include or exclude, as the case may be, without duplication, such components of such
calculations attributable to any Pro Forma Transaction consummated after the first day of
the applicable period of determination and prior to the end of such period, as determined in
good faith by the Borrower based on assumptions expressed therein and that were reasonable
based on the information available to the Borrower at the time such assumptions were made.
Section 1.4 Payments. The Administrative Agent may set up standards and procedures to determine or redetermine
the equivalent in Dollars of any amount expressed in any currency other than Dollars and otherwise
may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Loan Party. Any such
determination or redetermination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error. No determination or redetermination by any Secured Party or
Loan Party and no other currency conversion shall change or release any obligation of any Loan
Party or of any Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons) under
any Loan Document, each of which agrees to pay separately for any shortfall remaining after any
conversion and payment of the amount as converted. The Administrative Agent may round up or down,
and may set up appropriate mechanisms to round up or down, any amount hereunder to nearest higher
or lower amounts and may determine reasonable de minimis payment thresholds.

Section 2.9 Interest. (a) Rate. All Term Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall
bear interest, in the case of Term Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such
Term Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other
Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in
clause (c) below, as follows: (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, at a rate per annum
equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect from time to time,
(ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar
Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect for the applicable Interest Period, and (iii) in
the case of other Obligations, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the
Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, each as in effect from time to time.
(b) Payments. Interest accrued shall be payable in arrears (i) if accrued on
the principal amount of any Term Loan, (A) at maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise), (B) upon the payment or prepayment of the principal amount on which such
interest has accrued and (C)(1) if such Term Loan is a Base Rate Loan, on the last day of
each calendar quarter commencing on the first such day following the making of such Term
Loan, (2) if such Term Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest
Period applicable to such Term Loan and, if applicable, on each date during such Interest
Period occurring every 3 months from the first day of such Interest Period and (ii) if
accrued on any other Obligation, on demand from and after the time such Obligation is due
and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in
clause (a) above or elsewhere in any Loan Document, effective immediately upon (i)
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section
9.1(a) or (e) or (ii) the delivery of a written notice by the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders to the Borrower during the continuance of any Event of Default
caused by a breach of a financial covenant in Article 5 or a financial reporting
covenant in Sections 6.1(a), (b), (c), (d), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j), and, in the case of
clauses (i) and (ii), for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the
principal balance of all Obligations (including any Obligation that bears interest by
reference to the rate applicable to any other Obligation) then due and payable shall bear
interest at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate applicable to such
Obligations from time to time (or, in the event there is no applicable rate for such
Obligations, 2% per annum above the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans), payable on demand
or, in the absence of demand, on the date that would otherwise be applicable.
(d) Savings Clause. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of
interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to
the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the
respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender
limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or
received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at
the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided,
however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than
the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the
Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Administrative
Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received
had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the
interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Section 2.10 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Option. The Borrower may elect (i) in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan,
(A) to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period
on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) to convert such Eurodollar Rate
Loan or any portion thereof into a Base Rate Loan at any time on any Business Day, subject to the

Interest Period must be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (y) no conversion in whole or in
part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be permitted at any time at which (1) an Event of Default shall be
continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined in their sole
discretion not to permit such conversions or continuations or (2) such continuation or conversion
would be made during a suspension imposed by Section 2.15.
(b) Procedure. Each such election shall be made by giving the Administrative
Agent at least 3 Business Days’ prior notice in substantially the form of Exhibit D
(a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) duly completed. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation
and of the options selected therein. If the Administrative Agent does not receive a timely
Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to
continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan, then, upon the expiration of the applicable
Interest Period, such Term Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan. Each
partial conversion or continuation shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders in
accordance with their Pro Rata Share.
Section 2.11 Fees. The Borrower (i) shall pay to the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons its
reasonable and customary fees and expenses in connection with any payments made pursuant to
Section 2.16(a) (Breakage Costs), (ii) shall pay on the Closing Date a closing fee
to each Lender, as fee compensation for such Lender’s Term Loan, in an amount equal to 3.0% of the
stated principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loan and (iii) has agreed, and reaffirms its
agreement, to pay to the Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent and/or the
Lenders (and/or each of the Related Persons of any of the foregoing) the additional fees described
in the Fee Letter.

Section 2.12 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, all payments and any other amounts received
by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied to repay the
Obligations the Borrower designates.
(b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of
clause (c) below with respect to the application of payments during the continuance
of an Event of Default, any payment made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.8 or any other prepayment of the Obligations required to be
applied in accordance with this clause (b) shall be applied first, to repay
the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans, second, to repay all other
Obligations due and payable hereunder and, then, with any excess to be distributed
to the Borrower.

(c) Application of Payments During an Event of Default. The Borrower hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees to cause each other Group Member to waive, the right to
direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments
in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of Collateral and agrees that, notwithstanding
the provisions of clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either
(A) the direction of the Required Lenders or (B) the acceleration of any Obligation pursuant
to Section 9.2, shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, apply
all payments in respect of any Obligation, all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral
Account and all proceeds of Collateral (i) first, to pay Obligations in respect of
any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Administrative
Agent, (ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense
reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Arranger and the Syndication Agent,
(iii) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements,
fees or indemnities then due to the Lenders, (iv) fourth, to pay interest then due
and payable in respect of the Term Loans, (v) fifth, to repay the outstanding
principal amounts of the Term Loans, (vi) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other
Obligations and (vii) seventh, to the Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto
under applicable law.
(d) Application of Payments Generally. All repayments (including prepayments)
of any Term Loans shall be applied first, to repay such Term Loans outstanding as
Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Term Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate
Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being
repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods. All repayments of Term Loans
shall be allocated ratably among the Term Loans. If sufficient amounts are not available to
repay all outstanding Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this
Section 2.12, the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly
specified herein, to such Obligations ratably based on the proportion of the Secured
Parties’ interest in such Obligations. Any priority level set forth in this Section
2.12 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing
after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency,
reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or
post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding.
(e) Prepayment Premium. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.7 or
Section 2.8(b)(ii) made by the Borrower on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing
Date shall be accompanied by the Make Whole Amount. Each prepayment pursuant to Section
2.7 or Section 2.8(b)(ii) after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or
prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date shall be made by Borrower at (i) 103.0% of the
principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid if such prepayment occurs on or prior to the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 102.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid
if such prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) 101.0% of
the principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid if such prepayment occurs after the third
anniversary of the Closing Date, but on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.
Section 2.13 Payments and Computations. (a) Procedure. The Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document not
later than 12:00 p.m. on the day when due to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer or ACH
transfer (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder) to the following account (or at
such other account or by such other means to such other address as the Administrative Agent shall
have notified the Borrower in writing within a reasonable time prior to such payment) in
immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim:

The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available
funds relating to the payment of principal, interest, premium or fees to the Lenders, in accordance
with the application of payments set forth in Section 2.12. The Lenders shall make any
payment under any Loan Document in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or
counterclaim. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 p.m. may, in the
Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.
(b) Computations of Interests and Fees. All computations of interest and of
fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in
the case of Base Rate Loans the interest rate payable on which is then based on the Prime
Rate (as defined in the definition of “Base Rate”), 365/366 days), in each case for the
actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination of an interest rate
or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the Administrative Agent (including
determinations of a Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate in accordance with the definitions of
“Eurodollar Rate” and “Base Rate”, respectively) and shall be conclusive, binding and final
for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Payment Dates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day,
the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day without
any increase in such payment as a result of additional interest or fees; provided,
however, that such interest and fees shall continue accruing as a result of such
extension of time. For the avoidance of doubt, the initial payments of interest and fees
relating to the Obligations (other than amounts due on the Closing Date) shall be due and
paid on the last day of the first month or quarter, as applicable, following entry of the
Obligations onto the operations systems of the Administrative Agent (as notified to the
Borrower), but in no event later than the last day of the second month or quarter, as
applicable, following the Closing Date.
(d) Advancing Payments. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due
hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may
assume that
the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and
the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall have no obligation
to, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount
then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such
payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative
Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at
the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to
Base Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until
the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.
Section 2.14 Evidence of Debt. (a) Records of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Term
Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and
paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. In addition, each Lender having sold a
participation in any of its Obligations or having identified an SPV as such to the Administrative
Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall
establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other
address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower) a record of ownership, in which such Lender shall
register by book entry (A) the name and address of each such participant and SPV (and each change
thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (B) the rights, interest or obligation of each
such participant and SPV in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any
payment hereunder.
SECOND LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT
WESTWOOD ONE, INC.
38
(b) Records of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting as agent
of the Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in
this Section 2.14, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in
Section 11.11 (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the
Borrower) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative
Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive
payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent and each Lender in the Term Loans, each of
their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Term Loan, and any assignment
of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance
with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders
(and each change thereto pursuant to Section 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders)
and Section 11.2 (Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect)), (2) the
Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Term Loan and each funding of any
participation described in clause (A) above, (4) for Eurodollar Rate Loans, the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (5) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or paid and (6) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent from the
Borrower and its application to the Obligations.
(c) Registered Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, the Term Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Term Loans) are
registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in
and to such Term Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the
Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This
Section 2.14 and Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Term Loans are
at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f),
871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor
provisions).
(d) Prima Facie Evidence. The entries made in the Register and in the accounts
maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable
Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that no error in such
account and no failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such
account shall affect the obligations of any Loan Party to repay the Term Loans in accordance
with their terms. In addition, the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this
Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be
available for access by the Borrower, the Agents or such Lender at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Lender shall, in such capacity, have
access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than
information with respect to such Lender unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent.
(e) Notes. Upon any Lender’s request, the Borrower shall promptly execute and
deliver Notes to such Lender evidencing the Term Loans of such Lender and substantially in
the form of Exhibit B; provided, however, that only one Note shall
be issued to each Lender, except (i) to an existing Lender exchanging existing Notes to
reflect changes in the Register relating to such Lender, in which case the new Notes
delivered to such Lender shall be dated the date of the original Notes and (ii) in the case
of loss, destruction or mutilation of existing Notes and similar circumstances, with respect
to a lost Note, prior to the Borrower issuing a new Note, the holder of such Note shall
execute an affidavit of loss therefor which shall include customary indemnity provisions
acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Each Note, if issued, shall only be issued as means

