Exhibit 10.1

Execution Copy

SHARED SECURITY AGREEMENT

SHARED SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of February 28, 2008, among WESTWOOD ONE, INC., a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (together with any successor, the “Borrower”); each of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower identified under the caption “SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS” on the signature pages hereto and any other Subsidiary of the Borrower that becomes a party hereto from time to time after the date hereof (individually, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with the Borrower, the “Obligors”); JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N. A., as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement referred to below (the “Administrative Agent”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York banking corporation, as collateral trustee (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Collateral Trustee”) for the Secured Parties.

The Borrower is party to (a) a Credit Agreement dated as of March 3, 2004 (as modified, supplemented or Refinanced from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Obligors, the lenders or other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent, and (b) a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 3, 2002 (as modified or supplemented from time to time, the “2002 Note Purchase Agreement”) among the Borrower and the purchasers parties thereto, pursuant to which the Borrower has issued Senior Guaranteed Notes, Series A, due November 30, 2009 and Senior Guaranteed Notes, Series B, due November 30, 2012 in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $200,000,000 as of the date hereof (the “2002 Notes” and, collectively with the 2002 Note Purchase Agreement, the Shared Security Documents and the 2002 Note Guaranty, the “2002 Notes Documents”).

Pursuant to the provisions of the 2002 Note Purchase Agreement, the Borrower may not, and may not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, secure the Credit Agreement Obligations with a Lien on any of its property without equally and ratably securing the 2002 Notes Obligations. In that connection, the Obligors, the Administrative Agent, the holders of the 2002 Notes (such holders from time to time being referred to as the “Noteholders”) and the Collateral Trustee have entered into an Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement (the “Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement”) pursuant to which the Obligors have requested the Collateral Trustee to act as collateral trustee, and the Collateral Trustee has agreed to act as such collateral trustee, to enable the Borrower to comply with the provisions of the 2002 Note Purchase Agreement.

It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement that the Obligors grant Liens on their property to secure the Credit Agreement Obligations.

Accordingly, to induce the Lenders to enter into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement and to equally and ratably secure the 2002 Notes Obligations and the Credit Agreement Obligations, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

(i) to the extent of all Investment Property or Financial Assets (other than cash) shall be a Securities Account in respect of which the Collateral Trustee shall be the Entitlement Holder, and

(ii) to the extent of any cash, shall be a Deposit Account in respect of which the Collateral Trustee is the customer (as contemplated by 9-104(a)(3) of the NYUCC),

in each case into which there shall be deposited from time to time the cash proceeds of any of the Collateral (including proceeds of insurance thereon) required to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant hereto and into which the Obligors may from time to time deposit any additional amounts that any of them wishes to pledge to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties as additional collateral security hereunder. The Shared Collateral Account, and any money or other property from time to time therein, shall constitute part of the Collateral hereunder and shall not constitute payment of the Secured Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided.

In connection with the foregoing, the Obligors agree to execute and deliver such control agreements with the Collateral Trustee and the banking institution at which such Shared Collateral Account is to be established to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Secured Parties to perfect the security interest therein created hereunder.

4.02 Proceeds. Each Obligor agrees that, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the proceeds of any Collateral hereunder shall be received by it, such Obligor shall as promptly as possible deposit such Proceeds into the Shared Collateral Account. Until so deposited, following any such request all such Proceeds shall be held in trust by such Obligor for and as the property of the Collateral Trustee and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of such Obligor.

4.03 Investment of Balance in Shared Collateral Account. The cash balance standing to the credit of the Shared Collateral Account shall be invested from time to time in such Permitted Investments as the Borrower (or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Trustee at the direction of the Requisite Secured Parties) shall determine, which Permitted Investments shall be held in the name and be under the control of the Collateral Trustee (and credited to the Shared Collateral Account), provided that at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Trustee shall (if instructed by the Requisite Secured Parties) at any time and from time to time liquidate any such Permitted Investments and apply or cause to be applied the proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner specified in Section 5.08.

(c) promptly from time to time enter into such control agreements, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Trustee, as may be required to perfect the security interest created hereby in any and all Deposit Accounts and Investment Property (including Securities Accounts but excluding trust accounts established by an Obligor solely for the benefit of employees or directors of such Obligor with respect to which the Borrower shall have notified the Collateral Trustee thereof) and Letter-of-Credit Rights, and will promptly furnish to the Collateral Trustee true copies thereof, provided that, with respect to any Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts held by any Obligor on the date hereof, such Obligor shall cause the Collateral Trustee to have “control” (as defined in Sections 9-104 and 9-106 of the NYUCC, as applicable) of any such Deposit Account and Securities Account within 45 days after the date hereof;

(f) the Collateral Trustee may apply the Shared Collateral Account and any money or other property therein to payment of the Secured Obligations;

(g) the Collateral Trustee, upon instruction from the Requisite Secured Parties, shall require the Obligors to cause the Pledged Shares to be transferred of record into the name of the Collateral Trustee or its nominee (and the Collateral Trustee agrees that if any of such Pledged Shares are transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, the Collateral Trustee will thereafter promptly give to the respective Obligor (through the Borrower) copies of any notices and communications received by it with respect to such Pledged Shares); and

(h) the Collateral Trustee, upon instruction from the Requisite Secured Parties, shall sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as the Collateral Trustee deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Collateral Trustee, any Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Obligors, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released. In the event of any sale, assignment or other disposition of any of the Trademark Collateral, the goodwill connected with and symbolized by the Trademark Collateral subject to such disposition shall be included. The Collateral Trustee may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.

The Proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 5.04 shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.08.

The Obligors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Trustee may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Obligors acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Trustee than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the respective Issuer or issuer thereof to register it for public sale.

Shared Security Agreement

5.05 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.04 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Obligors shall remain liable for any deficiency.

5.06 Locations; Names; Etc. Without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Trustee, no Obligor shall (i) change its “location” (as defined in Section 9-307 of the NYUCC), (ii) change its name from the name shown as its current legal name in Annex 1 or (iii) agree to or authorize any modification of the terms of any item of Collateral that would result in a change thereof from one Uniform Commercial Code category to another such category (such as from a General Intangible to Investment Property), if the effect thereof would be to result in a loss of perfection of, or diminution of priority for, the security interests created hereunder in such item of Collateral, or the loss of control (within the meaning of Section 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 or 9-107 of the NYUCC) over such item of Collateral.

5.07 Private Sale. None of the Secured Parties shall incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 5.04 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and otherwise in compliance with the NYUCC. Each Obligor hereby waives any claims against any Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Collateral Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

5.08 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Collateral Trustee under Section 4 or this Section 5, shall be applied by the Collateral Trustee in the manner set forth in the Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement.

5.09 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Trustee while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Collateral Trustee is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of each Obligor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 5 and taking any action and executing any instruments that are necessary or advisable or that the Collateral Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled under this Section 5 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Obligor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

5.10 Perfection at Closing. Prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Obligor shall (i) file such financing statements and other documents in such offices as the Administrative Agent or the Majority Noteholders may request to perfect the security interests granted by Section 3 and (ii) deliver to the Collateral Trustee all certificates identified in Annex 2, accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed in blank, and, to the extent required under Section 5.01(b), all promissory notes identified in Annex 2. Without limiting the foregoing, each Obligor consents that Uniform Commercial Code financing statements may be filed describing the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property and fixtures” of such Obligor (provided that no such description shall be deemed to modify the description of Collateral set forth in Section 3).

Shared Security Agreement

5.11 Termination. This Agreement and the security interests granted hereby shall cease to be effective when the Trust Estate has been released pursuant to Section 7.01(a) of the Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement.

5.12 Further Assurances. Each Obligor agrees that, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Trustee, such Obligor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as are necessary or as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 6. Miscellaneous.

6.01 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein (a) to the Obligors, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Trustee shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the intended recipient as specified in Section 8.03 of the Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement and shall be deemed to have been given at the times specified in said Section 8.03, (b) to the Credit Agreement Secured Parties, shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent as provided above and (c) to the Noteholders, shall be delivered as provided in the 2002 Note Purchase Agreement.

6.02 No Waiver. No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Secured Party of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

6.03 Amendments, Etc. The terms of this Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only as permitted by Section 8.02 of the Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement. Any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon the Secured Parties, each holder of any of the Secured Obligations and each Obligor.

6.04 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each Obligor, the Secured Parties and each holder of any of the Secured Obligations (provided that no Obligor shall assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Noteholders and any consents required by Section 8.02 of the Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement).

6.05 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

6.06 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

Shared Security Agreement

6.09 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

6.10 Additional Obligors. As contemplated in Section 6.08 of the Credit Agreement and Section 9.6 of the 2002 Note Purchase Agreement, a new Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower formed or acquired by the Borrower after the date hereof may become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” under the Credit Agreement and the 2002 Note Purchase Agreement and an “Obligor” under this Agreement and the Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, the Noteholders and the Collateral Trustee an Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit B to the Credit Agreement and a joinder agreement in the form of Annex 1 to the Subsidiary Guaranty (as such term is defined in the 2002 Note Purchase Agreement). Accordingly, upon the execution and delivery of any such Assumption Agreement and joinder agreement by any such Subsidiary, such new Subsidiary shall automatically and immediately, and without any further action on the part of any Person, become an “Obligor” for all purposes of this Agreement, and each of the Annexes hereto shall be supplemented in the manner specified in such Assumption Agreement and joinder agreement.

6.11 Incorporation by Reference. In acting hereunder, the Collateral Trustee is entitled to all rights, privileges, protections, immunities and indemnities provided to it under the Intercreditor and Collateral Trust Agreement including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 5.03, 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, 8.08, 8.10 and 8.14 thereof.
