a. | Encoding Agreements. The parties agree that the term of the previously executed Encoding Agreement dated March 2, 2007 between Arbitron and Clear Channel is hereby amended such that its term would run contemporaneously with the PPM Master Agreement, including any extensions, if any, to the PPM Master Agreement. Further, Clear Channel agrees to execute Encoding Agreements for each Clear Channel owned and/or operated radio station located in each of the markets described on the attached Appendix B (the PPM Markets) on or before the commercialization of such PPM market with terms which run contemporaneously with the PPM Master Agreement, including any extensions, if any, to the PPM Master Agreement. | ||

Clear Channel any invoices for such Code Fee charges. Any unused Onetime Code Credit shall expire on December 31, 2011 and any unique PPM codes and corresponding requisite PPM encoding hardware not relinquished/returned above the no-charge [ ***** ] unique PPM code allotment described above will begin incurring Code Fee charges starting January 1, 2012. Code Fee charges shall begin with the first month in which currency PPM Data is released in the applicable PPM Market and shall be charged on an annual basis. Clear Channel shall provide at least 120 days prior written notice on all unique PPM code requests above the [ ***** ] no-charge unique PPM code allotted in this Subsection. |
3. | Extension of Diary contract in PPM markets entering into PPM pre-currency on or after January 2009. The parties agree that, unless otherwise extended in its entirety, the Station License Agreement to Receive and Use Arbitron Radio Listening Estimates dated December 27, 2004 shall be extended on the terms set forth in this Amendment for all of Clear Channels radio stations located in the current and planned PPM rollout Markets as such are listed on Appendix B attached hereto until such time as the relevant markets become PPM Markets and the terms of the PPM Master Agreement govern such market. | ||
4. | PPM Master Agreement Supersedes Philadelphia, PA PPM Agreement. The parties agree that the PPM Master Agreement shall supersede and replace the Radio Station License Agreement to Receive and Use Arbitron PPM Data and Estimates dated March 2, 2007, between Clear Channel and Arbitron for radio stations WDAS-AM, WDAS-FM, WIOQ-FM, WISX-FM, WUBA-FM and WUSL-FM for a Term commencing January 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2009. | ||
5. | Cancellation Fund for Diary based Services. Clear Channel shall have the right to cancel certain Arbitron services licensed pursuant to the Station License Agreement to Receive and Use Arbitron Radio Listening Estimates dated December 27, 2004 (the Current Diary Agreement) as follows: |
a. | The total value of all cancelled services licensed from Arbitron shall not exceed $125,000 in the 2007 calendar year. Any unused cancellation fund amounts from the 2007 calendar year will not carry into the 2008 calendar year and shall expire. The following subsection shall apply to the 2008 calendar year. | ||
b. | The total value of all cancelled services licensed from Arbitron shall not exceed $125,000 in the 2008 calendar year or exceed $125,000 in the aggregate for calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010 if the following sentence shall apply. Any unused cancellation fund amounts from the 2008 calendar year may be used in the 2009 and 2010 calendar years for services licensed (except for [ ***** ] services) pursuant to any extension of the Current Diary Agreement. | ||
c. | Clear Channel must provide Arbitron with at least 120 days written notice of cancellation requests prior to the effective date of such cancellation. Clear Channel must pay for all services received prior to the effective date of cancellation. |
Page 2 of 12
d. | Notwithstanding Subsections a., b. & c. of this Section above, Clear Channel shall not be permitted to cancel any of the following services: Local Market Report, Maximi$er and/or Arbitrends unless the cancellation for such services is for a Clear Channel owned or managed radio station which has less than a 1.5 total Persons 12+ AQH Share points based on an average for the prior two Diary Reports in such market or, in the event it is a two book market, then based on the reported average number. |
6. | [ ***** ]/Annual Multi-service Volume Discounts. |
a. | [ ***** ]. Provided Clear Channel provides written notice on or before [ ***** ] and Clear Channel is not in default under the terms of the PPM Master Agreement, Clear Channel shall be permitted on a market by market basis to terminate one or more of the following PPM related services effective as of [ ***** ]. | ||
b. | Onetime Special Clear Chanel Rebate. The parties have agreed that in the event that Clear Channel is not in default under the terms of the PPM Master Agreement and has elected not to terminate any PPM services pursuant to Subsection a. of this Section above, Clear Channel shall be entitled to $[ ***** ] onetime special rebate, such rebate to be applied in three installments during the Term of the PPM Master Agreement as follows: $[ ***** ] in calendar year [ ***** ]; $[ ***** ] in calendar year [ ***** ]; and $[ ***** ] in calendar year [ ***** ]. However, to the extent that Clear Channel elects to cancel any services pursuant to Subsection a. above, such multi-service/volume rebate shall also be reduced in a proportional manner (e.g. if 20% of the license value of the PPM services set forth in Subsection a. above are terminated, such onetime special rebate shall be reduced by 20% during each of the years it is to be applicable). By way of Example, assuming that the license fees applicable to: [ ***** ] during [ ***** ] equaled $[ ***** ] and Clear Channel elected to terminate services with license fees totaling $[ ***** ] effective as of [ ***** ] pursuant to Subsection a., then the rebates for the following years would be as follows: $[ ***** ] in calendar year [ ***** ]; $[ ***** ] in calendar year [ ***** ]; and $[ ***** ] in calendar year [ ***** ]. The parties agree that the onetime special Clear Chanel rebate provided in this Section does not extend to any extensions or future license agreements between Arbitron and Clear Channel. | ||
