Explanatory Note

On November 17, 2017, CBS Corporation (“CBS”) announced that it had consummated its previously announced agreement to combine CBS’s radio business, which is operated by CBS Radio Inc. (“CBS Radio”), with Entercom Communications Corp. (“Entercom”). The combination was effected through the split-off of CBS Radio to CBS shareholders through an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”), followed by the merger of CBS Radio with a wholly owned subsidiary of Entercom, with CBS Radio surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Entercom (the “Merger”). The Exchange Offer was consummated at 11:59 p.m. New York City time on November 16, 2017, and the Merger was consummated effective as of 12:01 a.m. New York City time on November 17, 2017.

The Exchange Offer and Merger were consummated in accordance with the Master Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), by and between CBS and CBS Radio, dated February 2, 2017, and the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CBS, CBS Radio, Entercom and Constitution Merger Sub Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Entercom, dated February 2, 2017 and amended July 10, 2017 and September 13, 2017.

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 16, 2017, immediately prior to the expiration and consummation of the Exchange Offer, and in accordance with the Separation Agreement and the Merger Agreement:

 

    CBS and Entercom entered into a Tax Matters Agreement (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), which will govern CBS’, Entercom’s and CBS Radio’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, tax contests, preservation of the expected tax-free status of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement and certain other tax matters, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of the Tax Matters Agreement.

 

    CBS and Entercom entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”), pursuant to which CBS will provide certain services to Entercom, and Entercom will provide certain services to the Company on a transitional basis.

 

    CBS and Entercom entered into a Joint Digital Services Agreement (the “Joint Digital Services Agreement”), pursuant to which CBS will continue to operate the digital presences for CBS Radio’s sports and news radio stations, subject to the terms and conditions of the Joint Digital Services Agreement.

 

    Certain subsidiaries of CBS also entered into three agreements with CBS Radio and certain subsidiaries of CBS Radio to license the use of certain intellectual property after the closing of the Merger. CBS Broadcasting Inc. (“CBS Broadcasting”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CBS, will license the use of the CBS RADIO trademark for CBS Radio’s use for up to 12 months (the “Business Name License Agreement”), subject in each case to the terms and conditions of the Business Name License Agreement. CBS Broadcasting and certain of its subsidiaries will also enter into an agreement to license the use of certain station call letters and brands at certain radio stations by CBS Radio and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Station License Agreement”), subject in each case to the terms and conditions of the Station License Agreement. The rights pursuant to the Station License Agreement will expire with respect to “WCBS” and “KCBS” 20 years after the closing of the Merger and endure perpetually for certain other brands. Third, CBS Broadcasting and certain of its subsidiaries will enter into an agreement to license the use of the CBS SPORTS RADIO and certain other trademarks used in connection with the CBS Radio Sports Network for use by CBS Radio and CBS Radio Sports Network, Inc. (the “Sports Radio License Agreement”), subject in each case to the terms and conditions of the Sports Radio License Agreement.

The Tax Matters Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement, the Joint Digital Services Agreement, Business Name License Agreement, Station License Agreement and Sports Radio License Agreement are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to such filed exhibits.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The Exchange Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 16, 2017. Under the terms of the Exchange Offer, 5.6796 shares of CBS Radio common stock were exchanged for each share of CBS Class B common stock accepted in the Exchange Offer. CBS accepted 17,854,689 shares of its Class B common stock in exchange for the 101,407,494 shares of CBS Radio common stock owned by CBS.

Because the Exchange Offer was oversubscribed, CBS accepted tendered shares of CBS Class B common stock on a pro rata basis in proportion to the total number of shares validly tendered and accepted for exchange. Shareholders who owned fewer than 100 shares of CBS Class B common stock, or an “odd lot” of such shares, and who validly tendered all of their shares, were not subject to proration in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer. The final proration factor of approximately 10.3721% was applied to all other shares of CBS Class B common stock that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn to determine the number of such shares that were accepted from each tendering shareholder.

Based on the final count by the exchange agent Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the final results of the exchange offer are as follows:

 

Total number of shares of CBS Class B common stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn:

     161,855,335  

Shares tendered and not validly withdrawn that were subject to proration:

     160,664,993  

“Odd-lot” shares tendered that were not subject to proration:

     1,190,342  

Total number of shares of CBS Class B common stock accepted:

     17,854,689  

Immediately following the consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Merger closed effective as of 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on November 17, 2017. In the Merger, each share of CBS Radio common stock outstanding immediately following the Exchange Offer was converted into one share of Entercom Class A common stock (with shareholders entitled to cash in lieu of fractional shares). As of the completion of the Merger, holders of CBS common stock who participated in the Exchange Offer owned approximately 72% of Entercom’s common stock on a fully-diluted basis.

As a result of the foregoing transactions, CBS reduced its common stock outstanding by 17,854,689 shares of CBS Class B common stock.

Unless CBS otherwise consents in writing or as required by Law, neither Acquiror nor Radio shall (i) file any Adjustment Request with respect to any Joint Return, (ii) fail to waive any available elections to carry back to any Joint Return any Radio Carryback arising in a Post-Distribution Period, and (iii) make any affirmative election to claim any such Radio Carryback with respect to any Joint Return.

(b) Extraordinary Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as required by Law, for all Tax purposes, the Parties shall report any Extraordinary Transactions that are caused or permitted by Radio or any Radio Entity on the Distribution Date after the Effective Time as occurring on the day after the Distribution Date pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) or any similar or analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law, unless such allocation is not “reasonable” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B).

(c) In the event that Acquiror and Radio (or the appropriate member of the Radio Group) are prohibited by applicable Law from waiving or otherwise forgoing a Radio Carryback or CBS consents to a Radio Carryback, CBS shall cooperate with Acquiror and Radio, at Acquiror’s and Radio’s expense, in seeking from the appropriate Tax Authority such Tax Benefit (which, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, CBS shall elect to receive in the form of a cash refund rather than as a credit toward or reduction in future Taxes) as reasonably would result from such Radio Carryback, to the extent that such Tax Benefit is directly attributable to such Radio Carryback. To the extent such Tax Benefit is received in the form of a Refund in cash, CBS shall pay over to Acquiror or Radio the amount of such Refund within 10 days after such Refund is received and, to the extent that a Tax Authority requires CBS to apply or cause to be applied the Tax Benefit as a credit toward or a reduction in Taxes in lieu of a cash Refund, within 10 days after a Refund with respect to such Tax Benefit is actually realized; provided, however, that Acquiror and Radio shall indemnify and hold the members of the CBS Group harmless from and against any and all collateral Tax consequences resulting from or caused by any such Radio Carryback, including, without limitation, the loss or postponement of any benefit from the use of Tax Attributes generated by a member of the CBS Group if (i) such Tax Attributes expire unused, but would have been utilized but for such Radio Carryback, or (ii) the use of such Tax Attributes is postponed to a later Tax Period than the Tax Period in which such Tax Attributes would have been used but for such Radio Carryback.

(d) Unless Acquiror otherwise consents in writing or as required by Law, no member of the CBS Group shall file any Adjustment Request with respect to any Radio Separate Tax Return or any Joint Return for a Straddle Period if, in each case, such Adjustment Request could reasonably be expected to increase the Tax liability of any member of the Acquiror Group for any Tax Period or Radio Group for any Post-Distribution Period. For any Joint Return for any other Tax Period, unless required by Law, any such Adjustment Request filed by any member of the CBS Group shall be done in good faith with respect to any adverse Tax impact regarding any member of the Acquiror Group for any Tax Period or Radio Group for any Post-Distribution Period.

Section 3.07 Apportionment of Tax Attributes.

(a) Tax Attributes arising in a Pre-Distribution Period will be allocated to (and the benefits and burdens of such Tax Attributes will inure to) the members of the CBS Group and the members of the Radio Group in accordance with the Code, Treasury Regulations, and any other applicable Tax Law, and, in the absence of controlling legal authority or unless otherwise provided under this Agreement (including Schedule 3.07(a) hereto), Tax Attributes shall be allocated to the legal entity that created such Tax Attributes.

(b) On or before the first anniversary of the Distribution Date, CBS shall deliver to Acquiror its determination in writing of the portion, if any, of any Tax Attributes, overall foreign loss or other affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary, fiscal unity or other group basis Tax Attribute which is allocated or apportioned to the members of the Radio Group under applicable Tax Law and this Agreement (the “Proposed Allocation”). Acquiror shall have 60 days to review the Proposed Allocation and provide CBS any comments with respect thereto. If Acquiror either provides no comments or provides comments to which CBS agrees in writing, such resulting determination will become final (the “Final Allocation”). If Acquiror provides

 

16


comments to the Proposed Allocation and CBS does not agree, the Final Allocation (or such portion(s) of the Final Allocation as to which the Parties do not agree) will be determined by a neutral accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Parties (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall resolve the dispute according to such procedures as the Accounting Firm deems advisable and shall furnish written notice to the Parties of its resolution of any such dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 45 days after its acceptance of the matter for resolution. Any such resolution by the Accounting Firm shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and, if so consistent, shall be conclusive on the Parties and shall be the Final Allocation (or shall replace the disputed portion(s) of the Final Allocation, as applicable). In accordance with Article 15, each Party shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its representatives) incurred in connection with the referral of the matter to the Accounting Firm, and all fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in connection with such referral shall be shared equally by the Companies. All members of the CBS Group, Acquiror Group and Radio Group shall prepare all Tax Returns in accordance the Final Allocation. In the event of an adjustment to any Tax Attributes, overall foreign loss or other affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary, fiscal unity or other group basis attribute, CBS shall promptly notify Acquiror in writing of such adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, CBS shall not be liable to any member of the Acquiror Group or Radio Group for any failure of any determination under this Section 3.07(b) to be accurate under applicable Tax Law, provided such determination was made in good faith.

(c) To the extent that the amount of any Tax Attribute is later reduced or increased by a Tax Authority or Tax Proceeding, such reduction or increase shall be allocated to the Party to which such Tax Attribute was allocated pursuant to Section 3.07(a).

Article 4. Calculation of Tax and Payments.

Section 4.01 Payment of Liability With Respect to Tax Due. Except as provided in Section 6.05, at least 7 Business Days prior to any Payment Date for any Tax Return for which CBS is the Responsible Party, Acquiror and Radio shall pay to CBS the amount Acquiror and Radio are responsible for under the provisions of Article 2 as calculated pursuant to this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 6.05, at least 7 Business Days prior to any Payment Date for any Tax Return for which Acquiror or Radio is the Responsible Party, CBS shall pay to Acquiror and Radio the amount CBS is responsible for under the provisions of Article 2 as calculated pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent a payment attributable to estimated taxes is made pursuant to this Section 4.01, the amounts owed will be recomputed and appropriate adjustments shall be made no later than December 31st of the year in which the Tax Return for the full year with respect to which such estimated Tax payments were made is filed.

Section 4.02 Adjustments Resulting in Underpayments. In the case of any adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination with respect to any Tax, the Party to which such Tax is allocated pursuant to this Agreement shall pay to the applicable Tax Authority when due any additional Tax required to be paid as a result of such adjustment.

Section 4.03 Method for Making Payments. All payments required to be made under this Agreement shall be made by CBS directly to Acquiror and by Acquiror directly to CBS; provided, however, that if the Parties mutually agree with respect to any such indemnification

 

17


payment, any member of the CBS Group, on the one hand, may make such indemnification payment to any member of the Acquiror Group, on the other hand, and vice versa. Unless otherwise specified in this agreement, all indemnification payments shall be made within 10 Business Days of the receipt by the indemnifying party of notification of the amount owed, together with reasonable documentation showing the basis for the calculation of such amount and evidence of payment of such amounts by the indemnified party to the relevant Tax Authority or other recipient. All indemnification payments shall be treated in the manner described in Section 12.01.

Article 5. Refunds.

Section 5.01 Refunds.

(a) CBS shall be entitled to any Refund attributable to Taxes for which CBS is liable hereunder and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall elect to receive any such Refund as a cash refund rather than as a credit toward or reduction in future Taxes. Acquiror or Radio shall be entitled to any Refund attributable to Taxes for which Acquiror or Radio is liable hereunder and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall elect to receive any such Refund as a cash refund rather than as a credit toward or reduction in future Taxes. To the extent that a Tax Authority requires CBS to apply or cause to be applied an overpayment of Taxes for which Acquiror or Radio (after the Effective Time) is liable under this Agreement as a credit toward or a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable by CBS in lieu of a Refund and such overpayment of Taxes, if received as a Refund, would have been payable by CBS to Acquiror or Radio pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), CBS shall pay such amount to Acquiror no later than the due date for filing the Tax Return for which such overpayment is applied. To the extent that a Tax Authority requires Acquiror or Radio (after the Effective Time) to apply or cause to be applied an overpayment of Taxes for which CBS is liable under this Agreement as a credit toward or a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable by Acquiror or Radio (after the Effective Time) in lieu of a Refund and such overpayment of Taxes, if received as a Refund, would have been payable by Acquiror or Radio to CBS pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), Acquiror shall pay such amount to CBS no later than the due date for filing the Tax Return for which such overpayment is applied. A Party receiving a Refund to which another Party is entitled hereunder shall pay such Refund to such other Party within 10 Business Days after such Refund is received or the benefit of such Refund is realized.

(b) In the event of an adjustment pursuant to a Final Determination relating to Taxes for which Acquiror and Radio, on the one hand, or CBS, on the other hand, are or is responsible pursuant to Article 2 which would have given rise to a Refund but for an offset against the Taxes for which the other Party or Parties are or may be responsible pursuant to Article 2 (the “Benefited Party”), then the Benefited Party shall pay to the other Party or Parties, within 10 Business Days of the Final Determination of such adjustment an amount equal to the amount of such reduction in the Taxes of the Benefited Party plus interest at the Prime Rate on such amount for the period from the filing date of the Tax Return that would have given rise to such Refund to the payment date.

(c) To the extent that the amount of any Refund under this Section 5.01 or Section 3.06 is later reduced by a Tax Authority or in a Tax Proceeding, such reduction shall be allocated to the Party to which such Refund was allocated pursuant to this Section 5.01 or Section 3.06, and an appropriate adjusting payment shall be made.

(c) Each of CBS, Radio and Acquiror represents and warrants that it knows of no fact (after due inquiry) that may cause the Tax treatment of the Distributions or the Merger to be other than the Tax-Free Status.

(d) CBS represents and warrants that neither it, nor any of its Affiliates has any plan or intent to take any action that is inconsistent with any statements or representations made in the Representation Letters. Acquiror represents that neither it, nor any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the Effective Time, the members of the Radio Group), has any plan or intent to take any action that is inconsistent with any statements or representations made in the Acquiror Representation Letters.

Section 6.02 Restrictions Relating to the Distributions.

(a) Neither Acquiror nor Radio shall, and neither will permit any of its Affiliates to, take or fail to take, as applicable, any action if such action or failure to act would be inconsistent with or cause to be untrue any statement, information, covenant or representation in the Acquiror Representation Letters.

19

(iii) neither Acquiror nor Radio shall enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent Acquiror or Radio or any other member of their respective Groups has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur (whether by (A) redeeming rights under a shareholder rights plan, (B) finding a tender offer to be a “permitted offer” under any such plan or otherwise causing any such plan to be inapplicable or neutralized with respect to any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, (C) approving any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, whether for purposes of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any similar corporate statute, any “fair price” or other provision of the charter or bylaws of Radio or Acquiror, as applicable, (D) amending its certificate of incorporation to declassify its Board of Directors or approving any such amendment, or otherwise),

(iv) neither Acquiror nor Radio (or any successor of Acquiror or Radio) will, or will agree to, merge, consolidate or amalgamate with any other Person (except as provided for under the Merger Agreement), provided that this Section 6.02(b)(iv) shall not apply to mergers, consolidations or amalgamations which do not result in Radio (or any successor) ceasing to exist as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

(v) Radio will not in a single transaction or series of transactions sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of (including in any transaction treated for federal income tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition), or permit any other member of the Radio Group to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets (including any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary) that, in the aggregate, constitute 30% or more of the gross assets of the Radio Active Trade or Business (such percentage to be measured based on fair market value as of the Distribution Date), in each case other than (A) sales, transfers or dispositions of assets in the Ordinary Course of Business, (B) any cash paid to acquire assets from an unrelated Person in an arm’s-length transaction, (C) any assets transferred to a Person that is disregarded as an entity separate from the transferor for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (D) any mandatory or optional repayment (or pre-payment) of any indebtedness of Radio or any member of the Radio Group, or (E) any sales, transfers or other dispositions of assets within the Radio SAG,

(vi) neither Acquiror nor Radio shall redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through an Affiliate) any stock, or rights to acquire stock, except to the extent such repurchases satisfy Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue Procedure by Revenue Procedure 2003-48),

(vii) neither Acquiror nor Radio will amend, or permit any other members of their respective Groups to amend, its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the voting rights of Radio Capital Stock or Acquiror Capital Stock (including, without limitation, through the conversion of one class of Radio Capital Stock or Acquiror Capital Stock into another class of Radio Capital Stock or Acquiror Capital Stock), or

(viii) neither Acquiror nor Radio shall take, or permit any other member of its respective Group to take, any other action or actions (including any action or transaction that would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with any representation made or to be made in the Acquiror Representation Letters) which in the aggregate (and taking into account the Merger, and any other transactions described in this subparagraph (b)) would be reasonably likely to have the effect of causing or permitting one or more Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or indirectly stock representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in Acquiror or Radio (or any successor) or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure to preserve the Tax-Free Status;

in each case, unless prior to taking any such action set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (viii), (A) Acquiror shall have requested that CBS obtain a private letter ruling (including a supplemental ruling, if applicable) from the IRS (a Post-Distribution Ruling) in accordance with Sections 6.03(a) and (c) of this Agreement to the effect that such transaction will not affect the Tax-Free Status and CBS shall have received such a Post-Distribution Ruling in form and substance satisfactory to CBS in its reasonable discretion, (B) Acquiror or Radio shall have provided CBS with an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance satisfactory to CBS in its reasonable discretion (and in determining whether an opinion is satisfactory, CBS may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions and any management representations used as a basis for the Unqualified Tax Opinion, and, for the avoidance of doubt, CBS may determine that no opinion would be acceptable to CBS if such a determination is reasonable) or (C) CBS shall have waived (which waiver may be withheld by CBS in its sole and absolute discretion) the requirement to obtain such Post-Distribution Ruling and/or Unqualified Tax Opinion.

