ARTICLE III.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and
warrants to each of the Purchasers that, as of the date hereof and, except for representations and
warranties that speak as of a specific date other than the respective Closing Dates, on each
Closing Date:

(a) Subsidiaries. The Company does not directly or indirectly control or own any
equity interest in any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other Person, other than
its Subsidiaries, each of which are listed on Schedule 3.1(a). The Company owns, directly
or indirectly, all of the capital stock of each Subsidiary free and clear of any Encumbrance, other
than Permitted Encumbrances and restrictions on transfer under the Transaction Documents or arising
under U.S. federal or state securities Laws.

(b) Organization and Qualification. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(b),
each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated, validly existing and in
good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with the requisite power and
authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently
conducted. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(b), each of the Company and the
Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation
in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes
such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as
the case may be, would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite power and authority to
enter into and, subject to obtaining the Stockholder Approval, to consummate the Transactions and
otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of
each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation of the Transactions have been
duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and, subject to obtaining the
Stockholder Approval, no further consent or action is required by the Company, the Board or the
Company’s stockholders. Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly
executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute
the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
its terms. The only vote of the stockholders of the Company required to adopt this Agreement and
approve the Transactions is the Stockholder Approval. The Charter Amendment has been approved by a
majority of the Continuing Directors (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation).

(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation of the Transactions do not and will not (i) conflict
with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of
incorporation, by-laws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with
or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any contract to which the Company or any Subsidiary
is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected,
or (iii) result in a violation of any Law, except, in the cases of clauses (ii) and (iii), for any
such conflict, default, right, violation or other occurrence which would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

14

 

(e) Filings, Consents and Approvals. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is
required to obtain any Consent of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any
Governmental Authority or other Person in connection with the execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents or the consummation of the Transactions, other than (i) the filing with the
Commission of any Registration Statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) the
application to the Trading Market for the listing of the Common Shares and the Underlying Shares
for trading thereon on a when issued basis in the time and manner required thereby, (iii)
applicable Blue Sky filings and (iv) with respect to the purchase of the Preferred Shares and
Warrants only, (w) the filing of the Certificate of Designations, (x) the pre-transaction
notification requirements of the HSR Act, (y) applicable requirements of the Exchange Act in
connection with obtaining the Stockholder Approval (including the filing of the Proxy Statement)
and (z) the approval of the Trading Market of the terms of the Preferred Stock that was obtained,
subject to final documentation, prior to the date hereof.

(f) Issuance of the Securities. The Securities are duly authorized, and the Shares
and the Underlying Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Transaction Documents,
will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Encumbrances
and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or similar rights. The Company has reserved from its
duly authorized capital stock a number of shares of Common Stock for issuance upon the conversion
of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants not less than the total number of Underlying
Shares.

(g) Capitalization. The number of shares and type of all authorized, issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Company is set forth in Schedule 3.1(g). Except as set
forth on Schedule 3.1(g), no securities of the Company or any Subsidiary are entitled or
subject to preemptive or similar rights, and no Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive
right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in any of the Transactions. All
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and each Subsidiary have been duly authorized
and validly issued, are fully paid and are nonassessable, and have been issued in compliance with
all Laws. Except as a result of the sale of the Securities and as set forth on
Schedule 3.1(g), there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights to subscribe for, calls
or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations
convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire,
or contracts by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue or sell any
shares of capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, or securities or rights convertible or
exchangeable into shares of capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary. Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.1(g), the issue and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to
issue any securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of
any holder of the Company’s securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price
under such securities. The Common Stock is listed and posted for trading on the Trading Market.
The Company has not received notice (written or oral) from the Trading Market to the effect that
the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading
Market. The Company is in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. Except
as set forth on Schedule 3.1(g), the Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any
Person any rights (including “piggy back” registration rights) to have any securities of the
Company registered with the Commission or any other Governmental Authority.

included within the SEC Documents filed before the date hereof (the “Base Balance Sheet”), (ii)

certified therein and have not been modified or withdrawn, and neither the Company nor any of it
officers has received notice from any Governmental Authority questioning or challenging the
accuracy, completeness, content, form or manner of filing or submission of such Certifications.
Since the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Company has complied in all material respects
with the laws, rules and regulations thereunder. The Company has designed disclosure controls and
procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company and the Subsidiaries is made
known to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company by others

letter or advisory letter of the master and prototype or volume submitter plan sponsor of such

penalty or Tax liability; (2) all payments required by the Company Employee Plans, any collective
bargaining agreement or other contract, or by applicable Law (including all contributions,
insurance premiums or intercompany charges) with respect to all periods through the Closing Date
shall have been made before the Closing Date (on a pro rata basis where such payments are otherwise
discretionary at year end) or provided for by the Company as applicable, in accordance with the
provisions of each of the Company Employee Plans, applicable Law and GAAP; (3) no action has been
instituted or commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company, has been threatened or is anticipated
against any of the Company Employee Plans (other than non-material routine claims for benefits and
appeals of such claims), any trustee or fiduciaries thereof, the Company, any Subsidiary or any

any of the Company Employee Plans; (4) no Company Employee Plan is under audit or investigation by
the IRS, Department of Labor or any other governmental entity or has received notification by any

post-retirement benefits.

(m) Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default or violation of
any Order or Law other than such defaults or violations that, individually or in the aggregate,
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge, no
stockholder, director, officer, Employee or agent of the Company or of a Subsidiary has, directly
or indirectly, violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or any similar
Law, or made or agreed to make, any unlawful (x) payment, (y) gift or (z) political contribution
to, or taken any other unlawful action, for the benefit of any customer, supplier, governmental
employee or other Person who is or may be in a position to assist or hinder the business of the
Company or a Subsidiary. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess and are in compliance with the
terms and conditions of all Permits necessary for the Company or any such Subsidiary to own, lease
and operate its properties or to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC
Documents filed before the date hereof (including all Permits required under Environmental Laws and
the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission), except where noncompliance with any such
Permits, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of Proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any such Permit that, if revoked or modified, would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) Intellectual Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have (i) all right, title
and interest in and to all Company Intellectual Property, free and clear of all Encumbrances, other
than Permitted Encumbrances and (ii) all necessary proprietary rights in and to all Intellectual
Property used in, necessary for, or held for use in, their businesses as now conducted, free and
clear of all Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Company Intellectual Property
and Licensed Intellectual Property constitutes all of the Intellectual Property necessary for the
operation and conduct of, or otherwise material to, the businesses of the Company and the
Subsidiaries as now conducted. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no outstanding Orders
relating to the Company Intellectual Property. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries (y)
is bound by or a party to any contract with respect to the Intellectual Property of any other
Person, except with respect to a license contract regarding Licensed Intellectual Property or (z)
has received any written communication alleging that it has infringed or, by
conducting its business as proposed, would infringe the Intellectual Property rights of any
third Person.

 

19

 

Neither the execution and delivery of any Transaction Document, nor the consummation
of the Transactions will infringe the Intellectual Property rights of any Person or impair the
right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to own or use any Company Intellectual Property or
Licensed Intellectual Property, or require the Consent of any other Person in respect thereof. The
carrying on of the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ businesses as currently conducted does not
infringe the Intellectual Property rights of any Person. To the Company’s knowledge, there has
been no unauthorized use, infringement or misappropriation of the Company Intellectual Property or
Licensed Intellectual Property by any third party (including Employees, former Employees and
contract workers). To the Company’s knowledge, (i) all of the rights within the Company
Intellectual Property and Licensed Intellectual Property are valid and subsisting, and (ii) there
is no claim or demand of any Person pertaining to, or any Proceeding that is pending or threatened,
that challenges the rights of the Company or its Subsidiaries in respect of any Company
Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property or the validity, enforceability or
effectiveness of any Company Intellectual Property or Licensed Intellectual Property. The Company
and the Subsidiaries, in the ordinary course of business, obtain proper and effective assignments
or licenses or grants of authority to use, in each case in favor of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, the results and proceeds of the services of Persons employed or engaged by or on
behalf of the Company and the Subsidiaries, as applicable. To the Company’s knowledge, such
results and proceeds are used in accordance with the scope of the applicable assignments, licenses
or grants of authority. The Company and the Subsidiaries have all Intellectual Property rights
necessary to Exploit the Programs as Exploited by any of them.

(o) Insurance. Each Material Insurance Policy is legal, valid, binding and
enforceable in accordance with its terms and is in full force and effect, and neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary is in breach or default (including any such breach or default with respect to
the payment of premiums or the giving of notice), and no event has occurred that, with notice or
the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default, or permit termination or
modification, of any Material Insurance Policy. The Material Insurance Policies insure the Company
and the Subsidiaries against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are reasonably prudent.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew
its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage
from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business on terms consistent with past
practice. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(o), there are currently no material
Proceedings pending against the Company or any Subsidiary under the Material Insurance Policies.

(p) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. None of the officers or directors or
other Affiliates of the Company or any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the
Employees, is a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary, including any contract
providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director, Affiliate or
such Employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director,
Affiliate or any such Employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or
partner that in any such case is or would be required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation
S-K promulgated under the Securities Act (other than as adequately disclosed in the SEC Documents).

(q) Certain Fees. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(q), no brokerage or
finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor
or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the
Transactions. The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to
any claims (other than such fees or commissions owed by a Purchaser pursuant to written contracts
executed by such Purchaser which fees or commissions shall be the sole responsibility of such
Purchaser) made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section
that may be due in connection with the
Transactions. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, their employees,
officers, directors, agents, and partners, and their respective Affiliates, from and against all
Losses and expenses suffered in respect of any such claimed or existing fees, as such fees and
expenses are incurred.

(r) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its board of directors have
taken all necessary action to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business
combination, poison pill (including a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision
under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the Laws of its
state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the
Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the
Transaction Documents, including the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’
ownership of the Securities and issuance of any additional Securities pursuant to the Transaction
Documents.

(s) Investment Company; FIRPTA. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, an
investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company is not a
U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code.

(t) Material Contracts. Each Material Contract is in full force and effect and is a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable. Except as set
forth in Schedule 3.1(t), neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is and, to the knowledge
of the Company, no other party is, in default (and, to the knowledge of the Company, no condition
exists that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default by the Company
or any Subsidiary) in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any obligation, covenant or
condition contained in any such Material Contract, which default would give the other party the
right to terminate or modify in any material respect such Material Contract or would accelerate any
payment or material obligation by the Company or any Subsidiary, nor, to the knowledge of the
Company is any other party to any Material Contract in default thereunder (or, does any condition
exist that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default by any such
party). The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and
the consummation of the Transactions do not and will not conflict with, or constitute a default (or
an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others
any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse
of time or both) of, any of the Material Contracts. To the knowledge of the Company, since the
date of the Base Balance Sheet no party to any of the Material Contracts has exercised any option
granted to it to cancel, terminate or shorten the term of its Material Contract.

