These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED DECEMBER 20, 2011

Cumulus Media Inc.

Cumulus Media Holdings Inc.

Offer to exchange up to $610,000,000

Aggregate Principal Amount of Newly

Issued 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019

For

a Like Principal Amount of Outstanding

Restricted 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019

Issued on May 13, 2011

 

 

Cumulus Media Holdings Inc. (the “Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cumulus Media Inc. (the “Parent”), hereby offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”), in a transaction registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), up to $610,000,000 aggregate principal amount of a new issue of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Exchange Notes”) for the Issuer’s outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Original Notes”), which were issued by the Parent on May 13, 2011 in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. On September 16, 2011, in connection with an internal restructuring described in more detail elsewhere in this prospectus, the Issuer assumed the obligations of the Parent as the issuer of the Notes and the Parent provided a guarantee of the obligations under the Notes. We sometimes refer to the Original Notes and the Exchange Notes in this prospectus together as the “Notes.”

The terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to the terms of the Original Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will be issued in a transaction registered under the Securities Act, and the transfer restrictions and registration rights and related special interest provisions applicable to the Original Notes will not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Parent and all of the Issuer’s existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (except certain subsidiaries that hold the licenses for our radio stations) that guarantee our indebtedness or indebtedness of the guarantors.

The Exchange Notes will be exchanged for Original Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer.

You may withdraw tenders of Original Notes at any time prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer.

The Exchange Offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2012, unless extended, which we refer to as the “Expiration Date.”

We do not intend to list the Exchange Notes on any national securities exchange or to seek approval through any automated quotation system, and no active public market for the Exchange Notes is anticipated.

 

 

You should consider carefully the risk factors beginning on page 10 of this prospectus, and the risk factors incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before deciding whether to participate in the Exchange Offer.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) nor any state securities commission or other similar authority has approved these Exchange Notes or determined that this prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is                     ,

We have not authorized anyone to give you any information or to make any representations about the Exchange Offer we describe in this prospectus other than those contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus. If you are given any information or representation about this matter that is not described in this prospectus, you must not rely on that information. This prospectus is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities anywhere or to anyone where or to whom we are not permitted to offer to sell securities under applicable law.

In determining whether to participate in the Exchange Offer, investors must rely on their own examination of the Issuer and the terms of the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Offer, including the merits and risks involved. The securities offered by this prospectus have not been recommended by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Except as otherwise indicated, the information in this prospectus is as of the date of this prospectus.

 

 

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of Exchange Notes. The letter of transmittal accompanying this prospectus states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes where the Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 90 days from the date on which the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective and (ii) the date on which a broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with these resales. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Many of these factors are beyond our control or difficult to predict, and their ultimate impact could be material. Moreover, the factors set forth under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Cumulus Media’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “Form 10-K”) and Cumulus Media’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, and September 30, 2011, each of which are incorporated by reference herein, as well as the information under the heading “Risk factors” in Exhibit 99.1 to Cumulus Media’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which was furnished to the SEC on April 25, 2011, and which information is also incorporated by reference herein, in addition to the factors set forth in other filings made from time to time with the SEC by Cumulus Media, should be read and considered as forward-looking statements subject to such risks and uncertainties.

MARKET, RANKING, INDUSTRY DATA AND FORECASTS

The data included or incorporated by reference into this prospectus regarding markets, ranking and forecasts, including the size of certain markets and our position, the position of other market participants and the position of our competitors within these markets, are based on published industry sources and estimates based on our management’s knowledge and experience in the markets in which we operate. Unless otherwise indicated, we (i) obtained total radio industry listener and revenue levels from the Radio Advertising Bureau, (ii) derived historical market revenue statistics and market revenue share percentages from data published by Miller Kaplan, Arase & Co., LLP, a public accounting firm that specializes in serving the broadcasting industry, and BIA Financial Network, Inc., a media and telecommunications advisory services firm, and (iii) derived all audience share data and audience rankings, including ranking by population, except where otherwise stated to the contrary, from surveys of people ages 12 and over, listening Monday through Sunday, 6 a.m. to 12 midnight, and based on, for an individual market either the Arbitron Market Report, or the Nielsen Market Report. We believe these data and estimates to be accurate as of the relevant dates. However, this information may prove to be inaccurate because of the method by which we obtained some of the data for the estimates or because this information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties. Industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but we have not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources, nor have we ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon therein. We cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any such information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any market, industry or similar data presented herein, such data involves risks and uncertainties and is subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the headings “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” in and incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. The following summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding whether to invest in the Exchange Notes and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in the prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference herein, and particularly the information in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 10 of this prospectus, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, before making an investment decision. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Our Company

Cumulus Media is a Delaware corporation, organized in 2002, and successor by merger to an Illinois corporation with the same name that had been organized in 1997. Our executive offices are located at 3280 Peachtree Road, N.W., Suite 2300 Atlanta, Georgia 30305, and our telephone number at that location is (404) 949-0700. Our website address is http://www.cumulus.com. The information on our website is not a part of or incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Our Operations

We are the second largest pure-play radio broadcaster in the United States based on number of stations. At September 30, 2011, we owned or operated more than 570 radio stations (including under local marketing agreements, or “LMAs”) in 120 United States media markets and a nationwide radio network serving over 4,000 stations. Under LMAs, we provide sales and marketing services for seven radio stations in the United States. In addition to entering into LMAs, we have in the past entered, and expect that we will from time to time in the future enter into management or consulting agreements that provide us with the ability, as contractually specified, to assist current owners in the management of radio station assets that we have contracted to purchase, subject to approval of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). In such arrangements, we generally receive a contractually specified management fee or consulting fee in exchange for the services provided.

Our Strengths and Strategy

Cumulus believes that by completing the CMP Acquisition and the Citadel Acquisition, it has created a leading radio broadcasting company with an opportunity to leverage and expand upon its strengths, market presence and programming. Specifically, with the completion of these acquisitions, Cumulus has an extensive large and mid-sized market radio station portfolio, including a presence in eight of the top 10 markets, and broad diversity in format, listener base, geography, advertiser base and revenue stream, all of which are designed to reduce dependence on any single demographic, region or industry. Cumulus believes its increased scale will allow larger, more significant investments in the local digital media marketplace and allow Cumulus’ local digital platforms and strategies, including its social commerce initiatives, to be applied across significant additional markets. Furthermore, the acquisition of Citadel’s nationwide radio network of approximately 4,000 station affiliates and 9,000 program affiliates, which reach approximately 107 million listeners weekly, is intended to create a national network platform for the syndication of Cumulus’ content and technology assets.

Cumulus intends to leverage its experienced management team in an effort to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the completion of each of the CMP Acquisition and the Citadel Acquisition. Specifically, Cumulus believes that the capital structure of the Company resulting from the issuances of securities in connection with the Acquisitions and the sale of $475.0 million of Cumulus Media’s common stock, preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock to certain investors will provide increased liquidity and scale to pursue and finance strategic acquisitions in the future. Cumulus also believes that it will be able to achieve $51.9 million of cost synergies resulting from the integration of Citadel’s historical operations by the end of 2011 which, when combined with the expected incremental revenues therefrom and the other expected benefits from the foregoing transactions, should strongly position Cumulus for future growth.

The Exchange Offer

 

The Exchange Offer

We are offering to exchange up to $610,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes for an equal principal amount of the Original Notes. The Original Notes were issued by the Parent on May 13, 2011 and, as a part of the Internal Restructuring undertaken by the Parent in September 2011, Cumulus Holdings was substituted for the Parent as issuer of the Original Notes. The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to those of the Original Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will be issued in a transaction registered under the Securities Act, and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and related special interest provisions applicable to the Original Notes will not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will be of the same class as the outstanding Original Notes. See “The Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer.”

 

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

The Exchange Notes are being offered to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into with the initial purchasers of the Notes at the time the Original Notes were issued and sold.

 

Expiration Date; Withdrawal of Tenders; Return of Original Notes Not Accepted for Exchange

The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2012, or on a later date and time to which we extend it. Tenders of Original Notes in the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date. We will exchange the Exchange Notes for validly tendered Original Notes promptly following the Expiration Date. Any Original Notes that are not accepted for exchange for any reason will be returned by us, at our expense, to the tendering holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.

 

Procedures for Tendering Original Notes

Each holder of Original Notes wishing to participate in the Exchange Offer must complete, sign and date the accompanying letter of transmittal, or its facsimile, in accordance with its instructions, and mail or otherwise deliver it, or its facsimile, together with the Original Notes and any other required documentation to the exchange agent at the address in the letter of transmittal. Original Notes may be physically delivered, but physical delivery is not required if a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of the Original Notes to the exchange agent’s account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) is delivered in a timely fashion. A holder may also tender its Original Notes by means of DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”), subject to the terms and procedures of that program. See “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes.”

 

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

If you wish to tender your Original Notes, but cannot properly do so prior to the Expiration Date, you may tender your Original Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in “The Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer.”

Table of Contents

Consequences of Failure to Exchange the Original Notes

You will continue to hold Original Notes, which will remain subject to their existing transfer restrictions if you do not validly tender your Original Notes or you tender your Original Notes and they are not accepted for exchange. With some limited exceptions, we will have no obligation to register the Original Notes after we consummate the Exchange Offer. See “The Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer” and “The Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange.”

 

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of Original Notes being tendered for exchange. The Exchange Offer is subject to customary conditions, which may be waived by us in our discretion. We currently expect that all of the conditions will be satisfied and that no waivers will be necessary.

 

Exchange Agent

U.S. Bank National Association.

 

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

Your exchange of an Original Note for an Exchange Note will not constitute a taxable exchange. The exchange will not result in taxable income, gain or loss being recognized by you or by us. Immediately after the exchange, you will have the same adjusted basis and holding period in each Exchange Note received as you had immediately prior to the exchange in the corresponding Original Note surrendered. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

 

Risk Factors

You should consider carefully the risk factors beginning on page 10 of this prospectus, and the risk factors incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before deciding whether to participate in the Exchange Offer.

The Exchange Notes

The following is a brief summary of the principal terms of the Exchange Notes. The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material aspects to those of the Original Notes, except for the transfer restrictions and registration rights and related special interest provisions relating to the Original Notes will not apply to the Exchange Notes. Certain of the terms and conditions described below are subject to important limitations and exceptions. For a more complete description of the terms of the Exchange Notes, see “Description of the Notes.”

 

Issuer

Cumulus Media Holdings Inc.

 

Notes Offered

$610.0 million principal amount of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019. The Exchange Notes offered hereby will be of the same class as the Original Notes.

 

Maturity

May 1, 2019.

 

Interest

7.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year.

 

Guarantors

The Exchange Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Parent and all of the Issuer’s existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than the Issuer’s subsidiaries that hold the licenses for our radio stations) that guarantee its indebtedness or indebtedness of the guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with Parent and any other future guarantors, the “Guarantors”). Under the circumstances described under “Description of the Notes,” the Exchange Notes may also be guaranteed by other parent companies of the Issuer in the future. Under certain circumstances, Subsidiary Guarantors may be released from their guarantees without the consent of the holders of Notes. See “Description of the Notes—Guarantees.”

 

  As of the date hereof, 21 of the Issuer’s subsidiaries hold the licenses for our radio stations and 2 of the Issuer’s subsidiaries are unrestricted subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes), and such subsidiaries do not guarantee the Original Notes and will not guarantee the Exchange Notes. These non-guarantor subsidiaries (including the Issuer’s license subsidiaries and any unrestricted subsidiaries) did not account for any of Cumulus’ consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or any of Cumulus’ consolidated indebtedness at September 30, 2011, but accounted for 39.9% of Cumulus’ consolidated assets as of such date.

 

Ranking

The Exchange Notes and related guarantees will be the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ senior unsecured obligations and will:

 

   

rank senior in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness;

 

   

rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness;

 

 

4


Table of Contents
   

be effectively subordinated to any of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt; and

 

   

be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of each of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Exchange Notes, including all indebtedness and other liabilities, including preferred stock, of the Issuer’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

 

  As of September 30, 2011, Cumulus and its consolidated subsidiaries had approximately $2.9 billion of total debt, of which approximately 79.1% was secured, and Cumulus had $100.0 of borrowings available under its 2011 Credit Facilities (as defined below under “Description of Other Indebtedness”).

 

Change of Control and Asset Sales

If Cumulus Holdings experiences specific kinds of changes of control, it will be required to make an offer to purchase the Exchange Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the purchase date. If Cumulus Holdings or its restricted subsidiaries sell certain assets, it will be required under certain circumstances to make an offer to purchase the Exchange Notes at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the purchase date. See “Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the option of Holders—Change of Control” and “Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the option of Holders—Asset Sales.”

 

Optional Redemption

Any time prior to May 1, 2014, Cumulus Holdings may, at its option, use the net proceeds of one or more equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes at a redemption price equal to 107.75%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

 

  At any time prior to May 1, 2015, Cumulus Holdings may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the Exchange Notes in cash at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus the applicable premium described under “Description of the Notes—Optional redemption,” plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

 

  On or after May 1, 2015, Cumulus Holdings may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the Exchange Notes in cash at the redemption prices described under “Description of the Notes—Optional redemption,” plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

 

Certain Covenants

The Indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that restrict Cumulus Holdings’ ability, and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries, to, among other things:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem its capital stock;

Summary Historical Financial Information

Set forth below is summary historical financial information for Cumulus. The summary historical financial information for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009, and 2010 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, has been derived from our financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference herein.

Primarily as a result of the completion of the CMP Acquisition and the Citadel Acquisition in the third quarter of 2011, we believe that our results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, and our financial condition at such date, will provide only limited comparability to prior periods. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such comparison. Revenues and net income of $32.0 million and $9.9 million, respectively, attributable to CMP since August 1, 2011 are included in this summary historical financial information for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. Revenues and net income of $33.3 million and $11.1 million, respectively, attributable to Citadel since September 16, 2011 are included in this summary historical financial information for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. Each of the CMP Acquisition and the Citadel Acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the respective purchase prices were allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. Each purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to, among other things, the final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and may be adjusted for up to twelve months following the closing date of each respective acquisition.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is the financial metric utilized by management to analyze the cash flow generated by our business. This measure isolates the amount of income generated by our radio stations after the incurrence of corporate general and administrative expenses. Management also uses this measure to determine the contribution of our radio station portfolio, including the corporate resources employed to manage the portfolio, to the funding of our other operating expenses and to the funding of debt service and acquisitions. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric for purposes of calculating and determining our compliance with certain covenants contained in our First Lien Credit Facility (as defined below under “Description of Other Indebtedness”).

In deriving this measure, management excludes depreciation, amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation expense from the measure as these do not represent cash payments for activities related to the operation of the radio stations. In addition, we also exclude LMA fees from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, even though such fees require a cash settlement, because they are excluded from the definition of Adjusted EBITDA contained in our First Lien Credit Facility. Management excludes any gain or loss on the exchange of radio stations as it does not represent a cash transaction. Management also excludes any realized gain or loss on derivative instruments as it does not represent a cash transaction nor is it associated with radio station operations. Management excludes impairment of goodwill and intangible assets as it does not represent a cash transaction. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, although not a measure that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, nevertheless is commonly employed by the investment community as a measure for determining the market value of a radio company. Management has also observed that Adjusted EBITDA is routinely employed to evaluate and negotiate the potential purchase price for radio broadcasting companies, and is a key metric for purposes of calculating and determining compliance with certain covenants in our First Lien Credit Facility. Given the relevance to our overall value, management believes that investors consider the metric to be extremely useful.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining our operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP.

RISK FACTORS

The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material aspects to those of the Original Notes, except for the transfer restrictions and registration rights and related special interest provisions relating to the Original Notes that do not apply to the Exchange Notes. This section describes some, but not all, of the risks of acquiring the Exchange Notes and participating in the Exchange Offer. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risk factors described below, the risk factors included the Form 10-K, in Cumulus Media’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011, and in Exhibit 99.1 to Cumulus Media’s Form 8-K furnished to the SEC on April 25, 2011, each of which is incorporated by reference herein, as well as the risks described in our other filings with the SEC that are incorporated by reference herein.

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the Notes.

As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $2.9 billion of debt, of which approximately 79.1% was secured. This level of indebtedness could have important consequences to holders of Notes. For example, it could:

 

   

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the Notes and our other debt, including our ability to make payments on the Notes;

 

   

impair our ability to obtain financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate requirements;

 

   

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

   

limit our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we would need to dedicate a substantial portion of these funds for payments on our indebtedness;

 

   

expose us to the risk of increase interest rates as certain of our borrowings, including borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below under “Description of Other Indebtedness”), are and may be at variable rates of interest.

 

   

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and

 

   

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.

The agreements governing our debt, including the 2011 Credit Facilities (as defined below under “Description of Other Indebtedness”) and the Indenture, limit, but do not prohibit, us from incurring additional debt in the future, including additional secured debt. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, our ability to satisfy our debt obligations, including the payment of principal and interest on the Notes, may become more limited.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance, our debt and other obligations will depend on our financial and operating performance which, in turn, is subject to our ability to implement cost reduction initiatives and other strategies, prevailing economic conditions and certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service and other obligations, we may not be able to consummate any proposed acquisitions, be forced to reduced or delay capital expenditures, sell material assets or operations, obtain additional capital or restructure our debt and other obligations as they become due, including under the Notes. We can provide no assurances that our operating performance, cash flow and capital resources will be sufficient to pay our debt and other obligations when they become due, including our obligations under the Notes.

The level of our outstanding debt may make it more difficult to comply with the financial covenants in our debt instruments, which could cause a default or an event of default under such debt instruments and could result in the loss of our sources of liquidity, acceleration of our indebtedness and, in some instances, the foreclosure on some or all of our assets, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness contain restrictive financial covenants. Our ability to comply with the covenants in the Indenture and the 2011 Credit Facilities will depend upon our future performance and various other factors, such as business, competitive, technological, legislative and regulatory factors, some of which are beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain compliance with all of these covenants in the future. In that event, we would need to seek an amendment or waiver to the applicable agreement, or a refinancing of such obligations. There can be no assurance that we will be able obtain any amendment or waiver of any such facilities and, even if so, it is likely that such relief would only last for a specified period, potentially necessitating additional amendments, waivers or refinancings in the future.

In the event that we do not maintain compliance with the covenants under the 2011 Credit Facilities, lenders could declare an event of default, subject to applicable notice and cure provisions, resulting in a material adverse impact on our financial position. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the 2011 Credit Facilities to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. In addition, lenders under any of our indebtedness to which a cross-default or cross-acceleration provision applies may then be entitled to take certain similar actions. In the event any of our lenders or noteholders accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay such indebtedness.

The lenders under the 2011 Credit Facilities have taken security interests in substantially all of our consolidated assets, and we have pledged the stock of certain of our subsidiaries to secure the debt under the 2011 Credit Facilities. If the lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we may be forced to liquidate certain assets to repay all or part of such borrowings, and we cannot assure you that sufficient assets will remain after we have paid all of the borrowings under such 2011 Credit Facilities. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. Our ability to liquidate assets could also be affected by the regulatory restrictions associated with radio stations, including FCC licensing, which may make the market for these assets less liquid and increase the chances that these assets will be liquidated at a significant loss. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, including the Notes, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful. Our ability to make scheduled payments on or refinance our debt obligations, including the Notes, depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. We may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, including the Notes. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes. We may not be able to effect any such alternative measures on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those alternative actions may not allow us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. The 2011 Credit Facilities restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from those dispositions, and may also restrict our ability to raise debt or equity capital to repay other indebtedness when it becomes due. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or obtain proceeds in an amount sufficient to meet any debt service obligations then due.

Table of Contents

We are a holding company with no material independent assets or operations and we depend on our subsidiaries for cash.

We are a holding company with no material independent assets or operations, other than our investments in our subsidiaries. Because we are a holding company, we are dependent upon the payment of dividends, distributions, loans or advances to us by our subsidiaries to fund our obligations, including our obligations under the Notes. These payments could be subject to restrictions on dividends or other payment restrictions under applicable laws in the jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate. Payments by our subsidiaries are also contingent upon the subsidiaries’ earnings. We may be unable to obtain sufficient funds from our subsidiaries to fund our obligations, including our obligations under the Notes.

Despite our current level of indebtedness, we may still be able to incur additional debt. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.

We may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future. Although the Indenture and the 2011 Credit Facilities contain, and credit facilities we enter into in the future may contain, restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and any additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be material. If we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equally with the Notes, subject to collateral arrangements, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with the noteholders in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of Cumulus and its subsidiaries. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to the noteholders. These restrictions also will not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. As of September 30, 2011, we had borrowing availability of $100.0 million under the 2011 Credit Facilities.

The terms of the Indenture and the 2011 Credit Facilities restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions.

The Indenture and the 2011 Credit Facilities contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interest, including restrictions on our ability to:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;

 

   

pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock;

 

   

prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;

 

   

issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities;

 

   

make loans and investments;

 

   

sell assets;

 

   

incur liens;

 

   

enter into transactions with affiliates;

 

   

alter the businesses we conduct;

 

   

enter into agreements restricting our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and

 

   

consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

In addition, the restrictive covenants in the 2011 Credit Facilities require us to maintain compliance with specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial condition tests. Under the 2011 Credit Facilities, Cumulus Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries were required to maintain a consolidated total net leverage ratio no higher than 7.75:1 with respect to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2011 (with stepdowns beginning in the quarter ending June 30, 2012, if amounts are then outstanding thereunder). Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control. You should read the

Table of Contents

discussions under the headings “Description of the Notes—Certain covenants” and “Description of Other Indebtedness” for further information about these covenants. A breach of the covenants or restrictions under the Indenture or the 2011 Credit Facilities, could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such a default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, an event of default under the 2011 Credit Facilities would permit the lenders under those facilities to terminate all commitments to extend further credit under those facilities. Furthermore, if we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under the 2011 Credit Facilities, the lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. In the event our lenders or noteholders accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness.

As a result of these restrictions, we may be:

 

   

limited in how we conduct our business;

 

   

unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns; or

 

   

unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.

