PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
As used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless the context otherwise
requires, (i) "Capstar Broadcasting" refers to Capstar Broadcasting Corporation
and its subsidiaries, (ii) "Capstar Partners" refers to Capstar Broadcasting
Partners, Inc., a direct subsidiary of Capstar Broadcasting, (iii) "Capstar
Radio" refers to Capstar Radio Broadcasting Partners, Inc., a direct subsidiary
of Capstar Partners and (iv) "Capstar Communications" refers to Capstar
Communications, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of Capstar Radio.
GENERAL
Capstar Broadcasting is the largest radio broadcaster in the United States
operating primarily in mid-sized markets based on number of stations and based
on 1998 revenue. Since its first acquisition in October 1996, Capstar
Broadcasting has assembled a nationwide portfolio of 309 owned and operated
stations and 8 programmed stations in 76 markets. Upon completion of its pending
transactions, Capstar Broadcasting will own and operate or program 340 stations
in 81 markets located throughout the United States. This portfolio includes
clusters of four or more stations in 50 markets and comprises the leading
station group, in terms of revenue share and/or audience share, in 49 markets.
R. Steven Hicks, an executive with over 30 years of experience in the radio
broadcasting industry, and Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated, a
Dallas-based private equity firm ("Hicks Muse"), formed Capstar Broadcasting to
capitalize on the consolidation opportunities produced by the Telecommunications
Act of 1996. R. Steven Hicks and Hicks Muse recognized that the Telecom Act
created a unique opportunity to consolidate stations in mid-sized markets and,
accordingly, created a company that was designed specifically to address this
market opportunity. Because the Telecom Act enabled operators in mid-sized
markets for the first time to form clusters of four or more stations in
individual markets, R. Steven Hicks and Hicks Muse believed that Capstar
Broadcasting could achieve the economies of scale necessary to support an
investment in higher quality managers, programming and systems in these markets.
The creation of sizable operations has allowed Capstar Broadcasting to upgrade
its stations' programming, sales, promotions, engineering and administrative
operations to standards previously seen only in larger markets. Management
believes that this has positioned Capstar Broadcasting to generate revenue
growth in these markets in excess of historical growth rates, to increase its
audience and revenue shares within these markets and, by capitalizing on
economies of scale, to achieve increases in its broadcast cash flow growth rates
and margins.
Capstar Broadcasting's large national portfolio of 340 stations has created
significant revenue and cash flow growth opportunities previously unavailable to
mid-sized market operators. For example, Capstar Broadcasting is utilizing
innovative computer networking technology to distribute high quality programming
created in centralized locations to selected stations throughout the country,
while maintaining the local character of each broadcast. This has allowed
management to reduce staffing and programming costs while substantially
increasing the quality of programming. In addition, Capstar Broadcasting's
national audience of approximately 18 million listeners per week, one of the
largest national audiences among radio broadcasters, has created an opportunity
for national, network and regional advertisers to easily reach listeners in
mid-sized markets. Furthermore, management believes that Capstar Broadcasting's
well-developed infrastructure allows it to efficiently acquire and integrate
additional stations.
Because Capstar Broadcasting has assembled its portfolio of 340 stations in
81 markets over the past two and a half years, management considers over 20
markets to be underdeveloped with the potential for additional growth as Capstar
Broadcasting continues to capitalize on the opportunities created by industry
deregulation and the implementation of its acquisition strategy.
STATION PORTFOLIO
To effectively and efficiently manage its station portfolio, Capstar
Broadcasting has developed a flexible operating structure designed to manage a
large and growing number of radio stations throughout the United
3
<PAGE> 5
States. The station portfolio is operationally organized into six regions:
Atlantic Star (the Northeast Region), Southern Star (the Southeast Region),
Pacific Star (the West Region), GulfStar (the Southwest Region), Central Star
(the Midwest Region) and Sea Star (the Southeast Atlantic Region), each of which
is managed by regional executives in conjunction with general managers in each
market.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding Capstar
Broadcasting's station portfolio, assuming consummation of its pending
acquisitions and dispositions:

OPERATING STRATEGY
Capstar Broadcasting's primary goals are to achieve revenue growth rates at
its stations that are significantly in excess of historical growth rates
achieved in comparable markets and to increase its operating margins at these
stations at growth rates which exceed the average operating margin growth rates
being achieved in large markets. Key elements of its operating strategy are as
follows:
Enhance Revenue Growth through Multiple Station Ownership. The ownership of
multiple stations in a market allows Capstar Broadcasting to coordinate its
programming to appeal to a broad spectrum of listeners. Station clusters provide
one-stop shopping to advertisers attempting to reach a wide range of demographic
groups. Management believes that simplifying the buying of advertising time for
customers encourages increased advertiser usage, which enhances Capstar
Broadcasting's revenue generating potential. Management also believes that this
simplified buying process is particularly effective outside the largest markets
because advertisers in smaller markets typically perform more functions in the
buying process for themselves, as opposed to outsourcing these functions to
advertising firms or other vendors. By offering broad demographic coverage,
Capstar Broadcasting also competes more effectively against alternative media,
such as newspaper, television, and outdoor advertising, thus potentially
increasing radio's share of the total advertising dollars spent in a given
market.
Capstar Broadcasting believes that multiple station ownership allows it to
more effectively pursue national, network and regional advertisers, a source of
revenues which was previously limited in mid-sized markets. For example, Capstar
Broadcasting's participation in The AMFM Radio Networks, a national radio
network owned by Chancellor Media, illustrates Capstar Broadcasting's ability to
attract new sources of network revenues to its stations as a result of its large
audience reach.
Utilize Sophisticated Revenue Generating Techniques. Following the
acquisition of a station or station group, Capstar Broadcasting implements
sophisticated techniques such as advertising inventory management systems and
centralized sales training programs to allow such stations to serve their
advertising clients better and to compete more effectively with other media.
Historically, inventory management systems have been very labor intensive.
Capstar Broadcasting has designed and created a state-of-the-art advertising
inventory management system known as Galaxy(TM). The Galaxy(TM) system is
similar to the SABRE(TM) airline reservation system. It is an online,
demand-based, centralized purchasing system that will allow advertisers to
determine the availability of inventory, or available advertising time slots,
and the current advertising rates. The Galaxy(TM) system will simplify the
purchasing process, which is a very important factor in mid-sized markets where
very
7
<PAGE> 9
little advertising is outsourced to media buyers. The Galaxy(TM) system will
keep up-to-the-minute tallies on available inventory, or advertising time slots,
which will enable Capstar Broadcasting to maximize advertising rates. Capstar
Broadcasting began installation of the Galaxy(TM) system in March 1999 and is
scheduled to complete installation at substantially all of its stations by
December 1, 1999. Capstar Broadcasting is designing an enhancement to the
Galaxy(TM) system which, when completed, will integrate the advertising
inventory management systems of all of its stations, providing up-to-the-minute
information on available advertising time slots at all of Capstar Broadcasting's
stations and permitting advertisers, with a single phone call, to buy
advertising time from any combination of Capstar Broadcasting's stations and in
any market in which Capstar Broadcasting operates. Management believes that the
enhancement will be completed and implemented sometime during 2000.
Capstar Broadcasting has created Star Performance Group to improve the
business performance of Capstar Broadcasting's stations by improving human
performance. Star Performance Group creates and provides customized training and
development programs for Capstar Broadcasting's employees in the areas of sales,
marketing and management. Capstar Broadcasting also utilizes in-depth music
research studies to improve the quality of the programming and its
responsiveness to the local market. Management believes that many single station
or single market operators cannot justify the costs associated with utilizing
these management techniques.
Use Innovative Computer Technology to Enhance Programming. Capstar
Broadcasting is an industry leader in using computer network technology to
deliver high quality programming. Capstar Broadcasting's StarSystem(TM), a
company-owned programming distribution network, is designed to broadcast quality
programming from its two centralized locations in Austin, Texas and Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida to selected stations. With this system, a single radio
personality is able to introduce programming in multiple markets by digitally
transferring customized introductions for each local market and inserting them
into the playlist via a wide area computer network. StarSystem(TM) enables
Capstar Broadcasting to make high quality on-air talent available on a
cost-effective basis in markets that previously could not afford that level of
programming while still maintaining a station's local identity. Management
believes that in addition to the cost reductions associated with StarSystem(TM),
this system provides a competitive advantage by allowing management to implement
format changes quickly and to integrate newly acquired stations and clusters
more efficiently. As of March 1, 1999, Capstar Broadcasting has installed this
digital technology at 249 stations at a one time cost of approximately $43,000
per station, which has resulted in average cost reductions of approximately
$44,000 at each such station on an annualized basis. Capstar Broadcasting
intends to expand its StarSystem(TM) to the remaining stations by June 30, 1999,
and plans to develop additional regionalized programming centers during 1999 to
continue its expansion of StarSystem(TM).
Create Low Cost Operating Structure. Management believes that it has
created a low cost operating structure in mid-sized markets due to the following
reasons:
- Capstar Broadcasting is less reliant on expensive on-air celebrities and
costly advertising and promotional campaigns to capture listeners because
stations in mid-sized markets typically have less direct format
competition;
- the ownership of multiple stations within a market allows Capstar
Broadcasting to achieve substantial cost savings through the
consolidation of facilities, management, sales and administrative
personnel and operating resources (such as on-air talent, programming and
music research); and
- Capstar Broadcasting, as a result of its large station portfolio,
combined with the consolidated purchasing power of other companies
affiliated with Hicks Muse, has realized volume discounts in such areas
as national representation commissions, employee benefits, casualty
insurance premiums and other operating expenses.
Capitalize on Extensive Regional Management Experience. Each of Capstar
Broadcasting's regional presidents and chief executive officers has extensive
industry experience, having served as a senior executive and/or owner of, or
consultant to, one or more substantial station groups in mid-sized to large
markets. Capstar Broadcasting has capitalized on this experience by designing a
regional organizational structure to
8
<PAGE> 10
manage its station portfolio effectively and to accommodate future in-market or
station group acquisitions. Each regional operating executive reports directly
to Capstar Broadcasting's chief operating officer. Capstar Broadcasting believes
that each of its regional executives possesses considerable knowledge of its
region's other radio broadcasters and is, therefore, well situated to identify
strategic acquisition candidates.
ACQUISITION STRATEGY
Capstar Broadcasting has historically been the leading consolidator of
radio stations in mid-sized markets throughout the United States. Management has
achieved this position using an acquisition strategy that it believes allows
Capstar Broadcasting to develop radio station clusters at reasonable prices.
Capstar Broadcasting first seeks to enter attractive new mid-sized markets by
acquiring a leading station (or a group that owns a leading station). Capstar
Broadcasting then uses the initial acquisition as a platform to acquire
additional stations. Management believes that by leveraging its existing
infrastructure, knowledge of and relationships with advertisers and substantial
experience it can improve the operating performance and financial results of
acquired stations. From time to time, Capstar Broadcasting may acquire station
groups or companies with one or more stations in large or small markets.
Although Capstar Broadcasting's primary acquisition strategy is to acquire and
operate stations in mid-sized markets, Capstar Broadcasting may in the future
retain and operate such large or small market stations. Any acquisitions made by
Capstar Broadcasting may be for cash, debt, property or capital stock or stock
equivalents of Capstar Broadcasting or some combination thereof. From time to
time, management anticipates that it also may have opportunities to purchase
radio stations outside of the United States and may pursue such opportunities.
In addition, management from time to time also evaluates other acquisition
opportunities in media related businesses, particularly businesses with
significant after tax cash flow generating potential, that it believes would
complement Capstar Broadcasting's radio broadcasting business.

(1) Includes transaction costs.
(2) Excludes $812.4 million of debt and $283.6 million of preferred stock
outstanding on the date on which SFX was acquired.
(3) The stations were placed in the Capstar Trust in connection with the

multiple station ownership limitations under the Communications
10
<PAGE> 12
Act pending the disposition thereof by the trustee of the Capstar Trust. The
trustee will distribute the net proceeds from the sale of the stations to
Capstar Broadcasting if and when the stations are sold.
In April 1998, Capstar Broadcasting acquired the assets of Prophet Systems,
Inc. for a purchase price of $15.0 million in cash and 285,714 shares of Class A
Common Stock to be issued by Capstar Broadcasting upon satisfaction of certain
conditions. The acquired assets permit a single radio personality to introduce
programming in multiple markets by digitally transferring customized
introductions for each local market and inserting them into the playlist via a
wide area computer network. Such technology is utilized in Capstar
Broadcasting's StarSystem(TM) and is marketed to unrelated third parties.
On March 18, 1999, Capstar Broadcasting contributed to Muzak Holdings LLC
Capstar Broadcasting's Muzak affiliate territories in Atlanta, Albany and Macon,
Georgia and Ft. Myers, Florida in exchange for voting membership units in Muzak
Holdings. Capstar Broadcasting has agreed also to contribute to Muzak Holdings
the Muzak affiliate territory located in Omaha, Nebraska that Capstar
Broadcasting has an agreement to acquire from Triathlon Broadcasting Company in
exchange for additional voting membership units in Muzak Holdings. The value of
the membership units in Muzak Holdings that Capstar Broadcasting will hold after
the contribution of the Omaha, Nebraska affiliate territory is approximately
$20.5 million, subject to a working capital adjustment to be finalized upon the
contribution of the Omaha affiliate. The contribution of the Omaha affiliate is
expected to be consummated shortly after the consummation of the Triathlon
acquisition. Upon completion of the contribution of the Omaha affiliate, Capstar
Broadcasting will hold approximately 22.59% of the then outstanding voting power
of Muzak Holdings.
Pending Transactions
Capstar Broadcasting has also entered into the following:
- 6 agreements to acquire 39 additional stations, 28 FM and 11 AM stations,
in 10 mid-sized markets (including 2 stations in 2 mid-sized markets for
which Capstar Broadcasting currently provides services pursuant to LMAs)
for $228.0 million;
- 3 agreements to dispose of 7 stations, 2 FM and 5 AM stations, for $15.5
million;
- an agreement to contribute its Muzak affiliate territory in Omaha,
Nebraska to Muzak Holdings in exchange for additional voting membership
units in Muzak Holdings; and
- an agreement to acquire the software development business of LAN
International, Inc.
Upon completion of the pending transactions, Capstar Broadcasting will own
and operate 334 stations and program 6 stations in primarily mid-sized markets
located throughout the United States. Consummation of each of the pending
transactions is subject to numerous conditions, including governmental
approvals. Accordingly, the actual date of consummation of each of the pending
transactions may vary from the anticipated closing dates. No assurances can be
given that any or all of the pending transactions will be consummated or that,
if completed, they will be successful.

(1) Includes acquired or assumed indebtedness and excludes transaction costs.
(2) See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions -- Round Rock,

(3) Capstar Broadcasting has entered into an exchange agreement and an asset
purchase agreement with Citadel wherein, upon consummation of the Triathlon
acquisition, Capstar Broadcasting will exchange station KSPZ-FM (owned by
Triathlon) in Colorado Springs, Colorado for station KKLI-FM in Colorado
Springs, Colorado and sell stations KTWK-AM and KVOR-AM in Colorado Springs,
Colorado and stations KEYF-FM and KEYF-AM in Spokane, Washington (all of
which are owned by Triathlon). The total value of the transactions is
approximately $14.5 million.
(4) The acquisition of stations WFIR-AM and WPVR-FM from Jim Gibbons Radio, Inc.
will require for regulatory reasons the sale of one or more stations owned
by Capstar Broadcasting in the Roanoke, Virginia market. Capstar
Broadcasting has not yet determined whether to sell such stations.
Triathlon Acquisition. On July 23, 1998, Capstar Radio and Triathlon
Broadcasting Company entered into an agreement to merge Triathlon with a
subsidiary of Capstar Radio in a cash-for-stock transaction. Under the merger
agreement:
- a subsidiary of Capstar Radio will merge into Triathlon and Triathlon
will survive the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstar Radio;
- the common and preferred stockholders of Triathlon will receive an
aggregate of approximately $130.0 million in cash in exchange for their
shares of Triathlon capital stock; and
- Triathlon will have outstanding approximately $60.0 million of long-term
indebtedness.
The completion of the merger depends upon the satisfaction of a number of
conditions, including the following:
- the approval and adoption of the merger agreement by the Triathlon
stockholders, which approval has been obtained;
- the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended;
12
<PAGE> 14
- the receipt of regulatory approval from the FCC;
- the sale of station KNSS-AM (owned by Capstar Broadcasting) and stations
KFH-AM, KEYN-FM, KQAM-AM and KWSJ-FM (owned by Triathlon) in the Wichita,
Kansas market;
- the sale of station KSPZ-FM (owned by Triathlon) in the Colorado Springs,
Colorado market; and
- other customary conditions.
Capstar Broadcasting has entered into a contract to sell station KSPZ-FM to
Citadel Broadcasting Company concurrently with the consummation of the Triathlon
acquisition. Capstar Broadcasting is actively seeking a purchaser for the
Wichita, Kansas stations, but has not yet entered into a contract to sell the
Wichita, Kansas stations. There can be no assurance that any or all of the
conditions to the merger will be satisfied. Other than the sales of stations in
the Colorado Springs and Wichita markets, either company may waive compliance
with the conditions at its discretion if permitted by law. Capstar Broadcasting
believes that if all conditions to the merger are satisfied or waived, the
merger will be consummated in April 1999. If the merger is not completed by
April 30, 1999, subject to certain exceptions, the merger consideration to be
paid to the Triathlon stockholders will increase by approximately $1.3 million
every two weeks that lapse after April 30, 1999 until the merger is completed.
Triathlon owns and operates, sells advertising on behalf of or provides
programming to 22 FM and 10 AM radio stations in six markets. Triathlon also
owns a regional sports radio network that broadcasts athletic events of the
University of Nebraska and operates a Muzak affiliated territory located in
Omaha, Nebraska.
The description of the merger agreement above is not complete. You should
read a copy of the merger agreement incorporated herein by reference as an
exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
LAN Acquisition. In December 1998, an affiliate of Capstar Broadcasting
agreed to purchase the assets of LAN International, Inc.'s business of
developing, marketing, selling, licensing and servicing specialized computer
systems and software for use in the radio and television industry. The purchase
price of the acquisition is up to $27.0 million, of which $15.0 million will be
due at the closing of the transaction. The remaining $12.0 million will be due
to LAN International if the business meets certain post-closing financial goals.
Capstar Broadcasting expects to complete the acquisition in May 1999.
Chancellor Merger
On August 26, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media entered into
an agreement to merge in a stock-for-stock transaction that will create the
nation's largest radio broadcasting entity. Under the merger agreement:
- Chancellor Media will acquire Capstar Broadcasting in a reverse merger in
which Capstar Broadcasting will be renamed Chancellor Media Corporation;
- each share of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock will
represent 0.4955 shares of voting common stock in the combined entity;
- each share of Class B Common Stock will represent 0.4955 shares of
nonvoting common stock of the combined entity;
- each share of Chancellor Media common stock will represent one share of
the combined entity; and
- each share of Chancellor Media preferred stock will represent one share
of preferred stock of the combined entity.
13
<PAGE> 15
The completion of the merger depends upon the satisfaction of a number of
conditions, including the following:
- stockholder approval of both Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media;
- the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which
waiting period has terminated;
- the receipt of regulatory approval from the FCC, which regulatory
approval has been received;
- the consent of the lenders under the Capstar Broadcasting credit facility
and Chancellor Media's credit facility; and
- other customary conditions.
There can be no assurance that all of the conditions to the merger will be
satisfied. Either company may waive compliance with the conditions at its
discretion if permitted by law.
Thomas O. Hicks, R. Steven Hicks and Capstar Broadcasting Partners, L.P.,
an affiliate of Hicks Muse (collectively, the "Stockholders"), entered into a
voting agreement, on August 26, 1998, under which each Stockholder has agreed,
among other things, to vote the number of shares of Common Stock held by or
controlled by him or it with respect to approval of the merger and the merger
agreement.
Chancellor Media is a diversified multi-media company that:
- owns and/or operates a radio station portfolio, as of March 1, 1999,
consisting of 125 radio stations in 23 of the largest U.S. markets and
Puerto Rico, 112 stations of which were then owned and 13 stations of
which were then operated under time brokerage agreements which allow
Chancellor Media to program another person's stations and sell the
advertising. Eleven of the 13 stations operated under time brokerage
agreements are owned by Capstar Broadcasting. See "Item 13. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions -- Chancellor Exchange Agreement";
- operates a national radio network, The AMFM Radio Networks;
- provides national media sales representation through Katz Media
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary; and
- has a significant outdoor advertising presence.
On January 20, 1999, Chancellor Media announced that its board of directors
engaged the investment banking firm of BT Alex. Brown Incorporated as financial
advisor for the purpose of assisting management and the board of directors of
Chancellor Media in developing, reviewing and structuring a range of strategic
alternatives intended to maximize Chancellor Media's stockholder value. On
February 11, 1999, Chancellor Media announced that it added additional advisors
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Hicks Muse, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Greenhill & Co.,
LLC and Chase Securities Inc. to assist it in exploring these alternatives,
which included the potential sale, merger or consolidation of the entire company
or some of its operating assets. On March 15, 1999, Chancellor Media announced
that it had completed the review of strategic alternatives and announced a
series of steps that it anticipates will better position Chancellor Media
strategically, operationally and financially, including the following:
- a determination not to pursue the sale, merger or consolidation of
Chancellor Media at such time; and
- the addition of a new senior management team, which now includes R. Steve
Hicks as vice chairman of the board and president and chief executive
officer of Chancellor Media's newly created Chancellor Media Services
Group, D. Geoffrey Armstrong as executive vice president and chief
financial officer, and William S. Banowsky, Jr. as executive vice
president and general counsel.
In light of Chancellor Media's announcements, it is possible that the terms
and/or structure of the merger may change, including reversing the structure of
the merger such that Capstar Broadcasting would
14
<PAGE> 16
merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chancellor Media, or the merger may not
be completed at all. If the terms and structure of the merger remain unchanged
and all conditions to the merger are satisfied or waived, Capstar Broadcasting
believes that the merger will be consummated during the second or early third
quarter of 1999.
The description of the merger agreement and the voting agreement above is
not complete. You should read a copy of the merger agreement and the voting
agreement incorporated herein by reference as an exhibit to this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.

