then due and payable; and THIRD: To the payment to or upon the order of the Grantor entitled thereto, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds. 6.6. Surplus, Deficiency. Any surplus proceeds of any sale or other disposition by the Administrative Agent of any Collateral remaining after discharge of the Credit Agreement and after all Obligations are paid in full and in cash shall be paid over to the Grantor entitled thereto, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, but prior to discharge of the Credit Agreement, such surplus proceeds may be retained by the Administrative Agent and held as Collateral until discharge of the Credit Agreement. The Borrower and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable for any deficiency. 6.7. Information Related to the Collateral. If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent determines to sell or otherwise transfer any Collateral, each Grantor shall, and shall cause any Person controlled by it to, furnish to the Administrative Agent all information the Administrative Agent may request that pertains or could pertain to the value or condition of the Collateral or that would or might facilitate such sale or transfer. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, notwithstanding any confidentiality obligation or agreement otherwise binding upon it, freely to disclose such information, and any and all other information (including confidential information) pertaining in any manner to the Collateral or the assets, liabilities, results of operations, business or prospects of any Secured Parties, freely to any Person that the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be a potential 21 25 or prospective purchaser in such sale or transfer, without liability for any disclosure, dissemination or use that may be made as to such information by any such Person. 6.8 Sale Exempt from Registration. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled at any such sale or other transfer, if it deems it advisable to do so, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will provide assurances satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Collateral may be offered and sold to them without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and without registration or qualification under any other applicable state or federal law. Upon the consummation of any such sale, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. The Administrative Agent may solicit offers to buy the Collateral, or any part of it, from a limited number of investors deemed by the Administrative Agent, in its good faith judgment or in good faith reliance upon advice of its counsel, to meet the requirements to purchase securities under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 as then in effect (or any other regulation of similar import). If the Administrative Agent solicits such offers from such investors, then the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of the highest offer obtained from any of them shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of the Collateral 6.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers or privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or agreement. The Administrative Agent may exercise and enforce each right and remedy available to it either before or concurrently with or after, and independently of, any exercise or enforcement of any other right or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party against any Person or property. All such rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and no one of them shall exclude or preclude any other. 6.10 No Direct Enforcement by Secured Parties. The Administrative Agent may freely exercise and enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. No Secured Party, other than the Administrative Agent, shall have any independent right to collect, take possession of, foreclose against or otherwise enforce the security interests granted hereby. SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 7.1. Administrative Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following: 22 26 (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable; (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties' security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and (v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties' security interests therein 23 27 and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do. Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. (c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent on demand. (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released. 7.2. Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 7.3. Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to Section 9-402 of the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with 24 28 respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. 7.4. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS 8.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Administrative Agent, provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the Administrative Agent in a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. 8.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1. 8.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 25 29 8.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Grantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Administrative Agent. (b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement. (c) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (d) Each Grantor agrees that the provisions of Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and each Secured Party shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein. 8.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. 8.6. Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have. 26 30 8.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 8.8. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 8.9. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof. 8.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 8.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 8.12. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 27 31 (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 8.13. Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that: (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party; (b) no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Secured Parties. 8.14.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to or vote or consent of any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition, and to release any guarantee obligations of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents, provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition and the terms of such Disposition in reasonable detail, including the date thereof, the price thereof and any estimated expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that the proceeds of such Disposition will be applied in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (b) If any of the Collateral shall be Disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary 28 32 Guarantor shall be Disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor and the terms of the Disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that the Proceeds of such Disposition will be applied in accordance therewith. 8.16.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Pursuant to Section 2.5 of that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2000 (as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"; capitalized terms used but not defined herein having the meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement), among Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), each lender from time to time party thereto, and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), the Borrower hereby gives the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice that the Borrower hereby requests a Loan under the Credit Agreement, and in that connection sets forth below the information relating to such Loan: (1) The Business Day of the proposed Loan is _________ ___, ____. (2) The Type of the proposed Loan is a [Base Rate Loan] [Eurodollar Loan]. (3) The aggregate amount of the proposed Loan is $____________. (4) The initial Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan made as part of the proposed Loan is ____ month[s]. The Borrower hereby certifies that the following statements are true and correct on the date hereof, and will be true and correct on the date of the proposed Loan: (a) Each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents is true and correct on and as of the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent that they relate expressly to an earlier date). (b) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date hereof, or would result from the proposed Loan or the application of the proceeds thereof. 68 The Borrower agrees that, if prior to the time of the proposed Loan any of the foregoing certifications shall cease to be true and correct, the Borrower shall forthwith notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing (any such notice, a "Non-Compliance Notice"). Except to the extent, if any, that prior to the time of the proposed Loan, the Borrower shall deliver a Non-Compliance Notice to the Administrative Agent, each of the foregoing certifications shall be deemed to be made additionally on the date of the proposed Loan as if made on such date. Very truly yours, SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. By: ------------------------------ Name: Title: 69 EXHIBIT E FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE This Solvency Certificate (this "Certificate") is delivered in connection with that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2000 (as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as borrower (the "Borrower"), the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement. For purposes of this Certificate, "Transactions" means (i) the fulfillment of all conditions to the making of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and the funding of such Loans and Letters of Credit, if any, on the Closing Date, (ii) the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, (iii) the repayment, if any, of outstanding Indebtedness on the Closing Date and (iv) the payment of all fees, costs and expenses associated with the foregoing. I hereby certify as of the date hereof on behalf of the Loan Parties as follows: 1. I am the duly qualified and acting Vice President and/or Chief Financial Officer of each Loan Party and in such capacity am a senior financial officer with responsibility for the management of the financial affairs of such Loan Party and the preparation of financial statements of such Loan Party. I, together with other officers of the Loan Parties, acted on behalf of each Loan Party in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any Loan Party is a party. In connection with the following certifications, I have reviewed the financial statements of the Loan Parties. 2. I have carefully reviewed the contents of this Certificate, and I have conferred with counsel for the Loan Parties for the purpose of discussing the meaning of its contents and the purpose for which it is to be used. I have made such investigations and inquiries as I have deemed to be necessary and prudent, and have reviewed the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to which any Loan Party is a party. I am providing this certificate solely in my capacity as an officer of each Loan Party. 3. The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at September 26, 1999, September 27, 1998 and September 28, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from KPMG LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). After due inquiry, I have concluded that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual 70 forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph. After due inquiry, I have concluded that during the period from September 26, 1999 to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition, other than the contemplated Florida Keys Sale, by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or Property. 4. For purposes of delivering this Certificate, I have: (a) consulted with counsel for the Loan Parties concerning, among other matters, pending and threatened litigation, uninsured risks, guaranties of obligations of other Persons and other contingent obligations and have included as a liability in my conclusions my best judgment as to the maximum realistic exposure of each Loan Party to liabilities which would not be included in reserves otherwise reflected on the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of September 26, 1999; (b) consulted with the chief executive officer and controller of each Loan Party and reviewed the financial statements of each Loan Party; (c) consulted with, and reviewed reports prepared by the accountants referred to in paragraph 3 above with respect to the financial statements of the Loan Parties and their respective assets and liabilities; and (d) made such other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate and have taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by the Loan Parties after consummation of the Transactions. Based upon the foregoing, I have reached the following conclusions: (A) No Loan Party is now, and the consummation of the Transactions will not render any Loan Party, "insolvent" as defined below. I understand that in this context, "insolvent" means that the present fair salable value of assets of each Loan Party is less than the amount that will be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured. I have assumed that in this context "fair salable value" means the price available upon the sale of such assets by a willing seller to a willing buyer, where material information as to the asset and the market for such asset is known to both, and where the sale is executed with commercially reasonable promptness. I also understand that (i) the term "debts" includes any liability on a "claim", and (ii) "claim" means any (x) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured or (y) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured or unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. (B) No Loan Party will incur, and no Loan Party intended to incur or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature as a result of the consummation 71 of the Transactions. I have concluded that the realization of the current assets in the ordinary course of business of each Loan Party will be sufficient to pay recurring current debt, short-term debt and long-term debt service of such Loan Party as such debts mature and that the cash flow and cash resources (including earnings plus non-cash charges to earnings and, to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, the disposition of assets held for sale) of such Loan Party will be sufficient to provide cash necessary to repay indebtedness and liabilities of such Loan Party (including, in the case of the Borrower, the indebtedness and liabilities of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the Notes and any outstanding Letters of Credit) as such debts and liabilities mature. (C) The consummation of the Transactions will not leave any Loan Party with property remaining in its hands constituting "unreasonably small capital." I have assumed for purposes of reaching this conclusion that "unreasonably small capital" depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the businesses conducted or anticipated to be conducted by each Loan Party in light of the Projections and available credit capacity. (D) No Loan Party has executed the Credit Agreement, the Notes, any Letters of Credit, any other Loan Documents, in each case, to which such Loan Party is a party or made any transfer or incurred any obligations in connection with the Transactions, with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors. I understand that the Secured Parties are relying on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing in connection with each extension of credit to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. I represent the foregoing information to be, to the best of my knowledge and belief, after diligent inquiry, true, correct and complete and execute this Solvency Certificate as the Vice President and/or Chief Financial Officer of each Loan Party as of the ___ day of _______, ____.

