Preferred Stock authorized by SECTION 1 of this ARTICLE IV, there is hereby created a series of
200,000 shares of Preferred Stock to be designated “Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock” (the

preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions, of the Series A Preferred and the Series B Preferred, respectively,
are as follows:

 

 

     (a) Rank. The Series A Preferred and the Series B Preferred shall rank on a
parity with one another with respect to dividend rights and rights upon Liquidation and,
except as otherwise provided in this SECTION 2, the Series A Preferred and the Series B
Preferred shall rank on a parity with one another in all other respects. The Series A
Preferred and the Series B Preferred (sometimes collectively referred to as the “Designated
Preferred”) shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon Liquidation, rank: (i)
senior to the Common Stock and each other class or series of capital stock of the
Corporation or series of Preferred Stock established after the date of this Certificate of
Incorporation and issued in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE IV, the terms of which

Corporation or series of Preferred Stock established after the date of this Certificate of
Incorporation and issued in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE IV, the terms of which
expressly provide that such class or series shall rank on a parity with the Designated
Preferred as to dividend rights and rights upon Liquidation (collectively referred to as
“Parity Securities”); and (iii) junior to each other class or series of capital stock of the
Corporation or series of Preferred Stock established after the date of this Certificate of
Incorporation and issued in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE IV, the terms of which
expressly provide that such class or series shall rank senior to the Designated Preferred as
to dividend rights and amounts payable upon Liquidation (collectively referred to as “Senior
Securities”).

     (b) Dividends.

          (i) Dividend Rate. Dividends in respect of each outstanding share of
Designated Preferred (“Designated Preferred Dividends”) shall accrue on a daily
basis from the date of issuance at an annual rate equal to the Dividend Rate (as
defined below) multiplied by the sum of (A) $100 (as it may be adjusted with respect
to each series of Designated Preferred pursuant to SECTION 2(j) of this ARTICLE IV,
the “Stated Liquidation Preference”) plus (B) the amount of all Designated Preferred
Dividends and Designated Preferred Penalty Dividends (as defined below), if any,
that have accrued with respect to such share after the issuance of such share and on
or prior to the immediately preceding Dividend Payment Date (as defined below), less
the amount of all Designated Preferred Dividends and Designated Preferred Penalty
Dividends paid with respect to such share since the issuance of such share
(collectively, “Accumulated Dividends”). The “Dividend Rate” shall be 13% per annum,
except that the “Dividend Rate” shall be 15.5% per annum with respect to each day on
which a Default occurs or a Default has occurred and is continuing. If a Triggering
Event occurs during any Dividend Period (as defined below) then additional dividends
in respect of each outstanding share of Designated Preferred (“Designated Preferred
Penalty Dividends”) shall accrue from the beginning of such Dividend Period at the
applicable annual penalty dividend rates set forth in the following table:

-2-

 

	 	 	 	 	 
	Leverage Ratio	 	Annual Penalty Dividend Rate
	Greater than 4.0 to 1.0 but less than
or equal to 5.0 to 1.0

	 	 	2	%
	Greater than 5.0 to 1.0 but less than
or equal to 6.0 to 1.0

	 	 	5	%
	Greater than 6.0 to 1.0

	 	 	7	%

Designated Preferred Dividends and Designated Preferred Penalty Dividends, if any,
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

          (ii) Payment Dates. Designated Preferred Dividends and Designated
Preferred Penalty Dividends, if any, are payable on the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year (each of such dates being a “Dividend Payment
Date” and each such quarterly period being a “Dividend Period”) beginning on March
31, 2006. If any Dividend Payment Date is not a business day, Designated Preferred
Dividends and Designated Preferred Penalty Dividends, if any, shall be payable on
the next succeeding business day. Designated Preferred Dividends and Designated
Preferred Penalty Dividends, if any, payable on any Dividend Payment Date shall be
payable to holders of record as they appear in the Corporation’s stock records at
the close of business on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 immediately
preceding the Dividend Payment Date. Accumulated Dividends for any Dividend Period
not paid on the regular Dividend Payment Date may be declared and paid at any time,
without reference to any Dividend Payment Date, to the holders of record of the
Designated Preferred as they appear on the Corporation’s stock register at the close
of business on the record date as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, which
record date shall be not more than 60 days or less than 10 days prior to the payment
date.

          (iii) Accrual and Accumulation of Dividends. Designated Preferred
Dividends and Designated Preferred Penalty Dividends, if any, shall accrue whether
or not the Corporation has earnings or profits, whether or not there are funds
legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not dividends are
declared. Designated Preferred Dividends and Designated Preferred Penalty Dividends,
if any, shall be cumulative such that any Designated Preferred Dividends or
Designated Preferred Penalty Dividends accrued but not paid on any Dividend Payment
Date shall accumulate until paid and shall accrue additional dividends to and
including the date of payment thereof at the Dividend Rate and giving effect to any
Designated Preferred Penalty Dividend then in effect, compounded quarterly on each
subsequent Dividend Payment Date. Each payment of Designated Preferred Dividends and
Designated Preferred Penalty Dividends, if any, shall be credited first against the
Accumulated Dividends with respect to the earliest Dividend Period for which
dividends have not been paid in full.

-3-

 

          (iv) Form of Payment. All Designated Preferred Dividends and Designated
Preferred Penalty Dividends, if any, declared by the Board of Directors and paid by
the Corporation shall be payable in cash.

          (v) Restriction on Dividend Payments. No dividend whatsoever shall be
declared or paid upon, or any sum set apart for the payment of dividends upon, any
outstanding share of Designated Preferred with respect to any Dividend Period unless
all dividends for all preceding Dividend Periods have been declared and paid upon,
or declared and a sufficient sum set apart for the payment of such dividends upon,
all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred. Unless all Accumulated Dividends on
all outstanding Designated Preferred shall have been declared and paid, or declared
and a sufficient sum for the payment thereof set apart, then: (A) no dividend or
distribution (other than a dividend or distribution payable solely in shares of, or
options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, any Junior
Securities) shall be declared or paid upon, or any sum set apart for the payment of
any dividends or distributions upon, any shares of Junior Securities or Parity
Securities, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred and Series B
Preferred and all such Parity Securities on which dividends are accrued, accumulated
and unpaid in proportion to the total amounts to which holders of all such shares
are then entitled; (B) no shares of Junior Securities or Parity Securities shall be
purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired or retired for value (excluding an
exchange for shares of Junior Securities) by the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries, except for purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions or retirements
for value paid ratably on the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred and all such
Parity Securities; and (C) no monies shall be paid into or set apart or made
available for a sinking or other like fund for the purchase, redemption or other
acquisition or retirement for value of any shares of Junior Securities by the
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the foregoing
limitations shall not apply with respect to Junior Securities if at the date of each
such dividend, distribution, purchase, redemption, acquisition, retiring for value,
payment, setting apart or making available, full cumulative dividends determined in
accordance herewith on the Designated Preferred have been paid in full for all
dividend periods ended prior to the date of such event and such event is otherwise
permitted by SECTION 2(g)(xvii) of this ARTICLE IV.