c. | [ ***** ] Service Rebate for Calendar Year 2008. The parties have agreed that in the event that Clear Channel is not in default under the terms of the PPM Master Agreement at the time of each such payment, Arbitron shall provide Clear Channel with a calendar Year 2008 special rebate in the total amount equal to $[ ***** ], such rebate to be paid in two equal installments as follows: $[ ***** ] to be paid on or before [ ***** ] and $[ ***** ] to be paid on or before [ ***** ], each such payment to be in the form of a check made payable to Clear Channel. The parties agree that the onetime special rebate provided in this Section does not extend to any extensions or future license agreements between Arbitron and Clear Channel. |

7. | Escalators on Extension Contracts. |
a. | Current Diary Agreement: Arbitron agrees to extend the Current Diary Agreement, but only to permit it to coincide with the term of the PPM Master Agreement, for either a one, two, three, four or five year period (i.e. the maximum extension term shall be to an ending date of December 31, 2013) at an annual escalator equal to [ ***** ]% above expiring license fee rates (the Scarborough escalator would be [ ***** ]% above expiring rates) provided that (i) at least the same level of services (i.e. all peripheral and ancillary services as are licensed at the time of expiration of the Current Diary Agreement) are licensed under the extension of the Current Diary Agreement, and (ii) Clear Channel provides written notice of its commitment to enter into such extension on or before September 1, 2008. | ||
b. | Extension of PPM Master Agreement for PPM Data Services: Arbitron agrees to extend the PPM Master Agreement for the current PPM markets at an annual escalator equal to [ ***** ]% above expiring license fee rates for either a one year extension or a two year extension provided the following terms and conditions are met: |
i. | Clear Channel extends the Current Diary Agreement for a minimum of four years from the current expatriation (i.e. December 31, 2012) (the Diary Renewal), to coincide with the term of the PPM Master Agreement. | ||
ii. | The Diary Renewal is for at least the same level of services that are licensed under the Current Dairy Agreement and related license agreements (including Scarborough services)(i.e. Radio Market Report, Respondent Level Data, Maximi$er, Scarborough, Retail Direct, and Arbitrends optional software services in diary markets (Tapscan, MapMaker, and. PDA) would not be required) | ||
iii. | All PPM peripheral services originally contracted for in the PPM Master Agreement must remain in effect for the five year original term of the agreement as well as the extension of the PPM Master Agreement. | ||
iv. | Clear Channel must provide written notice to Arbitron on or before September 1, 2009 that it has elected to extend the PPM Master Agreement until either December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2013. | ||
v. | Clear Channel must be current with all payments under the PPM Master Agreement and not in default thereunder. |
8. | New PPM Markets (beyond current rollout schedule). In the event Arbitron creates additional PPM market(s) beyond what is currently on the rollout schedule attached hereto as Appendix B (each a Beyond Rollout PPM Market), Arbitron will extend to Clear Channel the following options related to such additional market(s): |
a. | Clear Channel may elect to [ ***** ], or | ||
b. | Clear Channel may license similar services as those licensed under the PPM Master Agreement for the Beyond Rollout PPM Market with license fee rates (including escalators) that correspond to those contained in the PPM Master Agreement. |
Page 4 of 12
c. | The parties understand and agree that the Arbitron PPM Market Rollout Schedule attached hereto as Appendix B, including currency and pre-currency rollout dates, has been created by Arbitron based on the best information available at the time of the execution of the PPM Master Agreement and it therefore may change as new information becomes known to Arbitron. Therefore, the parties understand and agree that the timing of the commercialization of various PPM Markets may shift (but not change as to the base license fees due for such market) and therefore the corresponding PPM Data license fees will also shift in a corresponding manner as such is appropriate. By way of example only, assuming that commercialization of the Chicago Market is delayed from the anticipated date of March 2008 to April 2008, the PPM Data license fees for such market would not start until April 2008 and the applicable license fees due under the Current Diary Agreement would continue to apply to the Chicago Market for March 2008. | ||