In the event of any termination of the Executive's employment under this Section 4, the Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment and there shall be no offset against any amounts due the Executive under this Agreement on account of any remuneration that the Executive may obtain from any subsequent employment.

(d) Remedy for Breach. If any provision of this Section 4 is deemed invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed modified and limited to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this section are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company and that the Company will be irrevocably damaged if such provisions are not specifically enforced 9 10 Accordingly, money damages from the Executive for a breach of this section would be difficult, if not impossible, to calculate and the most appropriate relief in the event of the Executive's breach would be injunctive relief.

Positions and Duties; Place of Performance. (a) Positions and Duties. The Executive shall be employed as Vice President of Finance and Strategic Planning of the Company and shall have the duties, responsibilities and authority as may from time to time be assigned to him by either of Raul Alarcon, Jr., the Company's President (the "President"), or Joseph A. Garcia, the Company's Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO"), that are consistent with and normally associated with such position. The Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time, effort and energies exclusively to the business of the Company, and shall not serve as an active principal or a director or officer of any other company or entity without the prior consent of the President, except that the Executive may serve as a director or officer of any trade association, civic, religious, business, educational or charitable organization without such consent. (b) Place of Performance.

Once the Base Salary is increased, the new salary shall thereafter constitute the "Base Salary" for purposes of this Agreement. (b) Bonuses. In addition to the Base Salary, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a cash bonus (the "Bonus") each year based on the Company meeting projected consolidated broadcast cash flow for each fiscal year. For the purpose of determining the Bonus, projected broadcast cash flow is the consolidated amount approved by the President to compensate for performance of all those executives with compensation plans that include bonuses based on meeting annual broadcast cash flow targets.

Except as provided in Section 6(a)(i), this amount shall be paid in substantially equal monthly payments during the two years following the Executive's Date of Termination, provided, however, that the Company may determine, in its sole discretion, to pay such amount (or any portion remaining during such period if periodic payments have commenced) in a single lump sum in cash (such amount not to be discounted in any way to reflect its present value). (B) The Company shall continue to provide the Executive (and his eligible dependents, if any) with group health and life insurance benefits and long-term disability insurance coverage (or the economic equivalent thereof) at the level (including, if applicable, the portion of the premium paid by the Company for such coverage) in effect on the 7 8 Date of Termination for the one-year period following such date, provided that such coverage shall cease to be provided if the Executive is employed by another employer within such one-year period, and further provided that, the date of the expiration of the extended period of coverage provided under this clause (i)(B) shall be treated as the date of the termination of the Executive's employment solely for the purpose of determining the rights of the Executive (and his eligible dependents, if any) to the continuation coverage provided under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The Notice of Termination shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated, and (iii) if the termination date is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specify the date on which the Executive's employment is to be terminated (which date shall not be earlier than the date on which such notice is actually received, or in the case of a termination for Disability, the sixtieth 8 9 (60th) day after such notice is received). In the case of a termination by the Company for Cause, the Notice of Termination shall be given within one hundred and eighty (180) business days after the Company's President or CFO has actual knowledge of the events justifying the purported termination, and in the case of a termination by the Executive for Good Reason, the notice shall be given within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Executive's having actual knowledge of the events justifying such termination.

GARCIA ------------------ 17 15 EXHIBIT 1 RELOCATION EXPENSES 1. Cost of moving personal belongings from New York to Florida; and 2. Travel expenses incurred by household family members to relocate from New York to Florida. 16 (b) Solicitation or Interference.

(c) Non-Disclosure of Proprietary information. The Executive agrees that he will not disclose the trade secrets or confidential and proprietary information of the Company during the Term or thereafter. The parties understand and agree that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Executive from disclosing: (1) information required to be disclosed pursuant to compulsory legal process, provided that he shall give the Company prompt notice of such process prior to disclosure; (2) information which was in his lawful possession at the time of or prior to its submission to him by the Company; or (3) information which is in the public domain. (d) Remedy for Breach. If any provision of this Section 4 is deemed invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed modified and limited to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this section are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company and that the Company will be irrevocably damaged if such provisions are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, money damages from the Executive for a breach of this section would be difficult, if not impossible, to calculate and the most appropriate relief in the event of the Executive's breach would be injunctive relief. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit the 10 17 Company, for any such breach, from instituting or prosecuting any other proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, in either law or equity, to obtain damages for any breach of this Agreement. All remedies given to the Company by this Agreement shall be construed as cumulative remedies and shall not be alternative or exclusive remedies. 6. Change in Control Provisions. (a) Impact of Event.

Pending any such determination, such expenses shall be paid by the Company in advance on a monthly basis, upon an undertaking by the Executive to repay such advanced amounts if the Executive fails to prevail in any such claim or controversy and it should thus be determined that the expenses were not incurred by the Executive in good faith.

