1.2 Duration and Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions

of immediately available funds in accordance with wire instructions that

The Company agrees that such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued to the
Warrantholder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of
business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and
payment made for the Warrant Shares as aforesaid.
1.3 Limitations on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, this Warrant may be exercised only upon (i) the delivery to the Company
of any certificates, legal opinions, and other documents reasonably requested by
the Company to satisfy the Company that the proposed exercise of this Warrant
may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, (ii) receipt by
the Company of FCC approval of the proposed exercise, if such approval is
required (as determined by a written opinion of the Company's special FCC
counsel,
3
delivered to the Warrantholder) to maintain any license granted to the Company
by the FCC, or to maintain the Company's eligibility for any FCC license for
which it has applied, or reasonably expects to apply, for, (iii) in the event
that the acquisition of the Warrant Shares is subject to the provisions of the
HSR Act, any person or entity required to file a notification and report in

waiting period with respect to such form (including any extension thereof by
reason of a request for additional information) shall have expired or been
terminated, and (iv) receipt by the Company of approval of any other applicable
Governmental Authority of the proposed exercise. The Warrantholder shall not be
entitled to exercise this Warrant, or any part thereof, unless and until such

opinions and other documents, if required, shall be borne by the Warrantholder.

exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the stock
certificate or certificates, deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant
evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining Warrant Shares, which new
Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
1.5 Payment of Taxes. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall
be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any documentary, stamp or
similar stock transfer or other issuance tax in respect thereto; provided that
the Warrantholder shall be required to pay any and all taxes which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
certificate in a name other than that of the then Warrantholder as reflected
upon the books of the Company.
1.6 Divisibility of Warrant; Transfer of Warrant. (a) This Warrant may only
be transferred by the Warrantholder with the prior written consent of the
Company; provided that the Warrantholder shall have the right to transfer this
Warrant to any wholly-owned subsidiary of the original Warrantholder. Except as
set forth above, any transfer of this Warrant without the prior written consent
of the Company shall be void and of no force and effect. Except as set forth
above, the Warrantholder expressly agrees not to sell, transfer, assign or
otherwise dispose of any of the Warrant Shares until the first anniversary of
the acquisition of such Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant without the
prior written consent of the Company.
(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section, this Warrant may be divided
into warrants of one thousand shares or multiples thereof, upon surrender at the
office of the Company located at 1221 Avenue of the Xxxxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx
Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, without charge to any Warrantholder. Subject to the
provisions of this Section, upon such division, the Warrants may be transferred

Warrantholder (other than any applicable transfer taxes).

Warrant to the Company with a duly executed Assignment Form and funds sufficient
to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver
a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor in the name of the assignee named in
such Assignment Form, and this Warrant shall promptly be
4
canceled. Prior to any proposed transfer (whether as the result of a division or
otherwise) of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall give written notice to the
Company of the Warrantholder's intention to effect such transfer. Each such
notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in
sufficient detail, and, if requested by the Company, shall be accompanied by a
written opinion of legal counsel, which opinion shall be addressed to the
Company and be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to
the effect that the proposed transfer of this Warrant may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act. In addition to the restrictions contained
in this Section, the Warrantholder shall not be entitled to transfer this
Warrant, or any part thereof, if such legal opinion is not reasonably acceptable
to the Company. The term "Warrant" as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to
include any Warrants issued in substitution or exchange for this Warrant.

Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2, each Warrant shall (and
each Warrant issued upon direct or indirect transfer or in substitution for any
Warrant pursuant to Section 1.6 or Section 4 shall) be stamped or otherwise
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS WARRANT AND ANY SECURITIES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS
WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR SUCH
SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.
Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2, each stock certificate for
Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrant and each stock
certificate issued upon the direct or indirect transfer of any such Warrant
Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE

OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS
OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrantholder may require the Company to
issue a Warrant or a stock certificate for Warrant Shares, in each case without
a legend, if either (i) such Warrant or such Warrant Shares, as the case may be,
have been registered for resale under the Securities Act or (ii) the
Warrantholder has delivered to the Company an opinion of legal counsel, which
opinion shall be addressed to the Company and be reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Company, to the effect that such registration is not
required with respect to such Warrant or such Warrant Shares, as the case may
be.
5
By acceptance of this Warrant, the Warrantholder expressly agrees that it
will at all times comply with the restrictions contained in Rule 144(e) under
the Securities Act (as in effect on the date hereof) when selling, transferring
or otherwise disposing Warrant Shares, even if such restrictions would not then
be applicable to the Warrantholder.
3. Reservation and Registration of Shares, Etc. The Company covenants and
agrees as follows:
(a) all Warrant Shares which are issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable, not subject to any preemptive rights, and free from all
taxes, liens, security interests, charges, and other encumbrances with
respect to the issue thereof, other than taxes with respect to any transfer
occurring contemporaneously with such issue;
(b) during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the
Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, and keep available
free from preemptive rights and any liens and encumbrances, a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant; and
(c) the Company will, from time to time, take all such action as may
be required to assure that the par value per share of the Warrant Shares is
at all times equal to or less than the then effective Exercise Price.
4. Loss or Destruction of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of
loss, theft or destruction, of such bond or indemnification as the Company may
reasonably require, and, in the case of such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant
of like tenor.
5. Ownership of Warrant. The Company may deem and treat the Person in whose
name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding
any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the
Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer.
6. Certain Adjustments.
6.1 The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends. If at any time after the date of the issuance of
this Warrant (i) the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of
any stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock; or (ii) the number of
shares of Common Stock shall have been increased by a subdivision or
split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, on the record date fixed for the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend
or immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or split-up, as
the
6
case may be, the number of shares to be delivered upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be increased so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to
receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such Warrantholder would
have owned immediately following such action had this Warrant been
exercised immediately prior thereto, and the Exercise Price shall be
adjusted as provided below in paragraph (g).
(b) Combination of Stock. If the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any time after the date of the issuance of this Warrant
shall have been decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, then, immediately after the effective date of such
combination, the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased so that the Warrantholder
thereafter shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common
Stock that such Warrantholder would have owned immediately following such
action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto, and the
Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided below in paragraph (g).
(c) Reorganization, etc. If any capital reorganization of the Company,
any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation of the Company
with or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, or any sale or
lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company to any other Person, shall be effected in such a way that the
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other
securities or assets (whether such stock, other securities or assets are
issued or distributed by the Company or another Person) with respect to or
in exchange for Common Stock, then, upon exercise of this Warrant, the
Warrantholder shall have the right to receive the kind and amount of stock,
other securities or assets receivable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lease or other transfer by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Warrantholder
would have been entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant had this
Warrant been exercised immediately before such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lease or other transfer,
subject to adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. The Company
shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, lease or other
transfer, unless prior to, or simultaneously with, the consummation
thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting from
such consolidation or merger, or such Person purchasing, leasing or
otherwise acquiring such assets, shall assume, by written instrument, the
obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder the shares of stock, securities
or assets to which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the
Warrantholder may be entitled and all other obligations of the Company
under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply to
successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers,
sales, leasing transactions and other transfers.
(d) Distributions to all Holders of Common Stock. If the Company
shall, at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant, fix a record
date to distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital
stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (not including regular quarterly cash dividends and
distributions paid from retained earnings of the Company) or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities, then the
Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant,
that portion of such distribution to
7
which it would have been entitled had the Warrantholder exercised its
Warrant immediately prior to the date of such distribution. At the time it
fixes the record date for such distribution, the Company shall allocate
sufficient reserves to ensure the timely and full performance of the
provisions of this Subsection. The Company shall promptly (but in any case
no later than five Business Days prior to the record date of such
distribution) give notice to the Warrantholder that such distribution will
take place.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip
shall be issued to any Warrantholder in connection with the exercise of
this Warrant. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock that would
otherwise be issuable to such Warrantholder, the Company shall pay to such
Warrantholder a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in
an amount equal to that fractional interest of the then current Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock.
(f) Carryover. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6,
no adjustment shall be made to the number of shares of Common Stock to be
delivered to the Warrantholder (or to the Exercise Price) if such
adjustment represents less than 1% of the number of shares to be so
delivered, but any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be
made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which
together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to 1% or more
of the number of shares to be so delivered.
(g) Exercise Price Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein
provided, the Exercise Price payable upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to
such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately
prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number
of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately thereafter.
6.2 Rights Offering. In the event the Company shall effect an offering of
Common Stock or preferred stock among its stockholders, the Warrantholder shall
be entitled to elect to participate in each and every such offering as if this
Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to each such offering. The Company
shall promptly (but in any case no later than five Business Days prior to such
rights offering) give notice to the Warrantholder that such rights offering will
take place. The Company shall not be required to make any adjustment pursuant to
Section 6.1 with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock or preferred
stock pursuant to a rights offering in which the holder hereof is offered the
right to participate under the provisions of this Section 6.2, assuming this
Warrant was fully exercisable in accordance with Section 1.1.
6.3 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or the
Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares is adjusted, as herein provided, the
Company shall promptly give to the Warrantholder notice of such adjustment or
adjustments and a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants of
recognized national standing (which shall be appointed at the Company's expense
and may be the independent public accountants regularly employed by the Company)
setting forth the number of Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price of such
Warrant
8
Shares after such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment, and the computation by which such adjustment was made.
6.4 Notice of Extraordinary Corporate Events. In case the Company after the
date hereof shall propose to (i) distribute any dividend (whether stock or cash
or otherwise) to the holders of shares of Common Stock or to make any other
distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock, (ii) offer to the holders
of shares of Common Stock rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional
shares of any class of stock or any other rights or options, or (iii) effect any
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a reclassification involving
merely the subdivision or combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock),
any capital reorganization, any consolidation or merger (other than a merger in
which no distribution of securities or other property is to be made to holders
of shares of Common Stock), any sale or lease or transfer or other disposition
of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business, or the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then, in each such case,
the Company shall give to the Warrantholder notice of such proposed action,
which notice shall specify the date on which (a) the books of the Company shall
close, or (b) a record shall be taken for determining the holders of Common
Stock entitled to receive such stock dividends or other distribution or such
rights or options, or (c) such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer, other disposition, liquidation, dissolution or winding
up shall take place or commence, as the case may be, and the date, if any, as of
which it is expected that holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to
receive securities or other property deliverable upon such action. Such notice
shall be given in the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above at
least ten days prior to the record date for determining holders of Common Stock
for purposes of receiving such payment or offer, or in the case of any action
covered by clause (iii) above at least 30 days prior to the date upon which such
action takes place and 20 days prior to any record date to determine holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive such securities or other property.
6.5 Effect of Failure to Notify. Failure to file any certificate or notice
or to give any notice, or any defect in any certificate or notice, pursuant to
Sections 6.3 and 6.4 shall not affect the legality or validity of the adjustment
to the Exercise Price, the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant, or any transaction giving rise thereto.
7. Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making
available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at
any time permit the Holders to sell securities of the Company to the public
without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act; and

promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has
complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company and such other reports and
9
documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may
be reasonably requested to permit the Holders to sell such securities
without registration.
8. Amendments. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended and the
observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance
and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent or
approval of the Company and the Holders who hold a majority in interest of the
Warrants; provided that it is not necessary that the exact form of the amendment
be approved by the holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants if such
holders have approved the substance of such amendment. Any amendment or waiver
effected in accordance with this Section 8 shall be binding upon each Holder and
