3. Discounts for the Radio Market Report:
(a) Continuous Service Discount: A discount of ten percent (10%) in calculating the Periodic Charge applicable to the Radio Market Report only shall be allowed for each month in excess of twelve (12) consecutive months that Station is continuously licensed to use the Arbitron Radio Market Report for this Market, provided that such discount shall no longer apply if Station fails to sign and return this Agreement to Arbitron within forty-five (45) days after the termination of a prior Arbitron radio listening estimates license agreement.
(b) Group Discount: If Station owns two or more radio stations located in different markets and such radio stations are under common ownership as defined by Arbitron, Station may be entitled to a Group Discount based on the number of subscribing radio stations owned at the time this Agreement is executed, which discount may vary and be adjusted during the Term of this Agreement in accordance with Arbitron’s Group Discount Schedule should the number of subscribing commonly owned radio stations change.
(c) Long-Term Discount: A discount of

4. Periodic Charge; Taxes: The Periodic Charge, due and payable by Station on the first day of each billing period, shall be: (a) the Gross Annual Rate plus any adjustments; (b) less any applicable Continuous Service Discount; (c) less, from the amount thereby derived, any applicable Group Discount; (d) less, from the amount thereby derived, any applicable Long-Term Discount; (e) with such amount prorated equally between the number of payments for the Term year.
In addition to and together with the above payments, Station shall pay to Arbitron any sales, excise, gross-receipts, service, use or other taxes, however designated, now or hereafter imposed upon or required to be collected by Arbitron by any authority having jurisdiction over the Market being surveyed or over any location to which Station directs Arbitron to deliver Data, or by any other taxing jurisdiction.
5. Late Payment Charge and Right to Suspend Report Delivery or Terminate License:
(a) A late payment charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month will be charged on all Periodic Charges, as adjusted, which are not paid within 60 days after due hereunder, but in no event will the applicable per-month late payment charge exceed one-twelfth of the maximum annual percentage allowed to be charged by applicable state usury law. Any failure to impose a late payment charge shall not prejudice Arbitron’s right to do so should the default continue or should a subsequent payment not be made when due.
(b) In the event Station is in default in its payment obligations hereunder, and in addition to Arbitron’s right to impose a late payment charge, Arbitron may, with respect to this Agreement and/or any other

agreement for Station’s use of services licensed by Arbitron in this Market or an adjacent market, and without terminating, breaching or committing a default under this Agreement or such other agreements: (i) accelerate or modify in any way the payment schedule of Periodic Charges for the duration of this Agreement or such other agreement(s) to a number of installments to be determined by Arbitron in its discretion; and/or (ii) suspend delivery to Station of any Data or Report(s), in any form, which are due until such time as Station is current in its payments of all sums due; and/or (iii) send Station written notice that Station’s license hereunder is suspended, in which case Station further expressly agrees that it thereafter shall not use Data and/or Reports previously received by Station until such time as Station becomes current in its payments of all sums due for services licensed by Arbitron. Acceleration or other modification of the payment schedule by Arbitron under this provision shall not be deemed or considered a penalty but rather represents a good faith effort to quantify as of the time of the execution of this Agreement the harm that would be sustained by Arbitron in the event Station defaults on its payment obligations hereunder.
(c) In the event Station is in default in its payment obligations under this Agreement or under any other agreement for Station’s use of services licensed by Arbitron in this Market or an adjacent market, then Arbitron may exercise any or all of its rights set forth in Section 5(b) of this Section 5 with respect to any such agreement entered into with Arbitron by Station or any of Station’s affiliated, subsidiary or related corporations or entities regardless of whether such other agreements are in default. For purposes of this Section 5(c), a corporation or entity shall be deemed to be affiliated with or related to Station if (i) such corporation or entity owns or controls more than a fifty percent (50%) interest in Station and/or it enters or has entered into any management agreement, joint operating agreement or other business relationship with Station; or (ii) Station owns or controls more than a fifty percent (50%) interest in such corporation or entity and/or it enters or has entered into any management agreement, joint operating agreement or other business relationship with such corporation or entity; or (iii) a third party owns or controls more than a fifty percent (50%) interest in, and/or enters or has entered into, any management agreement, joint operating agreement or other business relationship with both Station and such corporation or entity.
