Section 11.1(b) or Section 11.2 with respect to any Default or Event of Default arising
solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement
in connection with any such prepayment under Section 4(a) or 4(b) above, so long as, if the
Credit Agreement includes a cross default to the Securities Purchase Agreement at the time
such prepayment is made, the Banks shall have similarly agreed not to take action with
respect to any such cross default that exists under the Credit Agreement as a result of
such prepayment. The waiver set forth in the preceding sentence is a limited waiver and
shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or,
except as specifically set forth in the preceding sentence, any future breach or violation
of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any of the other Financing Documents or any document
entered into in connection therewith. Except as expressly provided herein, the foregoing
waiver shall not constitute (a) a modification or alteration of the terms, conditions or
covenants of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any of the other Financing Documents or any
document entered into in connection therewith, or (b) a waiver, release or limitation upon
the exercise by the Noteholders of any of their rights, legal or equitable, hereunder or
under the Securities Purchase Agreement, any Financing Document or any document entered
into in connection therewith. Except as set forth above, each of the undersigned
Noteholders reserves any and all rights and remedies which it has had, has or may have
under the Securities Purchase Agreement, each Financing Document and any document entered
into in connection therewith. Each of the undersigned Noteholders stipulates that the
remedies at law of the Company in the event of any default or threatened default by such
undersigned Noteholders in the performance of or compliance with the terms of this Section
4(c) solely with respect to its waiver of any right it may have to take action under
Section 11.1(b) or Section 11.2 with respect to any Default or Event of Default arising
solely as a result of the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement
as provided above are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific
performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of
any of the terms hereof or otherwise. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company does not
concede that any payment made under Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) of this Amendment
(including any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 4(a) or 4(b) above that
results in a prepayment of less than 5% of the aggregate principal

 

9

 

amount of the Notes then outstanding) would constitute a breach of the 5% Minimum
Requirement or otherwise entitle any Noteholders to assert the same. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Company will make the prepayments required by Section4(a) and 4(b) regardless of
whether or not the waiver referred to in this Section 4(c) is obtained.

(d) “Tax Refund” means the amount of federal income tax refund received in cash by the
Company and its Subsidiaries after December 31, 2009 in respect of any tax year ending on
or prior to such date, net of any state income tax liability of the Company and its
Subsidiaries for the tax year ending on December 31, 2009 arising solely as a direct result
of cancellation of indebtedness income attributable to the April, 2009 restructuring
provided for in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(e) The Company agrees that it will elect, to the extent not otherwise required by the
Code or the United States Internal Revenue Service, to receive the entire Tax Refund in
cash and will not elect to have any portion thereof applied to, or held in reserve for,
future income tax or other liabilities.

5. Senior Leverage Amendment Fee. In the event that the Senior Debt Leverage Ratio is
greater than 4.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2010, the
Company shall pay to each holder of a Note a fee in an amount equal to 2.00% (200 basis points) of
the outstanding principal amount of such Note held by such holder as of such date (the “Senior
Leverage Amendment Fee”), which fee shall be fully earned on that date and shall be payable on the
maturity date of the Notes or on such earlier date as the Notes shall have become due and payable
in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

6. Effect of Amendment. Except as set forth expressly herein, all terms of the
Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, each other Financing Document and any
document entered into in connection therewith, shall be and remain in full force and effect. The
execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right,
power or remedy of the Noteholders under the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, any other
Financing Document or any other documents entered into in connection therewith, nor constitute a
waiver of any provision of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, any other Financing Document
or any other documents entered into in connection therewith. Any and all notices, requests,
certificates and other instruments executed and delivered after the execution and delivery of this
Amendment may refer to the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement without making specific reference
to this Amendment, but nevertheless all such references shall include this Amendment unless the
context otherwise requires.

7. Confirmation of Amended and Restated Guarantee. By executing this Amendment each
of the Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledges and confirms that (a) the Amended and Restated Guarantee
continues in full force and effect notwithstanding the Securities Purchase Agreement Amendments and
(b) the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company under the Securities Purchase
Agreement, each other

 

10

 

Financing Document and this Amendment constitute indebtedness, liabilities and obligations
guaranteed under the Amended and Restated Guarantee. Nothing in this Amendment extinguishes,
novates or releases any right, claim, or entitlement of any of the Noteholders created by or
contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes or the Amended and Restated Guarantee nor
is the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor released from any covenant, warranty or obligation
created by or contained herein or therein, except as such covenants and obligations are
specifically amended by this Amendment.