Section 2.15 Suspension of Eurodollar Rate Option. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article 2, the following
shall apply:
(a) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that (A)
the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that adequate and fair means do not exist
for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate is
determined or (B) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar
Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making
or maintaining such Term Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to
make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause
(c) below until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Required
Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(b) Illegality. If any Lender determines in good faith that the introduction
of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law after the date of
this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is
unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or
to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand
therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of
such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in
clause (c) below until such Lender shall, through the Administrative Agent, notify
the Borrower that it has determined that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(c) Effect of Suspension. If the obligation of any Lender to make or to
continue Eurodollar Rate Loans is suspended, (A) the obligation of such Lender to convert
Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (B) such Lender shall make a
Base Rate Loan at any time such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make a Eurodollar
Rate Loan, (C) the Borrower may revoke any pending Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion or Continuation to make or continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to convert any
Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate Loan and (D) each Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Lender
shall automatically and immediately (or, in the case of any suspension pursuant to
clause (a) above, on the last day of the current Interest Period thereof) be
converted into a Base Rate Loan.
Section 2.16 Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements. (a) Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written demand
from such Lender to such Borrower (with copy to the Administrative Agent), for all Liabilities
(including, in each case, those incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits
or other funds acquired by such Lender to prepare to fund, to fund or to maintain the Eurodollar
Rate Loans of such Lender to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the
relevant Term Loans) that such Lender may incur (A) to the extent a proposed Borrowing, conversion
into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a
Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or in a similar request made by
telephone by the Borrower, (B) to the extent any Eurodollar Rate Loan is paid (whether through a
scheduled, optional or mandatory prepayment) or converted to a Base Rate Loan (including because of
Section 2.15) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (C)
as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the
terms hereof. For purposes of this clause (a), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded
each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it using a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London
interbank market.

(b) Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender determines in good faith that,
after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation,
application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any
imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority
shall have the effect of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender of making, funding or
maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to agree to do so or of participating, or agreeing
to participate, in extensions of credit that are Eurodollar Rate Loans or (ii) imposing any
other cost to such Lender with respect to compliance with its obligations under any Loan
Document, then, upon demand by such Lender (with copy to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost (without duplication of
increases attributable to Taxes which are addressed in Section 2.17);
provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) the Xxxx-Xxxxx
Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or
directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (B) all requests, rules,
guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International
Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar
authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to
Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless
of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.16(b) shall not apply in the case of any change in any Requirement of Law
or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by a Lender with any request
or directive (whether or not having force of law) from any central bank or Governmental
Authority, each in respect of Excluded Taxes.
(c) Increased Capital Requirements. If at any time any Lender determines in
good faith that, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in or in the
interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law
(other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any
Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy, liquidity, reserves, special deposits,
compulsory loans, insurance charges against property of, deposits with or for the account
of, Obligations owing to, or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or any
similar requirement (in each case other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar
Reserve Requirements) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of
such Lender (or any corporation controlling such Lender) as a consequence of its obligations
under or with respect to any Loan Document to a level below that which, taking into account
the capital adequacy policies of such Lender or corporation, such Lender or corporation
could have achieved but for such adoption or change, then, upon demand from time to time by
such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender for such reduction; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, (A) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all
requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and
(B) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for
International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or
similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case
pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law,
regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(d) Compensation Certificate. Each demand for compensation under this
Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Lender delivered to the
Borrower claiming such compensation and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for
such demand, setting forth the amounts to be paid hereunder, which certificate shall be
conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such
amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, failure or delay on the part of
any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not constitute
a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16
for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the
date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the occurrence of the event giving rise to
the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss or other additional amounts described in
this Section 2.16, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor
(except that, if the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss or
other additional amounts described in this Section 2.16 is retroactive, then the
six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof).
Section 2.17 Taxes. (a) Payments Free and Clear of Taxes. Except as otherwise required by Requirements of
Law, each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all
present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities
with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, “Taxes” and
excluding the taxes set forth in clauses (i) — (vi) below, the “Indemnified Taxes”)
other than for (i) Taxes measured by net income (including branch profits taxes) or capital and
franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, (ii) Taxes imposed on any Secured Party as a
result of a present or former connection between such Secured Party and the jurisdiction of the
Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein (other than such connection arising solely from any Secured
Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or
enforced, any Loan Document), (iii) Taxes that are directly attributable to the failure (other than
as a result of a change in any Requirement of Law) by any Secured Party to deliver the
documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (f) below, (iv) Taxes imposed on
or in respect of a payment to a Secured Party to the extent that such Tax is imposed pursuant to
law in effect on the date that such Secured Party became a “Secured Party” under this Agreement in
the capacity under which such Secured Party makes a claim under Section 2.17(b), except in
each case to the extent such Secured Party is a direct or indirect assignee (other than pursuant to
Section 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders)) of any other Secured Party that was
entitled, at the time the assignment of such other Secured Party became effective, to receive
additional amounts under Section 2.17(b), (v) Taxes that constitute a penalty, interest or
expense that results solely from a failure of a Secured Party to pay any Taxes, within thirty (30)
days of the receipt of the indemnity payment with respect thereto under Section 2.17(d), to
the extent such penalty, interest or expense relates to any Taxes which it is required to pay, or
(vi) Taxes resulting from FATCA (clauses (i) through (vi) collectively, “Excluded Taxes”).
(b) Gross-Up. If any Indemnified Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted
from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document to any Secured Party, (i)
such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions
for Indemnified Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any
amount under this Section 2.17), such Secured Party receives the amount it would
have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) the relevant Loan
Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Loan Party shall timely pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable Requirements of Law, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after such payment is made,
the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified
copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

(c) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay, and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to pay in its name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax,
charge or similar levy imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental
Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in
payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or
otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein
(collectively, “Other Taxes”). Within thirty (30) days after the date of any
payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party in respect of a Secured Party,
the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in
Section 11.11, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d) Indemnification. The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within thirty
(30) days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Administrative Agent), each
Secured Party for all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes and
Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17)
paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A
certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Secured
Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to
be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with copy to the Administrative Agent,
shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In
determining such amount, the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(e) Mitigation. Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this Section 2.17 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal
policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a
change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter
accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.
(f) Tax Forms. (i) Each Non-U.S. Lender Party that, at any of the following
times, is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or, currently or after
a change in any Requirement of Law, is subject to such withholding tax at a reduced rate
under an applicable tax treaty, shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party
becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such
form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event
requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it
pursuant to this clause (f) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender),
provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV,
the relevant Lender) with two properly completed and duly executed originals of one of the
following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax
because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming
exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) and/or
W-8IMY (together with appropriate forms, certifications and supporting statements) or any
successor forms, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S.

Lender Party claiming exemption under
Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding
tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form
and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not
(1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (C) any
other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such
Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate
with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan
Documents. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other
documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a
Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to
such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the
Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable
Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.
(ii) Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender
Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which
any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence
of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously
delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (D) from time to time if
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a
participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two
completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled
to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.

identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent shall collect from such
participant
or SPV the documents described in this clause (f) and provide them to
the Administrative Agent.
(iv) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to
U.S. withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section
1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at
such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section
1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine
that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA
and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(iv), “FATCA” shall include any
amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(g) Refunds. If a Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it
has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan
Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by
such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by
the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that
such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Secured Party in the event such
Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This
paragraph shall not be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its Tax
Returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any
Loan Party or any other Person.