(u) Advertisers, Affiliates and Programming. Since January 1, 2007, to the Company’s
knowledge, other than as listed on Schedule 3.1(u), there has been no adverse change in the
business relationship of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any network, distributor,
studio, advertiser, radio or television broadcast affiliate, or content provider that could
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
such Person has (i) terminated, cancelled or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened to terminate
or cancel their business relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary; or (ii) demanded any
material modification, termination or limitation of its business relationship with the Company or
any Subsidiary, which, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Affiliation/Program Contract is in full force and effect, and
is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, except as
would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is and, to the knowledge of the Company, no other
party is, in default (and, to the knowledge of the Company, no condition exists that, with notice
or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default by the Company or any Subsidiary) in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any obligation, covenant or condition contained in any
such Affiliation/Program Contract, which default would give the other party the right to terminate
or
modify in any material respect such Affiliation/Program Contract or would accelerate any
payment or material obligation by the Company or any Subsidiary, nor, to the knowledge of the
Company is any other party to any Affiliation/Program Contract in default thereunder (or, does any
condition exist that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default by any
such party) except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

21

 

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by
the Company and the consummation of the Transactions do not and will not conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default)
under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with
or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any of the Affiliation/Program Contracts, except as
would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse
Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, since the date of the Base Balance Sheet no party to any
of the Affiliation/Program Contracts has exercised any option granted to it to cancel, terminate or
shorten the term of its Affiliation/Program Contract except as would not reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Environmental Matters. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (a) all of the current and past
operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries comply and have at all times complied with all
applicable Environmental Laws and the Company holds all Permits required under Environmental Laws
and (b) neither the Company nor any other Person has engaged in, authorized, allowed or suffered
any operations or activities upon any Property for the purpose of or in any way involving the
handling, manufacture, treatment, processing, storage, use, generation, release, discharge,
spilling, emission, dumping or disposal of any Hazardous Substances at, on, under or from such
Property except in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. There are no Hazardous
Substances in, on, under, at or migrating from the Real Property, or at any Property formerly
owned, leased, managed or operated by the Company or any Subsidiary at concentrations that would
violate applicable Environmental Laws or would reasonably be likely to result in the imposition of
liability or obligations on the Company or any Subsidiary, including any liability or obligations
for the investigation, corrective action, remediation or monitoring of Hazardous Substances in, on,
under, at or migrating from any of the Property. No Property nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any
real property at which the Company or any Subsidiary has disposed of Hazardous Substances, is
listed or proposed for listing on the National Priorities List pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42. U.S.C. § 9601 et seq., or any similar
inventory of sites maintained by any state or locality. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has
received any notice from any Governmental Authority or third party of any actual or threatened
Environmental Liabilities. There are no underground storage tanks or Hazardous Substances (other
than small quantities of Hazardous Substances for use in the ordinary course of business that are
stored, issued and maintained in accordance and full compliance with applicable Environmental Laws)
in, on, under or at the Property. There are no conditions existing at any Real Property that
require, or that with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both will reasonably likely
require, remedial or corrective action, removal, monitoring or closure pursuant to the
Environmental Laws. None of the Transactions will trigger any filing requirement or other action
under any Environmental Law.

(w) Title to Assets. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title
to all owned real property, good and valid leasehold interests in and to all leased real property,
and good and marketable title to all other tangible and intangible property owned by them that is
material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company Assets”), in each case
free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances, except such as do not
materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made of such
property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under
lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in material compliance and with
such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere
with the use made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries. Except
as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect, all tangible personal property is in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

 

22

 

(x) Disclosure. No representation or warranty by the Company contained in this
Agreement, and no information contained in the Schedules attached hereto, contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements made herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. Since the date of the Base Balance Sheet, except as specifically disclosed in the
SEC Documents filed before the date hereof or as described in Schedule 3.1(x), there has
been no Material Adverse Change, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
(i) changed its method of accounting or the identity of its auditors, (ii) declared or made any
dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or repurchased, redeemed or
made any contracts to repurchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock or (iii) issued any
equity securities to any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant to a Company Employee
Plan.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby, as to
itself only and for no other Purchaser, severally but not jointly, represents and warrants to the
Company as follows:

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the
requisite corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to enter into and
to consummate the Transactions and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the Transaction Documents to which it
is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if such Purchaser is not a
corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the
part of such Purchaser. Each of the Transaction Documents to which such Purchaser is a party has
been duly executed by such Purchaser and, when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with terms
hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it
in accordance with its terms.

(b) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for investment
purposes and not with a view to distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in
violation of applicable securities Laws, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at
all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with
applicable federal or state securities Laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a
representation or warranty by such Purchaser to hold the Securities for any period of time. Such
Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, and
therefore the Securities may not be sold, assigned or transferred in the U.S. other than pursuant
to (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or
(ii) an exemption from such registration requirements.

(c) Purchaser Status. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning
of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

(d) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result
of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in
any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any
seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

23

 

(e) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are being
offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of
U.S. federal
and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy
of, and such Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.

(f) Certain Fees. There is no broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder or
other Person that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of the Purchasers that is
entitled to any fee or commission from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in
connection with the Transactions. The Purchasers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
and its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and their respective
Affiliates, from and against all Losses suffered in respect of any such claimed or existing fees,
as such fees and expenses are incurred. To such Purchaser’s knowledge, none of the Persons listed
on Schedule 3.2(f) is entitled to any fee or commission from the Permitted Holders in
connection with the Transactions.

(g) Ability to Protect Its Own Investment and Bear Economic Risks. By reason of the
business and financial experience of each Purchaser, such Purchaser has the capacity to protect its
own interests in connection with the Transactions and is able to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Securities.

(h) Ability to Consummate Transactions. The Purchasers have available to them
sufficient funds to pay the Aggregate Purchase Price Consideration and to make other necessary
payments by the Purchasers in connection with the Transactions and will have available to them on
each Closing Date sufficient funds to pay such amounts. The Purchasers have delivered to the
Company a true and complete copy of the fully executed Equity Commitment Letter. The Equity
Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered, is in full force and effect and is a valid and binding
obligation of the Funds, enforceable against the Funds in accordance with its terms.

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Securities may only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities Laws. The Purchasers shall
not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (including by requiring any Affiliate to whom it
Transfers any Securities to agree to be bound by this sentence) not to, knowingly dispose of
Securities to the Persons listed on Schedule 4.1(a) (and their successors including any
successors to a material portion of any such Person’s assets) without obtaining the prior written
consent of the Company. Until the earlier of (a) 18 months from the date the Preferred Stock is
originally issued and (b) the date the accompanying Preferred Shares are converted into Common
Stock, no Warrants shall be transferable unless such transferor also transfers to the prospective
transferee a proportional amount of Preferred Shares owned by such transferor.

 

24

 

(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting on any certificate evidencing the Securities,
except as otherwise permitted by Section 4.1(c), of a restrictive legend in substantially
the form as follows, together with any additional legend required by (i) any applicable state
securities Laws and (ii) any securities exchange upon which such Securities may be listed:

(i) With respect to the Common Shares:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND, ACCORDINGLY CANNOT BE OFFERED, SOLD
OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL THEY ARE SO REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS EXEMPTION IS THEN AVAILABLE UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED TO A BANK OR FINANCIAL
LENDING INSTITUTION IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE LOAN.”

(ii) With respect to the Preferred Shares:

“NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HAVE
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF ANY STATE, AND, ACCORDINGLY CANNOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL THEY
ARE SO REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS EXEMPTION IS
THEN AVAILABLE UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE
SECURITIES AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION MAY BE PLEDGED TO A BANK
OR FINANCIAL LENDING INSTITUTION IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE LOAN.”

(iii) With respect to the Warrants:

“NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HAVE
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF ANY STATE, AND, ACCORDINGLY CANNOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL THEY
ARE SO REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS EXEMPTION IS
THEN AVAILABLE UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE
SECURITIES AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE MAY BE PLEDGED TO A BANK OR
FINANCIAL LENDING INSTITUTION IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE LOAN.”

THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER CONTAINED IN A
PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 25, 2008 (THE “PURCHASE AGREEMENT”), AMONG THE
COMPANY AND THE PURCHASERS SIGNATORY THERETO. ANY TRANSFER IN VIOLATION OF THE TERMS OF THE
PURCHASE AGREEMENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AB INITIO.”

(c) Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not be required to contain such legend or any
other legend (i) while a Registration Statement covering the resale of such Securities is effective
under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, or
(iii) if such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not
required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations
and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). Following the completion of any sale of
the Securities pursuant to an effective Registration Statement covering the resale of such
Securities under the Securities Act or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for
certain Securities, the Company will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a
Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing
such Securities, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a
certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends.
The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of
the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. The Company shall
take such action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required
from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

 

25

 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Purchaser may from time to time
pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities in connection with a bona fide
loan or financing arrangement with a bank or financial lending institution secured in part by the
Securities and, if required under the terms of such contract, loan or arrangement, such Purchaser
may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or
transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of the pledgee,
secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be
required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s sole expense, the Company will execute and
deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably
request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including the preparation and
filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders
thereunder; provided, that prior to any foreclosure such pledgee shall enter into an
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, agreeing to the
restrictions set forth in the Transaction Documents applicable to such pledgee.

(e) None of the Purchasers shall sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any of the
Common Shares until the earlier of (i) the Second Closing Date and (ii) termination of this
Agreement in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the foregoing
restrictions shall not apply (x) to a disposition of Common Shares to an unaffiliated third party
that makes a tender offer for Common Stock that is directed to all Company stockholders or (b) if
the Board modifies, changes or withdraws its Recommendation.

4.2 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to
ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or
otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that
would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the
registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers, or that
would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
regulations of the Trading Market.

4.3 Reservation and Listing of Securities.

The Company shall (a) maintain a reserve from its duly authorized Common Stock for issuance
pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations
in full under the Transaction Documents, (b) prepare and timely file with the Trading Market a
subsequent listing application covering all of the Common Stock issued or issuable under the
Transaction Documents, (c) use reasonable best efforts to cause such Common Stock to be approved
for listing on the Trading Market as soon as reasonably practicable following each of the Closing
Dates, (d) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing, and (e) use reasonable best efforts
to maintain the listing of such Common Stock on such Trading Market.

4.4 Fundamental Changes. From the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the Second
Closing Date and (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary shall, without first obtaining the written consent of Gores, take any of
the actions set forth in the subparagraphs 6(b)(i) through (xix) of the Certificate of Designations
(it being understood,
acknowledged and agreed by the Company and the Purchasers that the foregoing shall in no way
prohibit the Company from consummating an Approved Common Issuance or an Approved Preferred
Issuance).

 

26

 

4.5 Access.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, give each Purchaser and its representatives, at the request of the Purchasers,
access to the executive officers and properties, and shall request access to accountants, lenders
and material customers and suppliers, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and access to examine
the books and records relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries and to discuss the affairs and
finances of the Company and its Subsidiaries with the Chief Executive Officer and/or Chief
Financial Officer of Company. Any investigation pursuant to this Section shall be conducted during
normal business hours and in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and nothing herein shall require the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries to disclose any information to the extent (i) prohibited by applicable Law,
(ii) that the Company reasonably believes such information to be competitively sensitive
proprietary information (except to the extent the Purchasers provide reasonable assurances that
such information shall not be shared with employees of its or its Affiliates’ competing businesses
or otherwise used by the Purchaser or its Affiliates to compete with the Company and its
Subsidiaries) or (iii) that such disclosure would reasonably be expected to cause a loss of
privilege to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (provided that the Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under
circumstances where the restrictions in this clause (iii) apply).

