6. Leverage Fee.

(a) Commencing on October 1, 2011, and continuing until the earlier of (i) the Leverage Fee Termination Date (as defined below) and (ii) the date (the “Leverage Fee Payment Date”) on which all obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement claims in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted in writing by the Person claiming to hold such claim) under or in respect of the Notes have been paid in full, there shall accrue on a daily basis a fee payable to each holder of Notes (the “Leverage Fee”) equal to 5% per annum, multiplied by the sum of (x) the principal balance of the Notes held by such holder on October 1, 2011, plus (y) all unpaid Deferred Leverage Fee Amounts which have accrued in accordance with this Section 6; provided, however, that the Leverage Fee shall cease to accrue in respect of any portion of such principal balance that shall be prepaid as of the date of prepayment thereof. On any date on which there is a partial prepayment of the Notes, the Company shall pay to each holder of the Notes that are so prepaid, in immediately available funds, the Applicable Portion of the aggregate of the Deferred Leverage Fee Amounts (together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date of such prepayment (other than interest that has been added to the principal amount of the Notes in accordance with Section 6(c)) then outstanding with respect to such Notes of such holder. On the Leverage Fee Payment Date, the Company shall pay, in immediately available funds, all unpaid Deferred Leverage Fee Amounts, together with the Leverage Fee accrued subsequent to the most recently ended fiscal quarter as of the Leverage Fee Payment Date and all accrued and unpaid interest on all Deferred Leverage Fee Amounts. The “Applicable Portion” means, for any holder as at the date of any prepayment of Notes, the portion of the Deferred Leverage Fee Amounts attributable to the portion of the principal balance of the Notes of such holder that is prepaid on such date. The Leverage Fee or any portion thereof, as applicable, shall be fully earned and due and payable on each date on which such Leverage Fee or such portion thereof, as applicable, is required to be paid.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6(a), the Leverage Fee shall no longer accrue on or after the date (such date, the “Leverage Fee Termination Date”) on which both (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Non-Gores Notes is less than 50% of the aggregate principal balance of such Non-Gores Notes outstanding on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, and (ii) the Company shall have, in good faith and based upon calculations believed to be reasonable by it at the time thereof, delivered to the holders of the Notes an Officer’s Certificate (the “Leverage Fee Termination Certificate”) certifying (and attaching calculations in reasonable detail) that (A) the condition set forth in clause (i) has been satisfied and (B) the Senior Debt Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended did not exceed the ratio applicable to such fiscal quarter-end as determined by reference to the table below:


Date		Senior Debt Leverage Ratio
6/30/11		5.0 to 1.0
9/30/11		5.0 to 1.0
12/31/11		4.5 to 1.0
3/31/12 and each fiscal quarter ending thereafter		3.5 to 1.0

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) the financial statements required to be delivered in accordance with Section 6.1(b) or (c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement for the fiscal quarter most recently ended on or prior to the date of delivery of the Leverage Fee Termination Certificate and/or (y) the compliance certificate for such fiscal quarter delivered in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement evidence that the Senior Leverage Ratio for such fiscal quarter was not, in fact, less than the applicable ratio set forth above for such fiscal quarter or that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Non-Gores Notes was not, in fact, less than 50% of the aggregate principal balance of such Non-Gores Notes outstanding on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, then the Leverage Fee shall, notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, be deemed to have continued to accrue for each date from and after the date on which such Leverage Fee Termination Certificate was delivered and shall continue to accrue in accordance with Section 6(a) above, but subject to the terms of the immediately preceding sentence in this Section 6(b) (it being expressly understood and agreed that the failure of the Senior Leverage Ratio for such fiscal quarter to be less than the applicable ratio set forth above for such fiscal quarter shall not consitute a Default or Event of Default under the Securities Purchase Agreement and any false or incorrect statement contained in the Leverage Fee Termination Certificate (which the Company reasonably believed to be true at the time such Leverage Fee Termination Certificate was delivered based on information available to the Company at such time) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under the Securities Purchase Agreement).