(d) Arbitron’s suspension hereunder of delivery of Data and/or Reports and/or Systems to Station, and the license granted hereunder, shall not relieve Station of any of its obligations hereunder. Station further agrees to reimburse Arbitron for all collection costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred hereunder. This license may be terminated immediately by Arbitron should Station or its station(s) default in payment of any sum due or should Station or its station(s) default in any other condition or obligation of this Agreement and/or any other agreement for Station’s use of services licensed by Arbitron.
6. Changes in Service; Modification of Rates:
(a) Arbitron reserves the right to change at any time the geographical territory comprising any Market, its policies and procedures, survey dates, survey length, survey frequency, sampling procedures, delivery schedules, methodology, method of Data or Report collection or delivery, provision of printed copies of Reports, Report content, Report titles, Report format, or any other aspect of the Data and Reports provided hereunder, and to cancel surveys and the preparation of Arbitron Data and Reports or any other aspect of the Data services provided.
Arbitron reserves the right not to publish any Data or Reports whenever, in its judgment, insufficient data are available to meet its minimum research standards or any event has jeopardized the reliability of the data. In the event that Data and/or Reports are not published, Station shall receive a credit reflecting the pro rata value of the Net Annual Rate for said Data and/or Report(s). Without limiting the foregoing, Station expressly understands and agrees that Arbitron may, at any time during the Term of this Agreement, reduce the number of surveys conducted and/or Reports published for any Market and consequently
reduce the number of Reports provided to Station and that, in the event such reduction occurs, Station is not relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) In the event that any cause(s) prevents Arbitron from conducting any survey in accordance with its methodology, schedules or other publications, Arbitron reserves the right to publish abbreviated Report(s). Station hereby consents to publication of such abbreviated Report(s) under such circumstances. In the event that such an abbreviated Report covers a substantially decreased geographic area, or deletes twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the survey days from the aggregate number of days scheduled, Station shall be entitled to either a proportionate credit for the abbreviated Report, or, upon written certification that all copies of such abbreviated report have been destroyed and that Station will not use such abbreviated report within 10 days, a full credit for the abbreviated Report, at Station’s option, provided however, that if Station elects to return an abbreviated Report for full credit, Station shall no longer be licensed to use that Report during the remainder of the Term of this Agreement. Further, Arbitron reserves the right in its sole discretion to augment available data by means of expanded or extended samples and Station agrees it shall not be entitled to any credit in such event.
(c) Arbitron may increase the Gross Annual Rate hereunder at any time. If Arbitron increases the Rate for a reason other than as permitted elsewhere in this Agreement, it shall give prior written notice to Station. Station may, within a 30-day period following such notice, cancel the unexpired Term of the Agreement for only the Data and/or Reports and/or services and Market for which Arbitron has increased its Rate pursuant to such notice, by written notice pursuant to Section 15(a), without cancellation charge or other cost, effective on the date the new Gross Annual Rate would have become effective. In the absence of such timely cancellation, this Agreement shall continue and the new Gross Annual Rate shall become payable as stated in Arbitron’s notice and thereafter.
7. Permitted Uses and Confidentiality: Subject to the restrictions stated herein and to the permitted uses set forth in Arbitron’s publication entitled Working with Arbitron’s Copyrighted Estimates available to all Arbitron licensees and posted on Arbitron’s Web site at www.arbitron.com, Station agrees to limit its uses of the Arbitron Data and Report(s) to its programming and media selling. Station understands and agrees that this use is limited exclusively to the radio station(s) specified in Section 1 of this Agreement and only for the Term of this Agreement. In this connection, Station agrees that the Arbitron Data and/or Report(s) will only be disclosed:
(a) directly or through its Station representatives to advertisers, prospective advertisers and their agencies for the purpose of obtaining and retaining advertising accounts; and
(b) through advertising or other promotional literature as permitted hereunder.
All such disclosures shall identify Arbitron as the source of the disclosed Arbitron Data and/or Report(s) and should identify the Market, survey period and type of audience estimate, daypart and survey area and shall state that the Arbitron Data and/or Report(s) quoted therein are copyrighted by Arbitron and are subject to all limitations and qualifications disclosed in the Data and/or Report(s) (“Sourcing”).* At all times during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter, Station agrees to keep the Arbitron Data and/or Report(s) confidential and not to disclose the same except as permitted by this Agreement. Station agrees to use its best efforts to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of Arbitron Data and/or Report(s) by Station’s employees and/or its radio station(s)’s employees and agents, by its radio station(s)’s representatives, by its advertisers and their advertising agencies, by data processing firms, and by all other persons who obtain
 