(b) No investigation made by Gores and its employees, advisors and other representatives shall
affect the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement, and each such representation, warranty and agreement shall survive any such
investigation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) From and after the First Closing until the earlier of (i) the Second Closing and (ii)
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall concurrently deliver
to the Purchasers copies of all written materials provided by the Company to the members of the
Board in their capacity as such or as members of any committee thereof, except that the Company (A)
shall not be required to deliver to the Purchasers any materials (or portions thereof) if such
disclosure would reasonably be expected to cause a loss of privilege to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make
appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances where this restriction applies)
and (B) shall be entitled to redact materials regarding any Restricted Transaction as to which the
Company is required to provide the Purchasers with information with respect thereto pursuant to
Section 4.9(a).

(d) Upon the earlier of (i) the First Closing, and (ii) the date the Company receives a Sale
of the Company Proposal, the provisions set forth in Section 4 of the Confidentiality Agreement
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(e) The provisions of Section 4.5(a) shall terminate and no longer be of any effect
from and after such time as Purchasers no longer beneficially own Securities representing at least
five percent of the Common Stock then outstanding.

(f) Concurrently with the Second Closing, the Company shall provide Purchasers with copies of
all offers or proposals received by the Company from and after October 1, 2007 with respect to the
Sale of the Company or a material investment in the Company’s securities.

 

27

 

4.6 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use all of the net proceeds from the sale of
the Securities hereunder to repay a portion of outstanding amounts under its current credit
facility and pay Company transaction fees and expenses as set forth on Schedule 4.6.

4.7 D & O Insurance; Board. So long as any Purchaser has a designee on the Company’s
board of directors, the Company shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
providing coverage in such amounts and on such terms as is customary for a publicly traded company
of similar size to the Company but in no event in an amount less than $12,500,000. Such insurance
shall include coverage for all directors of the Company, including any director designated by any
Purchaser. The board of directors of the Company shall consist of not more than eleven members.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that meetings of its board of directors
are held at least four times each year and at least once each quarter. The Company shall provide
adequate advance notice of such meetings to all members of the board of directors as provided in
the Company’s bylaws. In addition, the Company will pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the directors designated or nominated by the Purchasers in connection with their
participation in meetings of the Board (and committees thereof) and the boards of directors (and
committees thereof) of the Subsidiaries. The Preferred Directors (as defined in the Certificate of
Designations) and the independent director nominated by the holders of the Preferred Shares
pursuant to the Certificate of Designations shall receive the same indemnification agreements and
compensation as the other non-employee directors of the Company; provided that the foregoing shall
not entitle the Preferred Directors to any equity based awards.

4.8 Properties, Business Insurance. The Company shall obtain and maintain and cause
each of its Subsidiaries to maintain as to their respective properties and business, with
financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance against such casualties, contingencies and
other risks and hazards and of such types and in such amounts as are reasonably prudent.

4.9 Exclusivity.

(a) During the Restricted Period, the Company will not, and will cause its Affiliates and the
directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of each of them not to, directly or
indirectly, solicit, initiate, respond to, encourage, or provide any information or negotiate with
respect to, any inquiry, proposal or offer from any other party or enter into any contract,
agreement or arrangement relating to any equity or equity linked transaction (other than pursuant
to bona fide employment benefit plans), or any sale of all or any material part of the Company’s or
any Subsidiary’s business or assets, including through any asset sale, exclusive license, merger,
reorganization or other form of business combination, or any other transaction that would otherwise
be inconsistent in any material respect with the Transactions (each, a “Restricted Transaction”).
The Company will promptly (and in any event within two (2) Trading Days) notify the Purchasers in
writing describing the initial and all other material contacts (including copies of all written
material, and reasonably detailed summary of all material oral contacts) between the Company or a
Subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or
representatives and any other Person regarding any such inquiry, proposal or offer received on or
after the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.9 shall
limit or restrict the ability of the Company to consummate an Approved Common Issuance or an
Approved Preferred Issuance.

 

28

 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a), if the Company receives a Sale of the Company
Proposal and the Board reasonably concludes in good faith, after consultation with Company Counsel
and a financial advisor of national recognized reputation, that (i) the failure to consider and
negotiate such Sale of the Company Proposal would be inconsistent with fiduciary duties to its
stockholders under applicable Law, and (ii) such Sale of the Company, if consummated is likely to
result
in the Common Stock holders receiving value in excess of the value of the Common Stock
following the transactions contemplated hereby, the Board after giving Purchasers prior written
notice of the identity of the third party making such Sale of the Company Proposal, the material
terms and conditions of such Sale of the Company Proposal, and the Company’s intention to furnish
information to, or participate in discussions or negotiations with, the person making such
proposal, may, and may authorize and permit the Company’s officers, directors, employees, financial
advisors, representatives, or agents to, (i) provide the Offeror with nonpublic information,
(ii) participate in discussions and negotiations with the Offeror relating to such Sale of the
Company Proposal and (iii) enter into or execute any confidentiality agreements relating thereto;
provided, that (1) the Company provides the Purchasers with a copy of all such information
that has not been previously provided to the Purchasers simultaneously with the delivery to the
Offeror and (2) the Company enters into a confidentiality agreement with the Offeror on terms
(including standstill) no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality
Agreement.

(c) Prior to making or authorizing any public statement with respect to any Sale of the
Company Proposal or modification, change or withdrawal of the Recommendation, the Company shall
provide to Purchasers a written notice (i) that the Board of Directors is prepared to recommend
such Sale of the Company Proposal or modify, withdraw or change its Recommendation, (ii) specifying
in reasonable detail the consideration and other material terms and conditions of such Sale of the
Company Proposal and including a copy of all material written materials provided to or by the
Company in connection with such Sale of the Company Proposal, (iii) stating such sale of the
Company Proposal meets the requirements of Section 4.9(b) and (iv) identifying the Offeror. The
Company shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith with the Purchasers during the three (3)
Business Day period following such notice (it being understood that any amendment to the financial
terms or any other material term of such Sale of the Company Proposal shall require a new notice
and a new three (3) Business Day period) to make an offer to acquire the Company. If the
Purchasers do not make a bona fide written offer (together with reasonable evidence that the
Purchasers have or can obtain pursuant to legally binding obligations sufficient funds to
consummate such offer) that the Board of Directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment
(after consultation with Company Counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized
reputation) to be at least as favorable to the holders of Common Stock (other than Purchasers and
their respective Affiliates), from a financial point of view, as such Sale of the Company Proposal,
and the Company has complied with Section 4.9(a) and (b) above, the Board may
withhold or withdraw its Recommendation and if permitted pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(vii),
may terminate this Agreement. The Company agrees that its obligations to consummate the Common
Shares Transaction and, if the Stockholder Approval is obtained, to consummate the Preferred
Share/Warrant Transactions, shall not be affected by Section 4.9 or any Sale of the Company

(d) Without limitation, for the purposes of the foregoing, any communications that discuss the
consideration or any other material term or condition of a Sale of the Company Proposal shall be
deemed to be material.

the extent permitted by Law and subject to Section 4.9(c), include in the Proxy Statement

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
except as permitted by Section 4.9(c) and the last sentence of this subsection (a), the
Board shall not withdraw or adversely modify or change such Recommendation. Unless this Agreement
is terminated in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof, the Company shall remain obligated to convene
and hold the Stockholders’ Meeting to consider the adoption of this Agreement and to take the other
actions required by this paragraph regardless of whether the Recommendation shall have been
withheld, withdrawn, modified or changed. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the
Board from withdrawing or making a change or modification of its Recommendation if, in the good
faith judgment of the Board, after consultation with Company Counsel and a financial advisor of
national recognized reputation, the failure to make such withdrawal, modification or change would
be inconsistent with fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable Law.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days
following the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission the Proxy
Statement that will be used to solicit the Stockholder Approval. The Company shall give Purchasers

Company shall provide Purchasers and their counsel with copies of all written comments and other
communications (including any material verbal responses) the Company or its counsel receives from
the Commission or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement, in such case promptly after
receipt of such comments or other communications. The Company shall give Purchasers and their
counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any written or verbal responses to the
Commission (which shall not be less than three (3) Business Days) before the provision thereof to
the Commission. If at any time prior to the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the
Company’s stockholders there shall occur any event that is required to be set forth in an amendment
or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement would not include any
misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company
shall promptly prepare and mail to its stockholders such amendment or supplement. The Company
shall not mail the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, without reasonable
advance consultation with Purchasers and their counsel (which shall not be less than three (3)
Business Days).

(c) The Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants that: The Proxy Statement will not,
at the date it is filed with the Commission, at the date it is mailed or distributed to the
stockholders of the Company or at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they are made, not misleading, except for any corrections or supplements to any preliminary proxy
statement that are made in the final Proxy Statement. The Proxy Statement will comply as to form
in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, except for any corrections or
supplements to any preliminary proxy statement that are made in the final Proxy Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to any
information supplied by the Purchasers specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in
the Proxy Statement.

4.11 Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent lawful, and hold harmless each
Purchaser and Related Person, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses, as
incurred,
directly or indirectly arising out of, based upon or relating to (a) any breach by the Company
of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or (b) any Proceeding by or against any Person, directly or indirectly, in connection with
or as a result of any of any of the Transactions except to the extent any such Proceeding arose out
of, is based upon or relates to any act or failure to act by the Purchasers that is in breach in
any material respect of this Agreement or in violation of any Law.

(b) If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party, such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall assume the
defense thereof, including the engagement of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof;
provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve
the Company of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the
extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which
determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially
adversely prejudiced the Company.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to engage separate counsel in any such Proceeding
and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Company has agreed in writing to
pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of
such Proceeding; (iii) the Company shall have failed promptly to engage counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding (in each case, only with respect to
such Indemnified Party); or (iv) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Affiliates, and such
Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist
if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Company or such Affiliates (in
which case, under any of clauses (i) through (iv), such counsel shall be at the expense of the
Company). The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without
its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending
Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding.

(c) The indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations of the Company under this
Section 4.11 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives of the Indemnified Parties. If the Company breaches its obligations under any
Transaction Document, then, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have under any
Transaction Document or applicable Law, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Indemnified Parties
on demand for all costs of collection and enforcement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses), provided that the Indemnified Parties prevail in such matters. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company specifically agrees to reimburse the Indemnified
Parties on demand for all costs of enforcing the indemnification obligations in this paragraph,
subject to the Indemnified Parties entering into an undertaking to reimburse all such amounts, in
the event the Indemnified Parties do not prevail on such matters. For purposes of clarity, the
provisions contained in this Section 4.11 shall not constitute the exclusive remedies of
any Indemnified Party hereunder.

 

31

 

4.12 Approvals; Taking of Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) take or cause to
be taken all actions, and to do or cause to be done all other things, necessary, proper or
advisable to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable, and (ii) obtain in a timely
manner all necessary Consents and effect all
necessary registrations and filings, including the approval of the Trading Market and any
approvals required under the HSR Act. The Company shall be responsible for all filing fees
required to be paid in connection any filings or approvals required under the HSR Act. The
Purchasers and the Company shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all
such filings, including providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing party and its
advisors before filing. The Purchasers and the Company shall use their respective commercially
reasonable efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other
filing to be made pursuant to the rules and regulations of any applicable Law in connection with
the Transactions. The Company shall give any notices to third parties, and use their commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain any third party Consents related to or required in connection with or
to consummate the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other covenant contained
herein, in connection with the receipt of any necessary Consents, including under the HSR Act or
under any applicable foreign anti-trust laws, nothing shall require the Company to (i) divest or
hold separate any material part of its businesses or operations or (ii) agree not to compete in any
geographic area or line of business or agree to take, or not to take, any other action or comply
with any other term or condition, in such a manner as would reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

determination” to the contrary within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code

particular matter; and

or authorize any of its Affiliates to issue) any press release or make any other public disclosures
concerning the Transactions or the contents of the Transaction Documents without prior consultation
with the other party. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section will preclude any party
hereto or its Affiliates from making any disclosures required by applicable Law or the rules of any
applicable securities exchange or necessary and proper in conjunction with any document required to
be filed with any Governmental Authority.