In the event that the Mortgage Note is assigned or pledged or otherwise encumbered as collateral security for the payment of any other note or obligation of the Mortgagor or of any other person, the Mortgagor agrees:------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -----(a) That Mortgagee may foreclose this Mortgage and may exercise all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise, without first foreclosing the pledge or other lien so constituted upon the Mortgage Note, to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if the Mortgage Note had been assigned or transferred directly to Mortgagee rather than assigned or pledged as collateral security, provided that nothing contained in this paragraph TENTH shall relieve Mortgagee from the obligation to comply with the terms of the pledge agreement or other instrument under which the Mortgage Note is assigned or pledged.-------------------------------------------------------------------- - -----(b) That Mortgagor will not exercise any right which it may have to cancel the recordation of the Mortgage by reason of lapse of time counted from the date of the constitution of the Mortgage either under the provisions of Article One Hundred Forty-five (145) of the Mortgage Law of Puerto Rico, Act Number One Hundred Ninety-eight (198) of August ten (10), Nineteen Hundred Seventy-nine (1979), Thirty Laws of Puerto Rico Annotated Two Thousand Four Hundred Sixty-nine (30 L.P.R.A. 2469) or otherwise and further agrees, whenever requested by the Mortgagee, to execute and file in the appropriate Registry, at Mortgagor's cost and expense, any and all supplemental instruments which may be necessary or convenient for the preservation 12 of the lien of the Mortgage until full payment of the Mortgage Note and the note or obligations secured by the pledge or assignment of the Mortgage Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mortgagor agrees that, unless the Mortgagee shall consent in writing to the cancellation of the Mortgage at an earlier date, the Mortgage shall be conclusively presumed to subsist for a period of twenty-five (25) years from the date of its constitution; and the Mortgagor does hereby waive any right which it may otherwise have under said Article One Hundred Forty-Five (145) of the Mortgage Law to apply for an earlier cancellation of the record of the Mortgage.---------------------------- - ---ELEVENTH: Expenses.

Heat and air-conditioning services for hours in excess of those described above will be charged to Tenant, based on the actual cost of utilities and additional cost of wages paid to personnel directly associated with the operation of the overtime air-conditioning and/or ventilating system. Landlord shall furnish extermination services from time to time and shall furnish automatically operated elevator service, electrical current for normal office use and water for normal drinking and lavatory use at all times and on all days throughout the year. No electric current shall be used except that furnished or approved by Landlord, nor shall electric cable or wire be brought into the Leased Premises, except upon the written consent and approval of Landlord. Tenant shall use only office machines and equipment which do not overload the Building's circuits from which tenant obtains electric current. The cost of any consumption of electric current in excess of that considered by Landlord to be usual, normal and customary for office use, or which requires special circuits or equipment (the installation of which shall be at Tenant's expense after approval in writing by Landlord), shall be paid for by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent in an amount to be determined by Landlord based upon Landlord's estimated cost of such excess electric current consumption or based upon the actual cost thereof if such excess electric current consumption is separately metered. Such services shall be provided as long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, subject to interruption caused by repairs, renewals, improvements, changes of services, alterations, strikes, lockouts, labor controversies, inability to obtain fuel or power, accidents, breakdowns, catastrophes, national or local emergencies, acts of God and conditions and causes beyond the control of Landlord and upon such happening, no claim for damages or abatement of Fixed Minimum Annual Rent or Additional Rent for failure to furnish any such services shall be made by Tenant or allowed by Landlord. Section 4.02 Directories: Space shall be provided on the Building directory board in the lobby and on any other general Building directory board for Tenant. Landlord shall pay the cost of initial directory listings. At Tenant's request, Landlord shall make changes in such directory listings and Tenant will reimburse Landlord for the actual cost of such service if not included in the Building's Operating Expenses. The number of spaces Please Initial: Landlord: /s/ [illegible] -------------------- Tenant: /s/ [illegible] ---------------------- Page 8 of 42 Pages 12 requested by Tenant shall not be unreasonable and Landlord reserves the right to promulgate such Rules and Regulations with respect to the allocation of such spaces. ARTICLE V USE Tenant shall not use, permit or suffer the use of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, for any purpose other than as a business office and for no other purpose. Tenant further agrees that the Leased Premises are leased exclusively for business purposes and may never be used at any time for residential or other purposes. ARTICLE VI INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY Section 6.01 Liability Insurance: Tenant shall, during the entire Term, keep in full force and effect, a policy of public liability and property damage insurance with respect to the Leased Premises and the business operated by Tenant, and any permitted sub-tenant of Tenant in the Leased Premises, in which the limits of public liability are a single limit for liability per incident, per person and property damage of no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and such greater amount from time to time determined by Landlord which is customary for tenancies of comparable size, space and business use. Section 6.02 Contents Insurance: Tenant shall maintain fire insurance, naming Landlord and Tenant as insured, in an amount adequate to cover the cost of replacement of all decorations, fixtures, contents and Leasehold Improvements (as that term is defined in Article VII) in the Leased Premises in the event of fire, windstorm, vandalism, mischief, and/or casualties including special extended coverage, and said insurance shall include but not be limited to, coverage against all water damage to contents and/or personal property of Tenant and the Leasehold Improvements. Section 6.03 Special Policy Provisions: All insurance policies which Tenant is required to secure and maintain pursuant to this Article VI, shall be written by companies acceptable to the Landlord, shall name Landlord, any persons, firms or Please Initial: Landlord: /s/ [illegible] -------------------- Tenant: /s/ [illegible] ---------------------- Page 9 of 42 Pages 13 corporations designated by Landlord, and Tenant as insureds, and shall contain a clause that the insurer will not cancel or change the insurance without first giving Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice. Further, said policies shall contain an express waiver of any right of subrogation against Landlord and other named insureds, designated by Landlord. Tenant will further deposit the policies, or certificates thereof, with Landlord together with evidence of payment of the premium, at all times, commencing with the date Tenant first enters upon the Leased Premises for any purpose. In no event shall the limits of any insurance policies required herein be considered as limiting the liability of Tenant under this Lease. Section 6.04 Increase of Fire Insurance Premium: In addition, Tenant agrees that it will not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Leased Premises any article which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policy. Tenant agrees to pay any increase in premiums for fire and extended coverage insurance that may be charged during the Term of this Lease or the amount of such insurance which may be carried by Landlord on the Leased Premises or the Building of which they are a part resulting from any acts or omissions of Tenant or any change in use by Tenant. In determining whether increased premiums are the result of Tenant's use of the Leased Premises, a schedule, issued by the organization in making the insurance rate on the Leased Premises, showing the various components of such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up the fire insurance rate for the Leased Premises. In the event that Tenant's occupancy causes any increase of the premium for the fire and/or casualty rates on the Leased Premises or any part thereof above the rate for the least hazardous type of occupancy legally permitted in the Leased Premises, Tenant shall pay the additional premium on the fire and/or casualty insurance policies by reason thereof. Tenant also shall pay in such event any additional premium necessitated by the character of Tenant's use of the Leased Premises on such rent insurance policy as may be carried by Landlord for its protection against rent loss through fire. Bills for such additional premiums shall be rendered by Landlord to Tenant at such times as Landlord may elect, and shall be due from and payable by Tenant when rendered, and the amount thereof shall be deemed to be, and shall be paid as Additional Rent. Section 6.05 Indemnification: Tenant will indemnify Landlord and save it harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liability, and expense in connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property occurring in or about, or arising from or out of the Leased Premises and adjacent sidewalks and loading platforms or other areas occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, its agents, contractors, invitees, or employees. In case Landlord shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or paid by Landlord in connection with such Please Initial: --------------- Landlord: /s/ [illegible] ------------------ Tenant: /s/ [illegible] ------------------ Page 10 of 42 Pages 14 litigation at all levels and such fees incurred in enforcing this indemnity. Section 6.06 Mutual Waiver of Subrogation: Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all right of recovery, claim, action or cause of action against the other, their respective agents, officers and employees (a) for any loss or damage that may occur to the Leased Premises, the Building, or any of the improvements thereto, by reason of fire, the elements or any other cause which could be insured against under the terms of a standard fire and extended coverage insurance policy or policies, with vandalism, malicious mischief and all-risk coverage, or (b) for which landlord or Tenant may be reimbursed as a result of insurance coverage affecting any loss suffered by either party, regardless of cause or origin, including the negligence of Landlord or Tenant or their respective agents, officers and employees. In addition, all insurance policies carried by either party covering the Leased Premises, the Building or contents, shall expressly waive any right on the part of the insurer against the other party for damage to or destruction of the Leased Premises, the Building or contents, resulting from the acts, omissions or negligence of the other party. ARTICLE VII DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION Section 7.01 Fire or Other Casualty: (a) For purposes of this section and this Lease Agreement generally, the following definitions are applicable: "Leasehold Improvements" refers to those interior improvements, whether made at Landlord's or Tenant's expense, made to that portion of the Building which is included within the Leased Premises in order to make the Leased Premises habitable, functional or in accordance with Tenant's needs or wants, including but not limited to electrical fixtures, plumbing fixtures, HVAC, interior walls and partitions, built-ins, doors, wall coverings, flooring and carpet, window coverings, wiring for telephone, computer and similar systems, ceilings, air handlers and appliances which are affixed to the Leased Premises.

