WHEREAS, the Company desires and has requested the Trustee to join with it in the execution and delivery of this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture, and all requirements necessary to make this Twenty-First Supplemental Indenture a valid instrument, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and to make the Additional 2011 Notes, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, the valid obligations of the Company have been performed and fulfilled, and the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture and the Additional 2011 Notes have been in all respects duly authorized.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the purchase and acceptance of the Notes by the holders thereof, and for the purpose of setting forth, as provided in the Indenture, the form of the Notes and the terms, provisions and conditions thereof, the Company covenants and agrees with the Trustee as follows:

ARTICLE I

General Terms and Conditions of the Additional 2011 Notes

SECTION 1.01. (a) There shall be and is hereby authorized the issuance of the Additional 2011 Notes, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $250,000,000. The Additional 2011 Notes shall have the same terms, including without limitation, the same maturity date, interest rate, redemption and other provisions and interest payment dates as the Outstanding 2011 Notes, and will become part of the same series and will be designated by the same CUSIP number as the Outstanding 2011 Notes. Without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, Notes may be increased in the future, on the same terms and conditions and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes. The Notes shall mature and the

principal thereof shall be due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on March 15, 2011.

SECTION 1.02. The Notes shall be initially issued as Global Securities. Principal and interest on the Notes issued in certificated form will be payable, the transfer of such Notes will be registrable and such Notes will be exchangeable for Notes, bearing identical terms and provisions at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York provided for that purpose and transfers of the Notes will also be registrable at any of the Company’s other offices or agencies as the Company may maintain for that purpose; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall appear in the Security Register and that the payment of principal with respect to the Notes will only be made upon surrender of the applicable Notes to the Trustee.

SECTION 1.03. Each Note will bear interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum from March 21, 2006 until the principal thereof becomes due and payable, payable (subject to the provisions of Article II) semi-annually in arrears on September 15 and March 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”, commencing on September 15, 2006), to the person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment, which, except as set forth below, shall be September 1 or March 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date with respect to such interest installment. Any installment of interest not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder of Notes on such Regular Record Date and may be paid to the person in whose name such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof to be given to the registered holders of the Notes, as applicable, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay).

SECTION 1.04. The Notes are not entitled to any sinking fund.

SECTION 1.05. Section 101 of the Indenture is hereby amended, solely with respect to the Notes, by amending and restating the definition of “Principal Property” as follows: “Principal Property” means any radio broadcasting, television broadcasting or outdoor advertising property located in the United States owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary, unless, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, such properties are not in the aggregate of material importance to the total business conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries as an entirety.

ARTICLE II

Optional Redemption of the Notes

SECTION 2.01. The Notes will be redeemable as a whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon from the redemption date to March 15, 2011, discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points, plus, in either case, any interest accrued but not paid to the date of redemption. Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but no more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund provision.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the maturity date, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), or (ii) if such release referred to in clause (i) (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain the yields referred to above, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an “Independent Investment Banker” as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

“Independent Investment Banker” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes, Banc of America Securities LLC and its successors or, if such firm or any successor to such firm, as the case may be, is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Notes, (i) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for the redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations obtained.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means Banc of America Securities LLC and three other primary U.S. Government securities dealers in the United States (each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”) appointed by the Trustee in consultation with the Company. If any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR THE INDIVIDUAL SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY, THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.

Cede & Co.

or registered assigns, the principal sum of $[ ] at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, on March 15, 2011 in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, and to pay interest on said principal sum semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2006 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), at said office or agency, in like coin or currency, at the rate per annum specified in the title hereof, from March 15 and September 15, as the case may be, next preceding the date of this Note to which interest on the Notes has been paid or duly provided for (unless the date hereof is the date to which interest on the Notes has been paid or duly provided for, in which case from the date of this Note), or if no interest has been paid on the Notes or duly provided for, from March 21, 2006 until payment of said principal sum has been made or duly provided for.