Section 6.03 Procedures Regarding Post Distribution Rulings and Unqualified Tax Opinions.

(a) If Acquiror notifies CBS that it or Radio desires to take one of the actions described in Section 6.02(b) (a Notified Action”), CBS shall cooperate with Acquiror and use its reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain a Post-Distribution Ruling from the IRS or an Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting Acquiror or Radio, as applicable, to take the Notified Action, unless CBS shall have waived the requirement to obtain such ruling or opinion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CBS shall not be required to file or cooperate in the

 

21


filing of any Ruling Request for a Post-Distribution Ruling under this Section 6.03(a) unless Acquiror represents that (A) it has read the Ruling Request, and (B) all statements, information and representations relating to any member of the Acquiror Group, contained in such Ruling Request are (subject to any qualifications therein) true, correct and complete. Acquiror shall reimburse CBS for all reasonable costs and expenses, including out-of-pocket expenses and expenses relating to the utilization of CBS personnel, incurred by the CBS Group in obtaining a Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by Acquiror within ten Business Days after receiving an invoice from CBS therefor.

(b) Post-Distribution Rulings or Unqualified Tax Opinions at CBS’s Request. CBS shall have the right to obtain a Post-Distribution Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. If CBS determines to obtain a Post-Distribution Ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion, Acquiror and Radio shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) cooperate with CBS and take any and all actions reasonably requested by CBS in connection with obtaining the Post-Distribution Ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion (including, without limitation, by making any representation or covenant or providing any materials or information reasonably requested by the IRS or Tax Advisor; provided that Acquiror and Radio shall not be required to make (or cause any member of the Acquiror Group to make) any representation or covenant that is untrue or inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which matters or events they have no control). CBS shall reimburse Acquiror for all reasonable costs and expenses, including out-of-pocket expenses and expenses relating to the utilization of Acquiror personnel, incurred by the Acquiror Group in connection with such cooperation within ten Business Days after receiving an invoice from Acquiror therefor.

(c) Except as provided in Sections 6.03(a) and (b), following the Distribution Date, neither Acquiror nor Radio shall, nor shall either Acquiror or Radio permit their respective Affiliates to, seek any guidance from the IRS or any other Tax Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) at any time concerning any of the Distributions (including the impact of any other transaction on the Distributions) unless Acquiror and Radio shall have obtained the prior written consent of CBS, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 6.04 Liability for Separation Tax Losses.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or the Merger Agreement to the contrary (and in each case regardless of whether a Post-Distribution Ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion or waiver described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) of Section 6.02(b) may have been provided), but subject to Section 2.06 and Section 6.07, Acquiror and Radio shall be responsible for any Separation Tax Losses that are attributable to or result from any one or more of the following: (A) the acquisition following the Merger of all or a portion of either or both of Acquiror’s and/or Radio’s stock and/or of the Radio Group’s assets by any means whatsoever by any Person, (B) any negotiations, understandings, agreements or arrangements by either or both of Acquiror and/or Radio or any other member of their respective Groups (provided that, in the case of Radio or any other member of the Radio Group, such negotiations, understandings, agreements or arrangements follow the Merger) with respect to transactions or events (including, without limitation, stock issuances, whether pursuant to the exercise of stock options or otherwise, option grants, capital contributions or acquisitions, or a

 

22


series of such transactions or events), other than the Merger or any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, that cause any of the Distributions to be treated as part of a plan (which plan may include the Merger) pursuant to which one or more Persons acquire directly or indirectly stock of either or both of Acquiror and/or Radio representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest therein, as applicable, (C) any action or failure to act by either or both of Acquiror and/or Radio or any other member of their respective Groups (in the case of Radio or any member of the Radio Group, after the Merger) (including, without limitation, any amendment to such Person’s certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise) affecting the voting rights of either or both of Acquiror’s and/or Radio’s stock (including, without limitation, through the conversion of one class of Radio Capital Stock or Acquiror Capital Stock into another class of Radio Capital Stock or Acquiror Capital Stock, but not including the composition of the Acquiror Board (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as contemplated by Section 7.22(a) of the Merger Agreement), other than entering into the Merger or any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (D) any act or failure to act by either or both of Acquiror and/or Radio or any other member of their respective Groups that would affect the Tax-Free Status of the Distributions or Merger (regardless whether such act or failure to act may be covered by a Post-Distribution Ruling, Unqualified Tax Opinion or waiver described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) of Section 6.02(b)), other than entering into the Merger, or (E) any breach or inaccuracy by either or both of Acquiror and/or Radio or any other member of their respective Groups of any of their agreements or representations set forth herein; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an acquisition described in clause (A) of this Section 6.04(a), which acquisition is made in the open market by any person (x) who is not (i) a member of the Acquiror Group, (ii) an Affiliate of Acquiror, (iii) an officer or director of Acquiror, (iv) a controlling shareholder (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(h)(3)) of Acquiror, or (v) any other person acting with the implicit or explicit permission of Acquiror, and (y) who was not solicited to make such acquisition by any person described in subclauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this sentence, then Acquiror and Radio shall be responsible for only fifty percent (50%) of any Separation Tax Losses attributable to or resulting from such acquisition.

(b) To the extent that any Separation Tax Loss reasonably could be subject to indemnity under both Section 2.05 and Section 2.06, responsibility for such Separation Tax Loss shall be shared by CBS, on the one hand, and Acquiror and Radio, on the other hand, according to relative fault as determined by the Parties in good faith.

Section 6.05 Payment of Separation Taxes. Acquiror shall pay CBS the amount of any Separation Tax Losses for which Acquiror and Radio are responsible under Section 6.04 as a result of a Final Determination no later than 5 Business Days after the date such Separation Tax Losses are determined as a result of a Final Determination to be due.

Section 6.06 Protective Election. If CBS determines, in its reasonable discretion, that a protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code shall be made with respect to the Final Distribution, Acquiror and Radio agree to take any such action that is reasonably necessary to effect such election. If such a protective election is made, then this Agreement shall be amended in such a manner as is determined by the Parties to take into account the Tax Benefits resulting from such election.

 

23


Section 6.07 CBS Actions. If (a) (x) CBS waives, modifies or alters the condition in Section 2.2(a)(ii) of the Separation Agreement or the condition in Section 3.3(a)(ii) of the Separation Agreement and (y) CBS does not receive an opinion from Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, counsel to CBS, concluding at a comfort level of “should” or higher that each of the Distributions qualifies as a tax-free transaction under Section 355 of the Code, or (b) CBS takes, or fails to take, or permits any CBS Affiliate to take or fail to take, any action, and solely as a result of such action or failure to act, together with all other actions or failures to act by CBS and any CBS Affiliates, one or more of the Distributions would reasonably be expected to fail to have Tax-Free Status, then, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the Separation Agreement or the Merger Agreement to the contrary, (i) CBS shall promptly provide notice to Acquiror of such fact; (ii) the Distribution Tax Opinion shall no longer be considered valid or in effect for purposes of Section 3.03(c); (iii) Section 6.02(b) shall be of no force or effect; (iv) no member of the Acquiror Group or Radio Group shall be responsible for any Separation Tax Losses pursuant to Section 6.04 or otherwise; (v) no member of the Acquiror Group or Radio Group shall be liable under Section 2.05 for the breach of any representation or covenant because any of the Distributions fails to have Tax-Free Status; and (vi) the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to revise the Proposed Allocation or Final Allocation and to file any amended Tax Returns as required by Law.

Article 7. Assistance and Cooperation.

Section 7.01 Assistance and Cooperation.

(a) The Parties shall cooperate (and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate) with each other and with each other’s agents, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters relating to the Parties and their Affiliates, including (i) preparation and filing of Tax Returns, (ii) determining the liability for and amount of any Taxes due (including estimated Taxes) or the right to and amount of any Tax Benefit, (iii) examinations of Tax Returns, and (iv) any administrative or judicial proceeding in respect of Taxes assessed or proposed to be assessed. Such cooperation shall include making all information and documents in their possession relating to any other Party and its Affiliates available to such other Party as provided in Article 8. Each of the Parties shall also make available to any other Party, as reasonably requested and available, personnel (including officers, directors, employees and agents of the Parties or their respective Affiliates) responsible for preparing, maintaining, and interpreting information and documents relevant to Taxes, and personnel reasonably required as witnesses or for purposes of providing information or documents in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. Acquiror and Radio and each other member of their respective Groups shall cooperate with CBS and take any and all actions reasonably requested by CBS in connection with obtaining the Tax Opinions (including, without limitation, by making any new representation or covenant, confirming any previously made representation or covenant or providing any materials or information reasonably requested by any Tax Advisor or Tax Authority; provided that none of Radio, Acquiror or any other member of their respective Groups shall be required to make or confirm any representation or covenant that is inconsistent with historical facts or as to future matters or events over which matters or events it has no control).

 

24


(b) Any information or documents provided under this Article 7 shall be kept confidential by the Party receiving the information or documents, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Separation Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (i) neither CBS nor any CBS Affiliate shall be required to provide Radio, Acquiror or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person access to or copies of any information, documents or procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Contest) other than information, documents or procedures that relate solely to a member of the Radio Group, the Radio Business or the assets of Radio or any Radio Affiliate, (ii) neither Radio, Acquiror nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to provide CBS or any CBS Affiliate or any other Person access to or copies of any information, documents or procedures (including the proceedings of any Tax Contest) other than information, documents or procedures that relate solely to a member of the CBS Group, the CBS Business or the assets of CBS or any CBS Affiliate, (iii) in no event shall CBS or any CBS Affiliate be required to provide Radio, Acquiror, or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person access to or copies of any information or documents if such action would or reasonably could be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege, and (iv) in no event shall Radio, Acquiror or any of their respective Affiliates be required to provide CBS or any CBS Affiliate or any other Person access to or copies of any information or documents if such action would or reasonably could be expected to result in the waiver of any Privilege. In addition, in the event that CBS reasonably determines that the provision of any information or documents to Radio, Acquiror or any of their respective Affiliates, or Radio or Acquiror reasonably determines that the provision of any information or documents to CBS or any CBS Affiliate, could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement or waive any Privilege, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to permit each other’s compliance with its obligations under this Article 7 in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.

Section 7.02 Tax Return Information. Each of Radio, Acquiror and CBS, and each member of their respective Groups, acknowledges that time is of the essence in relation to any request for information, assistance or cooperation made by CBS, Acquiror or Radio pursuant to this Agreement. Each of Radio, Acquiror and CBS, and each member of their respective Groups, acknowledge that failure to conform to the deadlines set forth in this Agreement could cause irreparable harm. Each Party shall provide to the other Parties information and documents relating to its Group reasonably required by the other Parties to prepare Tax Returns, including any pro forma returns required by the Responsible Party for purposes of preparing such Tax Returns. Any information or documents the Responsible Party requires to prepare such Tax Returns shall be provided in such form as the Responsible Party reasonably requests and at or prior to the time reasonably specified by the Responsible Party so as to enable the Responsible Party to file such Tax Returns on a timely basis.

Section 7.03 Reliance by CBS. If any member of the Acquiror Group supplies information to a member of the CBS Group in connection with Taxes and an officer of a member of the CBS Group signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the CBS Group identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of Acquiror (or any officer of Radio or Acquiror as designated by the chief financial officer of Acquiror) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete.

Section 7.04 Reliance by Acquiror and Radio. If any member of the CBS Group supplies information to a member of the Acquiror Group or the Radio Group in connection with Taxes and an officer of a member of the Acquiror Group or the Radio Group, as applicable, signs a statement or other document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such information, then upon the written request of such member of the Acquiror Group or the Radio Group, as applicable, identifying the information being so relied upon, the chief financial officer of CBS (or any officer of CBS as designated by the chief financial officer of CBS) shall certify in writing that to his or her knowledge (based upon consultation with appropriate employees) the information so supplied is accurate and complete.

Article 8. Tax Records.

Section 8.01 Retention of Tax Records. Each Company shall preserve and keep all Tax Records and related work papers and other documentation in its possession as of the date hereof for so long as the contents thereof may become material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law, but in any event until the later of (i) the expiration of any applicable statutes of limitations, or (ii) seven years after the Distribution Date (such later date, the Retention Date”). After the Retention Date, each Company may dispose of such Tax Records upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the other Parties. If, prior to the Retention Date, (a) a Company reasonably determines that any Tax Records which it would otherwise be required to preserve and keep under this Article 8 are no longer material in the administration of any matter under the Code or other applicable Tax Law and the other Parties agree, then such first Party may dispose of such Tax Records upon 60 days’ prior notice to the other Parties. Any notice of an intent to dispose given pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall include a list of the Tax Records to be disposed of describing in reasonable detail each file, book, or other record accumulation being disposed. The notified Party shall have the opportunity, at its cost and expense, to copy or remove, within such 60-day period, all or any part of such Tax Records. If, at any time prior to the Retention Date, a Company determines to decommission or otherwise discontinue any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, then such Company may decommission or discontinue such program or system upon 60 days’ prior notice to the other Parties and the other Parties shall have the opportunity, at their cost and expense, to copy, within such 60-day period, all or any part of the underlying data relating to the Tax Records accessed by or stored on such program or system.

Section 8.02 Access to Tax Records. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall make available to each other for inspection and copying during normal business hours upon reasonable notice all Tax Records (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any pertinent underlying data accessed or stored on any computer program or information technology system) in their possession pertaining to (a) in the case of any Tax Return of the CBS Group, the portion of such return that relates to Taxes for which the Radio Group or the Acqiuror Group may be liable pursuant to this Agreement or (b) in the case of any Tax Return of the Radio Group or the Acqiuror Group, the portion of such return that relates to Taxes for which the CBS Group may be liable pursuant to this Agreement, and shall permit the other Parties and their Affiliates, authorized agents and representatives and any representative of a Tax Authority or other Tax

 

26


auditor direct access, at the cost and expense of the requesting Party, during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to any computer program or information technology system used to access or store any Tax Records, in each case to the extent reasonably required by the other Company in connection with the preparation of Tax Returns or financial accounting statements, audits, litigation, or the resolution of items under this Agreement.

Section 8.03 Preservation of Privilege. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall not provide access to, copies of, or otherwise disclose to any Person any documentation relating to Taxes existing prior to the Distribution Date to which Privilege may reasonably be asserted without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Article 9. Tax Contests.

Section 9.01 Notice. Each of CBS, Radio and Acquiror shall provide prompt notice to the other Parties of any written communication from a Tax Authority regarding any pending Tax audit, assessment or proceeding or other Tax Contest of which it becomes aware related to Taxes for Tax Period for which it reasonably expects to be indemnified by another Party hereunder or for which it reasonably may be required to indemnify another Party hereunder, or otherwise relating to the Tax-Free Status of the Distributions or the Merger (including the resolution of any Tax Contest relating thereto). Such notice shall attach copies of the pertinent portion of any written communication from a Tax Authority and contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect of any such matters. If an indemnified Party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such Party fails to give the indemnifying Party prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability and the indemnifying Party is entitled under this Agreement to contest the asserted Tax liability, then (i) if the indemnifying Party is precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified Party for any Taxes arising out of such asserted Tax liability, and (ii) if the indemnifying Party is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a material monetary detriment to the indemnifying Party, then any amount which the indemnifying Party is otherwise required to pay the indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

Section 9.02 Control of Tax Contests.

(a) CBS Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, CBS shall have the right to control any Tax Contest with respect to any Tax matters relating to (i) a Joint Return, (ii) any member of the CBS Group, (iii) any member of the Radio Group relating to the Pre-Distribution Period, and (iv) Separation Tax Losses. Subject to Sections 9.02(c) and (d), CBS shall have reasonable discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any such Tax Contest relating to a Radio Separate Return for a Straddle Period, and absolute discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any other such Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability.

 

27


(b) Acquiror Control. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.02, Acquiror shall have the right to control any Tax Contest with respect to any member of the Radio Group to the extent related solely to any Post-Distribution Period. Subject to Section 9.02(c) and (d), Acqiuror shall have absolute discretion with respect to any decisions to be made, or the nature of any action to be taken, with respect to any such Tax Contest, including exclusive authority with respect to any settlement of such Tax liability.

(c) Settlement Rights. The Controlling Party shall have the sole right to contest, litigate, compromise and settle any Tax Contest without obtaining the prior consent of the Non-Controlling Party; provided, however, that, to the extent any such Tax Contest may give rise to a claim for indemnity by the Controlling Party or its Affiliates against the Non-Controlling Party or its Affiliates under this Agreement, the Controlling Party shall not settle any such Tax Contest without obtaining the prior written consent of the Non-Controlling Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Subject to Section 9.02(e), and unless waived by the Parties in writing, in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest as a result of which adjustment the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement: (i) the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or proposed to be taken by the Controlling Party with respect to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (ii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party copies of any written materials relating to such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest received from any Tax Authority; (iii) the Controlling Party shall timely provide the Non-Controlling Party with copies of any correspondence or filings submitted to any Tax Authority or judicial authority in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; (iv) the Controlling Party shall consult with the Non-Controlling Party and offer the Non-Controlling Party a reasonable opportunity to comment before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with such potential adjustment in such Tax Contest; and (v) the Controlling Party shall defend such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith. The failure of the Controlling Party to take any action specified in the preceding sentence with respect to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party. In the case of any Tax Contest described in Section 9.02(a) or (b), “Controlling Party means the Company entitled to control the Tax Contest under such Section and “Non-Controlling Party means (x) CBS if Acquiror is the Controlling Party and (y) Acquiror if CBS is the Controlling Party.