Broadcasting is continually evaluating other potential acquisition
opportunities. Capstar Broadcasting from time to time enters into nonbinding

subject to various conditions, including the ability of Capstar Broadcasting to
enter into a definitive agreement. See " -- Risks Associated with Business

COMPETITION; CHANGES IN BROADCASTING INDUSTRY
The radio broadcasting industry is highly competitive. The success of each
of Capstar Broadcasting's stations depends largely upon its audience ratings and
its share of the overall advertising revenue within its market. Capstar
Broadcasting's stations compete for listeners and advertising revenue directly
with other stations as well as with advertising and other media within their
respective markets. Radio stations compete for listeners primarily on the basis
of program content that appeals to a particular demographic group. By building a
strong listener base consisting of a specific demographic group in each of its
markets, Capstar
28
<PAGE> 30
Broadcasting is able to attract advertisers seeking to reach those listeners. In
addition to competition for market share, Capstar Broadcasting competes for
acquisition opportunities with other radio broadcasting companies, including
Jacor Broadcasting Corp., Clear Channel Communications, Inc. and CBS Inc.
Factors that are material to a radio station's competitive position include
management experience, the station's local audience rank in its market,
transmitter power, assigned frequency, audience characteristics, local program
acceptance and the number and characteristics of other radio stations and other
advertising media in the market area. Capstar Broadcasting attempts to improve
its competitive position with promotional campaigns aimed at the demographic
groups targeted by its stations and by sales efforts designed to attract
advertisers.
Capstar Broadcasting's stations also compete for audiences and advertising
revenues within their respective markets directly with other radio stations, as
well as with other media such as newspapers, magazines, cable television,
outdoor advertising and direct mail. In addition, the radio broadcasting
industry is subject to competition from new media technologies that are being
developed or introduced, such as the delivery of audio programming by cable
television systems, by satellite, by the internet, and by digital audio
broadcast ("DAB"). DAB may deliver by satellite to nationwide and regional
audiences, multi-channel, multi-format, digital radio services with sound
quality equivalent to compact discs. The radio broadcasting industry
historically has grown despite the introduction of new technologies for the
delivery of entertainment and information, such as television broadcasting,
cable television, audiotapes and compact discs. A growing population and greater
availability of radios, particularly car and portable radios, have contributed
to this growth. There can be no assurance, however, that the development or
introduction in the future of any new media technology will not have an adverse
effect on the radio broadcasting industry.
The FCC has allocated spectrum for a new technology, digital audio radio
services ("DARS"), to deliver audio programming. The FCC has adopted licensing
and operating rules for DARS and in April 1997 awarded two licenses for this
service. DARS may provide a medium for the delivery by satellite or terrestrial
means of multiple new audio programming formats to local and/or national
audiences. Digital technology also may be used in the future by terrestrial
radio broadcast stations either on existing or alternate broadcasting
frequencies, and the FCC has stated that it will consider making changes to its
rules to permit AM and FM radio stations to offer digital sound following
industry analysis of technical standards. In addition, the FCC has authorized an
additional 100 kHz of bandwidth for the AM band and has allotted frequencies in
this new band to certain existing AM station licensees that applied for
migration to the expanded AM band prior to the FCC's cut-off date, subject to
the requirement that such licensees apply to the FCC to implement operations on
their expanded band frequencies. At the end of a transition period, those
licensees will be required to return to the FCC either the license for their
existing AM band station or the license for the expanded AM band station.
Capstar Broadcasting employs a number of on-air personalities and generally
enters into employment agreements with certain of these personalities to protect
its interests in those relationships that it believes to be valuable. The loss
of certain of these personalities could result in a short-term loss of audience
share, but Capstar Broadcasting does not believe that any such loss would have a
material adverse effect on Capstar Broadcasting.
FEDERAL REGULATION OF RADIO BROADCASTING
The ownership, operation and sale of radio stations are subject to
extensive regulation by the FCC, which acts under authority granted by the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Following is a brief summary of certain
provisions of the Communications Act and of specific FCC regulations and
policies.
FCC Licenses. Radio stations operate pursuant to broadcasting licenses that
are ordinarily granted by the FCC for maximum terms of eight years and are
subject to renewal upon application to the FCC. The FCC is
29
<PAGE> 31
required to hold hearings on a station's renewal application if a substantial or
material question of fact exists as to whether:
- the station has served the public interest, convenience and necessity;
- the licensee has committed serious violations of the Communications Act
or the FCC rules; or
- the licensee has committed other violations that, taken together,
constitute a pattern of abuse.
The vast majority of FCC broadcast licenses are routinely renewed, and Capstar
Broadcasting has no reason to believe that its licenses will not be renewed at
their expiration dates. The non-renewal of one or more licenses could have a
material adverse effect on the business of Capstar Broadcasting. Moreover, the
laws, policies and regulations of the FCC may change significantly over time and
there can be no assurance that those changes will not have a negative effect on
Capstar Broadcasting's business.
Ownership Matters. The Communications Act prohibits the assignment of a
broadcast license or the transfer of control of a broadcast licensee without the
prior approval of the FCC. In determining whether to grant such approval, the
FCC considers a number of factors pertaining to the proposed licensee, including
compliance with the rules limiting common ownership of media properties, the
"character" of the proposed licensee and those persons holding "attributable"
interests therein, compliance with statutory limitations on foreign ownership,
and compliance with other FCC policies.
The Communications Act and the FCC rules impose specific limits on the
number of commercial radio stations Capstar Broadcasting can own in a single
market. These rules preclude Capstar Broadcasting from acquiring certain
stations that it might otherwise seek to acquire. The rules also effectively
prevent Capstar Broadcasting from selling stations in a market to a buyer that
has reached its ownership limit in the market. The ownership rules are as
follows:
- in markets with 45 or more commercial radio stations, ownership is
limited to eight stations, no more than five of which can be either AM or
FM;
- in markets with 30 to 44 commercial radio stations, ownership is limited
to seven stations, no more than four of which can be either AM or FM;
- in markets with 15 to 29 commercial radio stations, ownership is limited
to six stations, no more than four of which can be either AM or FM; and
- in markets with 14 or fewer commercial radio stations, ownership is
limited to five stations or no more than 50% of the market's total,
whichever is lower, and no more than three of which can be either AM or
FM.
Under the FCC's ownership attribution rules, interests held by Capstar
Broadcasting's officers, directors and certain voting stockholders in broadcast
stations not owned by Capstar Broadcasting must be counted as if they were owned
by Capstar Broadcasting for purposes of applying the FCC's multiple ownership
rules. Three of Capstar Broadcasting's directors (Thomas O. Hicks, Lawrence D.
Stuart, Jr., and Michael J. Levitt) are directors of Chancellor Media and Thomas
O. Hicks is the principal stockholder and exercises de facto control over
Chancellor Media, which owns and operates or programs 125 radio stations in 23
markets and Puerto Rico. Because Chancellor Media and Capstar Broadcasting have
directors and a common attributable stockholder, in markets where both companies
own radio stations (e.g., Dallas, Texas) those stations are currently deemed to
be commonly owned for purposes of applying the local radio ownership limits.
Similarly, because Capstar Broadcasting and LIN Television Corporation, a
television company controlled by Hicks Muse, have a common attributable
stockholder (Thomas O. Hicks) and common directors (Messrs. Hicks and Levitt),
and because Capstar Broadcasting operates radio stations in certain markets
where LIN operates television stations, those operations require an FCC waiver
of the rule that normally prohibits the same owner from owning a television
station and a radio station in the same market (the "one-to-a-market" rule). To
date, all required one-to-a-market waivers in regard to LIN and Capstar
Broadcasting overlaps have been obtained. The FCC is considering changes to its
one-to-a-market rule and waiver policy
30
<PAGE> 32
and to its ownership attribution rules. It is possible, but not at all certain,
that revised regulations could require Capstar Broadcasting to divest interests
in some stations in order to comply with a more restrictive limit on
radio-television cross-ownership in the same market. In general, there can be no
assurance that the FCC's existing rules or any newly adopted rules will not have
a negative effect on Capstar Broadcasting's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Finally, the FCC has recently issued public notices suggesting that it may
have concerns about radio station acquisitions that would give the acquiring
party an excessive share of the radio advertising revenues in a given market or
would otherwise result in excessive concentration of ownership. It is not clear
how the FCC will proceed in this area or how any policy it may adopt will
interact with the review of similar issues by the U.S. Department of Justice
("the DOJ") and the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC").
Local Marketing Agreements. Capstar Broadcasting has previously entered
into what have commonly been referred to as local marketing agreements or LMAs.
Under a typical LMA, separately owned and licensed radio stations agree to
function cooperatively in programming, advertising sales and similar matters,
subject to the requirement that the licensee of each station maintain
independent control over the programming and operations of its own station. The
FCC's multiple ownership rules specifically permit radio station LMAs, but
provide that a licensee or a radio station that provides the programming for
more than 15% of the weekly broadcast time on another station in the same market
will be considered to have an attributable ownership interest in that station
for purposes of the FCC's multiple ownership rules.
Joint Sales Agreements. Capstar Broadcasting has previously entered into
cooperative arrangements commonly known as joint sales agreements or JSAs. Under
the typical JSA, a station licensee obtains for a fee the right to sell
substantially all of the commercial advertising on a separately-owned and
licensed station in the same market. The typical JSA also customarily involves
the provision by the selling licensee of certain sales, accounting and "back
office" services to the station whose advertising is being sold. Unlike an LMA,
a JSA normally does not involve programming.
The FCC has determined that issues of joint advertising sales should be
left to enforcement by antitrust authorities, and therefore, does not generally
regulate joint sales practices between stations. Stations for which a licensee
sells time under a JSA are not deemed by the FCC to be attributable interests of
that licensee. However, in a pending rulemaking proceeding, the FCC is
considering whether to change that policy and make JSAs attributable ownership
interests, particularly when JSAs contain provisions for the supply of
programming services and/or other elements typically associated with LMAs. If
JSAs become attributable interests as a result of changes in the FCC rules,
Capstar Broadcasting may be required to terminate JSAs Capstar Broadcasting has
with a radio station which Capstar Broadcasting could not own under the FCC's
multiple ownership rules.
Programming and Operation. The Communications Act requires Capstar
Broadcasting to serve the "public interest." Capstar Broadcasting is required to
present programming that is responsive to issues relevant to a station's
community and to maintain certain records demonstrating such responsiveness.
Complaints from listeners concerning a station's programming often will be
considered by the FCC when it evaluates renewal applications of a licensee,
although listener complaints may be filed at any time and generally may be
considered by the FCC at any time. Capstar Broadcasting must pay regulatory and
application fees and follow various rules promulgated under the Communications
Act that regulate, among other things, political advertising, sponsorship
identifications, the advertisement of contests and lotteries, obscene and
indecent broadcasts, and technical operations, including limits on human
exposure to radio frequency radiation. Failure to observe these or other rules
and policies can result in the imposition of various sanctions, including
monetary forfeitures, the grant of "short term" (less than the full term)
license renewal or, for particularly egregious violations, the denial of a
license renewal application or the revocation of a license.
Federal Antitrust Laws. In addition to the risks associated with the
acquisition of radio stations, Capstar Broadcasting is also aware of the
possibility that certain acquisitions it proposes to make may be investigated by
the FTC or the DOJ, which are the agencies responsible for enforcing the federal
antitrust laws. The agencies have recently investigated several radio station
acquisitions where an operator proposed to acquire new stations in its existing
markets, including Capstar Broadcasting's proposed acquisition of Triathlon
31
<PAGE> 33
Broadcasting Company. Capstar Broadcasting cannot predict the outcome of any
specific DOJ or FTC investigation. Any decision by the FTC or the DOJ to
challenge a proposed acquisition could affect the ability of Capstar
Broadcasting to consummate the acquisition or to consummate it on the proposed
terms.
For an acquisition meeting certain size thresholds, the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), and the rules
promulgated thereunder require the parties to file Notification and Report Forms
with the FTC and the DOJ and to observe specified waiting period requirements
before consummating the acquisition. During the initial 30-day period after the
filing, the agencies decide which of them will investigate the transaction. The
DOJ has been the agency involved in all of Capstar Broadcasting's transactions.
If the investigating agency determines that the transaction does not raise
significant antitrust issues, then it will either terminate the waiting period
or allow it to expire after the initial 30 days. On the other hand, if the
agency determines that the transaction requires a more detailed investigation,
then at the conclusion of the initial 30-day period, it will issue a formal
request for additional information ("Second Request"). The issuance of a Second
Request extends the waiting period until the twentieth calendar day after the
date of substantial compliance by all parties to the acquisition. Thereafter,
such waiting period may only be extended by court order or with the consent of
the parties. In practice, complying with a Second Request can take a significant
amount of time. In addition, if the investigating agency raises substantive
issues in connection with a proposed transaction, then the parties frequently
engage in lengthy discussions or negotiations with the investigating agency
concerning possible means of addressing those issues. Such discussions and
negotiations can be time-consuming, and the parties may agree to delay
consummation of the acquisition during their pendency.
At any time before or after the consummation of a proposed acquisition, the
FTC or the DOJ could take such action under the antitrust laws as it deems
necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the
acquisition or seeking divestiture of the business acquired or other assets of
Capstar Broadcasting. Acquisitions that are not required to be reported under
the HSR Act may still be investigated by the FTC or the DOJ under the antitrust
laws before or after consummation. In addition, private parties and states may
under certain circumstances bring legal action to challenge an acquisition under
the antitrust laws.
Capstar Broadcasting is subject to the following consent decrees and letter
agreements with the DOJ:
- as a result of the acquisition of GulfStar Communications, Inc. in 1997,
Capstar Broadcasting is subject to a letter agreement which requires
Capstar Broadcasting to notify the DOJ at least 30 days prior to the
consummation of an acquisition in the northwest Arkansas area until March
4, 2007;
- as a result of the acquisition of KRNA-FM in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Capstar
Broadcasting is subject to a letter agreement with the DOJ which
requires, until June 1, 2008, Capstar Broadcasting to notify the DOJ at
least 30 days prior to the consummation of an acquisition of a radio
station license to Johnson or Linn counties in Iowa;
- Capstar Communications has entered into a consent decree with the DOJ and
Chancellor Media with respect to the Long Island, New York market under
which Capstar Communications has agreed not to acquire WALK-FM;
- in connection with the acquisition of SFX Broadcasting, Inc. in 1998,
Capstar Broadcasting and Capstar Communications executed a consent decree
with the DOJ that, among other things, requires Capstar Broadcasting to
give the DOJ notice of any acquisition in the Long Island, New York;
Houston, Texas; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Greenville, South Carolina; and
Jackson, Mississippi markets at least 30 days prior to the consummation
thereof for a period of up to ten years unless Capstar Broadcasting or
Chancellor Media do not own stations in these areas at the time of the
proposed acquisitions; and
- as a result of the pending acquisition of Triathlon Broadcasting Company,
Capstar Broadcasting has agreed in a letter agreement with the DOJ that,
concurrently with the consummation of the Triathlon acquisition, Capstar
Broadcasting will sell station KNSS-AM (owned by Capstar Broadcasting)
and stations KEYN-FM, KWSJ-FM, KFH-AM and KQAM-AM (owned by Triathlon).
32
<PAGE> 34
As part of its increased scrutiny of radio station acquisitions, the DOJ
has stated publicly that it believes that LMAs, JSAs and other similar
agreements customarily entered into in connection with radio station transfers,
if such agreements take effect prior to the expiration of the waiting period
under the HSR Act, could violate the HSR Act. Furthermore, the DOJ has noted
that JSAs may raise antitrust concerns under Section 1 of the Sherman Act and
has challenged JSAs in certain locations. To date, none of Capstar
Broadcasting's JSAs has been challenged. However, in connection with Capstar
Broadcasting's agreement to acquire Triathlon Broadcasting Company, Capstar
Broadcasting is aware of an on-going antitrust investigation by the DOJ into
JSAs in Spokane, Washington and Colorado Springs, Colorado between Triathlon and
Citadel Broadcasting Company. Capstar Broadcasting and Citadel have entered into
an agreement involving a swap and sale of radio stations that they believe
resolves most of the DOJ's concerns. However, neither Citadel, Triathlon nor
Capstar Broadcasting have entered into any consent decree or other agreement
with the DOJ that would completely resolve the issues. If Citadel and Capstar
Broadcasting are unable to finalize the terms of a consent decree with the DOJ,
the DOJ may initiate a lawsuit against Citadel and Triathlon or take other
action relating to the JSAs. If a lawsuit is initiated against Triathlon before
the acquisition of Triathlon by Capstar Broadcasting, the lawsuit may still be
ongoing when Capstar Broadcasting acquires Triathlon.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting had a staff of approximately
3,700 full-time employees and approximately 1,400 part-time employees. There are
no collective bargaining agreements between Capstar Broadcasting and its
employees. Capstar Broadcasting believes that its relations with its employees
are good.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
Potential Negative Consequences of Substantial Indebtedness
As of December 31, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting had outstanding, on a
consolidated basis, long-term indebtedness (including current portions) of $1.8
billion, an accumulated deficit of $151.9 million, and stockholders' equity of
approximately $1.3 billion.
The level of Capstar Broadcasting's indebtedness could have several
negative consequences to the holders of Common Stock, including, but not limited
to, the following:
- much of Capstar Broadcasting's cash flow will be dedicated to debt
service and will not be available for other purposes;
- borrowings under Capstar Broadcasting's credit facility are, and future
indebtedness of Capstar Broadcasting may be, subject to variable rates of
interest, which expose Capstar Broadcasting to the risk of increased
interest rates;
- the high level of indebtedness limits Capstar Broadcasting's flexibility
to deal with changing economic, business and competitive conditions; and
- Capstar Broadcasting's ability to obtain financing in the future may be
limited.
The failure to comply with the covenants in the agreements governing the terms
of Capstar Broadcasting's indebtedness could be an event of default and could
accelerate the payment obligations and, in some cases, could affect other
obligations with cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions.
Capstar Broadcasting's ability to satisfy its debt service obligations will
depend upon its future financial and operating performance. If Capstar
Broadcasting cannot satisfy its debt service obligations, it may be forced to
find alternative sources of funds by selling assets, restructuring, refinancing
debt, or seeking additional equity capital. There can be no assurance that any
of these alternative sources would be available on satisfactory terms or at all.
33
<PAGE> 35
Restrictions Imposed on Capstar Broadcasting by Terms of Indebtedness
The senior loan agreements, the various indentures governing the debt
instruments of Capstar Broadcasting, and the certificates of designation
governing the preferred stock of Capstar Broadcasting contain covenants that
restrict Capstar Broadcasting's ability to:
- incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock, incur liens, pay
dividends or make other payments;
- sell assets;
- enter into transactions with affiliates; or
- merge or consolidate with any other person.
Capstar Broadcasting's senior loan agreements also require Capstar Broadcasting
to maintain specified leverage ratios and interest coverage ratios. Capstar
Broadcasting's ability to meet those financial ratios can be affected by events
beyond its control, and there can be no assurance that it will meet those tests.
A breach of any of these covenants or failure to meet these financial ratios
tests could result in a default under one or more of the senior loan agreements
and the indentures which would allow the lenders to declare all amounts
outstanding immediately due and payable. In the case of Capstar Broadcasting's
senior loan agreements, if Capstar Broadcasting were unable to repay those
amounts, the lenders thereunder could proceed against the collateral granted to
them to secure the indebtedness. If the amounts outstanding under the senior
loan agreements were accelerated, there can be no assurance that Capstar
Broadcasting's assets would be sufficient to repay the amount in full.
Fixed Charges Negatively Impact Results of Operations
Capstar Broadcasting has experienced net losses as a result of significant
interest and amortization charges relating to acquisitions since its
organization in October 1996. Capstar Broadcasting had net losses attributable
to common stock of $13.3 million, $52.8 million and $96.8 million for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. It is expected that
current interest and amortization charges and increases thereto relating to
acquisitions will continue to have a negative impact on Capstar Broadcasting's
results of operations.
Difficulty of Integrating Acquisitions
Capstar Broadcasting pursues growth through the acquisition of radio
broadcasting companies, radio station groups and individual radio stations
primarily in mid-sized markets. Capstar Broadcasting's acquisition strategy
involves numerous risks, including increasing interest expense requirements,
difficulties in the integration of operations, systems and the management of a
large and geographically diverse group of stations, the diversion of
management's attention from other business concerns and the potential loss of
key employees of acquired stations. This rapid growth through acquisitions has
required senior management to spend a considerable amount of time integrating
the administrative, operational, and financial resources of Capstar Broadcasting
with each newly-acquired radio station. Capstar Broadcasting's future
performance and profitability will depend in part on its ability to integrate
successfully the operations and systems of acquired radio stations, to hire
additional personnel, and to implement necessary enhancements to its management
systems to respond to changes in its business. Depending on the nature, size and
timing of future acquisitions, Capstar Broadcasting may be required to raise
additional financing necessary to consummate its future acquisitions, increasing
its debt service obligations. The availability of additional financing cannot be
assured. Depending on the terms of the potential acquisition, additional
financing may not be permitted under the agreements that govern the outstanding
indebtedness of Capstar Broadcasting or additional financing may not be
available on terms acceptable to Capstar Broadcasting's management. There can be
no assurance that any future acquisitions will not have a material adverse
effect on Capstar Broadcasting's financial condition or results of operations.
34
<PAGE> 36
Chancellor Media Local Marketing Agreements
Chancellor Media provides services for eleven of Capstar Broadcasting's
stations in large markets under separate LMAs for approximately $49.4 million
per year. Chancellor Media has agreed to acquire such stations in exchange for
radio stations to be identified by Capstar Broadcasting over a three-year period
ending February 20, 2001 with corresponding decreases in the amount of the LMA
fees received by Capstar Broadcasting as stations are exchanged. No assurances
can be given that stations acquired by Capstar Broadcasting in exchange for
these eleven stations will generate cash flows comparable to the LMA fees
received from Chancellor Media, either initially when such stations are acquired
or at all. See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions -- Chancellor Exchange Agreement."
Control of the Company
Thomas O. Hicks and affiliates of Hicks Muse beneficially own approximately
99.3% of the outstanding Class C Common Stock, representing approximately 94.7%
of the total voting power of the outstanding Common Stock. Thomas O. Hicks is
the controlling stockholder of Hicks Muse and serves as its Chairman of the
Board. Accordingly, Thomas O. Hicks has a great deal of influence over the
management policies of Capstar Broadcasting and, subject to certain limited
exceptions, all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Common Stock.
In addition, the combined voting power of Thomas O. Hicks may have the effect of
discouraging selected transactions involving an actual or potential change of
control of Capstar Broadcasting.
Potential Conflicts of Interest as a Result of Cross-Ownership
Each of Thomas O. Hicks, Michael J. Levitt and Lawrence D. Stuart, Jr., all
members of the Board of Directors of Capstar Broadcasting, is a shareholder,
director, principal, managing director or executive officer of various entities
affiliated with Hicks Muse, including Chancellor Media, LIN Television
Corporation and Sunrise Broadcasting, Inc. Each of these companies is in the
business of making significant investments in the broadcasting business and may
compete with Capstar Broadcasting for advertising revenues and broadcast related
businesses that would be complementary to the business of Capstar Broadcasting.
As a result of this cross-ownership of various broadcasting businesses,
regulatory and other restrictions may prevent Capstar Broadcasting from
acquiring radio stations in markets where Chancellor Media, LIN and Sunrise own
or operate broadcasting businesses because of FCC rules. In addition, Hicks Muse
has required, and in the future may require, Capstar Broadcasting to divest
itself of one or more radio stations in a market to permit the ownership of
radio and television broadcast stations in such market by other entities in
which Hicks Muse has significant equity interests.
Competition for Advertising Revenue and Audience Ratings
Radio broadcasting is a highly competitive business. Capstar Broadcasting's
radio stations compete for audiences and advertising revenues with other radio
stations, as well as with other media, such as newspapers, magazines, cable
television, outdoor advertising, direct mail and the Internet. Audience ratings
and market shares are subject to change and any adverse change in a particular
market could have a material adverse effect on Capstar Broadcasting's revenues
in that market. For example, another radio station in a market could convert its
programming format to a format similar to one of Capstar Broadcasting's stations
in that market, a new station in a market could adopt a competitive format or an
existing competitor could strengthen its operations and Capstar Broadcasting's
stations in that market could suffer a reduction in ratings and/or advertising
revenue and could require increased promotional and other expenses.
Consequently, Capstar Broadcasting may not be able to maintain or increase its
current audience ratings or advertising revenues.
Potential Effects of Radio Broadcasting Regulation
The radio broadcasting industry is subject to regulation by various
governmental agencies. In particular, under the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, the FCC licenses radio stations and extensively regulates their
ownership and operation. Capstar Broadcasting depends on its ability to hold its
FCC broadcasting licenses, which are ordinarily issued for eight years and are
renewable. Although it is rare for the
35
<PAGE> 37
FCC to deny a license renewal application, there can be no assurance that
renewal applications will be approved or that if granted the renewals will not
include restrictive conditions or qualifications. In addition, limitations on
the ownership of radio stations under the FCC's current rules, or under revised
rules being considered by the FCC, could restrict the ability of Capstar
Broadcasting to consummate future transactions in certain circumstances and
could require that some radio stations be sold.
For a more detailed explanation of the significant regulatory issues
affecting the radio broadcasting industry, see "-- Federal Regulation of Radio
Broadcasting."
Possible Delay in Consummation of the Pending Transactions due to Antitrust
Review
As a result of the recent consolidation of ownership in the radio broadcast
industry, the DOJ has been looking closely at acquisitions in the industry,
including some of Capstar Broadcasting's transactions. The consummation of each
of the pending transactions is, and any of the future transactions contemplated
by Capstar Broadcasting will likely be, subject to the notification filing
requirements, applicable waiting periods and possible review by the DOJ or the
FTC under the HSR Act. DOJ review of certain transactions has caused, and may
continue to cause, delays in anticipated closings of certain transaction and, in
some cases, any result in attempts by the DOJ to enjoin such transactions or
negotiate modifications to the proposed terms. These delays, injunctions or
modifications could have a negative effect on Capstar Broadcasting and result in
the abandonment of some otherwise attractive opportunities. Although Capstar
Broadcasting does not believe that its acquisition strategy as a whole will be
adversely affected in any material respect by antitrust review or by additional
divestitures that it may have to make as a result of antitrust review, there can
be no assurance that this will be the case. See "-- Federal Regulation of Radio
Broadcasting -- Federal Antitrust Laws."
Dependence on Management
Capstar Broadcasting's business depends upon the continued efforts,
abilities and expertise of its executive officers and other key employees,
including its regional presidents. Capstar Broadcasting has employment
agreements with several key employees, including R. Steven Hicks and its
regional presidents. The loss of any of these individuals could have an adverse
effect on Capstar Broadcasting's business.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The types of properties required to support each of Capstar Broadcasting's
radio stations include offices, studios and transmitter/antenna sites. No one
property is material to the overall operations of Capstar Broadcasting. Capstar
Broadcasting typically leases its studio and office space with lease terms that
expire in five to ten years, although Capstar Broadcasting does own certain
facilities. Capstar Broadcasting generally considers its facilities to be
suitable and of adequate size for its current and intended purposes. Capstar
Broadcasting typically owns its transmitter and antenna sites, although Capstar
Broadcasting does lease
36
<PAGE> 38
certain of its transmitter and antenna sites with lease terms that expire in
three to 20 years. The transmitter and antenna site for each station is
generally located so as to provide maximum market coverage, consistent with the
station's FCC license. Capstar Broadcasting does not anticipate any difficulties
in renewing any facility or transmitter and antenna site leases or in leasing
additional space or sites if required.
Capstar Broadcasting owns substantially all other equipment, consisting
principally of transmitting antennae, transmitters, studio equipment and general
office equipment. The towers, antennae and other transmission equipment used by
Capstar Broadcasting's stations are generally in good condition, although
opportunities to upgrade facilities are continuously reviewed. All of the owned
property, other than transmitter and antenna sites and immaterial real estate
interests, secures Capstar Broadcasting's borrowings under its credit facility.
Capstar Broadcasting maintains its corporate headquarters at 600 Congress
Avenue, Suite 1400, Austin, Texas 78701. The telephone number of Capstar
Broadcasting is (512) 340-7800.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In October 1996, Cardinal Communications Partners, L.P. filed a complaint
in the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas
Division, against SFX Broadcasting, Inc. (the predecessor to Capstar
Communications) and other defendants. The complaint concerned Cardinal's sale of
radio station KTCK-AM to SFX in 1995. The claims asserted in the complaint
included breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, quantum meruit
and unjust enrichment. The complaint sought declaratory relief, actual and
punitive damages and attorneys' fees all in unspecified amount. SFX reached an
agreement with Cardinal effective August 1, 1997, that settled and resolved the
claims asserted in the lawsuit. As a result of the settlement agreement, all of
the claims have been dismissed against all of the defendants, with prejudice,
except for one claim. This claim, alleging breach of contract related to
deferred payments which SFX may be required to pay to Cardinal in 1998, was
dismissed without prejudice, subject to renewal by Cardinal through an agreed
arbitration procedure. In October 1998, the parties completed an arbitration
regarding the 1998 deferred payment. In November 1998, the parties settled the
claim for approximately $3.1 million, excluding legal fees of approximately $0.2
million.
On August 29, 1997, two lawsuits were commenced against SFX and its
directors in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (New Castle County).
The plaintiffs in the lawsuits are Harbor Finance Partners (C.A. No. 15891) and
Steven Lieberman (C.A. No. 15901). The complaints are identical and allege that
the consideration to be paid as a result of the acquisition of SFX to the
holders of the Class A common stock of SFX was unfair and that the individual
defendants breached their fiduciary duties. Both complaints sought to have the
actions certified as class actions and sought to enjoin the SFX acquisition or,
in the alternative, monetary damages. The parties agreed that the lawsuits could
be consolidated in one action entitled In Re SFX Broadcasting, Inc. Shareholders
Litigation (C.A. No. 15891). On March 17, 1998, the parties entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding, pursuant to which the parties reached an agreement
providing for a settlement of the lawsuit. Pursuant to the settlement, SFX
agreed not to seek an amendment to the SFX merger agreement with Capstar
Broadcasting to reduce the consideration to be received by the stockholders of
SFX in the SFX acquisition in order to offset the indemnity obligations of SFX
Entertainment, Inc., a former subsidiary of SFX. The settlement also provides
for SFX to pay plaintiff's counsel an aggregate of $950,000, including all fees
and expenses as approved by the court. The settlement is conditioned on the
consummation of the SFX acquisition, completion of confirmatory discovery and
court approval. Pursuant to the settlement, the defendants have denied, and
continue to deny, that they have acted in bad faith or breached any fiduciary
duty. There can be no assurance that the court will approve the settlement. The
parties currently are engaging in confirmatory discovery.
On July 13, 1998, Noddings Investment Group, Inc. and Noddings Warrant
Limited Partnership filed Civil Action No. 16538 in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware in and for New Castle County against Capstar Communications.
Noddings alleges that Capstar Communications breached a warrant agreement that
Noddings contends requires Capstar Communications to permit Noddings to exercise
warrants in exchange for cash and shares of stock of SFX Entertainment, Inc.
Specifically, Noddings alleges that
37
<PAGE> 39
Capstar Communications has violated the warrant agreement by permitting Noddings
to receive cash in exchange for its warrants, but refusing to convey shares of
stock of SFX Entertainment. In addition to suing on its own behalf, Noddings is
seeking to prosecute the action on behalf of a putative class comprised of all
persons who owned equivalent warrants on April 21, 1998, (the date immediately
following the record date of the distribution of stock of SFX Entertainment to
holders of the stock of SFX) and their transferees and successors in interest.
Noddings has requested that the court:
- declare that on the exercise of its warrants Capstar Communications
transmit to plaintiffs and members of the class that it seeks to
represent $22.3725 in cash per warrant and 0.2983 shares of common stock
of SFX Entertainment per warrant;
- require Capstar Communications to pay 0.2983 shares of common stock of
SFX Entertainment per warrant and, (if not previously paid) $22.3725 in
cash, to any putative class member that has exercised or exercises
warrants after April 20, 1998;
- in the alternative, award plaintiffs and members of the putative class
monetary damages in an amount to be determined at trial; and
- award costs and attorneys' fees.
In March 1999, the court issue an opinion dismissing two of Noddings'
counts and granting summary judgment in favor of Noddings on one count. The
court held that Noddings is entitled to 0.2983 shares of SFX Entertainment stock
per warrant. Capstar Communications intends to continue to defend this action
through a motion for reargument and if necessary an appeal.
On July 24, 1998, in connection with Capstar Broadcasting's pending
acquisition of Triathlon Broadcasting Company, Capstar Broadcasting was notified
of an action filed on behalf of all holders of depository shares of Triathlon
against Triathlon, its directors, and Capstar Broadcasting. The action was filed
in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (Civil Action No. 16560) in
and for New Castle County, Delaware by Herbert Behrens. The complaint alleges
that Triathlon and its directors breached their fiduciary duties to the class of
depository shareholders by agreeing to a transaction with Capstar Broadcasting
that allegedly favored the Class A common shareholders at the expense of the
depository shareholders. Capstar Broadcasting is accused of knowingly aiding and
abetting the breaches of fiduciary duties allegedly committed by the other
defendants. The complaint seeks to have the action certified as a class action
and seeks to enjoin the Triathlon acquisition, or in the alternative, seeks
monetary damages in an unspecified amount. On February 12, 1999, the parties
signed a Memorandum of Understanding that provides for the settlement of the
lawsuit. The amount of the settlement depends upon whether the average closing
price for the Class A common stock of Triathlon over the twenty days ending on
the date immediately preceding the effective time of the Triathlon acquisition
is equal to or lower than $12.60 per share. If the average closing price is
equal to or over $12.60 per share, Capstar Broadcasting will pay $0.11
additional consideration for each depositary share owned by any class member at
the effective time of the Triathlon acquisition. If the average closing price is
under $12.60 per share, Capstar Broadcasting will pay $0.37 additional
consideration for each depositary share owned by any class member at the
effective time of the Triathlon acquisition. Capstar Broadcasting also agreed
not to oppose plaintiff's counsel's application for attorney fees and expenses
in the aggregate amount of $150,000 if Capstar Broadcasting pays $0.11
additional consideration for each depositary share under the proposed settlement
and the aggregate amount of $400,000 if Capstar Broadcasting pays $0.37
additional consideration for each depositary share under the proposed
settlement. The proposed settlement is contingent upon confirmatory discovery by
the plaintiff, execution of a definitive settlement agreement, and court
approval.
On September 9, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting was notified of an action filed
on behalf of all owners of securities of Chancellor Media against Chancellor
Media, Hicks Muse and the individual directors of Chancellor Media in the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, Delaware.
While the complaint does not name Capstar Broadcasting as a defendant, the
complaint alleges that Chancellor Media and its directors breached their duties
to the alleged class by entering into an "overly generous offer for Capstar
assets." The action is relevant to Capstar Broadcasting because inter alia, the
plaintiff seeks an injunction prohibiting the proposed Chancellor Merger with
Capstar Broadcasting. As
38
<PAGE> 40
Capstar Broadcasting is not a defendant in this action, Capstar Broadcasting has
no obligation to appear or participate.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Capstar Broadcasting did not submit any matters to a vote of its
securityholders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31,
1998.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
The Class A Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")
under the symbol "CRB." The following table gives you, on a per share basis, for
the periods indicated, the high and the low closing sales price per share of the
Class A Common Stock. As of March 1, 1999, 33,989,792 shares of Class A Common
Stock were held by 124 stockholders of record.

The Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are
not listed on any national securities exchange. There is no established public
trading market for the Class B Common Stock or the Class C Common Stock. As of
March 1, 1999, 6,081,723 shares of Class B Common Stock were held by two
stockholders of record and 67,538,121 shares of Class C Common Stock were held
by 23 stockholders of record.
Capstar Broadcasting does not intend to pay any cash dividends on shares of
its Common Stock. Because Capstar Broadcasting is a holding company with no
significant assets other than the capital stock of its direct and indirect
subsidiaries, the only way it can pay dividends in the future is by receiving
dividends from its subsidiaries. Certain of Capstar Broadcasting's subsidiaries
are restricted from paying dividends by the terms of their respective
indebtedness.
ITEM 6. SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA
CAPSTAR BROADCASTING CORPORATION
In July 1997, Capstar Broadcasting through a wholly-owned subsidiary merged
with GulfStar Communications, Inc. in a transaction between entities under
common control which was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests. The table below presents only the financial data of GulfStar from
January 1, 1994 through October 16, 1996, the date Capstar Broadcasting
commenced operations. Subsequent to October 16, 1996, the historical financial
data of Capstar Broadcasting and GulfStar have been combined.
The operating and other data in the following table have been derived from
the audited consolidated financial statements of Capstar Broadcasting for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, all of which are included
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and from the audited consolidated
financial statements of Capstar Broadcasting for the years ended December 31,
1994 and 1995. The selected balance sheet data in the following table have been
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Capstar
Broadcasting as of December 31, 1997 and 1998 which are included elsewhere in
this Annual
39
<PAGE> 41
Report on Form 10-K, and from the audited consolidated financial statements of
Capstar Broadcasting as of December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996.
Broadcast cash flow consists of operating income before depreciation,
amortization, corporate expenses, noncash compensation expense, LMA fees, and
merger, nonrecurring and systems development expense. EBITDA (before noncash
compensation expense, LMA fees and merger, nonrecurring and systems development
expense) consists of operating income before depreciation, amortization, noncash
compensation expense, LMA fees and merger, nonrecurring and systems development
expense. Broadcast cash flow and EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense,
LMA fees and merger, nonrecurring and systems development expense) are discussed
because they are measures widely used in the broadcasting industry to evaluate a
radio company's operating performance. You should know that broadcast cash flow
and EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense, LMA fees and merger,
nonrecurring and systems development expense) are not measures of performance
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Accordingly, you should also review Capstar Broadcasting's operating income,
cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statements
that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Since broadcast cash flow and EBITDA
(before noncash compensation expense, LMA fees and merger, nonrecurring and
systems development expense) are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, you
should not compare them to similarly titled information used by other companies.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
In Management's Discussion and Analysis management explains the general
financial condition and the results of operation of Capstar Broadcasting
including:
- what factors affect Capstar Broadcasting's business;
- what Capstar Broadcasting's earnings and costs were in 1998 and 1997;
- why those earnings and costs were different from the year before;
- where Capstar Broadcasting's earnings come from;
- how all of this affects Capstar Broadcasting's overall financial
condition;
- what Capstar Broadcasting's expenditures for acquisitions and other
capital needs were since its organization in October 1996 and what
management expects them to be in 1999; and
- where cash will come from to pay for future capital expenditures and debt
service obligations.
As you read this Management's Discussion and Analysis, it may be helpful to
refer to Capstar Broadcasting's Consolidated Financial Statements on pages F-2
through F-41, which present the results of operations for 1998, 1997 and 1996.
In Management's Discussion and Analysis, management analyzes and explains the
annual changes in the specific line items in the consolidated statements of
operations and other data. You should know that these changes are not
historically comparable because of the numerous acquisitions and dispositions
that Capstar Broadcasting has completed since its inception. Management's
analysis may be important to you in making decisions about your investments in
Capstar Broadcasting.
Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media have agreed to merge. The merger
is discussed in more detail in "Item 1. Business -- The Transactions
-- Chancellor Merger." The merger with Chancellor Media may impact many of the
matters discussed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis, including
earnings, results of operations, expenses, liquidity and capital resources.
Management believes that it is important to discuss advertising revenues
and seasonal fluctuations of advertising revenues, two factors that have a
strong influence on Capstar Broadcasting's business performance:
- ADVERTISING REVENUES. Capstar Broadcasting's revenues are derived
primarily from the sale of time to local and national advertisers. These
revenues are affected by the advertising rates that Capstar Broadcasting
is able to charge and the number of advertisements that can be broadcast
without jeopardizing listener levels (and resulting ratings). Advertising
rates tend to be based upon demand for a station's advertising inventory
and its ability to attract audiences in targeted demographic groups, as
measured principally by Arbitron. Capstar Broadcasting attempts to
maximize revenues for each of its stations by adjusting rates based upon
local market conditions, controlling advertising inventory and creating
demand and audience ratings.
- SEASONALITY. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are common in the radio
broadcasting industry and are due primarily to fluctuations in
advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Advertising
expenditures are typically lowest in the first calendar quarter and
highest in the second and fourth calendar quarters of each year. Capstar
Broadcasting's operating results in any period may be affected by the
occurrence of advertising and promotion expenses that do not produce
commensurate revenues in the period in which the expenditures are made.
Because Arbitron reports audience ratings on a quarterly basis, Capstar
Broadcasting's ability to realize revenues as a result of increased
advertising and promotional expenses and any resulting audience ratings
improvements may be delayed for several months.