These restrictions may adversely affect our ability to operate our current and planned business, or make certain changes in our business and to respond to changing circumstances, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, our financial results, our indebtedness and our credit ratings could adversely affect the availability and terms of any financing.

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

Borrowings under the First Lien Facility and the Second Lien Facility (each as defined below under “Description of Other Indebtedness”) are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income would decrease. As a result, a significant increase in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to comply with our obligations under the Notes.

The Original Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, effectively subordinated to Cumulus Holdings’ and the Guarantors’ secured indebtedness under the 2011 Credit Facilities, and any other secured indebtedness we may have to the extent of the value of the property securing that indebtedness.

As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $2.9 billion of debt, of which approximately 79.1% was secured. Cumulus Media’s, Cumulus Holdings’ and our restricted subsidiaries’ obligations under the 2011 Credit Facilities are collateralized by a first priority lien and second priority lien, respectively, on substantially all of Cumulus Media’s, Cumulus Holdings’ and our restricted subsidiaries’ assets in which a security interest may lawfully be granted, including, without limitation, intellectual property and substantially all of the capital stock of Cumulus Media’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital stock of any future first-tier foreign subsidiaries. In addition, Cumulus Holdings’ obligations under the 2011 Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Cumulus Media and substantially all of its restricted subsidiaries, other than Cumulus Holdings. The Notes and the related guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of Cumulus Holdings’ and the Guarantors’ secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.

The agreements governing our debt, including the First Lien Facility, the Second Lien Facility and the Indenture, limit, but do not prohibit, us from incurring additional debt and we may incur a significant amount of additional debt in the future, including additional secured debt.

 

13


Table of Contents

The effect of this subordination is that upon a default in payment on, or the acceleration of, any of our secured indebtedness, or in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization of Cumulus Holdings or the Guarantors, the proceeds from the sale of assets securing such secured indebtedness will be available to pay obligations on the Notes only after all indebtedness under the 2011 Credit Facilities and any other secured debt has been paid in full. As a result, the holders of the Notes may receive less, ratably, than the holders of secured debt in the event of Cumulus Holdings’ or the Guarantors’ bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization.

The Original Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, structurally subordinated to all obligations of our existing and future subsidiaries that are not and do not become Guarantors of the Notes.

The Original Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, guaranteed by each existing and subsequently acquired or organized parent or subsidiary that guarantees obligations under the 2011 Credit Facilities or that, in the future, guarantees Cumulus Holdings’ other indebtedness or indebtedness of another Guarantor. Cumulus Holdings’ subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes, including all of its non-domestic subsidiaries and its subsidiaries that hold the licenses for our radio stations, will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under the Notes or to make any funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other payment. The Notes and related guarantees are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of any non-guarantor parent or subsidiary such that in the event of insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of any parent or subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, all of that parent or subsidiary’s creditors (including trade creditors) and preferred stockholders would be entitled to payment in full out of that parent or subsidiary’s assets before we would be entitled to any payment. In addition, the Indenture, subject to some limitations, permits these parents or subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and does not contain any limitation on the amount of other liabilities, such as trade payables, that may be incurred by these entities. In addition, the equity interests of other equity holders in any non-wholly-owned subsidiary in any dividend or other distribution made by these entities would need to be satisfied on a proportionate basis with us. These less than wholly-owned subsidiaries may also be subject to restrictions on their ability to distribute cash to us in their financing or other agreements, and, as a result, we may not be able to access their cash flow to service our debt obligations, including in respect of the Notes. Cumulus Media’s license subsidiaries that hold the licenses for its radio stations do not guarantee the Original Notes, and will not guarantee the Exchange Notes, but do provide guarantees under the Revolving Credit Facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the non-guarantor subsidiaries (including license subsidiaries and any unrestricted subsidiaries) did not contribute any amounts to our net revenues, but represented (2.2)% of our operating income and (1.8)% of our Adjusted EBITDA. As of September 30, 2011, our non-guarantor subsidiaries (including our license subsidiaries and any unrestricted subsidiaries) represented 39.9% of our total assets and 12.2% of our total liabilities.

In addition, a Guarantor is automatically released from its guarantee upon the occurrence of certain events, including the following:

 

   

the designation of that Guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary;

 

   

the release or discharge of any guarantee or indebtedness that resulted in the creation of the guarantee of the Notes by such Guarantor; or

 

   

the sale or other disposition, including the sale of substantially all the assets, of that Subsidiary Guarantor.

If any subsidiary guarantee is released, no holder of Notes will have a claim as a creditor against that entity, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables and preferred stock, if any, whether secured or unsecured, of that entity will be effectively senior to the claim of any holders of the Notes. See “Description of the Notes—Guarantees.”

Table of Contents

There are important considerations in connection with a potential change of control, including that Cumulus Holdings may not be able to repurchase the Notes upon such a change of control.

Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, Cumulus Holdings will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Additionally under the 2011 Credit Facilities, a change of control (as defined therein) constitutes an event of default that permits the lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings under those facilities and terminate their commitments to lend. The source of funds for any purchase of the Notes and repayment of borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facilities would be our available cash or cash generated from our subsidiaries’ operations or other sources, including borrowings, sales of assets or sales of equity. Cumulus Holdings may not be able to repurchase the Notes upon a change of control because it may not have sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the debt securities that are tendered upon a change of control and repay other indebtedness that will become due. If Cumulus Holdings fails to repurchase the Notes in that circumstance, it will be in default under the Indenture. Cumulus Holdings may require additional financing from third parties to fund any such purchases, and Cumulus Holdings may be unable to obtain financing on satisfactory terms or at all. Further, Cumulus Holdings’ ability to repurchase the Notes may be limited by law. In order to avoid the obligations to repurchase the Notes and events of default and potential breaches of the credit agreements governing Cumulus Holdings’ credit facilities, we may have to avoid certain change of control transactions that would otherwise be beneficial to us.

In addition, the change of control provisions in the Indenture may not protect you from certain important corporate events, such as a leveraged recapitalization (which would increase the level of our indebtedness), reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction, unless such transaction constitutes a “change of control” under the Indenture. Such a transaction may not involve a change in voting power or beneficial ownership or, even if it does, may not involve a change that constitutes a “change of control” as defined in the Indenture that would trigger our obligation to repurchase the Notes. Therefore, if an event occurs that does not constitute a “change of control” as defined in the Indenture, Cumulus Holdings will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes and noteholders may be required to continue to hold their Notes despite the event. See “Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the option of Holders—Change of Control.”

One of the circumstances under which a change of control may occur is upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of Cumulus Holdings’ assets. However, the phrase “all or substantially all” will likely be interpreted under applicable state law and will be dependent upon particular facts and circumstances. As a result, there may be a degree of uncertainty in ascertaining whether a sale or disposition of “all or substantially all” of Cumulus Holdings’ capital stock, membership interests or assets has occurred, in which case, the ability of a holder of the Notes to obtain the benefit of an offer to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes held by such holder may be impaired. The exercise by the holders of Notes of their right to require Cumulus Holdings to repurchase the Notes pursuant to a change of control offer could cause a default under the agreements governing Cumulus Holdings’ other indebtedness, including future agreements, even if the change of control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on Cumulus Holdings. In the event that a change of control offer is required to be made at a time when Cumulus Holdings is prohibited from repurchasing Notes, Cumulus Holdings could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibitions. If Cumulus Holdings does not obtain a consent or repay those borrowings, it will remain prohibited from repurchasing the Notes. In that case, Cumulus Holdings’ failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an event of default under the Indenture which could, in turn, constitute a default under its other indebtedness. Finally, Cumulus Holdings’ ability to pay cash to the holders of Notes upon a repurchase may be limited by its then existing financial resources.

Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from guarantors.

The Original Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, guaranteed by Cumulus Media and certain of Cumulus Holdings’ subsidiaries. Under U.S. bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent

transfer laws, a guarantee can be voided, or claims under a guarantee may be subordinated to all other debts of that subsidiary guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee:

 

   

intended to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor or received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the issuance of the guarantee; and

 

   

the subsidiary guarantor:

 

   

was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of issuing the guarantee;

 

   

was engaged or about to engage in a business or transaction for which the guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital to carry on its business;

 

   

intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they become due; or

 

   

was a defendant in an action for money damages, or had a judgment for money damages docketed against it and, in either case, after final judgment, the judgment was unsatisfied.

In addition, any payment by that guarantor under a guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor under such circumstances. The measures of insolvency for purposes of fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the governing law. Generally, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if

 

   

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair salable value of all of its assets;

 

   

the present fair salable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they became absolute and mature; or

 

   

it could not pay its debts as they became due.

In the event a guarantee of the Notes by a guarantor is voided as a fraudulent conveyance, holders of the Notes would effectively be subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of that guarantor.

We cannot be sure that a market for the Notes, if any, will develop or continue.

The Exchange Notes will be new securities for which there is currently no public market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the Exchange Notes on any securities exchange. The liquidity of the trading market in the Exchange Notes and the market price quoted for the Exchange Notes may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for high yield securities and by changes in our financial performance or prospects or in the financial performance. We cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop or be maintained for the Exchange Notes. If an active market does not develop or is not maintained, the market price of the Exchange Notes may decline and you may not be able to resell the Exchange Notes at the time, or at the prices, you would expect.

If you fail to exchange your Original Notes, they will continue to be restricted securities and may become less liquid.

Original Notes that you do not tender, or we do not accept, will, following the Exchange Offer, continue to be restricted securities, and you may not offer to sell them except as pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We will issue Exchange Notes in exchange for the Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer only following the satisfaction of the procedures and conditions set forth in “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes” and “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” These procedures and conditions include timely receipt by the exchange agent of such Original Notes (or a confirmation of book-entry transfer) and of a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or an agent’s message from the Depositary Trust Company).

Table of Contents

Because we anticipate that all or substantially all holders of Original Notes will elect to exchange their Original Notes in this Exchange Offer, we expect that the market for any Original Notes remaining after the completion of the Exchange Offer will be substantially limited. Any Original Notes tendered and exchanged in the Exchange Offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes outstanding. Following the Exchange Offer, if you do not tender your Original Notes, you generally will not have any further registration rights, and your Original Notes will continue to be subject to certain transfer restrictions. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the Original Notes could be adversely affected.

SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Set forth below is selected historical consolidated financial information for Cumulus as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, and as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011. The selected historical financial information as of December 31, 2009 and 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference herein. The selected historical consolidated financial information as of September 31, 2010 and 2011 and for the nine month periods then ended have been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference herein. The selected historical financial information as of December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements not included or incorporated by reference herein.

Primarily as a result of the completion of the CMP Acquisition and the Citadel Acquisition in the third quarter of 2011, we believe that our results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, and our financial condition at such date, will provide only limited comparability to prior periods. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such comparison. Revenues and net income of $32.0 million and $9.9 million, respectively, attributable to CMP since August 1, 2011 are included in this summary historical financial information for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. Revenues and net income of $33.3 million and $11.1 million, respectively, attributable to Citadel since September 16, 2011 are included in this summary historical financial information for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. Each of the CMP Acquisition and the Citadel Acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the respective purchase prices were allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. Each purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to, among other things, the final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and may be adjusted for up to twelve months following the closing date of each respective acquisition.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

In connection with the offer and sale of the Original Notes, each of Cumulus Media, Cumulus Holdings and the other Guarantors entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Original Notes. We are making the Exchange Offer to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

Cumulus Holdings is offering to exchange, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal, Exchange Notes for an equal principal amount of Original Notes. The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to those of the Original Notes, except for transfer restrictions, registration rights and special interest provisions relating to the Original Notes that will not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will be entitled to the benefits of the indenture under which the Original Notes were issued. See “Description of the Notes.”

The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of Original Notes being tendered or accepted for exchange. As of the date of this prospectus, $610.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes was outstanding. Original Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer must be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Based on certain interpretive letters issued by the staff of the SEC to third parties in unrelated transactions, holders of Original Notes, except any holder who is an “affiliate” of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, who exchange their Original Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer generally may offer the Exchange Notes for resale, resell the Exchange Notes and otherwise transfer the Exchange Notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that the Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of the holders’ business and such holders are not participating in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes.

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes, where the Original Notes were acquired by the broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes as described in “Plan of Distribution.” In addition, to comply with the securities laws of individual jurisdictions, if applicable, the Exchange Notes may not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the jurisdiction or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with. We have agreed, pursuant to the registration rights agreement, to file with the SEC a registration statement (of which this prospectus forms a part) with respect to the Exchange Notes. If you do not exchange Original Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, your Original Notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer.

If any holder of the Original Notes is an affiliate of ours, is engaged in or intends to engage in or has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes to be acquired in the Exchange Offer, the holder would not be able to rely on the applicable interpretations of the SEC and would be required to comply with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, except for resales made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirement of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

Expiration Date; Extensions; Termination; Amendments

The Exchange Offer expires on the Expiration Date, which is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , 2012 unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the period during which the Exchange Offer is open. We will keep the Exchange Offer open for the period required by applicable law, but in any event for at least twenty business days.

 

20


Table of Contents

We reserve the right to extend the Exchange Offer at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Date by giving written notice to U.S. Bank National Association, the exchange agent, and by public announcement communicated by no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day following the previously scheduled expiration date, unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, by making a release to PR Newswire or other wire service. During any extension of the Exchange Offer, all Original Notes previously tendered will remain subject to the Exchange Offer and may be accepted for exchange by us.

The exchange date will be as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date. We expressly reserve the right to:

 

   

terminate the Exchange Offer and not accept for exchange any Original Notes for any reason, including if any of the events set forth below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” shall have occurred and shall not have been waived by us; and

 

   

amend the terms of the Exchange Offer in any manner, whether before or after any tender of the Original Notes.

If any termination or material amendment occurs, we will notify the exchange agent in writing and will either issue a press release or give written notice to the holders of the Original Notes as promptly as practicable. Additionally, in the event of a material amendment or change in the Exchange Offer, which would include any waiver of a material condition hereof, we will extend the offer period, if necessary, so that at least five business days remain in the Exchange Offer following notice of the material amendment or change, as applicable.

Unless we terminate the Exchange Offer prior to the Expiration Date, we will exchange the Exchange Notes for the tendered Original Notes promptly after the Expiration Date, and will issue to the exchange agent Exchange Notes for Original Notes validly tendered, not withdrawn and accepted for exchange. Any Original Notes not accepted for exchange for any reason will be returned without expense to the tendering holder promptly after expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer. See “—Acceptance of Original Notes for Exchange; Delivery of Exchange Notes.”

This prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal and other relevant materials will be mailed by us to record holders of Original Notes and will be furnished to brokers, banks and similar persons whose names, or the names of whose nominees, appear on the lists of holders for subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of Original Notes.

Procedures for Tendering Original Notes

The tender of Original Notes by you pursuant to any one of the procedures set forth below will constitute an agreement between you and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal.

General Procedures. You may tender Original Notes by:

 

   

properly completing and signing the accompanying letter of transmittal or a facsimile and delivering the letter of transmittal together with a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of the Original Notes being tendered, if the procedure is available, into the exchange agent’s account at DTC for that purpose pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below, or

 

   

complying with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

A holder may also tender its Original Notes by means of the ATOP, subject to the terms and procedures of that system. If delivery is made through ATOP, the holder must transmit an agent’s message to the exchange agent’s account at DTC. The term “agent’s message” means a message, transmitted to DTC and received by the exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry transfer, that states that DTC has received an express acknowledgement that the holder agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce the letter of transmittal against the holder.

 

21


Table of Contents

If tendered Original Notes are registered in the name of the signer of the accompanying letter of transmittal and the Exchange Notes to be issued in exchange for those Original Notes are to be issued, or if a new note representing any untendered Original Notes is to be issued, in the name of the registered holder, the signature of the signer need not be guaranteed. In any other case, the tendered Original Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by written instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to us and duly executed by the registered holder and the signature on the endorsement or instrument of transfer must be guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located or having an office or correspondent in the United States or by a member firm of a national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or by a member of a signature medallion program such as “STAMP.” If the Exchange Notes and/or Original Notes not exchanged are to be delivered to an address other than that of the registered holder appearing on the note register for the Original Notes, the signature on the letter of transmittal must be guaranteed by an eligible institution.

Any beneficial owner whose Original Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender Original Notes should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender Original Notes on the beneficial owner’s behalf. If the beneficial owner wishes to tender the Original Notes itself, the beneficial owner must, prior to completing and executing the accompanying letter of transmittal and delivering the Original Notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Original Notes in the beneficial owner’s name or follow the procedures described in the immediately preceding paragraph. The transfer of record ownership may take considerable time.

A tender will be deemed to have been received as of the date when:

 

   

the tendering holder’s properly completed and duly signed letter of transmittal accompanied by a book-entry confirmation is received by the exchange agent; or

 

   

notice of guaranteed delivery or letter or facsimile transmission to similar effect from an eligible institution is received by the exchange agent.

Issuances of Exchange Notes in exchange for Original Notes tendered pursuant to a notice of guaranteed delivery or letter or facsimile transmission to similar effect by an eligible institution will be made only against deposit of the letter of transmittal and book-entry confirmation and any other required documents.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance for exchange of any tender of Original Notes will be determined by us and will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders not in proper form or the acceptances for exchange of which may, upon advice of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any of the conditions to the Exchange Offer or any defects or irregularities in tenders of any particular holder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other holders. Neither we, the exchange agent, the trustee nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders or will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, including the letter of transmittal and its instructions, will be final and binding.

The method of delivery of all documents is at the election and risk of the tendering holder, and delivery will be deemed made only when actually received and confirmed by the exchange agent. If the delivery is by mail, it is recommended that registered mail properly insured with return receipt requested be used and that the mailing be made sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to permit delivery to the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. As an alternative to delivery by mail, holders may wish to consider overnight or hand delivery service. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure delivery to the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. No letter of transmittal or other document should be sent to us. Beneficial owners may request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect the above transactions for them.

 

22


Table of Contents

Book-Entry Transfer. The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the Original Notes at DTC for purposes of the Exchange Offer within two business days after this prospectus is mailed to holders, and any financial institution that is a participant in DTC may make book-entry delivery of Original Notes by causing DTC to transfer the Original Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures for transfer.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. If the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, a tender may be effected if the exchange agent has received at its office a letter or facsimile transmission from an eligible institution setting forth the name and address of the tendering holder, the names in which the Original Notes are registered, the principal amount of the Original Notes being tendered and stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that within three NASDAQ Stock Market trading days after the Expiration Date a book-entry confirmation together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and any other required documents, will be delivered by the eligible institution to the exchange agent in accordance with the procedures outlined above. Unless Original Notes being tendered by the above-described method are deposited with the exchange agent, including through a book-entry confirmation, within the time period set forth above and accompanied or preceded by a properly completed letter of transmittal and any other required documents, we may, at our option, reject the tender. Additional copies of a notice of guaranteed delivery which may be used by eligible institutions for the purposes described in this paragraph are available from the exchange agent.

Terms and Conditions Contained in the Letter of Transmittal

The accompanying letter of transmittal contains, among other things, the following terms and conditions, which are part of the Exchange Offer.

The transferring party tendering Original Notes for exchange will be deemed to have exchanged, assigned and transferred the Original Notes to us and irrevocably constituted and appointed the exchange agent as the transferor’s agent and attorney-in-fact to cause the Original Notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged. The transferor will be required to represent and warrant that it has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Original Notes and to acquire Exchange Notes issuable upon the exchange of the tendered Original Notes and that, when the same are accepted for exchange, we will acquire good and unencumbered title to the tendered Original Notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions (other than restrictions on transfer), charges and encumbrances and that the tendered Original Notes are not and will not be subject to any adverse claim. The transferor will be required to also agree that it will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the exchange agent or us to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of tendered Original Notes. The transferor will be required to agree that acceptance of any tendered Original Notes by us and the issuance of Exchange Notes in exchange for tendered Original Notes will constitute performance in full by us of our obligations under the registration rights agreement and that we will have no further obligations or liabilities under the registration rights agreement, except in certain limited circumstances. All authority conferred by the transferor will survive the death, bankruptcy or incapacity of the transferor and every obligation of the transferor will be binding upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors, assigns, executors, administrators and trustees in bankruptcy of the transferor.

By tendering Original Notes and executing the accompanying letter of transmittal, the transferor certifies that:

 

   

it is not an affiliate of ours or our subsidiaries or, if the transferor is an affiliate of ours or our subsidiaries, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable;

 

   

the Exchange Notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving the Exchange Notes, whether or not the person is the registered holder;

 

   

the transferor has not entered into an arrangement or understanding with any other person to participate in the distribution, within the meaning of the Securities Act, of the Exchange Notes;

 

23


Table of Contents
   

the transferor is not a broker-dealer who purchased the Original Notes for resale pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act; and

 

   

the transferor will be able to trade the Exchange Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer without restriction under the Securities Act.

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Withdrawal Rights

Original Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

For a withdrawal to be effective, a written letter or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth in the accompanying letter of transmittal not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the person named in the letter of transmittal as having tendered Original Notes to be withdrawn, the principal amount of Original Notes to be withdrawn, that the holder is withdrawing its election to have such Original Notes exchanged and the name of the registered holder of the Original Notes, and must be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to us that the person withdrawing the tender has succeeded to the ownership of the Original Notes being withdrawn. Properly withdrawn Original Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes” above at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Original Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC. All questions as to the validity of notices of withdrawals, including time of receipt, will be determined by us, and will be final and binding on all parties.

Acceptance of Original Notes for Exchange; Delivery of Exchange Notes

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the acceptance for exchange of Original Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn and the issuance of the Exchange Notes will be made on the exchange date. For purposes of the Exchange Offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for exchange validly tendered Original Notes when and if we have given written notice to the exchange agent.

The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders of Original Notes for the purposes of receiving Exchange Notes from us and causing the Original Notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged.

Solicitation of Tenders; Expenses

We have not retained any dealer-manager or similar agent in connection with the Exchange Offer and we will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others for soliciting acceptances of the Exchange Offer. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The expenses to be incurred in connection with the Exchange Offer, including the fees and expenses of the exchange agent and printing, accounting and legal fees, will be paid by us.