(d) Tax Contest Participation. Subject to Section 9.02(e), and unless waived by the Parties in writing, the Controlling Party shall provide the Non-Controlling Party with written notice reasonably in advance of, and the Non-Controlling Party shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with Tax Authorities or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authorities in connection with any potential adjustment in a Tax Contest pursuant to which the Non-Controlling Party may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to the Controlling Party under this Agreement. The failure of the Controlling Party to provide any notice specified in this Section 9.02(d) to the Non-Controlling Party shall not relieve the Non-Controlling Party of any liability and/or obligation which it may

 

28


have to the Controlling Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Non-Controlling Party was actually harmed by such failure, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Non-Controlling Party from any other liability or obligation which it may have to the Controlling Party.

(e) CBS Consolidated Federal Income Tax Return. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 9 to the contrary, in the case of a Tax Contest related to (x) a CBS Federal Consolidated Income Tax Return or (y) any other consolidated, combined or unitary Income Tax Return that includes any member of the Radio Group, on the one hand, and any member of the CBS Group, on the other hand, (i) the rights of Acquiror and Radio and their respective Affiliates under Section 9.02(c) and Section 9.02(d) shall be limited in scope to the portion of such Tax Contest relating to Taxes for which Acquiror or Radio may reasonably be expected to become liable to make any indemnification payment to CBS under this Agreement, and (ii) CBS shall have exclusive authority with respect to the settlement of such Tax Contest and shall exercise such authority in good faith with respect to any adverse Tax impact regarding any member of the Acquiror Group for any Tax Period or Radio Group for any Post-Distribution Period.

(f) Power of Attorney. Each member of the Acquiror Group shall execute and deliver to CBS (or such member of the CBS Group as CBS shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document reasonably requested by CBS (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which CBS is the Controlling Party) described in this Article 9 within 2 Business Days of such request. Each member of the CBS Group shall execute and deliver to Acquiror (or such member of the Acquiror Group as Acquiror shall designate) any power of attorney or other similar document requested by Acquiror (or such designee) in connection with any Tax Contest (as to which Acquiror is the Controlling Party) described in this Article 9 within 2 Business Days of such request.

Article 10. Effective Date. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, as between CBS and Radio, this Agreement shall become effective upon the consummation of the Final Distribution, and as between CBS, Radio, and Acquiror, this Agreement shall become effective upon the consummation of the Merger.

Article 12. Treatment of Payments.

Section 12.01 Treatment of Tax Indemnity Payments. In the absence of any change in Tax treatment under the Code or except as otherwise required by other applicable Tax Law, any payment required by this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (other than (x) any payment of interest accruing after the Distribution Date or (y) any payment pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Merger Agreement) shall be reported for Tax purposes by the payor and the recipient as either a contribution by CBS to Radio or a distribution by Radio to CBS, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Final Distribution (but only to the extent the payment does not relate to a Tax allocated to the payor in accordance with Section 1552 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder or Treasury Regulation

 

29


Section 1.1502-33(d) (or under corresponding principles of other applicable Tax Laws)) or as payments of an assumed or retained liability. Except to the extent provided in Section 12.02, any Tax indemnity payment made by a Company under this Agreement shall be increased as necessary so that after making all payments in respect of Taxes imposed on or attributable to such indemnity payment, the recipient Company receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.

Section 12.02 Interest Under This Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent one Party (“Indemnitor”) makes a payment of interest to another Party (“Indemnitee”) under this Agreement with respect to the period from the date that the Indemnitee made a payment of Tax to a Tax Authority to the date that the Indemnitor reimbursed the Indemnitee for such Tax payment, the interest payment shall be treated as interest expense to the Indemnitor (deductible to the extent provided by Law) and as interest income by the Indemnitee (includible in income to the extent provided by Law). The amount of the payment shall not be adjusted to take into account any associated Tax Benefit to the Indemnitor or increase in Tax to the Indemnitee.

Article 13. Disagreements.

Section 13.01 Discussion. The Parties mutually desire that friendly collaboration will continue between them. Accordingly, they will endeavor, and they will cause their respective Group members to endeavor, to resolve in an amicable manner all disagreements and misunderstandings connected with their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, including any amendments hereto. In furtherance thereof, in the event of any dispute or disagreement between any member of the CBS Group and any member of the Acquiror Group as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the performance of obligations hereunder (a “Dispute”), the Tax departments of the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute.

Article 14. Late Payments. Any amount owed by one Party to another Party under this Agreement which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent, compounded semiannually, from the due date of the payment to the date paid. To the extent interest required to be paid under this Article 14 duplicates interest required to be paid under any other provision of this Agreement, interest shall be computed at the higher of the interest rate provided under this Article 14 or the interest rate provided under such other provision.

Article 15. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party and its Affiliates shall bear their own expenses incurred in connection with preparation of Tax Returns, Tax Contests, and other matters related to Taxes under the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 16.16 Injunctions. The Parties acknowledge that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 6.01 and Section 6.02, were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached.

All of the CBS Services shall be for the sole use and benefit of the Radio Business and all of the Radio Services shall be for the sole use and benefit of the CBS Business.

Section 2.02. Duration of Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of CBS and Entercom shall provide or cause to be provided to the respective Recipients each Service until the earlier to occur of, with respect to each such Service, (i) the expiration of the term for such Service (or, subject to the terms of Section 7.01(d), the expiration of any Service Extension) as set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B (each a “Schedule,” and, collectively, the “Schedules”) or (ii) the date on which such Service is terminated under Section 7.01(b).

Section 2.03. Additional Unspecified Services; Changes.

(a) After the date of this Agreement, if (i) (x) Entercom identifies a service (other than a Digital Service) that the CBS Group provided to the Radio Group prior to the Separation that Entercom reasonably needs in order for the Radio Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the Radio Business operated prior to the Separation, and such service was included on the initial draft of Schedule A provided by CBS prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement but thereafter removed, or (y) CBS identified a service (other than a Digital Service) that the Radio Group provided to the CBS Group prior to the Separation that CBS reasonably needs in order for the CBS Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the CBS Business operated prior to the Separation, and such service was included on the initial draft of Schedule B provided by CBS prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement but thereafter removed, and (ii) the requesting Party provides written notice to the other Party within 120 days following the date of this Agreement requesting such additional services, then such other Party shall provide such requested additional services (such requested additional services, the “Additional Services”). In connection with any request for Additional Services in accordance with this Section 2.03(a), the CBS Services Manager and the Radio Services Manager shall in good faith negotiate the terms of a supplement to the applicable Schedule, which terms shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, similar Services provided under this Agreement. Upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties, the supplement to the applicable Schedule shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, service period(s), termination provisions and other terms applicable to such Additional Services in a manner similar to that in which the Services are described in the existing Schedules. Each supplement to the applicable Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement, and the Additional Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

-4-


(b) After the date of this Agreement, if (i) a Recipient requests to increase, relative to historical levels prior to the Separation, the volume, amount, level or frequency, as applicable, of any Service provided by the Provider of such Service and (ii) such increase is reasonably determined by such Recipient as necessary for the Recipient to operate its businesses (such increases, the “Service Increases”), then such Provider shall consider such request in good faith; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any Service Increase, including because, after good-faith negotiations between the Parties, the Parties fail to reach an agreement with respect to the terms thereof (including with respect to Service Charges therefor) or if and to the extent such Service Increase would require a material increase in the resources dedicated by Provider to the Services. In connection with any request for Service Increases in accordance with this Section 2.03(b), the CBS Services Manager and the Radio Services Manager shall in good faith negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable Schedule, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, the applicable Service. Each amended Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement, and the Service Increases set forth therein shall be deemed a part of the “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c) The Parties may, in accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 2.03(c), agree to modify the terms and conditions relating to the performance of or payment for a previously agreed-upon Service in order to reflect, among other things, new procedures, processes or other methods of providing such Service (a “Service Modification”).

(i) Change Requests. In the event either of the Parties desires a Service Modification, the Party requesting the Service Modification will deliver a written description of the proposed Service Modification (a “Change Request”) to the other Party’s Services Manager. Unless the Party receiving the Change Request agrees to implement the Change Request as proposed, the Services Managers will meet in person or by telephone to discuss in good faith the Change Request no later than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Change Request to the other Party.

(ii) Approval of Recipient Change Requests. All Change Requests from a Recipient must be consented to by the applicable Provider’s Services Manager in writing before the Service Modification may be implemented. Such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the Parties agree that it is not unreasonable to: (i) withhold such consent to the extent that such proposed Service Modification would materially increase the resources provided by Provider after giving effect to the Change Request, or (ii) condition such consent on Recipient agreeing to bear any reasonable and documented increase in Provider’s cost of performance.

(iii) Approval of Provider Change Requests. All Change Requests from a Provider must be consented to by the applicable Recipient’s Service Manager in writing before the Service Modifications may be implemented. Such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the Parties agree that it is not unreasonable to: (i) withhold such consent to the extent that such proposed Service Modification would materially decrease the resources

 

-5-


provided by Provider or otherwise materially adversely affect Provider’s performance of the Services after giving effect to the Change Request, or (ii) condition such consent on Provider agreeing to bear any cost increases.

(iv) Implementation of Approved Change. If a Change Request is approved in accordance with this Section, the corresponding Schedule and the definition of Services will be deemed amended as agreed by the Parties to reflect the implementation of the Change Request as well as any conditions or other terms agreed upon by the Parties in writing.

Section 2.04. New Services. (a) From time to time during the term of this Agreement, either Party may request the other Party to provide additional or different services (other than Digital Services) which such other Party is not expressly obligated to provide under this Agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Services or Service Increases, the “New Services”). The Party receiving such request shall consider such request in good faith; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any New Services, including because, (i) after good faith negotiations between the Parties pursuant to Section 2.04(b), the Parties fail to reach an agreement with respect to the terms (including the Service Charges) applicable to the provision of such New Services or (ii) it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such New Service or if the provision of such New Service would significantly disrupt the operation of its businesses.

(b) In connection with any request for New Services in accordance with Section 2.04(a), the CBS Services Manager and the Radio Services Manager shall in good faith (i) negotiate the applicable Service Charge and the terms of a supplement to the applicable Schedule, which supplement shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, service period(s), termination provisions and other terms applicable to such New Services and (ii) determine any costs and expenses, including any start-up costs and expenses, that would be incurred by the Provider in connection with the provision of such New Services, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Recipient. Each supplement to the applicable Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement, and the New Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.05. Services Not Included. Except as expressly set forth on a Schedule, it is not the intent of the Provider to render, nor of the Recipient to receive from the Provider, professional advice or opinions, whether with regard to Tax, legal, treasury, finance, employment or other business or financial matters, technical advice, whether with regard to information technology or other matters, or the handling of or addressing environmental matters; the Recipient shall not rely on, or construe, any Service rendered by or on behalf of the Provider as such professional advice or opinions or technical advice; and the Recipient shall seek all third-party professional advice or opinions or technical advice as it may desire or need.

CBS shall notify Entercom of the appointment of a different CBS Services Manager or CBS Local Service Manager(s), if necessary, in accordance with Section 8.06.

(b) Entercom hereby appoints and designates the individual holding the Radio position set forth on Exhibit I to act as its initial services manager (the “Radio Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery of the Radio Services and have authority to act on Entercom’s behalf with respect to matters relating to this Agreement.

At such meetings, the Service Managers or Local Service Managers shall discuss the performance of the Services and any concerns of the Parties or a Party regarding such Services (including the provision of and payment for the Services provided under this Agreement, potential changes to systems or personnel used to perform the Service, and/or the status of the Parties’ transition efforts to achieve the Cutover).

Section 2.07. Personnel. (a) The Provider of any Service will make available to the Recipient of such Service such appropriately qualified personnel as may be necessary to provide such Service on the understanding that such personnel shall remain employed and/or engaged by the Provider. The Provider will have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to (i) designate which personnel it will assign to perform such Service and (ii) remove and replace such personnel at any time; provided, however, that any such removal or replacement shall not be the basis for any increase in any Service Charge or Reimbursement Charge payable hereunder or relieve the Provider of its obligation to provide any Service hereunder; and provided, further, that the Provider will use its commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disruption to the Recipient in the transition of the Services to different personnel.

 

-7-


(b) In the event that the provision of any Service by the Provider requires the cooperation and services of the personnel of the Recipient, the Recipient will make available to the Provider such personnel (who shall be appropriately qualified for purposes of so supporting the provision of such Service by the Provider) as may be necessary for the Provider to provide such Service on the understanding that such personnel shall remain employed and/or engaged by the Recipient. The Recipient will have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to (i) designate which personnel it will make available to the Provider in connection with the provision of such Service and (ii) remove and replace such personnel at any time; provided, however, that any directly resulting increase in costs to the Provider shall be borne by the Recipient and any directly resulting adverse effect to the provision of such Service by the Provider shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement; and provided, further, that the Recipient will use its commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disruption to the Provider in the transition of such personnel.

(c) No Provider shall be liable under this Agreement for any liabilities incurred by the Recipient Indemnified Parties that are primarily attributable to, or that are primarily a consequence of, any actions or inactions of the personnel of the Recipient, except for any such actions or inactions undertaken pursuant to the direction of the Provider.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall grant the Provider, or its employees or agents that are performing the Services, the right directly or indirectly to control or direct the operations of the Recipient or any member of its Group. Such employees and agents shall not be required to report to the management of the Recipient nor be deemed to be under the management or direction of the Recipient. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth herein as a Service (including any Additional Services, Service Increases or New Services) or otherwise expressly set forth in the Separation Agreement, another Ancillary Agreement or any other applicable agreement, no Provider or any member of its Group shall be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any service or goods to any Recipient or any member of its Group.

ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

Section 3.01. Software and Software Licenses. (a) If and to the extent requested by Entercom, CBS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Entercom in its efforts to obtain licenses (or other appropriate rights) to use, duplicate and distribute, as necessary and applicable, certain computer software necessary for CBS to provide, and the Radio Business to receive, CBS Services; provided that CBS shall not be required to pay any fees or other payments or incur any obligations or liabilities to enable Entercom to obtain any such license or rights (except and to the extent that Entercom advances such fees or payments to CBS); provided, further, that CBS shall not be required to seek broader rights or more favorable terms for Entercom than those applicable to CBS or Radio, as the case may be, prior to the Separation or as may be applicable to CBS from time to time hereafter; and, provided, further, that Radio shall bear only those costs that relate solely and directly to obtaining such licenses (or other

 

 

-8-


appropriate rights) in the ordinary course. The Parties acknowledge and agree that there can be no assurance that CBS’s efforts will be successful or that Entercom will be able to obtain such licenses or rights on acceptable terms or at all, and, where CBS enjoys rights under any enterprise or site license or similar license, the Parties acknowledge that such license typically precludes partial transfers or assignments or operation of a service bureau on behalf of unaffiliated entities. In the event that Entercom is unable to obtain such software licenses, the Parties shall work together using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an alternative software license to allow CBS to provide, and the Radio Business to receive, such CBS Services, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to the applicable Schedule to reflect any such new arrangement.

(b) If and to the extent requested by CBS, Entercom shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist CBS in its efforts to obtain licenses (or other appropriate rights) to use, duplicate and distribute, as necessary and applicable, certain computer software necessary for Entercom to provide, and CBS to receive, Radio Services; provided that Radio shall not be required to pay any fees or other payments or incur any obligations or liabilities to enable CBS to obtain any such license or rights (except and to the extent that CBS advances such fees or payments to Radio); provided, further, that Entercom shall not be required to seek broader rights or more favorable terms for CBS than those applicable to Radio or CBS, as the case may be, prior to the date of this Agreement or as may be applicable to Entercom from time to time hereafter; and, provided, further, that CBS shall bear only those costs that relate solely and directly to obtaining such licenses (or other appropriate rights) in the ordinary course. The Parties acknowledge and agree that there can be no assurance that Entercom’s efforts will be successful or that CBS will be able to obtain such licenses or rights on acceptable terms or at all, and, where Entercom enjoys rights under any enterprise or site license or similar license, the Parties acknowledge that such license typically precludes partial transfers or assignments or operation of a service bureau on behalf of unaffiliated entities. In the event that CBS is unable to obtain such software licenses, the Parties shall work together using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an alternative software license to allow Entercom to provide, and CBS to receive, such Radio Services, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to the applicable Schedule to reflect any such new arrangement.

(c) In the event that there are any costs associated with obtaining software licenses in accordance with this Section 3.01 that (i) would not be payable in the ordinary course, including in the form of a “transfer fee” or other similar fees or expenses payable by the Recipient or the Provider and (ii) would not have been payable by the Recipient or the Provider absent the need for a consent or waiver in connection with the license that the Recipient is seeking to obtain, such costs shall be borne by the Recipient.

(d) Except as otherwise permitted by the other Party in writing, each Party shall permit only its authorized Representatives, contractors, invitees or licensees to access the other Party’s facilities.

(e) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, each Party will: (i) use the facilities of the other Party solely for the purpose of providing or receiving the Services, as applicable, and not to provide goods or services to or for the benefit of any third party or for any unlawful purpose; (ii) comply with all reasonable policies and procedures governing access to and use of the other Party’s facilities made known to the accessing Party in advance, including, without limitation, all reasonable security requirements applicable to accessing the facilities and any systems, technologies, or assets of Buyer; (iii) instruct its Representatives, when visiting the other Party’s facilities, not to photograph or record, duplicate, remove, disclose, or transmit to a third party any of the other Party’s information, except as necessary to perform the Services; and (iv) return such space to the other Party in the same condition it was in prior to the accessing Party’s use of such space, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Section 3.03. Cooperation; Cutover.

