Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Radio One's Amended and Restated By-Laws incorporate substantially the
provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL")
in providing for indemnification of directors and officers against expenses,
judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred
in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person
is or was an officer or director of Radio One. In addition, Radio One is
authorized to indemnify employees and agents of Radio One and may enter into
indemnification agreements with its directors and officers providing mandatory
indemnification to them to the maximum extent permissible under Delaware law.
Radio One's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that
Radio One shall indemnify (including indemnification for expenses incurred in
defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding) its directors and
officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by the DGCL, as it may be
amended, and that such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director or officer of Radio One and shall inure to the
benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators except that such right
shall not apply to proceedings initiated by such indemnified person unless it is
a successful proceeding to enforce indemnification or such proceeding was
authorized or consented to by the board of directors. Radio One's certificate of
incorporation also specifically provides for the elimination of the personal
liability of a director to the corporation and its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as director. The provision is limited to
monetary damages, applies only to a director's actions while acting within his
or her capacity as a director, and does not entitle Radio One to limit director
liability for any judgment resulting from (a) any breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to Radio One or its stockholders; (b) acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;
(c) paying an illegal dividend or approving an illegal stock repurchase; or (d)
any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides generally that a person sued (other than in
a derivative suit) as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation
may be indemnified by the corporation for reasonable expenses, including counsel
fees, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe that the person's conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative
suit, a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation may be
indemnified by the corporation for reasonable expenses, including attorneys'
fees, if the person has acted in good faith and in a manner the person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in the case of a
derivative suit in respect of any claim as to, which such director, officer,
II-1
<PAGE>
employee or agent has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless the
Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for proper expenses. Indemnification is mandatory under section 145 of the DGCL
in the case of a director or officer who is successful on the merits in defense
of a suit against him.
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Underwriters are obligated,
under certain circumstances, to indemnify Radio One, the directors, certain
officers and controlling persons of Radio One, Inc. against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. Reference is made to the form of
Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.
Radio One maintains directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit
of its directors and certain of its officers.

(9) Incorporated by reference to Radio One's Amendment No. 3 to its
Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed April 13, 1999 (File No. 333-74351;
Film No. 99593007).
(10) To be filed by Amendment to this Registration Statement on Form S-1.
Item 17. Undertakings.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to provisions described in Item 14 above, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer

or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424 (b) (1) or (4) or 497
(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at
the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