8. Release.

(a) In consideration of the agreements of the Noteholders contained herein and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of
the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and
other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases, remises
and forever discharges the Noteholders, and their successors and assigns, and their present and
former shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers,
attorneys, financial advisors, employees, agents and other representatives (each Noteholder and all
such other Persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Releasees” and individually
as a “Releasee”), of and from all demands, actions, causes of action, suits, covenants, contracts,
controversies, agreements, promises, sums of money, accounts, bills, reckonings, damages and any
and all other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set-off, demands and liabilities
whatsoever (individually, a “Claim” and collectively, “Claims”) of every name and nature, either
known or suspected, both at law and in equity, which the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any
of their successors, assigns, or other legal representatives may now or hereafter own, hold, have
or claim to have against the Releasees or any of them for, upon, or by reason of any circumstance,
action, cause or thing whatsoever which arises at any time on or prior to the day and date of this
Amendment, including, without limitation, for or on account of, or in relation to, or in any way in
connection with any of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any of the other Financing Documents or
any other documents entered into in connection therewith or transactions thereunder or related
thereto.

(b) Each of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor understands, acknowledges and agrees
that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a
basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted,
prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

9. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the internal laws of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of
such State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

 

11

 

10. No Novation. This Amendment is not intended by the parties to be, and shall not
be construed to be, a novation of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement or an accord and
satisfaction in regard thereto.

11. Fees and Expenses. Whether or not the Securities Purchase Agreement Amendments
become effective, the Company will, in accordance with Section 14.1 of the Existing Securities
Purchase Agreement, promptly (and in any event within 30 days of receiving any statement or invoice
therefor) pay all reasonable fees, expenses and costs of the Noteholders relating to this
Amendment, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Noteholders’
special counsel, Bingham McCutchen LLP, and financial advisor, Conway, Del Genio, Gries & Co., LLC.

12. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto
in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which,
taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in pdf form shall be
as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

13. Binding Nature. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

14. Entire Understanding. This Amendment and the other Financing Documents set forth
the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein and therein,
and shall supersede any prior negotiations or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect
thereto.

15. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Amendment are inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Amendment.

16. Third Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein or in any other Financing Document, each of the Gores Parties is expressly made an intended
third party beneficiary of each provision hereof that affects or relates to the obligations of the
Gores Parties under the Gores Limited Guaranty or the incurrence and repayment, retirement or
redemption of obligations in respect of the Gores Subordinated Investment, and the consummation of
any transactions relating thereto (including without limitation, Sections 1(a), 1(c), 1(e), 1(g)
(to the extent relating to the exception in clause (a) of the definition of “Restricted Payment” or
clause (b)(iii) of such definition), and 4 hereof); and this Section 16 and such provisions hereof
may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of the Gores
Parties.

CONFORMED COPY

LIMITED GUARANTY

LIMITED GUARANTY, dated as of March 30, 2010 (this “Agreement”), made by GORES CAPITAL
PARTNERS II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and GORES CO-INVEST PARTNERSHIP II, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of each of the holders of
the Notes (as defined below) issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined
below) (such holders from time to time being referred to as, the “Noteholders”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Westwood One, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Noteholders are parties to that certain
Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2009, as amended by that certain Waiver and
First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of October 14, 2009 (as so amended and as
amended by the Second Amendment (as defined below) and as may be further amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the
Company issued $117,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 15.00% Senior Secured Notes due
July 15, 2012 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Company has requested, and the Noteholders have agreed subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, to amend certain terms and provisions of the
Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to the terms of that certain Second Amendment to Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2010 (the “Second Amendment”), by and between the Company
and the Noteholders;

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Noteholders to enter into the Second Amendment, the Guarantors
have agreed to jointly and severally guarantee certain payment obligations of the Company to the
Noteholders under the Second Amendment upon the terms and conditions, and subject to the
limitations, set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor is an Affiliate of the Company and will derive substantial direct and
indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Second Amendment;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Noteholders to enter into
the Second Amendment and to induce the Noteholders to agree to the transactions contemplated by the
Second Amendment, the Guarantors hereby agree for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders, as
follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINED TERMS.