At Recipient’s request, Provider shall meet with Recipient upon reasonable notice and at a mutually agreeable time, following such request to assist Recipient with the initial development of a plan for Cutover (the “Cutover Plan”) and shall, in good faith, provide Recipient with all information in the possession of Provider related to the Services reasonably requested by the Recipient that is necessary for the development and implementation of the

 

 

-10-


Cutover Plan. Recipient shall prepare a Cutover Plan with sufficient lead time in order to achieve a timely Cutover. Once the Cutover Plan is prepared, Recipient shall promptly provide Provider a copy of the Cutover Plan, and Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in implementing the Cutover Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Separation Agreement, any other Ancillary Agreement or any other applicable agreement.

With respect to any Provider systems that are used to store or process data or other information of Recipient, Provider shall maintain and implement the same backup, redundancy, and disaster avoidance and recovery policies and procedures as Provider does with respect to the systems it uses to store or process its own data and information. In the event there is a material security breach which could reasonably be expected to have resulted in unauthorized access to, or alteration, destruction or corruption of, any data or information of Recipient, Provider will notify Recipient of such breach immediately. The Provider will use diligent efforts to remedy such breach of security or unauthorized access in a timely manner.

ARTICLE IV

COSTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

Section 4.01. Costs and Disbursements. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Recipient of Services shall pay to the Provider of such Services a monthly fee for the Services (or category of Services, as applicable) (each fee constituting a “Service Charge” and, collectively, “Service Charges”) as listed on the Schedules hereto; provided that Entercom shall have a credit of $7,500,000 (the “Services Credit”), which credit shall be applied to the first $7,500,000 of Service Charges invoiced by CBS hereunder and provided, further, that the Services Credit shall expire one year after the Effective Time (the “Credit Termination Date”) and Entercom shall not be permitted to apply any of the Services Credit to any services invoiced by CBS to Entercom after the Credit Termination Date; and accordingly, Entercom shall have no obligation to pay any Service Charges until the aggregate Service Charges invoice exceeds $7,500,000. Subject to Section 4.01(b), the Service Charges shall be no greater than the transfer pricing or other internal cost allocation utilized by CBS for the Radio Services and the CBS Services prior to the Separation, as disclosed by CBS to Entercom prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement.

 

 

-11-


(b) During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Service Charge for any Services (or category of Services, as applicable) may increase to the extent of: (i) any increases mutually agreed to by the Parties, (ii) any Service Charges applicable to any Additional Services, Service Increases or New Services and (iii) any increase in the rates or charges imposed by any unaffiliated third-party provider that is providing Services, provided that, Provider shall provide Recipient with as much advance notice as is reasonably possible of any such increases imposed by a third-party provider. Together with any monthly invoice for Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with documentation to support the calculation of such Service Charges or any Reimbursement Charges.

(c) The Recipient shall reimburse the Provider for reasonable unaffiliated third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Provider or its Affiliates in connection with providing the Services (including necessary travel-related expenses) (each such cost or expense, a “Reimbursement Charge” and, collectively, “Reimbursement Charges”); provided, however, that any such cost or expense that is materially inconsistent with historical practice between the Parties for any Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall require advance approval of the Recipient. Any authorized travel-related expenses incurred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to the Recipient in accordance with the Provider’s then-applicable business travel policies made known to the Recipient.

(d) The Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges due and payable hereunder shall be invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars. The Recipient shall pay the amount of each monthly invoice by wire transfer (or such other method of payment as may be agreed between the Parties) to the Provider within sixty (60) days of the receipt of each such invoice, including appropriate documentation as described herein. In the absence of a timely notice of billing dispute in accordance with the provisions of Article VII of the Separation Agreement, if the Recipient fails to pay such amount by the due date, the Recipient shall be obligated to pay to the Provider, in addition to the amount due, interest at an annual default interest rate of three percent (3%), or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower (the “Interest Payment”), accruing from the date the payment was due through the date of actual payment. In the event of any billing dispute, the Recipient shall promptly pay any undisputed amount.

(e) Subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 8.03, each Party shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice from the other Party, any information within such Party’s or its Affiliates’ possession that the requesting Party reasonably requests in connection with any Services being provided to such requesting Party by an unaffiliated third-party provider, including any applicable invoices, agreements documenting the arrangements between such third-party provider and the Provider and other supporting documentation.

(a) Without limiting any provisions of this Agreement, the Recipient shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay (i) all excise, sales, use, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar Taxes and (ii) any related interest and penalties, excluding in each case any Taxes imposed on or measured by income (collectively, “Non-Income Taxes”), in each case imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of Services by the Provider. Upon the written request of the Provider, the Recipient shall submit evidence of payment of such Non-Income Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority. The Provider

 

-12-


agrees that it shall take commercially reasonable actions to cooperate with the Recipient in obtaining any refund, return, rebate or the like of any Non-Income Tax, including by filing any necessary exemption or other similar forms, certificates or other similar documents. The Recipient shall promptly reimburse the Provider for any unaffiliated third-party out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Provider or its Affiliates in connection with the Recipient obtaining a refund or overpayment of refund, return, rebate or the like of any Non-Income Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, any applicable income-based Taxes measured by or imposed on the income of the Provider that are imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of Services by the Provider shall be borne by the Provider, unless the Provider is required by law to obtain reimbursement of such Taxes from the Recipient.

(b) The Recipient shall be entitled to deduct and withhold Taxes required by any applicable law to be withheld on payments made pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent any amounts are so withheld, the Recipient shall (i) pay, in addition to the amount otherwise due to the Provider under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Provider will equal the full amount the Provider would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required, (ii) pay when due such deducted and withheld amount to the proper Governmental Authority and (iii) promptly provide to the Provider evidence of such payment to such Governmental Authority. The Provider shall, prior to the date of any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement, at the request of the Recipient, make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Recipient any certificate or other documentary evidence (x) required by applicable law or (y) which the Provider is entitled by applicable law to provide in order to reduce the amount of any Taxes that may be deducted or withheld from such payment, and the Recipient agrees to accept and act in reliance on any such duly and properly executed certificate or other applicable documentary evidence.

(c) If the Provider (i) receives any refund (whether by payment, offset, credit or otherwise) or (ii) utilizes any overpayment of Taxes that are borne by Recipient pursuant to this Agreement, then the Provider shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the Recipient an amount equal to the deficiency or excess, as the case may be, with respect to the amount that the Recipient has borne if the amount of such refund or overpayment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest or other amounts received with respect to such refund or overpayment) had been included originally in the determination of the amounts to be borne by Recipient pursuant to this Agreement, net of any additional Taxes the Provider incurs or will incur as a result of the receipt of such refund or such overpayment.

Section 4.03. No Right to Set-Off. Subject to Section 4.02(b), the Recipient shall timely pay the full amount of Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges and shall not set-off, counterclaim or otherwise withhold any amount owed to the Provider under this Agreement on account of any obligation owed by the Provider to the Recipient.

ARTICLE V

STANDARD FOR SERVICE

Section 5.01. Standard for Service.

(a) The Provider agrees to perform the Services in a good and workman-like manner, in compliance with all applicable Laws, and with substantially the same nature, quality, standard of care and service levels at which the same or similar services were performed by or on behalf of the Provider during the one-year period prior to the Separation or, if not so previously provided, then substantially similar to that which are applicable to similar services provided to the Provider’s Affiliates or other business components. Subject to Section 7.03, the Provider agrees to respond to any outage, interruption or other failure of which it is aware of a Service in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner in which such Provider or its Affiliates responded to any outage, interruption or other failure of the same or similar services during the one-year period prior to the Separation.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of applicable Law or any existing contract or agreement with a third party. If the Provider is or becomes aware of any potential violation on the part of the Provider, the Provider shall promptly send a written notice to the Recipient of any such potential violation. The Parties each agree to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary third-party consents required under any existing contract or agreement with a third party to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 5.01. Any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by either Party in connection with obtaining any such third-party consent that is required to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service shall be solely the responsibility of the Recipient. If, with respect to a Service, the Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain a required third-party consent, or the performance of such Service by the Provider would continue to constitute a violation of applicable Laws, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to provide such Services in a manner as closely as possible to the standards described in this Section 5.01 that would apply absent the exception provided for in the first sentence of this Section 5.01(b).

Section 5.02. Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AS-IS, THAT EACH RECIPIENT ASSUMES ALL RISKS AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, AND EACH PROVIDER, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT THERETO. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PROVIDER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE SERVICES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IN REGARD TO QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, NONINFRINGEMENT, COMMERCIAL UTILITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF ANY SERVICE FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

-14-


Section 5.03. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance and its subcontractors’ compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement. No Party will knowingly take any action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in liability being imposed on the other Party.

ARTICLE VI

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Separation Agreement or this Agreement, except with respect to a Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, neither Party shall be liable to the other Party or any of the other Party’s Affiliates or Representatives, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, at law or equity, for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages whatsoever (including lost profits or damages calculated on multiples of earnings approaches), which in any way arise out of, relate to or are a consequence of, its performance or nonperformance (or the performance or nonperformance of any of its Affiliates, Representatives and any unaffiliated third-party providers, in each case, performing obligations hereunder) under this Agreement or the provision of, or failure to provide, any Services under this Agreement, including with respect to loss of profits, business interruptions or claims of customers.

Section 6.02. Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to liabilities arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct, the liabilities of each Provider and its Affiliates and Representatives, collectively, under this Agreement for any act or failure to act in connection herewith (including the performance or breach of this Agreement), or from the sale, delivery, provision or use of any Services provided under or contemplated by this Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, at law or equity, shall not exceed the total aggregate Service Charges (excluding any Reimbursement Charges) actually paid to such Provider by the Recipient pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing limitations on liability in this Section 6.02 shall not apply to any breach of Section 8.03 and shall not limit any obligation to re-perform as set forth in Section 6.03. This Section 6.02 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.03. Obligation To Re-perform; Liabilities. In the event of any breach of this Agreement by any Provider with respect to the provision of any Services (with respect to which the Provider can reasonably be expected to re-perform in a commercially reasonable manner), the Provider shall (a) promptly correct in all material respects such error, defect or breach or re-perform in all material respects such Services in accordance with this Agreement at the request of the Recipient and at the sole cost and expense of the Provider and (b) subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, reimburse the Recipient and its Affiliates and Representatives for damages suffered by Recipient and its Affiliates that are attributable to such breach by the Provider. The remedy set forth in this Section 6.03 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Recipient for any such breach of this Agreement.

particular error, defect or breach, and such request must be made no more than one (1) month from the date such error, defect or breach becomes apparent or should have reasonably become apparent to the Recipient. This Section 6.03 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.04. Release and Recipient Indemnity. Subject to Section 6.01, each Recipient hereby releases the applicable Provider and its Affiliates and Representatives (each, a “Provider Indemnified Party”), and each Recipient hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each such Provider Indemnified Party from and against any and all liabilities arising from, relating to or in connection with: (a) the use of any Services by such Recipient or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or other Persons using such Services; or (b) the sale, delivery, provision or use of any Services provided under or contemplated by this Agreement, in the case of each of clause (a) and (b), except to the extent that such liabilities arise out of, relate to or are a consequence of the applicable Provider Indemnified Party’s (i) bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) breach of this Agreement.

Section 6.05. Provider Indemnity. Subject to Section 6.01, each Provider hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the applicable Recipient and its Affiliates and Representatives (each, a “Recipient Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all liabilities arising from, relating to or in connection with: (a) the use of any Services by such Recipient or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or other Persons using such Services; or (b) the sale, delivery, provision or use of any Services provided under or contemplated by this Agreement, in the case of each of clause (a) and (b), to the extent that such liabilities arise out of, relate to or are a consequence of the applicable Provider’s (i) bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) breach of this Agreement.

Section 6.06. Indemnification Procedures. The provisions of Article VI of the Separation Agreement shall govern claims for indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 6.07. Liability for Payment Obligations. Nothing in this Article VI shall be deemed to eliminate or limit, in any respect, CBS’s or Entercom’s express obligation in this Agreement to pay Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges for Services rendered in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 6.08. Exclusion of Other Remedies. The provisions of Sections 6.03, 6.04 and 6.05 of this Agreement shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Provider Indemnified Parties and the Recipient Indemnified Parties, as applicable, for any claim, loss, damage, expense or liability, whether arising from statute, principle of common or civil law, principles of strict liability, tort, contract or otherwise under this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 8.03.

ARTICLE VII

TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 7.01. Term and Termination. (a) This Agreement shall commence immediately after the Effective Time and shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the last date on which either Party is obligated to provide any Service to the other Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) the mutual written agreement of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in its entirety.

(b) Either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or from time to time with respect to the entirety of any individual Service, in its sole discretion, in the event of any Change of Control of Entercom, upon providing at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice.

(c) Without prejudice to a Recipient’s rights with respect to a Force Majeure, a Recipient may from time to time terminate this Agreement with respect to the entirety of any individual Service but not a portion thereof:

(i) for any reason or no reason, upon providing at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Provider; provided, however, that the Recipient shall pay to the Provider the necessary and reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Provider solely as a result of the early termination of such Service other than any employee severance and relocation expenses, but including sunken costs for the provision of the applicable Service which cannot be recovered, non-terminable contractual obligations under agreements used to provide such Service, any breakage or termination fees and any other termination costs payable by the Provider with respect to any resources or pursuant to any other third-party agreements that were used by the Provider to provide such Service (or an equitably allocated portion thereof, in the case of any such equipment, resources or agreements that also were used for purposes other than providing Services); provided, further, that Provider shall notify Recipient of all such costs prior to termination, and Recipient is given the option of rescinding the termination notice for a period of two (2) days following receipt of notice of such costs; or

(ii) if the Provider of such Service has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Service, and such failure shall continue to exist twenty (20) days after receipt by the Provider of written notice of such failure from the Recipient.

In the event that any Service is terminated other than at the end of a month, the Service Charge associated with such Service shall be pro-rated appropriately. The Parties acknowledge that there may be interdependencies among the Services being provided under this Agreement that may not be identified on the applicable Schedules and agree that, if the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement is materially and adversely affected by the termination of another Service in accordance with Section 7.01(c)(i) , then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Schedule relating to such affected continuing Service, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, comparable Services.

 

-17-


(d) In connection with the termination of any Service, if the Recipient reasonably determines that it will require such Service to continue beyond the date on which such Service is scheduled to terminate, the Recipient may extend such Service (any such extension, a “Service Extension”) for a specified period beyond the scheduled termination of such Service (which period (i) shall in no event be longer than one (1) year and (ii) shall in no event terminate later than two (2) years after the date of the Final Distribution) by written notice to the Provider no less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such scheduled termination on the same terms and conditions as such Service was provided prior to the Service Extension, provided that the Parties agree to negotiate any changes to such terms or conditions in good faith if so requested by a Party; provided, however; that (i) there shall be no more than one (1) Service Extension with respect to each Service and (ii) the Provider shall not be obligated to provide such Service Extension if a third-party consent is required and cannot be obtained by the Provider. Unless otherwise agreed to by Provider and Recipient, for the first ninety (90) days of a Service Extension, the Service Charge applicable to any such Service Extension shall be one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Service Charge applicable to such Service immediately prior to the Service Extension and after the first ninety (90) days of a Service Extension, the Service Charge applicable to any such Service Extension shall be one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of the Service Charge applicable to such Service immediately prior to the Service Extension; provided, however, that there shall be no increase in Service Charges for any Service Extension if the failure of the Recipient to achieve a timely Cutover with respect to such Service resulted from the Provider’s breach of Section 3.03. In connection with any request for Service Extensions in accordance with this Section 7.01(d), the CBS Services Manager and the Radio Services Manager shall in good faith (x) negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable Schedule, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of the applicable Service, and (y) determine the costs and expenses (other than Service Charges), if any, that would be incurred by the Provider or the Recipient, as the case may be, in connection with the provision of such Service Extension, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Party requesting the Service Extension. Each amended Schedule to implement a Service Extension, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and any Services provided pursuant to such Service Extensions shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 7.02. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of any Service pursuant to this Agreement, the Provider of the terminated Service will have no further obligation to provide the terminated Service, and the relevant Recipient will have no obligation to pay any future Service Charges relating to any such Service; provided, however, that the Recipient shall remain obligated to the relevant Provider for the (i) Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges owed and payable in respect of Services provided prior to the effective date of termination and (ii) any applicable charges described in Section 7.01(c)(i), which charges shall be payable only in the event that the Recipient terminates any Service pursuant to Section 7.01(c)(i). In connection with the termination of any Service, the provisions of this Agreement not relating solely to such terminated Service shall survive any such termination, and in connection with a termination of this Agreement, Article I, Article VI (including liability in respect of any indemnifiable liabilities under this Agreement arising or occurring on or prior to the date of termination), Article VII, Article VIII and all confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and liability for all due and unpaid Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges and any applicable charges payable pursuant to Section 7.01(c)(i), shall continue to survive indefinitely. For the avoidance of doubt, termination of any Service pursuant to this Agreement will not affect the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to any Common Agreements under the Separation Agreement.

 

-18-


Section 7.03. Force Majeure. (a) Neither Party (nor any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of a Force Majeure; provided, however, that (i) such Party (or such Person) shall have exercised commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of such Force Majeure on its obligations and, to the extent and as soon as possible and commercially reasonable, to remove such Force Majeure; and (ii) the nature, quality and standard of care that the Provider shall provide in delivering a Service after a Force Majeure shall be substantially the same as the nature, quality and standard of care that the Provider provides to its Affiliates with respect to such Service. In the event of an occurrence of a Force Majeure, the Party whose performance is affected thereby shall give notice of suspension as soon as reasonably practicable to the other stating the date and extent of such suspension and the cause thereof, and such Party shall resume the performance of such obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of such cause.