d. | National Services. In the event that one or more of the services licensed pursuant to the PPM Master Agreement is for a national service and a Clear Channel radio station is not licensed to Arbitrons PPM Data for the Market which it is home to, no Clear Channel radio station (or any Clear Channel affiliate, including, but not limited to, KMG Consolidated Radio, Premier Radio Networks, and/or Clear Channel Traffic) may use the data contained in any Arbitron national service to promote or otherwise benefit such non-licensed radio station unless such data is presented in a combined format containing at least one locally licensed Arbitron Market and such data is only displayed in a cumulative manner so that the non-licensed Arbitron Markets data (which would include the data for such non-licensed Clear Channel radio station) is not separately presented. For the purpose of clarity, the specific radio station not licensed to at least its home Markets PPM Data may not use any Arbitron data, including any data in any Arbitron national services. |
9. | Evolution of New Arbitron Services. Upon the release of a new Arbitron service released by Arbitron during 2007-2011 in any Arbitron PPM market, upon written request, Clear Channel shall be provided with a no-charge [ ***** ] month license for up to [ ***** ] Clear Channel markets to permit Clear Channel to evaluate such new service, provided the term of any such no-charge license does not extend beyond the first twelve (12) month period after release of such new service. | ||
10. | RLD Data Services. Clear Channel (or an entity designated by Clear Channel provided such other entity i) is not a competitor of Arbitron, such determination to be at Arbitrons sole and absolute discretion, and/or, ii) does not have a poor reputation in the ratings industry based on the same criteria Arbitron would apply to other third-party entities requesting to participate in the rollout of the RLD Data) shall have the option to participate in Arbitrons rollout of its Respondent Level Data (RLD Data) provided Clear Channel (or such other designated entity) enters into Arbitrons Third Party License Agreement to Use the Arbitron Tally Engine/API Software Modules (the Tally License Agreement). Prior to making a determination as to whether to enter into the Tally License Agreement, Clear Channel (or such other designated entity) shall have the option to enter into a license for the purpose of evaluating the RLD Data (the Evaluation License), as more specifically described in Appendix A. The cost of such Evaluation License shall be $10,000.00, and shall be for a term of not less than six (6) months. |
Page 5 of 12
In the event that Clear Channel (or such other designated entity) determines to enter into the Tally License Agreement, Clear Channel (or such other designated entity) shall pay an annual license fee of $50,000.00 (with credit for the $10,000 paid for the Evaluation License), plus an annual per-station fee as follows: |
i. | Markets 1-10 | $1,300 per station per year | ||||
ii. | Markets 11-25 | $1,000 per station per year | ||||
iii. | Markets 26-75 | $ 750 per station per year | ||||
iv. | Markets 76-100 | $ 500 per station per year | ||||
v. | Markets 101+ | $ 200 per station per year |
The general terms and conditions of the Tally License Agreement at set forth on the Summary of Proposed Terms and Conditions for Licensing Arbitrons Tally Engine/API Software Module for use with Arbitrons Respondent Level Data and Enhanced Data Services are attached hereto as Appendix A. | |||
The Arbitron Tally Engine Software Development Kit License Agreement, the form of which has been provided to Clear Channel, sets forth the terms and conditions of any evaluation and test license for the RLD Data engine. | |||
11. | Clear Channel Requested Special Reports. Until such time as one or more publicly available software applications (such applications may require a license fee to be paid by Clear Channel) are developed which would permit Clear Channel to create the below listed reports, and beginning on the first calendar month after execution of this Agreement, but in no event subsequent to delivery of the July 2007 Monthly PPM data set, Arbitron shall deliver such special Clear Channel report(s) to Clear Channel (in electronic form) within 5 business days of the release of each monthly PPM report in the relevant PPM Market(s) (e.g. if such software application will permit Clear Channel to create three of the six reports, Arbitron shall continue to deliver the three reports which cannot be developed by such software application until such time as there is a program which can create them). In the event that Arbitron fails to deliver such report(s) within the above allotted timeframe, Clear Channel shall receive a reduction equal to [ ***** ] charges applicable to the PPM Analysis Tool software in the PPM Market where such report(s) are delivered late for each day (24 hour period) such report(s) are delivered late. |

Page 6 of 12