"Leased Premises" refers to the total of all space under lease by the Tenant, including the Leasehold Improvements and that portion of the Building which is within the boundaries of the Leased Premises as set forth in Section 1.01 of this Lease Agreement, but excluding all common areas. Please Initial: Landlord: [illegible] -------------------- Tenant: [illegible] -------------------- Page 11 of 42 Pages 15 "Building" refers to the structure located at 2601 South Bayshore Drive, including the parking garage and all common areas, but excluding the townhouses and all Leasehold Improvements. In any particular Leased Premises, the Building is that portion which is not included within the scope of the Leasehold Improvements, including but not limited to the exterior walls, structural supports, elevator shafts, common area restrooms and exterior windows. "Casualty Loss" refers to any loss or damage to any property by windstorm, fire, flood, theft, or other casualty normally covered by policies of fire and extended coverage insurance. "Original Condition" refers to substantially the same condition any personal property, fixtures or real property was in immediately before any Casualty Loss. (b) In the event of a casualty loss to any part or all of the Leasehold Improvements, Landlord shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds for such loss, including those from the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant on the Leasehold Improvements as set forth in section 6.02 of this Lease Agreement. Other than the obligations with specifically imposed on Landlord in this Article VII, Landlord shall have no duty to account to Tenant for the use of such proceeds or in any way share or deliver any or all of such proceeds with or to Tenant. (c) In the event of a Casualty Loss to the Leased Premises which Casualty Loss does not render the Leased Premises untenable in any significant part, there shall be no rent abatement and the Landlord shall repair the Leased Premises and restore the Leasehold Improvements to their Original Condition, all within 180 days of the occurrence of the Casualty Loss. (d) In the event of a Casualty Loss to the Leased Premises which Casualty Loss does not render the Leased Premises more than 50% untenable, Landlord shall have the following options, one of which must be exercised by delivery of notice to Tenant no later than 120 days from the occurrence of the Casualty Loss: (i) Tenant shall receive an abatement of rent in proportion to that part of the Leased Premises which is untenable retroactive to the date of such Casualty Loss and Landlord shall restore the Leased Premises to their Original Condition within 18 months of the date of the occurrence of the Casualty Loss, or (ii) Landlord may terminate this Lease Agreement and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a refund of all rent paid from the date of the occurrence of the Casualty Loss to the date of Landlord's notice of the exercise of this option and Landlord shall still be entitled to collect and keep all insurance proceeds to which it is entitled under this Lease Agreement. Please initial: --------------- Landlord: /s/ [illegible] ------------------- Tenant: /s/ [illegible] ------------------- Page 12 of 42 Pages 16 (e) In the event of a Casualty Loss to the Leased Premises which Casualty Loss renders the Leased Premises 50% or more untenable, Landlord shall have the following options, one of which must be exercised by delivery of notice to Tenant no later than 180 days from the occurrence of the Casualty Loss: (i) If Landlord elects to rebuild the Leased Premises, Tenant shall receive a complete abatement of all rent if it vacates the Leased Premises or an abatement of rent in proportion to that amount of the Leased Premises it does not vacate, for the time it takes Landlord to restore the Leased Premises to their Original Condition, which restoration must be accomplished within 18 months of the date of the occurrence of the Casualty Loss, or (ii) Landlord may terminate this Lease Agreement and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a refund of all rent paid from the date of the occurrence of the Casualty Loss to the date of Landlord's notice of the exercise of this option and Landlord shall still be entitled to collect and keep all insurance proceeds to which it is entitled under this Lease Agreement. (f) For purposes of this Article VII, any determination of the portion of the Leased Premises which are tenable shall be made, in the first instance, by a licensed engineer retained by Landlord. The results of such determination shall be provided to Tenant. In the event Tenant disagrees with such determination, Tenant may retain its own licensed engineer who shall make his/her own determination and provide the results to Landlord. If the assessments differ by less than 5%, Landlord's assessment shall control. If the assessments differ by more than 5%, Tenant may either accept Landlord's assessment or require the two engineers to select a third engineer, whose assessment shall be binding and whose costs and fees shall be paid by whichever party's assessment was closest to that of the third engineer. If the first two engineers are incapable of selecting a third, the chief judge of the Circuit Court shall be requested to do so. All time frames set forth for Landlord to make any decision or take any action in this Article VII shall be extended by the same amount of time that elapses from the delivery of Landlord's assessment to Tenant until resolution of the assessment issue in accordance with this subparagraph. (g) In no event shall Landlord be obligated to spend more to repair any Casualty Loss under this Article VII than is available to Landlord in insurance proceeds for such Casualty Loss from policies of insurance maintained by Landlord and Tenant. All time frames for Landlord to make any decision or take any action under this Article VII shall be extended commensurate with any delays Landlord encounters in its dealings with the various insurance companies, so long as such delays are not the result of Landlord's lack of diligence or Landlord's negligence. (h) Tenant hereby waives any and all right of recovery which it might otherwise have against Landlord, its agents and employees, for any loss or damage to Tenant's contents, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and any other property of the Tenant, regardless of whether such loss or damage was caused in Please Initial: Landlord: [Illegible] ------------------ Tenant: [Illegible] ------------------ Page 13 of 42 Pages 17 whole or in part by the negligence or fault of Landlord or its agents in the design or maintenance of the Building, the Leased Premises or the Leasehold Improvements, or any other negligence or fault of Landlord or its agents. Section 7.02 Condemnation: If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (a sale in lieu of condemnation to be deemed a taking for the purposes of this paragraph), then the Term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of possession being required by the condemning authority and all Fixed Minimum Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid through that date. If any part of the Leased Premises shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, and in the event that such partial taking or condemnation shall render the Leased Premises reduced by thirty percent (30%) or more and Landlord cannot provide comparable substitute space in the Building or shall render the Leased Premises unsuitable for office use, then the Term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of possession being required by the condemning authority. In the event of a partial taking or condemnation, which is not extensive enough to render the Lease terminable as provided above, then Landlord shall promptly restore the Leased Premises to a condition comparable to the condition at the time of such condemnation, less the portion lost in the taking, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that the Fixed Minimum Annual Rent and Tenant's Proportionate Share hereunder shall be equitably adjusted. If the whole or a substantial portion of the common parking areas in the Building shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then at Tenant's election the Term of this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of possession being required by the condemning authority unless Landlord shall take immediate steps to provide other parking facilities substantially equal to the previously existing parking areas and such substantially equal parking facilities shall be provided by Landlord at its own expense. In the event that Landlord shall provide such other substantially equal parking facilities, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Although all damages in the event of any condemnation are to belong to Landlord, whether such damages are awarded as compensation for diminution in the value of the leasehold or the fee, Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant's own right on account of any and all damages to Tenant's business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or Please Initial: Landlord: [Illegible] ------------------ Tenant: [Illegible] ------------------ Page 14 of 42 Pages 18 loss to which Tenant might be put in removing Tenant's merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment to the extent any such awards do not diminish the awards otherwise payable to Landlord. ARTICLE VIII DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES Section 8.01 Events of Default: The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder: (a) The filing of a petition by or against Tenant for adjudication as a bankrupt or insolvent, for its reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of Tenant's property, if not vacated within thirty (30) days from the date of filing; (b) An assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors; or the taking of possession of the property of Tenant by any governmental officer or agency pursuant to statutory authority for the dissolution or liquidation of Tenant; (c) Failure of tenant to pay any installment of Fixed Minimum Annual Rent or Additional Rent ("Rent"), due hereunder, or any other sum herein required to be paid by Tenant, when due on the first of each month during the term of the Lease, or as required hereunder; (d) Tenant's failure to perform any other covenant or condition of this Lease within ten (10) days after written notice and demand, unless the failure is of such a character as to require more than ten (10) days to cure, in which event Tenant's failure to proceed diligently to cure such failure and to accomplish such cure within thirty (30) days after such notice and demand shall constitute an Event of Default; (e) Seizure under any levy, execution, attachment or other process of court where the same shall not be promptly vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise or if Tenant's interest in the Leased Premises is sold by judicial sale and the sale is not promptly vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise; (f) Tenant vacates or abandons substantially all of the Leased Premises; and (g) The occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date of the Term of this Lease. Please initial: Landlord: [illegible] ----------- Tenant: [illegible] ------------- Page 15 of 42 Pages 19 Section 8.02 Landlord's Remedies and Obligations in Event of Tenant's Default: Landlord and Tenant, each having been advised by respective counsel as to their respective rights and obligations under the existing statutory and decisional law of the State of Florida, and each being desirous of obtaining rights and obligations that might otherwise be unavailable under the existing law, have bargained for, and do hereby mutually agree, to the following remedies and procedures which shall apply in the event of an Event of Default. (a) Landlord shall have the right to elect to terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Leased Premises or to terminate this Lease. In the event Landlord so elects, Landlord shall give Tenant three (3) days written notice of Landlord's election and thereupon, at the expiration of said three (3) days (unless such Event of Default has then been cured), Tenant's right to possession of the Leased Premises shall terminate, whereupon Tenant shall immediately quit and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord and Tenant further agrees that failure by Tenant to immediately surrender the Leased Premises following an Event of Default and said three (3) day notice shall render Tenant subject to the immediate issuance of a writ of possession by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possession or terminates this Lease as described in this Section 8.02(a), Tenant shall nonetheless remain liable for Rent under the terms of this Lease as though Tenant's possession and/or this Lease had continued. Landlord may, but shall have no obligation to relet the Leased Premises. Landlord may make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Leased Premises, and relet said Leased Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rent and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Landlord, in attempting to relet the Leased Premises, may grant concessions of free rent, and may, at Landlord's option, make such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations in the Leased Premises, as Landlord, in Landlord's sole judgment, considers advisable and necessary for the purposes of reletting the Leased Premises; and the making of such alterations and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Leased Premises, or in the event that the Leased Premises are relet, for failure to collect the rent therefrom under such reletting. The failure or unreasonable refusal of Landlord to relet the Leased Premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for damages or Rent for the balance of the stated Term. Upon each such reletting, all rents received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied, first, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and attorney's fees and costs of such alterations and repairs; second, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If such rents received from such reletting during any month shall be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly or may be accelerated and/or collected as described in Section 8.02(d)(iii) hereof, at Landlord's sole election. No such reentry or taking Please Initial: Landlord: /s/ [illegible] -------------------- Tenant: /s/ [illegible] ---------------------- Page 16 of 42 Pages 20 possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease or pursue any other remedy for such previous breach. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and including an amount equivalent to the Rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated Term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord. (b) As an alternative to Landlord's rights and obligations set forth in Section 8.02(a), Landlord shall have the option not to terminate Tenant's right to possession or terminate this Lease upon an Event of Default, but rather to take no action, with this Lease continuing in full force and effect, and to enforce all of Landlord's rights under this Lease (exclusive of the rights and obligations set forth above in Section 8.02(a)), including without limitation the right to sue for and recover Rent as it become due, as well as the right to terminate this Lease. (c) In addition to the remedies available to Landlord as described above in Section 8.02(a) and 8.02(b), Landlord shall also have the right to enforce any other rights or remedies otherwise applicable by operation of law and Tenant expressly waives any and all right to assert against Landlord any legal or equitable defenses and/or doctrines (however, denominated) which would limit or prohibit Landlord's right to sue for and obtain judgment against Tenant for monies due by virtue of Landlord's having prosecuted a prior suit which did not seek to collect the same monies (in whole or part) being sought in a subsequent suit. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Landlord shall have the rights of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if reentry, unlawful detainer proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided for. (d) In the event of termination of this Lease or termination of Tenants' right to possession (as a result of an uncured Event of Default or pursuant to Section 8.02), Landlord shall have: (i) The right to remove any and all persons and property from the Leased Premises, with legal process, and pursuant to such rights and remedies as the laws of the State of Florida shall then provide or permit, but Landlord shall not be obligated to effect such removal. Said property may, at Landlord's option, be stored or otherwise dealt with as provided within this Lease or as such laws may then provide or permit, including but not limited to the right of Landlord to sell or otherwise legally dispose of the same or to store the same, or any part thereof, in a warehouse or elsewhere at the expense and risk of and for the account of Tenant. Please Initial: Landlord: [Illegible] ------------------ Tenant: [Illegible] ------------------ Page 17 of 42 Pages 21 (ii) The right to recover from Tenant upon termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant's right to possession under the terms of this Lease the unpaid Rent and other sums due to Landlord from Tenant which are unpaid, earned or accrued as of the effective date of termination, plus interest upon such sums as provided in Section 8.08, calculated from the due date of each such unpaid, earned or accrued item to the date of payment of such item. (iii) The right to recover from Tenant upon termination of Tenant's right to possession under the terms of this Lease or on termination of this Lease: (x) The amount by which Rent due to Landlord from Tenant under this Lease for the balance of the stated Term (which is the Term had this Lease not been terminated) exceeds the lesser of: A. The amount of Rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided by Landlord through commercially reasonable leasing activities for such period (in accordance with the reletting standards described in Section 8.02(a) above); or B. The net proceeds received or to be received by Landlord for such period from reletting of the Leased Premises, if any, as provided in Section 8.02(a) if the Leased Premises are relet in whole or in part pursuant to Section 8.02(a), during the portion of the Term to which Landlord's claim of Rent pertains. Section 8.03 Landlord's Lien: Landlord shall have a first lien and security interest, paramount to all others, on every right and interest, of Tenant in and to this Lease, and upon any improvements which may hereafter be placed on the Leased Premises, and on any furnishings and equipment, including fixtures or personal property of every kind thereon, which lien and security interest is granted for the purpose of securing the performance of each and every of the covenants, conditions and obligations of this Lease to be performed and observed by Tenant. Landlord shall have at all times a valid lien for all Rent and other sums of money becoming due hereunder from Tenant, upon all goods, wares, inventory, equipment, fixtures, furniture and other personal property and effects of Tenant situated on the Leased Premises, and such property shall not be removed therefrom without the consent of Landlord until all arrearage in Rent shall first have been paid and discharged. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or by law, enter upon the Leased Premises and take possession of any and all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture and other personal property and effects of Tenant situated on the Leased Premises without liability for trespass or conversion, and sell the same at public or private sale, with or without having such property at the sale, at which Landlord or his assigns may purchase, and apply the proceeds thereof, less any and all expenses connected with the taking of possession and sale of the property, as a credit against any sums due by Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay any deficiency forthwith. Tenant agrees Please Initial: Landlord: /s/ [illegible] -------------------- Tenant: /s/ [illegible] ---------------------- Page 18 of 42 Pages 22 that the said lien and security interest may be enforced by distress, foreclosure or otherwise, at the election of Landlord, that Landlord shall have all of the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and that Tenant shall execute such financing statements as shall be necessary to perfect such interest. The statutory lien for rent, if any, is not hereby waived and the express contractual lien herein granted is in addition thereto and supplementary thereto. Section 8.04 Waiver of Defenses and Jury Trial: IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT THAT THE RESPECTIVE PARTIES HERETO SHALL AND THEY HEREBY DO WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE LEASED PREMISES AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, AND ANY EMERGENCY OR OTHER STATUTORY REMEDY. IT IS FURTHER AGREED THAT TENANT WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO ASSERT ANY COUNTERCLAIM, OTHER THAN ONE WHICH IS COMPULSORY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AGAINST LANDLORD IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY LANDLORD WHICH ARISE OUT OF OR ARE IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS LEASE. Section 8.05 Rights Cumulative: The rights and remedies given to Landlord in this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative remedies, and no one of them, whether or not exercised by Landlord, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the others. Section 8.06 Attorneys' Fees: Tenant further agrees that in the event its default in the performance of any of the terms, conditions, or covenants of this Lease requires Landlord, in the exercise of its sole discretion, to use the services of an attorney to attempt to or successfully remedy such default, that Tenant will reimburse Landlord for any and all reasonable expenses incurred in the use of such attorney and in any action which said attorney may take, whether suit be instituted or not. Such expenses shall include, but not be limited to legal fees, court costs, costs of filing and serving summons and/or complaint, etc. Please Initial: Landlord: /s/ [Illegible] ------------------ Tenant: /s/ [Illegible] ------------------ Page 19 of 42 Pages 23 Section 8.07 Notice of Default; Service of Three-Day Notice: Tenant hereby agrees to designate , as its agent to accept service of the statutory three (3) day notice. In addition, Tenant hereby agrees that service of said notice upon any employee of Tenant within the Leased Premises or by posting a copy of the same on the Leased Premises shall constitute effective and binding service of the same, notwithstanding any statutory requirements to the contrary. Section 8.08 Expenses of Enforcement: In the event any payment due Landlord under this Lease shall not be paid on the due date, said payment shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the due date until paid, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, but the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. In the event that it shall be necessary for Landlord to give more than one (1) written notice to Tenant during the Term of this Lease of any violation of this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to make an administrative charge to Tenant of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for each such additional notice. Tenant recognizes and agrees that the charges which Landlord is entitled to make upon the conditions stated in this Section represent, at the time this Lease is made, a fair and reasonable estimate and liquidation of the costs of Landlord in the administration of the Building resulting from the events described which costs are not contemplated or included in any Rent or other charges provided to be paid by Tenant to Landlord in this Lease. Any charges becoming due under this Section of this Lease shall be added and become due with the next ensuing monthly payment of Fixed Minimum Annual Rent and shall be collectible as a part thereof. Section 8.09 Surrender and Holding Over: If Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant shall remain in possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the Term without an agreement in writing between Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto, the person remaining in possession shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance, and, during such holding over, all Fixed Minimum Annual Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Lease shall be payable at a rate twice the rate in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the Term. In no event, however, shall such holding over be deemed or construed to constitute an extension or renewal of this Lease. Upon the expiration and termination of this Lease, either by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Leased Premises in "broom clean" condition, and in good repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Please Initial: Landlord: /s/ [illegible] -------------------- Tenant: /s/ [illegible] ---------------------- Page 20 of 42 Pages 24 ARTICLE IX ALTERATIONS Tenant shall not make any alterations, improvements, repairs, installations or removals or additions ("Alterations") to the Leased Premises during the Term of this Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which will not be unreasonably withheld, and it shall not cut or drill into, or secure any fixture, apparatus or equipment of any kind to any part of the Leased Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord. All Alterations made by Tenant as aforesaid shall remain upon the Leased Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and shall become the property of Landlord, unless Landlord shall, prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease, have given written notice to Tenant to remove the same, in which event Tenant shall remove such Alterations and restore the Leased Premises to the same good order and condition in which it was at the commencement of this Lease.

However, nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever, for the care, maintenance, or repair of the Building or any part thereof, except as otherwise herein specifically provided.

(c) No such assignment, subletting or occupancy arrangement shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as Tenant, as a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. (d) If Tenant is a corporation, and if at any time during the Lease Term, without the written consent of Landlord, the person or persons who own majority of its voting shares at the time of the execution of this Lease cease to own a majority of such shares (except as a result of transfers by bequest or inheritance), Tenant shall so notify Landlord and Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given within Ninety (90) days thereafter. Any consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting of this Lease or occupancy arrangement shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity of such consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting or occupancy arrangement. Section 15.05 Subordination and Attornment: a) This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of and all terms and conditions of any and all mortgages entered into by Landlord which may now or hereafter encumber the Leased Premises and/or any or all portions of the Building, and to all renewals, Please Initial: Landlord: /s/ [illegible] -------------------- Tenant: /s/ [illegible] ---------------------- Page 26 of 42 Pages 30 modifications, amendments, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to any and all ground lease(s) or master lease(s) of the Building or any lien resulting from any method of financing or refinancing and all terms and conditions thereunder, now or hereafter in force against the Land and Building or upon any buildings hereafter placed upon the Land and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof. This subordination shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required for its operation.

(c) Tenant shall execute promptly any such instruments or certificates required to carry out the intent of this Section as shall be requested by Landlord and/or Landlord's mortgagee and to impose such other terms and conditions requested by Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as attorney in fact for Tenant with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of Tenant, any such instruments or certificates required pursuant to this Section. If within ten (10) days after the date of a written request by Landlord to execute such instrument, Tenant shall not have executed same, Landlord may, at its option, cancel this Lease without incurring any liability on account therefor.