(b) During the period of a Force Majeure, the Recipient shall be entitled to permanently terminate such Service(s) (and shall be relieved of the obligation to pay Service Charges for such Services(s) throughout the duration of such Force Majeure) if a Force Majeure shall continue to exist for more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, it being understood that Recipient shall not be required to provide any advance notice of such termination to Provider or pay any charges in connection therewith.

ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 8.01. No Agency. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed in any way or for any purpose to constitute any Party as an agent of an unaffiliated party in the conduct of such other party’s business. A Provider of any Service under this Agreement shall act as an independent contractor and not as the agent of the Recipient in performing such Service, maintaining control over its employees, its subcontractors and their employees and complying with all withholding of income at source requirements, whether federal, national, state, local or foreign.

Section 8.02. Subcontractors. A Provider may hire or engage one or more subcontractors to perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such Provider shall use the same degree of care in selecting any such subcontractor as it would if such contractor was being retained to provide similar services to the Provider and (ii) such Provider shall in all cases remain primarily responsible for all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the scope of the Services, the standard for services as set forth in Article V and the content of the Services provided to the Recipient.

Section 8.03. Treatment of Confidential Information.

(a) The Parties shall not, and shall cause all other Persons providing Services or having access to information of the other Party that is confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”) not to, disclose to any other Person or use, except for purposes of this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided, however, that the Confidential Information may be used by such Party to the extent that such Confidential Information has been (i) in the public domain through no fault of such Party or any member of such Group or any of their respective Representatives, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation, or (iii) independently generated without reference to any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided, further, that each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law: (i) to its Representatives on a need-to-know basis in connection with the performance of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) in any report, statement, testimony or other submission required to be made to any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the disclosing Party; or (iii) in order to comply with applicable Law, or in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or formal or informal investigative demand issued to the disclosing Party in the course of any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding. In the event that a Party becomes legally compelled (based on advice of counsel) by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar judicial or administrative process to disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party, such disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement, and, to the extent reasonably practicable, cooperate with the other Party (at such other Party’s expense) to obtain a protective order or similar remedy to cause such Confidential Information not to be disclosed, including interposing all available objections thereto, such as objections based on settlement privilege. In the event that such protective order or other similar remedy is not obtained, the disclosing Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that has been legally compelled, and shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts (at such other Party’s expense) to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

(b) Each Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, protect the Confidential Information of the other Party by using the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of such as the Party uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature, but in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care.

(c) Each Party shall be liable for any failure by its respective Representatives to comply with the restrictions on use and disclosure of Confidential Information contained in this Agreement.

(d) Each Party shall comply with all applicable local, state, national, federal and foreign privacy and data protection Laws that are or that may in the future be applicable to the provision of Services under this Agreement.

Section 8.04. Further Assurances. Each Party covenants and agrees that, without any additional consideration, it shall execute and deliver any further legal instruments and perform any acts that are or may become necessary to effectuate this Agreement.

All of the CBS Services shall be for the sole use and benefit of the Radio Business and all of the Radio Services shall be for the sole use and benefit of the CBS Business.

Section 2.02. Duration of Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of CBS and Entercom shall provide or cause to be provided to the respective Recipients each Service until the earlier to occur of, with respect to each such Service, (i) the expiration of the term for such Service (or, subject to the terms of Section 7.01(d), the expiration of any Service Extension) as set forth on Schedule A or Schedule B (each a “Schedule,” and, collectively, the “Schedules”) or (ii) the date on which such Service is terminated under Section 7.01(b).

Section 2.03. Additional Unspecified Services; Changes.

(a) After the date of this Agreement, if (i) (x) Entercom identifies a digital service that the CBS Group provided to the Radio Group prior to the Separation that Entercom reasonably needs in order for the Radio Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the Radio Business operated prior to the Separation, and such digital service was included on the initial draft of Schedule A provided by CBS prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement (the “Initial Schedule A”) but thereafter removed, or (y) CBS identifies a digital service that the Radio Group provided to the CBS Group prior to the Separation that CBS reasonably needs in order for the CBS Business to continue to operate in substantially the same manner in which the CBS Business operated prior to the Separation, and such digital service was initially included on the initial draft of Schedule B provided by CBS prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement (the “Initial Schedule B”) but thereafter removed, and (ii) the requesting Party provides written notice to the other Party within 120 days following the date of this Agreement requesting such additional services, then such other Party shall provide such requested additional services (such requested additional services, the “Additional Services”). In connection with any request for Additional Services in accordance with this Section 2.03(a), the

 

-4-


CBS Services Manager and the Radio Services Manager shall in good faith negotiate the terms of a supplement to the applicable Schedule, which terms shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, similar Services provided under this Agreement. Upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties, the supplement to the applicable Schedule shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, service period(s), termination provisions and other terms applicable to such Additional Services in a manner similar to that in which the Services are described in the existing Schedules. Each supplement to the applicable Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement, and the Additional Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) After the date of this Agreement, if (i) a Recipient requests to increase, relative to historical levels prior to the Separation, the volume, amount, level or frequency, as applicable, of any Service provided by the Provider of such Service and (ii) such increase is reasonably determined by such Recipient as necessary for the Recipient to operate its businesses (such increases, the “Service Increases”), then such Provider shall consider such request in good faith; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any Service Increase, including because, after good-faith negotiations between the Parties, the Parties fail to reach an agreement with respect to the terms thereof (including with respect to Service Charges therefor) or if and to the extent such Service Increase would require a material increase in the resources dedicated by Provider to the Services. In connection with any request for Service Increases in accordance with this Section 2.03(b), the CBS Services Manager and the Radio Services Manager shall in good faith negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable Schedule, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, the applicable Service. Each amended Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement, and the Service Increases set forth therein shall be deemed a part of the “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c) The Parties may, in accordance with the procedures specified in this Section 2.03(c), agree to modify the terms and conditions relating to the performance of or payment for a previously agreed-upon Service in order to reflect, among other things, new procedures, processes or other methods of providing such Service (a “Service Modification”).

(i) Change Requests. In the event either of the Parties desires a Service Modification, the Party requesting the Service Modification will deliver a written description of the proposed Service Modification (a “Change Request”) to the other Party’s Services Manager. Unless the Party receiving the Change Request agrees to implement the Change Request as proposed, the Services Managers will meet in person or by telephone to discuss in good faith the Change Request no later than ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Change Request to the other Party.

(ii) Approval of Recipient Change Requests. All Change Requests from a Recipient must be consented to by the applicable Provider’s Services Manager in writing before the Service Modification may be implemented. Such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the Parties agree that it is not unreasonable to: (i) withhold such consent to the

 

-5-


extent that such proposed Service Modification would materially increase the resources provided by Provider after giving effect to the Change Request, or (ii) condition such consent on Recipient agreeing to bear any reasonable and documented increase in Provider’s cost of performance.

(iii) Approval of Provider Change Requests. All Change Requests from a Provider must be consented to by the applicable Recipient’s Service Manager in writing before the Service Modifications may be implemented. Such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the Parties agree that it is not unreasonable to: (i) withhold such consent to the extent that such proposed Service Modification would materially decrease the resources provided by Provider or otherwise materially adversely affect Provider’s performance of the Services after giving effect to the Change Request, or (ii) condition such consent on Provider agreeing to bear any cost increases.

(iv) Implementation of Approved Change. If a Change Request is approved in accordance with this Section, the corresponding Schedule and the definition of Services will be deemed amended as agreed by the Parties to reflect the implementation of the Change Request as well as any conditions or other terms agreed upon by the Parties in writing.

Section 2.04. New Services. (a) From time to time during the term of this Agreement, either Party may request the other Party to provide additional or different digital services which such other Party is not expressly obligated to provide under this Agreement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Services or Service Increases, the “New Services”). The Party receiving such request shall consider such request in good faith; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to provide any New Services, including because, (i) after good faith negotiations between the Parties pursuant to Section 2.04(b), the Parties fail to reach an agreement with respect to the terms (including the Service Charges) applicable to the provision of such New Services or (ii) it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such New Service or if the provision of such New Service would significantly disrupt the operation of its businesses.

(b) In connection with any request for New Services in accordance with Section 2.04(a), the CBS Services Manager and the Radio Services Manager shall in good faith (i) negotiate the applicable Service Charge and the terms of a supplement to the applicable Schedule, which supplement shall describe in reasonable detail the nature, scope, service period(s), termination provisions and other terms applicable to such New Services and (ii) determine any costs and expenses, including any start-up costs and expenses, that would be incurred by the Provider in connection with the provision of such New Services, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Recipient. Each supplement to the applicable Schedule, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement, and the New Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.05. Services Not Included. Except as expressly set forth on a Schedule, it is not the intent of the Provider to render, nor of the Recipient to receive from the Provider,

 

-6-


professional advice or opinions, whether with regard to Tax, legal, treasury, finance, employment or other business or financial matters, technical advice, whether with regard to information technology or other matters, or the handling of or addressing environmental matters; the Recipient shall not rely on, or construe, any Service rendered by or on behalf of the Provider as such professional advice or opinions or technical advice; and the Recipient shall seek all third-party professional advice or opinions or technical advice as it may desire or need.

Section 2.06. Digital Services Managers. (a) CBS hereby appoints and designates the individual holding the CBS position set forth on Exhibit I to act as its initial services manager (the “CBS Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery of the CBS Services and have authority to act on CBS’s behalf with respect to matters relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement. The CBS Services Manager will work with the personnel of the CBS Group to periodically address issues and matters raised by the Entercom Group relating to the provision of Services under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 8.06, all communications from the Entercom Group to CBS pursuant to this Agreement regarding routine matters involving a Service shall be made first through the individual specified as the local service manager (the “CBS Local Service Manager”) with respect to such Service on Schedule A or such other individual as may be specified by the CBS Services Manager in writing and delivered to Entercom by email or facsimile transmission with receipt confirmed; provided that, if the CBS Local Service Manager is not available, communication shall thereafter be made through the CBS Services Manager. CBS shall notify Entercom of the appointment of a different CBS Services Manager or CBS Local Service Manager(s), if necessary, in accordance with Section 8.06.

(b) Entercom hereby appoints and designates the individual holding the Radio position set forth on Exhibit I to act as its initial services manager (the “Radio Services Manager”), who will be directly responsible for coordinating and managing the delivery of the Radio Services and have authority to act on Entercom’s behalf with respect to matters relating to this Agreement. The Radio Services Manager will work with the personnel of the CBS Group to periodically address issues and matters raised by CBS relating to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 8.06, all communications from CBS to Entercom pursuant to this Agreement regarding routine matters involving a Service shall be made through the individual specified as the local service manager (the “Radio Local Service Manager”) with respect to such Service on Schedule B or as specified by the Radio Services Manager in writing and delivered to CBS by email or facsimile transmission with receipt confirmed; provided that if the Radio Local Service Manager is not available, communication shall thereafter be made through the Radio Services Manager. Entercom shall notify CBS of the appointment of a different Radio Services Manager or Radio Local Service Manager(s), if necessary, in accordance with Section 8.06.

(c) The Parties shall cause their respective Service Managers and/or Local Service Managers, as applicable, to meet (in person or by phone or videoconference) on a monthly basis during the Term, or with such other frequency as they may mutually agree in good faith as is necessary to support an orderly transition of the Radio Business. At such meetings, the Service Managers or Local Service Managers shall discuss the performance of the Services and any concerns of the Parties or a Party regarding such Services (including the provision of and payment for the Services provided under this Agreement, potential changes to systems or personnel used to perform the Service, and/or the status of the Parties’ transition efforts to achieve the Cutover).

 

-7-


Section 2.07. Personnel. (a) The Provider of any Service will make available to the Recipient of such Service such appropriately qualified personnel as may be necessary to provide such Service on the understanding that such personnel shall remain employed and/or engaged by the Provider. The Provider will have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to (i) designate which personnel it will assign to perform such Service and (ii) remove and replace such personnel at any time; provided, however, that any such removal or replacement shall not be the basis for any increase in any Service Charge or Reimbursement Charge payable hereunder or relieve the Provider of its obligation to provide any Service hereunder; and provided, further, that the Provider will use its commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disruption to the Recipient in the transition of the Services to different personnel.

(b) In the event that the provision of any Service by the Provider requires the cooperation and services of the personnel of the Recipient, the Recipient will make available to the Provider such personnel (who shall be appropriately qualified for purposes of so supporting the provision of such Service by the Provider) as may be necessary for the Provider to provide such Service on the understanding that such personnel shall remain employed and/or engaged by the Recipient. The Recipient will have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to (i) designate which personnel it will make available to the Provider in connection with the provision of such Service and (ii) remove and replace such personnel at any time; provided, however, that any directly resulting increase in costs to the Provider shall be borne by the Recipient and any directly resulting adverse effect to the provision of such Service by the Provider shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement; and provided, further, that the Recipient will use its commercially reasonable efforts to limit the disruption to the Provider in the transition of such personnel.

(c) No Provider shall be liable under this Agreement for any liabilities incurred by the Recipient Indemnified Parties that are primarily attributable to, or that are primarily a consequence of, any actions or inactions of the personnel of the Recipient, except for any such actions or inactions undertaken pursuant to the direction of the Provider.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall grant the Provider, or its employees or agents that are performing the Services, the right directly or indirectly to control or direct the operations of the Recipient or any member of its Group. Such employees and agents shall not be required to report to the management of the Recipient nor be deemed to be under the management or direction of the Recipient. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth herein as a Service (including any Additional Services, Service Increases or New Services) or otherwise expressly set forth in the Separation Agreement, another Ancillary Agreement or any other applicable agreement, no Provider or any member of its Group shall be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any service or goods to any Recipient or any member of its Group.

ARTICLE III

ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

Section 3.01. Software and Software Licenses. (a) If and to the extent requested by Entercom, CBS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Entercom in its efforts to obtain licenses (or other appropriate rights) to use, duplicate and distribute, as necessary and applicable, certain computer software necessary for CBS to provide, and the Radio Business to receive, CBS Services; provided that CBS shall not be required to pay any fees or other payments or incur any obligations or liabilities to enable Entercom to obtain any such license or rights (except and to the extent that Entercom advances such fees or payments to CBS); provided, further, that CBS shall not be required to seek broader rights or more favorable terms for Entercom than those applicable to CBS or Radio, as the case may be, prior to the Separation or as may be applicable to CBS from time to time hereafter; and, provided, further, that Radio shall bear only those costs that relate solely and directly to obtaining such licenses (or other appropriate rights) in the ordinary course. The Parties acknowledge and agree that there can be no assurance that CBS’s efforts will be successful or that Entercom will be able to obtain such licenses or rights on acceptable terms or at all, and, where CBS enjoys rights under any enterprise or site license or similar license, the Parties acknowledge that such license typically precludes partial transfers or assignments or operation of a service bureau on behalf of unaffiliated entities. In the event that Entercom is unable to obtain such software licenses, the Parties shall work together using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an alternative software license to allow CBS to provide, and the Radio Business to receive, such CBS Services, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to the applicable Schedule to reflect any such new arrangement.

(b) If and to the extent requested by CBS, Entercom shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist CBS in its efforts to obtain licenses (or other appropriate rights) to use, duplicate and distribute, as necessary and applicable, certain computer software necessary for Entercom to provide, and CBS to receive, Radio Services; provided that Radio shall not be required to pay any fees or other payments or incur any obligations or liabilities to enable CBS to obtain any such license or rights (except and to the extent that CBS advances such fees or payments to Radio); provided, further, that Entercom shall not be required to seek broader rights or more favorable terms for CBS than those applicable to Radio or CBS, as the case may be, prior to the date of this Agreement or as may be applicable to Entercom from time to time hereafter; and, provided, further, that CBS shall bear only those costs that relate solely and directly to obtaining such licenses (or other appropriate rights) in the ordinary course. The Parties acknowledge and agree that there can be no assurance that Entercom’s efforts will be successful or that CBS will be able to obtain such licenses or rights on acceptable terms or at all, and, where Entercom enjoys rights under any enterprise or site license or similar license, the Parties acknowledge that such license typically precludes partial transfers or assignments or operation of a service bureau on behalf of unaffiliated entities. In the event that CBS is unable to obtain such software licenses, the Parties shall work together using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an alternative software license to allow Entercom to provide, and CBS to receive, such Radio Services, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an amendment to the applicable Schedule to reflect any such new arrangement.

 

-9-


(c) In the event that there are any costs associated with obtaining software licenses in accordance with this Section 3.01 that (i) would not be payable in the ordinary course, including in the form of a “transfer fee” or other similar fees or expenses payable by the Recipient or the Provider and (ii) would not have been payable by the Recipient or the Provider absent the need for a consent or waiver in connection with the license that the Recipient is seeking to obtain, such costs shall be borne by the Recipient.

Section 3.02. Access to Facilities. (a) Entercom shall, and shall cause other members of the Entercom Group to, allow CBS and its Representatives reasonable access to the facilities of the Entercom Group necessary for CBS to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) CBS shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, allow Entercom and its Representatives reasonable access to the facilities of the CBS Group necessary for Entercom to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the other rights of access of the Parties under this Agreement, each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford the other Party, its Subsidiaries and Representatives, following not less than five (5) business days’ prior written notice from the other Party, reasonable access during normal business hours to the facilities, information, systems, infrastructure and personnel of the relevant Providers as reasonably necessary for the other Party to verify the adequacy of internal controls over information technology, reporting of financial data and related processes employed in connection with the Services, including in connection with verifying compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; provided, however, such access shall not unreasonably interfere with any of the business or operations of such Party or its Subsidiaries.