*  
Station(s) should refer to current regulations and guidelines of the federal government for further requirements concerning the manner of quoting audience estimates.

the Arbitron Data and/or Reports from Station or its radio station(s)’s employees or agents. For Station or its radio station(s) to divulge any Arbitron Data and/or Report(s) to a nonsubscribing station or to lend and/or give an original copy or any reproduction of any part of any Data and/or Report(s) or any Arbitron Data and/or Reports to any person or entity not authorized by this Agreement constitutes a breach of this Agreement and an infringement of Arbitron’s copyright.
In the event that Station does not subscribe to all Reports published in an applicable Market during the Term, the license granted hereunder to any Report in such Market shall terminate upon the release of the next survey Report in such Market. Further, in the event that a Report listed in Section 1 of this Agreement is delivered after the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, Station’s license to use that Report shall continue under the terms and conditions of this Agreement until the earlier of: (i) the release of the next survey Report in the applicable licensed Market, or (ii) 6 months after such report’s release.
Station may authorize a third party to process the Data licensed hereunder on Station’s behalf, provided: (1) that said third party is a then current Arbitron licensee in good standing who is authorized to process the Data and (2) that all restrictions concerning the use of the Data provided under this Agreement shall apply with full force and effect to any data, estimates, reports or other output, in any form, containing or derived from the Data, produced by said third party for Station.
8. Confidentiality of Arbitron Respondents: Station agrees that it will not try either before, during or after a survey, or in connection with any litigation, to determine or discover the identity or location of any Arbitron survey participant. Station will under no circumstances directly or indirectly attempt to contact any such persons. Station agrees to promptly report to Arbitron any evidence or indication that has come to Station’s attention regarding the identity or location of any such persons. Station agrees to abide by Minimum Standard A9 (or any successor provision concerning confidentiality of survey respondents) of the Media Rating Council and shall abide by any determination of the Media Rating Council concerning respondent confidentiality. Station further agrees that Arbitron may enjoin any breach of the above-stated obligations and shall have the right to damages or other remedies (including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees) available to it at law or hereunder.
9. Methodology: ARBITRON MAKES NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS, CONCERNING THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, INCLDUING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
(A) DATA GATHERED OR OBTAINED BY ARBITRON FROM ANY SOURCE;
(B) THE PRESENT OR FUTURE METHODOLOGY EMPLOYED BY ARBITRON IN PRODUCING ARBITRON DATA AND/OR REPORT(S) AND/OR SERVICES; OR
(C) THE ARBITRON DATA AND/OR REPORT(S) AND/OR SERVICES LICENSED HEREUNDER.
ALL ARBITRON DATA AND/OR REPORT(S) REPRESENT ONLY THE OPINION OF ARBITRON. RELIANCE THEREON AND USE THEREOF BY STATION IS AT STATION’S OWN RISK.
THE SYSTEMS PROVIDED HEREUNDER ARE PROVIDED TO LICENSEE “AS IS — WHERE IS” AND RELIANCE THEREON AND USE THEREOF BY LICENSEE IS AT LICENSEE’S OWN RISK.
IN NO EVENT SHALL ARBITRON BE LIABLE FOR THE FAILURE OF ANY THIRD PARTY TO PROVIDE ANY DATA OR SERVICES FOR USE IN CONNECTION WITH THE DATA, REPORTS, SYSTEMS AND/OR SERVICES LICENSED HEREUNDER.
10. Liabilities and Limitations of Remedies: THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, FOR ARBITRON’S AND/OR ANY THIRD PARTY DATA AND/OR SERVICE PROVIDER’S BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS, AND THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ARBITRON’S AND/OR ANY THIRD PARTY DATA AND/OR SERVICE PROVIDER’S LIABILITY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE OR DELAY WITH RESPECT TO THE ARBITRON DATA AND/OR REPORTS AND/OR SYSTEMS AND ALL PERFORMANCE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE LIMITED TO A CREDIT TO STATION OF AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO, AT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT, THE LICENSE CHARGE PAID BY STATION WHICH IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE MATERIALLY AFFECTED DATA OR REPORT OR SYSTEM. IN NO EVENT SHALL ARBITRON AND/OR ANY THIRD PARTY DATA AND/OR SERVICE PROVIDER BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, NOR SHALL THEY BE SUBJECT TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF WITH RESPECT TO THE PUBLICATION OF ANY DATA AND/OR REPORT OR TO ANY SYSTEM. STATION UNDERSTANDS THAT THE DATA AND/OR REPORTS AND/OR SYSTEM EITHER WOULD NOT BE PREPARED OR WOULD BE AVAILABLE ONLY AT A SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED LICENSE CHARGE WERE IT NOT FOR THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITIES AND REMEDIES AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION.
Station agrees that it will notify Arbitron in writing of any alleged defect in any Data and/or Report and/or System within thirty (30) days after Station learns of said alleged defect. In the event that Station does not timely notify Arbitron, then Station waives all rights with regard to said alleged defect. Station further agrees that any action to be brought by it concerning any Data and/or Report and/or System shall be brought not more than one (1) year after such Data or Report was originally published by Arbitron.
In the event that either party commences litigation against the other party and fails to ultimately prevail on the merits of such litigation, the commencing party shall reimburse and indemnify the other party from any and all costs and expenses incurred with respect to such litigation, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply where Arbitron commences litigation pursuant to Sections 5, 7 or 8 of this Agreement. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
11. Assignments and Changes in Station Status: Station may not assign either its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Arbitron. Subject to Arbitron’s consent, a successor-in-interest by merger, operation of law, assignment, purchase or otherwise of the entire business of Station shall acquire all rights and be subject to all obligations of Station hereunder. In the event that Arbitron consents to the assignment of this Agreement, Arbitron reserves the right to redetermine the rate to be charged to the assignee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Arbitron shall be entitled to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including the right to receive the License Charge payable hereunder.
Station acknowledges and agrees that the License Charge due and the adjustments and discounts applied hereunder are based on Station’s group ownership status and/or any joint operating agreement with one or more other radio stations and/or Station’s ownership of radio stations in this Market or other Markets. In the event Station conveys any one of its radio stations, Station remains fully obligated for the License Charge specified for any radio station covered by the terms of this Agreement. Station may only be released from such obligations upon valid assignment of this Agreement and subject to the terms thereof.
Station agrees that if at any time it changes or has changed its ownership, operating or sales policy (including the use of digital sub-channels), frequency, broadcasting arrangements, group or business relationships of the station(s) licensed under this Agreement, or if it enters or has entered into any management or other business relationship with another radio station in any Market and/or its adjacent Market(s), or if it enters or has entered into any joint operating agreement with one or more other radio stations, or if it is or was purchased or controlled by an entity owning or otherwise controlling other radio stations in any Market and/or its adjacent Market(s), or if it purchases, or an entity which is in any manner controlled by it purchases, at any time, another radio station in any Market or its

