necessary to ensure that Clear Channel's Board member designee remains on the
Company's Board of Directors including, without limitation, nominating, or
causing to be nominated, one (1) member of the Company's Board of Directors

amount of its original investment in the Company.

       Section 3. Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges (i) that it will
be impossible to measure in money the damage to each other Party if any of them

provisions of this Agreement, (ii) that every such provision is material, and
(iii) that in the event of any such failure, the Company and the other Parties
will not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Accordingly, each Party
hereto consents to the issuance of an injunction or the enforcement of other
equitable remedies against it at the suit of an aggrieved Party without the
posting of any bond or other security, to compel specific performance of all of
the terms hereof, and waives any defense thereto, including, without limitation,