(a) Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement and
used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(b) As used herein, “Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations” means an aggregate principal amount of
the Notes equal to $10,000,000, which is to be prepaid by the Company pursuant to Section 4(a) of
the Second Amendment on or before August 16, 2010 by means of

 

Annex 2-2

 

the Company exercising its right to make an optional prepayment of the Notes pursuant to
Section 7.3 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(c) As used herein, “Obligations” means the collective reference to the unpaid principal of
and interest on the Notes and all other obligations and liabilities of the Company to the
Noteholders (including, without limitation, (i) interest accruing at the rate per annum provided
for in Section 7.1(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement after the maturity of the Notes and (ii)
interest accruing at the rate per annum provided for in Section 7.1(c) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency,
reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company, whether or not a claim for post-filing
or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, out
of, or in connection with, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes or any other documents
relating thereto, whether on account of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, fees,
indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise (including, without limitation, all fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Noteholders that are required to be paid by the Company pursuant to
the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or any other document relating
thereto).

(d) As used herein, the terms “Senior Debt”, “Subordinated Debt”, “Subordinated Document” and
“Subordinating Party” have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Gores Subordination
Agreement.

(e) 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, and section and paragraph references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

(f) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the
singular and plural forms of such terms.

SECTION 2. GUARANTEE.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b), to the extent that the Company does not pay the
Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations in full in cash on or prior to August 16, 2010, each of the
Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the
Noteholders, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Company of the Guaranteed
Prepayment Obligations (or such portion thereof not previously paid by the Company) in accordance
with Section 9 hereof within one Business Day following written demand by the Required Holders.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if at the time demand for payment is made under this
Agreement no Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (as defined in the Gores Subordination Agreement)
has been initiated, the Guarantors may elect, within one Business Day following such date, to make
a Gores Subordinated Investment in the Company in an amount equal to the amount required to be paid
pursuant to this Section 2(a), rather than pay such amount directly to the Noteholders, and the
receipt by the Noteholders from, or on behalf of, the Company of such amount on or before the
Business Day following such

 

Annex 2-3

 

demand for payment shall be deemed to constitute payment by the Guarantors in full and final
satisfaction of their obligations hereunder (subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 8
hereof).

(b) Anything herein or in the Securities Purchase Agreement or Notes to the contrary
notwithstanding, (i) the maximum aggregate liability of the Guarantors to the Noteholders hereunder
shall in no event exceed the sum of (A) $10,000,000, plus (B) all fees and expenses payable
pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof (it being understood that such liability shall only be discharged
to the extent that the Noteholders actually receive such sum and no payment in respect of such sum
is rescinded, restored or returned under the circumstances set forth in Section 8 hereof); and (ii)
the maximum liability of each Guarantor shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed
by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

(c) Each Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all reasonable out of pocket expenses
(including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid
or incurred by any Noteholder in enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against,
either Guarantor under this Agreement.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations
may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor
hereunder without impairing this Agreement or affecting the rights and remedies of any Noteholder
hereunder.

(e) Subject to Section 2(b) hereof, no payment or payments made by the Company, either of the
Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Noteholder from
the Company, either of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any
action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to
time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations shall be deemed to
modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of either Guarantor hereunder which
shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain liable for the Guaranteed Prepayment
Obligations until the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations are paid in full; provided that, except as
provided in Section 2(c), no Guarantor will be required to make any additional payments after the
Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations have been paid in full in immediately available funds, except to
the extent that any payment of any such amount is rescinded or required to be returned by any
Noteholder pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or otherwise, in which case this
Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, all as though such
rescinded or returned payment had never been made.

SECTION 3. RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that the other Guarantor shall have paid more
than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such other Guarantor shall be entitled
to seek and receive contribution from and against the Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its
proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to
the terms and conditions of Section 4 hereof. The provisions of this Section shall in no respect
limit the obligations and liabilities of either Guarantor to the Noteholders, and each

 

Annex 2-4

 

Guarantor shall remain liable to the Noteholders for the full amount guaranteed by the
Guarantors hereunder.

SECTION 4. NO SUBROGATION.

Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by either of the Guarantors hereunder or any set-off
or application of funds of either of the Guarantors by any Noteholder, no Guarantor shall be
entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Noteholder against the Company, either
Guarantor or any other guarantor or any guarantee or right of offset held by any Noteholder for the
payment of the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations, nor shall either Guarantor seek or be entitled to
seek any contribution, reimbursement, restitution or reimbursement from the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder (except as provided in
Section 4(b) of the Second Amendment), until all amounts owing to the Noteholders by the Company on
account of the Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent reimbursement and
indemnification claims in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted in writing by the
Person claiming to hold such claim) and, except to the extent of payments permitted by Section 4(b)
of the Second Amendment, will not prove any claim in competition with the Noteholders in respect of
any payment hereunder in any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or proceedings of any
nature. If any amount shall be paid to either Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights (it
being expressly understood that payments permitted by Section 4(b) of the Second Amendment shall
not constitute payments on account of such subrogation rights) at any time when all of the
Obligations shall not have been paid in full (other than contingent reimbursement and
indemnification claims in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted in writing by the
Person claiming to hold such claim), such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the
Noteholders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by
such Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders in the
exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee,
if required), to be applied against amounts due under this Agreement, pro rata, based on the
respective principal amount of the Notes held by the Noteholders. Each Guarantor hereby waives any
benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by the
Collateral Trustee or any Noteholder in respect of the Obligations.

SECTION 5. SUBORDINATION.

The payment of any amounts due to either Guarantor for indebtedness, or reimbursement or other
obligations (including, without limitation, any Gores Subordinated Loans) owing by the Company or
any Subsidiary arising from any payment such Guarantor makes in respect of the Guaranteed
Prepayment Obligations pursuant to this Agreement (the “Gores Reimbursement Obligations”) shall be
subordinated to Senior Debt to the same extent as Subordinated Debt is subordinated to Senior Debt
as provided in the Gores Subordination Agreement and all provisions of the Gores Subordination
Agreement shall apply to the Gores Reimbursement Obligations as if (a) such obligations were
Subordinated Debt, (b) such Guarantor were a Subordinating Party and (c) this Agreement were a
Subordinated Document, except that Section 7 of the Gores Subordination Agreement shall not apply
to the Gores Reimbursement Obligations, except for the third sentence thereof (which shall be
deemed to mean that a transferee of the Gores Reimbursement Obligations must become a party
hereto); provided,

 

Annex 2-5

 

however, that either Guarantor may receive payments from the Company in respect of the Gores
Reimbursement Obligations owed to such Guarantor which are made by the Company or any Subsidiary
thereof in compliance with Section 4(b) of the Second Amendment.

SECTION 6. AMENDMENTS, ETC. WITH RESPECT TO THE OBLIGATIONS; WAIVER OF RIGHTS.

Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder, subject to the restrictions in Section 2(b)
hereof, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against either Guarantor and
without notice to or further assent by either Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the
Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations made by any Noteholder may be rescinded by such party and the
Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations may be continued, and the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations, or
the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any guarantee therefor or right
of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended,
amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Noteholder, and
the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes and any other documents executed and delivered in
connection therewith (other than any provision of the Second Amendment that affects or relates to
the obligations of the Gores Parties under the Gores Limited Guaranty or the incurrence and
repayment, retirement or redemption of obligations in respect of the Gores Subordinated Investment,
and the consummation of any transactions relating thereto, including without limitation, Sections
1(a), 1(c), 1(e), 1(g) (to the extent relating to the exception in clause (a) of the definition of
“Restricted Payment” set forth therein or clause (b)(iii) of such definition), 4 and 16 thereof)
may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Required Holders
may deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any
Noteholder for the payment of the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived,
surrendered or released. When making any demand hereunder against either of the Guarantors, any
Noteholder may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Company or any
other Guarantor or guarantor, and any failure by any Noteholder to make any such demand or to
collect any payments from the Company or any such other Guarantor or guarantor or any release of
the Company or such other Guarantor or guarantor shall not relieve the Guarantor in respect of
which a demand or a collection is not made or the Guarantor not so released of its obligations or
liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied,
or as a matter of law, of any Noteholder against either of the Guarantors. For the purposes hereof
“demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

SECTION 7. GUARANTEE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL.