       (c) Liquidation.

          (i) Liquidation Preference. In the event of any Liquidation, before any
payment or distribution of the Corporation’s assets (whether capital or surplus), or
proceeds thereof, is made to, or set apart for, the holders of Junior Securities,
holders of Designated Preferred shall be entitled to receive in respect of each
share of Designated Preferred payment out of the Corporation’s assets, or the
proceeds thereof, available for distribution of an amount equal to the sum of (A)
the Stated Liquidation Preference, (B) any Accumulated Dividends accrued with
respect to such share and (C) any dividends accrued during the current Dividend
Period to, but not including, the date of final distribution with respect to such
share. If, upon any Liquidation, the Corporation’s assets, or proceeds thereof, are

-4-

 

insufficient to pay, in full, the Stated Liquidation Preference and the other
liquidating payments to which the holders of any Parity Securities are entitled,
then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of
Designated Preferred and such Parity Securities ratably in proportion to the
respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of Designated Preferred and
any such Parity Securities if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

          (ii) No Further Participation. After payment of the full amount of the
sum of (A) the Stated Liquidation Preference, (B) any Accumulated Dividends accrued
with respect to such share and (C) any dividends accrued during the current Dividend
Period to, but not including, the date of final distribution with respect to such
share, to which the holders of shares of Designated Preferred are entitled, the
holders of the Designated Preferred shall have no further right or claim to any of
the Corporation’s remaining assets, or the proceeds thereof.

       (d) Redemption.

          (i) Mandatory Redemption. On December 21, 2011 (the “Mandatory
Redemption Date”), the Corporation shall redeem all of the outstanding shares of
Designated Preferred, in cash, at a redemption price, calculated as of such date,
equal to the sum of (A) the Stated Liquidation Preference, (B) any Accumulated
Dividends accrued with respect to such share and (C) any dividends accrued during
the current Dividend Period to, but not including, the date of final distribution
with respect to such share. If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds or is
not permitted under applicable law to redeem all of the outstanding shares of
Designated Preferred on the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Corporation shall use all
legally available funds to effect such redemption with respect to the maximum number
of shares of Designated Preferred. The Corporation shall allocate the shares of
Designated Preferred to be redeemed ratably between the Series A Preferred and the
Series B Preferred in proportion to the number of shares of each such series then
outstanding. The Corporation shall allocate the shares of Series A Preferred and
Series B Preferred to be redeemed ratably among the holders of the outstanding
shares of each such series in proportion to the number of such shares then held by
each holder. The shares of Designated Preferred not redeemed shall remain
outstanding and entitled to all of the rights and preferences provided herein.
Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Corporation shall redeem the balance of
the shares of Designated Preferred on the first date thereafter on which the
Corporation may legally do so (subject to the allocation provisions set forth above
with respect to any further redemption in part).

          (ii) Notice of Redemption. The Corporation shall give notice of the
mandatory redemption of Designated Preferred to each holder of record of Designated
Preferred not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the redemption date;
provided that neither the failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall
affect the validity of the procedure for the redemption of any shares of Designated
Preferred to be redeemed except as to any holder to whom

-5-

 

the Corporation has failed to give said notice or whose notice was defective.
The notice of mandatory redemption shall state: (A) the redemption date; (B) the
redemption price; (C) if less than all Designated Preferred are to be redeemed, the
aggregate number of shares of Designated Preferred to be redeemed and the number of
shares held by the addressee of such notice to be redeemed; (D) the place or places
where certificates evidencing shares of Designated Preferred to be redeemed are to
be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (E) that, on the redemption
date, the redemption price shall become due and payable upon each such share of
Designated Preferred to be redeemed and that dividends on the shares of Designated
Preferred to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on such redemption date. Such notice
shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed to each holder of record
of Designated Preferred at such holder’s address as the same appears on the
Corporation’s stock register. Upon surrender of the certificates for shares of
Designated Preferred so redeemed, in accordance with the notice of mandatory
redemption, such shares of Designated Preferred shall be redeemed by the Corporation
at the redemption price aforesaid. If fewer than the total number of shares of
Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred represented by a certificate are redeemed,
the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the holder a new certificate representing
the number of unredeemed shares of Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred, as the
case may be.

          (iii) Redemption Price. Prior to any redemption date, the Corporation
shall segregate and hold in trust an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price
of all share of Designated Preferred to be redeemed on that date.

          (iv) No Rights in Respect of Redeemed Shares. From and after the
redemption date (unless the Corporation defaults in the payment in full of the
redemption price of the shares called for redemption), dividends on the shares of
Designated Preferred so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and all rights
of the holders thereof, as holders of such shares of Designated Preferred (except
the right to receive from the Corporation the redemption price), shall cease.

          (v) Restrictions After Failure to Effect Full Redemption. If and for so
long as the Corporation fails to redeem, for any reason, all of the outstanding
shares of Designated Preferred pursuant to this SECTION 2(d), the Corporation shall
not, directly or indirectly, (A) redeem or otherwise acquire any Parity Securities
or discharge any mandatory or optional redemption, sinking fund or other similar
obligation in respect of any Parity Securities (except in connection with a
redemption, sinking fund or other similar obligation in which shares of Designated
Preferred receive a pro rata share) or (B) declare or make any distribution on
Junior Securities, or redeem or otherwise acquire any Junior Securities, or
discharge any mandatory or optional redemption, sinking fund or other similar
obligation in respect of Junior Securities.

       (e) Repurchase Offer Upon Change of Control.

          (i) Repurchase Offer. At least 20 days prior to the consummation by the
Corporation of any transaction that would result in or constitute a Change of
Control, the Corporation shall give notice to each holder of Designated Preferred
describing the transaction or transactions that constitute a Change of Control and
providing a written offer (the “Repurchase Offer”) to purchase all of the shares of
Designated Preferred held by such holder at a purchase price for such shares equal
to 101% of the sum of (A) the Stated Liquidation Preference, (B) any Accumulated
Dividends accrued with respect to such share and (C) any dividends accrued during
the current Dividend Period to, but not including, the date of final distribution
with respect to such share, calculated as of the day on which such purchase is
consummated (such amount, the “Repurchase Price”). The Repurchase Offer shall be
conditioned upon the consummation by the Corporation of the Change of Control but
shall otherwise be irrevocable.

          (ii) Compliance with Securities Laws. The Corporation shall comply with
the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”) and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent
those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of
Designated Preferred as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the any of the
provisions of this SECTION 2(e), the Corporation shall comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and shall be deemed not to have breached its
obligations under this SECTION 2(e) by virtue of such compliance.