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with the Exchange Offer other than those contained in this prospectus. If given or made, the information or representations should not be relied upon as having been authorized by us. Neither the delivery of this prospectus nor any exchange made in the Exchange Offer will, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in our affairs since the date of this prospectus or any earlier date as of which information is given in this prospectus.

The Exchange Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of Original Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Exchange Offer or the acceptance would not be in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction. However, we may, at our discretion, take any action as we may deem necessary to make the Exchange Offer in any jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction where its securities laws or blue sky laws require the Exchange Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Exchange Offer is being made on our behalf by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of the jurisdiction.

Appraisal Rights

You will not have dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights in connection with the Exchange Offer.

Accounting Treatment

The Exchange Notes will be recorded at the carrying value of the Original Notes as reflected on our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, no gain or loss for accounting purposes will be recognized by us upon the exchange of Exchange Notes for Original Notes. Expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the Exchange Notes will be amortized over the term of the Exchange Notes.

Transfer Taxes

If you tender your Original Notes, you will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection with the Exchange Offer unless you instruct us to register Exchange Notes in the name of, or request Original Notes not tendered or not accepted in the Exchange Offer be returned to, a person other than the registered holder, in which case you will be responsible for the payment of any applicable transfer tax.

Income Tax Considerations

We advise you to consult your own tax advisers as to your particular circumstances and the effects of any state, local or foreign tax laws to which you may be subject.

The discussion herein is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder, in each case as in effect on the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change.

The exchange of an Original Note for an Exchange Note will not constitute a taxable exchange. The exchange will not result in taxable income, gain or loss being recognized by you or by us. Immediately after the exchange, you will have the same adjusted basis and holding period in each Exchange Note received as you had immediately prior to the exchange in the corresponding Original Note surrendered. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more information.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

As a consequence of the offer or sale of the Original Notes pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, holders of Original Notes who do not exchange Original Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of the Original Notes. In general, the Original Notes may not be offered or sold unless such offers and sales are registered under the Securities Act, or exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

Upon completion of the Exchange Offer, due to the restrictions on transfer of the Original Notes and the absence of similar restrictions applicable to the Exchange Notes, it is highly likely that the market, if any, for Original Notes will be relatively less liquid than the market for Exchange Notes. Consequently, holders of Original Notes who do not participate in the Exchange Offer could experience significant diminution in the value of their Original Notes compared to the value of the Exchange Notes.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Exchange Offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement relating to the Original Notes. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes. The form and terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the Original Notes, except with respect to the transfer restrictions and registration rights and related special interest provisions relating to the Original Notes. In consideration for issuing the Exchange Notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive, in exchange, an equal principal amount of outstanding Original Notes. The Original Notes surrendered in exchange for the Exchange Notes will be retired and cannot be reissued.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

On September 16, 2011, in connection with the closing of the Citadel Acquisition and in order to complete our previously announced global refinancing (the “Global Refinancing”), the Company entered into a (i) First Lien Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Facility”), dated as of September 16, 2011, among Cumulus Media, Cumulus Holdings, as Borrower, certain lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (“JPMorgan”), UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”), MIHI LLC (“Macquarie”), Royal Bank of Canada and ING Capital LLC, as Co-Syndication Agents, and U.S. Bank National Association and Fifth Third Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents and (ii) Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Facility” and, together with the First Lien Facility, the “2011 Credit Facilities”), dated as of September 16, 2011, among Cumulus Media, Cumulus Holdings, as Borrower, certain lenders, JPMorgan, as Administrative Agent, and UBS, Macquarie, Royal Bank of Canada and ING Capital LLC, as Co-Syndication Agents.

The First Lien Facility consists of a $1.325 billion first lien term loan facility, maturing in September 2018 (the “First Lien Term Loan”), and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, maturing in September 2016 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Under the Revolving Credit Facility, up to $30.0 million of availability may be drawn in the form of letters of credit and up to $30.0 million is available for swingline borrowings. The Second Lien Facility consists of a $790.0 million second lien term loan facility, maturing in March 2019 (the “Second Lien Term Loan”).

As of September 30, 2011, Cumulus Holdings had borrowings of $1.325 billion under the First Lien Term Loan, $200.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and $790.0 million under the Second Lien Term Loan.

Proceeds from borrowings under the First Lien Facility and Second Lien Facility were used, together with certain other funds, to (i) fund the cash portion of the purchase price paid in the Citadel Acquisition; (ii) repay in full amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility under the Company’s pre-existing credit agreement; (iii) repay all amounts outstanding under the credit facilities of CMP Susquehanna Corp. (“CMPSC”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CMP; (iv) redeem CMPSC’s outstanding 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2014 and variable rate senior secured notes due 2014; (v) redeem in accordance with their terms all outstanding shares of preferred stock of CMP Susquehanna Radio Holdings Corp., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CMP and the direct parent of CMPSC; and (vi) repay all amounts outstanding, including any accrued interest and the premiums thereon, under Citadel’s pre-existing credit agreement and to redeem Citadel’s 7.75% senior notes due 2018.

Borrowings under the First Lien Facility bear interest, at the option of Cumulus Holdings, based on the Base Rate (as defined below) or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), in each case plus 4.5% on LIBOR-based borrowings and 3.5% on Base Rate-based borrowings. LIBOR-based borrowings are subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.25% for the First Lien Term Loan and 1.0% for the Revolving Credit Facility. Base Rate-based borrowings are subject to a Base Rate Floor of 2.25% for the First Lien Term Loan and 2.0% for the Revolving Credit Facility. Base Rate is defined, for any day, as the fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the prime commercial lending rate of JPMorgan, as established from time to time, and (iii) 30 day LIBOR plus 1.0%. The First Lien Term Loan amortizes at a per annum rate of 1.0% of the original principal amount of the First Lien Term Loan, payable quarterly, commencing March 31, 2012, with the balance payable on the maturity date. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility are due and payable at maturity on September 16, 2016.

Borrowings under the Second Lien Facility bear interest, at the option of Cumulus Holdings, at either the Base Rate plus 5.0%, subject to a Base Rate floor of 2.5%, or LIBOR plus 6.0%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.5%. The Second Lien Term Loan original principal amount is due on the maturity date, September 16, 2019.

Interest on Base Rate-based borrowings is due on the last day of each calendar quarter, except with respect to swingline loans, for which interest is due on the day that such swingline loan is required to be repaid. Interest payments on loans whose interest rate is based upon LIBOR are due at maturity if the term is three months or less or every three months and at maturity if the term exceeds three months.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2011, borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan bore interest at 5.75% per annum, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at 5.50% per annum and borrowings under the Second Lien Term Loan bore interest at 7.50% per annum.

The 2011 Credit Facilities contain customary representations, covenants and events of default for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the 2011 Credit Facilities include, among others, (a) the failure to pay when due the obligations owing under the 2011 Credit Facilities; (b) the failure to perform (and not timely remedy, if applicable) certain covenants; (c) certain cross defaults and cross accelerations; (d) the occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency events; (e) certain judgments against the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries; (f) the loss, revocation or suspension of, or any material impairment in the ability to use of or more of, any material FCC licenses; (g) any representation or warranty made, or report, certificate or financial statement delivered, to the lenders subsequently proven to have been incorrect in any material respect; and (h) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the First Lien Facility and the Second Lien Facility, as applicable). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and exercise any of their rights under the First Lien Facility and the Second Lien Facility, as applicable, and the ancillary loan documents as a secured party.

As a result of amounts being outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2011, the Revolving Credit Facility required compliance with a consolidated total net leverage ratio of 7.75 to 1.0 as of such date (with stepdowns beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2012 if amounts are then outstanding thereunder).

The First Lien Facility also contains customary restrictive non-financial covenants, which, among other things, and with certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; consummate asset sales, acquisitions or mergers; make investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; and pay dividends or repurchase stock.

At September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of the required covenants under the First Lien Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility. The Second Lien Facility does not contain any financial covenants.

Certain mandatory prepayments on the First Lien Term Loan and the Second Lien Term Loan are required upon the occurrence of specified events, including upon the incurrence of certain additional indebtedness, upon the sale of certain assets and upon the occurrence of certain condemnation or casualty events, and from excess cash flow.

The Company’s, Cumulus Holdings’ and their respective restricted subsidiaries’ obligations under the First Lien Facility and the Second Lien Facility are collateralized by a first priority lien and second priority lien, respectively, on substantially all of the Company’s, Cumulus Holdings’ and their respective restricted subsidiaries’ assets in which a security interest may lawfully be granted, including, without limitation, intellectual property and substantially all of the capital stock of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and 66.0% of the capital stock of any future first-tier foreign subsidiaries. In addition, Cumulus Holdings’ obligations under the First Lien Facility and the Second Lien Facility are guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of its restricted subsidiaries, other than Cumulus Holdings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

General

Certain terms used in this “Description of the Notes” are defined under “—Certain definitions” below.

The Original Notes were issued, and the Exchange Notes will be issued, under an Indenture among Cumulus Media, Cumulus Holdings, the other Subsidiary Guarantors named therein, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and as transfer agent, registrar, authentication agent and paying agent. Pursuant to a supplemental indenture, dated as of September 16, 2011, among Cumulus Media, Cumulus Holdings, the other Subsidiary Guarantors named therein and the Trustee, (i) Cumulus Holdings assumed all of the obligations of Cumulus Media under the Indenture and the Notes and was substituted therefor as the Issuer, (ii) Cumulus Media was released from its obligations as original issuer of the Notes and (iii) Cumulus Media provided a guarantee of the obligations of Cumulus Holdings under the Indenture and the Notes.

In this “Description of the Notes,” (i) the terms “we,” “our” and “us” each refer to Cumulus Media Inc. and its consolidated Subsidiaries, (ii) the term “Issuer” refers only to Cumulus Media Holdings Inc. and not the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and (iii) the term “Parent” refers only to Cumulus Media Inc. and any other direct or indirect parent entity of Cumulus Media Holdings Inc. In addition, the term “Notes” refers to the U.S. dollar denominated 7.75% senior notes due 2019 issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes (as defined below).

The Notes are treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture. The Notes were issued in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Except as set forth herein, the terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.

The following description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions thereof, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as a Holder of the Notes. You may request copies of the Indenture at our address set forth under “Summary.”

Brief description of the Notes

The Notes are:

 

   

general unsecured senior obligations of the Issuer;

 

   

unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by (i) each Restricted Subsidiary that guarantees the Credit Facilities or any other indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) any Parent;

 

   

senior in right of payment to any future Subordinated Indebtedness;

 

   

pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness (including obligations under the Credit Facilities) of the Issuer;

 

   

effectively subordinated to all Secured Indebtedness of the Issuer (including obligations under the Credit Facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness; and

 

   

structurally subordinated to all Indebtedness and other liabilities, including preferred stock, of our Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.

 

32


Table of Contents

Guarantees

The Guarantors, as primary obligors and not merely as sureties, jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guarantee, on an unsecured senior basis, the performance and full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on or Additional Interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise, on the terms set forth in the Indenture by executing the Indenture.

The Restricted Subsidiaries (other than as detailed below) have guaranteed the Notes. Cumulus Media Inc. has also guaranteed the Notes, but is not restricted by the terms of the Indenture other than with respect to its Guarantee. Each of the Guarantees of the Notes is a general unsecured senior obligation of each Guarantor, senior in right of payment to all future Subordinated Indebtedness of each such entity, pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of each such entity and effectively subordinated to all Secured Indebtedness of each such entity to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness.

Not all of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries guarantee the Notes. As more fully described below under “—Certain covenants—Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries,” the Indenture requires that each of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries (other than License Subsidiaries) that is a domestic Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (and domestic non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such domestic non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or guarantee Obligations under a Credit Facility) and that guarantees the obligations under any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall also be a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Notes. The Indenture also requires that each of the Issuer’s License Subsidiaries that incurs any Indebtedness other than (i) guarantees of Obligations under the Credit Facilities or (ii) any other Indebtedness that, when aggregated with all other Indebtedness incurred by all other License Subsidiaries, exceeds $250,000, shall also be a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Notes. None of the License Subsidiaries are Guarantors as of the date of this prospectus and we do not expect them to incur any Indebtedness that would require them to become Subsidiary Guarantors.

The Notes are structurally subordinated to Indebtedness and other liabilities of our Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these Subsidiaries, they will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they are able to distribute any of their assets to the Issuer.

Any Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent such Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law.

The Indenture provides that each Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into or sell its assets to the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor without limitation, or with other Persons upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. See “—Certain covenants—Merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets.” The Indenture does not limit the ability of any Parent to consolidate with or merge with or into or sell its assets to any other Person, other than as described under “Repurchase at the option of Holders—Change of Control” and the definition of “Change of Control.”

If a Guarantee were rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, a Guarantor’s liability on its Guarantee could be reduced to zero. See “Risk factors—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from guarantors.”

 

33


Table of Contents

Each Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor provides by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

 

  (1) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of (x) the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, after which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, or (y) all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor, which sale, exchange, disposition or transfer in each case does not violate the applicable provisions of the Indenture;

(a) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of its guarantee of obligations under the Acquisition Credit Facility and any such other guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a release or discharge resulting from payment under such guarantee;

(b) the proper designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or

(c) the Issuer exercising its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under “—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” or the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and

 

  (2) such Subsidiary Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Ranking

The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and the payment of any Guarantee will rank pari passu in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, including the obligations of the Issuer and such Guarantor under the Acquisition Credit Facility.

The Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s existing and future Secured Indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness. As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $2.9 billion of Indebtedness, of which approximately 79.1% was Secured Indebtedness, and we had unused commitments to fund Secured Indebtedness of $100.0 million under the Credit Facilities.

Although the Indenture contains limitations on the amount of additional Indebtedness that the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors may incur, under certain circumstances the amount of such Indebtedness could be material and, in any case, such Indebtedness may be senior indebtedness. See “—Certain covenants—Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.”

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes (including our License Subsidiaries and any Unrestricted Subsidiaries) did not contribute any amounts to our net revenues, but represented (2.2)% of our operating income and (1.8)% of our Adjusted EBITDA, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, our Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes (including our License Subsidiaries and any Unrestricted Subsidiaries) represented 39.9% of our total assets and 12.2% of our total liabilities, respectively, including debt and trade payables but excluding intercompany liabilities.

Paying Agent and registrar for the Notes

The paying agent for the Notes is the Trustee (the “Paying Agent”). The Issuer also maintains one or more registrars and transfer agents (each, a “registrar”). The registrar and transfer agent is the Trustee. The registrar and the transfer agent maintain a register reflecting ownership of the Notes outstanding from time to time and will make payments on and facilitate transfers of Notes on behalf of the Issuer.

 

34


Table of Contents

The Issuer may change the Paying Agent, registrar and transfer agent without prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as a Paying Agent, registrar or transfer agent.

Transfer and exchange

A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of Notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer, an Asset Sale Offer or other tender offer. Also, the Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before the delivery of a notice of redemption.

Principal, maturity and interest

On May 13, 2011, $610.0 million of aggregate principal amount of Original Notes were issued, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes will mature on May 1, 2019. Subject to compliance with the covenant described below under “—Certain covenants—Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock,” the Issuer may issue additional Notes from time to time after this offering under the Indenture (“Additional Notes”). The Notes and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Unless otherwise provided or the context requires otherwise, references to Notes for all purposes of the Indenture and this “Description of the Notes” include any Additional Notes that are actually issued.

Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 7.75% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, to holders of record on the immediately preceding April 15 and October 15. Interest on the Notes accrues from the most recent date on which interest has been paid. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof.

Mandatory redemption; offers to purchase; open market purchases

The Issuer is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase Notes as described under “—Repurchase at the option of Holders.” We and our Affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Optional redemption

Except as set forth below, the Issuer is not entitled to redeem Notes at its option prior to May 1, 2015. At any time prior to May 1, 2015, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes on one or more occasions, upon notice as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

On and after May 1, 2015, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes on one or more occasions, upon notice as described below, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Additional Interest, if any, to, but

In addition, at any time prior to May 1, 2014, the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture on one or more occasions, upon notice as described below, at a redemption price equal to 107.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Additional Interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that (a) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption and (b) each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering.

If the Issuer is redeeming less than all of the Notes issued by it at any time, the Trustee or the registrar will select the Notes to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, (b) on a pro rata basis (to the extent practicable) or (c) by lot or such other similar method in accordance with the procedures of DTC. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, and the unredeemed portion of the Notes of any Holder must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Notices of redemption shall be delivered upon no less than 10 days’ notice to the Trustee and at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of record of Notes at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of DTC, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, any notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be redeemed.

In the case of certificated Notes, the Issuer will issue a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note, as applicable. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption, provided that notices of redemption may be subject to one or more conditions precedent as set forth below. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

For Notes that are represented by global certificates held on behalf of DTC, notices to the Holders may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to DTC for communication to entitled account holders in substitution of the aforementioned delivery.

Any redemption or notice of any redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering, other offering, Change of Control Offer, Asset Sale Offer or other corporate transaction or event and may be given prior to the completion thereof.

Repurchase at the option of Holders

Change of Control

The Notes provide that if a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under “—Optional

redemption,” the Issuer will make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will deliver notice of such Change of Control Offer, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder in accordance with the procedures of DTC describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture) specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. If such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, such notice shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase by the Issuer of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent permitted by law,

(1) accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

(3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer.

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder the Change of Control Payment for any such Notes properly tendered, and the Trustee will cause to be transferred by book entry (or promptly authenticate and deliver in the case of certificated Notes) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Acquisition Credit Facility prohibits, and future credit or other agreements to which the Issuer becomes a party may prohibit or limit, the Issuer from purchasing any Notes as a result of a Change of Control. In the event that a Change of Control occurs at a time when the Issuer is prohibited from purchasing the Notes, the Issuer could seek the consent of its lenders to permit the purchase of the Notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuer does not obtain such consent or repay such borrowings, it will remain prohibited from purchasing the Notes. In such case, the Issuer’s failure to purchase tendered Notes after any applicable notice and lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.

The Acquisition Credit Facility provides, and future credit or other agreements to which the Issuer becomes a party may provide, that certain change of control events (including a Change of Control under the Indenture) would constitute a default thereunder. If a change of control triggers a default under the Acquisition Credit Facility, the Issuer could seek a waiver of such default or seek to refinance the Acquisition Credit Facility. In the event it does not obtain such a waiver or refinance the Acquisition Credit Facility, such default could result in amounts outstanding under the Acquisition Credit Facility being declared due and payable.

Table of Contents

Our ability to pay cash to the Holders following the occurrence of a Change of Control may be limited by our then-existing financial resources. Therefore, sufficient funds may not be available when necessary to make any required repurchases. See “Risk Factors—There are important considerations in connection with a potential change of control, including that Cumulus Holdings may not be able to repurchase the Notes upon such a change of control.”

The Change of Control purchase feature of the Notes may in certain circumstances make more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of us and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. Subject to the limitations discussed below, we could enter into certain transactions that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings. Restrictions on our ability to incur additional Indebtedness are contained in the covenants described under “—Certain covenants—Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” and “—Certain covenants—Liens.” Such restrictions in the Indenture can be waived only with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Except for the limitations contained in such covenants, however, the Indenture does not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford Holders protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction. The provisions under the Indenture relating to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by us and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

The definition of “Change of Control” includes a disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Parent or the Issuer and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person other than to a Guarantor. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of “all or substantially all” of the assets of the applicable Person. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a Change of Control has occurred and whether a Holder may require the Issuer to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as described above.

Asset Sales

The Indenture provides that the Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless:

(1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in Good Faith by the Issuer) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(a) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on such balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in

Good Faith by the Issuer) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Issuer and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing;

(b) any securities or other obligations received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and

(c) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (i) $50.0 million and (ii) 2.0% of Total Assets at the time of receipt of the Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.

Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,

(1) to reduce or repay:

(a) Obligations under Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is secured by a Lien, which Lien is permitted by the Indenture, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(b) Obligations under other Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that, to the extent the Issuer reduces Obligations under such Indebtedness, the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under “—Optional redemption,” through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid; or

(c) Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); or

(2) to make (a) an Investment in the Capital Stock of any business that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged with or into the Issuer or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction, (b) capital expenditures or (c) acquisitions of properties or other assets (other than working capital assets), which in the case of each of (a), (b) and (c) are used or useful in a Similar Business or replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; provided that, in the case of each of (a), (b) and (c), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds under this clause (2) from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination; provided, further, that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

Table of Contents

In addition, the Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to the Net Proceeds (or such lesser amount that the Issuer determines) from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the application period.

Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within twenty Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed the threshold set forth above by delivering the notice required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purposes not in violation of other covenants contained in the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Issuer or agent for such Pari Passu Indebtedness shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (and, in the case of the Notes, otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC) based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered, in each case certified to the Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this covenant, the Issuer may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise use such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by the Indenture.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase by the Issuer of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.

The Acquisition Credit Facility prohibits, and future credit or other agreements to which the Issuer becomes a party may prohibit or limit, the Issuer from purchasing any Notes pursuant to this Asset Sale covenant. In the event that the Issuer is prohibited from purchasing the Notes, it could seek the consent of its lenders to permit the purchase of the Notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuer does not obtain such consent or repay such borrowings, it will remain prohibited from purchasing the Notes. In such case, the Issuer’s failure to purchase tendered Notes after any applicable notice and lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.

Certain covenants

Set forth below are summaries of certain covenants that are contained in the Indenture.

Suspension of covenants

Following the first day:

(a) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies; and

 

40


Table of Contents

(b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture;

the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the provisions of the Indenture summarized under the following headings (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”):

 

 

“—Repurchase at the option of Holders—Asset Sales,”

 

 

“—Limitation on Restricted Payments,”

 

 

“—Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock,”

 

 

clause (4) of the first paragraph of “—Merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets,”

 

 

“—Transactions with Affiliates,”

 

 

“—Dividend and other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries,” and

 

 

“—Limitation on guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries,” but not with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is guaranteeing the Notes at the time the Suspension Period (as defined below) commences and provided that such covenant shall apply to any Restricted Subsidiary that is Guaranteeing Indebtedness upon any Reinstatement Date (as defined below).