(a) Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of
the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Noteholder upon
this Agreement or acceptance of this Agreement; and the Noteholders’ decision to enter into the
Second Amendment and to accept the Company’s prepayment obligations in respect of the Guaranteed
Prepayment Obligations thereunder shall conclusively be deemed to have been made in reliance upon
this Agreement. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and
notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Company or any other Guarantor or guarantor of the
Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations. Each
Guarantor understands and agrees that

 

Annex 2-6

 

this Agreement shall be construed, subject to Section 2(b) hereof, as a continuing, absolute
and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any Note, the Second Amendment, the Guaranteed
Prepayment Obligations or any of the Obligations or any other guarantee or right of offset with
respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Noteholder, (ii) any defense, set-off
or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance in full of all obligations under
this Agreement) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company against any
Noteholder, (iii) the bankruptcy of the Company or any other Person, or any inability for any
reason of the Company to pay the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations or (iv) any other circumstance
whatsoever (other than payment and performance in full of all obligations under this Agreement)
(with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company, or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or
might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company for the Guaranteed
Prepayment Obligations or any other Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this Agreement, in
bankruptcy or in any other instance.

(b) This Agreement is a guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection.
When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against either Guarantor, any Noteholder may, but
shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Company
or any other Person (including, without limitation, resorting or not resorting to any direct or
indirect security for the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations) or against any guarantee for the
Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Noteholder to
pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Company or any such other
Person or to realize upon any such guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any
release of the Company or any such other Person or any such guarantee or right of offset, shall not
relieve such Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and
remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Noteholders against such
Guarantor. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with
and to the extent of its terms upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure
to the benefit of the Noteholders, and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and
assigns, until the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations, together with all fees and expenses payable
pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof, shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash, whereupon
this Agreement shall automatically and immediately terminate, subject to reinstatement pursuant to
Section 8 hereof.

SECTION 8. REINSTATEMENT

This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Prepayment Obligations is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored or returned by any Noteholder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or either Guarantor, or upon or as a
result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar
officer for, the Company or either Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payments had not been made.

SECTION 9. PAYMENTS.

 

Annex 2-7

 

Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to each Noteholder,
ratably in accordance with the respective principal amount of Notes held by such Noteholder,
without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. Dollars in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of
the Securities Purchase Agreement.

jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign limited partnership and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those

individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the

a whole. Each Guarantor has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and to perform the provisions hereof;

(b) this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership action on the

principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law);

(c) the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Agreement will not (a)
contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, result in the creation of any
Lien in respect of any property of such Guarantor under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter, partnership agreement or by-laws, or
any other material agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor is bound or by which such
Guarantor or any of its properties may be bound or affected, (b) conflict with or result in a
breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of
any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or (c) violate any
provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to
such Guarantor; and

(d) no consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any
Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by
such Guarantor of this Agreement, other than any of the foregoing that have been obtained and are
still in full force and effect.

hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the

To each of the Noteholders of

Westwood One, Inc. as set forth on

Schedule I hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to (i) Gores Capital Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the “Fund”), (ii) Gores Co-Invest Partnership II, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the “Co-Invest Fund”), and (iii) Gores Capital Advisors II, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company and general partner of each of the Fund and Co-Invest Fund (the
“General Partner”), in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of the
Limited Guaranty dated March 30, 2010 (the “Guaranty”), pursuant to that certain Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2009 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), as
amended by that certain Waiver and First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of
October 14, 2009 and the Second Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 30,
2010, between Westwood One, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation and the
Noteholders (as defined in the Guaranty, and set forth on Schedule I hereto). Capitalized terms
defined (either directly or indirectly) in the Guaranty and used (but not otherwise defined) herein
are used herein as so defined.

In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction) of the Guaranty and such records, agreements, documents and other instruments
(including without limitation, governing documents of each of the Fund, the Co-Invest Fund and the
General Partner), and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers
and representatives of the Fund, the Co-Invest Fund and the General Partner, and have made such
inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis
for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

 

 

 

March 30, 2010

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of
all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity
to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic
copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact
material to these opinions that have not been independently established, we have relied upon
certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Fund, the Co-Invest
Fund and the General Partner. As used herein, “to our knowledge” and “of which we are aware” mean
the conscious awareness of facts or other information by any lawyer in our firm actively involved
in the transactions contemplated by the Guaranty.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion
that:

1. Each of the Fund and the Co-Invest Fund is a limited partnership validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and each has all requisite partnership power
and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted.