<PAGE> 46
In the following analysis, management discusses broadcast cash flow and
EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense, LMA fees and merger, nonrecurring
and systems development expense) because they are measures widely used in the
broadcasting industry to evaluate a radio company's operating performance.
Broadcast cash flow consists of operating income before depreciation,
amortization, corporate expenses, LMA fees, noncash compensation expense and
merger nonrecurring and systems development expense. EBITDA (before noncash
compensation expense, LMA fees and merger, nonrecurring and systems development
expense) consists of operating income before depreciation, amortization, LMA
fees, noncash compensation expense fees and merger, nonrecurring and systems
development expense. You should know that broadcast cash flow and EBITDA (before
noncash compensation expense, LMA fees and merger, nonrecurring and systems
development expense) are not measures of performance calculated in accordance
with GAAP. Accordingly, you should also review Capstar Broadcasting's operating
income, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow
statements that are prepared in accordance with GAAP.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
Net Revenue. Net revenue increased $342.0 million or 194.9% to $517.4
million in the year ended December 31, 1998 from $175.4 million in the year
ended December 31, 1997. This increase was attributable to the acquisitions of
radio stations and revenue generated from JSAs and LMAs entered into during the
year ended December 31, 1998. On a same station basis, for stations owned or
operated as of December 31, 1998, net revenue increased $66.8 million or 11.7%
to $637.7 million from $570.9 million in the year ended December 31, 1997. The
increase was primarily attributable to growth in the sale of time to local and
national advertisers.
Station Operating Expenses. Station operating expenses increased $182.5
million or 149.4% to $304.6 million in the year ended December 31, 1998 from
$122.1 million in the year ended December 31, 1997. On a same station basis, for
stations owned or operated as of December 31, 1998, operating expenses increased
$16.8 million or 4.8% to $351.4 million from $368.2 million in the year ended
December 31, 1997. As a percent of revenue, historical operating expenses have
declined from 69.6% in 1997 to 58.9% in 1998 as a result of (i) cost savings
measures implemented by Capstar Broadcasting in connection with its acquisitions
and (ii) the spreading of fixed costs over a larger revenue base.
Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses increased $9.5 million or 66.5% to
$23.7 million in the year ended December 31, 1998 from $14.2 million in the same
period during 1997 primarily as a result of higher salary expense for additional
staffing.
Other Operating Expenses. Depreciation and amortization increased $69.8
million or 264.2% to $96.2 million in the year ended December 31, 1998 from
$26.4 million in the same period in 1997 primarily due to radio station
acquisitions consummated in 1998. Noncash compensation expense related to
certain options, warrants and stockholder non-recourse notes increased $10.7
million or 101.0% to $21.3 million in 1998 from $10.6 million in 1997 due to an
increase in the fair value of the Class A Common Stock. In 1998, Capstar
Broadcasting recorded merger, nonrecurring and systems development expense of
$12.9 million which consisted of (i) $8.1 million of investment banking, legal
and other expense related to the pending merger with Chancellor Media, (ii) $2.1
million of expense, primarily legal, accounting and severance costs associated
with acquisitions and legal reorganization, (iii) $1.4 million consisting
primarily of startup costs associated with Capstar Broadcasting's sales training
initiative and (iv) $1.3 million of current state assessment, business process
reengineering and training expense incurred in connection with Capstar
Broadcasting's development of the Galaxy(TM) system. In 1997, Capstar
Broadcasting recorded merger, nonrecurring and systems development expense of
$4.7 million which consisted of investment banking, legal and transaction fees
related to the acquisition of GulfStar Communications, Inc.
Other Income (Expense). Interest expense increased $74.1 million or 157.7%
to $121.1 million in the year ended December 31, 1998 from $47.0 million in the
same period in 1997 primarily due to the interest expense associated with
indebtedness incurred in connection with Capstar Broadcasting's acquisitions. In
1998, Capstar Broadcasting incurred a loss of $28.6 million on investments in
two limited liability companies comprised of (i) write-downs of notes receivable
from the limited liability companies and (ii) certain
45
<PAGE> 47
performance obligations under the limited liability companies' borrowing
arrangements for which Capstar Broadcasting acts as guarantor. In 1998, an
extraordinary loss of $7.3 million on extinguishment of debt was recorded
relating to Capstar Broadcasting's refinancing of its previous credit facility
with a new credit facility in the second quarter of 1998 and Capstar Radio
purchasing all of the outstanding shares of its 13 1/4% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2003 of Commodore Media, Inc. (the "13 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes"). In
1997, an extraordinary loss of $2.4 million was recorded relating to the
write-off of deferred financing fees associated with the GulfStar
Communications, Inc. credit facility which was refinanced during the period.
Net Loss. As a result of the factors described above, net loss increased
$51.0 million to a $96.7 million net loss in the year ended December 31, 1998
from a $45.7 million net loss in the year ended December 31, 1997.
Broadcast Cash Flow. As a result of the factors described above, broadcast
cash flow increased $159.6 million or 299.4% to $212.9 million in the year ended
December 31, 1998 from $53.3 million in the year ended December 31, 1997. The
broadcast cash flow margin was 41.1% in the year ended December 31, 1998 as
compared to 30.4% in the same period in 1997. On a same station basis, for
stations owned or operated as of December 31, 1998, broadcast cash flow
increased $50.0 million or 22.8% to $269.6 million from $219.6 million in the
year ended December 31, 1997.
EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense, LMA fees and merger,
nonrecurring and systems development expense). As a result of the factors
described above, EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense, LMA fees and
merger, nonrecurring and systems development) increased $150.1 million or 384.1%
to $189.2 million in the year ended December 31, 1998 from $39.1 million in the
year ended December 31, 1997. The EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense,
LMA fees and merger, nonrecurring and systems development) margin increased to
36.6% in 1998 from 22.3% in 1997.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
Net Revenue. Net revenue increased $132.5 million or 309.3% to $175.4
million in the year ended December 31, 1997 from $42.9 million in the year ended
December 31, 1996. This increase was attributable to the acquisition of radio
stations and revenue generated from JSAs and LMAs entered into during the year
ended December 31, 1997. On a same station basis, for stations owned or operated
as of December 31, 1997, net revenue increased $9.0 million or 4.2% to $223.5
million from $214.5 million in the year ended December 31, 1996. This increase
was primarily attributable to growth in the sale of time to local and national
advertisers.
Station Operating Expenses. Station operating expenses increased $91.6
million or 300.7% to $122.1 million in the year ended December 31, 1997 from
$30.5 million in the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily
attributable to the station operating expenses of the radio station acquisitions
and the JSAs and the LMAs entered into during the year ended December 31, 1997.
On a same station basis, for stations owned or operated as of December 31, 1997,
operating expenses decreased $1.4 million or 0.9% to $157.6 million from $159.0
million in the year ended December 31, 1996. As a percent of revenue, historical
operating expenses declined from 71.1% in 1996 to 69.6% in 1997 as a result of
(i) cost savings measures implemented by Capstar Broadcasting in connection with
its acquisitions and (ii) the spreading of fixed costs over a larger revenue
base.
Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses increased $11.7 million or 463.7%
during 1997 to $14.2 million from $2.5 million in 1996 as a result of higher
salary expense for additional staffing.
Other Operating Expenses. Depreciation and amortization increased $22.3
million or 537.9% to $26.4 million in 1997 from $4.1 million in 1996 primarily
due to radio station acquisitions consummated in 1997 and 1996. LMA fees
increased $1.7 million, or 202.0%, to $2.5 million in the year ended December
31, 1997 from $800,000 in the year ended December 31, 1996. Noncash compensation
expense increased $4.4 million or 71.2% to $10.6 million in the year ended
December 31, 1997 from approximately $6.2 million in the year ended December 31,
1996 due to compensation charges in connection with warrants issued to R. Steven
Hicks and certain stock subscriptions. In 1997, Capstar Broadcasting recorded
merger, nonrecurring
46
<PAGE> 48
and systems development expense of $4.7 million which consisted of investment
banking, legal and transaction fees related to the acquisition of GulfStar
Communications, Inc.
Other Income (Expense). Interest expense increased $38.1 million or 427.8%
to $47.0 million in the year ended December 31, 1997 from $8.9 million during
the same period in 1996 primarily due to indebtedness incurred in connection
with Capstar Broadcasting's acquisitions.
Net Loss. As a result of the factors described above and preferred stock
dividends resulting from the 12% Senior Exchangeable Preferred Stock issued by
Capstar Partners in June 1997, net loss increased $33.7 million in the year
ended December 31, 1997 to a net loss of $45.7 from a net loss of $12.0 million
in the year ended December 31, 1996.
Broadcast Cash Flow. As a result of the factors described above, broadcast
cash flow increased $40.9 million or 330.4% to $53.3 million in the year ended
December 31, 1997 from $12.4 million in the year ended December 31, 1996. The
broadcast cash flow margin was 30.4% in the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to 28.9% in the same period in 1996. The inclusion of broadcast cash
flow from acquisitions and the JSAs and the LMAs accounted for $40.1 million of
the increase. On a same station basis, for stations owned or operated as of
December 31, 1997, broadcast cash flows increased $10.4 million or 18.8% to
$65.9 million from $55.5 million in year ended December 31, 1996.
EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense, LMA fees and merger,
nonrecurring and systems development expense). As a result of the factors
described above, EBITDA (before noncash compensation expense, LMA fees and
merger, nonrecurring and systems development expense) increased $29.2 million or
296.4% to $39.1 million in the year ended December 31, 1997 from $9.9 million in
the year ended December 31, 1996. The EBITDA (before noncash compensation
expense, LMA fees and merger, nonrecurring and systems development expense)
margin decreased to 22.3% in 1997 from 23.0% in 1996 as a result of higher
corporate expenses as described above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capstar Broadcasting's acquisition strategy requires a great deal of
capital. Capstar Broadcasting has historically used the proceeds of bank debt,
debt offerings, equity offerings and cash flow from operations to fund the
implementation of its acquisition strategy. Capstar Broadcasting's business has
generated sufficient cash flow from operations to finance its existing
operations and debt service requirements, and management anticipates that this
will continue to be the case. A brief summary of each of Capstar Broadcasting's
outstanding debt or preferred equity instruments follows.
In February 1997, Capstar Partners issued its 12 3/4% Senior Discount Notes
due 2009 (the "12 3/4% Capstar Partners Notes") at a substantial discount from
their aggregate principal amount at maturity of $277.0 million. The 12 3/4%
Capstar Partners Notes pay no cash interest until August 1, 2002. Accordingly,
the carrying value will increase through accretion until August 1, 2002. As of
December 31, 1998, the outstanding principal balance was $189.0 million.
Beginning on August 1, 2002, Capstar Partners will pay interest of approximately
$17.7 million semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year until
maturity on February 1, 2009.
In June 1997, Capstar Radio issued its 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2007 (the "9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes".) As of December 31, 1998, the
outstanding principal balance was $199.3 million. Capstar Radio pays interest
payments of $9.25 million on the 9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes semi-annually on
January 1 and July 1 of each year. The 9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes mature on July
1, 2007.
In June 1997, Capstar Partners issued 1,000,000 shares of its 12% Senior
Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock").
Capstar Partners is required to pay dividends on the 12% Capstar Partners
Preferred Stock semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year at a rate of
$12.00 per share. Until July 1, 2002, dividends may be paid, at Capstar
Partners' option, either in cash or in additional shares of 12% Capstar Partners
Preferred Stock. Since issuance, Capstar Partners has paid the required dividend
in additional shares. Capstar Partners intends to continue to pay the dividend
in additional shares, rather than cash, through July 1, 2002. As of March 1,
1999, 1,196,236 shares of the 12% Capstar Partners
47
<PAGE> 49
Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding with a liquidation preference equal
to $100.00 per share or approximately $119.6 million.
In May 1998, Capstar Broadcasting borrowed $150.0 million from Chancellor
Media. The loan bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum (subject to increase
in certain circumstances), payable quarterly, of which 5/6 is payable in cash
and 1/6 is, at Capstar Broadcasting's option, either payable in cash or added to
the principal amount of the loan. In addition, Capstar Broadcasting may elect to
defer the 5/6 portion payable in cash, in which case the loan would bear
interest at a rate of 14% per annum. In 1998, Capstar Broadcasting did not elect
to defer any portion of the interest due, and Capstar Broadcasting paid
approximately $10.6 million to Chancellor Media. In the future, Capstar
Broadcasting does not anticipate deferring any portion of the interest payments.
The loan matures in May 2018, provided that Capstar Broadcasting may prepay all
or part of the outstanding principal balance and, in certain circumstances,
Chancellor Media will have the right to require Capstar Broadcasting to prepay
part of the outstanding principal balance. See "Item 13. Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions -- Chancellor Note."
During 1998, Capstar Broadcasting received $634.1 million from equity
investments of Hicks Muse and its affiliates and approximately $551.3 million
from its initial public offering. Capstar Broadcasting used these funds to
complete station acquisitions and to repay indebtedness.
In addition to the financing described above, Capstar Broadcasting has
assumed the outstanding indebtedness of some of the companies that it has
acquired. In October 1996, Capstar Broadcasting assumed the 13 1/4% Capstar
Radio Notes. In April 1998, Capstar Broadcasting purchased all of the
outstanding 13 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $90.2
million, including a $10.7 million purchase premium and $2.7 million of accrued
interest.
In May 1998, the obligations of SFX Broadcasting, Inc. under its 10 3/4%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "10 3/4% CCI Notes") and the 11 3/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2000 (the "11 3/8% CCI Notes") remained
outstanding after the acquisition of SFX (renamed Capstar Communications). In
July 1998, Capstar Communications redeemed $154.0 million aggregate principal
amount of the 10 3/4% CCI Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $172.8
million, including a $16.6 million redemption premium and $2.2 million of
accrued interest. Because the SFX acquisition resulted in a change of control of
SFX, Capstar Communications was required to make an offer to purchase all of the
10 3/4% CCI Notes and the CCI 11 3/8% Notes. In July 1998, Capstar
Communications purchased $1.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 10 3/4%
CCI Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $1.9 million, including a $18,000
purchase premium and $31,000 of accrued interest. The carrying value of the
10 3/4% CCI Notes approximated their face value at the date of redemption.
Capstar Communications did not purchase any 11 3/8% CCI Notes. Capstar
Communications pays interest of approximately $15.9 million on the 10 3/4% CCI
Notes semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 10 3/4% CCI
Notes mature on May 15, 2006. Capstar Communications pays interest of
approximately $32,000 on the 11 3/8% CCI Notes semi-annually on April 1 and
October 1 of each year. The 11 3/8% CCI Notes mature on October 1, 2000. As of
December 31, 1998, the outstanding principal balances were $294.1 million and
$566,000 on the 10 3/4% CCI Notes and 11 3/8% CCI Notes, respectively.
Upon completion of the acquisition of Capstar Communications, 2,392,022
shares of SFX's Series E Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock ("CCI Series E
Preferred Stock") remained outstanding at Capstar Communications. Capstar
Communications is required to pay dividends on the CCI Series E Preferred Stock
semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year at the rate per share of
$12.625 per year. Until January 15, 2002, Capstar Communications may pay
dividends either in cash or in additional shares of CCI Series E Preferred
Stock. Since July 15, 1998, Capstar Communications has paid the required
dividend by issuing additional shares. Capstar Communications intends to
continue to pay the dividend in additional shares, rather than cash, through
January 15, 2002. In July 1998, Capstar Communications redeemed 1,196,011 shares
of CCI Series E Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $141.7
million, including a $15.1 million redemption premium and $7.0 million of
accrued dividends. The carrying value of the CCI Series E Preferred Stock
approximated its fair value at the date of redemption. Because the acquisition
of Capstar Communications resulted in a change of control, Capstar
Communications was required to make an offer to purchase all of the CCI Series E
Preferred Stock. In July 1998, Capstar
48
<PAGE> 50
Communications purchased 5,004 shares of the CCI Series E Preferred Stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $536,000, including a $5,000 purchase premium and
$31,000 of accrued dividends. As of March 1, 1999, 1,346,091 shares of the CCI
Series E Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding with a liquidation
preference equal to $100.00 per share or approximately $134.6 million.
In addition to the debt and equity described above, Capstar Broadcasting
through a subsidiary has entered into the Capstar Broadcasting credit facility
under which Capstar Radio is the borrower. The Capstar Broadcasting credit
facility consists of a $500 million revolving loan, a $450 million A Term Loan
and a $400 million B Term Loan. Pursuant to the Capstar Broadcasting credit
facility and subject to bank availabilities and approvals, Capstar Broadcasting
may request additional term loans and revolving credit loans in an aggregate
amount up to $550 million. The interest rate under the Capstar Broadcasting
credit facility is a floating rate. On March 1, 1999, Capstar Broadcasting had
borrowings of approximately $909.0 million outstanding under the Capstar
Broadcasting credit facility comprised of $62 million in revolving loans, $450.0
million under the A Term Loan and $397.0 million under the B Term Loan, with a
weighted average effective interest rate of 7.3% per annum. On March 1, 1999,
$427.2 million was available for borrowing, subject to financial covenants
contained in the credit facility and the indentures that govern the indebtedness
of Capstar Broadcasting's subsidiaries. Beginning August 31, 1999, the A Term
Loan will require scheduled annual principal payments, payable quarterly, of $45
million for the first year, $67.5 million in the second and third years, $90
million for the fourth and fifth years, and two quarterly payments of $45
million during the final year commencing August 31, 2004. The B Term Loan
requires scheduled annual principal payments, payable quarterly, of $4 million
in years 1999 through 2003, $180 million in 2004 and $200 million in 2005.
In May 1998, Capstar Broadcasting purchased a $8.5 million letter of credit
reimbursement obligation owing from R. Steven Hicks to Bankers Trust Company.
The $8.5 million indebtedness of R. Steven Hicks currently owing to Capstar
Broadcasting will be satisfied upon the transfer by R. Steven Hicks to Capstar
Broadcasting of a license issued by the FCC to operate a new FM broadcast
station on Channel 290C2 located in Round Rock, Texas.
In connection with the spin-off of SFX Entertainment, Inc., Capstar
Communications incurred an estimated federal income tax liability of
approximately $93.0 million. SFX Entertainment, Inc., indemnified Capstar
Communications for approximately $93.0 million of such estimated tax liability.
The full indemnity obligation of SFX Entertainment, Inc. has been satisfied.
These estimated federal income taxes were paid in full on March 15, 1999.
Chancellor Media is providing services for eleven large market stations
under separate LMAs with Capstar Broadcasting for approximately $49.4 million
per year. In addition, Chancellor Media has agreed to acquire such stations in
exchange for radio stations to be identified by Capstar Broadcasting over a
three-year period beginning in May 1998, with corresponding decreases in the
amount of the LMA fees as stations are exchanged. In 1998, Chancellor Media paid
Capstar Broadcasting approximately $28.8 million in LMA fees. During 1999,
Capstar Broadcasting expects to receive approximately $49.4 in LMA fees from
Chancellor Media. During the pendency of the merger with Chancellor Media,
Capstar Broadcasting does not anticipate effecting any exchanges with Chancellor
Media. Chancellor Media is currently assessing whether the terms of the letter
agreement will be modified upon the consummation of the merger with Chancellor
Media. See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions -- Chancellor Exchange Agreement."
In addition to debt service and tax liabilities, Capstar Broadcasting's
principal liquidity requirements in 1999 will be for working capital and general
corporate purposes, including capital expenditures estimated at $42.0 million,
to consummate its pending acquisitions and, as appropriate opportunities arise,
to acquire additional radio stations or complementary broadcast-related
businesses. Capstar Broadcasting believes that the disposition of certain
assets, cash from operating activities, LMA fees from Chancellor Media, together
with available revolving credit borrowings under the Capstar Broadcasting credit
facility, should be sufficient to permit Capstar Broadcasting to meet its
obligations. In the future, Capstar Broadcasting may require additional
financing, either in the form of additional debt or equity securities. Capstar
Broadcasting evaluates potential acquisition opportunities on an on-going basis
and has had, and continues to have, preliminary
49
<PAGE> 51
discussions concerning the purchase of additional stations. Capstar Broadcasting
expects that in connection with the financing of future acquisitions, it may
consider disposing of stations in its current markets.
Capstar Broadcasting has guaranteed the Capstar Broadcasting credit
facility and the outstanding bank indebtedness of two limited liability
companies in the amount of approximately $27.4 million and $24.5 million in each
of which entities Capstar Broadcasting holds a 30% non-voting equity interest,
and may in the future be required to repay such indebtedness. Through December
31, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting has performed as guarantor on these notes paying
$3.4 million in principal and interest.
Capstar Broadcasting is a holding company with no significant assets other
than the capital stock of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Consequently,
its sole source of cash from which to service indebtedness is dividends
distributed or other payments made to it by its operating subsidiaries. The
instruments governing Capstar Broadcasting's indebtedness contain certain
covenants that restrict or prohibit the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends
and make other distributions. These restrictions are not anticipated to have an
impact on Capstar Broadcasting's ability to meet its cash obligations.
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was approximately
$(8.0) million and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Changes in Capstar Broadcasting's net cash provided by operating
activities are primarily the result of completed acquisitions and station
operating agreements entered into during the periods and their effects on income
from operations and working capital requirements.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,420.2 million and $487.0
million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net cash
provided by financing activities was $1,375.3 million and $540.5 million for the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These cash flows primarily
reflect borrowings, Capstar Broadcasting's initial public offering, capital
contributions and expenditures for stations acquisitions and dispositions.
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS no. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
This pronouncement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. Management does not believe the implementation of
this accounting pronouncement will have a material effect on its consolidated
financial statements.
IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 issue concerns the inability of computer programs and
embedded computer chips to properly recognize and process date sensitive
information when the year changes to 2000, or "00." Systems that do not properly
recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause a system to
fail causing a disruption in the operations of a company.
A company-wide inventory and assessment of Capstar Broadcasting's systems
and operations began in December 1996, and is continuing, to identify any
software or hardware systems, equipment with embedded chips or processors, and
non-information technology systems, such as telephone, voicemail and HVAC
systems, which do not properly recognize dates after December 31, 1999.
Concurrently with its company-wide assessment, Capstar Broadcasting is
developing and is in the process of implementing its Year 2000 compliance
program. Capstar Broadcasting is utilizing both internal and external resources
to identify its mission critical systems and, upon identification, to remediate
or replace and test systems for Year 2000 compliance. In addition, as part of
its acquisition and consolidation strategy, Capstar Broadcasting assesses and,
as necessary, remediates or replaces the systems of acquired companies and
stations with Year 2000 compliant systems.
50
<PAGE> 52
Initially, Capstar Broadcasting has identified StarSystem(TM), its digital
automation systems, its advertising scheduling and billing systems and its
accounting systems as the mission critical systems to evaluate for Year 2000
compliance. The list of Capstar Broadcasting's mission critical systems may be
expanded, however, upon completion of its company-wide inventory and assessment.
If remediations or replacements are not made, are not completed on time, or are
insufficient to prevent systems failures or other disruptions, the Year 2000
issue could have a material adverse impact on Capstar Broadcasting's results of
operations and financial condition.
Management has determined that the software underlying StarSystem(TM) is
Year 2000 compliant. StarSystem's(TM) wide area computer network is, however,
dependent on the systems of Capstar Broadcasting's telecommunications services
providers. Capstar Broadcasting has sent a questionnaire to each of its
telecommunications services providers asking it to update Capstar Broadcasting
on the status of its Year 2000 compliance. Until such questionnaires are
returned and reviewed, Capstar Broadcasting will be unable to fully assess the
potential for disruption in its programming and operations arising from this
third party risk.
Management has been assured by its vendors that Capstar Broadcasting's
digital automation systems are Year 2000 compliant. Capstar Broadcasting has
tested over 50% of these systems to insure their Year 2000 compliance and
expects to complete testing of all of these systems by year end.
Capstar Broadcasting employs advertising scheduling and billing systems at
each of its stations. Capstar Broadcasting has received Year 2000 compliance
certificates from the vendors providing the software applications underlying
Capstar Broadcasting's existing advertising scheduling and billing systems,
certifying that such applications are Year 2000 compliant. Not all of the
hardware underlying Capstar Broadcasting's existing advertising scheduling and
billing systems are Year 2000 compliant. As part of Capstar Broadcasting's
capital improvement program, the Galaxy(TM) system, which is Year 2000
compliant, will replace Capstar Broadcasting's existing advertising scheduling
and billing systems. Management began installation of the Galaxy(TM) system at
its stations in March 1999 and is scheduled to complete the installation of the
Galaxy(TM) system at substantially all of its stations by December 1, 1999. To
insure Year 2000 compliance of its advertising scheduling and billing systems,
management intends to begin replacement of noncompliant hardware with Year 2000
compliant hardware in the 18 markets in which Capstar Broadcasting operates that
are not scheduled to have the Galaxy(TM) system installed until the third
quarter of 1999. Management estimates that such hardware replacements will be
completed by the end of July 1999 at a total cost of approximately $90,000.
Capstar Broadcasting utilizes purchased software programs for its financial
applications and office automation. Capstar Broadcasting has received Year 2000
compliance certificates from the vendors providing these software packages,
certifying that such packages are Year 2000 compliant. Capstar Broadcasting is
currently testing these systems to insure their Year 2000 compliance.
Capstar Broadcasting has determined that some of its telephone systems are
not Year 2000 compliant. As part of Capstar Broadcasting's Year 2000 compliance
efforts and its capital improvement program, management intends to remediate or
replace such telephone systems by the end of September 1999 at a current
estimated cost of approximately $150,000.
In addition to identifying, assessing and remediating or replacing its
mission critical systems, Capstar Broadcasting is assessing its exposure from
external sources to Year 2000 failures. Capstar Broadcasting relies on
third-party providers for key services such as telecommunications and utilities.
Interruption of these services could, in management's view, have a material
adverse impact on the operations of Capstar Broadcasting. Capstar Broadcasting
has begun sending questionnaires to each of these and other significant third
party providers asking them to update Capstar Broadcasting on the status of
their Year 2000 compliance. Until those questionnaires are returned and
reviewed, Capstar Broadcasting will be unable to fully assess the potential for
disruption in its programming and operations arising from this third party risk.
If Capstar Broadcasting does not receive reasonable assurances regarding Year
2000 compliance from any provider of these services, Capstar Broadcasting will
then develop contingency plans, to the extent possible, to address its exposure.
51
<PAGE> 53
Costs specifically associated with ensuring that Capstar Broadcasting's
systems and the systems of third parties on which Capstar Broadcasting is
dependent are Year 2000 compliant are currently expected to be approximately
$1.0 million, of which $600,000 has been incurred to date. The costs of
developing and installing the Galaxy(TM) system are not included in this amount
because such system is being developed and installed for primarily operational,
and not Year 2000 compliance, reasons. These cost estimates are subject to
change once Capstar Broadcasting has fully assessed its systems and responses
are obtained from third party vendors and service providers. Any change in cost
may be material. Funding of these costs is anticipated to come from cash flows
generated by business operations and/or borrowings under Capstar Broadcasting's
credit facility.
Capstar Broadcasting is in the process of identifying the most reasonably
likely worst case scenarios that may affect its operations due to Year 2000
noncompliance of Capstar Broadcasting's systems or the systems of third parties.
Initially, Capstar Broadcasting believes that the failure of its advertising
scheduling and billing systems and the temporary loss of power at some of its
stations due to Year 2000 noncompliance are the most reasonably likely worst
case scenarios. Many of Capstar Broadcasting's stations and transmitter sites
currently have on-site generators in the event of power outages. As part of
Capstar Broadcasting's capital improvement program, management has begun
installation of generators at each of its remaining stations and transmitter
sites and expects to have approximately 98% coverage of its stations and
transmitter sites by year end. Capstar Broadcasting believes that the
installation of the Galaxy(TM) system or the upgrade of the hardware on its
existing advertising scheduling and billing systems and the installation of
generators at substantially all of its stations will resolve possible
disruptions in the business operations of Capstar Broadcasting that would result
from such risks. Capstar Broadcasting may identify additional worst case
scenarios once it has fully assessed its mission critical systems and obtained
responses from third party vendors and service providers. Capstar Broadcasting
expects to develop other contingency plans to mitigate the possible disruption
in business operations that may result from Capstar Broadcasting's systems or
the systems of third parties that are not Year 2000 compliant.
Based on the nature of Capstar Broadcasting's business and dispersed
geographical locations, Capstar Broadcasting believes that it may experience
some disruption in its business due to the impact of the Year 2000 issue.
Management presently believes, however, that Capstar Broadcasting is taking
appropriate steps to assess and control its Year 2000 issues. If Capstar
Broadcasting does not complete all phases of its Year 2000 compliance program
and remediations or replacements are not made, are not completed on time, or are
insufficient to prevent systems failures or other disruptions, the Year 2000
issue could have a material adverse impact on Capstar Broadcasting's results of
operations and financial condition. Capstar Broadcasting does not currently have
any contingency plans in the event that it does not complete all phases of its
Year 2000 compliance program. Capstar Broadcasting is continually assessing the
status of completion of its Year 2000 compliance program and, as necessary, will
determine whether any such contingency plans are necessary.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of Capstar Broadcasting due to
adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. Capstar
Broadcasting is exposed to market risk in the areas of changes in the United
States and international borrowing rates (i.e. prime rate or LIBOR).
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
In January 1997, Capstar Broadcasting entered into an interest rate swap
agreement (a derivative instrument) designated as a partial hedge of Capstar
Broadcasting's portfolio of variable rate debt. The purpose of the swap is to
reduce certain exposures to interest rate fluctuations. At December 31, 1998,
this interest rate swap had a notional amount of $26.0 million, and a portfolio
of variable rate debt outstanding in the amount of $909.0 million. Under this
agreement, Capstar Broadcasting is receiving a weighted-average variable rate
equal to LIBOR and paying a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 6.34%. The
weighted-average LIBOR rate applicable to this agreement was 5.07% at December
31, 1998. Interest expense was increased by $124,000 and $170,000 in 1997 and
1998, respectively. Notional amounts do not quantify risk or
52
<PAGE> 54
represent assets or liabilities of Capstar Broadcasting, but are used in the
determination of cash settlements under the agreements. The interest rate swap
agreement matures on January 31, 2000.
The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated by obtaining
quotations from brokers. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement as
of December 31, 1998 is approximately negative $412,000, which is the estimate
of the amount Capstar Broadcasting would have to pay as of December 31, 1998 if
the contract was transferred to other parties or cancelled by the broker.
Management believes that potential, near-term losses in future earnings from
reasonably possible near-term changes in market interest rates will be
immaterial.
The following table presents the notional amount and expected interest
rates that exist during the term of the interest rate swap agreement. The
notional amount is used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged
under the contract. The variable rates are estimated based on implied forward
rates in the yield curve at the reporting date.
In the normal course of business, Capstar Broadcasting also faces risks
that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally
include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following
table.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Stock Option Plan gives certain individuals and key employees of
Capstar Broadcasting who are responsible for the continued growth of Capstar
Broadcasting an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in Capstar
Broadcasting, and thus to create in such persons an increased interest in and a
greater concern for the welfare of Capstar Broadcasting. The Stock Option Plan
provides for grant of options to acquire up to 4,700,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock. As of March 1, 1999, grants of stock options with respect to
4,574,411 shares of Class A Common Stock have been made under the Stock Option
Plan.
The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of
Capstar Broadcasting's Board of Directors; provided, that for purposes of
determining the performance goals applicable to employees who constitute
"covered employees" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and granting stock options, "Compensation
Committee" as used in this summary description of the Stock Option Plan means a
sub-committee of the Compensation Committee members who qualify as both a
"Non-Employee Director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as an "outside director" within
the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, and such performance goals and stock
option grants shall be subject to ratification by the unanimous approval of all
members of the Compensation Committee and further ratification by Capstar
Broadcasting's Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee has authority,
subject to the terms of the Stock Option Plan (including the formula grant
provisions and the provisions relating to incentive stock options contained
therein), to determine when and to whom to make grants or awards under the Stock
Option Plan, the number of shares to be covered by the grants or awards, the
types and terms of the grants and awards, and the exercise price of stock
options. Moreover, the Compensation Committee has the authority, subject to the
provisions of the Stock Option Plan, to establish such rules and regulations as
it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Stock Option Plan and to
make such determinations and interpretations and to take such action in
connection with the Stock Option Plan and any grants and awards thereunder as it
deems necessary or advisable. The Compensation Committee's determinations and
interpretations under the Stock Option Plan are final, binding and conclusive on
all participants and need not be uniform and may be made by the Compensation
Committee selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive,
grants and awards under the Stock Option Plan.
Grants of "incentive stock options" within the meaning of section 422 of
the Code and non-qualified stock options (options which do not qualify under
section 422 of the Code) may be made under the Stock Option Plan to key
employees. Grants of non-qualified stock options may be made to eligible
non-employees.
The exercise price per share of Class A Common Stock under each option is
fixed by the Compensation Committee on the date of grant; provided, however,
that the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a person who, at
the time of grant, owns shares of Capstar Broadcasting possessing more than 10%
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Capstar
Broadcasting may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of
Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. No option is exercisable after the
expiration of ten years from the date of grant, unless, as to any non-qualified
stock option, otherwise expressly provided in the option agreement; provided,
however, that no incentive stock option granted to a person who, at the time of
grant, owns stock of Capstar Broadcasting possessing more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of Capstar Broadcasting is
exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant.
In the event of a change of control or sale of Capstar Broadcasting, all
outstanding stock options may, subject to the sole discretion of the
Compensation Committee, become exercisable in full at such time or times as the
Compensation Committee may determine. Each stock option accelerated by the
Compensation Committee shall terminate on such date (not later than the stated
exercise date) as the Compensation Committee determines.
Unless an option or other agreement provides otherwise, upon the date of
death of an optionee (or upon the termination of an optionee because of such
optionee's disability), the person who acquires the right to exercise the option
of such optionee (or the optionee in the case of disability) must exercise such
option within 180 days after the date of death (or termination in the case of
disability), unless a longer period is expressly
61
<PAGE> 63
provided in such incentive stock option or a shorter period is established by
the Compensation Committee, but in no event after the expiration date of such
option. Following an optionee's termination of employment for cause, all stock
options held by such optionee will immediately be canceled as of the date of
termination of employment. Following an optionee's termination of employment for
other than cause, such optionee must exercise his stock option within 30 days
after the date of such termination, unless a longer period is expressly provided
in such stock option or other agreement or a shorter period is established by
the Compensation Committee, provided that no incentive stock option shall be
exercisable more than three months after such termination.
The option exercise price may be paid in cash, or, in the discretion of the
compensation committee, by the delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock then
owned by the participant, or by a combination of these methods. Also, in the
discretion of the Compensation Committee, payment may be made by delivering a
properly executed exercise notice to Capstar Broadcasting together with a copy
of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to Capstar
Broadcasting the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price.
The Stock Option Plan has been amended to provide that, upon the
consummation of the merger with Chancellor Media, with respect to any
outstanding options, if on or before the second anniversary of the consummation
of the merger, the employment of an optionee is terminated (other than for
cause, voluntary resignation, death or disability) or an optionee resigns after
a material diminution of their duties, the optionee's options will vest in full
and the options may be exercised until the termination of the option.
WARRANTS
Under the terms of a stockholders agreement, Capstar Broadcasting has
granted the following five warrants to R. Steven Hicks:
- Amended and Restated Warrant dated April 1, 1998, immediately exercisable
to purchase up to 744,000 shares of Class C Common Stock and exercisable
to purchase up to an additional 186,000 shares on the earlier to occur of
June 30, 2001 or immediately preceding a Sale of the Company, as defined
below, if R. Steven Hicks is then employed in any capacity with Capstar
Broadcasting, for a per share exercise price of $14.40. A "Sale of the
Company" means a capital reorganization in which
(1) the stockholders of Capstar Broadcasting receive cash consideration
for each share of Common Stock held by such stockholder that, when
added to any cash consideration attributable to any prior capital
reorganization, equals or exceeds the Qualifying Cash Consideration,
as defined below;
(2) a majority of directors of the purchaser or surviving entity in such
capital reorganization consists of persons who are not Continuing
Directors, as defined below; and
(3) such purchaser or surviving entity is not an affiliate of Hicks Muse;
- Amended and Restated Warrant dated April 1, 1998, immediately exercisable
to purchase up to 204,254 shares of Class C Common Stock and exercisable
to purchase up to an additional 51,063 shares on the earlier to occur of