(d) Except as otherwise permitted by the other Party in writing, each Party shall permit only its authorized Representatives, contractors, invitees or licensees to access the other Party’s facilities.

(e) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, each Party will: (i) use the facilities of the other Party solely for the purpose of providing or receiving the Services, as applicable, and not to provide goods or services to or for the benefit of any third party or for any unlawful purpose; (ii) comply with all reasonable policies and procedures governing access to and use of the other Party’s facilities made known to the accessing Party in advance, including, without limitation, all reasonable security requirements applicable to accessing the facilities and any systems, technologies, or assets of Buyer; (iii) instruct its Representatives, when visiting the other Party’s facilities, not to photograph or record, duplicate, remove, disclose, or transmit to a third party any of the other Party’s information, except as necessary to perform the Services; and (iv) return such space to the other Party in the same condition it was in prior to the accessing Party’s use of such space, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Section 3.03. Cooperation; Cutover.

(a) It is understood that it will require the significant efforts of both Parties to implement this Agreement and to ensure performance of this Agreement by the Parties at the agreed-upon levels in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The

Parties will cooperate, acting in good faith and using commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a smooth and orderly transition of the Services provided under this Agreement from the Provider to the Recipient (including repairs and maintenance Services and the assignment or transfer of the rights and obligations under any third-party contracts relating to the Services); provided, however, that this Section 3.03 shall not require either Party to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses unless reimbursed by the other Party.

(b) Recipient shall be responsible for planning and preparing for the transition to its own internal organization or other third-party service providers the provision of all of the Services in a timely manner, such transition to be completed by the end of the Term (the “Cutover”). At Recipient’s request, Provider shall meet with Recipient upon reasonable notice and at a mutually agreeable time, following such request to assist Recipient with the initial development of a plan for Cutover (the “Cutover Plan”) and shall, in good faith, provide Recipient with all information in the possession of Provider related to the Services reasonably requested by the Recipient that is necessary for the development and implementation of the Cutover Plan. Recipient shall prepare a Cutover Plan with sufficient lead time in order to achieve a timely Cutover.

Section 3.04. Data Protection; System Security.

(a) The Provider shall only process personal data which it may receive from the Recipient, while carrying out its duties under this Agreement, (i) in such a manner as is necessary to carry out those duties, (ii) in accordance with the instructions of the Recipient, (iii) using appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent the unauthorized or unlawful processing of such personal data and/or the accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, such personal data and (iv) in compliance with all applicable Laws.

With respect to any Provider systems that are used to store or process data or other information of Recipient, Provider shall maintain and implement the same backup, redundancy, and disaster avoidance and recovery policies and procedures as Provider does with respect to the systems it uses to store or process its own data and information. In the event there is a material security breach which could reasonably be expected to have resulted in unauthorized access to, or alteration, destruction or corruption of, any data or information of Recipient, Provider will notify Recipient of such breach immediately. The Provider will use diligent efforts to remedy such breach of security or unauthorized access in a timely manner.

ARTICLE IV

COSTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

Section 4.01. Costs and Disbursements. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Recipient of Services shall pay to the Provider of such Services a monthly fee for the Services (or category of Services, as applicable) (each fee constituting a “Service Charge” and, collectively, “Service Charges”) as listed on the Schedules hereto.

(b) During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Service Charge for any Services (or category of Services, as applicable) may increase to the extent of: (i) any increases mutually agreed to by the Parties, (ii) any Service Charges applicable to any Additional Services, Service Increases or New Services and (iii) any increase in the rates or charges imposed by any unaffiliated third-party provider that is providing Services, provided that, Provider shall provide Recipient with as much advance notice as is reasonably possible of any such increases imposed by a third-party provider. Together with any monthly invoice for Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with documentation to support the calculation of such Service Charges or any Reimbursement Charges.

(c) The Recipient shall reimburse the Provider for reasonable unaffiliated third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Provider or its Affiliates in connection with providing the Services (including necessary travel-related expenses) (each such cost or expense, a “Reimbursement Charge” and, collectively, “Reimbursement Charges”); provided, however, that any such cost or expense that is materially inconsistent with historical practice between the Parties for any Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall require advance approval of the Recipient. Any authorized travel-related expenses incurred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to the Recipient in accordance with the Provider’s then-applicable business travel policies made known to the Recipient.

(d) The Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges due and payable hereunder shall be invoiced and paid in U.S. dollars. The Recipient shall pay the amount of each monthly invoice by wire transfer (or such other method of payment as may be agreed between the Parties) to the Provider within sixty (60) days of the receipt of each such invoice, including appropriate documentation as described herein. In the absence of a timely notice of billing dispute in accordance with the provisions of Article VII of the Separation Agreement, if the Recipient fails to pay such amount by the due date, the Recipient shall be obligated to pay to the Provider, in addition to the amount due, interest at an annual default interest rate of three percent (3%), or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower (the “Interest Payment”), accruing from the date the payment was due through the date of actual payment. In the event of any billing dispute, the Recipient shall promptly pay any undisputed amount.

(e) Subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 8.03, each Party shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice from the other Party, any information within such Party’s or its Affiliates’ possession that the requesting Party reasonably requests in connection with any Services being provided to such requesting Party by an unaffiliated third-party provider, including any applicable invoices, agreements documenting the arrangements between such third-party provider and the Provider and other supporting documentation.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) following the date of this Agreement, Entercom shall pay CBS the fees set forth in Note A to the Initial Schedule A, in accordance with the terms of such Note A (including with respect to the timing and amount of such fees), regardless of the level and type of services provided hereunder and (ii) Schedule B shall be in substantially similar form as set forth in the Initial Schedule B. This Section 4.01(f) and Note A to the Initial Schedule A shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.02. Tax Matters. (a) Without limiting any provisions of this Agreement, the Recipient shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay (i) all excise, sales, use, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar Taxes and (ii) any related interest and penalties, excluding in each case any Taxes imposed on or measured by income (collectively, “Non-Income Taxes”), in each case imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of Services by the Provider. Upon the written request of the Provider, the Recipient shall submit evidence of payment of such Non-Income Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority. The Provider agrees that it shall take commercially reasonable actions to cooperate with the Recipient in obtaining any refund, return, rebate or the like of any Non-Income Tax, including by filing any necessary exemption or other similar forms, certificates or other similar documents. The Recipient shall promptly reimburse the Provider for any unaffiliated third-party out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Provider or its Affiliates in connection with the Recipient obtaining a refund or overpayment of refund, return, rebate or the like of any Non-Income Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, any applicable income-based Taxes measured by or imposed on the income of the Provider that are imposed or assessed as a result of the provision of Services by the Provider shall be borne by the Provider, unless the Provider is required by law to obtain reimbursement of such Taxes from the Recipient.

(b) The Recipient shall be entitled to deduct and withhold Taxes required by any applicable law to be withheld on payments made pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent any amounts are so withheld, the Recipient shall (i) pay, in addition to the amount otherwise due to the Provider under this Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Provider will equal the full amount the Provider would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required, (ii) pay when due such deducted and withheld amount to the proper Governmental Authority and (iii) promptly provide to the Provider evidence of such payment to such Governmental Authority. The Provider shall, prior to the date of any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement, at the request of the Recipient, make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Recipient any certificate or other documentary evidence (x) required by applicable law or (y) which the Provider is entitled by applicable law to provide in order to reduce the amount of any Taxes that may be deducted or withheld from such payment, and the Recipient agrees to accept and act in reliance on any such duly and properly executed certificate or other applicable documentary evidence.

(c) If the Provider (i) receives any refund (whether by payment, offset, credit or otherwise) or (ii) utilizes any overpayment of Taxes that are borne by Recipient pursuant to this Agreement, then the Provider shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the Recipient an amount equal to the deficiency or excess, as the case may be, with respect to the amount that the Recipient has borne if the amount of such refund or overpayment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any interest or other amounts received with respect to such refund or overpayment) had been included originally in the determination of the amounts to be borne by Recipient pursuant to this Agreement, net of any additional Taxes the Provider incurs or will incur as a result of the receipt of such refund or such overpayment.

Section 4.03. No Right to Set-Off. Subject to Section 4.02(b), the Recipient shall timely pay the full amount of Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges and shall not set-off, counterclaim or otherwise withhold any amount owed to the Provider under this Agreement on account of any obligation owed by the Provider to the Recipient.

ARTICLE V

STANDARD FOR SERVICE

Section 5.01. Standard for Service.

(a) The Provider agrees to perform the Services in a good and workman-like manner, in compliance with all applicable Laws, and with substantially the same nature, quality, standard of care and service levels at which the same or similar services were performed by or on behalf of the Provider during the one-year period prior to the Separation or, if not so previously provided, then substantially similar to that which are applicable to similar services provided to the Provider’s Affiliates or other business components. Subject to Section 7.03, the Provider agrees to respond to any outage, interruption or other failure of which it is aware of a Service in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner in which such Provider or its Affiliates responded to any outage, interruption or other failure of the same or similar services during the one-year period prior to the Separation.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of applicable Law or any existing contract or agreement with a third party. If the Provider is or becomes aware of any potential violation on the part of the Provider, the Provider shall promptly send a written notice to the Recipient of any such potential violation. The Parties each agree to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary third-party consents required under any existing contract or agreement with a third party to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 5.01. Any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by either Party in connection with obtaining any such third-party consent that is required to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service shall be solely the responsibility of the Recipient. If, with respect to a Service, the Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain a required third-party consent, or the performance of such Service by the Provider would continue to constitute a violation of applicable Laws, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to provide such Services in a manner as closely as possible to the standards described in this Section 5.01 that would apply absent the exception provided for in the first sentence of this Section 5.01(b).

Section 5.02. Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AS-IS, THAT EACH RECIPIENT ASSUMES ALL RISKS AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, AND EACH PROVIDER, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT

Section 5.03. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance and its subcontractors’ compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement. No Party will knowingly take any action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in liability being imposed on the other Party.

ARTICLE VI

ARTICLE VII

TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 7.01. Term and Termination. (a) This Agreement shall commence immediately after the Effective Time and shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the last date on which either Party is obligated to provide any Service to the other Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) the mutual written agreement of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in its entirety.

(b) Either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or from time to time with respect to the entirety of any individual Service, in its sole discretion, in the event of any Change of Control of the other Party, upon providing at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice.

(c) Without prejudice to a Recipient’s rights with respect to a Force Majeure, a Recipient may from time to time terminate this Agreement with respect to the entirety of any individual Service but not a portion thereof:

(i) for any reason or no reason, upon providing at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Provider; provided, however, that the Recipient shall pay to the Provider the necessary and reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Provider solely as a result of the early termination of such Service other than any employee severance and relocation expenses, but including sunken costs for the provision of the applicable Service which cannot be recovered, non-terminable contractual obligations under agreements used to provide such Service, any breakage or termination fees and any other termination costs payable by the Provider with respect to any resources or pursuant to any other third-party agreements that were used by the Provider to provide such Service (or an equitably allocated portion thereof, in the case of any such equipment, resources or agreements that also were used for purposes other than providing Services); provided, further, that Provider shall notify Recipient of all such costs prior to termination, and Recipient is given the option of rescinding the termination notice for a period of two (2) days following receipt of notice of such costs; or

 

-17-


(ii) if the Provider of such Service has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Service, and such failure shall continue to exist twenty (20) days after receipt by the Provider of written notice of such failure from the Recipient.

In the event that any Service is terminated other than at the end of a month, the Service Charge associated with such Service shall be pro-rated appropriately. The Parties acknowledge that there may be interdependencies among the Services being provided under this Agreement that may not be identified on the applicable Schedules and agree that, if the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement is materially and adversely affected by the termination of another Service in accordance with Section 7.01(c)(i) , then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Schedule relating to such affected continuing Service, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of, and the pricing methodology used for, comparable Services.

(d) In connection with the termination of any Service, if the Recipient reasonably determines that it will require such Service to continue beyond the date on which such Service is scheduled to terminate, the Recipient may extend such Service (any such extension, a “Service Extension”) for a specified period beyond the scheduled termination of such Service (which period (i) shall in no event be longer than one (1) year and (ii) shall in no event terminate later than two (2) years after the date of the Final Distribution) by written notice to the Provider no less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such scheduled termination on the same terms and conditions as such Service was provided prior to the Service Extension, provided that the Parties agree to negotiate any changes to such terms or conditions in good faith if so requested by a Party; provided, further, that (i) there shall be no more than one (1) Service Extension with respect to each Service and (ii) the Provider shall not be obligated to provide such Service Extension if a third-party consent is required and cannot be obtained by the Provider. In connection with any request for Service Extensions in accordance with this Section 7.01(d), the CBS Services Manager and the Radio Services Manager shall in good faith (x) negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable Schedule, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of the applicable Service, and (y) determine the costs and expenses (other than Service Charges), if any, that would be incurred by the Provider or the Recipient, as the case may be, in connection with the provision of such Service Extension, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Party requesting the Service Extension. Each amended Schedule to implement a Service Extension, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and any Services provided pursuant to such Service Extensions shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 7.02. Effect of Termination. Upon termination of any Service pursuant to this Agreement, the Provider of the terminated Service will have no further obligation to provide the terminated Service, and the relevant Recipient will have no obligation to pay any future Service Charges relating to any such Service; provided, however, that the Recipient shall remain obligated to the relevant Provider for the (i) Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges owed

 

 

-18-


and payable in respect of Services provided prior to the effective date of termination and (ii) any applicable charges described in Section 7.01(c)(i), which charges shall be payable only in the event that the Recipient terminates any Service pursuant to Section 7.01(c)(i). In connection with the termination of any Service, the provisions of this Agreement not relating solely to such terminated Service shall survive any such termination, and in connection with a termination of this Agreement, Article I, Article VI (including liability in respect of any indemnifiable liabilities under this Agreement arising or occurring on or prior to the date of termination), Article VII, Article VIII and all confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and liability for all due and unpaid Service Charges and Reimbursement Charges and any applicable charges payable pursuant to Section 7.01(c)(i), shall continue to survive indefinitely. For the avoidance of doubt, termination of any Service pursuant to this Agreement will not affect the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to any Common Agreements under the Separation Agreement.

Section 7.03. Force Majeure. (a) Neither Party (nor any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of a Force Majeure; provided, however, that (i) such Party (or such Person) shall have exercised commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the effect of such Force Majeure on its obligations and, to the extent and as soon as possible and commercially reasonable, to remove such Force Majeure; and (ii) the nature, quality and standard of care that the Provider shall provide in delivering a Service after a Force Majeure shall be substantially the same as the nature, quality and standard of care that the Provider provides to its Affiliates with respect to such Service. In the event of an occurrence of a Force Majeure, the Party whose performance is affected thereby shall give notice of suspension as soon as reasonably practicable to the other stating the date and extent of such suspension and the cause thereof, and such Party shall resume the performance of such obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of such cause.

(b) During the period of a Force Majeure, the Recipient shall be entitled to permanently terminate such Service(s) (and shall be relieved of the obligation to pay Service Charges for such Services(s) throughout the duration of such Force Majeure) if a Force Majeure shall continue to exist for more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, it being understood that Recipient shall not be required to provide any advance notice of such termination to Provider or pay any charges in connection therewith.

ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 8.01. No Agency. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed in any way or for any purpose to constitute any Party as an agent of an unaffiliated party in the conduct of such other party’s business. A Provider of any Service under this Agreement shall act as an independent contractor and not as the agent of the Recipient in performing such Service, maintaining control over its employees, its subcontractors and their employees and complying with all withholding of income at source requirements, whether federal, national, state, local or foreign.

Section 8.02. Subcontractors.

Section 8.03. Treatment of Confidential Information.

(a) The Parties shall not, and shall cause all other Persons providing Services or having access to information of the other Party that is confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”) not to, disclose to any other Person or use, except for purposes of this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided, however, that the Confidential Information may be used by such Party to the extent that such Confidential Information has been (i) in the public domain through no fault of such Party or any member of such Group or any of their respective Representatives, (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group) which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation, or (iii) independently generated without reference to any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided, further, that each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law: (i) to its Representatives on a need-to-know basis in connection with the performance of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) in any report, statement, testimony or other submission required to be made to any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the disclosing Party; or (iii) in order to comply with applicable Law, or in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or formal or informal investigative demand issued to the disclosing Party in the course of any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding. In the event that a Party becomes legally compelled (based on advice of counsel) by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar judicial or administrative process to disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party, such disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement, and, to the extent reasonably practicable, cooperate with the other Party (at such other Party’s expense) to obtain a protective order or similar remedy to cause such Confidential Information not to be disclosed, including interposing all available objections thereto, such as objections based on settlement privilege. In the event that such protective order or other similar remedy is not obtained, the disclosing Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that has been legally compelled, and shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts (at such other Party’s expense) to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

(b) Each Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, protect the Confidential Information of the other Party by using the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of such as the Party uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature, but in any event no less than a reasonable degree of care.

(c) Each Party shall be liable for any failure by its respective Representatives to comply with the restrictions on use and disclosure of Confidential Information contained in this Agreement.

(d) Each Party shall comply with all applicable local, state, national, federal and foreign privacy and data protection Laws that are or that may in the future be applicable to the provision of Services under this Agreement.

2.2 Licensed Territory Uses. Under the license granted pursuant to Section 2.1, the Licensee may use the Licensed Property for the Licensed Services only in the United States (including its territories and possessions); provided, however, the Parties acknowledge that the Licensee is permitted to use the Licensed Property for terrestrial radio broadcasting, and related online, digital uses and Promotional Uses solely for providing the Licensed Services or the marketing and promotion thereof to users and consumers within the United States. The Licensee may not direct use of the Licensed Property to terrestrial radio, online or digital users or consumers outside the United States, provided that, to the extent permitted uses are directed to terrestrial radio, online or digital users or consumers in the United States and can be accessed or consumed by terrestrial radio, online or digital users or consumers outside the United States, the Licensee shall not be deemed in breach of Section 2.1 or this Section 2.2.