(c) The unpaid portion of the Leverage Fee that has accrued in respect of each fiscal quarter ending on or after October 1, 2011 (each a “Deferred Leverage Fee Amount”), shall begin accruing interest at the rate set forth in Section 7.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement commencing on the first day of the next succeeding fiscal quarter and shall continue to accrue interest on the unpaid portion thereof until paid in full. Interest on each Deferred Leverage Fee Amount shall be payable at the times and in a manner consistent with the interest rate provisions with respect to the Notes set forth in Section 7.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement (it being understood that any portion of accrued interest on each Deferred Leverage Fee Amount not paid in cash in accordance with Section 7.1(b)(i) of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be added to the principal amount of the Notes on the same dates as Capitalized Interest Amounts are added to the principal amount of the Notes). For the avoidance of doubt, interest provided for in Section 7.1(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall not apply to any Deferred Leverage Fee Amounts solely as a result of the deferral of the payment of any Leverage Fee in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 6(c). The unpaid Deferred Leverage Fee Amounts with respect to any Note (including interest that has been added to the principal amount of the Notes), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (other than interest that has been added to the principal amount of the Notes), shall be due and payable in cash on the Leverage Fee Payment Date (or, to the extent of any portion of the Deferred Leverage Fee Amount that is due and payable in accordance with any partial prepayment as provided in Section 6(a) hereof, on such earlier date on which such portion is due and payable in accordance with Section 6(a) hereof).

(d) Any transfer, assignment, sale or other disposition of a Note shall be deemed to include any accrued and unpaid Deferred Leverage Fee Amounts (and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) in respect of such Note.

7. Prepayment of Notes.

(a) Promptly following the receipt by the Company of aggregate net cash proceeds from (i) the exercise of the call option by Excelsior Radio Networks, Inc. (together with its successors or assigns, “Excelsior”) pursuant to Section 7.1 of that certain Management Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2006, by and between Westwood One Radio Networks, Inc. and Excelsior (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Excelsior Management Agreement”), or (ii) the exercise of the put option by Westwood One Radio Networks, Inc., pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Excelsior Management Agreement (collectively, the “Put/Call Proceeds”), the Company shall promptly make a prepayment of the Notes (other than the Gores Notes) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of such Put/Call Proceeds pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(b) In connection with any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 7(a) above that results in a prepayment of less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the Company shall request that each of the Noteholders waive the requirement under Section 7.3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement that any partial prepayment of the Notes be not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (the “5% Minimum Requirement”) solely with respect to any such prepayment under Section 7(a) above. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain such waiver from the Noteholders prior to the date any such partial prepayment is required, each of the undersigned Noteholders hereby waives any right it may have to take action under Section 11.1(b) or Section 11.2 with respect to any Default or Event of Default arising solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with any such prepayment under Section 7(a) above, so long as, if the Credit Agreement includes a cross default to the Securities Purchase Agreement at the time such prepayment is made, the Banks shall have similarly agreed not to take action with respect to any such cross default that exists under the Credit Agreement as a result of such prepayment. The waiver set forth in the preceding sentence is a limited waiver and shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or, except as specifically set forth in the preceding sentence, any future breach or violation of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any of the other Financing Documents or any document entered into in connection therewith. Except as expressly provided herein, the foregoing waiver shall not constitute (a) a modification or alteration of the terms, conditions or covenants of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any of the other Financing Documents or any document entered into in connection therewith, or (b) a waiver, release or limitation upon the exercise by the Noteholders of any of their rights, legal or equitable, hereunder or under the Securities Purchase Agreement, any Financing Document or any document entered into in connection therewith. Except as set forth above, each of the undersigned Noteholders reserves any and all rights and remedies which it has had, has or may have under the Securities Purchase Agreement, each Financing Document and any document entered into in connection therewith. Each of the undersigned Noteholders stipulates that the remedies at law of the Company in the event of any default or threatened default by such undersigned Noteholders in the performance of or compliance with the terms of this Section 7(b) solely with respect to its waiver of any right it may have to take action under Section 11.1(b) or Section 11.2 with respect to any Default or Event of Default arising solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement as provided above are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company does not concede that any payment made under Section 7(a) of this Amendment (including any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 7(a) above that results in a prepayment of less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding) would constitute a breach of the 5% Minimum Requirement or otherwise entitle any Noteholders to assert the same. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will make the prepayments required by Section 7(a) regardless of whether or not the waiver referred to in this Section 7(b) is obtained.