Section 2.18 Substitution of Lenders. (a) Substitution Right. In the event that any Lender that is not the
Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent (an “Affected Lender”),
(i) makes a claim under clause (b) (Increased Costs) or (c) (Increased Capital
Requirements) of Section 2.16, (ii) notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section
2.15(b) (Illegality) that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or
make any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (iii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.17(b)
(Taxes) or (iv) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document
for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of other
Lenders, the Borrower may substitute for such Affected Lender any Lender or any Affiliate or
Approved Fund of any Lender or any other Person (and to the extent any such consent would be
required from the Syndication Agent under Section 11.2 for an assignment of Term Loans to
such Person, such Person shall be subject to the acceptance of the Syndication Agent, which
acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (in each case, a “Substitute
Lender”).
(b) Procedure. To substitute such Affected Lender as described in clause
(a) above, the Borrower shall deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent and such
Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such substitution shall be subject to the
delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or the Substitute Lender of (i) payment
for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding
on, the effective date for such substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender
under this Agreement, (ii) payment of any required assignment fee set forth in Section
11.2(c), unless waived by the Administrative Agent and (iii) an assumption agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby the
Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan
Documents and assume the Commitment of the Affected Lender.
(c) Effectiveness. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause
(b) above, the Administrative Agent shall record such substitution in the Register,
whereupon (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender
shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan
Documents, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that
they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (B)
the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder and (C) the Affected Lender
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment to evidence such
substitution and deliver any Note in its possession (or with respect to any lost note,
execute and deliver an affidavit of loss in accordance with Section 2.14(e)) to the
Borrower; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to
execute any such Assignment or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase
(or the corresponding assignment) invalid. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as
an Affected Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such
election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in
accordance with Section 11.2. In the event that a Lender does not comply with the
requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of
such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute
and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any assignment agreement or other
documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with
Section 11.2 on behalf of an Affected Lender and any such documentation so executed
by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment
pursuant to Section 11.2.

the Syndication Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there exist violations of
Environmental Laws by any Group Member or that there exist any Environmental Liabilities, in each
case, that would have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, then each Group Member shall,
promptly upon receipt of written request from the Syndication Agent, cause the performance of, and

(a) deliver to each Agent such modifications to the terms of the Loan Documents (or, to
the extent applicable as determined by any Agent, such other documents), in each case in

Subsidiary shall guaranty, as primary obligor and not as surety, the payment of the
Obligations of the Borrower; and
(ii) each Loan Party (including any Person required to become a Guarantor
pursuant to clause (i) above) shall effectively grant to the Administrative
Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable security interest in
all of its property that constitutes Collateral, including all of the Stock and
Stock Equivalents and other Securities it owns, as security for the Obligations of
such Loan Party;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision in any Loan Document,
unless the Borrower and the Syndication Agent otherwise agree, in no event shall (x) any Excluded
Foreign Subsidiary be required to guaranty the payment of any Obligation, (y) the Loan Parties,
individually or collectively, be required to pledge in excess of 66% of the outstanding Voting
Stock of any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary or (z) a security interest be required to be granted on,
or a pledge required to be given of, any property of any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary or any
Excluded Assets as security for any Obligation;
(b) deliver to the First Lien Agent (if prior to the First Lien Termination Date) or
the Administrative Agent (if otherwise) all certificates representing Securities for
corporations (and to the extent any limited liability company or limited partnership has
“opted into” Article 8 of the UCC pursuant to Section 8-103 of the UCC, for such limited
liability company or limited partnership) pledged pursuant to the Guaranty and Security
Agreement and delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, together with undated powers
or endorsements duly executed in blank;
(c) upon request of the Syndication Agent or the Administrative Agent, deliver to each
Agent (x) an appraisal complying with FIRREA, (y) within forty-five days after receipt of
notice from any Agent that Material Real Property owned by the Loan Parties is located in a
Special Flood Hazard Area, Federal Flood Insurance as required by Section 7.5, and
(z) a Mortgage on any Material Real Property owned by any Loan Party, together with all
necessary or advisable Mortgage Supporting Documents relating thereto (or, if such real
property is located in a jurisdiction outside the United States, similar documents deemed
appropriate by the Syndication Agent to obtain the equivalent in such jurisdiction of a
first-priority mortgage on such real property);
(d) to take all other actions necessary or advisable to ensure the validity or
continuing validity of any guaranty for any Obligation or any Lien securing any Obligation,
to perfect, maintain, evidence or enforce any Lien securing any Obligation or to ensure such
Liens have the same priority as that of the Liens on similar Collateral set forth in the
Loan Documents executed on the Closing Date (or, for Collateral located outside the United
States, a similar priority acceptable to the Syndication Agent), including the filing of UCC
financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be required by the Loan Documents or
applicable Requirements of Law or as any Agent may otherwise reasonably request; and
(e) deliver to each Agent customary and favorable legal opinions relating to the
matters described in this Section 7.10, which opinions shall be as reasonably
required by, and in form and substance and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to, the

(i) deposit all of its cash in deposit accounts that are Controlled Deposit Accounts,
provided, however, that each Loan Party may maintain zero-balance accounts and may

payment in full of all Obligations, except as permitted by the Administrative Agent (as
directed by the Syndication Agent).

Agent, to provide protection against fluctuation of interest rates for not less than a one-year
initial term for a notional amount that, when added to the aggregate principal amount of

any foreclosure on, sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral or any other action taken
in accordance with this Agreement or proposed to be taken hereunder that would affect the
operational, voting, or other control of any Loan Party or affect the ownership of the FCC Licenses

the prior consent of the FCC and any other applicable Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties
shall not take any action pursuant hereto that would constitute or result in any assignment of the

would require, under then existing law (including the Communications Laws), the prior approval of
the FCC, without first obtaining such approval of the FCC and notifying the FCC of the consummation
of such assignment or transfer of control (to the extent required to do so). During the existence

Syndication Agent or the Administrative Agent (so long as such Agents are acting in conformity with
each other; if such Agents are not acting in conformity with each other, then such Loan Parties
shall take the action reasonably requested by the Syndication Agent) may reasonably request in
order to obtain and enjoy the full rights and benefits granted to the Agents and Lenders by this
Agreement, including specifically, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the use of such Loan Party’s commercially reasonable efforts to assist in obtaining any
approval of the FCC and any other Governmental Authority that is then required under the
Communications Laws or under any other law for any action or transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the sale or transfer of Collateral. Such efforts during
the existence of an Event of Default shall include, without limitation, sharing with the Agents any
FCC registration numbers, account numbers and passwords for the FCC’s electronic databases and
preparing, certifying and filing (or causing to be prepared, certified and filed) with the FCC any
portion of any application or applications for consent to the assignment of the FCC Licenses or
transfer of control of any Loan Party required to be filed under the Communications Laws for
approval of any sale or transfer of Collateral and/or the FCC Licenses.
Section 9.5 Borrower’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.1, in the event of
any Event of Default under any covenant set forth in Sections 5.1 or 5.2, any
equity contribution in respect of the Stock of the Borrower (in the form of common equity,
Qualified Stock or other equity having terms reasonably acceptable to the Syndication Agent) made
to the Borrower after the last day of any Fiscal Quarter and on or prior to the day that is ten
(10) days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for that Fiscal
Quarter (or, in the case of the fourth Fiscal Quarter, for such Fiscal Year) will, at the
irrevocable request of the Borrower, be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA solely
for the purposes of determining compliance with such financial covenants at the end of such Fiscal
Quarter and any subsequent period that includes such Fiscal Quarter (any such equity contribution,
a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (a) no Specified Equity
Contribution shall be given effect pursuant hereto for any Fiscal Quarter unless, immediately after
giving effect to such requested Specified Equity Contribution, there will be at least three (3)
Fiscal Quarters in the Relevant Four Fiscal Quarter Period (as defined below) in which no Specified
Equity Contribution has been made, (b) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution and the use
of proceeds therefrom will be no greater than the amount required to cause Borrower to be in
compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections 5.1 and/or 5.2 hereof and, if
applicable, the financial covenants set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the First Lien Credit
Agreement, (c) all Specified Equity Contributions and the use of proceeds therefrom will be
disregarded for all purposes under the Loan Documents other than determining compliance with the
covenants set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 (including calculating adjusted
Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of determining basket levels, pricing and other items governed by
reference to Consolidated EBITDA), (d) there shall be no more than two (2) Specified Equity
Contributions made in the aggregate after the Closing Date, (e) subject to Section 2.8(f),
the proceeds of all Specified Equity Contributions will be promptly applied by the Borrower to
prepay amounts outstanding with respect to the Term Loans and (f) any Term Loans prepaid with the
proceeds of Specified Equity Contributions shall be deemed outstanding for purposes of determining
compliance with any covenant set forth in Sections 5.1 or 5.2 for the current

to comply with Section 5.1 or 5.2 of the First Lien Credit Agreement for such period, and such
failure is cured with a “Specified Equity Contribution” under and as defined in the First Lien
Credit Agreement, then such “Specified Equity Contribution” shall constitute a Specified Equity
Contribution hereunder and shall be included, subject to the terms hereof, in the calculation of
Consolidated EBITDA for the purpose of determining compliance with the financial covenants set
forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 at the end of such fiscal quarter and any subsequent
period that includes such Fiscal Quarter; provided that such exercise of the right to make
a “Specified Equity Contribution” under the First Lien Credit Agreement shall not constitute an
exercise of the right to make a Specified Equity Contribution hereunder for purposes of clause (d)
of the proviso to the preceding sentence.

Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (iii) the exercise by the

liability hereunder, (i) treat the payee of any Note as its holder until such Note has been

authenticated by the appropriate parties.
(b) No Agent and none of its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Loan Document, and each
Lender and the Borrower hereby waive and shall not assert (and the Borrower shall cause each
other Loan Party to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action based
thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as
determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) in
connection with the duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, each
Agent:
(i) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or

(other than employees, officers and directors of such Agent, when acting on behalf

to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or
results of any due diligence performed by such Agent in connection with the Loan
Documents;
(iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance
or observance of any provision of any Loan Document, whether any condition set forth

continuation of any Default or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have
notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless, in the case of the
Administrative Agent, it has received a notice from the Borrower or any Lender
describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default” (in
which case the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to
all Lenders); and
SECOND LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT
WESTWOOD ONE, INC.
85
(v) shall not have any duty to ascertain or inquire whether any assignment
under Section 11.2(b) may be effected without the consent of the Syndication
Agent (and the Administrative Agent may follow the direction of the Syndication
Agent as to whether any such consent is required);
and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender
and the Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and the Borrower shall cause each other

Section 10.6 Agents Individually. The Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and their respective Affiliates may make
loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock and Stock Equivalents of, and engage in any
kind of business with, any Loan Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as applicable, and may receive separate fees and other
payments therefor. To the extent the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any of their
respective Affiliates makes any Term Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have
and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations
and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender” and “Required Lender” and any similar
terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, without
limitation, the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be,
in its individual capacity as Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, respectively.
Section 10.7 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it shall,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any Lender or any of their Related Persons or
upon any document (including the Disclosure Documents) solely or in part because such document was
transmitted by such Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation
of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan Party and make and continue to make its own
credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any
Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents
expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the
Lenders, neither Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party that may come in
to the possession of such Agent or any of its Related Persons.
Section 10.8 Expenses; Indemnities. (a) Each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent
and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party) promptly upon
demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and
disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on
behalf of, any Loan Party) that may be incurred by such Agent or any of its Related Persons in
connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations,
through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including
without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document
production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to its
rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.
SECOND LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT
WESTWOOD ONE, INC.
86
(b) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify each Agent and each of its Related Persons
(to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party), from and against such Lender’s aggregate
Pro Rata Share of the Liabilities (including to the extent not indemnified pursuant to
Section 10.8(c), taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding
or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or any of its Related Persons in any
matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan
Document, any other Related Document or any other act, event or transaction related,
contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or
omitted to be taken by such Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any
of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any
Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted
primarily and directly from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order or (ii) any dispute among the
Indemnitees other than (x) any claims against the Administrative Agent or the Syndication
Agent in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent or a syndication
agent or any similar role under the Loan Documents and (y) any claims arising out of any act
or omission on the part of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates.
(c) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold
from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If
any payment is made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable
withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over
the applicable withholding Tax to the IRS or any other Governmental Authority, or the IRS or
any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not
properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the
appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender
failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the
exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason not
attributable to the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, such
Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or
indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or
interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs
and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. The Administrative Agent may offset against any
payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding Tax that was
required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld,
as well as any other amounts for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to
indemnification from such Lender under this Section 10.8(c).
(d) Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the provisions of Section 7.14 of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall not in any way limit the liability of such Lender to the
Administrative Agent under this Section 10.8.
Section 10.9 Resignation of Agents. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any
time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders, the Syndication Agent and the
Borrower, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein,
upon the date such notice shall be effective in accordance with the terms of this Section
10.9(a), and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and signed by the Required Lenders. If the Administrative Agent delivers any such notice,
the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If, after
thirty (30) days after the

successor Administrative Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such
appointment, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a

the prior consent of the Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required
during the continuance of an Event of Default. Effective immediately upon its resignation or
removal, (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties
of the Administrative Agent until a successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted a valid
appointment hereunder (provided that, until a successor Administrative Agent is so
appointed by the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, any collateral security held by the
Administrative Agent in its role as collateral agent on behalf of the Lenders under any
of the Loan Documents shall continue to be held by the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent as nominee until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed), (iii) the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit
of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken while such retiring or removed Administrative Agent was, or because such Administrative Agent
had been, validly acting as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and the provisions of
this Article 10 and Sections 11.3 and 11.4 and the other provisions of the
Loans Documents referred to in Section 11.18 shall survive the resignation or removal of
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent with
respect to such actions, including any actions taken following such resignation or removal pursuant
to clause (iv) below, and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 10.3, the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to
assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Administrative
Agent, a successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents.
(b) The Syndication Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such
resignation to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, effective on the date
set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice
shall be effective in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.9(b). If the
Syndication Agent delivers any such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to
appoint a successor Syndication Agent. If, after thirty (30) days after the date of the
retiring Syndication Agent’s notice of resignation, no successor Syndication Agent has been
appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring
Syndication Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Syndication Agent.
Each appointment under this clause (b) shall be subject to the prior consent of the
Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the
continuance of an Event of Default. Effective immediately upon its resignation, (i) the
retiring Syndication Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the
Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the
Syndication Agent until a successor Syndication Agent shall have accepted a valid
appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Syndication Agent and its Related Persons shall no
longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Syndication Agent was, or because
such Syndication Agent had been, validly acting as Syndication Agent under the Loan
Documents, and the provisions of this Article 10 and Sections 11.3 and
11.4 and the other provisions of the Loans Documents referred to in Section
11.18 shall survive the resignation of the Syndication Agent for the benefit of the
retiring Syndication Agent with respect to such actions, including any actions taken
following such resignation pursuant to clause (iv) below and (iv) subject to its
rights under Section 10.3, the retiring Syndication Agent shall take such action as
may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Syndication Agent its rights as
Syndication Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a
valid appointment as Syndication Agent, a successor Syndication Agent shall succeed to, and
become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Syndication Agent under the Loan Documents.

amended and restated) with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent,
the Required Lenders and the Borrower to add one or more additional credit facilities (including an

the case of sharing in prepayments, any such credit facility consisting of term loans shall share
ratably with the Term Loans).
(b) Each waiver or consent under any Loan Document shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or
demand on any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any notice or demand in the same,
similar or other circumstances. No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise,

Section of Article 10 other than Section 10.10), the Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent and each Lender and each other Indemnitee and Secured Party and, in each case,

interest herein.
(b) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all
or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) any existing Lender (other than
(x) a natural Person, (y) the Borrower, the Permitted Investors or any of their respective
Affiliates except, in each case, in accordance with clause (g) below and (z) a
holder of obligations under any Subordinated Debt or an Affiliate of such holder), (ii) any
Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than (x) a natural Person, (y) the
Borrower, the Permitted Investors or any of their respective Affiliates except, in each
case, in accordance with clause (g) below and (z) a holder of obligations under any
Subordinated Debt or an Affiliate of such holder) or (iii) any other Person (other than (x)
a natural Person or (y) the Borrower, the Permitted Investors or any of their respective
Affiliates except, in each case, pursuant to clause (g) below) acceptable (which
acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the Syndication
Agent and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower (which acceptance
shall (i) not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) be deemed to have
been given if the Borrower has not responded within five Business Days of a written request
for such acceptance); provided that (A) the written consent of the Borrower shall
always be required for assignments to Disqualified Competitors and (B) the consent of the
Borrower shall not be required in connection with the initial syndication of the Term Loans;
provided, however, that the aggregate outstanding principal amount
(determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Term Loans subject
to any such Sale

shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an
existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the
assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in the Term
Loans or is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower (to the extent the
Borrower’s consent is otherwise required) and the Administrative Agent. The Syndication
Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to a holder of obligations under the First Lien Credit
Agreement or any Subordinated Debt or an Affiliate of such a holder (including any such
holder that is a Lender), or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including
limitations on voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, MIHI
LLC shall have the absolute right, without obligation to obtain any consent of the Loan
Parties or any Lender, to sell or assign to third parties such portion of MIHI LLC’s
Commitments and Term Loans as MIHI LLC deems necessary to enable MIHI LLC and its Affiliates
to ensure that they have no attributable stake in the Borrower for purposes of the
regulations of the FCC, or any successor agency thereto, or to otherwise comply with FCC
regulations.
(c) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b)
above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement
system designated by the Administrative Agent (or if previously agreed with the
Administrative Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the assignment) evidencing such
Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss
therefor (including customary indemnity provisions provided therein) acceptable to the
Administrative Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section
2.17(f) and, unless waived by the Administrative Agent, payment of an assignment fee in
the amount of $3,500, provided that (1) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an
Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection
with such Sale, and (2) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an
Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more
Affiliates or Approved Funds of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall
be due in connection with such Sale. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned
upon such receipt and, if such assignment is made in accordance with Section
11.2(b)(iii), upon the Syndication Agent (and the Borrower, if applicable) consenting to
such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the
Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information
contained in such Assignment.
(d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by the
Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.14(b), (i) the assignee
thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under
the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall
have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred
to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent
that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the
Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations
under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring
prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining
portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by
Article 10, Section 11.8 (Right of Setoff) and Section 11.9
(Sharing of Payments).