Tenant must exercise its option to renew by delivering written notice of such election to Landlord at its place of business at least One Hundred Eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the current Lease Term or the First Renewal Term, as the case may be. The terms and conditions of the Renewal Term shall be on the same terms set forth in the Lease except that all rent, including but not limited to, all Additional Rent and other charges payable during the Lease Term shall be at the then current prevailing market rate (the "Prevailing Market Rate") at the time the applicable Renewal Term commences and there shall be no additional Renewal Terms other than those provided above. Prevailing Market Rate shall be computed as of the date in question with consideration being given to then-current annual basic rental charges and other additional rent for new leases then currently, or within the preceding twelve (12) month period, being or that have been negotiated or executed in comparable space located in the Building, or if no new leases are then currently, or within the preceding twelve (12) month period, being or that have been negotiated or executed then the comparison shall be made based on comparable space located elsewhere in first-class office buildings comparably aged and equipped located in Coconut Grove 10 11 or, if no comparables are available, in Miami's Central Business District. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the parties hereby agree that, at the time Landlord gives its initial determination of any Prevailing Market Rate, Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to Tenant: (i) to change the base taxes to an amount equal to the actual amount of taxes for the immediately preceding tax year for which Landlord has actual tax data, and (ii) to change base operating expenses and/or building energy utility cost base from the respective amounts to an amount or amounts, as the case may be, equal to the actual amount of operating expenses and/or the actual amount of building energy/utility costs, as the case may be, for the immediately preceding operating year. In determining Prevailing Market Rate, the amount of base taxes, base operating expenses and/or building energy utility cost base and electricity shall be taken into account and given effect. Landlord shall initially designate a Prevailing Market Rate and shall furnish data in support of such designation to Tenant (the "Landlord's Designated Amount"). If Tenant disagrees with Landlord's Designated Amount, then Tenant shall have the right by written notice given within thirty (30) days after Tenant has been notified of Landlord's Designated Amount, to submit to Landlord the amount that Tenant considers to be the Prevailing Market Rate, together with data in support thereof (the "Tenant's Designated Amount"). Thereafter, the parties shall have a period of thirty (30) days to engage in discussions for purposes of arriving at a mutually acceptable amount. If the parties are unable to do so, then promptly following the expiration date of such thirty (30) day period, the parties shall submit Landlord's Designated Amount and Tenant's Designated Amount to the nearest local office of the American Arbitration Association (the "Association") so that either Landlord's Designated Amount or Tenant's Designated Amount is selected as the amount which will constitute the Prevailing Market Rate under the Lease. In that regard, it is understood and agreed that no amount other than the Landlord's Designated Amount or the Tenant's Designated Amount may be selected by the Association. Each party shall equally share the costs of arbitration hereunder. The decision of the Association shall be binding on the parties and shall be incorporated into the terms of the Lease. In the event the matter is submitted to the Association for resolution, then during the pendency of the dispute, Tenant shall pay rent under the Lease to the Landlord in an amount equal to Tenant's Designated Amount (the "Tenant's Rent Payment") and Tenant shall pay the difference, on the same due date as the rent is due under the Lease, between Tenant's Designated Amount and Landlord's Designated Amount into the trust account of Tenant's counsel ("Escrow Agent") to be held pending resolution of the dispute. Upon resolution of the dispute and determination of the Prevailing Market Rate by the Association and in the event the Prevailing Market Rate set by the 11 12 Association differs from the Tenant's Rent Payment, the Tenant shall pay and/or cause Escrow Agent to pay to Landlord any deficiency in unpaid rent or Landlord shall pay to Tenant any overpaid rent within five (5) business days of the Association's written decision and a failure to pay such amount during such time period shall be deemed a default of such party's obligations under the Lease. Furthermore, in the event either Landlord or Tenant fails to pay 1/2 of the arbitration costs within five (5) business days from the earlier of (i) any invoice due date or (ii) any request for payment made by the Association or any arbitrator, the same shall be a default of that party's obligations under the Lease. O. STORAGE SPACE: Tenant shall have the right to the use of that certain storage space located on the 7th floor of the building's garage hereby designated as Storage Space No 12 per the attached plan (Exhibit F) consisting of 911 rentable square feet at the rate of $10.00 square feet or Seven Hundred Fifty Nine and 16/100 Dollars ($759.16) per month plus applicable sales tax. Said rate shall increase annually by $0.50 per square foot. P. SIGNAGE Provided that Tenant is not in default of any term, condition or covenant of the Lease beyond all applicable notice and grace periods, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to install rooftop signage on the building. Prior to installation, Tenant shall submit its proposed signage plans (including design, content, location and electrical plans) for Landlord's approval, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Said signage must comply with Landlord's signage criteria and all relevant municipal codes and regulations. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, for obtaining all permits and approvals required to erect and maintain said signage. Additionally, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain and remove signage, if necessary. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, remove such signage.

If Purchaser fails to close for reasons other than as a result of a failure of Seller to perform its obligations to satisfy closing conditions under this Agreement (as set forth herein), then the Earnest Money Deposit, including interest earned thereon, will be paid to Seller as liquidated damages which will be Seller's sole and exclusive remedy.

If the FCC determines that the transactions contemplated hereby or a portion thereof are inconsistent or violative of FCC rules or regulations, the parties agree that they will, to the extent practicable, negotiate in good faith for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days following written notice of such determination by the FCC to amend, modify or restructure the transactions contemplated hereby so as to be consistent with FCC rules and regulations.

During the same period, Seller will promptly notify Purchaser of the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of Seller in this Article VI or of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article III impossible or unlikely. During the same period, Purchaser will promptly notify Seller of the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of Purchaser in this Article VI or of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article III impossible or unlikely.