4.16 Directors. The Purchasers agree that so long as they are legally entitled to do

federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and U.S. federal courts sitting in

connection herewith or with any Transaction or discussed herein (including with respect to the
enforcement of any of this Agreement), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight
delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under
this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process
and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to
serve process in any manner permitted by Law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal

6.12 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of
which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. If any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party
executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

6.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt
in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute
therefor and effects the original intent of the parties as closely as possible, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

6.14 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever
any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the
Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then
such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written
notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without
prejudice to its future actions and rights.

6.15 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any
Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of evidence to the Company’s
reasonable satisfaction of such mutilation, loss, theft or destruction, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of
and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument. Applicants for such substitute
certificates shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable
charges incidental thereto as the Company may reasonably prescribe.

6.16 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein
or granted by Law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be
entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary
damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any Proceeding for
specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate.

6.17 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. After the date hereof and before the
Second Closing, in the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in
Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to
receive, directly or indirectly, Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or
event (and including all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or upon
exercise of the Warrants) occurring after the date hereof, each reference in this Agreement to a
number of shares or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.

redemption shall be entitled to all preferences and relative and other rights accorded by this
resolution until and including the time of redemption and (ii) from and after the time of
redemption the shares called for redemption shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all
rights of the Holders of such shares shall cease and terminate, except the right of the Holders of
such shares, upon surrender of certificates therefor, to receive amounts to be paid hereunder.

(e) The deposit of monies and shares of Common Stock in trust with the Redemption Agent shall
be irrevocable except that the Corporation shall be entitled to receive from the Redemption Agent
the interest or other earnings, if any, earned on any monies so deposited in trust, and the Holders
of any shares redeemed shall have no claim to such interest or other earnings, and any balance of
monies so deposited by the Corporation and unclaimed by the Holders entitled thereto at the
expiration of two years from the Redemption Date shall be repaid, together with any interest or
other earnings thereon, to the Corporation, and after any such repayment, the Holders of the shares
entitled to the funds so repaid to the Corporation shall look only to the Corporation for such
payment, without interest.

shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date upon the terms

adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, reclassifications, combinations or similar type
events), (each date on which (i) or (ii) is satisfied, a “Mandatory Conversion Trigger”),
the Corporation may elect to require the Holders to convert all (but not less than all) shares of

Conversion Trigger. Such notice shall specify (A) the Conversion Price and the Liquidation
Preference as of the date of such notice, (B) if the Corporation is converting pursuant to (i)
above, the beginning and end dates of the 90 Trading Day period and the Closing Price for each
Trading Date in such period and (C) if the Corporation is converting pursuant to (ii) above, the
date of such sale, the amount of net cash proceeds to the Corporation, the name of the purchaser
and the price per share. The date upon which such notice is delivered is referred to herein as the
“Mandatory Conversion Date.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may not
require any conversion under this subparagraph 5(b) (and any notice thereof will be void), unless
on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Closing Price equals or exceeds $4.00. On the Mandatory
Conversion Date the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without
any further action by the Corporation or the Holders of such shares and whether or not the
certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent;
provided, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue to any such Holder
certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless
certificates evidencing the shares of Preferred Stock duly endorsed or an affidavit of lost
certificates, in each case, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation are delivered either
to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Any Holder may exercise its conversion right specified in
subparagraph 5(a) by surrendering to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation the
certificate or certificates or an affidavit of lost certificates, in each case, duly endorsed in
form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation for the shares to be converted, accompanied by
written notice substantially in the form set forth in Annex A.

Conversion pursuant to exercise of the conversion right specified in subparagraph 5(a) shall
be deemed to have been effected prior to the opening of the Trading Market on the date when
delivery of certificates for shares is made and such date is referred to herein as the
“Optional Conversion Date”.

 

	
	5 18 months from the Issue Date.

 

A-8

 

As promptly as practicable thereafter (and after surrender of the certificate or certificates
representing shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation or any transfer agent of the Corporation
in the case of conversions pursuant to subparagraph 5(a)), the Corporation shall issue and deliver
to or upon the written order of such Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full
 shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled and a check or cash with respect to
any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock as provided in subparagraph 5(d).

The Person in whose name the certificate or certificates for Common Stock are to be issued
shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock on the applicable Conversion
Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a certificate
representing shares of Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion (in the case of conversion
pursuant to subparagraph 5(a)), the Corporation shall issue and deliver to or upon the written
order of the Holder of the certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the
Corporation, a new certificate covering the number of shares of Preferred Stock representing the
unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered.

(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip shall be issued upon
conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Preferred Stock shall be
surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of
shares of Preferred Stock so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which
would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall
pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to that fractional
interest of the Closing Price for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which the
Preferred Stock is converted.

(e) Conversion Price Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:

(i) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions or Combinations. If the Corporation shall (A) declare a
dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (B) subdivide
the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (C)
combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the
Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the
effective date of such subdivision or combination shall be proportionately adjusted so that the
holder of any shares of Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion after such date shall be
entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or been entitled
to receive had such Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such date. Successive
adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be made whenever any event specified above shall occur.

 

A-9

 

(ii) Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Lease, Conveyance or Reclassification. In case of any
consolidation with or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation, or in case of any
sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety or
substantially as an entirety (where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common
Stock), or any reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation, each share of Preferred
Stock shall after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or
reclassification be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property
(including cash) to which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such consolidation, merger,
sale, lease, conveyance or reclassification) upon conversion of such share
of Preferred Stock would have been entitled upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease,
conveyance or reclassification; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein
with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holders shall be appropriately adjusted
so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock or other securities
or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock. If the
Corporation shall propose to take any action of the type described in this clause (ii), the
Corporation shall give notice to each Holder, which notice shall specify the record date, if any,
with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place.
Such notice shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary
to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known on the date of such
notice) on the Conversion Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or
property which shall be deliverable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock. In the case of
any action that would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least ten
(10) days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given
at least fifteen (15) days prior to taking such proposed action.

(iii) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever a Conversion Price shall be adjusted, the
Corporation shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock and
at the principal office of the Corporation, a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts
requiring such adjustment and the Conversion Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment,
and the Corporation shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent to each Holder. Each such
statement shall be signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation.

(f) Notice to Holders. All notices permitted or required to be sent by the Corporation to the
Holders pursuant to this Certificate of Designations shall be sent by overnight courier or first
class certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders at the addresses appearing on the
Corporation’s records.

(g) Treasury Stock. The sale or other disposition of any Common Stock theretofore held in the
Corporation’s treasury shall be deemed to be an issuance thereof.

(h) Costs. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional
taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any
shares of Preferred Stock; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any taxes
which may be payable in respect of any transfer and involved in the issuance or delivery of any
certificate for such shares in a name other than that of the Holder of the shares of Preferred
Stock in respect of which such shares are being issued, and no such issue or delivery shall be made
unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the amount of any
such tax, or has established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has
been or will be paid.

 

A-10

 

(i) Shares to be Fully Paid. The Corporation will take all action necessary to assure that
all shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Encumbrances and shall not be
subject to preemptive rights or similar rights of stockholders, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal
to or less than the then effective Conversion Price.

(j) Reservation of Shares. At all times as long as any Preferred Stock remains outstanding,
the Corporation will take all action necessary to assure that it has authorized, and reserved for
the purpose of issue upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, a sufficient number of shares of
Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Preferred Stock in full.

(k) Approvals. The Corporation will take all action necessary to assure that shares of Common
Stock may be validly and legally issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and in compliance
with the requirements of all Laws and any securities exchange upon which the Common Stock may be
listed. The Corporation will not take any action that could result in any adjustment hereunder if
the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon conversion or redemption
of the Preferred Stock in full, together with all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all
shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all options or warrants and upon conversion
of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of Common
Stock then authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation.

6. Voting Rights.

(a) In addition to the special voting rights provided below and by applicable Law, the Holders
shall be entitled to vote upon all matters upon which holders of the Common Stock have the right to
vote, and shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the largest number of full shares of
Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock could be converted pursuant to the
provisions of paragraph 5 hereof at the record date for the determination of the stockholders
entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote
is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, such votes to be counted together
with all other shares of capital stock having general voting powers and not separately as a class.
In all cases where the Holders have the right to vote separately as a class, such Holders shall be
entitled to one vote for each such share held by them respectively.

(b) So long as the Permitted Holders in the aggregate own at least 50% of the shares of
Preferred Stock issued on the Issue Date, the Corporation shall not and shall not permit any of its
subsidiaries to without the consent of the Holders of a majority of shares of Preferred Stock then
outstanding, given in writing or by vote at a meeting of Holders called for such purpose, directly
or indirectly:

distinction as to any series or class of Voting Stock) in the surviving Person immediately after

shares of Common Stock issued at a price per share below $3.00 (in each case, subject to adjustment
for stock dividends, subdivisions, reclassifications, combinations or similar type events), (D)
shares of Common Stock issued at a price per share at or above $3.00 (subject to adjustment for
stock dividends, subdivisions, reclassifications, combinations or similar type events) and (E) on
or before [  ], 2008,8 the Approved Preferred Issuance (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement);

Corporation or any Subsidiary (other than the Preferred Stock) other than (A) purchases of up to

Common Stock in the aggregate pursuant to bona fide employee benefit plans or arrangements approved

adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, reclassifications, combinations or similar type
events);

amend the by-laws of the Corporation, in a manner that materially adversely affects the rights
of the Holders;

(xi) create, reclassify any shares of capital stock of the Corporation into or issue, any

Stock (it being understood and agreed that this clause (xi) shall not prohibit the issuance of
capital stock, the proceeds from the sale of which are concurrently used to redeem the Preferred
Stock in full);

(xii) adopt any Budget or approve or permit any material variances therefrom;

(xiii) make annual capital expenditures (including capital expenditures included in the
Budget) in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate;

(xiv) incur, guarantee or prepay any Debt that would cause the Total Debt Ratio (each as

the end of each calendar year, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall present to the
Board and Gores Radio Holdings, LLC an annual operating budget for the following calendar year.
The budget as presented by the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall become the budget
(the “Budget”) for such calendar year only when approved in accordance with subparagraph
6(b). If the Budget is not approved for any calendar year prior to March 1 of such year in
accordance with subparagraph 6(b), then the Budget for that calendar year shall be the Budget from
the prior calendar year plus 5% (excluding the prior year’s extraordinary and nonrecurring items).