          (iii) Closing of the Repurchase Offer. Immediately prior to the
consummation of the Change of Control, the Corporation shall (A) repurchase all
shares of Designated Preferred properly tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer,
and (B) segregate and hold in trust an amount sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price
for all shares of Designated Preferred so tendered. Upon surrender of the
certificates for shares of Designated Preferred so tendered (properly endorsed for
transfer), free and clear of any restrictions, liens or claims, together with such
other instruments of transfer as the Corporation may reasonably request, in
accordance with the Repurchase Offer, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each
holder of shares of Designated Preferred so tendered the applicable payment for
those shares of Designated Preferred. If fewer than the total number of shares of
Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred represented by a certificate are
repurchased, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the holder a new certificate
representing the number of unpurchased shares of Series A Preferred or Series B
Preferred, as the case may be. The Corporation shall publicly announce the results
of its Repurchase Offer on or as soon as practicable after consummation of the
Repurchase Offer.

          (iv) Third Party Change of Control Offer. The Corporation shall not be
required to make a Repurchase Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control if a
third party makes an offer to purchase the Designated Preferred in the manner,

-7-

 

at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements described in
this SECTION 2(e) and purchases all shares of Designated Preferred validly tendered
and not withdrawn.

          (v) Failure to Comply. The Corporation may not consummate any
transaction that would result in or constitute a Change of Control unless it has
complied in full with its obligations with respect thereto pursuant to this SECTION
2(e).

       (f) Voting Rights.

          (i) Series A Preferred. In connection with the election of directors,
the holders of Series A Preferred shall have such voting rights as shall be set
forth in ARTICLE VI. In connection with all matters submitted to a vote or written
consent of stockholders of the Corporation, other than the election of directors,
for so long as any shares of Series A Preferred are outstanding, every holder of
Series A Preferred shall be entitled to the Specified Number of votes, in person or
by proxy, for each share of Series A Preferred outstanding in such holder’s name on
the transfer books of the Corporation on the record date for such vote or written
consent of stockholders (or, if no record date is established, at the date such vote
is taken or such written consent is first solicited). The holders of Series A
Preferred shall vote together with the holders of the Common Stock on all matters
upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote, other than the election
of directors and other than such other matters required by law or this Certificate
of Incorporation to be submitted to a class or series vote. Fractional votes shall
be permitted, provided that any fractional votes shall be rounded to the nearest
one-hundredth of a vote (with five-thousandths being rounded upward). Each holder of
shares of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders meeting
in accordance with the By-Laws of the Corporation.

          (ii) Series B Preferred. The holders of shares of Series B Preferred
are not entitled to any voting rights except as specifically provided in SECTION
2(f)(iii) of this ARTICLE IV and as provided in ARTICLE VI, or as otherwise required
by law.

          (iii) Special Designated Preferred Voting Rights. In addition to any
other vote required by this Certificate of Incorporation or by law:

          (A) other than as set forth in SECTION 2(f)(iii)(D) of this ARTICLE IV
or as required by law, for so long as any shares of Series A Preferred are
outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be required to
adopt, amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of
Incorporation (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) so as to
adversely affect the preferences, rights or powers of the Series A Preferred
Stock; provided, however, that any such action that changes the dividend
payable on, the Stated Liquidation Preference of, the mandatory

-8-

 

redemption feature of, the change of control redemption feature of or
the non-call features of, the Series A Preferred Stock shall require the
affirmative vote of the holders of 72.5% of the outstanding shares of Series
A Preferred Stock at a meeting of holders of Series A Preferred Stock duly
called for such purpose or the unanimous written consent of the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock;

          (B) other than as set forth in SECTION 2(f)(iii)(D) of this ARTICLE IV
or as required by law, for so long as any shares of Series B Preferred are
outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be required to
adopt, amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of
Incorporation (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) so as to

Stock; provided, however, that any such action that changes the dividend
payable on, the Stated Liquidation Preference of, the mandatory redemption
feature of, the change of control redemption feature of or the non-call
features of, the Series B Preferred Stock shall require the affirmative vote
of the holders of 72.5% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
Stock at a meeting of holders of Series B Preferred Stock duly called for

Preferred are then outstanding) and the holders of two-thirds of the
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (if any shares of Series B
Preferred are then outstanding) voting as separate classes shall be required
for the Corporation to designate or issue any Senior Securities or Parity
Securities or reclassify any other securities into Senior Securities or
Parity Securities; and

          (D) for so long as any shares of Series A Preferred and Series B
Preferred are outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of
a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series
B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to
adopt, amend, alter or repeal any provision of (1) SECTION 2(g) of ARTICLE
IV of this Certificate of Incorporation (whether by merger, consolidation or
otherwise) that could reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to
the rights of the holders of the Designated Preferred to receive the
dividends pursuant to SECTION 2(b) of ARTICLE IV or have their shares
redeemed pursuant to SECTION 2(d) of ARTICLE IV, (2) ARTICLE VI or (3)
SECTION 3 of ARTICLE X.

     (g) Covenants. Nothing in SECTION 2(g) of this ARTICLE IV shall limit the
Corporation’s powers in ARTICLE III and no act of the Corporation shall be invalid or
ultra vires by reason of the fact that the Corporation failed to comply with
the covenants

-9-

 

of SECTION 2(g) of this ARTICLE IV. The only consequence of such failure by the
Corporation to comply with the covenants of SECTION 2(g) of this ARTICLE IV (other than
SECTION 2(g)(iii), (viii), (x)(A)(3), (xii), (xiii), (xvii) and (xviii) of this ARTICLE IV)
shall be, upon the passage of time set forth in clause (iv) of the definition of “Event of
Default” herein, the occurrence of a Default, with the sole remedies for such Default being
the remedies provided in the second sentence of SECTION 2(b)(i) of ARTICLE IV and the
proviso contained the first sentence of SECTION 1 of ARTICLE VI, and the holders of the
Designated Preferred will not be entitled to specific performance. The consequence of such
failure by the Corporation to comply with the covenants of SECTION 2(g)(iii), (viii),

of time set forth in clause (iv) of the definition of “Event of Default” herein, the
occurrence of a Default, with the remedies for such Default being, in addition to any
specific remedies provided for in this Agreement, any other legal or equitable remedy
available against the Corporation. Waivers, consents, supplements, amendments and other
modifications to SECTION 2(g) of this ARTICLE IV shall be deemed to be consented and agreed
to by the holders of Designated Preferred in accordance with the second paragraph of ARTICLE
VIII. For so long as any Designated Preferred are outstanding:

          (xxi) Interest Expense Coverage Ratio. The Corporation shall not

this ARTICLE IV, be to receive Designated Preferred Penalty Dividends as provided in the
third sentence of SECTION 2(b)(i) of this ARTICLE IV, and the holders of the Designated
Preferred will not be entitled to specific performance and a Default will not be deemed to

       (i) Status of Reacquired Shares. Shares of Designated Preferred that have been

ARTICLE V

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

       SECTION 1. Purpose. This ARTICLE V anticipates the possibility that (a) the
Corporation shall not be an indirect subsidiary of Clear Channel and that CCE Spinco may become,
directly or indirectly, a controlling, majority or significant stockholder of the Corporation, (b)
certain Clear Channel Officials may also serve as Corporation Officials, (c) the Corporation
Entities and the Clear Channel Entities may, from time to time, (i) engage in the same, similar or
related activities or lines of business or other business activities that overlap or compete with
those of the other and (ii) have an interest in the same areas of corporate opportunities, and (d)
benefits may be derived by the Corporation Entities through their continued contractual, corporate
and business relations with the Clear Channel Entities. The

-30-

 

provisions of this ARTICLE V shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, define the conduct
of certain affairs of the Corporation Entities and Corporation Officials as they may involve the
Clear Channel Entities, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation Entities
and Corporation Officials in connection therewith. Capitalized terms used and not previously
defined in this Certificate of Incorporation are defined, and shall have the meaning ascribed
thereto, in SECTION 1 of ARTICLE XI.

