ARTICLE V

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The provisions of this ARTICLE V shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation Entities and Corporation Officials as they may involve the Clear Channel Entities, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation Entities and Corporation Officials in connection therewith. Capitalized terms used and not previously defined in this Certificate of Incorporation are defined, and shall have the meaning ascribed thereto, in ARTICLE XI.

SECTION 2. No contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (or any amendment, modification or termination thereof) entered into between any Corporation Entity, on the one hand, and any Clear Channel Entity, on the other hand, before the Corporation ceased to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Channel shall be void or voidable or be considered unfair to the Corporation or any Corporation Affiliate for the reason that any Clear Channel Entity is a party thereto, or because any Clear Channel Official is a party thereto, or because any Clear Channel Official was present at or participated in any meeting of the Board of Directors, or committee thereof, of the Corporation, or the board of directors, or committee thereof, of any Corporation Affiliate, that authorized the contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (or any amendment, modification or termination thereof), or because his, her or their votes were counted for such purpose. No such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (or the amendment, modification or termination thereof) or the performance thereof by any Corporation Entity shall be considered to be contrary to any fiduciary duty owed to any of the Corporation Entities or to any of their respective stockholders by any Clear Channel Entity or by any Corporation Official (including any Corporation Official who may have been a Clear Channel Official) and each such Corporation Official shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation Entities, and shall be deemed not to have breached his or her duties of loyalty to the Corporation Entities and their respective stockholders, and not to have derived an improper personal benefit therefrom. No Corporation Official shall have

or be under any fiduciary duty to any Corporation Entity or its stockholders to refrain from acting on behalf of any such Corporation Entity (or on behalf of any Clear Channel Entity if such Corporation Official is also a Clear Channel Official) in respect of any such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (or the amendment, modification, or termination thereof) or to refrain from performing any such contract, agreement, arrangement or transaction (or the amendment, modification or termination thereof) in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 3. (1) If a Corporation Official who is also a Clear Channel Official is offered, or acquires knowledge, of a potential transaction or business opportunity that is or may be a corporate opportunity for any Corporation Entity, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and each Corporation Affiliate, to the fullest extent permitted by law except as provided in Section 3(3) of this ARTICLE V, renounces any interest or expectancy in such potential transaction or business opportunity and waives any claim that such potential transaction or business opportunity constituted a corporate opportunity that should have been presented to the Corporation or any such Corporation Affiliate.

(2) If a Corporation Official who is also a Clear Channel Official is offered, or acquires knowledge, of a potential transaction or business opportunity that is or may be a corporate opportunity for any Corporation Entity in any manner, such Corporation Official shall have no duty to communicate or present such potential transaction or business opportunity to the Corporation or any Corporation Affiliate and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, not be liable to any Corporation Entity, or its stockholders, for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Corporation Official including without limitation by reason of the fact that any one or more of the Clear Channel Entities pursues or acquires such potential transaction or business opportunity for itself, directs such potential transaction or business opportunity to another person or entity, or otherwise does not communicate information regarding such potential transaction or business opportunity to the Corporation or any Corporation Affiliate.

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, the Corporation does not renounce any interest or expectancy it may have in any corporate opportunity that is expressly offered to any Corporation Official in writing solely in his or her capacity as a Corporation Official.

SECTION 4. No amendment or repeal of this ARTICLE V shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any Clear Channel Entity or Corporate Official for or with respect to any corporate opportunity that such Clear Channel Entity or Corporate Official was offered, or of which such Clear Channel Entity or Corporate Official acquired knowledge prior to such amendment or repeal.

SECTION 5. In addition to, and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE V, a potential transaction or business opportunity (1) that the Corporation Entities are not financially able, contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or (2) that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Corporation Entities’ business, is of no practical advantage to any Corporation Entity or that is one in which no Corporation Entity has any interest or reasonable expectancy, shall not, in any such case, be deemed to constitute a corporate opportunity belonging to the Corporation, or any Corporate Affiliate, and the Corporation, on behalf of itself and each Corporation Affiliate, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby renounces any interest therein.

 

5


SECTION 6. Anything in this Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of Sections 3, 4 and 5 of this ARTICLE V shall automatically terminate, expire and have no further force and effect from and after the date on which no Corporation Official is also a Clear Channel Official.

ARTICLE VI

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 1. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed, and may be increased or decreased from time to time, exclusively by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board of Directors.

SECTION 2. Unless and except to the extent that the By-Laws of the Corporation shall so require, the election of directors of the Corporation need not be by written ballot.

SECTION 3. The directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock under specified circumstances, shall be apportioned, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible and designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I shall be initially elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2007, Class II shall be initially elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2008, and Class III shall be initially elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2009. Members of each class shall hold office until their successors are elected and qualified. At each succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. In case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock under specified circumstances, the number of directors added to or eliminated from each class shall be apportioned so that the number of directors in each class thereafter shall be as nearly equal as possible.

SECTION 4.

SECTION 5. Except as otherwise provided by a Certificate of Designations, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall be filled solely by the

 

6


affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by the sole remaining director. Any director so chosen shall hold office until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified and, if the Board of Directors at such time is classified, until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

ARTICLE VII

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock required by law, by this Certificate of Incorporation or by a Certificate of Designations, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total voting power of the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders of the Corporation to alter, amend or repeal any provision of the By-Laws, or to adopt any new By-Law; provided, however, that, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders of the Corporation to alter, amend or repeal, or adopt any By-Law inconsistent with, the following provisions of the By-Laws: Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.8, 2.9 and 2.11 of ARTICLE II; Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.9 and 3.11 of ARTICLE III; Section 6.9 of ARTICLE VI; and Section 8.1 of ARTICLE VIII, or in each case, any successor provision (including, without limitation, any such article or section as renumbered as a result of any amendment, alteration, change, repeal or adoption of any other By-Law).

ARTICLE IX

LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

SECTION 1. Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation, or its stockholders, for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as the same exists at the time of the alleged breach.

SECTION 2. Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or while a director or officer of the Corporation is or was serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties

 

8


arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right. The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of director and officers.

(b) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

(c) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

ARTICLE X

STOCKHOLDER ACTION

Except as otherwise provided by a Certificate of Designations, any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders may be effected only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by a written consent or consents by stockholders in lieu of such a meeting.