 

A-13

 

(d) So long as the Permitted Holders in the aggregate own at least 50% of the shares of
Preferred Stock issued on the Issue Date, (i) the Holders, voting separately as a class, shall be
entitled at each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or at any special
meeting called for the purpose of electing directors to elect one (1) Class I director, one (1)
Class II director and one (1) Class III director (the “Preferred Directors”);
provided, that on the first date on which fewer than 66 2/3% of the shares of Preferred
Stock issued on the Issue Date are outstanding, the Permitted Holders shall identify one of the
existing Preferred Directors whose term shall immediately terminate (unless the number of Preferred
Directors is reduced as a result of the election by the Corporation to force conversion of the
Preferred Stock under subparagraph 5(b), in which case such Preferred Director’s term shall
continue until the next special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company called for the
purpose of electing directors), and the Holders shall thereafter be entitled to elect two (2)
directors (one from each Class other than the Class to which the terminated director belonged);
(ii) the Board shall nominate for election as director at least one nominee proposed by the Holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding that is independent
within the meaning of the listing standards contained in the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company
Manual; (iii) the Vice Chairman of the Board shall be the director designated by a majority of the
Preferred Directors; and (iv) the Chairman of the Board shall be the director designated by a
majority of the Preferred Directors (who shall be neither a Preferred Director nor an independent
director nominated for election to the Board by the Holders). At any time the Permitted Holders in
the aggregate fail to own at least 50% of the shares of Preferred Stock issued on the Issue Date,
the terms of the Preferred Directors shall immediately terminate (unless such failure to own the
requisite percentage is as a result of the election by the Corporation to force conversion of the
Preferred Stock under subparagraph 5(b), in which case such Preferred Director’s term shall
continue until the next special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company called for the
purpose of electing directors). For the avoidance of doubt, at no time shall there be more than
three (3) directors on the Board elected by the Holders under clause (i) of this subparagraph 6(d).
The initial Preferred Directors shall be those Persons who are designated by the Permitted Holders
on the Issue Date to serve until their successors are duly elected. Except as set forth above, a
Preferred Director may only be removed by the vote of the holders of a majority of shares of the
Preferred Stock then outstanding, at a vote of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock,
voting as a single class, at a meeting called for such purpose (or by written consent in lieu of
such a meeting). If for any reason a Preferred Director shall resign or otherwise be removed from
the Board, then his or her replacement shall be a Person elected by the Holders of a majority of
the shares of the Preferred Stock then outstanding, in accordance with the voting procedures set
forth in this subparagraph 6(d).

The Secretary of the Corporation may, and, upon the written request of the Holders of record
of 10% or more of the number of shares of the Preferred Stock then outstanding addressed to such
Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation, shall, call a special meeting of the Holders
for the election of the directors to be elected by them as hereinabove provided, to be held in the
case of such written request within forty (40) days after delivery of such request, and in either
case to be held at the place and upon the notice provided by Law and in the Corporation’s Bylaws
for the holding of meetings of stockholders.

 

A-14

 

7. Preemptive Rights.

(a) For so long as the Permitted Holders own in the aggregate at least 50% of the Preferred
Stock issued on the Issue Date, before any issuance by the Corporation of any Voting Stock (other
than Excluded Stock) at a price less than $4.00 per share (subject to adjustment for stock
dividends, subdivisions, reclassifications, combinations or similar type events), the Corporation
shall give written notice (a “Preemptive Notice”) thereof to each Holder. The Preemptive
Notice shall:

(i) specify the material terms of the security or securities to be issued (the “Preemptive
Shares”), the proposed purchasers, the date of issuance (which date shall not be less than ten
(10) nor more than twenty (20) Business Days after the date of delivery of the Preemptive Notice),
the consideration that the Corporation will receive therefor and any other material term or
condition of such issuance; and

(ii) contain an offer to sell to each Holder Preemptive Shares at the same price and for the
same consideration to be paid by the purchaser, in an amount so that each such Holder shall
maintain its fully diluted percentage interest in the total voting power of the Corporation.

(b) Each such Holder shall be entitled, by written notice to the Corporation not less than
three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, to elect to purchase all or part of
the Preemptive Shares offered to such Holder in the Preemptive Notice on the terms and conditions
set forth therein. In the event that any such offer is accepted by any Holder, the Corporation
shall sell to such Holder, and such Holder shall purchase from the Corporation for the
consideration and on the terms set forth in the Preemptive Notice the securities that such Holder
has elected to purchase on the same day it issues (or would have issued) the Preemptive Shares.

(c) If the Corporation does not proceed with the proposed issuance of capital stock specified
in the Preemptive Notice on the terms and conditions set forth therein, then the provisions of this
paragraph 7 shall again be in effect with respect to any subsequent issuance.

8. Headings of Subdivisions. The headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions
hereof.

9. Severability of Provisions. If any right, preference or limitation of the Preferred Stock
set forth in this resolution (as such resolution may be amended from time to time) is invalid,
unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of Law or public policy, all other
rights, preferences and limitations set forth in this resolution (as so amended) which can be given
effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall,
nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no right, preference or limitation herein set
forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other such right, preference or limitation unless so
expressed herein.

 

A-15

 

10. Status of Reacquired Shares. Shares of Preferred Stock which have been issued and
reacquired in any manner shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the Laws
of the State of Delaware) have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock
issuable in series undesignated as to series and, subject to the provisions hereof, may be
redesignated and reissued.

11. Amendment. No provision of this Certificate of Designations may be amended, except in a
written instrument signed by the Corporation and Holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred
Stock then outstanding. Any of the rights of the Holders set forth herein may be waived by the
affirmative vote of Holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding. No
waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Certificate
of Designations shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any
subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall
any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the
exercise of any such right.

Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold and (iii) the date as
of which each Holder is permitted to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without
volume limitations or any other restrictions (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(b) Subject to Section 4, the Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable
best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if it
voluntarily takes any action that results in Holders of Registrable Securities covered thereby not
being able to offer and sell such Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period, unless
(i) such action is required by law or the applicable interpretations thereof by the Commission’s
staff or (ii) such action is taken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons
(which shall not include avoidance of its obligations hereunder), provided, that the
Company on or prior to 45 days thereafter complies with the requirements of Section 6(j) to
the extent permitted by law or interpretation by the Commission’s staff.

3. Demand Underwritten Registration.

(a) If at any time the Company shall receive a Purchaser Request that the Company file a
registration statement under the Securities Act or prepare a prospectus supplement to an effective
Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 above in order to effect an
underwritten offering, then the Company shall, within 10 days of the receipt thereof, give written
notice of such request to all Holders and, subject to Section 4 below, shall prepare and
file (as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 60 days after the date
the Company receives the Purchaser Request) a Registration Statement with respect to all
Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered (which shall be on Form S-3 or
other available form designated by the underwriters) and use its reasonable best efforts to (x)
cause such Registration Statement to become effective and (y) keep such Registration Statement
continuously effective under the Securities Act for a period of not less than 120 days or such
shorter period as is necessary to complete the distribution of the Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement.

 

B-3

 

(b) If the Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by
means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant
to this Section 3 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice
referred to in Section 3(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include such
Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided below. A majority in interest of the Holders of Registrable
Securities participating in the underwriting shall select the managing underwriter or
underwriters in such underwriting subject to the reasonable approval of the Company. All Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall, together with the Company
as provided in Section 6(n), enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the underwriter or underwriters so selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of such
Holders; provided, however, that the Holders (or any of their assignees) shall not be
required by the Company to make any representations, warranties or indemnities except as they
relate to such Holder’s ownership of shares and authority to enter into the underwriting agreement
and to such Holder’s intended method of distribution, and the liability of such Holder shall be
limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if the underwriter advises a Holder
that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the
Holder shall so advise the Company and the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable
Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated as follows: (i)
first, among Holders of Registrable Securities that have elected to participate in such
underwritten offering and CBS to the extent, but only to the extent, CBS elects to participate in
such underwritten offering pursuant to the CBS Registration Rights Agreement, in proportion (as
nearly as practicable) to the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders
and the amount of CBS Registrable Securities held by CBS, until such Holders have included in the
underwriting all shares requested by such holders to be included, and (ii) thereafter, among all
other holders of Common Stock, if any, that have the right and have elected to participate in such
underwritten offering, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of shares of Common
Stock owned by such holders. Without the consent of a majority in interest of the Holders of
Registrable Securities participating in a registration referred to in Section 3(a), no
securities other than Registrable Securities and the CBS Registrable Securities shall be covered by
such registration if the inclusion of such other securities would result in a reduction of the
number of Registrable Securities covered by such registration or included in any underwriting or
if, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, the inclusion of such other securities would
adversely impact the marketing of such offering.

(c) The Company shall be obligated to effect only four registrations (and only if such
registration would include Registrable Securities with an aggregate value of at least $15,000,000,
calculated using the stated offering price disclosed on the cover of the final prospectus covering
such Registrable Securities) pursuant to a Purchaser Request under this Section 3 (except
as provided in the next sentence, an offering that is not consummated and an offering pursuant to
Section 2 above shall not be counted for this purpose); provided, that no more than
two Purchaser Requests shall be made in any 12-month period. The registration of Registrable
Securities under this Section 3 shall not be deemed to have been requested unless such
registration becomes effective (provided that if, within 120 days after it has become effective,
the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is interfered with by any stop
order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court,
such registration will be deemed not to have become effective unless 80% of such Registrable
Securities have been sold pursuant to such registration), and if the registration has remained
effective for 120 days without such interference such registration shall be deemed to have been
requested regardless of whether any of the Registrable Securities are ultimately sold pursuant to
such registration. In addition to the foregoing, if CBS participates in a registration of
Registrable Securities under this Section 3, such registration shall not be deemed to
have been requested unless 80% of the Registrable Securities originally requested by the Holders to
be included in such registration have been sold pursuant to such registration. The Company may
grant piggyback registration rights with respect to any registration statement demanded pursuant to
this Section 3, provided that any such rights shall be subject to the priority of Holders’
rights under this Section 3.

 

B-4

 

4. Postponement; Suspension. If at the time a request for registration is made
pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3, or at any time during the Effectiveness Period,
the Company is in the process of or desires to register securities under the Securities Act for
sale by it or has pending or in process a material transaction, the disclosure of which would, in
the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, materially and adversely affect
the Company, the Company may defer the filing (but not the preparation) of the requested
Registration Statement, or suspend the use of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be
(a) in the case of another registration statement in process, until the filing or abandonment of
such registration statement but in no event longer than 105 days, and (b) in the case of a material
transaction, for up to 105 days (but the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve
the transaction and file the Registration Statement as soon as practicable); provided,
however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any 12-month period.