     SECTION 2. Existing Transactions with Clear Channel Entities. No contract, agreement,
arrangement or transaction (or any amendment, modification or termination thereof) entered into
between any Corporation Entity, on the one hand, and any Clear Channel Entity, on the other hand,
before the Corporation ceased to be an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Channel shall be
void or voidable or be considered unfair to the Corporation solely for the reason that any Clear
Channel Entity is a party thereto, or solely because any Clear Channel Official is a party thereto,
or solely because any Clear Channel Official was present at or participated in any meeting of the
Board of Directors, or committee thereof, of the Corporation, or the board of directors, or
committee thereof, of any Corporation Affiliate, that authorized the contract, agreement,
arrangement or transaction (or any amendment, modification or termination thereof), or solely
because his, her or their votes were counted for such purpose. No such contract, agreement,
arrangement or transaction (or the amendment, modification or termination thereof) or the
performance thereof by any Corporation Entity shall be considered to be contrary to any fiduciary
duty owed to any of the Corporation Entities or to any of their respective stockholders by any
Corporation Official (including any Corporation Official who may have been a Clear Channel
Official) and each such Corporation Official shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation Entities, and shall be deemed not to have breached his or her duties of loyalty to the
Corporation Entities and their respective stockholders, and not to have derived an improper
personal benefit therefrom. No Corporation Official shall have or be under any fiduciary duty to
any Corporation Entity or any of their respective stockholders to refrain from acting on behalf of
any such Corporation Entity in respect of any such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction
(or the amendment, modification, or termination thereof) or to refrain from performing any such
contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (or the amendment, modification or termination
thereof) in accordance with its terms.

     SECTION 3. (1) If a Corporation Official who is also a Clear Channel Official is offered, or
acquires knowledge of, a potential transaction or business opportunity that is or may be a
corporate opportunity for any Corporation Entity, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and each
Corporation Affiliate, to the fullest extent permitted by law except as provided in SECTION 3(3) of
this ARTICLE V, renounces any interest or expectancy in such potential transaction or business
opportunity and waives any claim that such potential transaction or business opportunity
constituted a corporate opportunity that should have been presented to the Corporation or any such
Corporation Affiliate.

     (2) If a Corporation Official who is also a Clear Channel Official is offered, or acquires
knowledge of, a potential transaction or business opportunity that is or may be a corporate
opportunity for any Corporation Entity in any manner, such Corporation Official shall have no duty
to communicate or present such potential transaction or business opportunity to the Corporation or
any Corporation Affiliate and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, not be

-31-

 

liable to any Corporation Entity, or its stockholders, for breach of any fiduciary duty as a
Corporation Official including without limitation by reason of the fact that any one or more of the
Clear Channel Entities pursues or acquires such potential transaction or business opportunity for
itself, directs such potential transaction or business opportunity to another person or entity, or
otherwise does not communicate information regarding such potential transaction or business
opportunity to the Corporation or any Corporation Affiliate.

     (3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this SECTION 3 of this ARTICLE V, the
Corporation does not renounce any interest or expectancy it may have in any corporate opportunity
that is expressly offered to any Corporation Official in writing solely in his or her capacity as a
Corporation Official.

     SECTION 4. No amendment or repeal of this ARTICLE V shall apply to or have any effect on the
liability or alleged liability of any Clear Channel Entity or Corporate Official for or with
respect to any corporate opportunity that such Clear Channel Entity or Corporate Official was
offered, or of which such Clear Channel Entity or Corporate Official acquired knowledge prior to
such amendment or repeal.

     SECTION 5. In addition to, and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE V, a
potential transaction or business opportunity (1) that the Corporation Entities are not financially
able, contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or (2) that is, from its nature, not in
the line of the Corporation Entities’ business, is of no practical advantage to any Corporation
Entity or that is one in which no Corporation Entity has any interest or reasonable expectancy,
shall not, in any such case, be deemed to constitute a corporate opportunity belonging to the
Corporation, or any Corporate Affiliate, and the Corporation, on behalf of itself and each
Corporation Affiliate, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby renounces any interest
therein.

     SECTION 6. Anything in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary notwithstanding, the
provisions of SECTIONS 3, 4 and 5 of this ARTICLE V shall automatically terminate, expire and have
no further force and effect from and after the date on which no Corporation Official is also a
Clear Channel Official.

ARTICLE VI

outstanding, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed, and may be increased or

Directors, subject to the rights of the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock to elect
directors under specified circumstances. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the
term of any incumbent director.

-32-

 

     SECTION 2. Election of Directors. For so long as any shares of Designated Preferred
are outstanding:

     (a) three (3) directors of the Corporation shall be elected solely by the holders of
the Common Stock, voting as a separate class, such directors being those persons receiving a
plurality of the votes cast by such holders of Common Stock;

     (b) one (1) director of the Corporation shall be elected solely by the holders of the
Series A Preferred, voting as a separate class, such director being the person receiving a

     (c) the Designated Director, if one is to be elected, shall be elected solely by the
holders of the Series A Preferred and the Series B Preferred, voting together as a single
class, such director being the person receiving a majority of the votes cast by such holders
of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred, with each share of Series A Preferred and each
share of Series B Preferred entitling the holder thereof to one (1) vote for such Designated
Director.

     At any time when shares of Designated Preferred are no longer outstanding, subject to the
rights of the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified
circumstances, all of the directors of the Corporation shall be elected by the holders of the
capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors, such directors
being those persons receiving a plurality of the votes cast by such holders of capital stock.

     Unless and except to the extent that the By-Laws of the Corporation shall so require, the
election of directors of the Corporation need not be by written ballot.

     SECTION 3. Term. Directors shall be elected for a term that shall expire at the next
annual meeting of the stockholders and each shall hold office until his or her successor is duly
elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, disability, resignation or removal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of the Designated Director, if one is elected, shall expire
immediately, and without any further action on the part of the Corporation, the Board of Directors,
the Designated Director, the holders of any capital stock of the Corporation or any other person,
at such time as all Events of Default that have occurred are no longer continuing, and no successor
to such Designated Director shall thereupon be elected unless and until a subsequent Event of
Default occurs.

