The Company agrees that such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be issued to the
Warrantholder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of
business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and
payment made for the Warrant Shares as aforesaid.
1.3 Limitations on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, this Warrant may be exercised only upon (i) the delivery to the Company
of any certificates, legal opinions, and other documents reasonably requested by
the Company to satisfy the Company that the proposed exercise of this Warrant
may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, (ii) receipt by
the Company of FCC approval of the proposed exercise, if such approval is
required (as determined by a written opinion of the Company's special FCC
counsel, delivered to the Warrantholder) to maintain any license granted to the
Company by the FCC, or to maintain the Company's eligibility for any FCC license
for which it has applied, or reasonably expects to apply, for, (iii) in the
event that the acquisition of the Warrant Shares is subject to the provisions of
the HSR Act, any person or entity required to file a notification and report in
compliance with the HSR Act shall have filed such form and the applicable
waiting period with respect to such form (including any extension thereof by
reason of a request for additional information) shall have expired or been
terminated, and (iv) receipt by the Company of approval of any other applicable
Governmental Authority of the proposed exercise. The Warrantholder shall not be
entitled to exercise this Warrant, or any part thereof, unless and until such

opinions and other documents, if required, shall be borne by the Warrantholder.

only be transferred by the Warrantholder with the prior written consent of the
Company; provided that the Warrantholder shall have the right to transfer this
Warrant to any wholly-owned subsidiary of the original Warrantholder. Except as
set forth above, any transfer of this Warrant without the prior written consent
of the Company shall be void and of no force and effect. Except as set forth
above, the Warrantholder expressly agrees not to sell, transfer, assign or
otherwise dispose of any of the Warrant Shares until the first anniversary of
the acquisition of such Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant without the
prior written consent of the Company.
(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section, this Warrant may be
divided into warrants of one thousand shares or multiples thereof, upon
surrender at the office of the Company located at 1221 Avenue of the Americas,
36th Floor, New York, New York 10020, without charge to any Warrantholder.
Subject to the provisions of this Section, upon such division, the Warrants may
be transferred of record as the then Warrantholder may specify without charge to
such Warrantholder (other than any applicable transfer taxes).

this Warrant to the Company with a duly executed Assignment Form and funds

named in such Assignment Form, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.
Prior to any proposed transfer (whether as the result of a division or
otherwise) of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall give written notice to the
Company of the Warrantholder's intention to effect such transfer. Each such
notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in
sufficient detail, and, if requested by the Company, shall be accompanied by a
written opinion of legal counsel, which opinion shall be addressed to the
Company and be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to
the effect that the proposed transfer of this Warrant may be effected without
registration under the Securities Act. In addition to the restrictions contained
in this Section, the Warrantholder shall not be entitled to transfer this
Warrant, or any part thereof, if such legal opinion is not reasonably acceptable
to the Company. The term "Warrant" as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to
include any Warrants issued in substitution or exchange for this Warrant.

permitted by this Section 2, each Warrant shall (and each Warrant issued upon
direct or indirect transfer or in substitution for any Warrant pursuant to
Section 1.6 or Section 4 shall) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend
in substantially the following form:
THIS WARRANT AND ANY SECURITIES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS
WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR SUCH
SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.
<PAGE>

Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 2, each stock certificate for
Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrant and each stock
certificate issued upon the direct or indirect transfer of any such Warrant
Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY
BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH
LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrantholder may require the
Company to issue a Warrant or a stock certificate for Warrant Shares, in each
case without a legend, if either (i) such Warrant or such Warrant Shares, as the
case may be, have been registered for resale under the Securities Act or (ii)
the Warrantholder has delivered to the Company an opinion of legal counsel,
which opinion shall be addressed to the Company and be reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that such registration is
not required with respect to such Warrant or such Warrant Shares, as the case
may be.
By acceptance of this Warrant, the Warrantholder expressly agrees that
it will at all times comply with the restrictions contained in Rule 144(e) under
the Securities Act (as in effect on the date hereof) when selling, transferring
or otherwise disposing Warrant Shares, even if such restrictions would not then
be applicable to the Warrantholder.
3. Reservation and Registration of Shares. The Company covenants and
agrees as follows:
(a) all Warrant Shares which are issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable, not subject to any preemptive rights, and free from all
taxes, liens, security interests, charges, and other encumbrances with
respect to the issue thereof, other than taxes with respect to any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue;
(b) during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised,
the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, and keep
available free from preemptive rights and any liens and encumbrances, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise
of the rights represented by this Warrant; and
(c) it will, from time to time, take all such action as may be
required to assure that the par value per share of the Warrant Shares
is at all times equal to or less than the then effective Exercise
Price.