adjacent Market(s), Station and its radio station(s) will report the change and the effective date thereof to Arbitron within thirty (30) days of such change. In the event of such occurrence, Station agrees that such station(s) shall be licensed under this Agreement and that Arbitron may redetermine the Gross Annual Rate for the Data, Reports, and/or services pursuant to the then current Arbitron rate card in order to license such additional station(s), effective the first month following the date of the occurrence. Notwithstanding Station’s failure to notify Arbitron, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11, Arbitron may redetermine Station’s Gross Annual Rate for all Data, Reports, and/or services, based on the foregoing, effective the first month following the date of the occurrence.
Station further agrees that if the parent company or other controlling entity of Station, or any entity in any manner related to Station, purchases or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in a radio station in Station’s Market that is not licensed by Arbitron for the same Data, Reports and/or Services, then Arbitron may redetermine Station’s Gross Annual Rate based on such occurrence as described in this Section 11.
In the event Arbitron increases Station’s Gross Annual Rate as a result of an occurrence as described in this Section, then Arbitron shall amend this Agreement to permit use of the Data, Reports and/or services by the additional radio station(s) prompting the increase.
12. Other Arbitron Services and Reports: If, during the Term of this Agreement, Station orders any Arbitron services or report(s) not licensed through any other Arbitron agreement, Station hereby agrees that this Agreement shall be applicable with respect to all such services and/or reports with the same force and effect as if printed out at length in a separate agreement executed by Station.
13. Ratings Distortion Activity:
(a) Station agrees that it shall not engage in any activities which are determined by Arbitron to be ratings distortion. Such prohibited activities may include, but are not limited to, activities which could:
(i) cause any survey participant to record erroneous listening information in his or her Arbitron diary; or
(ii) cause any survey participant to utilize an Arbitron diary for a contest or promotion conducted by Station or its radio station(s).
(b) Station further agrees that Arbitron may delete all estimates of listening to Station and/or its radio station(s) from any Data, Reports, computer CD and/or other Arbitron service or method of delivery where, in its judgment it has deemed that Station or its radio station(s) has engaged in such activities. Arbitron shall:
(i) first give Station and its radio station(s) notice setting forth what activities it deems Station and its radio station(s) have engaged in which allegedly could cause or have caused ratings distortion;
(ii) present evidence to substantiate the allegations set forth in (i) above; and
(iii) give Station and its radio station(s) reasonable opportunity (in light of Arbitron’s publication schedule for any Report) to present its position both in writing and orally.
In the event that Station or its radio station(s) is notified by Arbitron that allegations of ratings distortion have been made against Station or its radio station(s), then Station or its radio station(s) shall submit a written response to Arbitron’s inquiry concerning the allegations within seven (7) days from the receipt of Arbitron’s notice, which time may be shortened by Arbitron for reasons relating to the Report publication schedule. Arbitron shall then advise Station or its radio station(s) of its decision following its receipt of Station’s or its radio station(s)’ written response or oral presentation. All such writings shall be addressed and sent to the respective party by facsimile, overnight courier service, or certified mail with return receipt requested. In the event that estimates of listening to Station and/or its radio station(s) are deleted from a Report(s) (and/or other Arbitron services) following the procedure set forth above, Station and its radio station(s) agree that the only remedy for such deletion shall be a credit of the License Charge paid by Station for such Report(s) or other affected services and that in no event shall
Arbitron be liable for special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages or be subject to injunctive relief with respect to any such deletion of estimates of listening to Station and/or its radio station(s). In the event that estimates of listening to Station and/or its radio stations are deleted from a Report pursuant to this Section, Arbitron agrees that it will give Station and its radio station(s) an opportunity to submit to Arbitron a written statement (not exceeding 200 words) of Station’s and/or its radio station(s)’s views concerning its alleged activities, with such written statement to be published in the Report subject to such reasonable editing deemed necessary by Arbitron. In addition, Station and its radio station(s) agree to abide by the Arbitron policies and procedures governing various special station activities, including, but not limited to, rating bias.
14. Information to be Provided by Station and Its Radio Station(s): Station and its radio station(s) agree to provide to Arbitron, within ten (10) days of receipt of Arbitron’s request, such information which Arbitron deems necessary for the publication of a Report, including, but not limited to, accurate descriptions of the following information for Station and its radio station(s): (a) facilities; (b) broadcast station names; (c) broadcast hours; (d) simulcast hours; (e) radio frequency; (f) operating power; (g) format; (h) height of antenna above average terrain; and (i) programming information. Station and its radio station(s) further understand and agree to notify Arbitron of any changes to the above-referenced information. Station and its radio station(s) hereby hold Arbitron harmless and agree to indemnify Arbitron from and against any and all loss, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any omission or error in information provided, or the failure to provide such information to Arbitron by Station and its radio station(s) pursuant to this Section.
15. General:
(a) All notices to either party shall be in writing and shall be directed to the addresses stated hereafter unless written notice of an address change has been provided.
(b) This Agreement shall be deemed to be an agreement made under, and to be construed and governed by, the laws of the State of New York, exclusive of its choice of law rules. The parties expressly agree that any and all disputes arising out of or concerning this Agreement or the Arbitron Data or Reports licensed hereunder shall be litigated and adjudicated exclusively in State and/or Federal Courts located in either the State of New York or the State of Maryland, at Arbitron’s option, and each party consents to and submits to both such jurisdictions.
(c) EACH PARTY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUES, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS OR DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER MATTER INVOLVING THE PARTIES HERETO.
(d) Station hereby expressly consents to: (i) Arbitron sending to Station information advertising the various services that Arbitron provides, whether or not such services are provided under this Agreement, via electronic messaging to include, but not limited to, e-mail, facsimile and text messages, and (ii) use of Station’s name and/or call letters in Arbitron customer lists, promotional materials and/or press releases.
(e) This Agreement, together with any Agreement Attachments, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, notwithstanding any previous discussions and understandings, and shall not be deemed to have been modified in whole or in part except by written instruments signed hereafter by officers of the parties or other persons to whom the parties have delegated such authority.
(f) Any litigated question regarding the legality, enforceability or validity of any section or part hereof shall not affect any other section, and if any section or part hereof is ultimately determined illegal, invalid, unconstitutional or unenforceable, that section or part hereof

shall be severed from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall thereafter remain in full force and effect for the remainder of the Term.
(g) In addition to the rights of termination stated elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement, and the license provided hereunder, may be terminated by Arbitron for any or all of the Data, Reports and/or services in any or all of the Markets in which they are licensed, for any reason, on thirty (30) days’ written notice to Station. Station agrees that this Agreement shall continue for the markets and services not named in such notice.
(h) In the event that Arbitron produces pre-currency/transitional PPM report(s) and/or data in a Market(s) prior to the official PPM commercialization of such Market(s), Station hereby agrees to license such pre-currency/transitional PPM report(s) and/or data at Station’s then current diary-based Report License Charges for the relevant Report survey period(s). The license granted to Station for such pre-currency/transitional PPM report(s) and/or data is subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, however, Station agrees to only use such pre-currency/transitional PPM report(s) and/or data for internal business analysis and expressly not in connection with any commercial media buying and/or selling transaction process.