8. Effect of Amendment and Waiver. Except as expressly provided herein, all terms of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, each other Financing Document and any document entered into in connection therewith, shall be and remain in full force and effect. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Noteholders under the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other documents entered into in connection therewith, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other documents entered into in connection therewith. Any and all notices, requests, certificates and other instruments executed and delivered after the execution and delivery of this Amendment may refer to the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement without making specific reference to this Amendment, but nevertheless all such references shall include this Amendment unless the context otherwise requires.

9. Consent to Fourth Bank Amendment.

Annex 4-1

For Value Received, the undersigned, Westwood One, Inc. (herein called the “Company”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, hereby promises to pay to [_____], or registered assigns, the principal sum of (a) [_____] Dollars, plus (b) all Capitalized Interest Amounts on July 15, 2012, with interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) on the unpaid balance thereof at a rate equal to the rate provided in Section 7.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement (defined below) and on the dates provided in Section 7.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Payments of principal of and interest on this Note are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the principal office of the Company in New York, New York or at such other place as the Company shall have designated by written notice to the holder of this Note as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement referred to below.

This Note is one of the Gores Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2009 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the respective New Noteholders named therein, and is entitled to the benefits thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the Securities Purchase Agreement, each holder of this Note agrees that all indebtedness evidenced hereby, including principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Senior Debt (as such term is defined in the Gores Notes Subordination Agreement) to the extent set forth in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Gores Notes Subordination Agreement.

Each holder of this Note (including, without limitation, any transferee of this Note), will be deemed, by its acceptance of this Note, (i) to have agreed to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 19 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, (ii) to have made the representations, understandings and acknowledgements in Section 5 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and (iii) with respect to any transferee, to have made the representation to the effect that at least one of the statements set forth in Section 12.2(b)(i)-(vi) of the Securities Purchase Agreement is an accurate representation as to each source of funds used by such holder to acquire this Note, as provided therein.

This Note is a registered Note and, as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the registered holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, a new Gores Note for a like principal amount will be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and the Company will not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Annex 4-2

This Note is subject to optional prepayment, in whole or from time to time in part, at the times and on the terms specified in the Securities Purchase Agreement, but not otherwise.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Guarantee, certain subsidiaries of the Company have absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed payment in full of the principal of and interest on this Note and the performance by the Company of all of its obligations contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement all as more fully set forth in said Amended and Restated Guarantee.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, occurs and is continuing, the principal of this Note may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the manner, at the price and with the effect provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Annex 4-3

Schedule 3(e)

Exceptions to Representations and Warranties

Pursuant to Section 7(a) of this Amendment, the Company has agreed to prepay the Notes with the aggregate Put/Call Proceeds. To the extent any such prepayment does not equal or exceed the 5% Minimum Requirement (as defined in this Amendment), such prepayment, in the absence of a waiver by each Noteholder regarding such optional prepayment on or prior to the date of prepayment, could be deemed a conflict under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with such prepayment. The Company’s representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety by reference to such conflict described in Section 5 of this Amendment. To the knowledge of the Company, the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with the prepayment of the Notes contemplated by Section 7(a) of this Amendment would not result in the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, except with respect to Section 4.6(a)(i) thereof to the extent that a prepayment made pursuant to Section 7(a) of this Amendment is deemed to constitute a conflict with the 5% Minimum Requirement set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