per share exercise price of $15.40;
- Amended and Restated Warrant dated April 1, 1998, immediately exercisable
to purchase up to 98,797 shares of Class C Common Stock and exercisable
to purchase up to an additional 224,323 shares on the earlier to occur of

Hicks is then employed in any capacity with Capstar Broadcasting, for a
per share exercise price of $18.10;
62
<PAGE> 64
- Warrant dated April 1, 1998, exercisable to purchase up to 187,969 shares
of Class C Common Stock on the earlier to occur of June 30, 2001 or
immediately preceding a Sale of the Company for a per share exercise
price of $17.10; and
- Warrant dated April 1, 1998, exercisable to purchase up to 500,000 shares
of Class C Common Stock for a per share exercise price of $14.00 if the
fair market value of the Class A Common Stock, calculated on a daily
basis, equals or exceeds $60.00 per share for a period of 180 consecutive
days during the period commencing on April 1, 1998 and ending on May 31,
2003. Subject to certain exceptions, after the warrant becomes
exercisable, the warrant may be exercised from time to time until, and
including, the later to occur of May 31, 2003 and the 90th day after the
warrant becomes exercisable. Twenty percent of the shares of Class C
Common Stock issuable pursuant to the warrant vest on the first
anniversary date of the warrant, and 1/60th of such shares of Class C
Common Stock vest on the last day of each calendar month thereafter. If a
Sale of the Company is completed, then the shares of Class C Common Stock
issuable pursuant to the warrant fully vest and become exercisable
immediately prior to the consummation of the Sale of the Company.
Such warrants terminate upon either a Sale of the Company or a capital
reorganization in which:
- the stockholders of Capstar Broadcasting receive only cash consideration
for each share of Common Stock held by such stockholder that is less than
the Qualifying Cash Consideration;
- a majority of directors of the purchaser or surviving entity in such
capital reorganization consists of persons who are not either members of
the Board of Directors of Capstar Broadcasting immediately prior to the
capital reorganization or designees of Hicks Muse and its affiliates
("Continuing Directors"); and
- such purchaser or surviving entity is not an affiliate of Hicks Muse.
"Qualifying Cash Consideration" means cash consideration for each share of
Common Stock received pursuant to a capital reorganization that equals or
exceeds the lesser of
- $60.00 per share or
- the greater of
(1) a per share amount equal to $14.00 compounded at an annual rate of 30%
for the period from April 3, 1998 to the end of the calendar month
immediately preceding the consummation of such capital reorganization
or
(2) $19.00 per share compounded at an annual rate of 20% for the period
commencing on May 26, 1998 and ending on the last day of the calendar
month immediately preceding the consummation of such capital
reorganization.
William S. Banowsky, Jr., Paul D. Stone and D. Geoffrey Armstrong were also
granted warrants (together with the warrants granted to R. Steven Hicks, the
"Warrants"), in April 1998 for Messrs. Banowsky and Stone and in July 1998 for
Mr. Armstrong, to purchase up to 150,000 shares, 150,000 shares and 200,000
shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $14.00 per
share. Except as to vesting upon consummation of the merger with Chancellor
Media, the terms of these warrants are the same as the terms of the fifth
warrant granted to R. Steven Hicks.
Each Warrant also contains provisions addressing the vesting and
exercisability of such Warrant under various events of termination of employment
of the grantee.
Upon the consummation of the merger of Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor
Media, each Warrant, other than the fifth Warrant granted to R. Steven Hicks,
will fully vest and be exercisable until the earlier to occur of May 31, 2003 or
a Sale of the Company. R. Steven Hicks' fifth Warrant will vest upon the
63
<PAGE> 65
consummation of the merger and will become exercisable only if on or before May
31, 2003, either of the following occurs:
- the fair market value of the voting common stock of the combined entity,
calculated on a daily basis, equals or exceeds $60.00 per share for a
period of 180 consecutive days during the period commencing on April 1,
1998 and ending on May 31, 2003; or
- a Sale of the Company.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
Capstar Broadcasting's Certificate of Incorporation provides that no
director of Capstar Broadcasting shall be personally liable to Capstar
Broadcasting or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to Capstar Broadcasting or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments
or stock redemptions or purchases or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. The effect of these provisions is
to eliminate the rights of Capstar Broadcasting and its stockholders (through
stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of Capstar Broadcasting) to recover
monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
(including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior), except in the
situations described above.
Capstar Broadcasting has entered into indemnification agreements with each
of its directors and executive officers under which Capstar Broadcasting will
indemnify the director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law, and to
advance expenses, if the director or officer becomes a party to or witness or
other participant in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding (a "Claim") by reason of any occurrence related to the fact that the
person is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of Capstar
Broadcasting or another entity at Capstar Broadcasting's request (an
"Indemnifiable Event"), unless a reviewing party (either outside counsel or a
committee appointed by the Board of Directors) determines that the person would
not be entitled to indemnification under applicable law. In addition, if a
change in control or a potential change in control of Capstar Broadcasting
occurs and if the person indemnified so requests, Capstar Broadcasting will
establish a trust for the benefit of the indemnitee and fund the trust in an
amount sufficient to satisfy all expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of
the request to be incurred in connection with any Claim relating to an
Indemnifiable Event. The reviewing party will determine the amount deposited in
the trust. An indemnitee's rights under his indemnification agreement will not
be exclusive of any other rights under Capstar Broadcasting's Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws or applicable law.
Capstar Broadcasting believes that these provisions and agreements will
assist Capstar Broadcasting in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to
serve as directors and officers.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
CHANCELLOR MERGER
See "Item 1. Business -- The Transactions -- Chancellor Merger" for a
description of the proposed merger of Chancellor Media and Capstar Broadcasting.
The employment agreements with R. Steven Hicks, William S. Banowsky, Jr.,
Paul D. Stone and D. Geoffrey Armstrong were amended to provide that, upon
consummation of the merger with Chancellor Media, each such executive's
outstanding options and warrants, other than Mr. Hicks' warrant to purchase
500,000 shares of Class C Common Stock, will fully vest and be exercisable, in
the case of the options, until the expiration of the options in accordance with
their terms without regard to any termination of employment provisions contained
therein and, in the case of the warrants, until the earlier to occur of May 31,
2003 or a Sale of the Company. Mr. Hicks' warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of
Class C Common Stock will vest upon the consummation of the merger and will
become exercisable only if on or before May 31, 2003, either of the following
occurs:
- the fair market value of the voting common stock of the combined entity,
calculated on a daily basis, equals or exceeds $60.00 per share for a
period of 180 consecutive days during the period commencing on April 1,
1998 and ending on May 31, 2003; or
- a Sale of the Company.
As of March 1, 1999, Mr. Hicks had options to acquire 169,998 shares of
Class A Common Stock and warrants to acquire 930,000, 255,317, 323,120, and
187,969 shares of Class C Common Stock. As of March 1, 1999, Mr. Banowsky and
Mr. Stone each had options to acquire 169,998 shares of Class A Common Stock
67
<PAGE> 69
and a warrant to acquire 150,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. As of March 1,
1999, Mr. Armstrong had options to acquire 100,000 shares and a warrant to
acquire 200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.
In connection with the merger with Chancellor Media, R. Steven Hicks'
employment agreement with Capstar Broadcasting will terminate and Chancellor
Media will enter into a new five year employment agreement with Mr. Hicks. Mr.
Hicks will serve as the vice chairman of the board of directors of the combined
entity. Mr. Hick's base salary will be $600,000 per year. If the combined
company terminates Mr. Hicks' employment for other than cause or Mr. Hicks'
terminates his employment for good reason prior to the first anniversary of such
agreement, the employment agreement will provide a lump sum payment of Mr.
Hicks' unpaid base salary for the remainder of the year. In addition, if the
combined company terminates his employment for good reason or other than for
cause Mr. Hicks' warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of Class C Common Stock will
become immediately vested and exercisable.
The merger agreement between Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media
provides that Mr. Hicks, Mr. Banowsky, Mr. Stone and Mr. Armstrong will receive
a lump sum payment of $1,500,000, $600,000, $600,000 and $300,000, respectively,
if immediately before the merger, each is employed by Capstar Broadcasting.
In March 1999, Mr. Hicks was appointed Vice Chairman of Chancellor Media
and President and Chief Executive Officer of Chancellor Media's media services
group. In addition, in March 1999, Mr. Banowsky and Mr. Armstrong were appointed
Executive Vice President and General Counsel and Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of Chancellor Media.
CHANCELLOR EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
On February 20, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media entered
into an exchange agreement pursuant to which Chancellor Media would acquire
stations KTXQ-FM and KBFB-FM in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas, KODA-FM, KKRW-FM and
KQUE-AM in Houston, Texas, KPLN-FM and KYXY-FM in San Diego, California, and
WVTY-FM, WJJJ-FM, WXDX-FM and WDVE-FM in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (collectively
the "Chancellor Exchange Stations") for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $637.5 million in a series of purchases and exchanges over a three
year period ending February 20, 2001. The Chancellor Exchange Stations were
acquired by Capstar Broadcasting in connection with the acquisition of SFX
Broadcasting, Inc. in May 1998. On May 29, 1998, as part of the SFX acquisition,
Chancellor Media exchanged stations WAPE-FM and WFYV-FM in Jacksonville, Florida
(valued at $53.0 million) plus approximately $90.3 million in cash to Capstar
Broadcasting in exchange for station KODA-FM in Houston, Texas. In the case of
the remaining Chancellor Exchange Stations, Capstar Broadcasting will identify
mid-sized radio stations for exchange with Chancellor Media. The purchase price
for the remaining ten Chancellor Exchange Stations will be approximately $494.3
million. Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media intend for such exchanges to
qualify as like-kind exchanges. Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media are
currently assessing whether the terms of the exchange agreement will be modified
upon consummation of the merger with Chancellor Media. During the pendency of
the Chancellor Merger, the Company does not anticipate effecting any exchanges
with Chancellor Media.
Chancellor Media is providing services to the Chancellor Exchange Stations,
other than KODA-FM which was purchased by Chancellor Media, pursuant to separate
LMAs until such stations are exchanged. Chancellor Media will retain the
advertising revenues it generates while it provides services to the Chancellor
Exchange Stations under such LMAs. During 1998, Capstar Broadcasting received
approximately $28.8 million in LMA fees from Chancellor Media. During 1999, the
Company expects to receive approximately $49.4 in LMA fees, subject to
Chancellor Media's acquisition of one or more of the Chancellor Exchange
stations in 1999. The LMA fees will decrease as each Chancellor Exchange Station
is exchanged.
Pursuant to the exchange agreement, on May 29, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting
paid approximately $1.7 million (net of prorations and expenses) to Chancellor
Media. Capstar Broadcasting had agreed to sell station KKPN-FM for $54.0
million. Chancellor Media was entitled to 50% of the sale proceeds in excess of
$50.0 million.