     SECTION 4. Removal. For so long as any shares of Designated Preferred are outstanding:

     (a) any director elected solely by the holders of the Common Stock may be removed from
office at any time, with or without cause, but only by the majority vote of the holders of
Common Stock;

     (b) any director elected solely by the holders of the Series A Preferred may be removed
from office at any time, with or without cause, but only by the majority vote of the holders
of Series A Preferred; and

-33-

 

     (c) the Designated Director, if one is elected, may be removed from office at any time,
with or without cause, but only by the majority vote of the holders of Series A Preferred
and Series B Preferred, voting together, with each share of Series A Preferred and each
share of Series B Preferred entitling the holder thereof to one (1) vote.

     At any time when shares of Designated Preferred are no longer outstanding, except as otherwise
provided in a Certificate of Designations, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be
removed from office at any time, with or without cause, but only by the majority vote of the
holders of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors.

     SECTION 5. Vacancies. For so long as any shares of Designated Preferred are
outstanding, any vacancy in the Board of Directors resulting from the death, disability,
resignation or removal from office of any director shall be filled by the vote of stockholders that
would have been required to remove such director pursuant to SECTION 4 of this ARTICLE VI. Any
director so chosen shall be elected for the remainder of the term of his or her predecessor or
until his or her earlier death, disability, resignation or removal.

     At any time when shares of Designated Preferred are no longer outstanding, except as otherwise
provided in a Certificate of Designations, newly created directorships resulting from any increase
in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from the
death, disability, resignation or removal from office of any director shall be filled solely by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a
quorum of the Board of Directors, or by the sole remaining director. Any director so chosen shall
be elected for a term that shall expire at the next annual meeting of the stockholders and shall
hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier
death, disability, resignation or removal.

LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     SECTION 1. Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. A director of the
Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation, or its stockholders, for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from
liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware as the same exists at the time of the alleged breach.

     Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director of the Corporation existing hereunder with respect to any act or omission
occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

     SECTION 2. Indemnification and Insurance.

     (a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened
to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she,
or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation, or while a director or officer of the Corporation is or was serving, at the request of
the Corporation, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee
benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation, whether the basis of such proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other
capacity while serving as a director or officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such
amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment),
against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid
or to be paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith
and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators;
provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in
connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or
part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred in
SECTION 2 of this ARTICLE IX shall be a contract right. The Corporation may, by action of the Board
of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same
scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of director and officers.

-36-

 

     (b) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification conferred in SECTION 2 of
this ARTICLE IX shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter
acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, By-Law, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

     (c) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect
itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 Exhibit 10.7

CCE SPINCO, INC.

2005 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

     1. Purpose. The purpose of the plan is to facilitate the ability of CCE Spinco, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries to attract, motivate and retain
eligible employees, directors and other personnel through the use of equity-based and other
incentive compensation opportunities. Awards made under the plan may take the form of options to
purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value (the “Common Stock”) granted pursuant
to Section 5, director shares issued pursuant to Section 6, stock appreciation rights granted
pursuant to Section 7, restricted stock and deferred stock rights issued or granted pursuant to
Section 8, other types of stock-based awards made pursuant to Section 9, and/or performance-based
awards made pursuant to Section 10.

     2. Administration.

          2.1 The Committee. The Plan will be administered by the compensation committee of the
Company’s board of directors, except the entire board will have sole authority for granting and
administering awards to non-employee directors.

          2.2 Responsibility and Authority of the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the
Plan, the committee, acting in its discretion, will have responsibility and the power and authority
to (a) select the persons to whom awards will be made, (b) prescribe the terms and conditions of
each award and make amendments thereto, (c) construe, interpret and apply the provisions of the
Plan and of any agreement or other document evidencing an award made under the Plan, and (d) make
any and all determinations and take any and all other actions as it deems necessary or desirable in
order to carry out the terms of the Plan. The committee may obtain at the Company’s expense such
advice, guidance and other assistance from outside compensation consultants and other professional
advisers as the committee deems appropriate in connection with the proper administration of the
plan.

          2.3 Delegation of Authority by Committee. Subject to the requirements of applicable
law, the committee may delegate to any person or group or subcommittee of persons (who may, but
need not be members of the committee) such Plan-related functions within the scope of its
responsibility, power and authority as it deems appropriate. If the committee wishes to delegate a
particular function to a subcommittee consisting solely of its own members, it may choose to do so
on a de facto basis by limiting the members entitled to vote on matters relating to that function.
Reference herein to the committee with respect to functions delegated to another person, group or
subcommittee will be deemed to refer to such person, group or subcommittee.

          2.4 Committee Actions. A majority of the members of the committee shall constitute a
quorum. The committee may act by the vote of a majority of its members present at a meeting at
which there is a quorum or by unanimous written consent. The decision of the committee as to any
disputed question arising under the plan or an agreement or other document governing an individual
award, including questions of construction, interpretation and administration, shall be final and
conclusive on all persons. The committee shall keep a record of

 

 

its proceedings and acts and shall keep or cause to be kept such books and records as may be
necessary in connection with the proper administration of the plan.

          2.5 Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the
board of directors of the committee or of any subcommittee appointed by the board of directors or
the committee and any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates who
provides assistance with the administration of the plan or to whom a plan-related responsibility is
delegated, from and against any loss, cost, liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a
claim with the approval of the board of directors), damage and expense (including reasonable legal
fees and other expenses incident thereto and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
advancement of such fees and expenses) arising out of or incurred in connection with the plan,
unless and except to the extent attributable to such person’s fraud or willful misconduct.

     3. Limitations on Company Stock Awards Under the Plan.

          3.1 Aggregate Share Limitation. Subject to adjustments required or permitted by the
plan, the Company may issue a total of nine million (9,000,000) shares of Common Stock under the
plan. For these purposes, the following shares of Common Stock will not be taken into account and
will remain available for issuance under the plan: (a) shares covered by awards that expire or are
canceled, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise terminated, (b) shares delivered to the Company
and shares withheld by the Company for the payment or satisfaction of purchase price or tax
withholding obligations associated with the exercise or settlement of an award, and (c) shares
covered by stock-based awards assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition of another
company or business.

          3.2 Individual Employee Limitations. In any calendar year, (a) the total number of
shares that may be covered by awards made to an individual may not exceed 1,000,000 plus the
aggregate amount of such individual’s unused annual share limit as of the close of the preceding
calendar year, (b) the maximum amount of cash that may be payable to an individual pursuant to
performance-based cash awards made under Section 10 of the plan is $5,000,000 plus the aggregate
amount of such individual’s unused annual dollar limit as of the close of the preceding calendar
year.

     4. Eligibility to Receive Awards. Awards may be granted under the plan to any present
or future director, officer, employee, consultant or adviser of or to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. For purposes of the plan, a subsidiary is any entity in which the Company has a
direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 50%.

