I.       Waivers to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

                 1.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 8.02 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Banks hereby
agree that (x) CAC may assign all of its right, title and interest in the
Patterson Agreement to Parent, (y) after the consummation of the Patterson
Acquisition by Parent, CAC may assign all of its right, title and interest in
the Clear Channel Agreement to the Patterson Allentown Subs which in turn may
assign all of such right, title and interest in the Clear Channel Agreement to
a Qualified Intermediary (as defined below) and (z) the Patterson Allentown
Subs may consummate the Allentown Stations Disposition so long as, in the case
of clause (z) above, the Net Sale Proceeds received from the Allentown Stations
Disposition are applied in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.02(e)
of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

                 2.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Sections 1.01(a) and 1.14 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the
undersigned Banks hereby agree that the incurrence by the Borrower of the
Patterson Term Loans shall not (i) reduce the number of Term Loan drawings
available to the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.01(a) of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement and (ii) be an increase in the Total Term Loan
Commitment for purposes of clause (iii) of the proviso contained in Section
1.14 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

                 3.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 8.03 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and so long as no
Default or Event of Default then exists, the Banks hereby consent to the
Borrower using the proceeds of the Patterson Term Loans and Revolving Loans to
pay a cash Dividend in an aggregate amount not to exceed $247,428,000 to
Holdings so long as Holdings promptly uses such proceeds to pay a cash Dividend
to Parent to enable Parent to finance, in part, the Patterson Acquisition.

                 4.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Sections 4.02(e), 8.01 and 8.05 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
the Banks hereby waive the requirement in Section 4.02(e) of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement that, pending the reinvestment of such Net Sale
Proceeds as permitted by Section 4.02(e) of the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment be temporarily reduced by the
amount of the Net Sale Proceeds received by the Patterson Allentown Subs from
the Allentown Stations Disposition so long as such Net Sale Proceeds are placed
in escrow with a "Qualified Intermediary" (as defined in Treasury Regulation
$1.1031(k)-1(g)) pursuant to an escrow arrangement satisfactory (including,





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4




without limitation, as to the terms of such escrow arrangement granting a first
priority security interest in such Net Sale Proceeds to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Creditors) to the Administrative Agent.

                 5.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Sections 3.03 and 4.02 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Banks
hereby agree that the net cash proceeds received by Parent from the First
Equity Contribution shall not be required to be applied to permanently reduce
the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 4.02 of the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement so long as (x) no Default or Event of
Default then exists, (y) a portion of such net cash proceeds equal to the then
outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans
is immediately contributed to the capital of the Borrower and the Borrower
promptly utilizes such proceeds to repay the then outstanding principal amount
of Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans (without a corresponding
commitment reduction) and (z) the excess, if any, of such net cash proceeds not
used to repay outstanding Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans are
promptly used by Parent to finance, in part, the Patterson Acquisition.

                 6.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Sections 3.03 and 4.02 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, to the
extent that the aggregate amount of net cash proceeds received by Parent in
connection with the Second Equity Contribution exceeds the aggregate amount of
Term Loans then outstanding, the Banks hereby waive the requirement that such
excess cash proceeds be required to be applied to permanently reduce the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 4.02 of the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement so long as (x) no Default or Event of Default then
exists and (y) such excess cash proceeds are immediately contributed to the
capital of the Borrower and the Borrower promptly utilizes such proceeds to
repay then outstanding Revolving Loans (without a corresponding reduction to
the Total Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect).

                 7.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 6.21 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Banks hereby
agree that, for the period from the closing date of the Patterson Acquisition
to and including the date occurring 30 days after such closing date, Parent may
hold all the capital stock of Patterson (it being understood, however, that
upon the expiration of such time period Parent shall immediately contribute all
the capital stock of Patterson to Holdings which in turn shall contribute such
capital stock to the Borrower).

                 8.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 8.04 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Banks hereby
consent to the guaranty of CAC's obligations under the Clear Channel Agreement
provided by Holdings.

                 9.       Parent, Holdings, the Borrower and the Banks hereby
agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, if the Second Equity Contribution is not made on
or prior to February 21, 1998 an Event of Default shall be deemed to have
occurred on such date and the Banks shall at that time be entitled to exercise
any and all rights and remedies available to them in accordance with Section 9
of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

         (ii) all then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the Final

of counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

                 4.  THIS AMENDMENT AND WAIVER AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

                 5.  This Amendment and Waiver shall become effective on the