Section 7.2. Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.04, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its officers, directors, employees, agents, permitted assigns, Affiliates and successors thereof from, against, for and in respect of: (1) any and all damages, losses, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities, claims, actions or causes of action and encumbrances (collectively, "LOSSES") suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by Purchaser and arising from the breach of any written representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of Seller contained in this Agreement; (2) any Losses arising from any acts of Seller and its officers and employees occurring prior to Closing; (3) all Excluded Liabilities, including but not limited to, the Excluded Tax Liabilities, and all liabilities arising from or in connection with the maintenance by Seller or any affiliate of Seller of any employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA); and (4) all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, interest and penalties) incurred by Purchaser in connection with any action, suit, 21 26 proceeding, demand, assessment or judgment incident to any of the matters indemnified against in this Section 7.02. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS INDEMNITY SHALL NOT BE THE SOLE REMEDY IN THE CASE OF INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATIONS, FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE. Section 7.3. Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.04, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and the officers, directors, employees, trustees, agents, permitted assigns, Affiliates and successors thereof harmless from, against, for and in respect of: (1) any and all Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by Seller and arising from the breach of any written representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, or the ownership and operation by Purchaser of the Assets after the Closing; (2) any and all Assumed Liabilities arising from and after the Closing Date; and (3) all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, interest and penalties) incurred by Seller in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, demand, assessment or judgment incident to any of the matters indemnified against in this Section 7.03. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS INDEMNITY SHALL NOT BE THE SOLE REMEDY IN THE CASE OF INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATIONS, FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE. Section 7.4. Indemnification Procedures. The obligations and liabilities of each indemnifying party hereunder with respect to claims resulting from the assertion of liability by the other party or indemnified third parties shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (1) The indemnified party shall give prompt written notice (which is no event shall exceed 30 days from the date on which the indemnified party first became aware of such claim or assertion) to the indemnifying party of any claim which might give rise to a claim by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party based on the indemnity agreements contained in Article VII hereof, stating the nature and basis of said claims and the amounts thereof, to the extent known. The failure to so notify, or any delay in so notifying, the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VII, except solely to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate that such failure actually and materially prejudice the defense of the Action by the indemnifying party. Within 10 days of delivery of such notice, the indemnifying party shall advise the indemnified party (i) whether it disputes the claim for indemnification and (ii) whether the indemnifying party desires at its sole costs and expense to defend such Action. 22 27 (2) In the event that the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party within the notice period specified in clause (a) of this Section 7.04 that the indemnifying party does not dispute the indemnifying party's obligation to indemnify hereunder and desires to defend the indemnified party against such claim and, except as hereunder provided, the indemnifying party shall have the right to defend by appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly settled or prosecuted by the indemnifying party to final conclusion; provided that, unless the indemnified party otherwise agrees, the indemnifying party may not compromise or settle any matter (in whole or in part) (i) without obtaining a complete and unconditional release of the indemnified party, (ii) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party, and (iii) unless there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any other Person and no effect on any claims that may be made against the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend the indemnified party against such claim, whether by failure of the indemnifying party to give the indemnified party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the indemnified party may assume the defense thereof, shall have the right to undertake the defense of, compromise or settle such proceedings and the indemnifying party shall, upon request of the indemnified party, pay to such indemnified party, in accordance with the terms of this Article VII, the amount of Losses resulting from such proceeding; provided, however, that such proceeding shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party's right to object to any proposed compromise or settlement shall be conditioned upon such indemnifying party acknowledging to the indemnified party that such indemnifying party shall be solely responsible (as between the indemnifying party and the indemnified party) for all liabilities and obligations arising from the matter proposed to be compromised or settled. If any Action, suit or proceeding is brought against the indemnified party with respect to which the indemnifying party may have liability under the indemnity agreements contained in Article VII hereof, the Action, suit or proceeding shall, upon the written acknowledgment by the indemnifying party that is obligated to indemnify under such indemnity agreement, be defended (including all proceeding on appeal or for review which counsel for the indemnified party shall deem appropriate) by the indemnifying party. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the indemnified party's own expense unless (i) the employment of such counsel and the payment of such fees and expenses both shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such Action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) counsel to such indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded and specifically notified the indemnifying party that there may be specific defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that such Action, suit or proceeding involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreements contained in Article VI hereof, in any of which events the indemnifying party, to the extent made necessary by such defenses, shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party. In the latter such case only that portion of such fees and expenses of the indemnified party's separate counsel reasonably related to matters covered by the indemnity agreements contained in Article VII hereof shall be borne by the indemnifying party. The indemnified party shall be kept fully informed of such action, suit or proceeding at all stages thereof whether or not it is represented by separate counsel. 23 28 (3) The defending party shall make available to the non-defending party and its attorneys and accountants all books and records of the non-defending party relating to such proceedings or litigation and the parties hereto agree to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such Action, suit or proceeding. (4) There shall be no indemnification recoverable against a party otherwise obligated to provide indemnification therefor under this Article VII (other than the payment of Taxes relating to the Straddle Period) until the Losses by the party seeking such indemnification exceed $100,000 in the aggregate (the "BASKET AMOUNT"), and once all such Losses exceed the Basket Amount, such party shall only be obligated to the other party for Losses in excess of the Basket Amount (other than payment of Taxes relating to the Straddle Period). (5) A waiver of a condition to Closing hereunder shall not preclude the waiving party from being indemnified hereunder. Section 7.5. Certain Tax Matters. For purposes of Section 2.03(b) and 7.02(b), Seller's allocable portion of Taxes with respect to a taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (the "STRADDLE PERIOD") shall be (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, an amount equal to the Tax for the entire period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period for which such Taxes are paid ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period; and (y) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, the amount that would be payable if the taxable period ended on the Closing Date. The party that has the primary obligation to do so under applicable law shall file any Tax Return that is required to be filed in respect of Taxes described in Section 7.02, and that party shall pay the Taxes shown on such Tax Return and the other party shall reimburse the filing party for its share of such Tax as determined under Section 7.02 by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than ten days after receipt of written notice that such Tax has been paid to the applicable governmental body. For purposes of Taxes based upon or measured by net income ("INCOME TAXES"), Seller shall include the net income attributable to Seller, the Station and the Assets in its income through the Closing Date and shall file the appropriate Tax Returns. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all Taxes, including, without limitation, Income Taxes imposed on Seller, if any, as a result of the transfer of the Station and the Assets to Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other with respect to Seller, the Station or the Assets in filing any Tax Return, amended return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes or in conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes with respect to Seller, the Station or the Assets. Such cooperation and information shall include, without limitation, providing copies of all relevant portions of Tax Returns with respect to Seller, together with accompanying schedules and related work papers, documents relating to rulings or other determinations by taxing authorities and records concerning the ownership and tax basis of property, which either party may possess. Each party shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanation of any documents or information provided hereunder. The party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in providing any return, document or other written information, and shall compensate the other for any reasonable costs (excluding wages 24 29 and salaries) of making employees available, upon receipt of reasonable documentation of such costs. Each party shall retain all returns, schedules and work papers and all material records or other documents relating thereto, until the expiration of the statute of limitations (including extensions) of the taxable years to which such returns and other documents relate and, unless the relevant portions of such returns and other documents are offered to the other party, until the final determination of any payments which may be required in respect of such years under this Agreement. Any information obtained under this Section 7.05 shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting any audit or other proceeding and shall be used solely for the purposes set forth in this Section 7.05. ARTICLE 8 TERMINATION Section 8.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing in the following manner: (1) by mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser; or (2) by either Seller or Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred by December 31, 2001, unless such failure to close shall be due to a breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (b); or (3) by either Seller or Purchaser if there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited or a Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or (1) (4) by Seller if (i) any of the material representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall not be true and correct in any material respect, when made or at any time prior to the Closing as if made at and as of such time (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty is made as of a specified date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such specified date), in any respect which is material to Purchaser of the ability of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) Purchaser shall have failed to fulfill in any material respect any of its material obligations under this Agreement, which failure is material to the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement, and, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), such misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or failure (provided it can be cured) has not been cured within 30 days after written notice thereof from Seller to Purchaser; provided that Purchaser shall have no opportunity to cure its failure to timely pay the Purchase Price; or (5) by Purchaser, if (i) any of the material representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall not be true and correct in any material respect, when made or at any time prior to the Closing as if made at and as of such time (except to the extent that any such representation or warranty is made as of a specified date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such 25 30 specified date), in any respect which is material to Seller or the ability of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) Seller shall have failed to fulfill in any material respect any of its material obligations under this Agreement, which failure is material to the obligations of Seller under this Agreement, and, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), such misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or failure (provided it can be cured) has not been cured within 30 days after written notice thereof from Purchaser to Seller. Section 8.2. Certain Remedies Not Exclusive. Except as specifically set forth herein, the rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights and remedies of any party based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall in no way be limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of facts upon which any claim of any such inaccuracy or breach is based may also be the subject matter of any other representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (or in an other agreement between the parties) as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach. Section 8.3. Specific Performance. It is understood and agreed that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for Seller's or Purchaser's failure to perform under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, including Seller's failure to transfer, assign, convey, sell or deliver the Assets to Purchaser and Purchaser's payment of the Purchase Price, that Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, would be irreparably harmed by such a breach and that Purchaser and Seller shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any such breach.