Portions of this exhibit have been omitted and filed separately pursuant to an application for confidential treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Omissions are designated as [*****]
First Addendum to the
“Master Station License Agreement to Receive and
Use Arbitron Radio Audience Estimates”
Between Arbitron Inc. and Clear Channel Broadcasting, Inc.
     This is a first addendum (“Addendum”) to the “Master Station License Agreement to Receive and Use Arbitron Radio Audience Estimates” (the “Diary Agreement”), with a date of Proposal of March 27th, 2009, by and between Arbitron Inc. (“Arbitron”) and Clear Channel Broadcasting, Inc. (“Clear Channel”, “Licensee”, and/or “Station”), for a Term that commenced on January 1, 2009 and ends on December 31, 2011, and for only the radio stations listed on Schedule 1. For the avoidance of doubt, the Effective Date of the Agreement and this Addendum is January 1, 2009. Each is referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms shall have the same meaning ascribed to them as set forth in the Diary Agreement unless indicated otherwise in this Addendum. This Addendum is further comprised by Appendix A and Appendix B, both of which are attached hereto and made a part hereof. Appendix A, Appendix B, and this first addendum, is collectively referred to herein as the “Addendum”. In the event of a conflict between this Addendum and the Diary Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Addendum shall prevail.
The Parties hereto agree to amend the Diary Agreement as follows:
1. Any radio station(s) not explicitly set forth on Schedule 1, and that Clear Channel subsequently purchases, acquires an ownership interest in, and/or enters into a management** relationship with during the Term, and the radio station qualifies to be reported in an Arbitron report (the “New Station”), Clear Channel hereby expressly agrees that the New Station is required, pursuant to Section 11 of the Diary Agreement, to license at least the following Arbitron basic services: a) Local Market Report; b) Maximi$er; and, c) Arbitrends (where available).
Further, if there is a pre-existing Clear Channel owned, operated, and/or managed radio station in the same market as the New Station (the “Existing Station”), and the Existing Station is licensed to any one of the following Arbitron provided services: d) Tapscan; e) PD Advantage; f) Scarborough; and/or, g) RetailDirect, then the New Station is also required to subscribe to at least the same level of Arbitron service(s) licensed by the Existing Station.
However, Arbitron hereby agrees that Clear Channel shall not be required to subscribe for any New Station located in the Markets set forth in Appendix A until such New Station uses and/or receives any Arbitron services, data, and/or information. At that point, the New Station shall be automatically invoiced from the date that they first use and/or receive such Arbitron services, data, and/or information on a retroactive basis.
For the avoidance of doubt, the addition of any New Station(s) after the Effective Date of this Diary Agreement shall not increase any applicable Clear Channel discount provided by Arbitron, including but not limited to a Group Discount. For example, the basis for any applicable Clear Channel discount is determined in accordance with the criteria set forth under Section 17 hereof and the Diary Agreement.

1


 

**   As used in the Addendum and the Diary Agreement, the terms “managed”, “manages”, “arrangement”, and “management”, shall mean any joint operating agreement, management or control agreement, or other similar business relationship (however designated), including but not limited to a joint sales agreement or local marketing agreement, that allows Clear Channel to exercise some degree of control over such radio station such as through an ownership interest, an operational interest, and/or some controlling aspect related to such radio station.
2. If a New Station licenses: d) Tapscan; e) PD Advantage; f) Scarborough; g) RetailDirect; and/or, h) Maximi$er Qualitative Interface, and the Existing Station is not currently licensed to any of the services d-h in this Section 2, the Existing Station is not required to license such service(s). However, for the avoidance of doubt, if an Existing Station does not license the services d-h, then such Existing Station shall not be permitted to use any such services in any manner that it is not licensed for. Clear Channel hereby agrees that any such use is in violation of Arbitron’s intellectual property rights including but not limited to copyright rights.
3. In the event that a New Station already has a pre-existing Arbitron license agreement(s) for Local Market Report, Maximi$er, Arbitrends, RetailDirect and/or Scarborough, and the Arbitron license agreement(s) [*****], such agreements shall be voided and incorporated into the Diary Agreement using the initial pricing cost per share terms described in Section 4 below, as well as the Clear Channel’s rate escalator which is [*****] for the Term of this Diary Agreement. Any such agreements will [*****].
4. For any New Station that is not a pre-existing Arbitron licensee, Clear Channel hereby expressly agrees that Arbitron may use the following calculations below for determining the License Charges associated with the New Station’s subscription for Arbitron’s Local Market Report, Maximi$er and Arbitrends services (the “Basic Services”).
a. The following calculations apply to any New Station in an Existing Station market for the Basic Services.
1) The License Charge for Arbitron’s Local Market Report service for the New Station is calculated on an average cost per share point basis, based on the average cost per share point paid by all of the Existing Stations in the applicable market.
For example, the average cost per share point is calculated by adding the total Persons 12+ AQH Share points for all of the Existing Stations in the market (two-report average in a two-report market (most recent two reports), four-report average in a four-report market (most recent four reports)).
The current year combined annual Local Market Report, Maximi$er, and Arbitrends (where Arbitrends is available) License Charges (including sample surcharges, if applicable) for all of the Existing Stations in the market is divided by the total share points to determine an average cost per share point.
That average cost per share point is then multiplied by the Persons 12+ AQH Share points of the New Station(s) to be licensed (two-report average in a two-report market (most recent two reports), four-report average in a four-report market (most recent four reports)).