If at any time the Notes’ credit rating is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency or if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of the Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of the Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating and no Default or Event of Default is in existence). The period of time between the date of suspension of the covenants and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”

On the Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified by the Issuer to have been incurred pursuant to clause (3) of the second paragraph of “—Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock,” provided that all Indebtedness outstanding on the Reinstatement Date under any Credit Facility shall be deemed Incurred under clause (1) of the second paragraph of “—Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” (up to the maximum amount of such Indebtedness permitted by such clause and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reinstatement Date).

On the Reinstatement Date, all Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been made pursuant to the first paragraph of “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” or, at the Issuer’s option, any of the clauses of the second paragraph thereof or of the definition of “Permitted Investments.” Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” or, if applicable, such clauses.

No Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (or upon termination thereof or thereafter based solely upon events that occurred during the Suspension Period, including, any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reinstatement Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period).

 

41


Table of Contents

During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, the board of directors of the Issuer may not designate any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the Indenture.

There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever achieve or maintain an Investment Grade Rating.

The Issuer shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee indicating the occurrence of any Suspension Period or Reinstatement Date. The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Issuer’s future compliance with its covenants or (iii) notify the Holders of any covenant suspension or Reinstatement Date.

Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries

Not all of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries are Restricted Subsidiaries. In addition, the FCC divesture trusts formed in connection with the Acquisition (the “Divestiture Trusts”) are treated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries under the Indenture. Upon the disposition of any of the assets of or shares of Capital Stock of, or Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary by, any such Divestiture Trust, the proceeds of such disposition shall be paid to the Issuer or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the penultimate sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid in connection with such designation) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Investments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time, whether pursuant to the covenant described below under “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments,” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in the Indenture.

Limitation on Restricted Payments

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(I) declare or pay any dividend or make any payment or distribution on account of the Issuer’s, or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’, Equity Interests, including any dividend or distribution payable in connection with any merger or consolidation, other than:

(a) dividends or distributions by the Issuer payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer; or

(b) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary (and if such Restricted Subsidiary is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, to its other holders of common stock on a pro rata basis) so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of securities;

(II) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Parent, including in connection with any merger or consolidation;

(III) make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case, prior to any scheduled repayment, sinking fund payment or maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness, other than:

(a) Indebtedness permitted under clauses (7) and (8) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”; or

 

42


Table of Contents

(b) the purchase, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness acquired in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase or acquisition; or

(IV) make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (I) through (IV) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of such Restricted Payment:

(1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, (i) the Issuer could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under the provisions of the first paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” and (ii) the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would have had a Leverage Ratio of less than 5.0 to 1.0 for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding such transaction; provided that clause (ii) will not apply to any Restricted Payments used to fund the payment of dividends on the Macquarie Preferred Stock (and any preferred stock used to refinance any such preferred stock to the extent the dividends per annum on such refinancing preferred stock do not exceed the dividends per annum on the Macquarie Preferred Stock at the time it was refinanced); and

(3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (1) and (10) of the next succeeding paragraph, but excluding all other Restricted Payments permitted by the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum of (without duplication):

(a) 100% of EBITDA of the Issuer for the period (taken as one accounting period) commencing April 1, 2011 to the end of the Issuer’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, in the case that EBITDA for such period is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) less 1.4 times Fixed Charges for the same period; plus

(b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the fair market value, as determined in Good Faith by the Issuer, of marketable securities or other property received by the Issuer since immediately after the Issue Date from:

 

  (i) (A) the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Issuer, but excluding cash proceeds and the fair market value, as determined in Good Faith by the Issuer, of marketable securities or other property received from the sale of: (x) Equity Interests to employees, members of the board of managers or directors or consultants of the Issuer, any Parent and the Issuer’s Subsidiaries after the Issue Date to the extent such amounts have been applied to Restricted Payments made in accordance with clause (4)(a) of the next succeeding paragraph and (y) Designated Preferred Stock; and

 

  (B) capital contributions from any Parent (excluding contributions of the proceeds from the sale of Designated Preferred Stock of a Parent or contributions to the extent such amounts have been applied to Restricted Payments made in accordance with clause (4) of the next succeeding paragraph); or

 

  (ii) the issue or sale of debt securities of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than debt securities held by any of its Subsidiaries) that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Parent;

provided, however, that this clause (b) shall not include the proceeds from (W) Refunding Capital Stock (as defined below), (X) Equity Interests or convertible debt securities of the Issuer sold to a Restricted Subsidiary and (Y) Disqualified Stock or debt securities that have been converted into Disqualified Stock; plus

 

43


Table of Contents

(c) 100% of the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value, as determined in Good Faith by the Issuer, of marketable securities or other property received by the Issuer by means of:

 

  (i) the sale or other disposition (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) of Restricted Investments made by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries and repurchases and redemptions of such Restricted Investments from the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries and repayments of loans or advances, and releases of guarantees, which constitute Restricted Investments by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case after the Issue Date; or

 

  (ii) the sale or other disposition (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a dividend or other distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than in each case to the extent of the amount of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary made by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clause (8) of the next succeeding paragraph or to the extent of the amount of the Investment that constituted a Permitted Investment), in each case after the Issue Date;

without duplication of any amount included in EBITDA; plus

(d) in the case of the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or the merger or consolidation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary into the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, the fair market value of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary (or the assets transferred), as determined in Good Faith by the Issuer or, if such fair market value exceeds $50.0 million, in writing by an Independent Financial Advisor, at the time of the designation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of such merger or consolidation or transfer of assets (after taking into consideration any Indebtedness associated with the Unrestricted Subsidiary so designated or merged or consolidated or Indebtedness associated with the assets so transferred), other than to the extent of the amount of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary made by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clause (8) of the next succeeding paragraph or to the extent of the amount of the Investment that constituted a Permitted Investment.

The foregoing provisions do not prohibit:

(1) the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture or the redemption, repurchase or retirement of Indebtedness if, at the date of any irrevocable redemption notice such payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture;

(2) (a) the purchase, redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of any Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Equity Interests of any Parent, in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the substantially concurrent sale or issuance (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer or to an employee stock ownership plan or any trust established by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries) of, Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Parent to the extent contributed to the Issuer (in each case, other than any Disqualified Stock) (“Refunding Capital Stock”), (b) the declaration and payment of dividends on Equity Interests of the Issuer out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale or issuance (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer or to an employee stock ownership plan or any trust established by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries) of Refunding Capital Stock, and (c) if immediately prior to the retirement of Preferred Stock, the declaration and payment of dividends thereon was permitted under clause (6) of this paragraph, the declaration and payment of dividends on the Refunding Capital Stock (other than Refunding Capital Stock the proceeds of which were used to purchase, redeem, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire any Equity Interests of any Parent) in an aggregate amount per year no greater than the aggregate amount of dividends per annum that were declarable and payable on such Preferred Stock immediately prior to such retirement;

(3) the purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that at the time a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment (or any portion thereof) is made such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in clauses (1) through (14) above or Investments described in the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will classify (and will be entitled to divide and classify) such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment (or any portion thereof).

Limitation on incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”) with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), and the Issuer will not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Issuer may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and issue shares of Disqualified Stock, and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), issue shares of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock, if the Leverage Ratio on a consolidated basis for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been less than 6.5 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period; provided, further, that Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries may not incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock if, after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or issuance (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), more than an aggregate of $100.0 million of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries would be outstanding pursuant to this paragraph at such time.

The foregoing limitations do not apply to:

(1) the incurrence of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities by the Issuer or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof), up to an aggregate principal amount (excluding the amount of any Hedging Obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business) of $2,525.0 million outstanding at any one time, less the aggregate principal amount of all principal repayments of Credit Facilities with the proceeds from Asset Sales made pursuant to clause (1)(a) or (b) of the second paragraph of “—Repurchase at the option of Holders—Asset Sales” in satisfaction of the requirements of such covenant;

(a) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (6)(a)); and

(b) with respect to a disposition, the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including non-cash proceeds (the fair market value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

accordance with the terms of the Indenture, in each such case specifically excluding Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock assumed as a consequence of consummating either Acquisition; provided that after giving effect to such acquisition, merger or consolidation, either (a) the Issuer would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of this covenant or (b) the Leverage Ratio of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is no greater than immediately prior to such acquisition, merger or consolidation;

(16) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries supported by a letter of credit issued pursuant to the Acquisition Credit Facility, in a principal amount not in excess of the stated amount of such letter of credit;

(17)(a) any guarantee by the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness or other obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness is permitted under the terms of the Indenture; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, any such guarantee of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantors’ Guarantee with respect to the Notes substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable;

(b) any guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness of the Issuer so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness is permitted under the terms of the Indenture and such guarantee is incurred in accordance with the covenant described below under “—Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries”; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, any such guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantors’ Guarantee with respect to the Notes substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes, as applicable; or

(c) any guarantee by a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary of Indebtedness of another Non- Guarantor Subsidiary incurred in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;

(18) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consisting of the financing of insurance premiums; and

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (1) through (19) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify (and will be entitled to divide an item of Indebtedness into more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in the first and second paragraphs above, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph) such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof). Additionally, all or any portion of any item of Indebtedness may later be reclassified and redivided as having been incurred pursuant to any category of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (19) above or

 

50


Table of Contents

pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant so long as such Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred pursuant to such provision at the time of reclassification and redivision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Indebtedness outstanding under the Acquisition Credit Facility on the date of consummation of the Citadel Transaction, and all Indebtedness (or the portion thereof) incurred under clause (1) of the preceding paragraph to repay, refund or refinance any such amounts, shall be treated as incurred under clause (1) of the preceding paragraph and may not later be reclassified.

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this covenant.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of, any particular Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this covenant, any other obligation of the obligor on such Indebtedness (or of any other Person that could have incurred such Indebtedness under this covenant) arising under any Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded to the extent that such Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers’ acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation secures the principal amount of such Indebtedness.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

The Indenture provides that the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

The Indenture does not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) senior indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other senior indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral or is secured by different collateral.

Liens

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) (each, an “Initial Lien”) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, unless:

(1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such assets or property, or income or profits therefrom, that is senior in priority to such Liens; or

(2) in all other cases, the Notes or the Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such asset or property, or income or profits therefrom, that is pari passu with or senior in priority to such Liens,

except that the foregoing shall not apply to Liens securing the Notes and the related Guarantees.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien that gave rise to the obligation to so secure the Notes.

Merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets

The Issuer may not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(1) the Issuer is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Issuer or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof (the Issuer or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”); provided that in the case where the Successor Company is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation;

(2) the Successor Company, if other than the Issuer, expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and assumes by written agreement all of the obligations of the Issuer under the Registration Rights Agreement (if the Issuer’s registration obligations thereunder have not yet been completed);

(5) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, in which case clause 1(a) of the second succeeding paragraph shall apply, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under the Indenture, the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement (if such Guarantor’s registration obligations thereunder have not yet been completed); and

(b) the Successor Person, if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and assumes by written agreement all of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Registration Rights Agreement (if such Subsidiary Guarantor’s registration obligations thereunder have not yet been completed);

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Restricted Subsidiary may liquidate or dissolve if the board of directors of the Issuer determines in good faith that such liquidation or dissolution is in the best interests of the Issuer and is not materially disadvantageous to the Holders.

Table of Contents

For purposes of this covenant, the sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Issuer, which properties and assets, if held by the Issuer instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer.

The predecessor company will be released from its obligations under the Indenture or its Guarantee, as the case may be, and the Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under the Indenture or the Guarantor under its Guarantee, respectively, but, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets, the predecessor will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes or its obligations under the Guarantee, as the case may be.

Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve “all or substantially all” of the property or assets of a Person and, as a result, whether this covenant applies to such transaction.

Transactions with Affiliates

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and

(2) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration (a) in excess of $15.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) above and (b) in excess of $50.0 million, a written opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such Affiliate Transaction is fair to the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, from a financial point of view or complies with clause (1) above.

The foregoing provisions will not apply to the following:

(1) transactions between or among the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) Restricted Payments permitted by the provisions of the Indenture described above under the covenant “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” and Permitted Investments (other than pursuant to clause (3) or (12) thereof);

(3) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and compensation paid to, and indemnities and reimbursements provided for the benefit of, former, current or future officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Issuer, any Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as determined in Good Faith by the Issuer;

(4) any agreement or arrangement as in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not materially disadvantageous to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Issue Date);

(5) the Refinancing Transactions and the Acquisitions and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Refinancing Transactions and the Acquisitions or any of the transactions contemplated in connection therewith;

Table of Contents

(6) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise not in violation of the terms of the Indenture which are fair to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the board of directors or the senior management of the Issuer, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(7) to the extent not otherwise prohibited under the Indenture, the issuance or transfer of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Issuer and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith or any contribution to the capital of any Parent, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(8) any customary transaction with a Securitization Subsidiary effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Financing;

(9) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants of the Issuer, any Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and employment agreements, stock option plans, restricted stock plans, bonus programs and other similar arrangements with such employees or consultants which, in each case, are approved in Good Faith by the Issuer and in accordance with applicable law; and

(10) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Person.

Dividend and other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to:

(1) (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or (b) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) make loans or advances to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(3) sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except (in each case) for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(a) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Issue Date, including pursuant to the Existing Credit Facility and the related documentation and related Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations;

(b) contractual encumbrances or restrictions contained in the Acquisition Credit Facility and the related documentation and related Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations; provided that such encumbrances and restrictions are not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in Good Faith by the Issuer);

(c) the Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees (including any Exchange Notes and related guarantees);

(d) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (3) above on the property so acquired;

(e) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order;

(g) contracts for the sale of assets, including customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary of the Issuer pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary;

(j) customary provisions in joint venture agreements or arrangements and other similar agreements relating solely to such joint venture; provided that with respect to any joint venture agreement relating to a Restricted Subsidiary, such provisions are not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders than is customary in comparable agreements or arrangements (as determined in Good Faith by the Issuer);

(m) covenants to maintain net worth, total assets or liquidity and similar financial responsibility covenants under contracts with customers or suppliers in the ordinary course of business;

(n) any agreement with respect to Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary permitted under the Indenture so long as such encumbrances and restrictions are only with respect to the properties and revenues of such Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of such Foreign Subsidiary;

(o) any such encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancing of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (a) through (n) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, no more restrictive in any material respect with respect to such encumbrance and other restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing; and

(p) restrictions created in connection with any Qualified Securitization Financing that, in the good faith determination of the Issuer, are necessary or advisable to effect such Securitization Facility.

Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries

The Issuer will not (i) permit any of its domestic Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and domestic non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or guarantee Obligations under a

Credit Facility), other than a Subsidiary Guarantor or a License Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) permit any of its License Subsidiaries, other than a Subsidiary Guarantor, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness except as permitted under “—Limitation on activities of License Subsidiaries,” in each case unless:

(1) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture and joinder or supplement to the Registration Rights Agreement (if such Restricted Subsidiary’s registration obligations thereunder have not yet been completed) providing for a senior Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee;

(2) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee until payment in full of Obligations under the Indenture; and

(3) such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

(a) such Guarantee has been duly executed and authorized; and

(b) such Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity;

provided that this covenant shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.

The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall only be required to comply with clauses (1) and (2) above.

Future Parents

Cumulus Media Inc. and each Parent that is a subsidiary of Cumulus Media Inc. shall, within 30 days after such Parent becomes such a Parent shall:

(1) execute and deliver a supplemental indenture and joinder or supplement to the Registration Rights Agreement providing for a senior Guarantee by such Parent;

(2) waive and not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Parent under its Guarantee until payment in full of Obligations under the Indenture; and

(3) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

(a) such Guarantee has been duly executed and authorized; and

(b) such Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Parent, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity.

Limitation on activities of License Subsidiaries

If at any time a License Subsidiary does not Guarantee the Notes, such License Subsidiary shall not (i) incur any Indebtedness other than (x) guarantees of Obligations under the Acquisition Credit Facility and (y) other Indebtedness not to exceed, when aggregated with all other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (y) by all other License Subsidiaries, $250,000 or (ii) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens upon any of its assets or property, income or profits therefrom, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

Reports and other information

Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Indenture requires the Issuer to file with the SEC within 15 days after the dates set forth below:

(1) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, all financial information that would be required to be contained in an annual report on Form 10-K, or any successor or comparable form, filed with the SEC, including a “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” and a report on the annual financial statements by the Issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm;

(2) within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, all financial information that would be required to be contained in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or any successor or comparable form, filed with the SEC; and

(3) within the applicable number of days specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K, or any successor or comparable form, if the Issuer were required to filed with the SEC;

in each case, in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements specified in such form.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, so long as, at the Issuer’s expense and by the applicable date the Issuer would be required to file such information pursuant to this covenant, the Issuer posts copies of such information required by the immediately preceding paragraph on a website (which may be nonpublic and may be maintained by the Issuer or a third party) to which access will be given to the Trustee, Holders, prospective investors in the Notes (which prospective investors shall be limited to “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act or non-U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) that certify their status as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer), and securities analysts and market making financial institutions that are reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether or not such information has been posted and if the information in clause (3) has been posted to a website not maintained by the SEC, then the Issuer shall provide prompt notice of such posting to the Trustee.

To the extent any such information is not so filed or posted, as applicable, within the time periods specified above and such information is subsequently filed or posted, as applicable, the Issuer will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured; provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the Holders under “—Events of default and remedies” if Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes have declared the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately and such declaration shall not have been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure.

 

58


Table of Contents

In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, the Issuer will agree that, for so long as any Notes are outstanding, it will furnish to Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

The Issuer shall hold quarterly conference calls that are publicly accessible promptly after the Issuer’s earnings for the prior fiscal period have been made available. No fewer than three Business Days prior to the date of each such conference call, the Issuer shall issue a press release to an appropriate U.S. wire service announcing the time and the date of such conference call and directing the beneficial owners of, and prospective investors in, the Notes and securities analysts how to access such conference call. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether or not such conference calls have been held.

The Issuer will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this covenant if Parent files and provides reports, documents and information of the types otherwise so required, in each case within the applicable time periods, and the Issuer is not required to file such reports, documents and information separately under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (after giving effect to any exemptive relief) because of the filings by such Parent; provided that such financial statements are accompanied by consolidating financial information for such Parent, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries in the manner prescribed by the SEC to the extent such financial information would be required by the SEC.

If (i) any Parent that is a Guarantor has assets or operations independent of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries that, individually or collectively, would, if contained within a Subsidiary, constitute a Significant Subsidiary or (ii) the Issuer has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, either individually or collectively would otherwise have been a Significant Subsidiary then the annual and quarterly financial information required under this section shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, as determined in good faith by Senior Management of the Issuer, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes to the financial statements and in the “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” section, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of such Parent or such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement by the filing with the SEC of any registration statement or other filing, and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the Securities Act.

Payments for consent

Neither the Issuer nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders that (a) are “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act (and who, upon request, confirm that they are “qualified institutional buyers”) and (b) consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or amendment.

Events of default and remedies

The Indenture provides that each of the following is an Event of Default:

(1) default in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;

(2) default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest or Additional Interest on or with respect to the Notes;

 

59


Table of Contents

(3) failure by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with its obligations under “—Merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets”;

(4) failure by the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors to comply for 30 days with any of their obligations under the covenants described under “—Repurchase at the option of Holders” above (in each case, other than a failure to purchase Notes which constitutes an Event of Default under clause (1) or (2) above);

(5) failure by the Issuer or any Guarantor for 60 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes to comply with any of its other obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or the Notes;

(6) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if both:

(a) (i) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or (ii) relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and

(b) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, is in excess of $50.0 million in the aggregate;

(7) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal period end provided as required under “—Reports and other information”) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), to pay final judgments by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $50.0 million other than any judgments covered by indemnities provided by, or insurance policies issued by, reputable and creditworthy companies, which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final;

(8) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal period end provided as required under “—Reports and other information”) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary); or

(9) the Guarantee of any Parent that is required to Guarantee the Notes or of any Significant Subsidiary (or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal period end provided as required under “—Reports and other information”) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Parent that is required to Guarantee the Notes or of any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the responsible officers of any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal period end provided as required under “—Reports and other information”) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), as the case may be, denies that it has any further liability under its or their Guarantee(s) or gives notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of the Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with the Indenture.

If any Event of Default (other than of a type specified in clause (8) above) occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes

 

60


Table of Contents

may by written notice to the Issuer declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such notice, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer arising under clause (8) of the first paragraph of this section, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice.

The Indenture provides that the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. In addition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if in the judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the interest of the Holders, subject to the second succeeding paragraph below.

The Indenture provides that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture (except a continuing Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder other than the non-payment of interest or premium, if any, on the principal of such Note that became due solely because of the acceleration of such Note) and rescind any acceleration and its consequences with respect to the Notes; provided that such rescission would not conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (6) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose:

(1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or

(2) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or

(3) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee thereunder, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) Holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Subject to certain restrictions, under the Indenture the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

 

61


Table of Contents

The Indenture provides that the Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required, within 15 Business Days after becoming aware of any Default that has occurred and is continuing, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default.

No personal liability of directors, officers, employees, incorporators and stockholders

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Parent shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under the Indenture terminate and will be released upon payment in full of all of the Notes. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the Notes and have each Guarantor’s obligation discharged with respect to its Guarantee (“Legal Defeasance”) and cure all then existing Events of Default except for:

(1) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to the Indenture;

(2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and those of each Subsidiary Guarantor released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”), and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events pertaining to the Issuer) described under “—Certain covenants—Events of default and remedies” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. The Issuer may exercise Legal Defeasance notwithstanding its prior exercise of Covenant Defeasance. If the Issuer exercises its Legal Defeasance option, each Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Guarantee.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes:

(1) the Issuer shall have irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or as specified by the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes, and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the exchange of unregistered Original Notes for registered Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the ownership and disposition of the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer. It is not a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating to the Exchange Offer or the Exchange Notes. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, administrative rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, perhaps with retroactive effect, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences materially and adversely different from those set forth below.