CHANCELLOR NOTE
In May 1998, Capstar Broadcasting borrowed $150.0 million from Chancellor
Media. The loan ranks pari passu in right of payment to Capstar Broadcasting's
guaranty of the indebtedness under its credit facility. In addition, Capstar
Broadcasting has pledged the common stock of Capstar Partners on a first
priority basis to Chancellor Media as security for the loan.
Interest on the loan accrues at a rate of 12% per annum and is payable
quarterly, of which 5/6 is payable in cash and 1/6 is, at Capstar Broadcasting's
option, either be payable in cash or added to the principal amount of the loan.
Capstar Broadcasting may elect to defer the payment of the cash portion of any
interest due until the earlier to occur of Capstar Broadcasting's election to
pay the cash portion in full, a required mandatory prepayment of the loan or the
maturity of the loan (a "Deferral Election"). In the event of a Deferral
Election, the interest rate will increase, effective as of the first day of the
fiscal quarter in which such Deferral Election occurred, from 12% to 14% per
annum, of which 6/7 shall be payable in cash and 1/7 shall, at Capstar
Broadcasting's option, either be payable in cash or added to the principal
amount of the loan. If Capstar Broadcasting has not completed acquisitions
during the exchange period (excluding (i) the sale by Chancellor Media of
stations WAPE-FM and WFYV-FM in Jacksonville, Florida plus $90.25 million in
cash to Capstar Broadcasting in exchange for station KODA-FM in Houston, Texas
and (ii) the acquisition of stations KVET-AM, KASE-FM and KVET-FM in Austin,
Texas) (x) with an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million by May 29, 1999,
(y) with an aggregate purchase price of $200.0 million by May 29, 2000, and (z)
with an aggregate purchase price of $300.0 million by May 29, 2001, the interest
rate applicable from time to time during each such previous 12-month period will
be retroactively increased by 2% per annum. If, as a result of the foregoing
sentence, during any period ending on an interest payment date the loan accrued
interest at (x) a rate per annum of 14%, the interest payment made on such
interest payment date shall be retroactively adjusted as of such interest
payment date so that the portion of such interest payment added to the principal
of the loan shall equal 1/7 and the portion of such interest payment paid in
cash shall equal 6/7, or (y) a rate per annum of 16%, the interest payment made
on such interest payment date shall be retroactively adjusted as of such
interest payment date so that the portion of such interest payment added to
principal of the loan shall equal 1/8 and the portion of such interest payment
paid in cash shall equal 7/8. Any amount due and accruing which is in cash and
is so added to the principal amount of the loan shall bear interest at the rate
otherwise applicable to the principal amount of the loan. In 1998, Capstar
Broadcasting did not make a Deferral Election and paid approximately $10.6
million in interest to Chancellor Media. During the pendency of the merger with
Chancellor Media, Capstar Broadcasting does not anticipate exchanging any
stations with Chancellor Media.
Capstar Broadcasting may prepay the loan at anytime; provided, that any
prepayment shall not affect the rights of Chancellor Media to require
prepayment. Chancellor Media has the right to require Capstar Broadcasting to
prepay that portion of the loan equal to 50% of the cash purchase price payable
for Capstar Exchange Stations, upon the consummation of the purchase of a
Chancellor Exchange Station under a purchase agreement as contemplated under the
exchange agreement with Chancellor Media. Chancellor Media also has the option
to require Capstar Broadcasting to prepay any remaining portion of the loan
(including accrued interest) if Chancellor Media has given notice of prepayment
on the first to occur of (i) 30 days prior to the closing of the transfer of the
final Chancellor Exchange Station and (ii) Chancellor Media's election under the
Chancellor Exchange Agreement to purchase all remaining Chancellor Exchange
Stations for cash, in either case, such prepayment to occur on the closing of
the acquisitions referred to in clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, above. If a
Deferral Election occurs during the 12-month period commencing on the date of
issuance of the loan and ending on the anniversary thereof or during any
successive 12-month period, and (x) during such 12-month period Capstar
Broadcasting and Chancellor Media exchange a Capstar Exchange Station for a
Chancellor Exchange Station, and (y) Chancellor Media required Capstar
Broadcasting to prepay a portion of the loan in connection with such exchange,
the prepayment amount set forth in the third sentence of this paragraph with
respect to such Capstar Exchange Station will be increased to equal (x) 50% of
the purchase price therefore plus (y) the product of 50% of the purchase price
therefore multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days
of such Deferral Election existing during such
69
<PAGE> 71
12-month period and the denominator of which is 360. Any additional amounts
payable as a result of the foregoing sentence must be paid within 10 days
following the end of the applicable 12-month period.
Subject to certain exceptions, if Capstar Broadcasting acquires stations
during the Exchange Period that are not acquired in compliance with the
procedures set forth in the Chancellor Exchange Agreement (excluding those
stations identified in the loan) (a "Non-Exchange Acquisition"), Chancellor
Media has the right to require Capstar Broadcasting to prepay, at the closing of
any such Non-Exchange Acquisition, that portion of the loan equal to 100% of the
amount that Capstar Broadcasting pays in such Non-Exchange Acquisitions. If
Capstar Broadcasting terminates the Chancellor Exchange Agreement or any
definitive purchase agreement with respect to Capstar Exchange Stations, Capstar
Broadcasting will be required to prepay the loan.
Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness. The loan provides that Capstar
Broadcasting may not, and may not permit any of its subsidiaries to incur,
create or assume indebtedness after the date of the loan, if, on the date of and
after giving effect to the incurrence of any such indebtedness, the ratio of
consolidated indebtedness on a pro forma basis to consolidated EBITDA would
exceed 9.0 to 1. The aggregate liquidation preference of all preferred stock of
Capstar Broadcasting and its subsidiaries is indebtedness for purposes of
calculating such ratio. The ratio calculation must be made in a manner
consistent with the leverage ratio calculation made under Capstar Broadcasting's
credit facility, provided that Capstar Broadcasting was entitled during 1998 to
include in EBITDA at least $10.0 million in net revenues from The AMFM Radio
Networks (whether or not such amounts were actually received). In addition,
borrowings under Capstar Broadcasting's credit facility do not count as
indebtedness in the ratio calculation except to the extent such borrowings
exceed $50.0 million.
Restricted Payments. The loan provides that Capstar Broadcasting may not
(i) declare or made payments, dividends or other distributions on all securities
of Capstar Broadcasting that are junior in right of payment of interest,
dividends, distributions or dissolution or liquidation payments or (ii)
purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire any securities of Capstar
Broadcasting that are junior in right of payment of interest, dividends,
distributions or dissolution or liquidation payments. Any payments described in
the previous sentence will be deemed a restricted payment for purposes of the
loan. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph, Capstar Broadcasting
is allowed to (i) make timely payments on the loan and (ii) make restricted
payments in an aggregate amount equal to $10.0 million.
MONITORING AND OVERSIGHT AGREEMENTS
Capstar Broadcasting Monitoring and Oversight Agreement. Capstar
Broadcasting is subject to a monitoring and oversight agreement (the "Capstar
Broadcasting Monitoring and Oversight Agreement") with Hicks, Muse & Co.
Partners, L.P., an affiliate of Hicks Muse ("Hicks Muse Partners"). Capstar
Broadcasting agreed to pay to Hicks Muse Partners an annual fee for ongoing
financial oversight and monitoring services. The annual fee is adjustable upward
or downward at the end of each fiscal year to an amount equal to 0.2% of the
budgeted consolidated annual net sales of the Company for the then-current
fiscal year; provided, that such fee may not at any time be less than $100,000
per year. The annual fee will be reduced by the amount previously paid for such
period by Capstar Partners under the Capstar Partners Monitoring and Oversight
Agreement as defined below. Capstar Broadcasting will indemnify Hicks Muse
Partners, its affiliates and shareholders, and their respective directors,
officers, agents, employees and affiliates from and against all claims, actions,
proceedings, demands, liabilities, damages, judgments, assessments, losses and
costs, including fees and expenses, arising out of or in connection with the
services rendered by Hicks Muse Partners in connection with the Capstar
Broadcasting Monitoring and Oversight Agreement. Capstar Broadcasting was not
required to pay Hicks Muse Partners any monitoring and oversight fees in 1998.
The Capstar Broadcasting Monitoring and Oversight Agreement makes available
on an ongoing basis the resources of Hicks Muse Partners concerning a variety of
financial matters. The services that have been and will continue to be provided
by Hicks Muse Partners could not otherwise be obtained by Capstar Broadcasting
without the addition of personnel or the engagement of outside professional
advisors. The Capstar Broadcasting Monitoring and Oversight Agreement expires on
the earlier to occur of July 1, 2007, or the date on which
70
<PAGE> 72
HM Fund III and its affiliates cease to own beneficially, directly or
indirectly, any securities of Capstar Broadcasting or its successors.
Capstar Partners Monitoring and Oversight Agreement. Capstar Partners is
subject to a monitoring and oversight agreement (the "Capstar Partners
Monitoring and Oversight Agreement") with Hicks Muse Partners. Capstar Partners
agreed to pay to Hicks Muse Partners an annual fee for ongoing financial
oversight and monitoring services. The annual fee is adjustable upward or
downward at the end of each fiscal year to an amount equal to 0.2% of the
budgeted consolidated annual net sales of Capstar Partners for the then-current
fiscal year; provided, that such fee may not at any time be less than $100,000
per year. For the year ended December 31, 1998, Capstar Partners had paid Hicks
Muse Partners approximately $819,000 of monitoring and oversight fees. As of
December 31, 1998, Capstar Partners had no outstanding obligation to Hicks Muse
under the Capstar Partners Monitoring and Oversight Agreement. The Capstar
Partners Monitoring and Oversight Agreement expires on the earlier to occur of
October 16, 2006, or the date on which HM Fund III and its affiliates cease to
own beneficially, directly or indirectly, any securities of Capstar Partners or
its successors. The remainder of the terms of the Capstar Partners Monitoring
and Oversight Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the Capstar
Broadcasting Monitoring and Oversight Agreement.
Upon the consummation of the merger with Chancellor Media, the Capstar
Broadcasting Monitoring and Oversight Agreement and the Capstar Partners
Monitoring and Oversight Agreement will terminate and Capstar Broadcasting will
pay to Hicks Muse Partners at the closing a one-time cash payment of
approximately $14.2 million.
FINANCIAL ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Capstar Broadcasting Financial Advisory Agreement. Capstar Broadcasting is
subject to a financial advisory agreement (the "Capstar Broadcasting Financial
Advisory Agreement") with Hicks Muse Partners. Hicks Muse Partners is entitled
to receive a fee equal to 1.5% of the transaction value, as defined below, for
each add-on transaction, as defined below, in which Capstar Broadcasting is
involved. "Transaction value" means the total value of any add-on transaction,
including, without limitation, the aggregate amount of the funds required to
complete the add-on transaction (excluding any fees payable pursuant to the
Capstar Broadcasting Financial Advisory Agreement, but including the amount of
any indebtedness, preferred stock or similar items assumed or remaining
outstanding). The term "add-on transaction" means any future proposal for a
tender offer, acquisition, sale, merger, exchange offer, recapitalization,
restructuring, or other similar transaction directly or indirectly involving
Capstar Broadcasting, excluding Capstar Partners and its direct or indirect
subsidiaries, and any other person or entity. Capstar Broadcasting will
indemnify Hicks Muse Partners, its affiliates and partners, and their respective
directors, officers, agents, employees and affiliates from and against all
claims, actions, proceedings, demands, liabilities, damages, judgments,
assessments, losses and costs, including fees and expenses, arising out of or in
connection with the services rendered by Hicks Muse Partners in connection with
the Capstar Broadcasting Financial Advisory Agreement.
Under the Capstar Broadcasting Financial Advisory Agreement, Hicks Muse
Partners provides investment banking, financial advisory and other similar
services with respect to the add-on transactions in which Capstar Broadcasting
is involved. Such transactions require additional attention beyond that required
to monitor and advise Capstar Broadcasting on an ongoing basis and accordingly
Capstar Broadcasting pays separate advisory fees with respect to such matters in
addition to those paid in connection with the Capstar Broadcasting Monitoring
and Oversight Agreement. The services that have been and will continue to be
provided by Hicks Muse Partners could not otherwise be obtained by Capstar
Broadcasting without the addition of personnel or the engagement of outside
professional advisors. The Capstar Broadcasting Financial Advisory Agreement
will terminate concurrently with the termination of the Capstar Broadcasting
Monitoring and Oversight Agreement.
Capstar Partners Financial Advisory Agreement. Capstar Partners is subject
to a financial advisory agreement (the "Capstar Partners Financial Advisory
Agreement") with Hicks Muse Partners. The terms of the Capstar Partners
Financial Advisory Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the
Capstar Broadcasting Financial Advisory Agreement.
71
<PAGE> 73
For the year ending December 31, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting has paid Hicks
Muse Partners financial advisory fees of approximately $49.5 million.

effective purchase price of $8.5 million, subject only to FCC approval of such
transfer. R. Steven Hicks is currently indebted to Capstar Broadcasting in the
aggregate principal amount of $8.5 million in connection with a letter of credit
that R. Steven Hicks used to acquire the Construction Permit. Bankers Trust
Company issued a letter of credit on February 10, 1998, for the account of R.
Steven Hicks that was used to satisfy R. Steven Hicks' obligations pursuant to a
Settlement Agreement dated as of January 30, 1998, by and among R. Steven Hicks,
Elinor Lewis Stephens, Grass Roots Radio, Inc., and August Communications Group,
Inc. with respect to multiple applications on file with the FCC for the
Construction Permit and to obtain the Construction Permit in R. Steven Hicks'
name. Elinor Lewis Stephens, Grass Roots Radio, Inc., and August Communications
Group, Inc. are independent third parties and the $8.5 million settlement
payment by R. Steven Hicks to these persons was determined on an arms-length
basis. Subsequent to the issuance of the

Construction Permit to R. Steven Hicks, Capstar Broadcasting purchased the $8.5
million letter of credit reimbursement obligations owing from R. Steven Hicks to
Bankers Trust Company, in its capacity as the issuer of such letter of credit,
under a Guaranty and Purchase Agreement dated as of February 10, 1998, between
Capstar Radio and Bankers Trust Company, which agreement was assigned by Capstar
Radio to Capstar Broadcasting. The $8.5 million indebtedness of R. Stevens Hicks
currently owing to Capstar Broadcasting as a result of the above described
transactions will be satisfied upon the transfer of the Construction Permit to
Capstar Broadcasting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Capstar Broadcasting Corporation
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Capstar Broadcasting Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

CAPSTAR BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS:
Capstar Broadcasting Corporation ("Capstar Broadcasting"), a holding
company controlled by Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Equity Fund III, L.P. ("HM Fund
III") and its affiliates, and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries
(collectively, "the Company") operate in a single reportable industry segment,
which segment encompasses the ownership and management of radio broadcast
stations located primarily in mid-sized markets throughout the United States. At
December 31, 1998, the Company owned and operated, provided programming to or
sold advertising on behalf of 220 FM stations and 97 AM stations located in 78
markets.
In June 1997, Capstar Broadcasting was formed and exchanged all of its
shares of common stock for all of the outstanding common stock of Capstar
Broadcasting Partners, Inc. ("Capstar Partners"). The transaction resulted in
the formation of a new holding company and resulted in no change in ownership
and was accounted for as a reorganization at historical cost. After this
transaction was completed Capstar Broadcasting owned 100% of the common equity
of Capstar Partners and Capstar Partners owned 100% of the common equity of
Capstar Radio Broadcasting Partners, Inc. ("Capstar Radio").
On October 16, 1996, Capstar Partners acquired Capstar Radio and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries pursuant to a merger agreement dated June 21, 1996.
The acquisition of Capstar Radio has been accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting and has been included in the consolidated financial
statements since the date of its acquisition on October 16, 1996.
In July 1997, the Company acquired GulfStar Communications, Inc. ("Former
GulfStar"), a company controlled by the general partner of HM Fund III. Pursuant
to the merger agreement, each share of Former GulfStar's common stock was
converted into shares of the Company subject to a conversion ratio calculated
based on the relative value of the Company and Former GulfStar, principally
determined by utilizing projected broadcast cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1998. As a result of the merger, Former GulfStar became a
wholly-owned subsidiary. Due to the fact that the Company and Former GulfStar
were under common control at the time of the merger, the transfer of the assets
and liabilities of Former GulfStar has been accounted for at historical cost in
a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests except that the acquisition by the
Company of the minority interest of Former GulfStar has been accounted for by
the purchase method. For financial accounting purposes the merger with Former
GulfStar resulted in a change in reporting entity and the restatement of the
financial statements for all periods prior to July 1997, to give retroactive
effect to the merger and present the combined consolidated results of operations
of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and Former
GulfStar for the periods the entities were under common control.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2006 (the "10 3/4% CCI Notes")
and the 11 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2000 (the "11 3/8% CCI Notes") are
guaranteed by every direct and indirect subsidiary of Capstar Communications,
Inc. ("CCI"). The guarantees by the guarantor subsidiaries are full,
unconditional, and joint and several. All of the guarantor subsidiaries are
wholly-owned. CCI is a holding company with no assets, liabilities or operations
other than its investment in its subsidiaries. Separate financial statements of
each guarantor have not been included as management has determined that they are
not material to investors.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows, the
Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities at date of purchase
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Equipment under capital lease obligations is recorded at the
lower of cost or fair market value at the inception of the lease. The costs of
assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation
and amortization balances are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain
or loss is included in income. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the related leases. Amortization
of assets recorded under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.
F-9
<PAGE> 91
CAPSTAR BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Intangible Assets
FCC licenses and goodwill represent the excess of cost over the fair values
of the identifiable tangible and other intangible net assets acquired. Other
intangible assets comprise costs incurred for pending acquisitions, noncompete
agreements, deferred financing costs and costs related to favorable tower and
facility leases. Pending acquisition costs are deferred and capitalized as part
of completed acquisitions or expensed in the period in which the pending
acquisition is terminated. Approximately $2,936, $25,169 and $8,887 of new
financing costs were incurred for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and
1998, respectively. Deferred financing costs are amortized by the interest
method over the life of the related debt. Accumulated amortization related to
deferred financing costs at December 31, 1997 and 1998 was approximately $1,209
and $2,366, respectively.
The Company periodically evaluates intangible and other long-lived assets
for potential impairment in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion 17,
"Intangible Assets," and SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," by analyzing the
operating results, future cash flows on an undiscounted basis, trends and
prospects of the Company's stations, as well as by comparing them to their
competitors. The Company also takes into consideration recent acquisition
patterns within the broadcast industry, the impact of recently enacted or
potential FCC rules and regulations and any other events or circumstances which
might indicate potential impact. At this time, in the opinion of management, no
impairment has occurred.
Exchange of Radio Stations
The Company records the exchange of radio stations in accordance with APB
Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations". The net book value of the station given
up is removed from the accounts and the station received is recorded at fair
value, with any resulting gain or loss included in results of operations.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts at each period-end based on enacted tax laws and
statutory tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable earnings. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be
realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change
during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Stock Subscriptions Receivable
Stock subscriptions receivable represent promissory notes issued in
connection with the purchase of capital stock. Capital stock issued in
connection with such promissory notes is reported as issued and outstanding and
included in capital stock and additional paid-in capital in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements in the amount of the related promissory note
plus accrued interest. The promissory notes and related accrued interest
receivable are classified as stock subscriptions receivable and included as a
reduction of consolidated stockholder's equity.
Revenue Recognition
Broadcasting operations derive revenue primarily from the sale of program
time and commercial announcements to local, regional and national advertisers.
Revenue is recognized when the programs and commercial announcements are
broadcast.

Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share ("EPS") under the provisions of
SFAS No. 128 which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings
per share.
At December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, the following options and warrants to
purchase shares of common stock were outstanding, but were excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive given the Company's net loss:

Weighted-average exercise price............................ $13.14 $13.58 $15.71
</TABLE>
Advertising Costs
The Company incurs various marketing and promotional costs to add and
maintain listenership. These are expensed as incurred and totaled approximately
$2,668, $5,731 and $27,990 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.
Local Marketing Agreements ("LMA")/Joint Sales Agreements ("JSA")
From time to time, the Company enters into LMAs and JSAs, with respect to
radio stations owned by third parties including radio stations that it intends
to acquire. Terms of the agreements generally require the Company to pay a
monthly fee in exchange for the right to provide station programming and sell
related advertising time in the case of an LMA or sell advertising in the case
of a JSA. The agreements terminate upon the acquisition of the property. It is
the Company's policy to expense the fees as incurred as a component of operating
income (loss). The Company accounts for payments received pursuant to LMAs of
owned stations as net revenue to the extent that the payment received represents
a reimbursement of the Company's ownership costs.
Barter Transactions
The Company barters advertising time for products and services. Such
transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value of the products or
services received. Barter revenue is recorded when commercials are broadcast and
related expenses are recorded when the bartered product or service is used.
Concentration of Credit Risk
It is the Company's policy to place its cash with high credit quality
financial institutions, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
Management believes that credit risk in these deposits is minimal and has not
experienced any losses in such accounts.
The Company's revenue and accounts receivable primarily relates to
advertising of products and services within the radio stations' broadcast areas.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. Credit
losses have been within management's expectations and adequate allowances for
any uncollectible accounts receivables are maintained.

CAPSTAR BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Uncertainties and Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The radio broadcasting industry is subject to federal regulation by the
Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). These governmental regulations and
policies could change over time and there can be no assurance that such changes
would not have a material impact upon the Company.
The Company's pending acquisition, exchange and merger agreements are
subject to various governmental approvals, including the Department of Justice
under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and
the FCC under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information
In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 superseded SFAS No. 14,
"Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise," replacing the
"industry segment" approach with the "management" approach. The management
approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for
making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the
Company's reportable segments. SFAS No. 131 also requires disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The adoption of
SFAS No. 131 did not affect results of operations or financial position but did
affect the disclosure of segment information.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
This pronouncement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. Management does not believe the implementation of
this accounting pronouncement will have a material effect on its consolidated
financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in 1996 and 1997 have been reclassified to conform to the
1998 presentation.
3. CHANCELLOR MERGER AGREEMENT
On August 26, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media Corporation
("Chancellor Media"), an affiliate of the Company, entered into an agreement to
merge (the "Chancellor Merger") in a stock-for-stock transaction. Under the
merger agreement:
- Chancellor Media will acquire Capstar Broadcasting in a reverse merger in
which Capstar Broadcasting will be renamed Chancellor Media Corporation;
- each share of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock will
represent 0.4955 shares of voting common stock in the combined entity;
- each share of Class B Common Stock will represent 0.4955 shares of
nonvoting common stock of the combined entity;
- each share of Chancellor Media common stock will represent one share of
the combined entity; and
F-12
<PAGE> 94
CAPSTAR BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
- each share of Chancellor Media preferred stock will represent one share
of preferred stock of the combined entity.
The completion of the merger depends upon the satisfaction of a number of
conditions, including the following:
- stockholder approval of both Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media;
- the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which
waiting period has terminated;
- the receipt of regulatory approval from the FCC, which regulatory
approval has been received;
- the consent of the lenders under the Capstar Broadcasting credit facility
and Chancellor Media's credit facility; and
- other customary conditions.
There can be no assurance that all of the conditions to the merger will be
satisfied. Either company may waive compliance with the conditions at its
discretion if permitted by law.
On September 9, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting was notified of an action filed
on behalf of all owners of securities of Chancellor Media against Chancellor
Media, Hicks Muse and the individual directors of Hicks Muse in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, Delaware. While
the complaint does not name Capstar Broadcasting as a defendant, the complaint
alleges that Chancellor Media and its directors breached their duties to the
alleged class by entering into an "overly generous offer for Capstar assets."
The action is relevant to Capstar Broadcasting because inter alia, the plaintiff
seeks an injunction prohibiting the proposed Chancellor Merger with Capstar
Broadcasting. As Capstar Broadcasting is not a defendant in this action, Capstar
Broadcasting has no obligation to appear or participate.
4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING BY CAPSTAR BROADCASTING
On May 29, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting completed an initial public offering
(the "Offering") in which Capstar Broadcasting sold 31,000 shares of its Class A
Common Stock at $19.00 per share for net proceeds to Capstar Broadcasting of
$551,308 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering
expenses of $37,692. The shares sold by Capstar Broadcasting represented
approximately 28.8% of the outstanding shares of Capstar Broadcasting on May 29,
1998. Capstar Broadcasting contributed the net proceeds from the Offering to
Capstar Partners which then contributed the net proceeds from the Offering to
Capstar Radio. Capstar Radio used this contribution to fund a portion of the
acquisition of SFX Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SFX"), as
discussed in Note 5 below.
5. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF BROADCASTING PROPERTIES
SFX Acquisition and Related Transactions
On May 29, 1998, SBI Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("SFX
Parent"), acquired SFX, which has been renamed CCI. The acquisition was effected
through the merger (the "SFX Merger") of SBI Radio Acquisition Corporation, a
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFX Parent ("Sub"), with
and into SFX, with SFX as the surviving corporation. The acquisition of SFX by
SFX Parent resulted in a change of control of SFX. As a result of the SFX
Merger, SFX became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstar Radio. The
total consideration paid by the Company for SFX was approximately $1,300,000
(the "SFX Merger Consideration"), including direct costs of the acquisition.
Consummation of the SFX Merger and related transactions increased the Company's
portfolio of stations by 81 owned and
F-13

CAPSTAR BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
operated radio stations (60 FM and 21 AM) and two radio stations on which the
Company sells commercial time.
The SFX Merger and other related transactions, including (i) certain
station acquisitions and dispositions completed contemporaneously with the SFX
Merger (as discussed below), (ii) the repayment of outstanding indebtedness of
approximately $313,000 of SFX under the existing credit facility of SFX, (iii)
the redemption of approximately $154,000 aggregate principal amount of 10 3/4%
CCI Notes (as discussed in Note 10), and (iv) the redemption of approximately
$119,600 aggregate liquidation preference of CCI's 12 5/8% Series E Cumulative
Exchangeable Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share ("CCI Series E Preferred
Stock") (as discussed in Note 12), were financed with (A) the net proceeds from
the Offering, (B) borrowings of $590,600 (the "Capstar Loan") under the Capstar
Credit Facility (as defined in Note 10), (C) borrowings of $150,000 from
Chancellor Media, and (D) net proceeds of approximately $221,429 from sales of
certain assets.
On February 20, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media entered
into a Letter Agreement (the "Chancellor Exchange Agreement") pursuant to which
Capstar Broadcasting agreed to exchange 11 SFX stations in the Dallas, Houston,
San Diego and Pittsburgh markets ("Chancellor Exchange Stations") having an
aggregate deemed market value of $637,500 for certain stations to be acquired by
Chancellor Media during the three-year period ending February 20, 2001 (the
"Exchange Period"). SFX station KODA-FM, which is a Chancellor Exchange Station,
was exchanged for certain radio stations in the Austin, Texas and the
Jacksonville, Florida markets concurrently with the consummation of the SFX
Merger. The remaining Chancellor Exchange Stations will be exchanged for
mid-sized market radio stations to be identified by Capstar Broadcasting and
paid for by Chancellor Media. Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media intend
for the exchange transactions to qualify as like-kind exchanges under Section
1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Capstar
Broadcasting, however, bears all risks related to the tax treatment of the
exchanges. Capstar Broadcasting has agreed not to solicit, initiate or encourage
the submission of proposals for the acquisition of the Chancellor Exchange
Stations or to participate in any discussions for such purpose during the
Exchange Period, other than as contemplated under the Chancellor Exchange
Agreement. Concurrently with the consummation of the SFX Merger, Chancellor
Media began providing services to the Chancellor Exchange Stations (other than
KODA-FM, which was acquired, via an exchange of radio stations by Chancellor
Media) pursuant to separate local marketing agreements ("LMAs") until such
stations are exchanged. Chancellor Media retains the advertising revenues it
generates while it provides services to the Chancellor Exchange Stations under
such LMAs. The LMA fees earned by the Company will decrease as the Chancellor
Exchange Stations are exchanged. During the pendency of the Chancellor Merger,
the Company does not anticipate effecting any exchanges with Chancellor Media.
On May 21, 1998, SFX completed the acquisition of three radio stations (two
FM and one AM) in the Nashville, Tennessee market from Sinclair Broadcasting
Group for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $35,000 in cash (the
"Nashville Purchase Price"). SFX funded the Nashville Purchase Price with excess
cash on hand.
On May 29, 1998, CCI exchanged station KODA-FM in Houston, Texas for
Chancellor Media radio stations WAPE-FM and WFYV-FM in Jacksonville, Florida and
approximately $90,250 in cash (the "KODA Exchange"). In an exchange under
Section 1031 of the Code, the indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of CCI,
through a qualified intermediary, used the $90,250 in cash received from
Chancellor Media to acquire radio stations KASE-FM, KVET-AM and KVET-FM in
Austin, Texas. The deemed value of the KODA Exchange was $143,250.

(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
On May 29, 1998, due to governmental restrictions on multiple station
ownership, the Company completed the sale of the assets of four radio stations
(three FM and one AM) in the Greenville, South Carolina market for approximately
$35,000 in cash to Clear Channel Radio, Inc.
On May 29, 1998, due to governmental restrictions on multiple station
ownership, the Company assigned the assets of four radio stations (two FM and
two AM) in the Fairfield, Connecticut market with an aggregate fair market value
at such date of approximately $15,000 to a trust, whose trustee is Henry M.
Rivera (the "Trustee") and whose beneficiary is Capstar Broadcasting. The
Trustee is currently attempting to sell the stations to a third party. Upon a
sale, the Trustee will distribute the proceeds to the Company.
On May 29, 1998, due to governmental restrictions on multiple station
ownership, CCI completed the sale of the assets of one FM radio station in the
Daytona Beach, Florida market for consideration of approximately $11,500 in cash
to Clear Channel Metroplex, Inc. and Clear Channel Metroplex Licensee, Inc.
On May 29, 1998, due to governmental restrictions on multiple station
ownership, CCI completed the sale of the assets of four radio stations (three FM
and one AM) in the Long Island, New York market for an aggregate sale price of
$46,000 in cash to Cox Radio, Inc.
On May 29, 1998, due to governmental restrictions on multiple station
ownership, CCI completed the sale of the assets of one FM radio station in the
Houston, Texas market for $54,000 in cash to HBC Houston, Inc. and HBC Houston
License Corporation. Pursuant to an agreement with Chancellor Media, CCI paid
50% of the sale proceeds in excess of $50,000, approximately $1,730, to
Chancellor Media.
Other Acquisitions and Dispositions
In addition to the SFX Merger and other related transactions described
above, during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company
acquired numerous radio stations and related broadcasting property and
equipment, all of which have been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets and
liabilities acquired based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition.
The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired
is allocated to intangible assets, primarily FCC licenses. The results of
operations associated with the acquired radio stations have been included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.
The acquisition activity was funded primarily through equity infusions by HM
Fund III and long-term borrowings.

Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Company acquired 11 FM and 3 AM radio
stations and related broadcast equipment through two acquisitions for aggregate
consideration of approximately $13,600. The acquisitions were funded primarily
through cash on hand. The Company previously operated all 14 of these stations
under either LMA's or JSA's.
On July 23, 1998, the Company agreed to acquire Triathlon Broadcasting
Company ("Triathlon"; Nasdaq: TBCOA, TBCOL) in a transaction valued at
approximately $190,000. The Company will pay approximately $130,000 in cash to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of common and preferred stock of Triathlon
and will assume approximately $60,000 of debt. Triathlon owns and operates or
programs 32 stations in six markets: Wichita, Kansas (4 FM and 2 AM); Colorado
Springs, Colorado (2 FM/2 AM); Lincoln, Nebraska (4 FM); Omaha, Nebraska (3 FM/1
AM); Spokane, Washington (5 FM/3 AM); and Tri-Cities, Washington (4 FM/2 AM).
Triathlon also owns Pinnacle Sports Productions, L.L.C., a regional sports
network that controls the rights to University of Nebraska football and other
sports events.
The Company has entered into numerous agreements, including the Triathlon
agreement discussed above, to acquire additional radio stations (28 FM and 11
AM) and related broadcast equipment for aggregate consideration of approximately
$228,000. The Company currently operates 13 of these stations under either LMA's
or JSA's.
In December 1998, an affiliate of the Company agreed to purchase the assets
of LAN International, Inc.'s business of developing, marketing, selling,
licensing and servicing specialized computer systems and software for use in the
radio and television industry. The purchase price of the acquisition is up to
$27,000 of which $15,000 will be due at the closing of the transaction. The
remaining $12,000 will be due to LAN International if the business meets certain
post-closing financial goals. The Company expects to complete the acquisition in
May 1999.
The Company has also entered into agreements for the disposition of 2 FM
and 5 AM stations for aggregate consideration of approximately $15,500. The
carrying value of net assets to be sold related to these stations approximated
the contract sales price.

Credit Facility
In connection with the SFX Merger, Capstar Radio, as the borrower, entered
into a new credit agreement, dated as of May 29, 1998, as amended (the "Capstar
Credit Facility"), with Capstar Broadcasting, Capstar Partners, and the
financial institutions party thereto. The Capstar Credit Facility consists of a
$500,000 revolving loan, a $450,000 term loan facility (the "A Term Loan") and a
$400,000 term loan (the "B Term Loan"). The Capstar Credit Facility also
contains mechanisms that permit Capstar Radio to request additional term loans
and revolving credit loans in an aggregate amount up to $550,000; provided,
however, that all such additional loans are subject to future commitment
availability and approval from the banks and are not currently available under
the Capstar Credit Facility. The revolving loan matures on November 30, 2004.
The A Term Loan provides for scheduled loan repayments from August 31, 1999 to
November 30, 2004. The B Term Loan provides for scheduled loan repayments from
August 31, 1998 to May 31, 2005. Up to $150,000 of the revolving loan commitment
is available to Capstar Radio for the issuance of letters of credit. As of
December 31, 1998, $428,955 was available for borrowing under the Capstar Credit
Facility due to an outstanding balance of $909,000 and letters of credit of
$10,045, subject to financial covenants contained in the credit facility and the
indentures that govern the indebtedness of Capstar Broadcasting's subsidiaries.
Due to the Company replacing its previous credit facility with the Capstar
Credit Facility, an extraordinary loss, net of tax, of approximately $2,487 was
recognized in the second quarter of 1998.
The revolving loans and the term loans bear interest at a rate based, at
the option of Capstar Radio, on (i) a base rate defined as the higher of 1/2 of
1% in excess of the federal reserve reported certificate of deposit rate or the
administrative agent bank's prime lending rate, plus an incremental rate or (ii)
the Eurodollar rate, plus an incremental rate. The weighted-average interest
rates on revolving loans outstanding at December 31, 1998 was 7.66%. Capstar
Radio pays fees ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum on the aggregate unused
portion of the loan commitment based on the leverage ratio for the most recent
quarter end. In addition, Capstar Radio is required to pay letter of credit
fees.
The Capstar Credit Facility contains customary restrictive covenants,
which, among other things and with certain exceptions, limit the ability of
Capstar Radio to incur additional indebtedness and liens in connection