2


 

However, the share point will be taken from the then-current report only in the event that the New Station(s) has just signed on-the-air, or undergone a format change to determine the first term year License Charge for the Local Market Report, Maximi$er and Arbitrends (where Arbitrends is available) (collectively, the “New Station Rate”).
After calculating the New Station Rate, it will become the first term year License Charge for the Local Market Report, Maximi$er, and Arbitrends (where Arbitrends is available), and will then increase at a [*****] annual rate of escalation for the New Station(s) during the Term.
b. The following calculations apply to any New Station not in an Existing Station’s market.
1) The License Charge for Arbitron’s Local Market Report service for the New Station is calculated on the average cost per share point basis, based on the average cost per share point in Clear Channel’s next three higher-ranked subscribing markets and its next three lower-ranked subscribing markets (the “Ranked Markets”).
For example, the average cost per share point is the total Arbitron RMR/max/trends/sample cost divided by the total 12+ Clear Channel station share points in the applicable market.
The current year combined annual Local Market Report, Maximi$er, and Arbitrends (where Arbitrends is available) License Charges (including sample surcharges, if applicable) for all of Clear Channel’s subscribing radio stations in the Ranked Markets is divided by the average total share points to determine an average cost per share point.
That average cost per share point for the Rated Markets is then multiplied by the total 12+ share points of the New Station to determine a final License Charge first term year rate for the Local Market Report, Maximi$er and Arbitrends (where Arbitrends is available). This first term year rate shall increase at a [*****] annual rate of escalation for the New Station(s) during the Term.
c. The Parties hereby expressly agree that the calculations set forth in Sections 4(a) and 4(b) hereinabove shall apply to any situations where a New Station(s) has not been an Arbitron licensee in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the effective date of Clear Channel’s purchase, acquisition, obtaining an ownership interest in, and/or has a management relationship with the New Station(s).
d. The license term for any New Station(s) licensed under this Section 4 shall begin with the survey next following Arbitron’s written notice to Jess Hanson of Clear Channel or his authorized designee of Arbitron’s intent to add such New Station(s) under the Diary Agreement.

e. Subject to Appendix A attached hereto, Arbitron hereby agrees that Clear Channel shall not be required to subscribe for any New Station(s) until such New Station(s) uses and/or receives any Arbitron services, data, and/or information in the listed twenty-four markets. If any such use and/or receipt occurs by the New Station in one of the listed twenty-four markets in Appendix A, Clear Channel expressly agrees that the New Station(s) shall be automatically invoiced from the date the radio station first uses and/or receive such Arbitron services, data, and/or information on a retroactive basis, and the terms and conditions of Section 4 shall apply without any dispute thereof.
5. In the event a New Station and/or a Clear Channel radio station that previously was unlicensed (due to not making minimum reporting standards to be included in the RMR) appears as a reported Arbitron radio station in more than one Local Market Report, such New Station and/or Clear Channel radio station shall be automatically licensed to the Arbitron market in which Clear Channel reports the radio station’s home status.
6. New Arbitron Markets
If Arbitron opens entirely new radio markets in which Clear Channel owns, manages, and/or operates radio stations after the Effective Date of this Addendum, Clear Channel shall maintain the option to subscribe to such new markets; provided however, that Clear Channel will be required to subscribe to those new markets that are opened at the request of Clear Channel, or provided that Clear Channel is subject to the following language below***. Pricing in the new markets shall be determined in accordance with Section 4 herein. The Parties agree that, for this Section 6, the Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Station(s) and stations located in the twenty-four markets listed in Appendix A will not be considered when determining if Clear Channel owns, manages, and/or operates radio stations in a new radio market that Arbitron opens. In other words, the twenty-four markets listed in Appendix A and the markets in which the Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Station(s) will not be considered a new market for the purposes of this Agreement.
***   Clear Channel hereby expressly agrees that it must subscribe its radio stations in a new radio market that Arbitron opens under the following criteria:
a) in 2009 — none.
b) in 2010 — at least one of the new radio markets.
c) in 2011 — at least one of the new radio markets.
  (a)   Rates in the new markets opened after the execution of this Addendum will be based on the average Clear Channel cost per share point (in accordance with Section 4 above) for the Clear Channel stations owned, operated, and/or managed in its next three higher-ranked subscribing markets and its next three lower-ranked subscribing markets. Once the average Clear Channel cost per share point is determined for those subscribing markets, the total 12+ share points of the Clear Channel station or radio stations owned, operated, and/or managed in the new market will be multiplied by that average cost per share point to determine the License Charges for the Local Market Report, Maximi$er and Arbitrends (where Arbitrends is available), i.e., the Basic Services.
 
      The cost per share point for any newly created market will not exceed the average cost per share point for all Clear Channel stations within the following market groupings in which the newly created market appears. These market groupings are 1-10; 11-25; 26-50; 51-75; 76-

4


 

      100. By way of example, if the newly created market is market 12, the cost per share point for all Clear Channel stations in market 12 will not exceed the average cost per share point for all Clear Channel stations in the 11 through 25 market grouping.
 
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following language in this paragraph only applies to markets 200+. If the rate calculated hereunder Section 6(a) exceeds the Cap (defined hereinafter), then that License Charge shall apply rather than the calculated rate. However, if the rate falls below the minimum License Charge amount of [*****] per term year for each new market, then the minimum License Charge shall be invoiced. In other words, the License Charge(s) for all of Clear Channel’s radio stations in the newly created market(s) for the Basic Services (where Arbitrends is available) shall be capped at a maximum of [*****] per term year (the “Cap”), and have a minimum License Charge of [*****] per term year for each of the applicable new market(s).
  (b)   During any period that Clear Channel’s radio stations in the newly opened markets are not properly licensed to the Arbitron services, the Clear Channel radio stations in such newly opened markets will neither be entitled to use the NRD service nor will be entitled to use the County Coverage service.
 