This summary is limited to beneficial owners of Original Notes that have held the Original Notes and will hold the Exchange Notes as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This summary does not address the tax considerations arising under other federal tax laws (such as estate and gift tax laws, other than the 3.8% Medicare tax discussed below) or the laws of any foreign, state or local jurisdiction. In addition, this discussion does not address all tax considerations that may be applicable to holders’ particular circumstances or to holders that may be subject to special tax rules under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as, for example:

 

   

holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

   

banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions;

 

   

real estate investment trusts and regulated investment companies;

 

   

tax-exempt organizations;

 

   

brokers and dealers in securities or currencies;

 

   

persons who have ceased to be citizens or residents of the United States;

 

   

traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of tax accounting for their securities holdings;

 

   

U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar or who hold Original Notes through a foreign entity or foreign account;

 

   

persons that will hold the Notes as a position in a hedging transaction, straddle, conversion transaction or other risk reduction transaction;

 

   

persons deemed to sell the Notes under the constructive sale provisions of the Code; or

 

   

partnerships (or other entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or other pass-through entities, or investors in such entities.

This summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations is for general information only and is not tax advice. This summary is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). We have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made in this summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a position contrary to these statements or that a contrary position taken by the IRS would not be sustained by a court. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax considerations arising under other U.S. federal tax laws, the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction or any applicable income tax treaty.

Tax consequences of the Exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes

The exchange of an Original Note for an Exchange Note pursuant to the Exchange Offer will not constitute a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Consequently, a holder will not recognize any gain or loss upon the receipt of an Exchange Note pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The holding period for an Exchange

 

90


Table of Contents

Note will include the holding period of the Original Note exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and the initial tax basis in an Exchange Note will be the same as the adjusted tax basis in the Original Note as of the time of the Exchange. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of an Exchange Note received pursuant to the Exchange Offer generally will be the same as the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of an Original Note.

Certain additional payments

It is possible that the IRS could assert that the additional interest which we would have been obligated to pay if the Exchange Offer registration statement were not filed or declared effective within the applicable time periods was a contingent payment for purposes of the original issue discount (“OID”) rules. It is also possible that the IRS could assert that the payment by us of 101% of the face amount of any Note purchased by us at the holder’s election after a change of control, as described above under the heading “Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the option of Holders—Change of Control” is a contingent payment for purposes of the OID rules. If any such payment is treated as a contingent payment, the Exchange Notes may be treated as contingent payment debt instruments, in which case the timing and amount of income inclusions and the character of income recognized may be different from the consequences described herein. The Treasury regulations regarding debt instruments that provide for one or more contingent payments state that, for purposes of determining whether a debt instrument is a contingent payment debt instrument, remote or incidental contingencies are ignored. We intend to treat the possibility of our making any of the above payments as remote or to treat such payments as incidental. Accordingly, we do not intend to treat the Exchange Notes as contingent payment debt instruments. Our treatment will be binding on all holders, except a holder that discloses its differing treatment in a statement attached to its timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year during which the Note was acquired. However, our treatment is not binding on the IRS. If the IRS were to challenge our treatment, a holder might be required to accrue income on the Exchange Notes in excess of stated interest and to treat as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, any gain recognized on the disposition of the Exchange Notes before the resolution of the contingencies. In any event, if we actually make any such payment, the timing, amount and character of a holder’s income, gain or loss with respect to the Exchange Notes may be affected. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Exchange Notes will not be contingent payment debt instruments. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application to the Exchange Notes of the rules regarding contingent payment debt instruments and the consequences thereof.

Consequences to U.S. Holders

This subsection describes the U.S. federal income tax considerations for a U.S. Holder. A “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, a state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

   

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

   

a trust that (1) is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States, if one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Notes, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or if you are a partner in such a partnership), you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of holding the Notes to you.

Payments of stated interest

You will generally be required to include stated interest in income as ordinary income at the time the interest is received or accrued, according to your method of tax accounting.

Amortizable bond premium

If a U.S. Holder purchased Original Notes after their original issuance date for an amount that is greater than the sum of all remaining payments on the Notes other than stated interest, such Holder will be treated as having purchased the Notes with “amortizable bond premium” in an amount equal to such excess. Amortizable bond premium on Original Notes should carry over to the Exchange Notes received in exchange therefor. A U.S. Holder may elect to amortize this premium using a constant yield method over the term of the Notes and generally may offset interest in respect of the Note otherwise required to be included in income by the amortized amount of the premium for the taxable year. A U.S. Holder that elects to amortize bond premium must reduce its tax basis in its Note by the amount of the premium amortized in any taxable year. An election to amortize bond premium is binding once made and applies to all Notes held by the U.S. Holder at the beginning of the first taxable year to which this election applies and to all bonds thereafter acquired. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the computation and amortization of any bond premium on their Exchange Notes.

Market discount

If a U.S. Holder purchased Original Notes after their original issuance date for an amount that is less than their stated principal amount, such Holder will be treated as having purchased the Notes with “market discount” unless the discount is less than a specified de minimis amount. Market discount on Original Notes should carry over to the Exchange Notes received in exchange therefor. Under the market discount rules, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to treat any gain realized on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of an Exchange Note as ordinary income to the extent of any accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income. For this purpose, market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of the U.S. Holder’s acquisition of the Note to the maturity date of the Note, unless the U.S. Holder made an election to accrue market discount on a constant yield basis. Accrued market discount on Original Notes that has not previously been included in income by a U.S. Holder should carry over to the Exchange Notes received in exchange therefor. A U.S. Holder may be required to defer the deduction of all or a portion of the interest paid or accrued on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry a Note with market discount until the maturity date or certain earlier dispositions. A U.S. Holder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues on either a ratable or a constant yield basis, in which case the rules described above regarding (1) the treatment as ordinary income of gain upon the disposition of the Note and (2) the deferral of interest deductions will not apply. Currently included market discount is generally treated as ordinary interest income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. An election to include market discount in income as it accrues will apply to all debt instruments with market discount acquired by the U.S. Holder on or after the first day of the taxable year to which the election applies and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors before making this election.

Sale or other taxable disposition of the Exchange Notes

Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of an Exchange Note (including a retirement or redemption), you generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such disposition (except to the extent any amount realized is attributable to accrued but unpaid stated interest, which, if not previously taxed, will be taxable as ordinary income) and your adjusted tax basis in the Exchange Note. Your adjusted tax basis in an Exchange Note generally will be your cost for the Original Note as of the date of the exchange.

Subject to the market discount rules described above under the heading “—Market Discount,” any gain or loss you recognize generally will be treated as a capital gain or loss. The capital gain or loss generally will be

Table of Contents

long-term if your holding period is more than one year at the time of sale or other taxable disposition and will be short-term if your holding period is one year or less. Long-term capital gains of individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers are generally eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Medicare tax

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, a 3.8% tax will be imposed on the net investment income of certain individuals with a modified adjusted gross income of over $200,000 ($250,000 in the case of joint filers) and on the undistributed net investment income of certain estates and trusts. For these purposes, “net investment income” will generally include interest paid with respect to an Exchange Note and net gain from the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of an Exchange Note, unless such interest or net gain is derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of the Exchange Notes.

Information reporting and backup withholding

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to certain payments of interest and to the proceeds of a sale or other disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of Exchange Notes unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding of tax (at a current rate of 28%, which is scheduled to increase to 31% in 2013) will apply to such amounts if a U.S. Holder fails to provide its taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status or if it has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will generally be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided that such holder furnishes the required information to the IRS on a timely basis.

Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

As used in this prospectus, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note that is, for federal income tax purposes, an individual, corporation, estate, or trust, and is not a U.S. Holder.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes is a holder of a Note, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such a partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in such a partnership are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to them of acquiring, holding or disposing of Exchange Notes.

Payments of interest

Subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax on interest paid on the Exchange Notes so long as that interest is not effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the United States, provided that:

 

   

you do not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock that are entitled to vote;

 

   

you are not a controlled foreign corporation that is actually or constructively related to us through stock ownership;

 

   

you are not a bank whose receipt of interest on a Note is described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and

 

93


Table of Contents
   

you provide the applicable withholding agent with, among other things, your name and address, and certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not a U.S. person (which certification may be made on an IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form)).

If you cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest will generally be subject to the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, unless you provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed (1) IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty or (2) IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) stating that interest paid on the Notes is not subject to U.S. federal withholding tax because it is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (as discussed below under “—Interest or Gain Effectively Connected with a United States trade or business”).

Sale or other taxable disposition of the Notes

Subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, a Non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of an Exchange Note (including a retirement or redemption), unless:

 

   

if you are an individual Non-U.S. Holder, you are present in the United States for at least 183 days in the taxable year of such disposition and certain other conditions are met; or

 

   

that gain is effectively connected with the conduct by you of a trade or business within the United States.

If you are described in the first bullet point above, you will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% on the amount by which your capital gains allocable to U.S. sources, including gain from such disposition, exceed any capital losses allocable to U.S. sources, except as otherwise required by an applicable income tax treaty. If you are described in the second bullet point, see “—Interest or gain effectively connected with a United States trade or business,” below.

To the extent that the amount realized on any disposition of Exchange Notes is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest on the Exchange Note, such amount generally will be treated in the same manner as payments of interest as described under the heading “—Payments of interest” above.

Interest or gain effectively connected with a United States trade or business

If a Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest on an Exchange Note or gain recognized from the sale or other taxable disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of an Exchange Note is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business, such holder will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax (but not the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax on interest if you provide an applicable IRS Form W-8ECI, as described above) on that interest or gain on a net income basis in the same manner as if you were a U.S. person as defined under the Code (unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise). In addition, if a Non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a “branch profits tax” equal to 30% (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate) of your earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to adjustments, that are effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States. For this purpose, interest or gain effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States will be included in the earnings and profits of a foreign corporation.

Information reporting and backup withholding

Generally, we must report to the IRS and to a Non-U.S. Holder the amount of interest paid to such Non-U.S. Holder on its Exchange Notes and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments. Copies of the information returns reporting such interest payments and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

 

94


Table of Contents

In general, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to payments of interest that we make to the Non-U.S. Holder provided that we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the Non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person, as defined under the Code, and we have received from the Non-U.S. Holder the statement described above in the last bullet point under “—Payments of interest.”

In addition, no information reporting or backup withholding will be required regarding the proceeds of the sale of an Exchange Note made within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, if the payor receives the statement described above in the last bullet point under “—Payments of interest” and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the Non-U.S. Holder is a U.S. person, as defined under the Code, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Any broker-dealer that holds Original Notes that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Original Notes acquired directly from us) may exchange such Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Any such broker-dealer, however, may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of Exchange Notes received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer. Such prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by the delivery by such broker-dealer of this prospectus.

We have agreed to make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with such resales for up to 90 days from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We will provide sufficient copies of this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, to any broker-dealer promptly upon request at any time during such 90-day period in order to facilitate such resales.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account in the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any of these resales may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from these broker-dealers and/or the purchasers of Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account in the Exchange Offer and any broker-dealer that participates in a distribution of the Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Notes and any commission or concessions received by any such person may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The accompanying letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer, including the expenses of one counsel for the holders of the Original Notes, other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the Original Notes, including any broker-dealers, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

 

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Delaware Registrants

Each of Cumulus Media Inc., Cumulus Media Holdings Inc., Catalyst Media, Inc., Citadel Broadcasting Corporation, CMP Susquehanna Radio Holdings Corp., CMP Susquehanna Corp., CMP KC Corp., Susquehanna Media Co., Alphabet Acquisition Corp., International Radio, Inc., Radio Watermark, Inc., and Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Co. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides, in relevant part, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. Under Section 145(b) of the DGCL, such eligibility for indemnification may be further subject to the adjudication of the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may in its certificate of incorporation contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (pertaining to certain prohibited acts including unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful purchase or redemption of the corporation’s capital stock); or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Cumulus Media’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Cumulus Media Holdings Inc.’s Certificate of Incorporation (as amended) each provide that no director shall be liable to the company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; except (a) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL, (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, or (e) for any act or omission occurring before the effective date of Cumulus Media’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Cumulus Media Holdings Inc.’s Certificate of Incorporation (as amended), as applicable.

Cumulus Media’s Amended and Restated By-laws provide that each director, officer or employee who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or an officer of ours or is or was serving at Cumulus Media’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, shall be indemnified and held harmless by Cumulus Media to the fullest extent permitted or required by the DGCL against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such

indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided below with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, Cumulus Media shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by Cumulus Media’s board.

Cumulus Media generally maintains insurance, at its expense, to protect it and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents or those of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not it would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Cumulus Media Holdings Inc.’s Bylaws permit indemnification of a director or officer if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful and permits maintaining insurance upon a resolution of the board.

The Certificates of Incorporation and Bylaws of CMP KC Corp. and CMP Susquehanna Corp., as well as the Amended and Restated Certificates of Incorporation and Bylaws of CMP Susquehanna Radio Holdings Corp. and Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Co., provide for indemnification to the fullest extent of the DGCL, if the director or officer “acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful” and the director or officer was not found liable to the corporation or on the basis that he received improper personal benefit. The Certificates and Bylaws also permit them to maintain insurance on behalf of directors and officers. The By-laws of Susquehanna Media Co. provide for indemnification to the extent permitted by the DGCL. Alphabet Acquisition Corp. and Catalyst Media, Inc.’s By-laws permit indemnification to the fullest extent of the law and for insurance on behalf of directors and officers. Neither the Certificates of Incorporation nor the By-laws of International Radio, Inc., or Radio Watermark, Inc., contain provisions concerning the indemnification of its directors or officers.

Each of Cumulus Media Partners, LLC, Minneapolis Radio, LLC, KLOS Radio, LLC, San Francisco Radio, LLC, DC Radio, LLC, WPLJ Radio, LLC, Chicago FM Radio Assets, LLC, Radio Networks, LLC, Minneapolis Radio Assets, LLC, KLOS Syndications Assets, LLC, KLOS-FM Radio Assets, LLC, SF License, LLC, San Francisco Radio Assets, LLC, DC Radio Assets, LLC, Network License, LLC, Detroit Radio, LLC, Atlanta Radio, LLC, Radio Assets, LLC, LA Radio, LLC, WBAP-KSCS Radio Acquisition, LLC, WBAP-KSCS Acquisition Partner, LLC, Chicago Radio Holding, LLC, NY Radio, LLC, LA License, LLC, Chicago Radio, LLC, NY License, LLC, NY Radio Assets, LLC, WBAP-KSCS Assets, LLC, Chicago Radio Assets, LLC, and Chicago License, LLC, is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement, a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

The limited liability company agreement of each of the Delaware limited liability companies (with the exception of Cumulus Media Partners, LLC) provides that a member, director or officer may not be held liable to the limited liability company or any other person or entity who has an interest in the limited liability company, and is entitled to indemnification from the limited liability company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission by the member, director or officer made in good faith on behalf of the limited liability company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within his or her scope of authority. However, a member, director or officer may be held liable and is not entitled to indemnification for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of his or her willful misconduct. To the extent an indemnity is provided, such indemnity must be provided out of and limited to the limited liability company’s

assets only, and no member, director or officer may be held personally liable in this respect. Neither the Certificate of Formation nor the Limited Liability Company Declaration for Cumulus Media Partners, LLC contain provisions concerning the indemnification of its directors or officers.

Nevada Registrants

Each of Broadcast Software International Inc., KLIF Broadcasting, Inc., Radio Metroplex, Inc. and Citadel Broadcasting Company is incorporated in Nevada under the Nevada General Corporation Law (“NGCL”). The NGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

The NGCL also provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

The Code of Bylaws of Broadcast Software International Inc. provide for indemnification against any costs or expenses incurred in connection with a legal action to which the indemnitee is made party by reason of being a director or officer only if: (i) the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed in the best interests of the Corporation; and (ii) with respect to a criminal action, the director or officer did not have reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful (so long as not adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct, and a court does not decide that he is entitled to indemnity). The Articles of Incorporation of Broadcast Software International Inc. similarly provide for indemnification for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission except, (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) for payment of distributions in violation of Section 78.300 of the NGCL.

The Bylaws of KLIF Broadcasting, Inc. and Radio Metroplex, Inc. provide for indemnification to the fullest extent authorized by the NGCL against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by the indemnitee in connection with a legal action to which the indemnitee is made party by reason of being a director or officer. Citadel Broadcasting Company’s Certificate of Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Cumulus Broadcasting LLC and Aviation I, LLC are organized in Nevada. Section 86.411 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) generally allows a limited liability company to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,

 

II-3


Table of Contents

criminal, administrative or investigative (except an action by or in the right of the limited liability company), by reason of being or having been a manager, member, employee or agent of the limited liability company or serving or having served in certain capacities at the request of the limited liability company. Indemnification may include attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person to be indemnified in connection with the action, suit or proceeding.

NRS section 86 generally allows a limited liability company to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the limited liability company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of being or having been a manager, member, employee or agent of the limited liability company or serving or having served in certain capacities at the request of the limited liability company except that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the limited liability company or for amounts paid in settlement to the limited liability company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. However, to be entitled to indemnification, the person to be indemnified in either case must have acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the limited liability company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

The NRS generally provides that to the extent a manager, member, employee or agent of a limited liability has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, he or she must be indemnified by the limited liability company against expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense.

The NRS generally allows a limited liability company to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of the limited liability company’s current and former managers, members employees or agents, or any persons serving or who have served in certain capacities at the request of the limited liability company, for any liability and expenses incurred by them in their capacities as managers, members, employees or agents or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the limited liability company has the authority to indemnify him, her or them against such liability and expenses.

The Operating Agreement of Cumulus Broadcasting LLC provides indemnification to the full extent permitted by the NRS, except if losses were related to actions constituting (i) bad faith, fraud, violation of law or intentional misconduct or (ii) breach of the operating agreement. The articles of organization of Aviation I, LLC provide that no member or manager of the company may be held liable to the company or its members for any breach of fiduciary duty as member or manager of the company. But this provision does not affect liability for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law. Further, the members and managers of the company are not liable under a judgment, decree, or order of a court, or in any other manner, for a debt, obligation, or liability of the company. The articles provide that all expenses incurred by members or managers in defending an administrative, investigative, civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding, related in any manner to the business of the company, must be paid by the company as they are incurred in advance of final disposition. However, the member or manager must repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, that he or she did not act in good faith, in the manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, with no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

The limited liability company operating agreement of Aviation I, LLC provides that a member, director or officer may not be held liable to the limited liability company or any other person or entity who has an interest in the limited liability company, and is entitled to indemnification from the limited liability company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission by the member, director or officer made in good faith on behalf of the limited liability company and in a manner

Table of Contents

reasonably believed to be within his or her scope of authority. However, a member, director or officer may be held liable and is not entitled to indemnification for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of his or her willful misconduct. To the extent an indemnity is provided, such indemnity must be provided out of and limited to the limited liability company’s assets only, and no member, director or officer may be held personally liable in this respect. Rights to indemnification under the limited liability company agreement are intended as an addition to, and not a limitation upon, the indemnification described in Sections 86.411 through 86.451 of the NRS, as amended from time to time.

Pennsylvania Registrant

Susquehanna Radio Corp. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania law permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred by them in connection with any pending, threatened or completed action or proceeding, and permits such indemnification against expenses incurred in connection with any pending, threatened or completed derivative action, if the director or officer has acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Pennsylvania law further provides that expenses incurred in defending any action or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

Under Pennsylvania law, the statutory provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses are non-exclusive with respect to any other rights, such as contractual rights or rights granted pursuant to a by-law or by vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled. Such rights may, for example, provide for indemnification against judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred by the indemnified person in connection with derivative actions. Pennsylvania law and our articles of incorporation permit such derivative action indemnification in any case except where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. Pennsylvania law and our articles of incorporation permit us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of our directors and officers against any liability asserted against the director or officer and incurred in such capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify a director or officer against such liability.

Susquehanna Radio Corp.’s Bylaws provide that indemnification will be provided against reasonable costs and expenses in connection with a legal action to which the indemnitee is made party by reason of being a director or officer, except expenses attributable to gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of duties as director or officer.

New York Registrant

Radio Today Entertainment, Inc., is incorporated under the laws of the state of New York. Section 722 of the New York Business Corporation Law (“NYBCL”) provides that a New York corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits and proceedings, whether civil, criminal or otherwise (other than action by or in the right of the corporation (“derivative actions”)), if they acted in good faith for a purpose they reasonably believed to be in or, in the case of service for another entity, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of (1) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (2) any claim as to which such person is adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent approved by a court. Under Section 723 of the NYBCL, if a person has been successful in the defense of an action described above, he or she shall be entitled to indemnification. The

foregoing is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted to a director or officer under a certificate of incorporation, bylaws, resolution or contract. Neither the Certificate of Incorporation nor the By-laws of Radio Today Entertainment, Inc. contain provisions concerning the indemnification of its directors or officers.

Texas Registrant

WBAP-KSCS Radio Group, Ltd., is a Texas limited partnership. Section 8.101 of the Texas Business Organizations Code provides generally that a person sued as a director or general partner of a limited partnership, or while serving at the request of the partnership as a director, officer, partner, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another enterprise, may be indemnified by the partnership against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses if it is determined that such person has conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the partnership, that his conduct was in the partnership’s best interests, and in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the partnership’s best interests and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, that such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Indemnification of a person found liable to the partnership or found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding and shall not be made if the person is found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the partnership, for breach of the duty of loyalty, or for an act or omission not committed in good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed to the partnership. Indemnification is mandatory, however, in the case of such person being wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding.

The agreement of limited partnership of WBAP-KSCS Radio Group, Ltd. provides that the general partner may not be held liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to any other partner for any acts performed in good faith and within the scope of the agreement of limited partnership. The general partner is entitled to indemnification from the partnership (but not any partner) from any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any act or failure to act by the general partner, if such act or failure to act is in good faith and within the scope of the agreement of limited partnership and is not attributable to gross negligence, malfeasance or fraud.