5. Piggy-Back Registrations.

(a) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for
this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of
its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of
such securities solely for cash (other than a registration on Form S-8 (or similar or successor
form) relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan or to other
compensatory arrangements to the extent includable on Form S-8 (or similar or successor form), or a
registration on Form S-4 (or similar or successor form)), the Company shall, at such time, promptly
give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder
given within 30 days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section
10(g) below, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be registered under
the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be
registered. The Company shall have no obligation under this Section 5 to make any offering of its
securities, or to complete an offering of its securities that it proposes to make. If the
registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an
underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to this Section 5(a). All Holders requesting to distribute their securities
through such underwriting shall, together with the Company as provided in Section 6(n),
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters for
such underwriting; provided, however, that the Holders (or any of their assignees) shall
not be required by the Company to make any representations, warranties or indemnities except as
they relate to such Holder’s ownership of shares and authority to enter into the underwriting
agreement and to such Holder’s intended method of distribution, and the liability of such Holder
shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

 

B-5

 

(b) If the registration under this Section 5 is an underwritten registration on behalf
of holders of securities of the Company other than the Holders, and if the underwriter advises the
Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the
underwriter may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and
underwriting. The Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would
otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto. The number of shares, including Registrable Securities,
that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows: (i)
first, among holders of securities requesting such registration in proportion (as nearly as
practicable) to the amount of registrable securities held by such holders, (ii) second, among all
of the Holders of Registrable Securities that have elected to participate in such underwritten
offering and CBS, if CBS is not the holder requesting such registration, to the extent, but only to
the extent, CBS elects to participate in such underwritten offering pursuant to the CBS
Registration Rights Agreement, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of
Registrable Securities held by such Holders and the amount of CBS Registrable Securities held by
CBS and (iii) thereafter, among all other holders of Common Stock, if any, that have the right and
have elected to participate in such underwritten offering, in proportion (as nearly as practicable)
to the amount of shares of Common Stock owned by such holders.

(c) If the registration under this Section 5 is an underwritten registration on behalf
of the Company and if the underwriter advises a Holder that marketing factors require a limitation
of the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriter may limit the number of Registrable
Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. The Holder shall so advise the
Company and the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise
be underwritten pursuant hereto. The number of shares, including Registrable Securities, that may
be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, the
securities that the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, among Holders of Registrable Securities
that have elected to participate in such underwritten offering and CBS to the extent, but only to
the extent, CBS elects to participate in such underwritten offering pursuant to the CBS
Registration Rights Agreement, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the aggregate amount of
Registrable Securities held by all such holders and the amount of CBS Registrable Securities held
by CBS, until such holders have included in the underwriting all shares requested by such holders
to be included, and (iii) thereafter, among all other holders of Common Stock, if any, that have
the right and have elected to participate in such underwritten offering, in proportion (as nearly
as practicable) to the amount of shares of Common Stock owned by such holders.

(d) Each Holder agrees that if a managing underwriter reasonably determines it is necessary in
order to effect such underwritten public offering, at such managing underwriter’s request, such
Holder will agree not to publicly sell any shares of Registrable Securities that are not included
in an underwritten public offering described in this Section 5 for a period, not to exceed
the lesser of (a) 120 days and (b) the number of days that the Company, any director or officer or
any other selling stockholder is similarly restricted; provided that if any such Person is released
from its obligations to not publicly sell, then all Holders shall be released from their
obligations under this Section 5(d) to the same extent.

 

B-6

 

6. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations
hereunder, the Company shall:

(a) Not less than three Trading Days before the filing of each Registration Statement or any
related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to
the Holders and Purchaser Counsel copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which
documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject
to the review of such Holders and Purchaser Counsel, and (ii) cause its officers and directors,
counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be
necessary to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The
Company shall not file such a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall
reasonably object.

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective
amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may
be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable
Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such
additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of
the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any
required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(iii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within 15 Trading Days (or 20
Trading Days in the case of initial comments), to any comments received from the Commission with
respect to any Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as reasonably
practicable provide the Holders and Purchaser Counsel true and complete copies of all
correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in
all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect
to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the
applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set
forth in the applicable Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so
supplemented.

(c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold and Purchaser Counsel as promptly
as reasonably possible, and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no
later than one Trading Day thereafter, of any of the following events: (i) the Commission notifies
the Company whether there will be a “review” of any Registration Statement; (ii) the Commission
comments in writing on any Registration Statement (in which case the Company shall deliver to each
Holder a copy of such comments and of all written responses thereto); (iii) any Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment is declared effective; (iv) the Commission or any other
Federal or state governmental authority requests any amendment or supplement to a Registration
Statement or Prospectus or requests additional information related thereto; (v) the Commission
issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or initiates any
Proceedings for that purpose; (vi) the Company receives notice of any suspension of the
qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation or threat of any Proceeding for such purpose; or (vii) the
financial statements included in any Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein
or any statement made in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference is untrue in any material respect or any revision to
a Registration Statement, Prospectus
or other document is required so that it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

B-7

 

(d) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the
withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or (ii) any
suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable.

(e) Furnish to each Holder and Purchaser Counsel, without charge, at least one conformed copy
of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all
exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or
incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.

(f) Promptly deliver to each Holder and Purchaser Counsel, without charge, as many copies of
the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement
thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. Subject to Section 10(f), the Company
hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of
the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered
by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

(g) In the time and manner required by each Trading Market, if at all, prepare and file with
such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Registrable
Securities; (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such Registrable Securities to be approved for
listing on each Trading Market as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; (iii) to the extent
available to the Company, provide to the Holders evidence of such listing; and (iv) maintain the
listing of such Registrable Securities on each such Trading Market.

(h) Before any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to
register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and Purchaser Counsel in connection with
the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such
Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky Laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in writing, to keep each such
registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period
and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement.

(i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a
Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase
Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.

 

B-8

 

(j) Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 6(c)(iv) through
(vii), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a
post-effective amendment, to such a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related
Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file
any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither such Registration Statement
nor its related Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(k) Cooperate with any due diligence investigation undertaken by the Holders in connection
with the sale of Registrable Securities, including by making available any documents and
information; provided, that the Company will not deliver or make available to any Holder
material, nonpublic information unless such Holder specifically requests in advance to receive
material, nonpublic information and such Holder executes a nondisclosure agreement reasonably
acceptable to the Company.

(l) If Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being offered pursuant to a
Registration Statement select underwriters for the offering, the Company shall enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including by
providing customary legal opinions, comfort letters and indemnification and contribution
obligations.

(m) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission and make generally available to its stockholders a consolidated earnings statement
(which need not be audited) for the 12 months beginning after the effective date of a Registration
Statement that satisfies the requirements of an earnings statement under Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of such period.

(n) Enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement
in customary form) and take all such other customary actions, if any, as Holders holding a majority
of the Registrable Securities being sold or the managing underwriters (if any) shall reasonably
request in order to facilitate any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement. If requested by Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities
being sold, their counsel or the managing underwriters (if any) in connection with such
Registration Statement, use its reasonable best efforts to cause (i) its counsel to deliver an
opinion relating to the Shelf Registration Statement and Registrable Securities, as applicable, in
customary form, (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates
requested by Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold, their counsel of
the managing underwriters (if any) and (iii) its independent public accountants to provide a
comfort letter or letters in customary form, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as
contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72 or any successor
accounting standard.

 

B-9

 

(o) Make reasonably available for inspection during normal business hours at the offices where
normally kept by a representative of, and counsel acting for, Holders holding a majority of the
Registrable Securities being sold and any underwriter participating in any disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, all relevant
financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
and use its reasonable best efforts to have its officers, directors, employees, accountants and
counsel supply all relevant information reasonably requested by such representative, such counsel
or any such underwriter in connection with such Registration Statement, in either case to the
extent reasonably requested by such representative, such counsel or underwriter for the purpose of
conducting customary due diligence with respect to the Company.

(p) If any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any transfer of
Registrable Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or
“assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Rules of Conduct (the “Rules of Conduct”)
of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)), whether as a holder of such Registrable
Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect
thereof, or otherwise, assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules
of Conduct by (if such Rules of Conduct shall so require) engaging a “qualified independent
underwriter” (as defined in such Rules of Conduct) to participate in the preparation of the
registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities.

(q) Use its reasonable best efforts to make available executive officers of the Company to
participate with the Holders and any underwriters in any “road shows” or other selling efforts that
may be reasonably requested by the Holders in connection with the methods of distribution for the
Registrable Securities.

7. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or
compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company. The fees and expenses
referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include (a) all registration and filing fees (including
fees and expenses (i) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market, (ii) in
compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky Laws (including fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable
Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under
the Laws of such jurisdictions as requested by the Holders) and (iii) FINRA fees and expenses), (b)
all expenses relating to the preparation, printing, distribution and reproduction of each
registration statement required to be filed hereunder, each prospectus included therein or prepared
for distribution pursuant hereto, each amendment or supplement to the foregoing, the certificates
representing the Registrable Securities and all other documents relating thereto, (c) messenger,
telephone and delivery expenses, (d) fees and disbursements of counsel and independent registered
public accounting firm for the Company (including the expenses of any opinions or “cold comfort”
letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance), (e) the reasonable fees and
disbursement of one counsel for the Holders; (f) reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of any
“qualified independent underwriter” engaged pursuant to Section 6(p); and (g) fees and
expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall not be required to pay stock
transfer taxes or underwriters’ discounts or commissions related to Registrable Securities. The
obligation of the Company to bear the fees and expenses described in clauses (b), (d) and (e) (in
the case of (d) and (e), with respect to counsel only) of this Section 7 shall apply
whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement;
provided, however, that the fees and expenses described in this Section 7 for any
supplements or amendments to a Registration Statement or
Prospectus solely resulting from a misstatement furnished in writing to the Company for
inclusion therein by or on behalf of a Holder shall be borne by such Holder.

 

B-10

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7 shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to cause these provisions to comply with “blue sky” laws of each
state or the securities laws of any jurisdiction in the United States and its territories in which
the offering is made.

8. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors,
partners, members, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as
principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock),
investment advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the
officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred,
arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission
or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but
only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information
regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly
for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s
proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing
by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of
Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an
event of the type specified in Section 6(c)(v)-(vii), the use by such Holder of an outdated
or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus
is outdated or defective and before the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in
Section 10(f). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or
assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person
who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of
the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review), arising
solely out of any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any
Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely
out of any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in
writing by or on behalf of such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such
Registration Statement or such Prospectus. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder
hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder
upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

B-11

 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or
asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying
Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the
engagement of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees
and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations
or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or
further review) that such failure shall have materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying
Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to engage separate counsel in any such Proceeding
and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in
writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Proceeding; (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
engage counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding (in each
case, only with respect to such Indemnified Party); or (iv) the named parties to any such
Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by
counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliates (in which case, under any of
clauses (i) through (iv), such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending
Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding.

All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the
extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner
not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within 10
Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is
ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder;
provided that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to
reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such
Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

B-12

 

(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 8(a) or
8(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then
each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in
connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied
by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable
fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party
would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this
Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other
method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in
the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d),
no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount
such Holder would otherwise have been required to pay under Section 8(b) had
indemnification been available. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any
liability which any party may have to any other party.

9. Current Public Information. At all times the Company will file all reports
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and will take such
further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent
required to enable such Holders to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their
obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to
being entitled to exercise all rights granted by Law and under this Agreement, including recovery
of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The
Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any
losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby
further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach,
it shall waive the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate.

 

B-13

 

(b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents
to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Company and the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with
respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not
directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by the Holders of at least a
majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided,
however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented
except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) No Other Registration Rights Agreements. Except for the CBS Registration Rights
Agreement and any registration rights on Form S-8 in favor of Thomas F.X. Beusse related to the
options granted by the Company to Mr. Beusse under the Stand-Alone Stock Option Agreement, dated as
of January 8, 2008, between the Company and Mr. Beusse, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has
previously entered into any contract granting any registration rights with respect to any of its
securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.

(d) No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule
3.1(g) to the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than
the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in a
Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the
date hereof enter into any contract providing any such right to any of its security holders.