12. | Licensing of Unlicensed Clear Channel Acquisitions. The parties agree that any radio stations which are purchased and/or in a management or business relationship with Clear Channel during the Term of the PPM Master Agreement and which qualify for at least two (2) consecutive months (license fee billing shall begin as of the first day of such first qualifying month) to be reported in the PPM Data shall be required under Section 11 of the PPM Master Agreement to license the PPM Data, RLD Data, and to the extent not previously terminated by Clear Channel, the Analysis Tool. If another Clear Channel owned or operated radio station in the market subscribes to any of the Tapscan, Scarborough and/or other Arbitron services, such recently purchased and/or managed station/stations shall also be required to subscribe to at least the same service(s) as those to which the existing station is licensed. As used in this Amendment, the terms managed, manages, and management in reference to Clear Channel radio stations mean any joint operating agreement, management or control agreement, or other business relationship, including but not limited to a joint sales agreement or local marketing agreement. The reference is meant to include any radio station required to be licensed by Clear Channel under Section 11 of the PPM Master Agreement. | ||
13. | Calculation of Rate for Unlicensed Stations. In the event that Clear Channel acquires and/or manages a radio station(s) that is not an Arbitron subscriber, Clear Channel agrees to the use of the following methods for calculating the license fees for the PPM Data, RLD Data, and the Analysis Tool services: |
a. | Licensed Environment, Unlicensed Acquisitions. For stations purchased and/or managed by Clear Channel after the execution date of the PPM Master Agreement, which at the time of such purchase and/or management by Clear Channel are not Arbitron subscribers and are located in markets where Clear Channel already owns and/or manages stations, the services required to be licensed shall be priced on a cost per share point basis, based on the cost per share point being paid by Clear Channels existing radio stations in that PPM market. The cost per share point will be calculated by averaging the PPM Data Persons 6+ AQH Share points for the then-currently licensed Clear Channel owned radio stations in the market. | ||
The cost per share point shall be calculated by summing the total PPM Data Persons 6+ AQH Share points for the then-currently licensed Clear Channel owned radio station(s) in the market using the latest available months of PPM Data (up to a prior twelve month average). The current year combined annual PPM Data, RLD Data and PPM Analysis Tool rates (including sample surcharges, if applicable) for the then-currently licensed Clear Channel owned radio station(s) in the PPM Market is then divided by the sum total of the share points to determine a cost per share point. That cost per share point is then multiplied by the average PPM Data Persons 6+ AQH Share points using the latest available months of PPM Data (up to a prior twelve month average) of the radio station(s) to be licensed, however, the share point will be taken from the then-current monthly report only in the event that the station(s) has just signed on-the-air or undergone a format change or had not qualified for reporting prior surveys such that a zero would be averaged into the calculation to determine the first term year license fee rate for the PPM Data, RLD Data and PPM Analysis Tool for the newly-licensed station. Notwithstanding the results obtained from the calculations performed pursuant to this Section, the parties understand and agree that the minimum License Charge for each survey shall not be less than $[ ***** ]. |
Page 7 of 12
The license fee rates for peripherals services (including Scarborough, Tapscan, Analysis tool, Training, 800 support rate) are to be calculated based on the per station rates being charged to Clear Channels current licensees in the market. | |||
b. | Unlicensed Environment, Licensed Acquisition. For radio stations purchased and/or managed by Clear Channel after the execution of the PPM Master Agreement, which at the time of such purchase and/or management agreement by Clear Channel are not Arbitron subscribers and are located in Arbitron markets where Clear Channel does not own and/or manage other radio stations, any services required to be licensed as set forth in the PPM Master Agreement and/or in this Amendment shall be priced based on the average Clear Channel cost per share point (see calculation above) for the Clear Channel radio stations owned and/or managed in its next three (if there are not three, then based on the number of available markets to do such comparison) higher-ranked subscribing markets and its next three (if there are not three, then based on the number of available markets to do such comparison) lower-ranked subscribing markets. | ||
c. | Licensed Environment, Licensed Acquisitions services not in parity. If a radio station which is purchased and/or managed by Clear Channel during the Term of the PPM Master Agreement is licensed to utilize any of the following: 1-800 support, Weeklies, Training, Tapscan, Qualitap, The Analyisis tool, , Mapmaker and/or PD Advantage and/or Scarborough and/or RetailDirect and/or Maximi$er Qualitative Interface;, and the existing Clear Channels radio stations in the same market are not licensed to one or more of these services, the existing Clear Channels radio stations will not be required to license such service(s). However, those radio stations in the market that are not licensed to these services shall not be permitted to use such services in any manner. Arbitron also reserves the right to cancel the acquired services stated above that are not commonly licensed across all station-owned stations in the market. |
14. | Delivery of PPM Data in Electronic Form/Timing of Delivery of Data. Arbitron hereby agrees that it will supply the PPM Data in at least electronic form and such delivery will be on the date such data is scheduled to be delivered to Arbitrons radio station licensees. |