Alabama Registrant

Oklahoma Radio Partners, LLC is organized under the laws of the State of Alabama. Section 10A-1-6.02 of the Alabama Business and Nonprofit Entities Code provides that the indemnification provisions of Article 6 do not apply to limited liability companies, but rather that the governing documents of a limited liability company may adopt provisions of this article or may contain enforceable provisions relating to indemnification. Section 10A-5-1.04 provides that unless its certificate of formation provides otherwise, every limited liability company has the power to indemnify a member, manager, or employee against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of an action, suit, or proceeding, civil or criminal, except in relation to matters as to which the member, manager, or employee is determined to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty. Further, every limited liability company has the power to make any other indemnification that is authorized by the governing documents of the limited liability company or by a resolution adopted by the members after notice, unless notice is waived. Lastly, every limited liability company has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a member, manager, or employee of the limited liability company against any liability asserted against and incurred by the member, manager, or employee, whether or not the limited liability company would have the power to indemnify the member, manager, or employee against that liability.

The articles of organization of Oklahoma Radio Partners, LLC provide that in amplification, and not in limitation of applicable provisions of Alabama law, the company may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including appeals (other than an action by or in the right of the

company), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a member, manager, officer, employee or agent of the company, a manager or any affiliate of any of the foregoing or is or was serving at the request of the company or manager as a director, officer, partner, manager, employee, trustee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

With respect to any action in the right of the company, the company may indemnify any person if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company. But no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court deems proper.

To the extent that a member, manager, officer, employee or agent of the company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she must be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith, notwithstanding that he or she has not been successful on any other claim, issue or matter in any such action, suit or proceeding.

Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal claim, action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the company in advance of the final disposition of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. But such person seeking indemnification must repay such amount if, and to the extent that, it ultimately is determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the company.

The indemnification authorized by the articles of organization is not exclusive of, and is in addition to, any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any statute, rule of law, provision of articles of organization, operating agreement, other agreement, vote of members or otherwise.

The company has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a member, manager, officer, employee or agent of the company against any liability asserted against him or her, whether or not the company would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability.

The limited liability company operating agreement of Oklahoma Radio Partners, LLC provides that a member, director or officer may not be held liable to the limited liability company or any other person or entity who has an interest in the limited liability company, and is entitled to indemnification from the limited liability company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission by the member, director or officer made in good faith on behalf of the limited liability company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within his or her scope of authority. However, a member, director or officer may be held liable and is not entitled to indemnification for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of his or her willful misconduct. To the extent an indemnity is provided, such indemnity must be provided out of and limited to the limited liability company’s assets only, and no member, director or officer may be held personally liable in this respect.

Schedule II—Valuation and qualifying accounts.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of such registrants under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of such registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting

(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of such registrant; and

(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by such registrant to the purchaser.

(6) That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(7) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

(8) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether or not such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(9) That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.

(10) That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (8) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(11) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether or not such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(12) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 7.2. Prepayment of Expenses. The corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VII or otherwise.

Section 7.3. Claims. If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding) or advancement of expenses under this Article VII is not paid in full within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefore by the Covered Person has been received by the corporation, the Covered Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action the corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

Section 7.4. Nonexclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any Covered Person by this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of

 

9


incorporation, these bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 7.5. Other Sources. The corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Covered Person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such Covered Person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.

Section 7.6. Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Covered Person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

Section 7.7. Insurance. Upon resolution passed by the Board of Directors the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an agent against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.

Section 7.8. Other Indemnification and Prepayment of Expenses.

The stockholders may elect a Director or Directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the Directors.

Section 4.10. Waiver of Notice. The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors, however called and noticed or wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the Directors not present signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to holding such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof.

Directors shall not receive any stated salary for their services as Directors or as members of committees, but, by resolution of the Board, a fixed fee, with or without expenses of attendance, may be allowed to Directors for such services. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity as an Officer, agent, employee or otherwise, and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 4.17. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees. The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative) by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, or employee of the Corporation, against any costs or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, suit, or proceeding, if (i) he acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and if (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he did not have reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue, or matter arising from any action by or in the name of the Corporation with respect to which the person is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation (unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action was brought determines, upon application, that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such costs and expenses which the court shall deem proper). The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, did have reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

To the extent that a Director, officer, or employee of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding to which this Section is applicable, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against the costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

Unless ordered by a court, any indemnification under this Section shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Director, officer, or employee is proper under the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth herein. This determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties of such action, suit, or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the Board of directors, or (iii) by the stockholders of the Corporation.

Seventh: To appoint an Executive Committee and other committees, and to delegate to such Executive Committee any of the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, except the power to declare distributions and to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws.

In case any Officer or Officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such Officer or Officers of the Corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the Corporation and be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used thereon, had not ceased to be the Officer or Officers of such Corporation.

Section 6.06. Lost Certificates of Stock. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, destroyed, or stolen, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or the owner’s legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

The Company may pay in advance or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person, including advancing reasonable costs of defense, who is or is threatened to be named or made a defendant or a respondent in a proceeding concerning the business and affairs of the Company.

immediately and automatically will be amended so as to permit and authorize the indemnification of the Members and Managers by the Company to the maximum extent permitted by law. The officers of the Company and any Member or Manager, are authorized and empowered to execute, on behalf of all Members, such amendments to this Agreement as may be appropriate to give further effect to this Section 4.5.

4.6 Limitations on Indemnity.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

TERMS OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

Section 1. Amount: Stated Value.

The number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), constituting such Series shall be 10,000,000. The “Stated Value” per share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be $10.00, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits or the like with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock occurring after the first date of issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Issue Date”).

Section 2. Ranking.

The Series A Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution of the Corporation, rank (i) senior to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) and senior to all classes and series of Capital Stock of the Corporation now or hereafter authorized, issued or outstanding, which by their terms expressly provide that they are junior to the Series A Preferred Stock or which do not specify their rank (collectively with the Common Stock, “Junior Securities”) (ii) on a parity with each other class of Capital Stock or series of Preferred Stock authorized or issued by the Corporation after the date hereof, the terms of which specifically provide that such class or series will rank on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock (collectively, “Parity Securities”); and (iii) junior to each other class of Capital Stock or other series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation issued by the Corporation after the date hereof the terms of which specifically provide that such class or series will rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (collectively, “Senior Securities”).

Section 3. Dividends and Distributions: Limitation on Dividends and Repurchases.

(a) The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of any Junior Securities, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) out of funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, which shall accrue at an annual rate per share equal to 9.875% of the Stated Value, from and after the date of issuance of such shares and for so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding. Dividends shall be (i) calculated and compounded semiannually, (ii) cumulative, whether or not declared or paid, and will accrue and be payable semiannually, in arrears, on May 15 and November 15 (each such date referred to herein as a “Dividend Payment Date”), to holders of record as of the immediately preceding May 1, and November 1, respectively (each such date referred to as a “Dividend Record Date”), except that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then they shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day, commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date following the date of issuance of such shares; and (iii) payable in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including fractional shares; provided, however, that the Company


may, at its option, pay cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares) having an aggregate Stated Value equal to the amount of such dividends (“Dividend Shares”). The issuance of such Dividend Shares shall constitute payment of the related dividend for all purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation. Dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and the number of days actually elapsed over a 30-day period, and will be deemed to accrue on a daily basis.

(b) No dividends shall be declared or paid, or funds set apart for the payment of dividends on, any Junior Securities or Parity Securities for any period unless full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of all dividend payment periods terminating on or prior to the date of such declaration or payment shall have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid in full.

(c) No Junior Securities or Parity Securities shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired or retired for value by the Corporation, and no monies shall be paid into or set apart or made available for a sinking or other like fund for the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Junior Securities or Parity Securities by the Corporation, unless, in any such case, full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of all dividend periods terminating on or prior to the date of such repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement shall have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid in full.

Section 4. Voting Rights.

(a) Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or as expressly required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights and the vote or consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote per share of Series A Preferred Stock on all matters to be voted upon by the Series A Preferred Stock.

(b) So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, and unless the consent or approval of a greater number of shares shall then be required by law, without first obtaining the consent or approval of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, the Corporation shall not: (i) amend, alter, or repeal its Certificate of Incorporation or its Bylaws (whether by merger, consolidation, reclassification, combination, or otherwise), or waive any provisions thereof, in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges, or powers of the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that no amendment, alteration or repeal shall be made that has a disproportionate effect on any holder of Series A Preferred Stock in a manner different than other holders of Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) authorize, create, increase the authorized amount of, or issue any class or series, or any shares of any class or series, of Senior Securities or Parity Securities; (iiii) declare, pay, or set apart for payment, any dividends or any other distributions of any sort by the Corporation in respect of any Junior Securities or Parity Securities; or (iv) consummate a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Series A Preferred Stock, or of a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another corporation or other entity, unless in each case (x) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding or, in the case

 

A-2


of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the Corporation is not the surviving or resulting entity, are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (y) such shares remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole. In addition, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, and unless the consent or approval of a greater number of shares shall then be required by law, without first obtaining the consent or approval of the holders of 80% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, the Corporation shall not, directly or indirectly, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Junior Securities or Parity Securities, or any securities exercisable or exchangeable for Junior Securities or Parity Securities.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(b), the Corporation will be able to issue Senior Securities or Parity Securities, and will be authorized without the vote or consent of the Series A Preferred Stock to make necessary amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation to effect the same: (1) to any creditor or shareholder that does or would, upon the Corporation’s liquidation or dissolution, hold a claim that is, or would be, as applicable, senior to the Series A Preferred Stock upon the Corporation’s liquidation or dissolution (a “Senior Claim”) if such new Senior Securities or Parity Securities are issued solely in exchange for, or in partial or complete permanent satisfaction of, such Senior Claim; or (2) in an offering of Senior Securities or Parity Securities solely for cash, if the proceeds thereof are used to repurchase Indebtedness, Senior Securities or, if new Parity Securities are being offered, Parity Securities, and to pay all reasonable expenses (other than any management or other fees to the Consortium) incurred in connection therewith; provided, in the case of either clause (1) or (2) above, (A) if the new Senior Securities or Parity Securities to be offered provide for a cumulative dividend that is payable only when, as and if declared by the Board, then the initial aggregate original issue price or stated value of such new Senior Securities or Parity Securities to be offered, plus the amount of the dividend thereon that would accumulate if no dividend thereon were paid in the first 36 months after initial issuance thereof, cannot, in the aggregate, exceed the aggregate amount of the existing Senior Claims, Senior Securities or Parity Securities, or Indebtedness, satisfied with the proceeds thereof, and (B) assuming the dividend, whether or not accumulating, on the new Senior Securities or Parity Securities were paid in full, the total cash outlay by the Corporation in respect thereof must not exceed the total cash outlay required by interest or dividend payments on the Senior Claims, Senior Securities or Parity Securities, or Indebtedness, satisfied with the proceeds thereof or exchanged therefor; and, provided further, in the case of clause (2) above, if any member of the Consortium purchases such new Senior Securities or Parity Securities, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will, as a group, be given the opportunity to purchase, pro rata, in proportion to their respective holdings of Series A Preferred Stock, the percentage of the total new Senior Securities or Parity Securities to be offered that is equal to the percentage of the Common Stock for which the Warrants are initially exercisable, and the Corporation shall provide to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock written notice of such proposed offering, including a reasonable description of the terms and timing thereof, in accordance with Section 13. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have 30 days after the date of such notice to elect whether to so participate in such offering by notifying the Corporation in writing, specifying the amount of securities such holder desires to purchase.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(b), the Corporation shall be permitted to declare and pay dividends:

(1) to Holdings for payment to Cumulus pursuant to the Management Agreement of (i) management fees in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year not to exceed the amount of the fee set forth in the Management Agreement (which shall in no event exceed the greater of $4.0 million or 4% of “Adjusted EBITDA” (as defined in the Management Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) for such fiscal year) for any fiscal year, (ii) any related expenses, including professional and similar third party expenses payable under the Management Agreement, (iii) any termination fees pursuant to the Management Agreement not to exceed the amount set forth in the Management Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date and (iv) any amounts described in (i) above, the payment of which has been deferred in the Management Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date, and interest accrued thereon; and

(2) in amounts required for any direct or indirect parent companies of the Corporation to pay, in each case without duplication:

(A) franchise taxes and other fees, taxes and expenses required to maintain their corporate existence,

(B) federal, state and local income taxes, to the extent such income taxes are attributable to the income of the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries and, to the extent of the amount actually received from its Unrestricted Subsidiaries, in amounts required to pay such taxes to the extent attributable to the income of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, on condition that in each case the amount of such payments in any fiscal year does not exceed the amount that the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be required to pay in respect of federal, state and local taxes for such fiscal year were the Corporation, its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent described above) to pay such taxes separately from any such parent entity,

(C) customary salary, bonus and other benefits payable to officers and employees of any direct or indirect parent company of the Corporation to the extent such salaries, bonuses and other benefits are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries,

(D) general corporate operating and overhead costs and expenses of any direct or indirect parent company of the Corporation to the extent such costs and expenses are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries, and

Section 5. Reacquired Shares.

Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed, purchased, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof, and, if necessary to provide for the lawful redemption or purchase of such shares, the capital represented by such shares shall be reduced in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. All such shares shall upon their cancellation (and compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware) become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be redesignated and reissued as part of any other series of Preferred Stock, subject to the conditions or restrictions on authorizing, or creating, or issuing any class or series, or any shares of any class or series, set forth in Section 4.

Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution, or Winding Up.

(a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation Event”) whether voluntary or involuntary, no holders of Junior Securities shall receive, by reason of their ownership thereof, any payment or distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation until the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, by reason of their ownership thereof, shall have first received an amount in cash per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to 100% of the Stated Value thereof, plus an amount in cash equal to the Stated Value of all Dividend Shares representing dividends accrued but not yet paid on such share of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3, whether or not declared “Accrued Dividends”) to the date of liquidation, dissolution or winding up (such amount, the “Liquidation Preference”). If, upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, the assets and funds of the Corporation available to be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full Liquidation Preference, together with any payments due to holders of Parity Securities on such an event, then the holders of Junior Securities shall not receive, by reason of their ownership thereof, any payment or distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation, and the holders of all such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities shall share ratably in any distribution of assets of the Corporation in accordance with the amounts that would be payable on any such distribution if the full Liquidation Preference and the amounts to which holders of outstanding shares of Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full.

(b) For purposes of this Section 6, neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Corporation, nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with any one or more other corporations shall be deemed to be a Liquidation Event, unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

Section 7. Redemption; Rights upon a Change of Control.

(a) At any time from and after the Issue Date, any outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed for cash, in whole or in part, by the Corporation, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 7. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, upon written election

 

A-5


received by the Corporation not later than 30 days after the notice provided by the Corporation in accordance with the next succeeding sentence, may require the Corporation to, as promptly as practicable following receipt of such election from such holder, redeem all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of such holder out of funds of the Corporation legally available therefor. The Corporation shall provide prompt written notice to each holder of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock of any Change of Control in accordance with Section 13.

(b) At least 30 days, but no more than 60 days, prior to the dated fixed by the Corporation for redemption (the “Redemption Date”) the Corporation shall send a notice (a “Redemption Notice”) to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 13 setting forth (i) the Redemption Date, (ii) in the case of a redemption other than in connection with a Change of Control, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all of the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder, (iii) the Redemption Price (as defined below), including a calculation thereof, and (iv) the place at which such holders may obtain payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender of their share certificates. If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds legally available to redeem all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then it shall redeem such shares pro rata from the holders thereof (based upon the portion of the aggregate Redemption Price payable to each holder) to the extent possible, and shall redeem the remaining shares to be redeemed as soon as sufficient funds arc legally available. For purposes of this Section 7, “Redemption Price” means for each share of Series A Preferred Stock (i) in the case of a redemption by the Corporation other than in connection with a Change of Control, (A) 109.875% of the Stated Value, if the Redemption Date occurs less than 12 months after the Issue Date, (B) 104.9375% of the Stated Value, if the Redemption Date occurs between 12 and 18 months (inclusive) of Issue Date, or (C) 100% of the Stated Value, if the Redemption Date occurs more than 18 months after the Issue Date, plus, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), an amount in cash equal to any Accrued Dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed; and (ii) in the case of mandatory redemption in connection with a Change of Control, an amount in cash equal to 100% of the Stated Value, plus an amount in cash equal to any Accrued Dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed payable no later than the date of the consummation of the Change of Control.

(c) On or after the Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such holder’s certificates representing such shares to the Corporation or its agent in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price of such shares shall be payable to the order of the person or entity whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled. In the event that less than all the shares represented by such certificates are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. From and after the Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in payment of the Redemption Price or the Corporation is unable to pay the Redemption Price due to not having sufficient legally available funds, all rights of the holders of such shares as holders of Series A Preferred Stock (except the right to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificates), including the right to receive dividends thereon, shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares; provided, however, that any accrued but unpaid dividends payable on a Redemption Date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a dividend period will not be paid to the holder entitled to receive the

 

A-6


Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, but rather will be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such Dividend Record Date relating to the Dividend Payment Date; provided further, that in the event that shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemed due to a default in payment by the Corporation or because the Corporation does not have sufficient legally available funds, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and shall be entitled to all of the rights and preferences provided herein.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary, the redemption rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth herein are expressly subject to the prior repayment in full of all term loans, revolving credit loans, swing line loans and other extensions of credit and other obligations that are accrued and payable under, and the termination of all term commitments and revolving credit commitments of the lenders under, the Senior Credit Agreement.

Section 8. Board Observer; Information Rights.

(a) So long as at least 20% of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued in the Exchange Offer remain outstanding, the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock, acting as a separate class by majority vote or written consent, shall be entitled to designate an individual (the “Board Observer”), which individual must be reasonably acceptable to the Board, whom the Board or the Corporation shall invite to attend all meetings of the Board and committees thereof (with each such invitation provided to the Board Observer at the same time as notice of such meeting is made to the members of the Board and in any event in compliance with the Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law as if the Board Observer were a member of the Board) in a non-voting observer capacity and, in addition, the Corporation shall provide to the Board Observer copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to its directors generally at the same time it provides such materials to members of the Board generally. The Board Observer may from time to time be removed by the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, acting as a separate class by majority vote or written consent, and replaced by such holders with another individual reasonably acceptable to the Board.

(b) To the extent required to permit the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to be sold without registration under the Securities Act, the Corporation will make publicly available the information concerning the Corporation specified in Rule 144(c)(2) under the Securities Act. Publishing such information to the corporate website of Cumulus shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 8(b) that such information be made publicly available.

(c) So long as at least 20% of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued in the Exchange Offer remain outstanding, the Corporation will, at least once per calendar quarter convene conference calls in which holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may participate to apprise such holders of business developments and operating results relating to the Corporation.

Section 9. Asset Sales.

(a) The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to cause, make or suffer to exist an Asset Sale, unless:

(1) the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Corporation) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that the amount of:

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Corporation’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s, as applicable, most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Corporation and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing,

(B) any securities received by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.

(b) Within 390 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,

(1) to permanently reduce:

(A) Obligations under the Senior Indebtedness, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(B) Obligations under Senior Subordinated Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); or

(C) indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary,

 

A-8


(2) to make (A) an Investment in any one or more businesses, on condition that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Corporation or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) capital expenditures or (C) acquisitions of other assets, in each of (A), (B) and (C), used or useful in a Similar Business, or

(3) to make an investment in (A) any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Corporation or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) properties or (C) acquisitions of other assets that, in each of (A), (B) and (C), replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;

provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds shall be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”); provided further, that if any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds arc applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

(c) The Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to comply with this Section 9 if the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is required to transfer any asset into a trust for FCC regulatory purposes and such trust is then required by the FCC or other governmental entity to sell or otherwise dispose of such asset, so long as in each case any Net Proceeds received by the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries are applied in accordance with this Section 9.

(d) Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 9(b) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Corporation shall make an offer to all holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to the Stated Value thereof, plus the Stated Value of Accrued Dividends, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. The Corporation shall commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $10.0 million by mailing notice to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 13.

To the extent that the aggregate purchase price as set forth above for the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Corporation may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained herein. If the aggregate purchase price as set forth above for the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock tendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, then the Corporation shall purchase the shares of

 

A-9


Series A Preferred Stock so tendered pro rata from the holders thereof (based upon the aggregate purchase price payable to each such holder). Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero.

(e) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 9, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(f) The Corporation shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions hereof, the Corporation shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described herein by virtue thereof.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, if the Corporation is prohibited under the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement from purchasing or acquiring shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 9, and if the Corporation does not obtain any required consent under the Senior Credit Agreement or repay its obligations under the Senior Credit Agreement, then the failure of the Corporation to repurchase shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9 shall not constitute a violation of the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Section 10. Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”) with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Corporation may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), if the Leverage Ratio on a consolidated basis for the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred would not have been greater than 7.50 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

(b) The provisions of Section 10(a) shall not apply to:

(1) the incurrence of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities by the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof), up to an aggregate

(2) the incurrence by CMPSC and any Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness represented by the Notes (including any Guarantee):

(3) Indebtedness of the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence on the Issue Date (other than Indebtedness described in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 10(b));

(4) Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) incurred by the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to finance the purchase, lease or improvement of property (real or personal) or equipment that is used or useful in a Similar Business, whether through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets in an aggregate principal amount (together with any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) not to exceed $10.0 million at any time outstanding, together with all other Indebtedness issued and outstanding under this clause (4) of this Section 10(b);

(5) Indebtedness incurred by the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation claims, or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims; provided, however, that upon the drawing of such letters of credit or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing or incurrence;

(6) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Corporation or its Restricted Subsidiaries providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition, on condition that:

(A) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Corporation, or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (6)(A) of this Section 10(b)); and

(B) the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including non-cash proceeds (the fair market value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition.