2. The General Partner is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite limited liability company power and
authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted.

3. The Fund has all requisite partnership power and authority to execute and deliver the
Guaranty and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Guaranty by the Fund have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership action on the part of
the Fund. The Guaranty has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Fund and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Fund, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and
subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding at law or in equity).

4. The Co-Invest Fund has all requisite partnership power and authority to execute and deliver
the Guaranty and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of
the Guaranty by the Co-Invest Fund have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership action on
the part of the Co-Invest Fund. The Guaranty has been duly and validly executed and delivered by
the Co-Invest Fund and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Co-Invest Fund,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

 

 

 

March 30, 2010

Page 3

fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and
remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including
principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

5. The General Partner has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to
execute and deliver the Guaranty on behalf of the Fund and the Co-Invest Fund, respectively. The
execution and delivery of the Guaranty by the General Partner on behalf of the Fund and the
Co-Invest Fund have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on part
of the General Partner.

6. The execution and delivery by the Fund and the Co-Invest Fund of the Guaranty (and by the
General Partner on behalf of the Fund and the Co-Invest Fund) and the performance by the Fund or
the Co-Invest Fund of its obligations thereunder will not
conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any of the terms, conditions or
provisions of (a) the certificate of limited partnership or the Third Amended and Restated
Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Fund, (b) the certificate of limited partnership or the
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Co-Invest Fund, (c) the certificate of
formation or the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the General Partner,
(d) any agreement evidencing indebtedness of the Fund or the Co-Invest Fund set forth on Exhibit A
hereto, (e) any of the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act or the
Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, in each case as applied by courts located in Delaware, (f)
New York state or federal law or regulation (other than federal and state securities or blue sky
laws, as to which we express no opinion in this paragraph), or (g) any judgment, writ, injunction,
decree, order or ruling of any court or governmental authority binding on the Fund, the Co-Invest
Fund or the General Partner of which we are aware.

7. No consent, approval, waiver, license or authorization or other action by or filing with
any New York state, Delaware state (solely with respect to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act) or federal governmental authority
is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Fund and the Co-Invest Fund of the
Guaranty (and by the General Partner on behalf of the Fund and the Co-Invest Fund), the
consummation by the Fund and the Co-Invest Fund of the transactions contemplated thereby or the
performance by the Fund and the Co-Invest Fund of its obligations thereunder, except for such
actions or filings as may be required by federal and state securities or blue sky laws, as to which
we express no opinion in this paragraph.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of New York, the
partnership and limited liability company laws of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the
United States, and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered by this letter of
the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

 

 

The opinions expressed herein are rendered solely for your benefit (and the benefit of your
successors and assigns) in connection with the transactions described herein. Those opinions may
not be used or relied upon by any other person, nor may this letter or any copies hereof be
furnished to a third party, filed with a governmental agency, quoted, cited or otherwise referred
to without our prior written consent; provided, that this opinion may be furnished (i) to the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners or to any other state or federal governmental or
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over any Noteholder, (ii) to your independent auditors and
attorneys, and (iii) pursuant to any order or legal process of any court or other governmental
authority.

Very truly yours,

Schedule 3(e)

Exceptions to Representations and Warranties

Pursuant to Section 4 of the Amendment of which this Schedule is a part and is incorporated by
reference herein, the Company has agreed to prepay the Notes on the dates and in the amounts set
forth in Section 4 thereof. To the extent any such prepayment does not equal or exceed the 5%
Minimum Requirement (as defined in the Amendment), such prepayment, in the absence of a waiver by
each Noteholder regarding such optional prepayment on or prior to the date of prepayment, could be
deemed a conflict under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement solely as a result of the
failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with such
prepayment. The Company’s representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety by
reference to such conflict described in Section 4(c) of the Amendment. To the knowledge of the
Company, the failure of the Company to comply with the 5% Minimum Requirement in connection with
the prepayment of the Notes contemplated by Section 4 of the Amendment would not result in the
breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, except with respect to Section 4.6(a)(i) thereof to the extent that Section 4 of the
Amendment is deemed to constitute a conflict with the 5% Minimum Requirement set forth in the
Securities Purchase Agreement.