(e) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales
of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

(f) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such
Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any
event of the kind described in Sections 6(c)(iv) through 6(c)(vii), such Holder
will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration
Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended
Registration Statement contemplated by Section 6(j), or until it is advised in writing (the
“Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either
case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may
provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

(g) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or
permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on
the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section before 5:30 p.m. (New York City time)
on a Trading Day, (ii) the Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or
communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section later

time) on such date, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of sending, if sent by nationally
recognized overnight courier service, specifying next business day delivery or (iv) upon actual
receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given if delivered by hand. The address
and facsimile numbers for such notices and communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement.

 

B-14

 

(h) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the
benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the majority of the Holders. Each Holder may assign its rights and
obligations hereunder in the manner and to the extent permitted under the Purchase Agreement;
provided that the assignee of such Holders acquires at least 2,000,000 shares of the Common
Stock constituting Registrable Securities held by the transferring Holder, and, provided
further, that the Company is given written notice by the transferor of such transfer,
stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being assigned. References to a Person are also to
its permitted successors and assigns.

(i) Construction. The headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not
constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the
provisions hereof. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this
Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words
“hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall
refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The
definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms
of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express
their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. Any
contract, statute or rule defined or referred to herein means such contract, statute or rule as
from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of contracts) by waiver
or consent and (in the case of statutes or rules) by succession of comparable successor statutes or
rules and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References
to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.

(j) Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of
which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. If any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party
executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

 

B-15

 

(k) Governing Law; Venue; Waiver Of Jury Trial. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this agreement shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and
defense of the transactions (whether brought against a
party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, employees or
agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and U.S. federal courts sitting in the City of
New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and U.S. federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of
Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of
any of this agreement), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action
or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court,
that such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with
evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this agreement
and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out
of or relating to this agreement or any of the transaction documents or the transactions. If
either party shall commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this agreement or any
transaction document, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by
the other party for its reasonable attorneys fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred
with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such proceeding.

(l) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by Law.

(m) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt
in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute
therefor and effects the original intent of the parties as closely as possible, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

(n) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of,
nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Related Person is
an intended third party beneficiary of Section 7 and (in each case) may enforce the
provisions of Section 7 directly against the parties with obligations thereunder.

(o) No Limitation on Convertible Securities. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate
to limit the right of any Holder to request the registration of Registrable Securities issuable
upon conversion, exchange or exercise of securities held by such Holder notwithstanding the fact
that at the time of such request, such Holder does not hold the Registrable Securities underlying
such securities.

Annex A

Plan of Distribution

The selling stockholders, including their pledgees, donees, transferees, beneficiaries or
other successors in interest, may from time to time offer some or all of the shares of common stock
covered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and
supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

The selling stockholders will not pay any of the costs, expenses and fees in connection with
the registration and sale of the shares covered by this prospectus, but they will pay all
discounts, commissions or brokers’ fees or fees of similar securities industry professionals and
transfer taxes, if any, attributable to sales of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from
the sale of the shares of our common stock covered hereby.

The selling stockholders may sell the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus from
time to time, and may also decide not to sell all or any of the shares that they are allowed to
sell under this prospectus. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making
decisions regarding the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholders may sell
shares at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately
negotiated prices. Sales may be made by the selling stockholders in one or more types of
transactions, which may include:

	 	•	 	purchases by underwriters, dealers and agents who may receive compensation in the
form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling
stockholders and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agent;
	 
	 	•	 	one or more block transactions, including transactions in which the broker or dealer
so engaged will attempt to sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in
crosses, in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;
	 
	 	•	 	ordinary brokerage transactions or transactions in which a broker solicits
purchases;
	 
	 	•	 	purchases by a broker-dealer, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account;
	 
	 	•	 	the pledge of shares as security for any loan or obligation, including pledges to
brokers or dealers who may from time to time effect distributions of the shares or
other interests in the shares;
	 
	 	•	 	short sales or transactions to cover short sales relating to the shares;
	 
	 	•	 	one or more exchanges or over the counter market transactions;

 

 

 

	 	•	 	through distribution by a selling stockholder or its successor in interest to its
members, partners or shareholders;
	 
	 	•	 	privately negotiated transactions;
	 
	 	•	 	the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or
otherwise;
	 
	 	•	 	distributions to creditors and equity holders of the selling stockholders; and
	 
	 	•	 	any combination of the foregoing, or any other available means allowable under
applicable law.

A selling stockholder may also resell all or a portion of its securities in open market
transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”) provided it meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of Rule 144.

The selling stockholders may enter into sale, forward sale and derivative transactions with
third parties, or may sell shares not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately
negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with
those sale, forward sale or derivative transactions, the third parties may sell shares covered by
this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions and
by issuing securities that are not covered by this prospectus but are exchangeable for or represent
beneficial interests in the common stock. The third parties also may use shares received under
those sale, forward sale or derivative arrangements or shares pledged by the selling stockholder or
borrowed from the selling stockholders or others to settle such third-party sales or to close out
any related open borrowings of common stock. The third parties may deliver this prospectus in
connection with any such transactions. Any third party in such sale transactions will be an
underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part).

In addition, the selling stockholders may engage in hedging transactions with broker-dealers
in connection with distributions of shares or otherwise. In those transactions, broker-dealers may
engage in short sales of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling
stockholders. The selling stockholders may also sell shares short and redeliver shares to close
out such short positions. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other
transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery of shares to the broker-dealer. The
broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer such shares pursuant to this prospectus. The
selling stockholders also may loan or pledge shares, and the borrower or pledgee may sell or
otherwise transfer the shares so loaned or pledged pursuant to this prospectus. Such borrower or
pledgee also may transfer those shares to investors in our securities or the selling stockholders’
securities or in connection with the offering of other securities not covered by this prospectus.

 

 

 

To the extent necessary, we may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to
describe a specific plan of distribution. We will file a supplement to this prospectus, if
required, upon being notified by the selling stockholders that any material arrangement has been
entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, offering or a
purchase by a broker or dealer. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the specific
terms of the offering of securities, including:

	 	•	 	the number of shares of common stock offered;
	 
	 	•	 	the price of such shares of common stock;
	 
	 	•	 	the proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of such shares;
	 
	 	•	 	the names of the underwriters or agents, if any;
	 
	 	•	 	any underwriting discounts, agency fees or other compensation to underwriters or
agents; and
	 
	 	•	 	any discounts or concessions allowed or paid to dealers.

The selling stockholders may, or may authorize underwriters, dealers and agents to, solicit
offers from specified institutions to purchase shares of common stock from the selling stockholders
at the public offering price listed in the applicable prospectus supplement. These sales may be
made under “delayed delivery contracts” or other purchase contracts that provide for payment and
delivery on a specified future date. Any contracts like this will be described in and be subject
to the conditions listed in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or
concessions from the selling stockholders. Broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation
from the purchasers of shares for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or
both. Compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions
and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions involving shares. In
effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other
broker-dealers to participate in the resales.

In connection with sales of our common stock covered hereby, the selling stockholders and any
underwriter, broker-dealer or agent and any other participating broker-dealer that executes sales
for the selling stockholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the
Securities Act. Accordingly, any profits realized by the selling stockholders and any compensation
earned by such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions. Because the selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” under the
Securities Act, the selling stockholders must deliver this prospectus and any prospectus supplement
in the manner required by the Securities Act. This prospectus delivery requirement may be
satisfied through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange in accordance with Rule 153 under
the Securities Act.

We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify each other against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, we or the selling
stockholders may agree to indemnify any underwriters, broker-dealers and agents against or
contribute to any payments the underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be required to make with
respect to, civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Underwriters,
broker-dealers and agents and their affiliates are permitted to be customers of, engage in
transactions with, or perform services for us and our affiliates or the selling stockholders or
their affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

 

 

 

The selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of Regulation M of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, which
provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of our common stock by
the selling stockholders. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the
distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to
the shares of common stock. These restrictions may affect the marketability of such shares.

In order to comply with applicable securities laws of some states, the shares may be sold in
those jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in
certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in
the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is
available. In addition, any shares of a selling stockholder covered by this prospectus that
qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold in open market
transactions under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

In connection with an offering of common stock under this prospectus, the underwriters may
purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales,
stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales
involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to
purchase in an offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for
the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while an
offering is in progress.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter
repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the
underwriters have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that underwriter in
stabilizing or short-covering transactions.

These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market
price of the common stock offered under this prospectus. As a result, the price of the common
stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these
activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These
transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange or another securities exchange or
automated quotation system, or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

WESTWOOD ONE, INC.

STOCK SUBSCRIPTION WARRANT

THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, [
 _____ 

] or its successors and assigns
(“Holder”) is entitled to purchase from Westwood One, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
at the initial price of $[5.00/6.00/7.00] per share (the “Warrant Purchase Price”),
 _____ 

fully
paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of
the Company. This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

This Warrant is subject to the following provisions, terms and conditions:

 

C-1

 

1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.

(a)  The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or from
time to time in part (but not as to a fractional share of Common Stock) at any time on or prior to
5:00 P.M., New York time, on
 _____ 

, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”) and, subject to paragraphs
1(b) and (d), by payment to the Company by wire transfer, check or bank draft of the purchase price
for such shares of Common Stock.

(b) In addition to and without limiting the rights of each Holder under paragraph 1(a), at
each Holder’s option, this Warrant may be exercised by being exchanged in whole or from time to
time in part at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date, for a number of shares of Common Stock
having an aggregate Current Market Price (as hereinafter defined) on the date of such exercise
equal to the difference between (x) the Current Market Price of the number of shares of Common
Stock subject to this Warrant designated by the Holder on the date of the exercise (the “Designated
Number of Shares”) and (y) the aggregate Warrant Purchase Price for such shares in effect at such
time.

Upon any such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be reduced by the Designated Number of Shares. No payment of any cash or other
consideration to the Company shall be required from the Holder (or its designee) in connection with
any exercise of this Warrant by exchange pursuant to this paragraph 1(b). Such exchange shall be
effective upon the date of receipt by the Company of the Exercise Notice (defined below) and of the
Warrant surrendered for cancellation, or at such later date as may be specified in such Exercise
Notice. No fractional shares arising out of the above formula for determining the number of shares
issuable in such exchange shall be issued, and the Company shall in lieu thereof make payment to
the Holder of cash in the amount of such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of a share
of Common Stock on the date of the exchange.

(c) If a balance of purchasable shares of Common Stock remains after any partial exercise of
this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant
for such balance of shares.

(d) In order to exercise this Warrant, the Holder shall (i) deliver to the Company at the
principal office of the Company at 40 West 57th Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10019, or
such other office or agency of the Company in the United States of America as it may designate by
notice in writing to the Holder at the address appearing on the books of the Company, a written
notice of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant (an “Exercise Notice”) substantially in
the form attached to this Warrant, which Exercise Notice shall specify the number of shares of
Common Stock to be purchased, (ii) surrender this Warrant (properly endorsed if required) and (iii)
if exercised pursuant to paragraph 1(a) above, pay to the Company the Warrant Purchase Price
applicable to the shares of Common Stock to be purchased. At the Holder’s option, an Exercise
Notice may be conditioned on any of the events in suparagraphs 3(e)(1)-(5). The shares of Common
Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder (or its
designee) as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which the
Company has received such Exercise Notice, this
Warrant shall have been surrendered and, if applicable, payment made for such shares.