 

A-11


(7) Indebtedness of the Corporation to a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock or any other event that results in any Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Corporation or another Restricted Subsidiary or any collateral agent under the Credit Facilities) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness;

(8) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Corporation or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that any subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Corporation or another Restricted Subsidiary or any collateral agent under the Credit Facilities) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness;

(9) Hedging Obligations (excluding Hedging Obligations entered into for speculative purposes) for the purpose of limiting interest rate risk with respect to any Indebtedness or exchange rate risk;

(10) obligations in respect of performance, bid, appeal and surety bonds and completion guarantees provided by the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

(11) Contribution Indebtedness;

(12) the incurrence by the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Corporation of Indebtedness which serves to refund or refinance any Indebtedness or to repurchase, retire or otherwise extinguish any Senior Securities or Parity Securities, and to pay all reasonable fees and expenses (other than any management or other fees of the Consortium) incurred in conjunction therewith; provided that (i) so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, any new Indebtedness incurred has a final maturity that is no earlier than the maturity date of the Notes, (ii) if repurchasing Indebtedness and not Senior Securities or Parity Securities, Total Indebtedness is not thereby increased, (iii) if repurchasing Indebtedness and not Senior Securities or Parity Securities, Cash Interest Expense is not thereby increased, (iv) if repurchasing Indebtedness and not Senior Securities or Parity Securities, either Total Indebtedness or Cash Interest Expense is thereby decreased, and (v) if the new Indebtedness does not require mandatory periodic payments of interest thereon prior to maturity, the face amount of such Indebtedness, together with accrued interest thereon if no interest were paid within the first 36 months after incurrence thereof, does not exceed the amount of the Indebtedness, or Senior Securities or Parity Securities, refinanced therewith;

(13) Indebtedness of Persons that are acquired by the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary, on condition that, after giving effect to such acquisition or merger, either

(A) the Corporation would be permitted to incur at least $ 1.00 or additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio test set forth in Section 10(a), or

(B) the Leverage Ratio of the Corporation and the Restricted Subsidiaries is less than immediately prior to such acquisition or merger;

(19) Indebtedness of the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred in connection with or in contemplation of, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the acquisition by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary of property used or useful in a Similar Business (whether through the direct purchase of assets or the purchase of Capital Stock of, or merger, amalgamation or consolidation with, any Person owning such assets), on condition that, after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related transactions, the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such Indebtedness is incurred, (A) would have had a Leverage Ratio of not greater than the Leverage Ratio on the Issue Date and (B) would have had a Leverage Ratio lower than the Leverage Ratio for such period immediately prior to giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related transactions; and

(20) incurrence by the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million at any time outstanding.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 10:

(1) in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (20) of Section 10(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 10(a),

 

A-13


the Corporation, in its sole discretion, shall classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of the above clauses; provided, however, that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facilities on the Issue Date shall be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under clause (1) of Section 10(b); and

(2) at the time of incurrence, the Corporation shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 10(a) and Section 10(b).

(d) Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 10.

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided, however, that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

(viii) whether or not the issue of any additional shares of any such class or series or of any other class or series in addition to such class or series shall be subject to restrictions in addition to the restrictions, if any, on the issue of additional shares imposed in the resolution or resolutions fixing the terms of any outstanding class or series of Preferred Stock theretofore issued pursuant to this Section 4.2 and, if subject to additional restrictions, the extent of such additional restrictions; and

(ix) the rights of the holders of the shares of such class or series upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of, or upon the distribution of assets of, the Corporation.

For purposes of this Section 4.2, the voluntary sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all the property or assets of the Corporation or a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one or more other corporations (whether or not the Corporation is the corporation surviving such consolidation or merger) shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation is further expressly vested with the authority to make the voting powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of any class or series of Preferred Stock dependent upon facts ascertainable outside this Certificate of Incorporation or of any amendment hereto, or outside the resolutions or resolutions providing for the issuance of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors, provided that the manner in which such facts shall operate upon the voting powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such class or series of Preferred Stock is clearly and expressly set forth in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such stock adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(c) Before any dividends shall be declared or paid or any distribution ordered or made upon the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in Common Stock), the Corporation shall comply with the dividend and sinking fund provisions, if any, of any resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of any class or series of Preferred Stock any shares of which shall at the time be outstanding. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled, to the exclusion of the holders of Preferred Stock of any and all classes and series, to receive such dividends as from time to time may be declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

4.3 Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by them on each matter on which they are entitled to vote. The holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate share for share in any cash dividend which may be declared from time to time on the Common Stock of the Corporation by the Board of Directors and to receive pro rata the net assets of the Corporation on dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, in both cases subject to all amounts to which the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive or have set aside.

4.4 FCC Matters. In accordance with the Federal Communications Act of 1934, as amended (“Communications Act”), and the rules, regulations and policies promulgated by the FCC thereunder (“FCC Regulations”), the Board of Directors of the Corporation may: (a) prohibit the ownership or voting of more than 20% of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock by or for the account of aliens or their representatives or by a foreign government or representative thereof or by any corporation organized under the laws of a foreign country (collectively “Aliens”), or by or for corporations of which any officer is an Alien, more than one-fourth of its directors are Aliens, or of which more than one-fourth of its capital stock is owned of record or voted by Aliens, or by any other entity that is (i) subject to or deemed to be subject to management influence by Aliens or (ii) the equity of which is owned, controlled by, or held for the benefit of, Aliens in a manner that would cause the Corporation to be in violation of the Communications Act or the FCC Regulations; (b) prohibit any transfer of the Corporation’s stock which would cause more than 20% of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock to be owned or voted by or for any person or entity designated in foregoing clause (a); and (c) prohibit the ownership, voting or transfer of any portion of its outstanding capital stock to the extent the ownership, voting or transfer of such portion would cause the Corporation to violate or otherwise result in violation of any provision of the Communications Act or the FCC Regulations.

Notwithstanding any provisions contained herein to the contrary, if prior approvals must be obtained from the FCC (the “FCC Approvals”), (i) no stockholder other than the holders of Common Stock shall possess any voting rights except as permitted by law; (ii) no stockholder other than the holders of Common Stock may nominate, appoint or designate any member of the Board of Directors; and (iii) no stockholder shall be entitled to exercise any conversion rights or voting rights, until the FCC Approvals have been obtained.

AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS

OF CITADEL BROADCASTING COMPANY

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.01 Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation shall be held on the date and at the time and place as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, for the purpose of electing directors of the corporation to serve during the ensuing year and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting. If the election of the directors is not held on the day designated herein for any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the president shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the stockholders as soon thereafter as is convenient.

Section 1.02 Special Meetings.

(a) Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the chairman, the president or the Board of Directors and shall be called by the chairman, the president or the Board of Directors at the written request of the holders of not less than 51% of the voting power of any class of the corporation’s stock entitled to vote.

(b) No business shall be acted upon at a special meeting except as set forth in the notice calling the meeting, unless one of the conditions for the holding of a meeting without notice set forth in Section 1.05 shall be satisfied, in which case any business may be transacted and the meeting shall be valid for all purposes.

Section 1.03 Place of Meetings. Any meeting of the stockholders of the corporation may be held at its registered office in the State of Nevada or at such other place in or out of the United States as the Board of Directors may designate. A waiver of notice signed by stockholders entitled to vote may designate any place for the holding of such meeting.

Section 1.04 Notice of Meetings.

(a) The president, a vice president, the secretary, an assistant secretary or any other individual designated by the Board of Directors shall sign and deliver written notice of any meeting at least ten (10) days, but not more than sixty (60) days, before the date of such meeting. The notice shall state the place, date and rime of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

(b) In the case of an annual meeting, any proper business may be presented for action, except that action on any of the following items shall be taken only if the general nature of the proposal is stated in the notice:

 

  (1) Action with respect to any contract or transaction between the corporation and one or more of its directors or officers or between the corporation and any corporation, firm or association in which one or more of the corporation’s directors or officers is a director or officer or is financially interested;


  (2) Adoption of amendments to the Articles of Incorporation; or

 

  (3) Action with respect to a merger, share exchange, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, or dissolution of the corporation.

(c) A copy of the notice shall be personally delivered or mailed postage prepaid to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting at the address appearing on the records of the corporation, and the notice shall be deemed delivered the date the same is deposited in the United States mail for transmission to such stockholder. If the address of any stockholder does not appear upon the records of the corporation, it will be sufficient to address any notice to such stockholder at the registered office of the corporation.

(d) The written certificate of the individual signing a notice of meeting, setting forth the substance of the notice or having a copy thereof attached, the date the notice was mailed or personally delivered to the stockholders and the addresses to which the notice was mailed, shall be prima facie evidence of the manner and fact of giving such notice.

(e) Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting by a signed writing, either before or after the meeting. A written waiver of notice, whether given before or after the meeting to which it relates, shall be equivalent to the giving of notice of such meeting to the stockholder or stockholders signing such waiver.

(f) Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 1.05 Meeting Without Notice.

(a) Whenever all persons entitled to vote at any meeting consent, either by:

 

  (1) A writing on the records of the meeting or filed with the secretary; or

 

  (2) Presence at such meeting and oral consent entered on the minutes; or

 

  (3) Taking part in the deliberations at such meeting without objection; the doings of such meeting shall be as valid as if had at a meeting regularly called and noticed.

(b) At such meeting any business may be transacted that is not excepted from the written consent or to the consideration of which no objection for want of notice is made at the time.

 

2


(c) If any meeting be irregular for want of notice or of such consent, provided a quorum was present at such meeting, the proceedings of the meeting may be ratified and approved and rendered likewise valid and the irregularity or defect therein waived by a writing signed by all parties having the right to vote at such meeting.

(d) Such consent or approval may be by proxy or attorney, but all such proxies and powers of attorney must be in writing.

Section 1.06 Determination of Stockholders of Record.

(a) For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any distribution or the allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.

(b) If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders: (i) entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (ii) entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be the day on which the first written consent is signed; and (iii) for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.07 Quorum; Adjourned Meetings.

(a) Unless the Articles of Incorporation provide for a different proportion, stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the corporation’s stock, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting. If, on any issue, voting by classes is required by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at least a majority of the voting power within each such class is necessary to constitute a quorum of each such class.

(b) If a quorum is not represented, a majority of the voting power so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time until holders of the voting power required to constitute a quorum shall be represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted as originally called. When a stockholders’ meeting is adjourned to another time or place hereunder, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum of the voting power.

Section 1.08 Voting.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, or in the resolution providing for the issuance of the stock adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, each stockholder of record, or such stockholder’s duly authorized proxy or attorney-in-fact, shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of voting stock standing registered in such stockholder’s name on the record date.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, all votes with respect to shares standing in the name of an individual on the record date (including pledged shares) shall be cast only by that individual or such individual’s duly authorized proxy, attorney-in-fact, or voting trustee(s) pursuant to a voting trust. With respect to shares held by a representative of the estate of a deceased stockholder, or by a guardian, conservator, custodian or trustee, votes may be cast by such holder upon proof of capacity, even though the shares do not stand in the name of such holder. In the case of shares under the control of a receiver, the receiver may cast votes carried by such shares even though the shares do not stand in the name of the receiver; provided, that the order of the court of competent jurisdiction which appoints the receiver contains the authority to cast votes carried by such shares. If shares stand in the name of a minor, votes may be cast only by the duly appointed guardian of the estate of such minor if such guardian has provided the corporation with written proof of such appointment.

(c) With respect to shares standing in the name of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity on the record date, votes may be cast: (i) in the case of a corporation, by such individual as the bylaws of such other corporation prescribe, by such individual as may be appointed by resolution of the Board of Directors of such other corporation or by such individual (including the officer making the authorization) authorized in writing to do so by the chairman of the Board of Directors, president or any vice-president of such corporation and (ii) in the case of a partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity, by an individual representing such stockholder upon presentation to the corporation of satisfactory evidence of his authority to do so.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, no votes may be cast for shares owned by this corporation or its subsidiaries, if any. If shares are held by this corporation or its subsidiaries, if any, in a fiduciary capacity, no votes shall be cast with respect thereto on any matter except to the extent that the beneficial owner thereof possesses and exercises either a right to vote or to give the corporation holding the same binding instructions on how to vote.

(e) Any holder of shares entitled to vote on any matter may cast a portion of the votes in favor of such matter and refrain from casting the remaining votes or cast the same against the proposal, except in the case of elections of directors. If such holder entitled to vote fails to specify the number of affirmative votes, it will be conclusively presumed that the holder is casting affirmative votes with respect to all shares held.

 

4


(f) With respect to shares standing in the name of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, husband and wife as community property, tenants by the entirety, voting trustees, persons entitled to vote under a stockholder voting agreement or otherwise and shares held by two or more persons (including proxy holders) having the same fiduciary relationship in respect to the same shares, votes may be cast in the following manner:

 

  (1) If only one person votes, the vote of such person binds all.

 

  (2) If more than one person casts votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all.

 

  (3) If more than one person casts votes, but the vote is evenly split on a particular matter, the votes shall be deemed cast proportionately, as split.

(g) If a quorum is present, unless the Articles of Incorporation provide for a different proportion, the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless voting by classes is required for any action of the stockholders by the laws of the State of Nevada, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in which case the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of each such class shall be required.

Section 1.09 Proxies. At any meeting of stockholders, any holder of shares entitled to vote may designate, in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, another person or persons to act as a proxy or proxies. No proxy is valid after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of its creation, unless it is coupled with an interest, or unless the stockholder specifies in it the length of time for which it is to continue in force, which may not exceed seven years from the date of its creation. Every proxy shall continue in full force and effect until its expiration or revocation in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

Section 1.10 Order of Business. At the annual stockholders meeting, the regular order of business shall be determined by the Chairman of such meeting.

Section 1.11 Absentees’ Consent to Meetings. Transactions of any meeting of the stockholders are as valid as though had and approved at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is represented, either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not represented in person or by proxy (and those who, although present, either object at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened or expressly object at the meeting to the consideration of matters not included in the notice which are legally required to be included therein), signs a written waiver of notice or consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents, and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records and made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not properly included in the notice if such objection is expressly made at the time any such matters are presented at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or consent, except as otherwise provided in Section 1.04(a) and (b) of these Bylaws.

 

5


Section 1.12 Telephonic Meetings. Stockholders may participate in a meeting of the stockholders by means of a telephone conference or similar method of communication by which all individuals participating in the meet can hear each other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 1.12 constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

Section 1.13 Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if a written consent thereto is signed by the holders of the voting power of the corporation that would be required at a meeting to constitute the act of the stockholders. Whenever action is taken by written consent, a meeting of stockholders need not be called or notice given. The written consent may be signed in counterparts and must be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the stockholders.

Section 1.14 Transfer of Shares to Aliens.

(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, not more than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate number of shares of stock outstanding shall at any time be owned of record by or for the account of aliens or their representatives, a foreign government or representative thereof, or any corporation organized under the laws of a foreign country.

(b) Shares of stock shall be transferable on the books of the corporation to aliens and their representatives, foreign governments and representatives thereof, and corporations organized under the laws of foreign countries (or to any persons holding for the account of aliens and their representatives, foreign governments and representatives thereof, and corporations organized under the laws of foreign countries) only, if after giving effect to such transfer, the aggregate number of shares of voting stock owned by or for the account of aliens and their representatives, foreign governments and representatives thereof, and corporations organized under the laws of foreign countries, would be not more than twenty percent (20%) of the number of shares of stock then outstanding.

(c) The Board of Directors may from time to time make such rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or appropriate to enforce the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.14.

Section 1.15 Organization of Meetings. At each meeting of the stockholders, the President, or, if he or she is absent therefrom, another officer of the corporation chosen as chairman of such meeting by stockholders holding a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat, or, if all the officers of the corporation are absent therefrom, a stockholder of record so chosen, shall act as chairman of the meeting and preside thereat. The Secretary, or, if he or she is absent from the meeting or is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 to act as chairman of such meeting, the person (who shall be an Assistant Secretary, if any and if present) whom the chairman of the meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

(a) The Board of Directors of the corporation, by majority vote, may declare vacant the office of a director who has been convicted of a felony or who has been declared incompetent by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Any director may be removed from office by the vote or written consent of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote, except that if the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation provide for the election of directors by cumulative voting, no director may be removed from office except upon the vote of stockholders owning sufficient shares to have prevented such director’s election to office in the first instance.

Section 2.06 Vacancies.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, all vacancies, including those caused by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum unless it is otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation unless, in the case of removal of a director, the stockholders by a majority of voting power shall have appointed a successor to the removed director. Subject to the provisions of Subsection (b) below, (i) in the case of the replacement of a director, the appointed director shall hold office during the remainder of the term of office of the replaced director, and (ii) in the case of an increase in the number of directors, the appointed director shall hold office until the next meeting of stockholders at which directors are elected.

The Board of Directors may provide by resolution the place, date, and hour for holding regular meetings between annual meetings.

Section 2.08 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the chairman, or if there is no chairman, by the president or secretary, and shall be called by the chairman, the president or the secretary upon the request of any two (2) directors. If the chairman refuses or, if there is no chairman, if both the president and secretary refuse or neglect to call such special meeting, a special meeting may be called by notice signed by any two (2) directors.

Section 2.09 Place of Meetings. Any regular or special meeting of the directors of the corporation may be held at such place as the Board of Directors may designate or, in the absence of such designation, at the place designated in the notice calling the meeting. A waiver of notice signed by directors may designate any place for the holding of such meeting.

Section 2.10 Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, there shall be delivered to all directors, at least forty-eight (48) hours before the time of a meeting, a copy of a written notice of the meeting, by delivery of such notice personally, by mailing such notice postage prepaid, or by telegram.

Any director may waive notice of any meeting, and the attendance of a director at a meeting and oral consent entered on the Minutes of the meeting or taking part in deliberations of the meeting without objection shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting. Attendance for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of business thereat because the meeting is not properly called or convened shall not constitute presence nor a waiver of notice for purposes hereof.

Section 2.11 Quorum; Adjourned Meetings.

8


(b) At any meeting of the Board of Directors where a quorum is not present, a majority of those present may adjourn, from time to time, until a quorum is present, and no notice of such adjournment shall be required. At any adjourned meeting where a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which could have been transacted at the meeting originally called.

Section 2.12 Board of Directors’ Decisions. The affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is the act of the Board of Directors.

Section 2.13 Telephonic Meetings. Members of the Board of Directors or of any committee designated by the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or committee by means of a telephone conference or similar method of communication by which all persons participating in such meeting can hear each other. Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 2.13 constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

Section 2.14 Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by all of the members of the Board of Directors or the committee. The written consent may be signed in counterparts and must be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.

Section 2.15 Powers and Duties.

(a) Except as otherwise restricted by Nevada law or the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has full control over the affairs of the corporation. The Board of Directors may delegate any of its authority to manage, control or conduct the business of the corporation to any standing or special committee, or to any officer or agent, and to appoint any persons to be agents of the corporation, each with such powers, including the power to subdelegate, and upon such terms as may be deemed fit.

indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws or both shall continue as theretofore to the extent permitted by law; and (b) if such change permits the corporation, without the requirement of any further action by stockholders or directors, to limit further the liability of directors (or limit the liability of officers) or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the corporation was permitted to provide prior to such change, then liability thereupon shall be so limited and the rights to indemnification and the advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS

Section 1 Nature of Indemnity. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or a person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 hereof, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article V shall be a contract right and, subject to Sections 2 and 5 hereof, shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

Section 2 Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the corporation under Section 1 of this Article V or advance of expenses under Section 5 of this Article V shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V is required, and the corporation fails to respond within sixty days to a written request for

 

- 8 -


indemnity, the corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within 30 days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article V shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 3 Nonexclusivity of Article V. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 4 Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article V.

Section 5 Expenses. Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 1 of this Article V in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of such proceeding’s final disposition unless otherwise determined by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

Section 6 Employees and Agents. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article V and who are or were employees or agents of the corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the board of directors.

 

- 9 -


Section 7 Contract Rights. The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract right between the corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article V and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article V or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing.

Section 8 Merger or Consolidation. For purposes of this Article V, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

ARTICLE VI

When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

Section 3 Transfer Restriction.

Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid, enforceable and legal.

ARTICLE X.

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 In amplification, and not in limitation, of applicable provisions of the Act and other provisions of Alabama law:

(a) The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including appeals (other than an action by or in the right of the Company), whether informal or formal by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Member, Manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company, a Manager or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing or is or was serving at the request of the Company or Manager as a director, officer, partner, manager, employee, trustee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably included by him or her in connection with such claim, action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person (as hereinafter defined) (i) any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person, (ii) any Person owning or controlling ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding voting interest of such Person, (iii) any officer, director, general partner, member or trustee of such Person or (iv) any Person who is an officer, director, general partner, member or trustee of any Person described in clauses (i) or (iii) of this sentence. For purposes of this definition, the terms “controls,” “controlling,” “controlled by” or “under common control with” shall mean the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. “Person” means an individual or entity.

(b) The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed claim, action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Member, Manager, officer, employee, trustee or agent of the Company or a Manager, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, or is or was serving at the request of the Company or a

 

5

Unless the Board of Directors deems otherwise, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person the authorities and duties that are normally associated with that office as commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Any delegation or appointment pursuant to this Section 15 may be revoked at any time by the Board of Directors or the Members. The Officers of the Company are listed on Schedule C attached hereto.

19. Assignments. The Member may assign in whole or in part its limited liability company interest. If the Member transfers all of its interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 19, the transferee shall be admitted to the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.

Allocations of Income, Profits and Losses

8.1. Profits and Losses. Profits and Losses for any fiscal year shall be allocated 90% to the Limited Partner and 10% to the General Partner.

 

- 6 -


8.2. The Losses allocated pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing the Limited Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year. All Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 8.2 shall be allocated to the General Partner.

8.3. Allocation of Income for Partial Fiscal Year. For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

8.4. Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734 (b) or Code Section 743 (b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b) (2) (iv) (m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

8.5. Tax Allocations: Code Section 704 (c).

In accordance with Code Section 704 (c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deductions with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Partnership shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes and its initial fair market value.

Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 8.5 are solely for purposes of Federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

8.6. Authority of General Partner to Vary Allocations.

(a) It is the intent of the Partners that each Partner’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) shall be determined and allocated in accordance with Article VIII to the fullest extent permitted by Section 704 (b) of the Code. In order to preserve and protect the determinations and allocations provided for in Article VIII, the General Partner is authorized and directed to allocate income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) arising in any year differently than otherwise provided for in this Article VIII to the extent that allocating income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) in the manner provided for in Article VIII would cause the determinations and allocations of each Partner’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) not to be permitted by Section 704 (b) of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Any allocation made pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for any allocation otherwise provided for in Article VIII and no amendment of this Partnership Agreement or approval of any Partner shall be required.

 

- 7 -

The Board of Directors may, from time to time as it deems advisable, appoint officers of the company (each an “Officer”) and assign in writing titles (including, without limitation, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) to any such person. Unless the Board of Directors deems otherwise, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person the authorities and duties that are normally associated with that office as commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Any delegation or appointment pursuant to this Section 15 may be revoked at any time by the Board of Directors or the Members. The Officers of the Company are listed on Schedule C attached hereto.

such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Member’s, Director’s or Officer’s willful misconduct. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Member, Director or Officer shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Member, Director or Officer by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Member, Director or Officer in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Member, Director or Officer by this Agreement, except that no Member, Director or Officer shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Member, Director or Officer by reason of willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 18 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member, Director or Officer shall have personal liability on account thereof.

c. In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act.

22. Separability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid, enforceable and legal.

  Re: Registration Statement on Form S-4 Filed by Cumulus Media Holdings Inc. and
       the Guarantors Named Below Relating to the Exchange Offer

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Cumulus Media Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the companies listed on Annex A hereto (each, a “Covered Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Covered Guarantors”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to which this opinion has been filed as an exhibit (the “Registration Statement”), which relates to the proposed issuance and exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) of up to $610,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 of the Company (the “Exchange Notes”) for an equal principal amount of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 of the Company outstanding on the date hereof (the “Outstanding Notes”). The Outstanding Notes have been, and the Exchange Notes will be, issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 13, 2011 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Covered Guarantors, the companies listed on Annex B hereto (each, an “Other Guarantor” and collectively, the “Other Guarantors,” such Other Guarantors, together with the Covered Guarantors, the “Guarantors”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Outstanding Notes are, and the Exchange Notes will be, guaranteed (each, a “Guarantee”) on a joint and several basis by the Guarantors.

In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of such opinions.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

  1. The Exchange Notes, when they are executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture and issued and delivered in exchange for the Outstanding Notes in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company.

 

  2. The Guarantee of the Exchange Notes (each, an “Exchange Guarantee” and collectively, the “Exchange Guarantees”) of each Covered Guarantor, when it is issued and delivered in exchange for the Guarantee of the Outstanding Notes (collectively, the “Outstanding Guarantees”) of that Covered Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, will constitute a valid and binding obligation of that Covered Guarantor.

 

  3. The Exchange Guarantee of each Other Guarantor, when it is issued and delivered in exchange for the Outstanding Guarantee of that Other Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, will constitute a valid and binding obligation of that Other Guarantor.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following limitations, qualifications and assumptions:

For the purposes of the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed that the Trustee has authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture and that the Indenture is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Trustee.

For the purposes of our opinion set forth in paragraph 3 with respect to the Exchange Guarantees of the Other Guarantors, we have assumed that (a) each Other Guarantor is a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, as applicable (each, a “Jurisdiction”), (b) the Indenture and the Exchange Guarantees (i) have been authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action, as applicable, of the Other Guarantors and (ii) have been executed and delivered by each Other Guarantor under the laws of the applicable Jurisdiction, and (c) the execution, delivery, performance and compliance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture and the Exchange Guarantees by any Other Guarantor do not violate or conflict with the laws the applicable Jurisdiction or any rule, regulation, order, decree, judgment, instrument or agreement binding upon or applicable to it or its properties.

The opinions expressed herein are limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance, voidable preference, moratorium or other similar laws, and related regulations and judicial doctrines from time to time in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and (ii) general equitable principles and public policy considerations, whether such principles and considerations are considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

For purposes of our opinions insofar they relate to the Guarantors, we have assumed that the obligations of each of the Guarantors under the Guarantees are, and would be deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be, in furtherance of its corporate, limited liability company or partnership purposes, or necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business of the respective Guarantor and will benefit the respective Guarantor, directly or indirectly.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to (i) the laws of the State of New York, (ii) the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, (iii) the laws of the State of Texas and (iv) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, in each case as currently in effect, and we express no opinion or view as to the effect of any other law of the State of Delaware or the laws of any other jurisdiction, on the opinions expressed herein.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to Jones Day under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part of such Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933 or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

(1) the Holder is delivering certificates for Original Notes with this Letter of Transmittal; or


(2) the tender of certificates for Original Notes will be made by book-entry transfer to the account maintained by U.S. Bank National Association, the exchange agent, at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) according to the procedures described in the Prospectus under the heading “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering Original Notes.” Please note that delivery of documents required by this Letter of Transmittal to DTC does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

A Holder may also tender its Original Notes by means of DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”), subject to the terms and procedures of that system. If delivery is made through ATOP, the Holder must transmit an agent’s message to the exchange agent’s account at DTC. The term “agent’s message” means a message, transmitted to DTC and received by the exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry transfer, that states that DTC has received an express acknowledgement that the Holder agrees to be bound by this Letter of Transmittal and that the Company may enforce this Letter of Transmittal against the Holder.

You must tender your Original Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in this Letter of Transmittal and the Prospectus if:

(1) your Original Notes are not immediately available;

(2) you cannot deliver your Original Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all required documents to the exchange agent on or before the Expiration Date; or

(3) you are unable to obtain confirmation of a book-entry tender of your Original Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC on or before the Expiration Date.

More complete information about guaranteed delivery procedures is contained in the Prospectus under the heading “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.” You should also read Instruction 1 to determine whether or not this section applies to you.

As used in this Letter of Transmittal, the term “Holder” means (1) any person in whose name Original Notes are registered on the books of the Company, (2) any other person who has obtained a properly executed bond power from a registered holder or (3) any person in whose name Original Notes are held of record by DTC and who desires to deliver such notes by book-entry transfer at DTC. If you are a Holder and decide to tender your Original Notes, you must complete this entire Letter of Transmittal.

You must follow the instructions in this Letter of Transmittal—please read this entire document carefully. If you have questions or need help, or if you would like additional copies of the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, you should contact the exchange agent at its telephone number or address set forth above.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

According to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, I hereby tender to the Company the principal amount of Original Notes indicated above. At the time these notes are accepted by the Company and exchanged for the same principal amount of Exchange Notes, I will sell, assign, and transfer to the Company all right, title and interest in and to the Original Notes I have tendered. I am aware that the exchange agent also acts as the agent of the Company. By executing this document, I irrevocably constitute and appoint the exchange agent as my agent and attorney-in-fact for the tendered Original Notes with full power of substitution to:

 

   

cause the Original Notes to be assigned, transferred and exchanged.

 

   

deliver certificates for the Original Notes, or transfer ownership of the Original Notes on the account books maintained by DTC, to the Company and deliver all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to the Company; and

 

   

present the Original Notes for transfer on the books of the Company, receive all benefits and exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of these Original Notes according to the terms of the Exchange Offer. The power of attorney granted in this paragraph is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

With respect to the Original Notes, I represent and warrant that I have full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Original Notes that I am tendering and to acquire Exchange Notes issuable upon the exchange of the tendered Original Notes. I represent and warrant that the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title to such Original Notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, other than restrictions on transfer, charges and encumbrances, and that such Original Notes are not and will not be subject to any adverse claim at the time the Company acquires them. I further represent that:

 

   

any Exchange Notes I will acquire in exchange for the Original Notes I have tendered will be acquired in the ordinary course of business;

 

   

I have not engaged in, do not intend to engage in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to engage in, a distribution of any Exchange Notes issued to me;

 

   

I am not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company or its subsidiaries, or if I am an affiliate of the Company or its subsidiaries, I will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable;

 

   

I am not a broker-dealer who purchased the Original Notes for resale pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act tendering Original Notes acquired directly from the Company for my own account; and

 

   

I am not restricted by any law or policy of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from trading the Exchange Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer.

I understand that the Exchange Offer is being made in reliance on interpretations contained in letters issued to third parties by the staff of the SEC. These letters provide that the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Original Notes in the Exchange Offer may be offered for resale, resold, and otherwise transferred by a Holder of Exchange Notes, unless that person is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act. The Exchange Notes must be acquired in the ordinary course of the Holder’s business and the Holder must not be engaging in, must not intend to engage in, and must not have any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes.

If I am a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for my own account in exchange for Original Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, I acknowledge that I will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. However, by this acknowledgment and by delivering a prospectus, I will not be deemed to admit that I am an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.


Upon request, I will execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the exchange agent or the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of the Original Notes I have tendered.

I understand that the Company will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Original Notes when the Company gives notice of acceptance to the exchange agent and such acceptance will constitute performance in full by the Company of its obligations under the registration rights agreement, except in the limited circumstances defined in such agreement.

If, for any reason, any tendered Original Notes are not accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer, certificates for those unaccepted Original Notes will be returned to me without charge at the address shown below or at a different address if one is listed under “Special Delivery Instructions.” Any unaccepted Original Notes which had been tendered by book-entry transfer will be credited to an account at DTC as soon as reasonably possible after the Expiration Date.

All authority granted or agreed to be granted by this Letter of Transmittal will survive my death, bankruptcy or incapacity, and every obligation under this Letter of Transmittal is binding upon my heirs, legal representatives, successors, assigns, executors, administrators and trustees in bankruptcy of the transferor.

I understand that tenders of Original Notes according to the procedures described in the Prospectus under the heading “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes” and in the instructions included in this Letter of Transmittal constitute a binding agreement between myself and the Company subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer.

Unless I have described other instructions in this Letter of Transmittal under the section “Special Issuance Instructions,” please issue the certificates representing Exchange Notes issued and accepted in exchange for my tendered and accepted Original Notes in my name, and issue any replacement certificates for Original Notes not tendered or not accepted for exchange in my name. Similarly, unless I have instructed otherwise under the section “Special Delivery Instructions,” please send the certificates representing the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for tendered and accepted Original Notes and any certificates for Original Notes that were not tendered or not accepted for exchange, as well as any accompanying documents, to me at the address shown below my signature. If the “Special Issuance Instructions” and the “Special Delivery Instructions” are completed, please issue the certificates representing the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for my tendered and accepted Original Notes in the name(s) of, and/or return any Original Notes that were not tendered or accepted for exchange and send such certificates to, the person(s) so indicated. I understand that if the Company does not accept any of the tendered Original Notes for exchange, the Company has no obligation to transfer any Original Notes from the name of the registered Holder(s) according to my instructions in the “Special Issuance Instructions” and “Special Delivery Instructions” sections of this document.

INSTRUCTIONS

PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE

EXCHANGE OFFER

1. DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ORIGINAL NOTES. The tendered Original Notes or a confirmation of book-entry delivery, as well as a properly completed and executed copy or facsimile of this Letter of Transmittal or an agent’s message through ATOP and any other required documents, must be received by the exchange agent at its address listed on the cover of this document before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE ORIGINAL NOTES, THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT. EXCEPT UNDER THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED BELOW, THE DELIVERY OF THESE DOCUMENTS WILL BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE BEEN MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED OR CONFIRMED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT. WHILE THE METHOD OF DELIVERY IS AT YOUR RISK AND CHOICE, THE COMPANY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE RATHER THAN REGULAR MAIL. YOU SHOULD SEND YOUR DOCUMENTS WELL BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE TO ENSURE RECEIPT BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT. YOU MAY REQUEST THAT YOUR BROKER, DEALER, COMMERCIAL BANK, TRUST COMPANY OR NOMINEE DELIVER YOUR ORIGINAL NOTES, THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT. DO NOT SEND YOUR ORIGINAL NOTES TO THE COMPANY.

THE COMPANY WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY ALTERNATIVE, CONDITIONAL OR CONTINGENT TENDERS. EACH TENDERING HOLDER, BY EXECUTION OF A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL (OR FACSIMILE THEREOF OR AGENT’S MESSAGE IN LIEU THEREOF), WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO RECEIVE ANY NOTICE OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TENDER.

If you wish to tender your Original Notes, but:

(a) your Original Notes are not immediately available;

(b) you cannot deliver your Original Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all required documents to the exchange agent before the Expiration Date; or

(c) you are unable to complete the book-entry tender procedure before the Expiration Date,

you must tender your Original Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedure. A summary of this procedure follows, but you should read the section in the Prospectus titled “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures” for more complete information. As used in this Letter of Transmittal, an “Eligible Institution” is a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is a member in good standing under a recognized medallion program approved by the Securities Transfer Association Inc., including the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”), the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (“SEMP”) and the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program (“MSP”), or any other “Eligible Guarantor Institution” as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (each of the foregoing, an “Eligible Institution”).

For a tender made through the guaranteed delivery procedure to be valid, the exchange agent must receive a properly completed and executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery or a facsimile of that notice before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must be delivered by an Eligible Institution and must:

(a) state your name and address;

(b) list the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the Original Notes being tendered;

(c) state that tender of your Original Notes is being made through the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery; and


(d) guarantee that this Letter of Transmittal, or a facsimile of it, the certificates representing the Original Notes, or a confirmation of DTC book-entry transfer, and all other required documents will be deposited with the exchange agent by the Eligible Institution within three NASDAQ Stock Market trading days after the Expiration Date.

The exchange agent must receive your certificates for Original Notes, or a confirmation of DTC book entry, in proper form for transfer, this Letter of Transmittal and all required documents within three NASDAQ Stock Market trading days after the Expiration Date or your tender will be invalid and may not be accepted for exchange.

The Company has the sole right to decide any questions about the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance or withdrawal of tendered Original Notes, and its decision will be final and binding. The Company’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, including the instructions contained in this Letter of Transmittal and in the Prospectus, will be final and binding on all parties.

The Company has the absolute right to reject any or all of the tendered Original Notes if:

(1) the Original Notes are not properly tendered; or

(2) in the opinion of counsel, the acceptance of those Original Notes would be unlawful.

The Company may also decide to waive any conditions of the Exchange Offer or any defects or irregularities of tenders of Original Notes and accept such Original Notes for exchange whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other Holders. Any defect or irregularity in the tender of Original Notes that is not waived by the Company must be cured within the period of time set by the Company.

It is your responsibility to identify and cure any defect or irregularity in the tender of your Original Notes. Your tender of Original Notes will not be considered to have been made until any defect or irregularity is cured or waived. Neither the Company, the exchange agent nor any other person is required to notify you that your tender was defective or irregular, and no one will be liable for any failure to notify you of such a defect or irregularity in your tender of Original Notes. As soon as reasonably possible after the Expiration Date, the exchange agent will return to the Holder tendering any Original Notes that were invalidly tendered if the defect or irregularity has not been cured or waived.

2. TENDER BY HOLDER. You must be a Holder of Original Notes in order to participate in the Exchange Offer. If you are a beneficial holder of Original Notes who wishes to tender, but you are not the registered Holder, you must arrange with the registered Holder to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal on his, her or its behalf. Before completing and executing this Letter of Transmittal and delivering the registered Holder’s Original Notes, you must either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Original Notes in your name or obtain a properly executed bond power from the registered Holder. The transfer of registered ownership of Original Notes may take a long period of time.

3. PARTIAL TENDERS. Tenders of Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be accepted only in principal amounts equal to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. If you are tendering less than the entire principal amount of Original Notes represented by a certificate, you should fill in the principal amount you are tendering in the third column of the box entitled “Description of the Original Notes.” The entire principal amount of Original Notes listed on the certificate delivered to the exchange agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless you fill in the appropriate box. If the entire principal amount of all Original Notes is not tendered, a certificate will be issued for the principal amount of those untendered Original Notes.

Unless a different address is provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal, certificate(s) representing Exchange Notes issued in exchange for any tendered and accepted Original Notes will be sent to the registered Holder at his or her registered address promptly after the Original Notes are accepted for exchange. In the case of Original Notes tendered by book-entry transfer, any untendered Original Notes and any Exchange Notes issued in exchange for tendered and accepted Original Notes will be credited to accounts at DTC.


4. SIGNATURES ON THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL; BOND POWERS AND ENDORSEMENTS; GUARANTEE OF SIGNATURES.

 

   

If you are the registered Holder of the Original Notes tendered with this document and are signing this Letter of Transmittal, your signature must match exactly the name(s) written on the face of the Original Notes. There can be no alteration, enlargement or change in your signature in any manner. If certificates representing the Exchange Notes, or certificates issued to replace any Original Notes you have not tendered, are to be issued to you as the registered Holder, do not endorse any tendered Original Notes, and do not provide a separate bond power.

 

   

If you are not the registered Holder, or if any Exchange Note or any replacement Original Note certificates will be issued to someone other than you, you must either properly endorse the Original Notes you have tendered or deliver with this Letter of Transmittal a properly completed separate bond power. Please note that the signatures on any endorsement or bond power must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

 

   

If you are signing this Letter of Transmittal but are not the registered Holder(s) of any Original Notes listed on this document under the heading “Description of the Original Notes,” the Original Notes tendered must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers, in each case signed in the name of the registered Holder(s) exactly as it appears on the Original Notes. Please note that the signatures on any endorsement or bond power must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

 

   

If this Letter of Transmittal, any Original Notes tendered or any bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person must indicate their title or capacity when signing. Unless waived by the Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company of that person’s authority to act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal. Please note that the signatures on any endorsement or bond power must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

 

   

All signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution unless one of the following situations apply:

 

   

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered Holder(s) of the Original Notes tendered with this Letter of Transmittal and such Holder(s) has not completed the box titled “Special Issuance Instructions” or the box titled “Special Delivery Instructions;” or

 

   

If the Original Notes are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution.

5. SPECIAL ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS. If different from the name and address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, you should indicate, in the applicable box or boxes, the name and address where Original Notes issued in replacement for any untendered or tendered but unaccepted Original Notes should be issued or sent. If replacement Original Notes are to be issued in a different name, you must indicate the taxpayer identification or social security number of the person named.

6. TRANSFER TAXES. The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Original Notes in the Exchange Offer. However, transfer taxes will be payable by you (or by the tendering Holder if you are signing this letter on behalf of a tendering Holder) if:

 

   

certificates representing Exchange Notes or notes issued to replace any Original Notes not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be registered or issued in the name of, a person other than the registered Holder;

 

   

tendered Original Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal; or

 

   

a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Original Notes according to the Exchange Offer. If satisfactory evidence of the payment of those taxes or an exemption from payment is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of those transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering Holder. Until those transfer taxes are paid, the Company will not be required to deliver any Exchange Notes required to be delivered to, or at the direction of, such tendering Holder.


Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it is not necessary for transfer tax stamps to be attached to the Original Notes listed in this Letter of Transmittal.

7. FORM W-9. You must provide the exchange agent with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) for the Holder on the enclosed Form W-9. If the Holder is an individual, the TIN is his or her social security number. If you do not provide the required information on the Form W-9, you may be subject to backup withholding (currently at a 28% rate) on certain payments made to the Holders of Exchange Notes. Certain Holders, such as corporations and certain foreign individuals, are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. For additional information, please read the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of TIN on Substitute Form W-9. To prove to the exchange agent that a foreign individual qualifies as an exempt Holder, the foreign individual must submit a Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, certifying as to that individual’s exempt status. You can obtain a Form W-8 from the exchange agent.

8. WAIVER OF CONDITIONS. The Company may choose, at any time and for any reason, to waive or, subject to certain requirements, amend or modify certain of the conditions to the Exchange Offer. The conditions applicable to tenders of Original Notes in the Exchange Offer are described in the Prospectus under the heading “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes.”

9. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS. Original Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date. For a withdrawal to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth in the accompanying letter of transmittal not later than the Expiration Date. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the person named in the Letter of Transmittal as having tendered Original Notes to be withdrawn, the principal amount of Original Notes to be withdrawn, that the Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Original Notes exchanged and the name of the Holder of the Original Notes, and must be signed by the Holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to us that the person withdrawing the tender has succeeded to the ownership of the Original Notes being withdrawn. Properly withdrawn Original Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described under “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes” in the Prospectus at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Original Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC. All questions as to the validity of notices of withdrawals, including time of receipt, will be determined by us, and will be final and binding on all parties.

Any Original Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the Exchange Offer. Any Original Notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to the tendering Holder of such notes without cost to such Holder, in the case of physically tendered Original Notes, or credited to an account maintained with DTC for the Original Notes promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer. Properly withdrawn Original Notes may be retendered by following the procedures described under the heading “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes” in the Prospectus at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date with respect to such Original Notes.

Any Original Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures set forth under the heading “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Original Notes—Book-Entry Transfer” in the Prospectus will be credited to an account maintained with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility for the Original Notes as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer.

10. MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED ORIGINAL NOTES. If your Original Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, you should contact the exchange agent at the address listed on the cover page of this document for further instructions.


11. REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR ADDITIONAL COPIES. If you have questions, need assistance or would like to receive additional copies of the Prospectus or this Letter of Transmittal, you should contact the exchange agent at the address listed on the cover page of this document. You may also contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance concerning the Exchange Offer.

IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL (OR FACSIMILE THEREOF) AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT ON OR PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE.

Payments of interest generally not subject to backup withholding include the following:

Payments described in section 6049(b)(5) to nonresident aliens.

Privacy Act Notice. Section 6109 requires you to give your correct taxpayer identification number to persons who must file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, and certain other income paid to you, mortgage interest you paid, the acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA or Archer MSA. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of your tax return. The IRS may also provide this information to the Department of Justice for civil and

 


criminal litigation, and to cities, states, and the District of Columbia to carry out their tax laws. The IRS also may disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty, or to federal and state agencies to enforce federal non-tax criminal laws and to combat terrorism. You must provide your taxpayer identification number whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold a percentage (currently 28%) of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.

Penalties.

(1) Penalty for Failure to Furnish Taxpayer Identification Number. If you fail to furnish your taxpayer identification number to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

(2) Civil Penalty for False Information with Respect to Withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

(3) Criminal Penalty for Falsifying Information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.