     5. Stock Option Awards.

          5.1 General. Stock options granted under the Plan will have such vesting and other
terms and conditions as the committee, acting in its discretion in accordance with the Plan, may
determine, either at the time the option is granted or, if the holder’s rights are not adversely
affected, at any subsequent time.

          5.2 Minimum Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock covered by an
option granted under the plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value

-2-

 

per share on the date the option is granted (110% in the case of “incentive stock options”
(within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) granted to an employee who is a 10% stockholder
within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code). For purposes of the plan, unless determined
otherwise by the committee, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on any date is the
closing sale price per share in consolidated trading of securities listed on the principal national
securities exchange or market on which shares of Common Stock are then traded, as reported by a
recognized reporting service or, if there is no sale on such date, on the first preceding date on
which such shares are traded.

          5.3 Limitation on Repricing of Options. Except for adjustments made in accordance with
Section 13, the repricing of stock options granted under the plan is prohibited in the absence of
stockholder approval.

          5.4 Maximum Duration. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms, an option
granted under the plan will automatically expire on the tenth anniversary of the date it is granted
or, in the case of an “incentive stock option” granted to an employee who is a 10% stockholder, the
fifth anniversary of the date it is granted.

          5.5 Effect of Termination of Employment or Service. The committee may establish such
exercise and other conditions applicable to an option following the termination of the optionee’s
employment or other service with the Company and its subsidiaries as the committee deems
appropriate on a grant-by-grant basis. For purposes of the plan, an individual’s employment or
service with the Company and its subsidiaries will be deemed to have terminated if such individual
is no longer receiving or entitled to receive compensation for providing services to the Company
and its subsidiaries.

          5.6 Method of Exercise. An outstanding and exercisable option may be exercised by
transmitting to the Secretary of the Company (or other person designated for this purpose by the
committee) a written notice identifying the option that is being exercised and specifying the
number of whole shares to be purchased pursuant to that option, together with payment in full of
the exercise price and the withholding taxes due in connection with the exercise, unless and except
to the extent that other arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made for such
payment(s). The exercise price may be paid in cash or in any other manner the committee, in its
discretion, may permit, including, without limitation, (a) by the delivery of previously-owned
shares, (b) by a combination of a cash payment and delivery of previously-owned shares, or (c)
pursuant to a cashless exercise program established and made available through a registered
broker-dealer in accordance with applicable law. Any shares transferred to the Company (or withheld
upon exercise) in connection with the exercise of an option shall be valued at fair market value
for purposes of determining the extent to which the exercise price and/or tax withholding
obligation is satisfied by such transfer (or withholding) of shares.

          5.7 Non-Transferability. No option shall be assignable or transferable except upon the
optionee’s death to a beneficiary designated by the optionee in a manner prescribed or approved for
this purpose by the committee or, if no designated beneficiary shall survive the optionee, pursuant
to the optionee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During an optionee’s lifetime,
options may be exercised only by the optionee or the optionee’s guardian or

-3-

 

legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the committee may permit the inter vivos
transfer of an option (other than an “incentive stock option”) pursuant to a domestic relations
order (within the meaning of Rule 16a-12 promulgated under the Exchange Act) in settlement of
marital property rights, or by gift to any “family member” (within the meaning of Item A.1.(5) of
the General Instructions to Form S-8 or any successor provision), on such terms and conditions as
the committee deems appropriate.

          5.8 Rights as a Stockholder. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued in respect of
the exercise of an option until payment of the exercise price and the applicable tax withholding
obligations have been satisfied or provided for to the satisfaction of the Company, and the holder
of an option shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the option
until such shares are duly and validly issued by the Company to or on behalf of such holder.

     6. Director Shares.

          6.1 The committee may permit non-employee directors to elect to receive all or part of their
annual retainers in the form of shares (“Director Shares”). Unless the committee determines
otherwise, any such elections may be made during the month a director first becomes a director and
during the last month of each calendar quarter thereafter, and shall remain in effect unless and
until the end of the calendar quarter in which a new election is made (or, if later, the calendar
quarter next following the calendar quarter in which the director first becomes a director). Any
such election shall also indicate the percentage of the retainer to be paid in shares and shall
contain such other information as the committee or the Board may require.

          6.2 The Company shall issue Director Shares on the first trading day of each calendar quarter
to all directors on that trading day except any director whose retainer is to be paid entirely in
cash. The number of Director Shares issuable to a director on the relevant trading date shall
equal:

[ % multiplied by (R/4) ] divided by P

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	WHERE:
	 

	 	% =
	 	the percentage of the director’s retainer that is payable in shares;
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	R =
	 	the director’s retainer for the applicable calendar year; and
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	P =
	 	the closing price, as quoted on the principal exchange on
which shares are traded, on the date of issuance.

Director Shares shall not include any fractional shares. Fractions shall be rounded to the nearest
whole share.

     7. Stock Appreciation Rights.

          7.1 General. The committee may grant stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), either alone
or in connection with the grant of an option, upon such vesting and other terms and

-4-

 

conditions as the committee, acting in its discretion in accordance with the Plan, including,
as applicable, Section 5 (relating to options), may determine, either at the time the SARs are
granted or, if the holder’s rights are not adversely affected, at any subsequent time. Upon
exercise, the holder of an SAR shall be entitled to receive a number of whole shares of Common
Stock having a fair market value equal to the product of X and Y, where—

X = the number of whole shares of Common Stock as to which the SAR is being
exercised, and

Y = the excess of the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of
exercise over the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date the SAR is
granted (or such greater base value as the committee may prescribe at the time the
SAR is granted).

          7.2 Tandem SARs. An SAR granted in tandem with an option shall cover the same shares
covered by the option (or such lesser number of shares as the committee may determine) and, unless
the committee determines otherwise, shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the
related option. Upon the exercise of an SAR granted in tandem with an option, the option shall be
canceled to the extent of the number of shares as to which the SAR is exercised, and, upon the
exercise of an option granted in tandem with an SAR, the SAR shall be canceled to the extent of the
number of shares as to which the option is exercised.

          7.3 Method of Exercise. An outstanding and exercisable SAR may be exercised by
transmitting to the Secretary of the Company (or other person designated for this purpose by the
committee) a written notice identifying the SAR that is being exercised and specifying the number
of shares as to which the SAR is being exercised, together with payment in full of the withholding
taxes due in connection with the exercise, unless and except to the extent that other arrangements
satisfactory to the Company have been made for such payment. The withholding taxes may be paid in
cash or in any other manner the committee, in its discretion, may permit, including, without
limitation, (a) by the delivery of previously-owned shares of Common Stock, or (b) by a combination
of a cash payment and the delivery of previously-owned shares. The committee may impose such
additional or different conditions for exercise of an SAR as it deems appropriate. No fractional
shares will be issued in connection with the exercise of an SAR.