(e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in
this Section 11.2, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign
as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired (including rights to payments of principal, interest or premium on the Term Loans),
to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) or a
central bank or other regulator, without notice to any Agent or (B) any holder of, or
trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Securities by notice to the
Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee,
whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such
foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above),
shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be
relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.
(f) Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this
Section 11.2, each Lender may, (x) with notice to the Administrative Agent, grant to
an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Term Loan that such Lender would otherwise
be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of
Term Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Term
Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with
respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from the Syndication Agent or
the Borrower (except that the written consent of the Borrower shall always be required for
participations to Disqualified Competitors), sell participations to one or more Persons in
or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all
its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans); provided,
however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant
or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to
have made an offer to commit, to make Term Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the
applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender
hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the
Loan Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall
remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender,
which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such
participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.16 (Breakage
Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements) and 2.17 (Taxes), but only
to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to
collect pursuant to Section 2.17(f) and then only to the extent of any amount to
which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and
(B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender
with respect to Term Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable
option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to the Administrative Agent by such SPV
and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to
clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to
enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or
participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability
to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to
any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender
may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct
enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (iii) and
(iv) of Section 11.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment
of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of
participants, except for those described in Section 11.1(a)(v) (or amendments,
consents and waivers with respect to Section 10.10 to release all or substantially
all of the Collateral). No party hereto shall institute (and the Borrower shall cause each
other Loan Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this
clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar
proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having
designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may
be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute
such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability).
The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and
the payment in full of the Obligations.

(g) Assignments to Affiliated Lenders. (i) Notwithstanding anything else to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term
Loans to any Affiliated Lender in accordance with Section 11.2(b) and this
Section 11.2(g); provided that:
(A) the assigning Lender and Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s
Term Loans, as applicable, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I
hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment”) in lieu of an Assignment;
(B) Non-Debt Fund Affiliates in the aggregate shall not own in excess
of 20% of all Term Loans outstanding at any time; and
(C) Affiliated Lenders shall collectively constitute no more than three
(3) Lenders.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Affiliated
Lender shall have any right to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or
discussions (or portion thereof) among any Agent or any Lender to which
representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited, (ii) receive any information or
material prepared by any Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among one or
more Agents and/or one or more Lenders (and their auditors, advisors and attorneys),
except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any
Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive
notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans
required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article 2), or (iii) make or
bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its
pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against any Agent or
any other Lender with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or
obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Loan Documents.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.1 or the definition of
“Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required
Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification,
waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan
Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any
matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required any Agent or any
Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to
or under any Loan Document, all Term Loans held by any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall
be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required
Lenders have taken any actions and no Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall be entitled to
vote hereunder in connection with such Term Loans; provided,
however, that the commitments of any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall not be
increased, the due dates for payment of interest and scheduled amortization
(including at maturity) owned to any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate will not be extended
and the amounts owing to any such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate will not be reduced
without the written consent of such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate.
SECOND LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT
WESTWOOD ONE, INC.
94
Additionally, the Loan Parties and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby agree that if a case
under Title 11 of the United States Code is commenced against any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall
seek (and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall consent) to provide that the vote of any Non-Debt Fund
Affiliate (in its capacity as a Lender) with respect to any plan of reorganization of such Loan
Party shall not be counted except that such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate’s vote (in its capacity as a
Lender) may be
counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held
by such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such
Non-Debt Fund Affiliate than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are
not Affiliates of the Borrower. Each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby irrevocably appoints the
Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Non-Debt Fund
Affiliate’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Non-Debt Fund
Affiliate and in the name of such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate (solely in respect of Term Loans and
participations therein and not in respect of any other claim or status such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate
may otherwise have), to vote such Non- Debt Fund Affiliate’s claims in the same proportion, for or
against, as votes were cast on each matter by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders and take any
action and to execute any instrument that the Syndication Agent may deem reasonably necessary to
carry out the provisions of this paragraph.
Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses. Any action taken by any Loan Party under or with
respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of any
Secured Party, shall be at the expense of such Loan Party, and no Secured Party shall be required
under any Loan Document to reimburse any Loan Party or Group Member therefor except as expressly
provided therein. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon demand (a) the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Arranger for all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with
the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or
administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any
commitment letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation
and administration of any transaction contemplated therein (including periodic audits in accordance
with Sections 7.7 and 7.8), in each case including the reasonable and documented
fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, one primary
counsel for the Syndication Agent and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, one
specialty counsel for each relevant specialty and one or more additional counsel if one or more
conflicts arise, in each case for the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arranger or
such Related Persons, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in
connection with Intralinks® or any other E-System and reasonable and documented fees,
charges and disbursements of the auditors, appraisers, printers and other of their Related Persons
retained by or on behalf of any of them or any of their Related Persons, (b) subject to Section
7.7, the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent for all reasonable and documented costs
and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with internal audit
reviews, field examinations and Collateral examinations (which shall be reimbursed, in addition to
the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such examiners, at the per diem
rate per individual charged by the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, as applicable,
for its examiners) and (c) each of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, each of their
respective Related Persons, and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit
arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out”, (ii) the enforcement or preservation
of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to the Collateral or
any other related right or remedy or (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in,
or the taking of any other action (including preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or
request for document production relating thereto) with respect to, any proceeding (including any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to any Group Member, Loan Document, Obligation or
Related Transaction, including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one primary
counsel to the Administrative Agent, one primary counsel for the Syndication Agent and the Lenders,
one local counsel for the Syndication Agent and the Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction, one
specialty counsel for the Syndication Agent and the Lenders for each relevant specialty and one or
more additional counsel if one or more conflicts of interest arise and one financial
advisor engaged by the Syndication Agent (or legal counsel for the Syndication Agent) for
itself, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

Section 11.4 Indemnities. (a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend
the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arranger, each Lender and each of their
respective Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all
Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation, and limited to, with
respect to counsel fees, the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one
primary counsel to the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons, one primary counsel for all
other Indemnitees, one local counsel for all Indemnitees in each relevant jurisdiction, one
specialty counsel for all Indemnitees for each relevant specialty and one or more additional
counsel if one or more conflicts of interest arise) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a
result of (i) any Loan Document, any other Related Document, any Disclosure Document, any
Obligation (or the repayment thereof), the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Term Loan,
any Related Transaction, or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Group Member, (ii)
any commitment letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or
understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of
any Group Member or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of the foregoing and any
Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any E-Systems or other Electronic
Transmissions, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding,
whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of
Securities or creditors (and including, subject to the limitations set forth above, reasonable and
documented attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder
or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or
regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity,
contract, tort or otherwise, or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in
or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”);
provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this
Section 11.4 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee
shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise
liable), to the extent such liability has resulted primarily and directly from (A) the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order, (B) a material breach of any such
Indemnitee’s obligations under the Loan Documents, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order or (C) any dispute among Indemnitees other
than (x) any claims against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Arranger in its
capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent, a syndication agent or an arranger
or any similar role under the Loan Documents (other than any claims solely between the
Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent) and (y) any claims arising out of any act or
omission on the part of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Furthermore, the Borrower waives and
agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive and not
assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person. This Section 11.4(a)
shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent Liabilities arising from
any non-Tax claim.
SECOND LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT
WESTWOOD ONE, INC.
96
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all
Environmental Liabilities imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee,
including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of any Related Person or
any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or natural resources or harm or injury
alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such
property or natural
resource or any property on or contiguous to any real property of any Related Person,
whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a
mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the
successor-in-interest to any Related Person or the owner, lessee or operator of any property
of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such
Environmental Liabilities (i) resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
any Indemnitee or (ii) (A) are incurred solely following foreclosure by any Secured Party or
following any Secured Party having become the successor-in-interest to any Loan Party and
(B) are attributable to acts of such Indemnitee.
Section 11.5 Survival. Any indemnification or other protection provided to any
Indemnitee pursuant to any Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 2.17
(Taxes), Section 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital
Requirements), Article 10 (The Agents), Section 11.3 (Costs and
Expenses), Section 11.4 (Indemnities) or this Section 11.5) shall (A)
survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of other Obligations and (B)
inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or
otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns.
Section 11.6 Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages. In no event shall any
Indemnitee or any other party hereto be liable on any theory of liability for any special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated
savings). Each party hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each of its
Affiliates to waive, release and agree) not to xxx upon any such claim for any special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to
exist in its favor; provided, however, that each Indemnitee shall be indemnified,
held harmless and defended by the Borrower from and against any such claim for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such
Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of
Indemnified Matters (subject to the limitations related thereto in Section 11.4).
Section 11.7 Lender-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and
the Agents, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of lender and
creditor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of
or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the
Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction
contemplated therein.
Section 11.8 Right of Setoff. Subject to Section 11.21, each of the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any
of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by the
Borrower), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and
other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such
Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was
made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be
unmatured. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to
notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing after any such setoff and
application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the
failure to give such written notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
The rights under this Section 11.8 are in addition to any other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that the Agents and the Lenders and their Affiliates and other
Secured Parties may have.