2.3 Prohibited Uses of Licensed Property. The Licensee may not use the Licensed Property for any good or service or in any manner that is: (a) pornographic or reasonably considered by Licensor as offensive; or (b) unlawful or obscene (as determined in accordance with applicable Federal Communications Commission standards). The Parties acknowledge and agree that all uses of the Licensed Property that are consistent with the uses of the Licensed Property by the Radio Business during the one-year period prior to the Effective Date are not prohibited by this Section 2.3.

2.4 Further Prohibited Uses of Licensed Property. The Licensee shall not use the Licensed Property to identify audio-visual content including news, sports, weather, traffic reporting or other videos or video services (including, video-on-demand or video streaming, syndication of video content or video streams, or any other distribution of audio-visual content), except to the extent so used by the Radio Business as of the Effective Date, such as (x) in simultaneous video streams or recordings that are created by the Licensee’s placement of

 

5


camera(s) in a terrestrial radio studio to capture the simultaneous broadcast of audio programming of a radio station owned and operated by the Licensee or (y) musical performances and associated music videos; or (z) audio-visual recordings of interviews streaming from or recorded at speaker series, panel discussions or conferences hosted by the Licensee (“Permitted Video Use”).

2.5 Permitted Sublicensees. In addition to Section 2.8(b), the Licensee may not license or authorize any other Person to use the Licensed Property, except that the Licensee may grant limited, non-assignable (including non-assignable in an Acquisition) sublicenses of its rights under Section 2.1 to those third parties who have been granted licenses or sublicenses of the Licensed Property by Licensor or any of its Affiliates in connection with the operation of the Radio Business prior to the Effective Date (provided that the sublicense to such third party is for uses substantially similar to those permitted by Licensor and its Affiliates during the one year period prior to the Effective Date), or to any third parties for which the Licensee obtains prior written consent of Licensor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, in each case, that (a) Licensee has sent Licensor written notice with detailed information regarding all proposed uses of the Licensed Property by such third party (including identification of all types of uses and media in connection with which the Licensed Property will be used); and (b) such third parties agree to comply with all terms and conditions hereunder applicable to the Licensee (each such third party approved by Licensor, a “Permitted Sublicensee”); provided that Licensor may terminate the purported sublicense to use the Licensed Property granted to any purported Permitted Sublicensee at any time if the transfer or assignment of such Licensed Property to such Permitted Sublicensee occurred in violation of the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.5.

For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee may engage manufacturers and service providers to apply the Trademarks to Licensee’s promotional goods of the types and in the manner used during the one year period prior to the Effective Date or otherwise use the Trademarks in connection with the advertising or marketing of Licensee’s goods or services solely at the direction and on behalf of the Licensee (e.g. t-shirt or banner manufacturer, or newspaper carrying an advertisement) without prior consent or approval from Licensor.

3 Licensee’s Use of the Licensed Property

3.1 Brand Guidelines and Logo Changes. The Licensee shall use the Trademarks in accordance with the Brand Guidelines, comply with all applicable Laws and the quality standards set forth in Section 3.3, and shall observe all reasonable directions given by the Licensor as to the representations of the Trademarks. The Licensee is not permitted to adopt any new visual representation of the Trademarks or to use, reproduce or represent any of the Trademarks in any form or manner that is not already in use by the Radio Business as of the Effective Date, unless prior written approval is provided by the Licensor, not to be unreasonably withheld. The Licensee shall adopt any new visual representation of the Trademarks that may be required from time to time by the Licensor upon reasonable prior written notice to Licensee.

3.2 Licensor’s Quality Control. The Licensee agrees to provide representative samples of any goods, services and materials to or in which the Licensed Property is affixed or incorporated, including marketing and promotional materials, audio recordings of content and all

 

7


other uses of the Licensed Property by the Licensee (whether written, electronic or recorded in any other medium), as reasonably requested by the Licensor. If at any time the Licensor notifies the Licensee in writing that a deficiency exists in the form, manner or quality of any goods, services or materials to or in which the Licensed Property is affixed or incorporated, the Licensee will use diligent efforts to remedy such deficiency promptly and provide the Licensor with evidence of same.

3.3 Licensee’s Obligations / Quality Control. In using the Licensed Property, the Licensee shall:

(a) maintain such quality standards for the Radio Business that are in place as of the Effective Date;

(b) not do any act which would reasonably be expected to dilute or materially weaken the strength of the Licensed Property, or render the Trademarks generic or invalid (it being understood that uses of the Licensed Property that are consistent with those uses by the Radio Business in use during the one year period prior to the Effective Date shall not be considered violations of this Section 3.3(b));

(c) conduct its business and operations in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the reputation of Licensor or its goodwill associated with the Licensed Property (it being understood that the conduct of the Radio Business in the manner in which it was conducted during the one year period prior to the Effective Date shall not be considered a breach of this Section 3.3(c));

(d) not perform any act or fail to act in any way that could reasonably be expected to injure, denigrate or otherwise, devalue the Licensed Property or the goodwill or reputation of the Licensor or any of the Licensor’s Affiliates (it being understood that the conduct of the Radio Business in the manner in which it was conducted during the one year period prior to the Effective Date shall not be considered a breach of this Section 3.3(d)). The Licensee hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Licensee’s employees and other personnel (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the employees and other personnel of its Permitted Sublicensees) do not make any offensive remarks, commit any criminal act, or commit any other act which could reasonably be expected to reflect unfavorably upon the Licensed Property or the Licensor or its Affiliates in any material respect; and, in the event of any such conduct, the Licensee will work with the Licensor to promptly minimize any resulting adverse impact on the Licensed Property and to remedy any such conduct (without limiting other remedies available to the Licensor under this Agreement); and

(e) not make any representation or do any act which may be taken to indicate that it has any right, title or interest in or to the ownership of any of the Licensed Property other than the licensed rights conferred by this Agreement.

3.4 Legal Lines. To the extent the legends, markings, and notices referred to below in this Section 3.4 were used by the Radio Business in connection with uses of the Trademarks prior to the Effective Date, the Licensee shall where reasonably practicable cause the following

 

8


legend to appear on all marketing and promotional materials on or in connection with which the Trademarks are used:

“The Eye Design® and CBS RADIO® are Registered Trademarks of CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.”

and/or such legends, markings, and notices as the Licensor may reasonably request in order to give appropriate written notice of any trademark, trade name or other rights therein; but failure to use such symbol shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement that could give rise to termination pursuant to Section 10.2. Licensee agrees that upon reasonable request from Licensor to add the aforementioned legend, Licensee will take all reasonable steps necessary to add such legend.

3.5 Domain Name Fees. The Licensee shall be responsible for all fees in connection with the registration of domain names that Licensor agrees to add to Schedule 1 as Domain Names, and registration and renewal of registration of the Domain Names during the Term and during the eighteen (18) months following the end of the Term for redirection as described in Section 3.6.

3.6 Domain Name Cooperation. Subject to the Licensee’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Licensor shall cooperate with the Licensee to enable the Domain Names to be directed to the appropriate servers for the websites relating to the Radio Business. Furthermore, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the end of the Term, Licensor agrees to maintain the registrations and redirect traffic from the Domain Names to new website addresses designated by Licensee, with an appropriate notice agreed to by the Parties indicating that the applicable web site addresses have changed.

3.7 Phase Out. The Licensee shall use all reasonable efforts to reduce its usage of the Licensed Property for which a license is granted pursuant to Article 2, including by completing the removal of the Licensed Property from all goods, services and materials in the Licensee’s possession or control, such that, as at the expiration of the Term, the Licensee will have ceased and discontinued all use of the Licensed Property in accordance with Section 10.4; provided that in the event of any de minimis use that continues after expiration or termination of the Term, Licensee shall quickly after becoming aware thereof discontinue such use, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.24(c) of the Merger Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensee shall not commence any new uses of the Licensed Property during the Term not expressly permitted hereunder by Section 2.1, unless approved in writing by the Licensor.

 

4 Ownership

4.4 If, in breach of this Agreement, the Licensee registers, or applies to register, any copyright, trademark, trade name, domain name or other designation identical or confusingly similar to the Licensed Property, “CBS” or the Eye Design, it shall immediately, at its cost, transfer the registration or application to the Licensor or, at the Licensor’s request, take all steps necessary to abandon, cancel or withdraw, as requested, such registration or application.

4.5 The Licensee agrees that it will not, nor authorize any other Person to, and it will ensure its Affiliates do not, nor authorize any other Person to, (a) subject to Section 2.5, use or (b) apply to register, any copyright, trademark, trade name, domain name or other designation identical or confusingly similar to, any of the Licensed Property, “CBS” or the Eye Design or any mark which combines the Licensed Property with any other trademark, trade name or domain name or other designation, unless permitted under another written agreement with Licensor to use a brand related to Licensor’s licensed content (e.g. CBS SPORTS RADIO).

Except to the extent that this Agreement shall benefit Acquiror, as set forth explicitly herein, and to the extent of any indemnification of any Licensee Indemnified Parties and Licensor Indemnified Parties, as set forth in Section 11, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Licensor and the Licensee and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

2 Grant of Rights

2.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and for no additional royalties or consideration apart from the consideration provided to CBS in connection with the Separation, each Licensor hereby grants to the Applicable Licensee (as set forth on Schedule 1) for the applicable Licensed Radio Station, a limited, non-exclusive (but subject to Section 2.6), non-assignable and non-transferrable (except as set forth in Section 12.7), non-sublicensable (except as set forth in Section 2.5) license in the Licensed Market (except as set forth in Section 2.2) for a period not to exceed the Term applicable to such use to:

(a) use the Trademarks as part of the Radio Station Branding including on terrestrial radio, online, digital and Promotional Use and distribution of the Radio Station broadcasts and simultaneous audio streams of the Radio Station broadcasts on audio-only media, and via audio-only technology and audio-only distribution methods now known or later developed during the Term, in each case solely to the extent used with a Radio Indicator for any audio use and any Permitted Video Use (except that de minimis use of the Trademarks in audio only content without a Radio Indicator (i.e. audio only use of “KYW News coming up on the hour”) is permitted hereunder);

 

6


(b) use the Trademarks as part of the Radio Station Call Letters solely to the extent used with a Radio Indicator (except that de minimis use of a shortened form of the trademarks “WCBS” and “KCBS” in audio-only content, solely to the extent used with a Radio Indicator but never as primary branding, is permitted hereunder); and

(c) subject to Section 3.6, use the Domain Names;

in each case under the foregoing (a)-(c) solely as used to identify the Station Business consistent with the manner and extent of such use as of the Effective Date (the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Licensed Services”); provided that Licensee shall take reasonable efforts to wind-down and cease such licensed use of the Eye Design as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, and the Licensed Property as required in order to meet its obligations under Sections 3.7 and 10.4, and, in any event, no later than the expiration of the applicable Term.

2.2 Licensed Market Uses. Under the license granted pursuant to Section 2.1, the Licensees may use the Licensed Property for the Licensed Services only in the Licensed Market; provided, however, the Parties hereto acknowledge that the Licensees are permitted to use the Licensed Property for terrestrial radio broadcasting, and related online, digital uses and Promotional Use for providing the Licensed Services and the marketing and promotion thereof to users and consumers which are solely directed to the Licensed Market and the Parties acknowledge that such broadcasts and related online, digital uses or Promotional Uses may be accessed or consumed by users or consumers outside the License Market (“Spill-Over Use”), and Licensees are permitted to use the Licensed Property for the Licensed Services directed outside the Licensed Market solely for joint promotions that involve other Licensed Radio Stations (“Multi Market Promotion”). Licensees may not direct use of the Licensed Property to terrestrial radio, online or digital users or consumers outside the Licensed Market, except Spill-Over Use and Multi Market Promotion will not be a breach of Section 2.1 nor this Section 2.2.

2.3 Prohibited Uses of Licensed Property.

The Licensees may use the Licensed Property only in the applicable Format and may not use the Licensed Property for any good or service or in any manner that is: (a) pornographic or reasonably considered by Licensors as offensive; or (b) unlawful or obscene (as determined in accordance with applicable Federal Communications Commission standards). The Parties acknowledge and agree that all uses of the Licensed Property that are consistent with the uses of the Licensed Property by the Radio Business during the one year period prior to the Effective Date are not prohibited by this Section 2.3.

2.4 Further Prohibited Uses of Licensed Property. The Licensees shall not use the Licensed Property to identify audio-visual content including news, sports, weather, traffic reporting or other videos or video services (including, video-on-demand or video streaming, syndication of video content or video streams, or any other distribution of audio-visual content), except (a) in simultaneous video streams or recordings that are created by a Licensee’s placement of camera(s) in a terrestrial radio studio to capture the simultaneous broadcast of audio programming of a Station Business; (b) in musical performances and associated music videos; (c) in audio-visual recordings of interviews streaming from or recorded at speaker series, panel discussions or conferences hosted by a Licensee, a Permitted Sublicensee, or a Licensed

 

7


Radio Station; and (d) use of promotional video on Social Digital Platforms provided that such video: (i) is less than two (2) minutes, (ii) is promotional of the Radio Business in nature and not a separately marketable video product, and (iii) is not a series or stream of news, traffic, sports or weather reporting including updates; in each case always used with a Radio Indicator (“Permitted Video Use”). To the extent that a Licensee wishes to create and distribute audio-visual content other than Permitted Video Use, the Licensee (i) may not use the Licensed Property or any term confusingly similar thereto in connection therewith and (ii) must develop and use a name to identify the applicable Station Business and other identifiers for such audio-visual content in each case that does not include (in whole or in part) the Licensed Property, the Eye Design or the name and trademark “CBS” or any term that is confusingly similar to any of the foregoing (e.g. for such uses, a Licensee may use a name such as “Newsradio 1060” but not “KYW Newsradio 1060”).

2.5 Permitted Sublicensees. In addition to Section 2.8, a Licensee may not license or authorize any other Person to use the Licensed Property, except that a Licensee may grant limited, non-assignable (including non-assignable in an Acquisition) sublicenses of its rights under Section 2.1 to any Affiliate providing support or services to such Licensee in connection with the applicable Station Business as well as to those third parties who have been granted licenses or sublicenses of the Licensed Property by Licensors or any of their Affiliates in connection with the operation of the Radio Business during the one year period prior to the Effective Date (provided that the sublicense to such third party is for uses substantially similar to those permitted by Licensors and their Affiliates during the one year period prior to the Effective Date), or to any third parties for which such Licensee obtains prior written consent of Licensors (which shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that (a) such Licensee has sent Licensors written notice with detailed information regarding all proposed uses of the Licensed Property by such third party (including identification of all types of uses and media in connection with which the Licensed Property will be used); and (b) such third parties agree to comply with all terms and conditions hereunder applicable to the Licensees (each a “Permitted Sublicensee”); provided that Licensors may terminate the purported sublicense to use the Licensed Property granted to any purported Permitted Sublicensee at any time if the transfer or assignment of such Licensed Property to such Permitted Sublicensee occurred in violation of the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.5. Notwithstanding the grant of any sublicenses, the Licensees shall remain liable for compliance by such Permitted Sublicensees with all terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to the Licensees and such terms and conditions shall be deemed to be applicable to each Permitted Sublicensee. For the avoidance of doubt, there is nothing in this Agreement that permits any Licensee’s use of Licensed Property at radio stations other than those listed on Schedule 1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensees may engage manufacturers and service providers to apply the Trademarks to Licensees’ promotional goods of the types and in the manners used prior to the Effective Date, or otherwise use the Trademarks in connection with the advertising or marketing of Licensees’ Licensed Services solely at the direction and on behalf of the Licensee (e.g. t-shirt or banner manufacturer or newspaper carrying an advertisement) without prior consent or approval from Licensor.

2.6 Licensors’ Restrictions. The Licensors agree not to use or license (or cause or induce or permit others to do so) any Licensed Property in connection with the operation of a

 

8


terrestrial radio network or with any Radio Indicators during the applicable Term for such Licensed Property, unless the right to use the Licensed Property is earlier terminated or assigned or sublicensed to a Divested Station. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensors’ use or license of (a) the Licensed Property (i) without Radio Indicators , or (ii) with relevant Radio Indicators as listed on Schedule 1 for Radio Stations where a Divested Station is licensed to use the same Trademarks as listed in the Trademarks column in Schedule 1 (e.g. KCBS-FM and WCBS-AM or WCBS Newsradio 880); and (b) the marks “CBS,” “CBS NEWS RADIO” or “CBS RADIO NEWS” (either alone or in combination with other symbols, words, phrases or logos) is not prohibited by the foregoing. The Licensors shall not grant consent to any third party to use any of the Licensed Property as call letters for a radio station, even if its status at the Federal Communications Commission would permit the Licensors to provide such consent except to a Divested Station.

2.7 Licensors’ Reserved Rights. All rights of the Licensors and their Affiliates not expressly granted by the Licensors to the Licensees pursuant to this Agreement are reserved without exception or limitation.