          7.4 Rights as a Stockholder. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued in respect of
the exercise of an SAR until payment of the applicable tax withholding obligations have been
satisfied or provided for to the satisfaction of the Company, and the holder of an SAR shall have
no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares issuable upon such exercise until such shares
are duly and validly issued by the Company to or on behalf of such holder.

     8. Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock Awards.

          8.1 General. Under a restricted stock award, shares of Common Stock will be issued by
the Company to the recipient at the time of the award. Under a deferred stock award, the recipient
will be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock in the future. The shares covered by a
restricted stock award and the right to receive shares under a deferred stock award

-5-

 

will be subject to such vesting and other conditions and restrictions as the committee, acting
in its discretion in accordance with the plan, may determine.

          8.2 Minimum Purchase Price. Unless the committee, acting in accordance with applicable
law, determines otherwise, the purchase price payable for shares of Common Stock transferred
pursuant to a restricted or deferred stock award must be at least equal to the par value of the
shares.

          8.3 Issuance of Restricted Stock. Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a
restricted stock award may be evidenced by book entries on the Company’s stock transfer records
pending satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions. If a stock certificate for restricted
shares is issued, the certificate will bear an appropriate legend to reflect the nature of the
conditions and restrictions applicable to the shares. The Company may require that any or all such
stock certificates be held in custody by the Company until the applicable conditions are satisfied
and other restrictions lapse. The committee may establish such other conditions as it deems
appropriate in connection with the issuance of certificates for restricted shares, including,
without limitation, a requirement that the recipient deliver a duly signed stock power, endorsed in
blank, for the shares covered by the award.

          8.4 Stock Certificates for Vested Stock. The recipient of a restricted or deferred
stock award will be entitled to receive a certificate, free and clear of conditions and
restrictions (except as may be imposed in order to comply with applicable law), for shares that
vest in accordance with the award, subject, however, to the payment or satisfaction of applicable
withholding taxes. The delivery of vested shares covered by a deferred stock award may be deferred
if and to the extent provided by the terms of the award, subject, however, to the applicable
deferral requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

          8.5 Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to and except as otherwise provided by the terms
of a restricted stock award, the holder of restricted shares of Common Stock will be entitled to
receive dividends paid on, and exercise voting rights associated with, such shares as if the shares
were fully vested. The holder of a deferred stock award shall no rights as a stockholder with
respect to shares covered by a deferred stock award unless and until the award vests and the shares
are issued; provided, however, that the committee, in its discretion, may provide for the payment
of dividend equivalents on shares covered by a deferred stock award.

          8.6 Nontransferability. Neither a restricted or deferred stock award nor restricted
shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any such award may be sold, assigned, transferred,
disposed of, pledged or otherwise hypothecated other than to the Company or its designee in
accordance with the terms of the award or of the plan, and any attempt to do so shall be null and
void and, unless the committee determines otherwise, shall result in the immediate forfeiture of
the award or the restricted shares, as the case may be.

          8.7 Termination of Service Before Vesting; Forfeiture. Unless the committee determines
otherwise, shares of restricted stock and non-vested deferred stock awards will be forfeited upon
the recipient’s termination of employment or other service with the Company and its subsidiaries.
If shares of restricted stock are forfeited, any certificate representing such shares will be
canceled on the books of the Company and the recipient will be entitled to receive from

-6-

 

the Company an amount equal to any cash purchase price previously paid for such shares. If a
non-vested deferred stock award is forfeited, the recipient will have no further right to receive
the shares of Common Stock covered by the non-vested award.

     9. Other Equity-Based Awards. The committee may grant dividend equivalent payment
rights, phantom shares, bonus shares and other forms of equity-based awards to eligible persons,
subject to such terms and conditions as it may establish. Awards made pursuant to this section may
entail the transfer of shares of Common Stock to the recipient or the payment in cash or otherwise
of amounts based on the value of shares of Common Stock and may include, without limitation, awards
designed to comply with or take advantage of applicable tax and/or other laws, provided, that the
terms and conditions of any award that is treated as non-qualified deferred compensation must
satisfy the applicable deferral requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

     10. Performance Awards.

          10.1 General. The committee may condition the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement
of equity-based awards under the Plan (whether settled in shares of Common Stock or cash or other
property) on the achievement of specified performance goals in accordance with this section.

          10.2 Objective Performance Goals. A performance goal established in connection with an
award covered by this section must be (a) objective, so that a third party having knowledge of the
relevant facts could determine whether the goal is met; (b) prescribed in writing by the committee
at a time when the outcome is substantially uncertain, but in no event later than the first to
occur of (1) the 90th day of the applicable performance period, or (2) the date on which
25% of the performance period has elapsed; and (c) based on any one or more of the following
business criteria, applied to an individual, a subsidiary, a business unit or division, the Company
and any one or more of its subsidiaries, or such other operating unit(s) as the committee may
designate (in each case, subject to the conditions of the performance-based compensation exemption
from Section 162(m) of the Code):

          (i) earnings per share,

          (ii) share price or total shareholder return,

          (iii) pre-tax profits,

          (iv) net earnings,

          (v) return on equity or assets,

          (vi) revenues,

          (vii) operating income before depreciation,
amortization and non-cash compensation expense,

          (viii) market share or market penetration, or

          (ix) any combination of the foregoing.

-7-

 

The applicable performance goals may be expressed in absolute or relative terms, and must include
an objective formula or standard for computing the amount of compensation payable to an employee if
the goal is attained. A formula or standard is objective if a third party having knowledge of the
relevant performance results could calculate the amount to be paid to the employee. The formula or
standard may provide for the payment of a higher or lower amount depending upon whether and the
extent to which a performance goal is attained. The committee may not use its discretion to
increase the amount of compensation payable that would otherwise be due upon attainment of a
performance goal; provided that, subject to the requirements for exemption under Section 162(m) of
the Code, the committee may make appropriate adjustments to an award in order to equitably reflect
changes in accounting rules, corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions
and acquisitions) and other similar types of events or circumstances occurring during the
applicable performance period.

          10.3 Determination of Amount Payable. Following the expiration of the performance
period applicable to an award made under this section, the committee shall determine whether and
the extent to which the performance goals have been attained and the amount of compensation, if
any, that is payable as a result. The committee must certify in writing prior to payment of the
compensation that the performance goals and any other material terms of the award were in fact
satisfied. Compensation otherwise payable pursuant to a performance-based award made under this
section will be subject to the individual limitations set forth in section 3.2.

     11. Capital Changes, Reorganization or Sale of the Company.

          11.1 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. The aggregate number and class of
shares issuable under the plan, the total number and class of shares with respect to which awards
may be granted to any individual in any calendar year, the number and class of shares and the
exercise price per share covered by each outstanding option, the number and class of shares and the
base price per share covered by each outstanding SAR, and the number and class of shares covered by
each outstanding deferred stock award or other-equity-based award, and any per-share base or
purchase price or target market price included in the terms of any such award, and related terms
shall be subject to adjustment in order to equitably reflect the effect on issued shares of Common
Stock resulting from a split-up, spin-off, recapitalization, consolidation of shares or any similar
capital adjustment, and/or to reflect a change in the character or class of shares covered by the
plan and an award. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustments will be required or made under this
section in respect of the spin-off of the Company by Clear Channel Communications, Inc.