Section 11.9 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through an
Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party
(whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of
any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other
than pursuant to Sections 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital
Requirements), 2.17 (Taxes), 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders) and
11.2 (Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect) and such payment exceeds the
amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been
distributed by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents,
such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Secured Parties such participations in their
Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Secured Parties to
ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by the Administrative Agent and
applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion
of the Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided,
however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in
whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be
returned to such Lender without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the
right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 11.10 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any
obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in
payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the
Borrower, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any
enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part,
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.
Section 11.11 Notices. (a) Addresses. All notices, demands, requests,
directions and other communications required or expressly authorized to be made by this Agreement

transmit any such notice under this clause (a) unless such transmission is an available
means to post to any E-System.
(b) Effectiveness. Subject to clause (c) below, all communications
described in clause (a) above and all other notices, demands, requests and other
communications made in connection with this Agreement shall be effective and be deemed to
have been received (i) if delivered by hand, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by
overnight courier service, one Business Day after delivery to such courier service, (iii) if
delivered by mail, when deposited in the mails, (iv) if delivered by facsimile (other than
to post to an E-System pursuant to clause (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above), upon
sender’s receipt of confirmation of proper transmission, and (v) if delivered by posting to
any E-System, on the later of the date of such posting in an appropriate location and the
date access to such posting is given to the recipient thereof in accordance with the
standard procedures applicable to such E-System; provided, however, that no
communications to any Agent pursuant to Article 2 or Article 10 shall be
effective until received by the applicable Agent.
(c) Electronic Delivery. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
documents required to be delivered (i) pursuant to Article 6 may be delivered
electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date that
is the earlier of the date (A) on which the Borrower sends such documents by electronic mail
or by other electronic methods of transmission to the applicable Agent or (B) on which such
documents are posted by the Borrower or on the Borrower’s behalf on IntraLinks/IntraAgency
or another relevant website, if any, to which each Lender and each Agent have access
(whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent)
and (ii) pursuant to Section 11.2 may be delivered electronically and if so
delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date that is the earlier of the
date on which the delivering party sends such documents by electronic mail or by other
electronic methods of transmission to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or
other recipient party. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted
documents or requesting delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative
Agent and maintaining its copies of such documents.
Section 11.12 Electronic Transmissions. (a) Authorization. Subject to the
provisions of Section 11.11(a) and (c), each of the Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Borrower, the Lenders and each of their Related Persons is authorized (but
not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole
discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions
contemplated therein. The Borrower and each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees, and the
Borrower shall cause each other Group Member to acknowledge and agree, that the use of Electronic
Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use,
including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts
such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions. The posting,
completion and/or submission by any Loan Party of any communication pursuant to an E-System shall
constitute a representation and warranty by the Loan Parties that any representation, warranty,
certification or other similar statement required by the Loan Documents to be provided, given or
made by a Loan Party in connection with any such communication is true, correct and complete in all
material respects except as expressly noted in such communication or E-System.

(b) Signatures. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.11(a) and
(c), (i) (A) no posting to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because
it is made electronically, (B) each E-Signature on any such posting shall be deemed
sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature” and (C) each such posting shall be
deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing”, in each case including
pursuant to any Loan Document, any applicable provision of any UCC, the federal Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act
and any substantive or procedural Requirement of Law governing such subject matter, (ii)
each such posting that is not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a
reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or
logically associating with such posting, an E-Signature, upon which each Secured Party and
Loan Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing
a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and
purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original and (iv) each party
hereto or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any
posting on any E-System or E-Signature on any such posting under the provisions of any
applicable Requirement of Law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit such party’s or
beneficiary’s right to contest whether any posting to any E-System or E-Signature has been
altered after transmission.
(c) Separate Agreements. All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and
subject to, in addition to Section 11.11 and this Section 11.12, separate
terms and conditions posted or referenced in such E-System and related Contractual
Obligations executed by Secured Parties and Group Members in connection with the use of such
E-System.
(d) Limitation of Liability. All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall
be provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication
Agent or any of their respective Related Persons warrants the accuracy, adequacy or
completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, and each disclaims all liability
for errors or omissions therein. No warranty of any kind is made by any Agent or any of its
Related Persons in connection with any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, including any
warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of
third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects. The Borrower and each
Secured Party agrees (and the Borrower shall cause each other Loan Party to agree) that no
Agent has any responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services
or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required
for any E-System.

law, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto shall be governed by, and
construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of
New York without regard to
conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the State of
New York.

Section 11.14
Jurisdiction. (a)
Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal action
or proceeding with respect to any Loan Document shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the
State of
New York located in the City of
New York, Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States
for the Southern District of
New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the
parties hereto hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and
unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts; provided that nothing in this Agreement
shall limit the right of any Agent to commence any proceeding in the federal or state courts of any
other jurisdiction to the extent such Agent determines that such action is necessary or appropriate
to exercise its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents. The parties hereto (and, to the
extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waive any
objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of
forum
non-conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action
or proceeding in such jurisdictions.
(b) Service of Process. Each party hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any
other Loan Document, each other party thereto) hereby irrevocably waives personal service of
any and all legal process, summons, notices and other documents and other service of process
of any kind and consents to such service in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the
United States with respect to or otherwise arising out of or in connection with any Loan
Document by any means permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, including by the mailing
thereof (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) to the address of each party
specified in Section 11.11 (and shall be effective when such mailing shall be
effective, as provided therein). Each party hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any
other Loan Document, each other party thereto) agrees that a final judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit
on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
(c) Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction. Nothing contained in this Section
11.14 shall affect the right of any Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other
manner permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.
Section 11.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives trial
by jury in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to, or directly or indirectly arising out
of, under or in connection with, any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein or
related thereto (whether founded in contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (A)
certifies that no other party and no Related Person of any other party has represented, expressly
or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the
foregoing waiver and (B) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to
enter into the Loan Documents, as applicable, by the mutual waivers and certifications in this
Section 11.15.
Section 11.16 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, any other provision of any Loan Document or any part of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
Section 11.17 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a
single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile
transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart hereof.
Section 11.18 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement of the
parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
thereof and any prior letter of interest, commitment letter, fee letter, confidentiality and
similar agreements involving any Loan Party and any Agent or any Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates relating to a financing of substantially similar form, purpose or effect;
provided, however, that those provisions of the Commitment Letter and Fee Letter
that are stated as surviving the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents pursuant to Section 7
of the Commitment Letter and Section 4 of the Fee Letter, shall survive the execution and delivery
of the Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any
other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern (unless such terms of such other Loan
Documents are necessary to comply with applicable Requirements of Law, in which case such terms
shall govern to the extent necessary to comply therewith).