4. Loss or Destruction of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of
the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of
loss, theft or destruction, of such bond or indemnification as the Company may
reasonably require, and, in the case of such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant
of like tenor.
5. Ownership of Warrant. The Company may deem and treat the Person in
whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof
(notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone
other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice
to the contrary, until presentation of this Warrant for registration of
transfer.
6. Certain Adjustments.
6.1 The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this
Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(a) Stock Dividends. If at any time after the date of the
issuance of this Warrant (i) the Company shall fix a record date for
the issuance of any stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock;
or (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock shall have been increased
by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, on the
record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive such dividend or immediately after the effective
date of such subdivision or split-up, as the case may be, the number of
shares to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased
so that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive the number of
shares of Common Stock that such Warrantholder would have owned
immediately following such action had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior thereto, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as
provided below in paragraph (g).
(b) Combination of Stock. If the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any time after the date of the issuance of this Warrant
shall have been decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, then, immediately after the effective date of such
combination, the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased so that the Warrantholder
thereafter shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common
Stock that such Warrantholder would have owned immediately following
such action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto,
and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided below in paragraph
(g).
(c) Reorganization. If any capital reorganization of the Company,
any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation of the
Company with or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, or
any sale or lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company to any other Person, shall be effected in such a
way that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive
stock, other
<PAGE>
8
securities or assets (whether such stock, other securities or
assets are issued or distributed by the Company or another Person) with
respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, upon exercise of this
Warrant, the Warrantholder shall have the right to receive the kind and
amount of stock, other securities or assets receivable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale, lease
or other transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
that such Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive upon
exercise of this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised immediately
before such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or
sale, lease or other transfer, subject to adjustments that shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for
in this Section 6. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation,
merger or sale, lease or other transfer, unless prior to, or
simultaneously with, the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if
other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or
such Person purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring such assets,
shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the
Warrantholder the shares of stock, securities or assets to which, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Warrantholder may be
entitled and all other obligations of the Company under this Warrant.
The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply to successive
reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales,
leasing transactions and other transfers.
(d) Distributions to all Holders of Common Stock. If the Company
shall, at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant, fix a
record date to distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any shares
of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences
of its indebtedness or assets (not including regular quarterly cash
dividends and distributions paid from retained earnings of the Company)
or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its
securities, then the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive, upon
exercise of this Warrant, that portion of such distribution to which it
would have been entitled had the Warrantholder exercised its Warrant
immediately prior to the date of such distribution. At the time it
fixes the record date for such distribution, the Company shall allocate
sufficient reserves to ensure the timely and full performance of the
provisions of this Subsection. The Company shall promptly (but in any
case no later than five Business Days prior to the record date of such
distribution) give notice to the Warrantholder that such distribution
will take place.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or
scrip shall be issued to any Warrantholder in connection with the
exercise of this Warrant. Instead of any fractional shares of Common
Stock that would otherwise be issuable to such Warrantholder, the
Company shall pay to such Warrantholder a cash adjustment in respect of
such fractional interest in an amount equal to that fractional interest
of the then current Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock.
(f) Carryover. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
6, no adjustment shall be made to the number of shares of Common Stock
to be delivered to the Warrantholder (or to the Exercise Price) if such
adjustment represents less than 1% of the number of shares to be so
delivered, but any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward
<PAGE>
9
and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent
adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward
shall amount to 1% or more of the number of shares to be so delivered.
(g) Exercise Price Adjustment. Whenever the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as
herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price
immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the
numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the
exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of
which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable
immediately thereafter.
6.2 Rights Offering. In the event the Company shall effect an offering
of Common Stock or preferred stock among its stockholders, the Warrantholder
shall be entitled to elect to participate in each and every such offering as if
this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to each such offering. The
Company shall promptly (but in any case no later than five Business Days prior
to such rights offering) give notice to the Warrantholder that such rights
offering will take place. The Company shall not be required to make any
adjustment pursuant to Section 6.1 with respect to the issuance of shares of
Common Stock or preferred stock pursuant to a rights offering in which the
holder hereof is offered the right to participate under the provisions of this
Section 6.2, assuming this Warrant was fully exercisable in accordance with
Section 1.1.
6.3 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or the
Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 6.1, the Company shall promptly
give to the Warrantholder notice of such adjustment or adjustments and a
certificate of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized national
standing (which shall be appointed at the Company's expense and may be the
independent public accountants regularly employed by the Company) setting forth
the number of Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares after
such adjustment, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, and
the computation by which such adjustment was made.
6.4 Notice of Extraordinary Corporate Events. In case the Company after
the date hereof shall propose to (i) distribute any dividend (whether stock or
cash or otherwise) to the holders of shares of Common Stock or to make any other
distribution to the holders of shares of Common Stock, (ii) offer to the holders
of shares of Common Stock rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional
shares of any class of stock or any other rights or options, or (iii) effect any
reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a reclassification involving
merely the subdivision or combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock),
any capital reorganization, any consolidation or merger (other than a merger in
which no distribution of securities or other property is to be made to holders
of shares of Common Stock), any sale or lease or transfer or other disposition
of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business, or the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then, in each such case,
the Company shall give to the Warrantholder notice of such proposed action,
which notice shall specify the date on which (a) the books of the Company shall
close, or (b) a record shall be taken for determining the holders
<PAGE>
10
of Common Stock entitled to receive such stock dividends or other distribution
or such rights or options, or (c) such reclassification, reorganization,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, other disposition, liquidation,
dissolution or winding up shall take place or commence, as the case may be, and
the date, if any, as of which it is expected that holders of record of Common
Stock shall be entitled to receive securities or other property deliverable upon
such action. Such notice shall be given in the case of any action covered by
clause (i) or (ii) above at least ten days prior to the record date for
determining holders of Common Stock for purposes of receiving such payment or
offer, or in the case of any action covered by clause (iii) above at least 30
days prior to the date upon which such action takes place and 20 days prior to
any record date to determine holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
securities or other property.
6.5 Effect of Failure to Notify. Failure to file any certificate or
notice or to give any notice, or any defect in any certificate or notice,
pursuant to Sections 6.3 and 6.4 shall not affect the legality or validity of
the adjustment to the Exercise Price, the number of shares purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant, or any transaction giving rise thereto.
7. Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making
available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at
any time permit the Holders to sell securities of the Company to the public
without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act; and

promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it
has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and
documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as
may be reasonably requested to permit the Holders to sell such
securities without registration.
8. Amendments. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended and the
observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance
and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent or
approval of the Company and the Holders who hold a majority in interest of the
Warrants; provided that it is not necessary that the exact form of the amendment
be approved by the holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants if such
holders have approved the substance of such amendment. Any amendment or waiver
effected in accordance with this Section 8 shall be binding upon each Holder and
the Company.
