For purposes of this Section 2.3, the Xxxxxxxx Stockholders only (collectively and as they may allocate among themselves as set forth below) will be the "Non-Offering Stockholder" with respect to a proposed Third-Party Sale by any Clear Channel Stockholder, and the Clear Channel Stockholders only (collectively and as they may allocate among themselves as set forth below) will be the Non-Offering Stockholder with respect to a proposed Third-Party Sale by any Xxxxxxxx Stockholder.
(b) Rights to Purchase Offered Shares. If the Non-Offering Stockholder delivers to the Offering Stockholder a written notice (an "Acceptance Notice") within 30 days following delivery of the Offer Notice (provided that if such offer relates to a proposed Transfer of Common Stock representing more than 10% of the Common Stock owned by such Offering Stockholder on the date hereof and more than two percent of the then outstanding Common Stock such Non-Offering Stockholder shall have 60 days in which to deliver such Acceptance Notice (either such period being referred to herein as the "ROFO Acceptance Period")), stating that such Non-Offering Stockholder is willing to purchase all of the Offered Shares for the Offer Price and on the other terms set forth in the Offer Notice, the Offering Stockholder will sell all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares to such Non-Offering Stockholder, and such Non-Offering Stockholder will purchase such Offered Shares from the Offering Stockholder, on the proposed terms and subject to the conditions set forth below.

(d) Right to Consummate Third-Party Sale. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4 below, if no Acceptance Notice relating to the proposed Third-Party Sale is delivered to the Offering Stockholder prior to the expiration of the ROFO Acceptance Period, or an Acceptance Notice is so delivered to the Offering Stockholder but the ROFO Closing fails to occur prior to the expiration of the ROFO Closing Period (unless the Purchasing Stockholder was ready, willing and able prior to the expiration of the ROFO Closing Period to consummate the transactions to be consummated by the Purchasing Stockholder at the ROFO Closing), the Offering Stockholder may (without affecting its rights, if any, arising out of such failure) consummate the Third-Party Sale, but only (i) during the 180 calendar day period immediately following the expiration of the ROFO Acceptance Period (in the event that no Acceptance Notice was timely delivered to the Offering Stockholder) or the 180 calendar day period immediately following the expiration of the ROFO Closing Period (in the event that an Acceptance Notice was timely delivered to the Offering Stockholder but the ROFO Closing failed timely to occur), (ii) at a price at least equal to 95% of the Offer Price, and (iii) upon other terms not materially less favorable to the Offering Stockholder than those set forth in the Offer Notice.

Prior to consummating any Third-Party Sale and after complying with the provisions of Section 2.3 above, the Stockholder proposing to complete such Third-Party Sale (the "Transferor") shall offer (the "Participation Offer") to include in the proposed Third-Party Sale a number of shares of Stock (regardless of whether such shares are of the same class being sold by the Transferor) designated by any of the other Stockholders, not to exceed, in respect of any such other Stockholder, the number of shares equal to the product of (a) the aggregate number of shares to be sold by the Transferor to the proposed transferee and (b) a fraction with a numerator equal to the
6
number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock held by such other Stockholder and a denominator equal to the number of shares of Fully-Diluted Common Stock held by all Stockholders; provided that if the consideration to be received by the Transferor includes any securities, only Stockholders who are Accredited Investors shall be entitled to include their shares in such sale (but in such a case, each Stockholder shall be entitled to include in such sale a number of its shares, without duplication, equal to the total number of shares held by its Affiliates which are excluded from such sale by the operation of this proviso). The Transferor shall give written notice to each other non-transferring Stockholder of the Participation Offer (the "Transferor's Notice") at least 20 days prior to the proposed Third-Party Sale. The Transferor's Notice shall specify (a) the Offer Price for which the Transferor proposes in good faith to sell the shares to be offered in such Third-Party Sale (the "Sale Shares"), (b) the identity of the purchaser in such Third-Party Sale (if then known), (c) the place and date on which the Third-Party Sale is to be consummated and (d) all other material terms of the proposed Third-Party Sale. Each Stockholder who wishes to include shares of Common Stock in the proposed Third-Party Sale in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.4 shall so notify the Transferor not more than 10 days after the date of the Transferor's Notice. The Participation Offer shall be conditioned upon the Transferor's sale of Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Transferor's Notice with the transferee named therein. If any other Stockholder or other Stockholders have accepted the Participation Offer, the Transferor shall reduce to the extent necessary the number of shares of Common Stock it otherwise would have sold in the proposed sale so as to permit other Stockholders who have accepted the Participation Offer to sell the number of shares that they are entitled to sell under this Section 2.4, and the Transferor and such other Stockholder or other Stockholders shall sell the number of shares of Common Stock specified in the Participation Offer to the proposed transferee in accordance with the terms of such sale set forth in the Transferor's Notice. Clear Channel Stockholders will not be entitled to participate in a Participation Offer made by any other Clear Channel Stockholder. The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall not apply to any Third Party Sales of 100,000 Covered Shares or less in the aggregate in any 90-day period that are made at then current market prices in a "broker's transaction" as defined in Section 4(4) of the Securities Act.
2.5 Conversion of Common Stock. Neither a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Clear Channel Stockholders into Class A Common Stock, nor a conversion of Class A Common Stock held by the Clear Channel Stockholders into Class B Common Stock shall be deemed a Transfer if the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, issuable upon such conversion are held by a Clear Channel Stockholder. After the Conversion Date the obligations of each of the Stockholders to make a Participation Offer pursuant to Section 2.4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. In addition, after the Conversion Date the ROFO Acceptance Period with respect to any Third-Party Sales shall be reduced to ten days regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Offer Notice.
2.6 Transfers Subject to Compliance with Securities Act. No shares of Common Stock may be transferred by a Stockholder (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) unless such Stockholder first delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such Transfer is not required to be registered under the Securities Act.
2.7 Transfers in Violation Void. Any purported Transfer by a Stockholder which is not permitted by the provisions of this Article II, or which is in violation of such provisions, shall be void and of no force and effect whatsoever.
7
The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate in respect of all Stockholders (a) upon the written consent of (i) Stockholders who then hold Common Stock representing at least seventy-five percent of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock then held by all of the Stockholders (other than CCC or its Affiliates, if CCC or one of its Affiliates then holds 25% or more of the outstanding Common Stock) and (ii) CCC, if CCC or any of its Affiliates then holds 25% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, and (b) immediately prior to the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or other similar transaction in which the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company shall cease to hold a majority of the common equity interests in the surviving entity.