          11.2 Cash, Stock or Other Property for Stock. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section, in the event of an Exchange Transaction (as defined below), all option holders shall be
permitted to exercise their outstanding options and SARs in whole or in part (whether or not
otherwise exercisable) immediately prior to such Exchange Transaction, and any outstanding options
and SARs which are not exercised before the Exchange Transaction shall thereupon terminate.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if, as part of an Exchange Transaction, the stockholders of
the Company receive capital stock of another corporation (“Exchange Stock”) in exchange for their
shares of Common Stock (whether or not such Exchange Stock is the sole consideration), and if the
Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, so directs, then all

-8-

 

options and SARs for Common Stock that are outstanding at the time of the Exchange Transaction
shall be converted into options or SARs (as the case may be) for shares of Exchange Stock. The
number of shares of Exchange Stock and the exercise price per share under a converted option will
be adjusted such that (a) the ratio of the exercise price per share to the value per share at the
time of the conversion (which value will be equal to the consideration payable for each share of
Common Stock in the Exchange Transaction) is the same as the ratio of the per share exercise price
to the value of per share of Common Stock under the original option; and (b) the aggregate
difference between the value of the shares of Exchange Stock and the exercise price under the
converted option immediately after the Exchange Transaction is the same as the aggregate difference
between the value of the shares of Common Stock and the exercise price under the original option
immediately before the Exchange Transaction. Similar adjustments will be made to the number of
shares of Exchange Stock and the base value per share covered by SARs that are converted. Unless
the Company’s board of directors determines otherwise, the vesting and other terms and conditions
of the converted options and SARs shall be substantially the same as the vesting and corresponding
other terms and conditions of the original options and SARs. The Company’ board of directors,
acting in its discretion, may accelerate vesting of other non-vested awards, and cause cash
settlements and/or other adjustments to be made to any outstanding awards (including, without
limitation, options and SARs) as it deems appropriate in the context of an Exchange Transaction,
taking into account with respect to other awards the manner in which outstanding options and SARs
are being treated.

          11.3 Definition of Exchange Transaction. For purposes of the plan, the term “Exchange
Transaction” means a merger (other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of Common
Stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of Common Stock in the
surviving corporation immediately after the merger), consolidation, acquisition or disposition of
property or stock, separation, reorganization (other than a mere reincorporation or the creation of
a holding company), liquidation of the Company or any other similar transaction or event so
designated by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion, as a result of which the
stockholders of the Company receive cash, stock or other property in exchange for or in connection
with their shares of Common Stock.

          11.4 Fractional Shares. In the event of any adjustment in the number of shares covered
by any award pursuant to the provisions hereof, any fractional shares resulting from such
adjustment shall be disregarded, and each such award shall cover only the number of full shares
resulting from the adjustment.

          11.5 Determination of Board to be Final. All adjustments under this Section shall be
made by the Company’s board of directors, and its determination as to what adjustments shall be
made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive.

     12. Termination and Amendment of the Plan. The board of directors of the Company may
terminate the plan at any time or amend the plan at any time and from time to time; provided,
however, that:

               (a) no such action shall impair or adversely alter any awards theretofore granted under the
plan, except with the consent of the recipient or holder, nor shall

-9-

 

any such action deprive any such person of any shares which he or she may have acquired
through or as a result of the plan; and

               (b) to the extent necessary under applicable law or the requirements of any stock exchange or
market upon which the shares of Common Stock may then be listed, no amendment shall be effective
unless approved by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no incentive stock options may be granted subsequent to the tenth
anniversary of the date the plan is adopted. The plan does not have a fixed termination date.

               (c) Limitation of Rights. Nothing contained in the plan or in any award agreement
shall confer upon any recipient of an award any right with respect to the continuation of his or
her employment or other service with the Company or a subsidiary or other affiliate, or interfere
in any way with the right of the Company and its subsidiaries and other affiliates at any time to
terminate such employment or other service or to increase or decrease, or otherwise adjust, the
compensation and/or other terms and conditions of the recipient’s employment or other service.

     13. Miscellaneous.

          13.1 Governing Law. The plan and the rights of all persons claiming under the plan
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of laws
principles thereof.

          13.2 Shares Issued Under Plan. Shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the
plan may be authorized and unissued, held by the Company in its treasury or otherwise acquired for
purposes of the plan. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued under the plan.

          13.3 Compliance with Law. The Company will not be obligated to issue or deliver shares
of Common Stock pursuant to the plan unless the issuance and delivery of such shares complies with
applicable law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange
Act, and the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which the Common Stock may then be
listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to
such compliance.

          13.4 Transfer Orders; Placement of Legends. All certificates for shares of Common
Stock delivered under the plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other
restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange or market upon which the Common Stock
may then be listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law. The Company may cause a
legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions.

          13.5 Decisions and Determinations Final. All decisions and determinations made by the
Company’s board of directors pursuant to the provisions hereof and, except to the extent rights or
powers under the Plan are reserved specifically to the discretion of the board of

-10-

 

directors, all decisions and determinations of the committee, shall be final, binding and
conclusive on all persons.

     13.6 Withholding of Taxes. As a condition to the exercise and/or settlement of any
award or the lapse of restrictions on any award or shares, or in connection with any other event
that gives rise to a federal or other governmental tax withholding obligation on the part of the
Company or a subsidiary with respect to an award, the Company and/or the subsidiary may (a) deduct
or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any payment or distribution otherwise
payable to the award recipient, whether or not such payment or distribution is covered by the plan,
or (b) require the recipient to remit cash (through payroll deduction or otherwise) or make other
arrangements permitted by the Company, in each case in an amount or of a nature sufficient in the
opinion of the Company to satisfy or provide for the satisfaction of such withholding obligation.
If the event giving rise to the withholding obligation involves a transfer of shares of Common
Stock, then, at the sole discretion of the committee, the recipient may satisfy the withholding
obligations associated with such transfer by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common
Stock or by tendering previously-owned shares of Common Stock, in each case having a fair market
value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld.

     13.7 Disqualifying Disposition. If a person acquires shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the exercise of an incentive stock option and the shares so acquired are sold or otherwise
transferred in a “disqualifying disposition” (within the meaning of Section 424(c) of the Code)
within two-years from the date the option was granted or one year after the option is exercised,
such person shall, within ten days of such disposition, notify the Company thereof, by delivery of
written notice to the Company at its principal executive office.

     13.8 Effective Date. The plan shall become effective on the date it is initially
approved and adopted by the Company’s board of directors. However, no awards may be made pursuant
to the plan after the date preceding the date of the first annual meeting of the Company’s
stockholders occurring after December 31, 2006, unless the Company’s stockholders approve the plan
at such meeting.
