single class, represented in person or proxy at a meeting of stockholders
(“Stockholder Approval”).

	III.	 	RELEASES

	 	A.	 	CBS: Release of Westwood One. In consideration of the terms and
provisions of this Release Agreement and the New Agreements, and subject to Stockholder
Approval, CBS shall, and hereby does, relieve, release and forever discharge Westwood
One of and from any and all CBS Claims.
	 
	 	B.	 	Westwood One Parties: Release of CBS. In consideration of the terms
and provisions of this Release Agreement, the New Agreements and subject to Stockholder
Approval, Westwood One shall, and hereby does, relieve, release and forever discharge
CBS of and from any and all Westwood One Claims.
	 
	 	C.	 	Unknown Claims and Risks Released by CBS. It is understood by CBS that
there is a risk that after the execution of this Release Agreement, CBS may incur or
suffer losses, damages or injuries that are included within the definition of CBS
Claims, but that are unknown or unanticipated, for whatever reason, at the time of the
execution of this Release Agreement (“Unknown CBS Injury Risk”). Further, it is
understood by CBS that there is a risk that loss or damage to CBS presently known may
be or become, for whatever reason, greater than CBS now expects or anticipates
(“Unknown CBS Magnitude Risk”). CBS understands, accepts and assumes both the Unknown
CBS Injury Risk and the Unknown CBS Magnitude Risk and intends that the releases
contained herein shall apply to all unknown and unanticipated losses, damages or
injuries included with the definition of CBS Claims, as well as those known and
anticipated.
	 
	 	D.	 	Unknown Claims and Risks Released by Westwood One. It is understood by
Westwood One that there is a risk that after the execution of this Release Agreement,
Westwood One may incur or suffer losses, damages or injuries that are included within
the definition of Westwood One Claims, but that are unknown or unanticipated, for
whatever reason, at the time of the execution of this release (“Unknown Westwood One
Injury Risk”). Further, it is understood by Westwood One that there is a risk that
loss or damage to Westwood One presently known may be or become, for whatever reason,
greater than Westwood One now expects or anticipates (“Unknown Westwood One Magnitude
Risk”). Westwood One understands, accepts and assumes both the Unknown Westwood One
Injury Risk and the Unknown Westwood One Magnitude Risk and intends that the releases
contained herein shall apply to all unknown and unanticipated losses, damages or
injuries included with the definition of Westwood One Claims, as well as those known
and anticipated.

 

4

 

	 
	 	E.	 	The Parties intend and agree that the releases set forth in this Release
Agreement shall be effective as a bar to any and all currently unsuspected, unknown or
partially known claims within the scope of their express terms and provisions, other
than the Excluded Amounts. Accordingly, the Parties hereby expressly waive any and
all rights and benefits conferred upon them by the provisions of Section 1542 of the
California Civil Code and all similar provisions of the laws of any other state,
territory or other jurisdiction. Section 1542 reads in pertinent part:
	 
	 	 	 	“A general release does not extend to claims that that creditor does not know or
suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known
by him may have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
	 
	 	 	 	The Parties hereby acknowledge that the foregoing waiver of the provisions of
Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and all similar provisions of the laws of
any other state, territory or other jurisdiction was separately bargained for and
that they would not enter into this Release Agreement unless it included a broad
release of all unknown claims, including specifically any claim of fraud or
misrepresentation in the inducement of this Release Agreement. The Parties
expressly agree that all release provisions shall be given full force and effect in
accordance with each and all of their express terms and provisions, including those
terms and provisions relating to unknown, unsuspected or future claims, demands and
causes of action. The Parties each assume for themselves the risk of the subsequent
discovery or understanding of any matter, fact or law, that if now known or
understood, would in any respect have affected its entering into this Release
Agreement.
	 
	 	F.	 	The Parties agree that this Release Agreement shall be effective immediately
and automatically following Stockholder Approval without any further act and shall have
no effect if Stockholder Approval is not obtained.

	IV.	 	COVENANT NOT TO SUE

	 	A.	 	General Covenant Not to Sue.

	 	1.	 	Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section IV.D. below, CBS
agrees that it will forever refrain and forbear from commencing, instituting or
prosecuting any lawsuit, action or other proceeding, in law, equity, admiralty
or otherwise, or from inducing others to do so against Westwood One, which in
any way arise out of or relate to any of the CBS Claims including, but not
limited to, an action claiming that this Release Agreement, or any portion
thereof, was fraudulently induced.

 

5

 

	 	2.	 	Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section IV.D. below,
Westwood One agrees that it will forever refrain and forbear from commencing,
instituting or prosecuting any lawsuit, action or other proceeding, in law,
equity, admiralty or otherwise, or from inducing others to do so against CBS,
which in any way arise out of or relate to any of the Westwood Claims,
including, but not limited to, an action claiming that this Release Agreement,
or any portion thereof, was fraudulently induced.

	 	B.	 	Attorneys’ Fees. The Parties agree further that in the event any Party
breaches this Covenant Not to Sue, the breaching Party, or in the case of a breach by
any of a Party’s Related Entities, the Party to whom the breaching Related Entity is
related, shall pay any and all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees
actually incurred by any non-breaching Party and by any of such non-breaching
Party’s Related Entities, in defending or otherwise responding to or participating
in any such action or proceeding.
	 
	 	C.	 	Injunctive Relief. The Parties acknowledge and agree that monetary
damages alone are inadequate to compensate any Party for injury caused or threatened by
a breach of this Release Agreement and that any Party by whom this Release Agreement is
enforceable shall be entitled to apply for specific performance, injunctive relief (in
the form of both a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction) and/or any
other equitable remedy necessary or appropriate to protect the Party’s rights hereunder
(“Equitable Relief”). Such Party may, in its sole discretion, apply to a court of
competent jurisdiction for such Equitable Relief in order to enforce this Release
Agreement or prevent any violation hereof. Nothing contained in this paragraph,
however, shall be interpreted or construed to prohibit or in any way limit the right of
any non-breaching Party to obtain, in addition to Equitable Relief, an award of
monetary damages against any person or entity breaching this Covenant Not to Sue or
this Release Agreement.
	 
	 	D.	 	Exceptions. The following specific matters are excepted from this
Release Agreement and the Covenant Not to Sue:

	 	1.	 	All claims of a Party resulting from a breach by any other
Party of any representations or warranties contained in this Release Agreement
or any of the New Agreements or any of the agreements or documents executed or
delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by any of the
foregoing;