  (c)   Clear Channel’s national and regional sales entities located outside of the newly created market (including but not limited to KMG Consolidated Radio and Clear Channel Radio Sales) will be allowed to use data for the newly created market only in conjunction with another properly licensed Clear Channel market. That is, any such entities are not permitted to use the data separately for the newly created markets. For those newly created markets that Clear Channel elects not to license, as an accommodation to Clear Channel, Arbitron will permit the national and regional Clear Channel sales entities located out of such unlicensed markets to use such data on the regional and national level through NRD, and not on the local level.
(d) In addition, for those newly created markets that Clear Channel elects not to license, Clear Channel’s radio stations located in the newly created market shall no longer be licensed to use the NRD current or past data, and it will not be entitled to use the County Coverage service in any manner whatsoever.
(e) License Charges for any Arbitron services in the newly created market shall increase at [*****] per year above the previous term year’s License Charges.
(f) Arbitron will notify Clear Channel of all radio broadcast measured markets to be created for the upcoming Spring survey by July of the preceding year. Similarly, Arbitron will notify Clear Channel of all new radio broadcast measured markets to be created for the upcoming Fall survey by July of the preceding year.
(g) The Parties hereby expressly agree that any new Arbitron license agreement, entered into pursuant to the terms of the Diary Agreement and/or this Addendum, shall immediately co-terminate with the expiration of the Term of the Diary Agreement.
7. Clear Channel hereby expressly opts to obtain the rights for all Clear Channel owned, managed, and operated radio stations to use Arbitron’s National Regional Database (“NRD”) (accessible through Arbitron’s TapWeb service), as of the effective date of this Addendum. Arbitron agrees to license such rights to Clear Channel for an annual License Charge of [*****] during the first term year (January 1, 2009 — December 31, 2009) of the Diary Agreement. The License Charge for NRD shall be increased by [*****] each calendar term year thereafter during the Term.

5


 

For the avoidance of doubt, Clear Channel hereby acknowledges that NRD shall only be delivered through Arbitron’s TapWeb service beginning with the Spring 2009 survey. In addition, Clear Channel hereby further acknowledges that any customized geography (such as for the State of Florida) will need to access their information through TapWeb. As a result, Arbitron shall no longer generate a Maximi$er geographic csar (for the State of Florida used for exemplary purposes only).
8. Clear Channel may neither assign nor transfer any license agreements and/or rights associated with Arbitron’s NRD service unless such assignment and/or transfer is in its entirety. In addition, such annual License Charge set forth in Section 7 is a corporate charge to be billed at a corporate level and not at a market level.
9. Clear Channel expressly agrees that any use of Arbitron’s Summary Level Dataset and/or Arbitron’s Nationwide Dataset, which may be provided under a separate processor agreement between Arbitron and Clear Channel, is limited to use only by Clear Channel’s owned, operated, and/or managed radio stations, and any Clear Channel corporate executives overseeing such radio properties.
For the avoidance of doubt, any other entity associated with Clear Channel (including but not limited to networks, rep. firms, traffic/commuter services, consultants, or the like), must obtain their own separate Arbitron license agreement to access, use, and/or receive Arbitron’s Summary Level Dataset, and/or Arbitron’s Nationwide Dataset.
10. Clear Channel corporate shall receive Arbitron’s Corporate Roll-Up service during the Term at no additional License Charge; provided however, that Clear Channel properly subscribes to Arbitron’s Basic Services available in all applicable Markets in which Clear Channel manages, owns, and/or operates radio stations.
Arbitron hereby agrees that if the Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Station(s), as set forth on Appendix B hereof, are no longer managed by Clear Channel, such actions by Clear Channel as it solely pertains to the Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Station(s) shall not impact Clear Channel’s corporate roll-up no charge status.
11. Clear Channel’s radio stations, as set forth on Schedule 1, are hereby granted ‘full market access,’ which is defined as an Arbitron limited, personal, and revocable license to use data from all Arbitron syndicated radio broadcast measured markets, accessed through Arbitron’s Maximi$er and Nationwide services. This may include data from Arbitron radio broadcast measured markets in which Clear Channel does not own, operates, and/or manages radio stations.
Moreover, if Clear Channel begins management, operation, ownership, or the like, of any radio stations in markets not listed on Schedule 1, this ‘full market access’ right under Section 11 shall be immediately and automatically revoked.
If Clear Channel owns, manages, and/or buys a New Station(s) in a market not set forth on Schedule 1, then Clear Channel hereby expressly agrees that such New Station(s) must properly subscribe with Arbitron in order for it to maintain its full market access under this Section 11 of the Addendum.
12. In the event that Arbitron entirely replaces the diary-based ratings service in any market(s) that Licensee is a current subscriber to with an electronic media measurement service as the sole form of audience measurement for radio in that particular market, either Party may terminate any, all, or a portion of the Arbitron license agreements with 60 days written notice prior to implementation of such new electronic media measurement technology in the affected

