are used as defined in the Indenture.
WHEREAS, the Company executed and delivered the Indenture to the Trustee
to provide for the future issuance of its Securities, to be issued from time to

unlimited aggregate principal amount which may be authenticated and delivered

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company desires to
provide for the establishment of a new series of its Securities to be known as
its 5.5% Senior Notes due 2014 (said series being hereinafter referred to as the
"Notes"), the form of such Notes and the terms, provisions and conditions
thereof to be as provided in the Indenture and this Seventeenth Supplemental
Indenture;
WHEREAS, the Company desires and has requested the Trustee to join with it
in the execution and delivery of this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, and
all requirements necessary to make this Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture a
valid instrument, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and to make the
Notes, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee, the valid obligations of the Company have been performed and fulfilled,
and the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes have
been in all respects duly authorized.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase and acceptance of the
Notes by the holders thereof, and for the purpose of setting forth, as provided
in the Indenture, the form of the Notes and the terms, provisions and conditions
thereof, the Company covenants and agrees with the Trustee as follows:
ARTICLE I
General Terms and Conditions of the Notes
SECTION 1.01. (a) There shall be and is hereby authorized a series of
Securities designated the "5.5% Senior Notes due 2014", initially limited in
aggregate principal amount to $750,000,000. Without the consent of the Holders
of the Notes, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, Notes may be
increased in the future, on the same terms and conditions and with the same
CUSIP number as the Notes. The Notes shall mature and the principal thereof
shall be due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon
on September 15, 2014.
SECTION 1.02. The Notes shall be initially issued as Global Securities.
Principal and interest on the Notes issued in certificated form will be payable,
the transfer of such Notes will be registrable and such Notes will be
exchangeable for Notes, bearing identical terms and provisions at the office or
agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
3
and State of New York provided for that purpose and transfers of the Notes will
also be registrable at any of the Company's other offices or agencies as the
Company may maintain for that purpose; provided, however, that payment of
interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the
registered holder at such address as shall appear in the Security Register and
that the payment of principal with respect to the Notes will only be made upon
surrender of the applicable Notes to the Trustee.
SECTION 1.03. Each Note will bear interest at the rate of 5.5% per annum
from September 20, 2004 until the principal thereof becomes due and payable,
payable (subject to the provisions of Article II) semi-annually in arrears on
March 15 and September 15 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date",
commencing on March 15, 2005), to the person in whose name such Note (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest installment, which, except as set forth
below, shall be, March 1 or September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date
with respect to such interest installment. Any installment of interest not
punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered holder of Notes on such Regular Record Date and may be paid to the
person in whose name such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the
Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof to be given
to the registered holders of the Notes, as applicable, not less than 10 days
prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.
The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that
any date on which interest is payable on the Notes is not a Business Day, then
payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day
which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of
any such delay).
SECTION 1.04. The Notes are not entitled to any sinking fund.
SECTION 1.05. Section 101 of the Indenture is hereby amended, solely with
respect to the Notes, by amending and restating the definition of "Principal
Property" as follows: "Principal Property" means any radio broadcasting,
television broadcasting, outdoor advertising or live entertainment property
located in the United States owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary,
unless, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, such properties
are not in the aggregate of material importance to the total business conducted
by the Company and its Subsidiaries as an entirety.
ARTICLE II
Optional Redemption of the Notes
SECTION 2.01. The Notes will be redeemable as a whole at any time or in part
from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to
the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes and (ii) the sum
of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest thereon from the redemption date to September 15, 2014, discounted to
the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis
points, plus, in either case, any interest accrued but not paid to the date of
redemption. Notice of any redemption
4
will be mailed at least 30 days but no more than 60 days before the redemption
date to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in
payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will
cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. The
Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund provision.
"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes,
(i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the
immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical
release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published
weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which
establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted
to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the
maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is
within three months before or after the maturity date, yields for the two
published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue
shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated
from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), or
(ii) if such release referred to in clause (i) (or any successor release) is not
published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain the
yields referred to above, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent
yield maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for
the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal
amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The
Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the
redemption date.
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by an "Independent Investment Banker" as having a maturity comparable
to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the
time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of such Notes.
"Independent Investment Banker" means, with respect to any redemption date
for the Notes, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC,
and their successors or, if both of such firms or successor to such firms, as
the case may be, are unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury
Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing
appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date for
the Notes, (i) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as
defined below) for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest
such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer
than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such
quotations obtained.
"Reference Treasury Dealer" means Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and
another primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City selected by
Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, and two other primary U.S. Government securities
dealers in New York City (each, a "Primary Treasury Dealer") appointed by the
Trustee in consultation with the Company. If any of the foregoing shall cease to
be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another
Primary Treasury Dealer.
"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by
the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its
5
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury
Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.
ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.01. The Notes and the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication to

in the title hereof, from March 15 and September 15, as the case may be, next
preceding the date of this Note to which interest on the Notes has been paid or
duly provided for (unless the date hereof is the date to which interest on the
Notes has been paid or duly provided for, in which case from the date of this
Note), or if no interest has been paid on the Notes or duly provided for, from
September 20, 2004 until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly
provided for. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the date hereof is after the 1st
day of any March or September and before the next succeeding March 15 and
September 15, this Note shall bear interest from such March 15 or September 15,
as the case may be; provided, however, that if the Company shall default in the
payment of interest due on such March 15 or September 15, then this Note shall
bear interest from the next preceding March 15 or September 15 to which interest
on the Notes has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been

hereof is payable. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