 

C-2

 

Certificates
for the shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be delivered (or caused to be delivered) to the
Holder within a reasonable time, not exceeding five (5) Business Days, after this Warrant shall
have been so exercised, and, unless this Warrant has expired, a new Warrant representing the number
of shares of Common Stock, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised shall also be delivered to the Holder (or its designees) within such time.

(e) In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to
the Holder a certificate representing shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant by the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date on which delivery of such
certificate is required by this Warrant, and if after such fifth (5th) Business Day the
Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock that the Holder anticipated
receiving from the Company (the “Covering Shares”), then the Company shall, within five (5)
Business Days after the Holder’s request, promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a
certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of
this Warrant and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares, over the
product of (A) the number of Covering Shares, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event
giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.

2. Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants and agrees
that (a) all shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance,
be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Encumbrances and
shall not be subject to preemptive rights or similar rights of stockholders; (b) without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company will from time to time take all action necessary to
assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times less than the then
effective Warrant Purchase Price; (c) at all times during the period during which this Warrant may
be exercised, the Company will take all action necessary to assure that it has authorized, and
reserved for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of
shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise this Warrant in full; (d) the Company will take
all action necessary to assure that shares of Common Stock may validly and legally be issued upon
exercise of the Warrants and in compliance with the requirements of all Laws and any securities
exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed; and (e) the Company will not take any action
that could result in any adjustment hereunder if the total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable after such action upon exercise of this Warrant in full, together with all shares of
Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all
options and upon conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total
number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

 

C-3

 

3. Warrant Purchase Price. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) are subject to adjustment as follows:

(a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock.

If the Company:

(1) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common
Stock;

(2) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares; or

(3) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares.

then the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such
action shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder may receive the aggregate number and
kind of shares of capital stock of the Company that the Holder would have owned immediately
following such action if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such action.

The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a
dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or
combination.

(b) Extraordinary Distributions. If the Company distributes to all holders of its
Common Stock any of its assets (including but not limited to cash), securities, or any rights or
warrants to purchase securities (including but not limited to Common Stock) of the Company, other
than (x) as described in paragraph 3(a) or 3(c) or (y) regular quarterly or other periodic
dividends not exceeding, in any fiscal year, ten percent of net income of the preceding fiscal year
(any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Distribution”), then the
Warrant Purchase Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the record or other
effective date of such Extraordinary Distribution, by the amount of cash and/or fair market value
(as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of any securities or assets paid on each
share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Distribution.

 

C-4

 

(c) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any capital
reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or
merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its
assets to another corporation (where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the
Common Stock) (collectively, a “Reorganization”), shall be effected in such a way that holders of
Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets (including, without
limitation, cash) with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, prior to such

Reorganization, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter
have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified
in this Warrant (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore
purchasable upon the exercise hereof had such Reorganization not taken place), such shares of
stock, securities or assets (including, without limitation, cash) as may be issued or payable with
respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the
number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable upon the exercise hereof had
such Reorganization not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with
respect to the rights and interests of each Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including
without limitation provisions for adjustments of the Warrant Purchase Price and of the number of
Warrant Shares) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of
stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.

The Company will not effect any such Reorganization unless prior to the consummation thereof
the successor corporation (if other than the Company) shall assume by written instrument, the
obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance
with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase.

(d) Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment required by this paragraph 3, the
Company shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to each
Holder at the address shown on the books of the Company, which notice shall state in reasonable
detail the facts requiring such adjustment (including the method of calculation) and the increase
or decrease, if any, in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable at such price upon the
exercise of this Warrant.

(e) Other Notices. In case at any time:

(1) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon Common Stock;

(2) the Company shall declare any dividend upon its Common Stock payable in stock or make
any special dividend or other distribution to the holders of Common Stock;

(3) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of Common Stock any
additional shares of stock of any class or other securities or rights;

(4) there shall be any Reorganization; or

(5) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company (collectively, “Dissolution”);

 

C-5

 

then the Company shall give, by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the
address shown on the books of the Company (i) at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the
date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend,
distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such
Reorganization or Dissolution, and (ii) in the case of any such Reorganization or Dissolution, at
least fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place.
Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (i) shall also specify, in the case of any such
dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall also
specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common
Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Reorganization or Dissolution, as the
case may be.

(f) Certain Events. If any event occurs as to which, in the good faith opinion of
the Board of Directors, the other provisions of this paragraph 3 are not strictly applicable or if
strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Warrants in accordance with
the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of Directors shall make an
adjustment in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and
principles, so as to protect such purchase rights, but in no event shall any such adjustment have
the effect of increasing the Warrant Purchase Price.

4. Financial and Other Information. Without duplication of any document or
information provided to the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall send, by
electronic transmission (with confirmed delivery), addressed to each Holder at the address of such
Holder as shown on the books of the Company:

(1) promptly upon transmission thereof, copies of all such financial statements, proxy
statements, notices and reports as it shall send to its stockholders;

(2) all reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any
governmental body or agency succeeding to the functions of the Securities and Exchange
Commission); and

(3) promptly upon transmission thereof, all information with respect to any tender offer
for shares of the Company as it shall send to its stockholders.

5. Registration. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for purposes
of exercise of Warrants hereunder require registration or qualification with or approval of any
Governmental Authority (other than under any state securities law), before such shares may be
issued upon such exercise, the Company will, at its expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as
possible, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved or
listed on the relevant domestic securities exchange, as the case may be.

 

C-6

 

6. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of Warrants shall be made without charge to the exercising Holder for any issuance or
stamp tax in respect thereof, provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
certificate in a name other than that of the exercising Holder, and no such issue or delivery shall
be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any
such tax, or has established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been
or will be paid.

7. Closing of Books. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against
the transfer of any Warrant or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise
of any Warrant in any manner that interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

8. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. If any mutilated Warrant is
surrendered to the Company, or the Company receives evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Warrant, the Company shall issue, without charge, a
replacement Warrant. Applicants for such substitute Warrant shall also comply with such other
reasonable regulations as the Company may in good faith prescribe. If required by the Company, an
indemnity must be supplied by the holder of such Warrant that is sufficient in the reasonable
judgment of the Company to protect the Company from any loss that it may suffer if a Warrant is
replaced.

9. No Stockholder Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle any Holder, as long as this
Warrant is not exercised, to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company,
including, without limitation, the right other than specifically set forth herein to receive
dividends and other distributions, to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders
or any other proceedings of the Company.

10. Warrants Transferable. This Warrant is subject to certain restrictions on
transfer set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Any transfer in violation of those restrictions
shall be null and void ab initio. A transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder not
prohibited by the Purchase Agreement may be made, in whole or in part, without charge to the Holder
transferring such Warrant, at the office or agency of the Company referred to in paragraph 1 by
such Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant, properly
endorsed; provided, that any such transfer shall be made in compliance with the Act. It is
understood that the Company will cause to be placed upon certificates for shares of Common Stock
issued upon the exercise hereof, a legend similar to the legend appearing on the first page of this
Warrant.

 

C-7

 

11. Warrants Exchangeable for Different Denominations. Subject to compliance with the
applicable provisions of this Warrant, this Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by
each Holder at the office or agency of the Company referred to in paragraph 1, for new Warrants of
like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to subscribe for and purchase the number of
shares which may be subscribed for and purchased hereunder, each of such new
Warrants to represent the right to subscribe for and purchase such number of shares as shall be
designated by each Holder at the time of such surrender.

12. Descriptive Headings and Governing Law. The descriptive headings of the several
paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part hereof.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal Laws of the state
of New York. Each of the Company and the Holder agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions (whether brought against the Holder or
the Company, as the case may be, or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and U.S. federal courts sitting in
the city of New York, borough of Manhattan. Each of the Company and the Holder hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and U.S. federal courts sitting in the city of
New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection
herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of any of this Warrant), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in
any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the
Holder hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified
mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for
notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any
way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by Law. Each of the Company and the Holder
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all
right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant. If
either the Company or the Holder shall commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this
Warrant, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other
party for its reasonable attorneys fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred with the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such proceeding.

To: Norman J. Pattiz

Re: Voting Agreement

Dear Mr. Pattiz:

In connection with that certain Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Voting
Agreement”), by and among Gores Radio Holdings, LLC (together with its designees that are
Affiliates of The Gores Group, LLC, the “Purchaser”) and each of the Stockholders signatory
thereto, Westwood One, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby agrees as
follows:

1. Company Agreement to Indemnify. The Company shall indemnify and hold you harmless,
solely in your capacity as a Stockholder, if you become a party to or witness or other participant
in, or are threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any
hearing, inquiry or investigation that you reasonably believe might lead to the institution of any
such action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, investigative or other (hereinafter, a “Claim”) against any and all
reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses and
obligations incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or
participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in,
any such action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing, inquiry or
investigation), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is
approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of such
Claim (collectively, “Expenses”), including all interest, assessments and other charges
paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, reasonably incurred by you by
reason of (or arising out of) the fact that you are or were a party to the Voting Agreement, except
that the Company shall have no indemnification obligation for any Expenses incurred by you in to
the extent it shall be finally determined by a court or arbitral tribunal that such Expenses
resulted primarily from your bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

2. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 1 above for
any reason is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to you in respect of any
Expenses, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying you hereunder shall contribute to the amount of
such Expenses paid or payable by you as a result of any Claims (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and you, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also
the relative fault of the Company and you with respect to such Claims as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The Company and you agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 2 were determined by pro rata or per capita
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

 

 

 

3. Procedures.

(a) Reimbursement of Expenses. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by you in connection with any Claim shall be reimbursed by the Company as incurred;
provided, however to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court or arbitral
tribunal that such costs and expenses resulted primarily from your bad faith, gross negligence or
willful misconduct, you will promptly repay the Company such costs and expenses.

(b) Notice of Claim. You shall give the Company notice in writing in accordance with
Section 5 of this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable of any Claim made against you
for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement, provided, that the
failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except
to the extent that the Company has been materially prejudiced thereby.

(c) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated hereunder to
pay the Expenses of any Claim, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim,
with counsel approved by you (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) upon the delivery
to you of written notice of its election to do so no later than ten business days following notice
of such Claim. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by you and the retention of
such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to you under this Agreement for any
fees of counsel subsequently incurred by you with respect to the same Claim; provided, that
(i) you shall have the right to employ your own counsel in any such Claim at your own expense and
(ii) if (A) you shall have reasonably concluded (after consultation with counsel) that there is a
conflict of interest between the Company and you in the conduct of any such defense, or (B) the
Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim, then the fees and expenses
of your counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not settle any action,
suit or proceeding without your consent unless such settlement would not in any manner impose any
expense, penalty or limitation on you that is not indemnified hereunder or provide for the
admission of wrongdoing on your part. You shall not settle any action, suit or proceeding in any
manner that would impose any expense, penalty or limitation on the Company or provide for the
admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Company without the Company’s prior written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

4. Expenses. The Company shall pay your reasonable legal fees incurred in connection
with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the Voting Agreement; provided,
that such legal fees shall not exceed in the aggregate $30,000.

5. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or
permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on
the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via
facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section 4 before 5:30 p.m. (New York

Agreement later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New
York City time) on such date, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of sending, if sent by
nationally recognized overnight courier service, specifying next business day delivery or (iv) upon
actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given if delivered by hand. The