WESTWOOD ONE, INC.
101
Section 11.19 Use of Name. (a) The Borrower agrees, and shall cause each other Loan
Party to agree, that it shall not, and none of its Affiliates shall, issue any press release or
other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to
a public offering of the Securities of any Loan Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring
to Macquarie or any Lender or of any of their respective Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any
transaction contemplated therein to which the Secured Parties are party without at least two (2)
Business Days’ prior notice to such Person and without the prior consent of such Person except to
the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting
with such Person prior thereto.
(b) Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the Borrower consents to the
publication by any Agent or any Lender of any press release, tombstone, advertising or other
promotional materials (including, without limitation, via any Electronic Transmission)
relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using such Group
Member’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark. Such Agent or such Lender shall
provide a draft of any such press release, advertising or other promotional material to
Borrower for review and comment prior to the publication thereof.
Section 11.20 Non-Public Information; Confidentiality. (a) Each Lender acknowledges
and agrees that it may receive material non-public information hereunder concerning the Loan
Parties and their Affiliates and Securities. The Lenders are aware of the restrictions imposed by
the United States securities laws on the purchase or sale of securities by any
person who has received material, non-public information from the issuer of such securities
and on the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable
that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such
information.
(b) Each Lender and each Agent agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in
accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it
pursuant to any Loan Document and designated in writing by any Loan Party as confidential,
except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower’s written consent, (ii)
to Related Persons of such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, that are advised of the
confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information
confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information
presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of this Section 11.20 or (B) available to such Lender or such Agent or any of their
Related Persons, as the case may be, from a source (other than any Loan Party or any of its
Affiliates) not known to them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (iv) to the extent
disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested
or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) to the extent necessary or customary for
inclusion in league table measurements or in any tombstone or other advertising materials
(and the Loan Parties consent to the publication of such tombstone or other advertising
materials by any Agent, any Lender or any of their Related Persons), (vi) to the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any
nationally recognized rating agency or otherwise to the extent consisting of general
portfolio information that does not identify Loan Parties, (vii) to current or prospective
assignees, SPVs (including the investors or prospective investors therein), grantees of any
option described in Section 11.2(f) or participants, direct or contractual
counterparties to any Hedging Agreement permitted

hereunder and to their respective Related
Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, participants, counterparties or Related
Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this
Section 11.20 (and such Person may disclose information to their respective Related
Persons in accordance with clause (ii) above), (viii) to any other party hereto, and (ix) in
connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document,
in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Lender or such Agent or
any of their Related Persons is a party or bound, to the extent necessary to respond to
public statements or disclosures by Loan Parties or their Related Persons referring to a
Lender or an Agent or any of their Related Persons. In the event of any conflict between
the terms of this Section 11.20 and those of any other Contractual Obligation
entered into with any Loan Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this
Section 11.20 shall govern. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
information as provided in this Section 11.20 shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised at least the same degree of care
to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person accords its own
confidential information.
Section 11.21 Actions in Concert. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the other
Loan Documents to the contrary, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender
shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights against any Loan Party arising out of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first
obtaining the prior written consent of each Agent or the Required Lenders, it being the intent of
the Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of each Agent or
the Required Lenders.
Section 11.22 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to
Section 326 thereof, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Borrower, including the name and address of the Borrower and other information allowing such Lender
to identify the Borrower in accordance with such act.
Section 11.23 Intercreditor Agreement. EACH LENDER HEREUNDER (I) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT
HAS RECEIVED A COPY OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (II) CONSENTS TO THE SUBORDINATION OF LIENS
PROVIDED FOR IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (III) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY AND WILL TAKE NO
ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND (IV) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ON
BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE FIRST LIEN
LENDERS TO EXTEND CREDIT TO THE BORROWER AND SUCH LENDERS ARE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF
SUCH PROVISIONS. TO THE EXTENT OF ANY CONFLICT OR INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS
OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN.

of the
State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or
rule. Any litigation arising hereunder or related thereto shall be tried by the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, provided that if such litigation shall not be

this Note and any and all extensions, renewals, and modifications hereof.
ARTICLE 11 Business Days. If any payment is due, or any time period for giving notice
or taking action expires, on a day which is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of New

interest shall continue to accrue at the required rate hereunder until any such payment is made.
ARTICLE 12 Usury Laws. It is the intention of the Company and the Holder to conform
strictly to all applicable usury laws now or hereafter in force, and any interest payable under
this Note shall be subject to reduction to the amount not in excess of the maximum legal amount
allowed under the applicable usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having
jurisdiction over such matters. If the maturity of this Note is accelerated by reason of an
election by the Holder resulting from an Event of Default, optional prepayment by the Company or
otherwise, then earned interest may never include more than the maximum amount permitted by law,
computed from the date hereof until payment, and any interest in excess of the maximum amount
permitted by law shall be canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall at the option of

canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, rebated to the Company or credited on the

to the Company.
ARTICLE 13 Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Note:

payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 13, to the prior payment in full
in cash of all Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred,
assumed or guaranteed) (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and any
unasserted contingent expense reimbursement obligations that, at such time, have not been
incurred), and that the subordination is for the
benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. Each holder of Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt
is now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, shall be deemed to have
acquired Senior Debt in reliance upon the provisions contained in this Section 13.
G-7
Section 13.2 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. Upon any distribution, whether in
cash, securities or other property, to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of
the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar Proceeding
relating to the Company or its property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any
marshaling of the Company’s assets and liabilities:
(a) holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash (other
than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and any unasserted contingent expense
reimbursement obligations that, at such time, have not been incurred) of all Obligations due
in respect of such Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any such
Proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt) before the Holder of the
Notes shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes (except that the
Holder may receive (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) Payment-in-Kind Interest); and
until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as provided in clause (i) above) are paid
in full in cash (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and any
unasserted contingent expense reimbursement obligations that, at such time, have not been
incurred) and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents shall have been
terminated, any distribution to which the Holder would be entitled but for this Section
13 shall be made to the Senior Agent (except that holders of Notes may receive (A)
Permitted Junior Securities and (B) Payment-in-Kind Interest). The Holder irrevocably
authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee,
liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise
deliver all such distributions to the Senior Agent. The Holder also irrevocably authorizes
and empowers the Senior Agent, in the name of the Holder, to demand, xxx for, collect and
receive any and all such distributions.
(b) the Holder agrees not to initiate, prosecute or participate in any claim, action or
other proceeding challenging the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the
Senior Debt or any liens and security interests securing the Senior Debt;
(c) the Holder agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in
respect of this Note requested by the Senior Agent in connection with any such Proceeding
and hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints the Senior Agent its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute, verify, deliver and file such proofs of claim upon the failure
of the Holder promptly to do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file
any such proof of claim; provided that Senior Agent shall have no obligation to
execute, verify, deliver and/or file any such proof of claim; and
(d) The Senior Debt shall continue to be treated as Senior Debt and the provisions of
this Section 13 shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of the
holders of Senior Debt and the Holder even if all or part of the Senior Debt or the security
interests securing the Senior Debt are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or
disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding, and the provisions of this Section
13 shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Debt is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Debt or any representative of such
holder.
G-8
Section 13.3 Payment Restrictions. The Company may not make any payment or
distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, to any Holder in respect of
Obligations with respect to the
Notes and may not acquire from any Holder any Notes for cash or property (other than (i)
Permitted Junior Securities and (ii) Payment-in-Kind Interest) until all principal and other
Obligations with respect to the Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash (other than unasserted
contingent indemnification obligations and any unasserted contingent expense reimbursement
obligations that, at such time, have not been incurred) and all commitments to lend under the
Senior Debt Documents shall have been terminated if (x) a default on Designated Senior Debt has
occurred and is continuing or (y) such payment or distribution is not permitted by one or both
Credit Agreements at such time.
Section 13.4 Remedies Block. Until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash (other
than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and any unasserted contingent expense
reimbursement obligations that, at such time, have not been incurred) and all commitments to lend
under the Senior Debt Documents shall have been terminated, the Holder shall not, without the prior
written consent of the agent or representative under any Senior Debt (including the Senior Agent),
(i) xxx for payment of, or to initiate or participate with others in any suit, action or proceeding
against the Company (A) to enforce payment of or to collect the whole or any part of this Note or
(B) to commence judicial enforcement of any of the rights and remedies under this Indenture or
applicable law with respect to this Note, or (ii) accelerate the Notes (it being understood that
the Notes will automatically accelerate in the case of an Event of Default of the type set forth in
Section 3(a)(ii)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13(d), the Holders may
take any of the actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section
13(d) to the extent available under this Note and applicable law, after the first to occur of:
(x) the acceleration of any Senior Debt; provided, however, that the Senior Agent shall have
received ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the Holder’s intention to effect such acceleration,
(y) the date of initiation of any Proceeding or institution or commencement of any remedies against
the Company in respect of the Senior Debt to foreclose upon a material portion or item of
collateral and (z) the date the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash (other than unasserted
contingent indemnification obligations and any unasserted contingent expense reimbursement
obligations that, at such time, have not been incurred) and all commitments to lend under the
Senior Debt Documents shall have been terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may
(x) vote a claim and file proofs of claim against any Company in any Proceeding involving a
Company, (y) commence legal proceedings to the extent necessary to prevent the running of
applicable statutes of limitation or similar restrictions on claims and (z) make compulsory cross
claims or counterclaims. Any distributions or other proceeds of any enforcement action described
in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence obtained by the
Holder in violation of the foregoing prohibition shall in any event be held in trust by it for the
benefit of the Senior Agent and promptly paid or delivered to the Senior Agent in the form received
until all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash (other than unasserted contingent indemnification
obligations and any unasserted contingent expense reimbursement obligations that, at such time,
have not been incurred) and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents shall have been
terminated.
Section 13.5 Acceleration of Notes. If payment of this Note is accelerated because of
an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration.
Section 13.6 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. In the event that the Holder
receives any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, on
account of any Obligations with respect to this Note not permitted to be made by the Company or
accepted by the Holder under this Section 13, such payment or other distribution shall not be
commingled with any of the assets of the Holder and shall be held by the Holder, in trust for the
benefit of the Senior Agent, and shall promptly be paid over and delivered to, the Senior Agent,
for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt remaining unpaid
until all the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash (other than unasserted contingent indemnification
obligations and any unasserted contingent expense reimbursement obligations that, at such time,
have not been incurred) and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents have been
terminated.
G-9
Section 13.7 Notice by Company. The Company shall promptly notify Holder of any facts
known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to this Note to
violate this Section 13, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of this
Note to the Senior Debt as provided in this Section 13.
Section 13.8 Subrogation. After all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash (other than
unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and any unasserted contingent expense
reimbursement obligations that, at such time, have not been incurred) and all commitments to lend
under the Senior Debt Documents have been terminated and until the Note is paid in full, the Holder
shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with this Note) to
the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the
extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holder have been applied to the payment of
Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Section 13 to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise
would have been made to the Holder is not, as between the Company and the Holder, a payment by the
Company on the Notes.
Section 13.9 Relative Rights. This Section 13 defines the relative rights of the
Holder and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Section 13 shall:
(a) impair, as between the Company and the Holder, the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on this Note in accordance
with its terms;
(b) affect the relative rights of the Holder and creditors of the Company other than
their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or
(c) prevent Holder from exercising its available remedies upon an Event of Default,
subject to the limitations set forth herein.
Section 13.10 Payment. If the Company fails because of this Section 13 to pay
principal of or interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still an Event of Default.
Section 13.11 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. No right of any holder of
Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be
impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or the Holder or by the failure of the Company
or the Holder to comply with this Section 13.
Section 13.12 Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to
be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution shall be made and the notice
given to the Senior Agent. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this Section 13, the Holder shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court
of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of the Senior Agent or of the liquidating trustee
or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Holder for the purpose of ascertaining the
Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other
Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 13.
Section 13.13 Amendments. The provisions of this Section 13 shall not be amended or
modified without the prior written consent of the requisite holders of each issue of Senior Debt
and shall not be affected, modified or impaired in any manner or to any extent by any amendment or
modification of or supplement to the Credit Agreements.
G-10
Section 13.14 No Collateral or Guaranties. Until the Senior Debt is paid in full in
cash (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and any unasserted contingent
expense reimbursement obligations that, at such time, have not been incurred) and all commitments
to lend under the Senior Debt Documents shall have been terminated, the Holder shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Senior Agent, accept any collateral, guaranties or other security
or similar third party support agreements for the Note.
Section 13.15 Modifications to Senior Debt Documents. Any holder of Senior Debt may
at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to the Holder, without incurring
liability to the Holder and without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Holder under this
Note, change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew or alter any
of the terms of the Senior Debt, or amend in any manner any agreement, note, guaranty or other
instrument evidencing or securing or otherwise relating to the Senior Debt.
Section 13.16 Assignments of Senior Debt. The holders of the Senior Debt may, from
time to time, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Debt or any interest therein to any
Person in accordance with the applicable Senior Debt Documents and, notwithstanding any such
assignment or transfer, or any subsequent assignment or transfer, the Senior Debt shall, subject to
the terms hereof, be and remain Senior Debt for purposes of this Section 13, and every permitted
assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Debt or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of
the interest of such permitted assignee or transferee in the applicable Senior Debt Documents, be
entitled to rely upon and be the third party beneficiary of the subordination provided under this
Section 13 and shall be entitled to enforce the terms and provisions hereof to the same extent as
if such assignee or transferee were initially a party hereto; provided that, with respect to any
payments or property that the Holder is required to deliver to the Senior Agent, the Holder shall
be permitted to pay the Person that the Holder most recently received notice from the Senior Agent
to deliver such payments or property to and the Holder shall not be liable to any such permitted
assignee or transferee for delivering any such payment or property to such Person.
Section 13.17 Third Party Beneficiary. The Holder expressly acknowledges and agrees
that each holder of Senior Debt is an intended third party beneficiary of the subordination
provided under this Section 13; provided, that each such holder of Senior Debt shall comply with
its obligation to provide notice in accordance with Section 16 of this Note.
ARTICLE 14 Assignments of this Note. Until the Senior Debt has been paid in full in
cash (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and any unasserted contingent
expense reimbursement obligations that, at such time, have not been incurred) and all commitments
to lend under the Senior Debt Documents have been terminated, the provisions of this Note
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, the subordination provisions in Section 13) shall be
binding on any successors and assigns or other transferees of this Note; provided,
however, that (a) the Company may not assign this Note or any rights or duties hereunder
without the Holder’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void
ab initio and (b) the Holder shall provide the Senior Agent notice in accordance with the notice
provisions set forth in Section 16 promptly after making any assignment of this Note.
ARTICLE 15 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Note is deemed to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable by reason of the operation of any law or by reason of the
interpretation placed thereon by any court or governmental authority, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby, and the affected provision shall be modified to the minimum extent permitted by
law so as most fully to achieve the intention of this Note.
G-11
ARTICLE 16 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or
other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be
personally served, or sent by facsimile or United States of America mail or courier service and
shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of
facsimile in complete and legible form, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United
States of America mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices
to the Holder shall not be effective until received. For the purposes hereof, the address of
Payee, the Holder, the First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent shall be (a) as set forth below
or (b) such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to
the other parties hereto (and, with respect to any new address designation of the Holder, to the
Senior Agent for purposes of Section 13(p)). If any other holder of the Senior Debt shall become
the Senior Agent, such holder shall deliver its address to the Holder pursuant to this Section
16.

Exhibit H
to
Credit Agreement
Form of Solvency Certificate
October 21, 2011
This Solvency Certificate is being executed and delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(h)
of that certain Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and among Westwood One, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders (as defined below), Cortland Capital
Market Services LLC (“Cortland”), as administrative agent and collateral agent for the
Lenders, and Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., as syndication agent (the “Credit Agreement”;
capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning assigned to them in the
Credit Agreement).
I, [•], the [Chief Financial Officer][President][Chief Executive Officer] of the Borrower, in
such capacity and not in an individual capacity, hereby certify that I am the [Chief Financial
Officer][President][Chief Executive Officer] of the Borrower and that I am generally familiar with
the businesses and assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), I have made such
other investigations and inquiries as I have deemed appropriate and am duly authorized to execute
this Solvency Certificate on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
I further certify, in my capacity as [Chief Financial Officer][President][Chief Executive
Officer] of the Borrower, and not in my individual capacity, as of the date hereof and after giving
effect to the Acquisition and the incurrence of the indebtedness and obligations being incurred in
connection with the Credit Agreement and any other funded indebtedness incurred to consummate the
Acquisition, that, (i) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent
liabilities, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair
saleable value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not
less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, on their debts and liabilities as they become absolute and
matured; (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not engaged in
business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which the
Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets, on a consolidated basis, would constitute unreasonably
small capital; and (iv) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not intend to, and do not believe that
they will, incur debts or liabilities, on a consolidated basis, beyond their ability to pay such
debts and liabilities as they mature. For the purposes hereof, the amount of any contingent
liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and
circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to
become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities meet the
criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5).

Exhibit J
to
Credit Agreement
Form Intercompany Subordination Provisions
[Non-Loan Party] agrees that any intercompany Indebtedness or other intercompany payables or
receivables, or intercompany advances directly or indirectly made by or owed to [non-Loan Party] by
[Loan Party] (collectively, “Intercompany Debt”), of whatever nature at any time
outstanding shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of the
Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense
reimbursement obligations). [Non-Loan Party] hereby agrees that it will not following written
notice by any Agent (and in any case without notice following the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(e) of the Credit Agreement), while any Event
of Default is continuing, accept any payment, including by any offset, on any Intercompany Debt
until the Termination Date (as defined in the Guaranty and Security Agreement).
In the event that any payment on any Intercompany Debt shall be received by [non-Loan Party] other
than as permitted hereby prior to the Termination Date, [non-Loan Party] shall receive such
payments and hold the same in trust for, segregate the same from its own assets and shall promptly
pay over to, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
all such sums to the extent necessary so that Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have been
paid in full, in cash, all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification
obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations) owed or which may become owing by
[Loan Party].
Upon any payment or distribution of any assets of [Loan Party] of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities by set-off, recoupment or otherwise, to creditors in any liquidation,
administration, examinership or other winding-up of [Loan Party] or in the event of any proceeding
under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar bankruptcy laws, in which [Loan Party] is a debtor, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash, in
accordance with the terms of the Guaranty and Security Agreement and the Credit Agreement, of all
amounts payable under or in respect of the Obligations owing by [Loan Party], before any payment or
distribution is made on, or in respect of, any Intercompany Debt, in any such proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Code or any similar bankruptcy laws, to the extent necessary to pay all such Obligations
owing by [Loan Party] in full in cash, after giving effect to any concurrent or previous payment or
distribution to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Second Lien Credit
Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2011, among Westwood One, Inc., the Lenders party thereto,
Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders,