2.8 Licensees’ Acknowledgement Concerning the Licensed Property. Subject to Section 2.6 and the other CBS Brands License Agreements, the Licensees hereby acknowledge and agree that:

(a) No Claims Against CBS. For the avoidance of doubt, CBS and its Affiliates have the right to use and license (and Licensees shall not have any basis to object to or make claims against CBS or its Affiliates for their use or license of):

(i) the Licensed Property;

(ii) the Eye Design, “CBS,” “CBS NEWS RADIO” and “CBS RADIO NEWS”;

in the case of either (i) or (ii), either alone or in combination with other symbols, words, phrases or logos (including the Trademarks in combination with “TV” (e.g., “KYW-TV”) or any other term indicating audio or audio-visual content or other media) for any uses or licenses in connection with any goods and services (including domain names), whether known as of the date of this Agreement or created in the future, including use or license in association with any activities of CBS or its Affiliates’ television station brand names, such as WCBS and KCBS, and related activity and for any audio products or otherwise;

(iii) “CBS RADIO” and “CBS SPORTS RADIO” (which are subject to other CBS Brand License Agreements); or

(iv) any trademarks or domain names associated with Relevant Radio Stations not included under this Agreement.

 

9


(b) FCC Licenses. The Licensees shall not grant consent to any Person to use any of the Licensed Property as call letters, even if its status at the Federal Communications Commission would permit the Licensees to provide such consent.

(c) Risk of Confusion. The parties shall cooperate at Licensors’ cost (approved by Licensors in advance) with any reasonable requests of Licensors in connection with any Licensed Services that may create a risk of confusion with any current or anticipated business of CBS or any of its Affiliates.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 2.1, Licensees have no rights hereunder to use the Licensed Property without a Radio Indicator and all use of the Licensed Property hereunder by the Licensees (including any Promotional Use, domain names or other online or digital uses) shall be only in conjunction with a Radio Indicator.

 

3 Licensees’ Use of the Licensed Property

(a) The Licensees shall use the Trademarks in accordance with the Brand Guidelines as amended by the Licensors from time to time with written notice to the Licensees, shall observe all reasonable directions given by any Licensor as to the representations of the Trademarks, and shall adopt any new visual representation of the Trademarks that may be required from time to time by the Licensors upon reasonable prior written notice to Licensees (each a “Guideline Update”) and shall comply with all applicable Laws and the quality standards set forth in Section 3.3, provided that:

(i) any Guideline Update required by Licensors would not reasonably be expected to effectively prohibit the use of the Trademarks by Licensees;

(ii) if in any given 12 month period, the Guideline Updates for a License Radio Station, individually or in the aggregate, require Licensees to expend material funds or resources to implement, then Licensors may not require any further Guideline Updates for such Licensed Radio Station which Licensees reasonably expects would require, individually or in the aggregate, the expenditure of material funds or resources for the subsequent one year period; and

(iii) Licensee shall have six (6) months from receipt of Licensor’s notification of a Guideline Update to comply with such update, provided that Licensees shall use reasonable efforts to promptly complete all necessary changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensees shall not be required to implement any Guideline Update with respect to inventory, goods, material or other products existing as of the date Licensees were notified of such Guideline Update.

(b) The Parties anticipate that the Licensees may wish to alter the Radio Station Branding during the Term (in addition to the alterations contemplated by Section 3.7), and Licensees shall obtain Licensor’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) before adopting any new visual representation of the Trademarks or to use, reproduce or represent any of the Trademarks in any form or manner that is not already in use in the Station Businesses as of the Effective Date.

3.2 Licensors’ Quality Control. The Licensees agree to provide representative samples of any goods, services and materials to or in which the Licensed Property is affixed or incorporated, including marketing and promotional materials, audio recordings of content and all other uses of the Licensed Property by the Licensees (whether written, electronic or recorded in any other medium), as reasonably requested by the Licensors. If at any time a Licensor notifies a Licensee in writing that a deficiency exists in the form, manner or quality of any goods, services or materials to or in which the Licensed Property is affixed or incorporated, the Licensee will use diligent efforts to remedy such deficiency promptly and provide such Licensor with evidence of same.

3.3 Licensees’ Obligations / Quality Control. In using the Licensed Property, each Licensee shall at each Licensed Radio Station:

(b) not do any act which would reasonably be expected to dilute or materially weaken the strength of the Licensed Property or render the Trademarks generic or invalid (it being understood that uses of the Licensed Property that are consistent with those uses by the Radio Business in the one year period prior to the Effective Date shall not be considered a breach of this Section 3.3(b));

(c) conduct its business and operations in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to have adverse effect on the reputation of Licensors or their goodwill associated with the Licensed Property (it being understood that the conduct of the Radio Business in a manner consistent with how it was conducted during the one year period prior to the Effective Date shall not be considered a breach of this Section 3.3(c));

(d) not perform any act or fail to act in any way that could reasonably be expected to injure, denigrate or otherwise, devalue the Licensed Property, or the goodwill or reputation, of the Licensors or any of the Licensors’ Affiliates (it being understood that actions and inactions consistent with the conduct of the Radio Business during the one year period prior to the Effective Date shall not be considered breaches of this Section 3.3(d)). The Licensees hereby agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Licensees’ employees and other personnel (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the employees and other personnel of their Permitted Sublicensees) do not make any offensive remarks, commit any criminal act, or commit any other act which could reasonably be expected to reflect unfavorably upon the Licensed Property or the Licensors or their Affiliates in any material respect; and, in the event of any such conduct, the Licensees will work with the Licensors to promptly minimize any resulting adverse impact on the Licensed Property and to remedy any such conduct (without limiting other remedies available to the Licensors under this Agreement); and

12.9 Waivers. The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the Party entitled to enforce such term (each such entity, a “Waiving Entity”), but such waiver shall be effective only if it is in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Waiving Entity against which such waiver is to be asserted. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no delay or omission on the part of any Party in exercising any right or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any Party of any right or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other right or privilege under this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or privilege preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or privilege under this Agreement. No failure by any Party to take any action or assert any right or privilege hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of such right or privilege in the event of the continuation or repetition of the circumstances giving rise to such right unless expressly waived in writing by the entity against whom the existence of such waiver is asserted. The rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

12.10 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to either the Licensors or the Licensees. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Licensors and the Licensees shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Licensors and the Licensees as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

12.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except to the extent that this Agreement shall benefit Entercom, as set forth explicitly herein, and to the extent of any indemnification of any Licensee Indemnified Parties and Licensor Indemnified Parties, as set forth in Section 11, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Licensors and the Licensee and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by each Party in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

12.13 Rules of Construction. Interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the following rules of construction: (a) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context

CBS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF

CBS RADIO EXCHANGE OFFER

New York, NY—CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS) (“CBS”) today announced that its previously announced offer to shareholders to exchange their shares of CBS Class B common stock on a per-share-basis for 5.6796 shares of CBS Radio Inc. (“CBS Radio”) common stock expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 16, 2017, and based on preliminary results, the exchange offer was oversubscribed. The exchange offer to split-off CBS Radio is part of CBS’ agreement to combine its radio business with Entercom Communications Corp. (NYSE: ETM) (“Entercom”).

According to the exchange agent for the exchange offer, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 165,743,402 shares of CBS Class B common stock were tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, including 64,125,859 shares of CBS Class B common stock validly tendered and 101,617,543 shares of CBS Class B common stock that were tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery. CBS has accepted 17,854,689 of the tendered shares of CBS Class B common stock in exchange for 101,407,494 shares of CBS Radio common stock. In addition, following the merger, Entercom common stock will be eligible for issuance in respect of equity awards held by employees of CBS Radio in consideration of the replacement of their restricted stock units and stock options in CBS. Immediately following the consummation of the exchange offer, in connection with the merger of CBS Radio with a wholly owned subsidiary of Entercom, each share of CBS Radio common stock is being converted into the right to receive one share of Entercom Class A common stock (with cash in lieu of fractional shares).

Because the exchange offer was oversubscribed, CBS accepted tendered shares of CBS Class B common stock on a pro rata basis in proportion to the total number of shares tendered and not validly withdrawn. Shareholders who owned fewer than 100 shares of CBS Class B common stock, or an “odd lot,” and who validly tendered all of their shares, are not subject to proration in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer.

Based on the total number of shares of CBS Class B common stock that were reported as tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, it is estimated that approximately 10.12% of the tendered shares of CBS Class B common stock that are subject to proration will be exchanged for shares of CBS Radio common stock, assuming all shares tendered by guaranteed delivery procedures are delivered under the terms of the exchange offer. The preliminary proration factor is subject to change based on the number of tendered shares that satisfy the guaranteed delivery procedures.

 

1


CBS expects to announce the final proration factor as soon as possible following the expiration of the guaranteed delivery period, which will occur on November 20, 2017. Promptly after the final proration factor is announced, shares of CBS Class B common stock tendered but not accepted for exchange will be returned to the tendering shareholders in book-entry form. Also at that time, the exchange agent for the exchange offer will deliver to Entercom’s transfer agent a final shareholder list for CBS Radio common stock received by tendering CBS Class B common stock shareholders whose shares were accepted for exchange in the exchange offer. Entercom’s transfer agent will use the final shareholder list to credit such shareholders with an equal number of whole shares of Entercom Class A common stock. Fractional shares of Entercom Class A common stock due to tendering CBS Class B common stock shareholders will be aggregated and sold in the open market by Entercom’s transfer agent. Checks in lieu of fractional shares will thereafter be delivered to such tendering CBS Class B common stock shareholders by Entercom’s transfer agent.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain statements about CBS, CBS Radio and Entercom that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These matters involve risks and uncertainties as discussed in CBS’ and Entercom’s respective periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, filed from time to time with the SEC. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release may include statements about the expected effects on CBS, CBS Radio and Entercom of the separation of CBS’ radio business and merger of CBS Radio with an Entercom subsidiary (collectively, the “Transaction”); the anticipated benefits of the Transaction and CBS’, CBS Radio’s and Entercom’s anticipated financial results; and also include all other statements in this press release that are not historical facts. Without limitation, any statements preceded or followed by or that include the words “targets,” “plans,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “likely,” “may,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “positioned,” “strategy,” “future,” or words, phrases, or terms of similar substance or the negative thereof, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the current expectations of the management of CBS, CBS Radio and Entercom (as the case may be) and are subject to uncertainty and to changes in circumstances and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. In addition, these statements are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions include: the anticipated tax treatment of the Transaction and related transactions; risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, and future prospects; business and management strategies; the expansion and growth of Entercom’s operations; ongoing risks related to the price or trading volume of Entercom’s common stock; failure to pay dividends to holders of Entercom’s common stock; impairment charges for FCC licenses and goodwill; Entercom’s ability to integrate CBS Radio’s business successfully after the closing of the Transaction and to achieve anticipated synergies; and the risk that disruptions from the Transaction will harm CBS’, CBS Radio’s or Entercom’s businesses. However, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements included herein are made as of the date hereof, and none of CBS, CBS Radio or Entercom undertakes any obligation to update publicly such statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

CBS CORPORATION COMPLETES SPLIT-OFF OF CBS RADIO

CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS) today announced the completion of the split-off of CBS Radio Inc., which was merged with a subsidiary of Entercom Communications Corp. (NYSE: ETM) through a “Reverse Morris Trust” transaction. The closing of the merger followed the previously announced expiration of the Company’s exchange offer. As a result of the merger, participating CBS stockholders will receive one share of Entercom Class A common stock in exchange for each whole share of CBS Radio common stock they received in the exchange offer.

The transactions will enable CBS to retire approximately 17.9 million shares of CBS Class B common stock. The exchange offer and merger are generally expected to be tax-free to participating CBS shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

“The separation of our radio business is part of a broader strategy to make CBS even more focused on our content and all the ways we can monetize it,” said Leslie Moonves, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, CBS Corporation. “We started on this path several years ago with the split-off of our outdoor advertising business. And just as we did with outdoor, we believe our radio transaction will allow us to unlock more value for our shareholders and further grow our revenue. As a result, we think CBS will be even better positioned to take advantage of all the new growth opportunities before us, and we feel very good about our future as a pure content Company.”

In connection with the transactions, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is acting as financial advisor and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is acting as legal advisor to CBS.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release may include statements about the expected effects on CBS, CBS Radio and Entercom of the separation of CBS’ radio business and merger of CBS Radio with an Entercom subsidiary (collectively, the “Transaction”); the anticipated benefits of the Transaction and CBS’, CBS Radio’s and Entercom’s anticipated financial results; and also include all other statements in this press release that are not historical facts.

These statements are based on the current expectations of the management of CBS, CBS Radio and Entercom (as the case may be) and are subject to uncertainty and to changes in circumstances and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. In addition, these statements are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions include: the anticipated tax treatment of the Transaction and related transactions; the risk that disruptions from the Transaction will harm CBS’ business; risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, and future prospects; business and management strategies; advertising market conditions generally; changes in the public acceptance of CBS’ content; changes in technology and its effect on competition in CBS’ markets; changes in the federal communications laws and regulations; impairment charges for FCC licenses and goodwill; the impact of piracy on CBS’ products; the impact of the consolidation in the market for CBS’ content; the impact of negotiations or the loss of affiliation agreements or retransmission agreements; the impact of union activity, including possible strikes or work stoppages or CBS’ inability to negotiate favorable terms for contract renewals; and other domestic and global economic, business, competitive and/or other regulatory factors affecting CBS’ businesses generally. However, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements included herein are made as of the date hereof, and CBS does not undertake any obligation to update publicly such statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

CBS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FINAL RESULTS

OF CBS RADIO EXCHANGE OFFER

CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS) (“CBS”) today announced the final results of its offer to shareholders to exchange their issued and outstanding shares of CBS Class B common stock for shares of CBS Radio Inc. (“CBS Radio”) common stock owned by CBS as part of its agreement to combine CBS Radio with a subsidiary of Entercom Communications Corp. (NYSE: ETM) (“Entercom”).

The exchange offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 16, 2017. Under the terms of the offer, 5.6796 shares of CBS Radio common stock were exchanged for each share of CBS Class B common stock accepted in the offer. CBS accepted 17,854,689 of the tendered shares in exchange for 101,407,494 shares of CBS Radio common stock, which were immediately converted into the right to receive an equal number of whole shares of Entercom Class A common stock (with cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon completion of the merger, which closed on November 17, 2017. The exchange offer and merger are generally expected to be tax- free to participating CBS shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Because the exchange offer was oversubscribed, CBS accepted tendered shares of CBS Class B common stock on a pro rata basis in proportion to the total number of shares validly tendered and accepted for exchange. Shareholders who owned fewer than 100 shares of CBS Class B common stock, or an “odd lot” of such shares, and who validly tendered all of their shares, were not subject to proration in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer. The final proration factor of approximately 10.3721% was applied to all other shares of CBS Class B common stock that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn to determine the number of such shares that were accepted from each tendering shareholder.

Based on the final count by the exchange agent Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the final results of the exchange offer are as follows:

 

Total number of shares of CBS Class B common stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn:

     161,855,335  

Shares tendered and not validly withdrawn that were subject to proration:

     160,664,993  

“Odd-lot” shares tendered that were not subject to proration:

     1,190,342  

Total number of shares of CBS Class B common stock accepted:

     17,854,689

CBS CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollars in millions)

1) DECONSOLIDATION OF CBS RADIO

On November 16, 2017, the Company disposed of all of the shares of CBS Radio common stock that it owned through a tax-free split-off. The deconsolidation adjustments include (i) deconsolidating the historical assets and liabilities of CBS Radio, including the related tax impact, which were included in assets and liabilities of discontinued operations at September 30, 2017 and (ii) the reversal of consolidation entries as well as the reversal of the elimination of a $4 million receivable from CBS Radio as a result of the disposition.

2) SPLIT-OFF OF CBS RADIO

On November 16, 2017, the Company completed the split-off of CBS Radio through an exchange offer, in which CBS Corp. stockholders received 5.6796 shares of CBS Radio common stock for each share of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock accepted in the exchange offer. As a result, the Company accepted 17,854,689 shares of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock from its stockholders in exchange for the 101,407,494 shares of CBS Radio common stock that it owned. In the Merger each share of CBS Radio common stock outstanding immediately following the exchange offer was converted into one share of Entercom Class A common stock. The exchange ratio was calculated as the average price of CBS Corp. Class B Common Stock of $56.3629 per share divided by 93.0% of the average price of Entercom Class A common stock of $10.6707 per share, reflecting a discount of 7.0%. The average prices reflect the simple arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average price of shares of CBS Class B Common Stock and Entercom Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the three consecutive trading days ended on and including November 14, 2017. The calculated per-share value for CBS Radio common stock was based on the trading prices for Entercom Class A common stock because there is no trading market for CBS Radio common stock. The Company believes, however, that the trading prices for Entercom Class A common stock were an appropriate proxy for the trading prices of CBS Radio common stock since each outstanding share of CBS Radio common stock was converted into one share of Entercom Class A common stock in the Merger.

(Tabular dollars in millions)

 

The split-off is accounted for as a tax-free transaction and therefore, there is no tax impact. The net loss will be recorded in discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and as such it has not been reflected in the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations. The actual loss, which will be recorded during the fourth quarter of 2017, will be calculated based on the Company’s carrying value in CBS Radio as of the closing of the exchange offer on November 16, 2017 and therefore could be significantly different from this estimate.

3) EFFECTS OF CBS RADIO’S DEBT ISSUANCE ON SHARE REPURCHASES

On October 17, 2016, in connection with its planned separation from CBS Corp., CBS Radio incurred indebtedness of $1.460 billion, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.432 billion after deducting bank fees, discounts and commissions, and other expenses payable by CBS Radio incurred in connection therewith. CBS Radio distributed to its parent, a wholly owned subsidiary of CBS Corp., approximately $1.426 billion, which is an amount equal to the net proceeds of the CBS Radio borrowing, prior to deducting expenses payable by CBS Radio, less $10 million which remained with CBS Radio to use for general corporate purposes and ongoing cash needs. The Company used the proceeds from the debt issuance to repurchase approximately 24 million shares of its Class B Common Stock. The pro forma adjustment to “weighted average number of common shares outstanding” for the year ended December 31, 2016 assumes that the debt issuance occurred on January 1, 2016 and the Company repurchased these shares on such date.