6


 

market(s). After such implementation of the new technology in the affected market(s), neither Party shall have the right to terminate the Arbitron license agreements except as provided in the Arbitron license agreements.
13. Arbitron hereby expressly agrees that Clear Channel shall have the right to cause Arbitron to end all billing for the Diary Agreement on December 31, 2011, by incorporating any License Charge(s) scheduled to roll-over into calendar year 2012 into Arbitron’s October, November and December 2011 invoices in pro-rated equal amounts for the affected markets (the “Invoice Right”). Clear Channel’s Invoice Right shall only be exercisable if Clear Channel, in its sole discretion, opts to provide written notice to Arbitron that it is exercising the Invoice Right.
For the avoidance of doubt, Clear Channel hereby expressly agrees that the License Charge rate shall remain the same; but, that Arbitron is simply advancing the invoicing for the License Charges in accordance with the exercise of Clear Channel’s Invoice Right. If requested by Clear Channel to exercise its Invoice Right, it must provide Arbitron advance written ninety (90) day notice that it desires for the License Charges to be invoiced in accordance with this Section 13.
14. In the event that Arbitron replaces its RetailDirect qualitative service with its Scarborough service in markets that Clear Channel is a licensee of the RetailDirect qualitative service, Clear Channel shall have the right to cancel its RetailDirect license agreements for the affected market with at least sixty (60) days advance written notice to Arbitron prior to such implementation.
This right to cancel may only be exercised by Clear Channel if the replacement of its RetailDirect qualitative service with a Scarborough service in markets that Clear Channel is a licensee of the RetailDirect qualitative service, and such replacement results in an increase of Clear Channel’s License Charges. If the License Charges do not increase, then Clear Channel may not exercise this cancellation right under this Section 14.
15. In the event that Arbitron develops new radio measurement services that are available for commercial licensing in markets in which Clear Channel owns, operates, and/or manages radio stations that are currently licensed to Arbitron services, Clear Channel shall not be required to subscribe to such new radio measurement services in those markets. In addition, this right shall also be applicable to any Arbitron radio measurement services that are currently available in some radio markets as of the date of the execution of this Addendum, and later introduced into other radio markets in which they were not available as of the date of execution of this Addendum.
16. In the event that either Party discovers a clerical and/or typographical error in the calculation of any License Charge(s) in any of the attachments, Schedule 1, the Diary Agreement, and/or the Addendum, each Party hereby agrees to revise the affected License Charge(s) in accordance with the provisions of this Addendum, and in good faith.
17. Discounts. Arbitron and Clear Channel hereby agree that Arbitron’s Group Discount eligibility policy shall be applicable during the Term of this Agreement. Further, any modification of any applicable Clear Channel discount under this Agreement, shall not be considered a modification, redetermination, or the like, of Station’s Annual Gross Rate, License Charge, Rate, or the like, that enables Clear Channel and/or Clear Channel’s radio station(s), and/or Station to terminate the affected license agreement and/or particular market.
Clear Channel hereby expressly agrees that any termination and/or cancellation notice (or request that results in a reduction in Clear Channel’s service level) without Arbitron’s agreement to such under this Addendum and/or other license agreements with Arbitron may affect the various service level discounts that it is entitled to under the applicable Arbitron license

7


 

agreement, and that Arbitron has the sole discretion to adjust such discounts in accordance with the service level discount eligibility as a policy consequence thereof.
18. Arbitron hereby acknowledges that the radio stations set forth on Appendix B are actively being marketed by Clear Channel for sale as of the effective date of this Addendum, and have been placed in a trust (the “Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Stations”). If Clear Channel sells, transfers ownership in, or transfers any management interest in the Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Stations, then Arbitron hereby agrees to the following, provided however, that the new owner and/or management does not wholly assume the Arbitron license agreements associated with such Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Stations, and provided that neither Clear Channel nor any of its radio stations are in breach of the Diary Agreement and/or Addendum during the Term:
  a.   Clear Channel expressly agrees that it shall remain liable for the remainder of the current term year for all of the License Charges arising under any and all of the Arbitron license agreements for the applicable Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Station(s) from the effective closing date that the Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Station(s) was sold and/or transferred (whether as an ownership interest or management interest); or
 
  b.   Clear Channel expressly agrees that it shall remain liable for the following (6) six months of all the License Charges arising under any and all of the Arbitron license agreements for the applicable Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Station(s) from the effective closing date that the Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Station(s) was sold and/or transferred (whether as an ownership interest or management interest).
Clear Channel expressly agrees that it shall be liable for whichever amount is greater as calculated under either Sections 18(a) or 18(b) herein.
If such sale, transfer of ownership in, or transfer of management interest in the applicable Aloha Trust Marketed Radio Station(s) occurs during the final term year of the Diary Agreement (January 1, 2011 — December 31, 2011), and less than six months remain for the Term, then, Clear Channel hereby agrees that it shall be liable for the remainder of the final term year of License Charges applicable for the services.
19. County Coverage printed reports will be provided to all Clear Channel radio stations that are licensed to non-metro counties and that do not qualify for reporting in any Local Market Report. This applies to all radio stations owned and/or managed by Clear Channel at the date of execution of this Diary Agreement, plus the next twenty-five (25) radio stations meeting the aforementioned criteria that are purchased and/or managed by Clear Channel during the Term of the Arbitron License Agreement. An annual County Coverage fee of [*****] per radio station shall be charged for any Clear Channel radio stations beyond those additional twenty-five (25).
20. The use of an “*” (asterisk) in the Diary Agreement shall refer to the Schedule 1 Attachment, attached to the Diary Agreement and made a part thereof (the “Attachment”).

If Arbitron increases the license rates charged for one or more of the aforementioned reasons, it shall give prior written notice to Clear Channel. Clear Channel may, within a 30-day period following such notice, cancel the unexpired Term of the Agreement for only the Data and/or Reports and/or Services and Market for which Arbitron has increased its Rate pursuant to such notice (all other terms and conditions of the Agreement in the unaffected Markets shall remain in full force and effect), by written notice pursuant to Section 15(a), without cancellation charge or other cost, effective on the date the new Gross Annual Rate would have become effective. In the absence of such timely cancellation, this Agreement shall continue and the new Gross Annual Rate shall become payable as stated in Arbitron’s notice and thereafter.”