(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
therewith, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, pay dividends,
consolidate, merge or effect certain asset sales, issue additional stock, make
capital expenditures and enter new lines of business. The Capstar Credit
Facility limits the ability of Capstar Radio and its subsidiaries to make
additional acquisitions in excess of $200,000 on an individual basis without the
prior consent of a majority of the banks. Substantially all the assets of
Capstar Radio and its subsidiaries are restricted. Under the Capstar Credit
Facility, Capstar Radio is also required to satisfy certain financial covenants,
which require Capstar Radio and its subsidiaries to maintain specified financial
ratios and to comply with certain financial tests, such as maximum leverage
ratio and minimum consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net cash interest expense.
Capstar Radio has collateralized the Capstar Credit Facility by granting a
first priority perfected pledge of Capstar Radio's assets, including the capital
stock of its subsidiaries, excluding the assets of CCI. Capstar Partners,
Capstar Broadcasting and all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Capstar
Partners (other than CCI) have guaranteed the Capstar Credit Facility and have
collateralized their guarantees by granting a first priority perfected pledge of
substantially all of their assets.
12 3/4% Capstar Partners Notes
On February 20, 1997, Capstar Partners issued $277.0 million in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of its 12 3/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2009. The
discount notes issued on February 20, 1997 were issued at a substantial discount
from their aggregate principal amount at maturity, generating gross proceeds to
Capstar Partners of approximately $150.3 million. On September 12, 1997, Capstar
Partners exchanged its 12 3/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2009 (the "12 3/4%
Capstar Partners Notes"), which were registered under the Securities Act of
1933, for all of the outstanding 12 3/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2009
previously issued on February 20, 1997. The terms of the 12 3/4% Capstar
Partners Notes are identical in all material respects to the discount notes
issued on February 20, 1997. The 12 3/4% Capstar Partners Notes are
uncollateralized, senior obligations of Capstar Partners and are limited to
$277.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity and will mature on
February 1, 2009. No interest will accrue on the 12 3/4% Capstar Partners Notes
prior to February 1, 2002. Thereafter, interest on the 12 3/4% Capstar Partners
Notes will accrue at the rate of 12 3/4% and will be payable in cash
semiannually on February 1 and August 1 commencing on August 1, 2002. The yield
to maturity and the effective interest rate of the 12 3/4% Capstar Partners
Notes is 12 3/4% and 12.42%, respectively, (computed on a semi-annual bond
equivalent basis), calculated from February 20, 1997.
The 12 3/4% Capstar Partners Notes may be redeemed at any time on or after
February 1, 2002, in whole or in part, at the option of Capstar Partners at
prices ranging from 106.375% at February 1, 2002 and declining to 100% on
February 1, 2007 (expressed as a percentage of the accreted value in the
redemption date), plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest. In addition,
prior to February 1, 2001, Capstar Partners may, at its option, redeem up to 25%
of the principal amount at maturity of the 12 3/4% Capstar Partners Notes at a
redemption price of 112.75% of the accreted value, out of the proceeds of one or
more public equity offering or major asset sales. Upon the occurrence of a
change in control (as defined in the 12 3/4% Capstar Partners Note Indenture),
the holders of the 12 3/4% Capstar Partners Notes have the right to require
Capstar Partners to purchase all or a portion of the 12 3/4% Capstar Partners
Notes at a purchase price equal to (i) 101% of the accreted value if the change
in control occurs before February 1, 2002 or (ii) 101% of the principal amount
at maturity, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the change in control occurs
after February 1, 2002. The 12 3/4% Capstar Partners indenture contains
limitations on incurrence of additional indebtedness, issuance of preferred
stock of subsidiaries and restricted payments, as well as other restrictive
covenants.
9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes
On June 17, 1997, Capstar Radio issued $200.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of its 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 1, 2007. On
September 16, 1997, Capstar Radio exchanged its 9 1/4% Senior
F-24
<PAGE> 106
CAPSTAR BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes"), which were
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, for all of the outstanding notes
issued on June 17, 1997. The 9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes are general
uncollateralized obligations of Capstar Radio and are subordinated to all senior
indebtedness of Capstar Radio. The 9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes may be redeemed at
anytime on or after July 1, 2002, in whole or in part, at the option of Capstar
Radio at prices ranging from 104.625% at July 1, 2002 and declining to 100% on
or after July 1, 2005, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest. In
addition, prior to July 1, 2001, Capstar Radio may redeem up to 25% of the
original aggregate principal amount of the 9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes at a
redemption price of 109.25% plus accrued and unpaid interest with net proceeds
of one or more public equity offerings or major asset sales. Upon the occurrence
of a change of control (as defined in the 9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes indenture),
the holders of the 9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes have the right to require Capstar
Radio to purchase all or a portion of the 9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes at a price
equal to 101% plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 9 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes
indenture contains limitations on incurrence of additional indebtedness,
issuance of preferred stock of subsidiaries and restricted payments, as well as
other restrictive covenants. The effective interest rate of the 9 1/4% Capstar
Radio Notes is 10.29%, calculated from June 17, 1997.
13 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes
On March 30, 1998, Capstar Radio announced an offer to purchase for cash
any and all of its $76,808 aggregate principal amount of 13 1/4% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the "13 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes"). On April 28,
1998, Capstar Radio purchased all of the outstanding 13 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes
for an aggregate purchase price of $90,200 including a $10,700 purchase premium
and $2,700 of accrued interest, resulting in an extraordinary loss of
approximately $4,818, net of tax, which was recognized in the second quarter of
1998.
Chancellor Note
In connection with the SFX Merger, Capstar Broadcasting borrowed $150,000
from Chancellor Media evidenced by a note (the "Chancellor Note"). The
Chancellor Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum (subject to increase
in certain circumstances), payable quarterly, of which 5/6 is payable in cash
and 1/6 is, at Capstar Broadcasting's option, either payable in cash or added to
the principal amount of the Chancellor Note. In addition, Capstar Broadcasting
may elect to defer the 5/6 portion payable in cash, in which case the Chancellor
Note would bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum. If Capstar Broadcasting
elects to pay interest when due, quarterly interest payments will equal $4,500,
payable until maturity. In 1998, Capstar Broadcasting did not elect to defer any
portion of the interest due, and paid approximately $10.6 million to Chancellor
Media. The Chancellor Note will mature on the twentieth anniversary of the date
of issuance, provided that Capstar Broadcasting may prepay all or part of the
outstanding principal balance and, in certain circumstances, Chancellor Media
has the right to require Capstar Broadcasting to prepay part of the outstanding
principal balance. The common stock of Capstar Partners was pledged by Capstar
Broadcasting on a first priority basis to Chancellor Media as collateral for the
Chancellor Note.
10 3/4% CCI Notes and 11 3/8% CCI Notes
After the consummation of the SFX Merger, CCI remained liable for the
$450,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 10 3/4% CCI Notes. Interest is
payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year until maturity on
May 15, 2006. The notes are uncollateralized obligations of CCI and are
subordinate to all senior debt of CCI. The effective interest rate of the
10 3/4% CCI Notes is 9.11%.
On July 3, 1998, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the
10 3/4% CCI Notes, CCI redeemed $154,000 aggregate principal amount of the
10 3/4% CCI Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $172,800

including a $16,600 redemption premium and $2,200 of accrued interest. (The
carrying value of the 10 3/4% CCI Notes approximated their fair value at the
date of the SFX Merger).
The SFX Merger resulted in a change of control under the indenture
governing the 10 3/4% CCI Notes and the 11 3/8% CCI Notes. Pursuant to a change
of control offer to acquire all of the outstanding 10 3/4% CCI Notes and 11 3/8%
CCI Notes, each of which commenced on June 8, 1998, CCI purchased on July 10,
1998 $1,866 aggregate principal amount of the 10 3/4% CCI Notes for an aggregate
purchase price of $1,915, including an $18 purchase premium and $31 of accrued
interest. (The carrying value of the 10 3/4% CCI Notes approximated their fair
value at the date of the SFX Merger). No 11 3/8% CCI Notes were tendered for
repurchase.
The 10 3/4% CCI Notes indenture contains restrictive provisions that, among
other things, limit the ability of CCI to incur additional indebtedness, pay
dividends or make certain other restricted payments, or merge or consolidate
with or sell all or substantially all of their assets to any other person.
Substantially all of the assets of CCI are restricted.
The 10 3/4% CCI Notes and 11 3/8% CCI Notes are guaranteed by every direct
and indirect subsidiary of CCI. The guarantees by the guarantor subsidiaries are
full, unconditional, and joint and several. All of the guarantor subsidiaries
are wholly-owned. CCI is a holding company with no assets, liabilities or
operations other than its investment in its subsidiaries.
Other
In January 1997, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement
designated as a partial hedge of the Company's portfolio of variable rate debt.
The purpose of the swap is to reduce certain exposures to interest rate
fluctuations. At December 31, 1998, this interest rate swap had a notional
amount of $26,000, and a portfolio of a variable rate debt outstanding in the
amount of $909,000. Under this agreement the Company is receiving a
weighted-average variable rate equal to LIBOR and paying a weighted-average
fixed interest rate of 6.34%. The weighted-average LIBOR rate applicable to this
agreement was 5.07% at December 31, 1998. Interest expense was increased by $124
and $170 for 1997 and 1998, respectively. Notional amounts do not quantify risk
or represent assets or liabilities of the Company, but are used in the
determination of cash settlements under the agreements. The interest rate swap
agreement matures on January 31, 2000.
In conjunction with the merger with Former GulfStar, the Company paid off
the then outstanding Former GulfStar credit facility. As a result, the company
recognized an extraordinary charge relating to the payoff of approximately
$2,403, net of income tax benefit, of unamortized deferred financing costs.
During 1996, Capstar Radio significantly modified the terms of its existing
reducing revolver loans and accelerated the maturity date from March 31, 2003 to
December 31, 1996. In connection with this modification, Capstar Radio
recognized an extraordinary charge relating to the write-off of approximately
$1,188, net of income tax benefit, of unamortized deferred financing costs.

Partners exchanged its 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock (the "12% Capstar
Partners Preferred Stock"), which was registered under the Securities Act, for
all of the outstanding 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock previously issued on
June 17, 1997. Capstar Partners has authorized 10,000 shares of the 12% Capstar
Partners Preferred Stock. Dividends on the 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock
accumulate from the date of issuance and are payable semi-annually, on January 1
and July 1 of each year, at a rate per annum of 12% of the liquidation
preference, or $12.00, per share. Dividends may be paid, at Capstar Partners'
option, on any dividend payment date occurring on or prior to July 1, 2002
either in cash or in additional shares of the 12% Capstar Partners Preferred
Stock. The liquidation preference of the 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock is
$100.00 per share. The 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock is redeemable at
Capstar Partners' option, in whole or in part at any time on or after July 1,
2002, at prices ranging from 106% at July 1, 2002 and declining to 100% after
July 1, 2007, plus, without duplication, accumulated and unpaid dividends to the
date of redemption. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, prior to July 1,
2001, Capstar Partners may, at its option, redeem up to 25% of the 12% Capstar
Partners Preferred Stock with the net cash proceeds from one or more Public
Equity or Major Asset Sales (both as defined in the Certificate of Designation
governing the 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock), at the redemption prices
set forth in the Certificate of Designation, plus, without duplication,
accumulated and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. The 12% Capstar
Partners Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory redemption in whole on July 1,
2009 at a price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference thereof, plus all
accrued and unpaid dividends.
The 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock was recorded at the amount of the
net proceeds of approximately $95 million. The carrying amount is being
accreted, using the interest method, to equal the mandatory redemption amount at
the mandatory redemption date. In 1997 and 1998, Capstar Partners exercised this
option by paying $6,467 and $13,157 of dividends-in-kind. Through December 31,
1998, cash dividends of approximately $2 have been paid to fractional
shareholders. At December 31, 1998, Capstar Partners had no accrued dividends
outstanding.
Capstar Partners may, at its option, subject to certain conditions, on any
scheduled dividend payment date, exchange the 12% Capstar Partners Preferred
Stock, in whole but not in part, for 12% Capstar Exchange Debentures. Holders of
the 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive $1.00
principal amount of 12% Capstar Exchange Debentures for each $1.00 in
liquidation preference of 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock.
The Certificate of Designation provides that, upon the occurrence of a
change of control (as defined in the Capstar Certificate of Designation), each
holder has the right to require Capstar Partners to repurchase all or a portion
of such holder's 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock in cash at a purchase
price equal to 101% of the liquidation preference thereof, plus, without
duplication, an amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends per
share to the date of repurchase.
In addition, the Certificate of Designation provides that, prior to July 1,
2002, upon the occurrence of a change of control, Capstar Partners has the
option to redeem the 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock in whole but not in
part (a "Change of Control Redemption") at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the liquidation preference thereof, plus the applicable premium (as defined in
the Certificate of Designation).
The Certificate of Designation contains restrictive provisions that, among
other things, limit the ability of Capstar Partners and its subsidiaries to
incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make certain other restricted
payments, or merge or consolidate with or sell all or substantially all of their
assets to any other person.
The 12% Capstar Partners Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights
and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution, ranks (a) senior to all
classes of common stock of Capstar Partners and to each other series of
preferred stock established after June 17, 1997 (the "Preferred Stock Issuance
Date") by the

CCI
All 2,392 shares of CCI Series E Preferred Stock remained outstanding after
the consummation of the SFX Merger. Dividends on the CCI Series E Preferred
Stock accumulate from the date of issuance at the rate per share of $12.625 per
annum, and are payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year.
Dividends may be paid, at CCI's option, on any dividend payment date occurring
on or before January 15, 2002, either in cash or in additional shares of CCI
Series E Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference equal to the amount of
such dividend. In 1998, CCI paid $7,517 of dividends in the form of new shares
and $1 in cash dividends. At December 31, 1998, CCI had $7,327 recorded in
accrued dividends.
The Certificate of Designation contains restrictive provisions that, among
other things, limit the ability of CCI to incur additional indebtedness, pay
dividends or make certain other restricted payments, or merge or consolidate
with or sell all or substantially all of their assets to any other person.
Substantially all of the assets of CCI are restricted.
Subject to certain conditions, the shares of the CCI Series E Preferred
Stock are exchangeable in whole or in part, on a pro rata basis, at the option
of CCI, on any dividend payment date, for CCI's 12 5/8% Senior Subordinated
Exchangeable Debentures due 2006 ("CCI Exchange Notes"), provided that
immediately after giving effect to any partial exchange, there shall be
outstanding CCI Series E Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation
preference of not less than $50,000 and not less than $50,000 in aggregate
principal amount of CCI Exchange Notes. CCI is required, subject to certain
conditions, to redeem all of the CCI Series E Preferred Stock outstanding on
October 31, 2006.
On July 3, 1998, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation
that governs the CCI Series E Preferred Stock (the "CCI Certificate of
Designation"), CCI redeemed $119,600 aggregate liquidation preference, or 1,196
shares, of the CCI Series E Preferred stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$141,700, including a $15,100 redemption premium and $7,000 of accrued
dividends. (The carrying value of the CCI Exchange Notes approximated their fair
value at the date of the SFX Merger.)
The SFX Merger resulted in a change of control under the CCI Certificate of
Designation. Pursuant to change of control offers to acquire all of the
outstanding CCI Series E Preferred Stock, which commenced on June 8, 1998, CCI
Purchased on July 10, 1998 $500 aggregate liquidation preference, or 5 shares,
of the CCI Series E Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $536,
including a $5 purchase premium and $31 of accrued dividends. (The carrying
value of the CCI Exchange Notes approximated their fair value at the date of the
SFX Merger.)
GulfStar Preferred
In connection with issuance of its 12% redeemable preferred shares, Former
GulfStar granted, to the holders of the preferred shares, warrants for the
purchase of 8 shares of Former GulfStar's common stock at a rate of $.01 per
share.
F-29
<PAGE> 111
CAPSTAR BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Of the proceeds received from issuance of the preferred shares, $3,884 was
assigned to the warrants and credited to additional paid-in capital in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such value is being accreted to
redeemable preferred stock using the interest method over the period from
issuance to mandatory redemption. These warrants were exercised in 1997 in
connection with the GulfStar merger.
In conjunction with the merger of GulfStar into a direct subsidiary of
Capstar Broadcasting in July 1997, Capstar Radio redeemed all of the outstanding
shares of redeemable preferred stock of GulfStar. The liquidation value as of
the date of redemption was approximately $29 million, which included $2,817 in
accumulated dividends. The redemption resulted in a charge to additional paid-in
capital of $5,378, for the amount that the liquidation value exceeded the
carrying value.
13. NONCASH COMPENSATION EXPENSE:
Warrants
During 1996 and 1997, the Company issued warrants to the Company's Chief
Executive Officer ("CEO"). In April 1998, Capstar Broadcasting (i) amended and
restated these warrants which give the holder to the right to purchase up to
1,508 shares of Class C Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $14.40 to
$18.10 per share, (ii) granted two additional warrants to the CEO to purchase up
to 188 shares and 500 shares of Class C Common stock at an exercise price of
$17.10 and $14.00 per share, respectively, and (iii) granted warrants to two
other executive officers of Capstar Broadcasting to purchase up to an aggregate
of 300 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $14.00 per share.
In July, 1998, a director of Capstar Broadcasting was granted a warrant to
purchase 200 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $14.00 per
share. The warrants expire ten years or less from the date of issue depending on
the warrant agreement. Certain of the warrants can be exercised at any time
prior to the expiration date. The remaining warrants cannot be exercised prior
to a triggering event. Depending on the warrant agreement, the warrant will not
be exercisable until (i) June 30, 2001 or immediately preceding a sale of the
Company (as defined by the warrant agreement) or (2) if the fair market value of
the Class A Common Stock, calculated on a daily basis, equals or exceeds $60.00
per share for a period of 180 consecutive days during the period from the date
of grant of the warrant through May 31, 2003.
The terms of certain of these warrants give rise to variable treatment for
accounting purposes. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion No. 25, compensation expense is measured at each reporting period and
recognized based on the specific terms of the warrants. The Company recognized
noncash compensation of approximately $744, $1,825 and $8,546 in 1996, 1997 and
1998, respectively.
With the exception of the warrant to purchase 500 shares at $14.00 which
was granted to the CEO, upon consummation of the merger with Chancellor Media,
each warrant will fully vest and be exercisable.
A rollforward of the warrant activity has been included in the equity
instruments tables below.
Stock Subscriptions
Former GulfStar issued approximately 1.6 million shares of common stock
since 1994 for prices ranging from $0.62 to $8.04 per share. In each case,
Former GulfStar received recourse and non-recourse notes for 25% and 75% of the
purchase price, respectively.
Former GulfStar applied APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for the stock
issued for non-recourse notes. The compensation cost charged against income was
approximately $5,432, $8,750 and $11,217 in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
For certain of the sales to employees during 1996, compensation expense is
considered unearned until Former GulfStar's rights to repurchase the shares
expire in accordance with the terms of
F-30

CAPSTAR BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
underlying securities purchase agreement. Such rights expired during 1997 upon
the merger of Former GulfStar and the Company.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Former GulfStar by Capstar
Broadcasting in July 1997, all of Former GulfStar's then outstanding common
stock and stock subscriptions were exchanged for Capstar Broadcasting common
stock and stock subscriptions.
Stock Options
In 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan")
providing for the granting of options to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock to the Company's key employees and eligible non-employees, as defined by
the Plan and determined by the Company's Board Directors. The Plan replaced the
prior stock option plan. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for the Plan. In 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No.
123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which, if adopted by the Company,
would change the methods the Company applies in recognizing the cost of the
Plan. Adoption of the cost recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 is optional
and the Company has decided not to elect these provisions of SFAS No. 123.
However, pro forma disclosures as if the Company adopted the cost recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123 in 1995 are required by SFAS No. 123 and are
presented below.
As of December 31, 1998, an aggregate of 4,700 shares was approved for
issuance under the Plan. The Plan provides for the issuance of both Incentive
Stock Options ("ISOs") as well as options not qualifying as ISOs within the
meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At the time of the
grant, the Company's Board of Directors determines the exercise price and
vesting schedules. Under the terms of the Plan, the option price per share of
ISOs to a person who, at the time such ISO is granted, owns shares of the
Company or any Related Entity, which possess more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or of any related entity,
the option exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value
per share of common stock at the date the option is granted. Options may not be
granted with a term beyond 2008. Generally, 20% of each option is exercisable
one year after the grant and an additional 1/60 becomes exercisable each month
thereafter.
The Plan has been amended to provide that, upon the consummation of the
merger with Chancellor Media, with respect to any outstanding options, if on or
before the second anniversary of the consummation of the merger, the employment
of an optionee is terminated (other than for cause, voluntary resignation, death
or disability) or an optionee resigns after a material diminution of their
duties, the optionee's options will vest in full and the options may be
exercised until the termination of the option.
In April 1998, the Company granted 585 options at an exercise price of
$17.50. Accordingly, the Company recorded unearned compensation of $878 for the
difference between $17.50 and the initial public offering price of $19.00. The
unearned compensation is being expensed ratably over the five year vesting
period.

As required by SFAS No. 123, pro forma information regarding net loss has
been determined as if the Company had accounted for its equity instruments under
the fair value method. The fair value for these equity instruments was estimated
as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions for 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively;
risk free interest rates of 5.84%, 6.16% and 5.41%; no dividend; volatility
factors of the expected market price of the company's common stock of 68.15%;
and weighted-average expected lives of the options of three and five years.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
equity instruments is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The
impact on the pro forma results which follow may not be representative of
compensation expense in future years when the effect of the amortization of
multiple awards

14. INCOME TAXES:
All of the Company's revenues were generated in the United States. The
components of the benefit for income taxes are as follows:

</TABLE>
Approximately $707, $1,473 and $3,282 of benefit for income taxes was
allocated to an extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. For purposes of the foregoing components
of benefit for income taxes, such intra-period allocation is treated to have
affected the deferred components.

(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable
income in making this assessment. The Company expects the majority of deferred
tax assets at December 31, 1998 to be realized as a result of the reversal
during the carryforward period of existing taxable temporary differences giving
rise to deferred tax liabilities and the generation of taxable income in the
carryforward period.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $131,000, including approximately $94,300 acquired in connection
with the acquisition of certain subsidiaries. The acquired net operating losses
are SRLY to the acquired subsidiaries that generated the losses. If not
previously utilized, net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates
from 1999 through 2018. Management considers that it is more likely than not
that a portion of these loss carryforwards will not ultimately be realized, and
has recorded a related valuation allowance as of December 31, 1998.
15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Guarantees of Indebtedness
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had guaranteed the indebtedness of
limited liability companies in the amount of $51,904. The Company holds a 30%
non voting equity interest in each of these entities, and may in the future be
required to repay such indebtedness. Through December 31, 1998, the Company has
performed as guarantor on these notes paying $3,402.
Employee Benefit Plan
During 1997, the Company established a 401(k) Plan for the benefit of all
eligible employees. Eligible participants under this plan are defined as all
full-time employees with three months of service. All eligible participants may
elect to contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan subject to
Internal Revenue Service limitations. The Company makes matching contributions
to the plan at a rate of 25%, to an annual maximum of 6% of each participant's
annual salary. Contribution expense under the plan was $300 and $2,260 for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
Leases
The Company leases real property, office space, broadcasting and office
equipment under various noncancelable operating leases. Certain of the Company's
operating leases contain escalation clauses, renewal options and/or purchase
options. Rent expense was approximately $913, $2,490 and $8,468 for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

Employment Agreements
The Company has employment agreements with its executive officers and other
key employees, the terms of which expire at various times through December 2003.
Such agreements provide for minimum salary levels, which may be adjusted from
time to time, as well as for incentive bonuses which are payable if specified
management goals are attained. The aggregate commitment for future salaries at
December 31, 1998, excluding bonuses, was approximately $46,049.
Legal
On July 13, 1998, Noddings Investment Group, Inc. and Noddings Warrant
Limited Partnership filed Civil Action No. 16538 in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware in and for New Castle County against Capstar Communications.
Noddings alleges that Capstar Communications breached a warrant agreement that
Noddings contends requires Capstar Communications to permit Noddings to exercise
warrants in exchange for cash and shares of stock of SFX Entertainment.
Specifically, Noddings alleges that Capstar Communications has violated the
warrant agreement by permitting Noddings to receive cash in exchange for its
warrants, but refusing to convey shares of stock of SFX Entertainment. In
addition to suing on its own behalf, Noddings is seeking to prosecute the action
on behalf of a putative class comprised of all persons who owned equivalent
warrants on April 21, 1998, (the date immediately following the record date of
the distribution of stock of SFX Entertainment to holders of the stock of SFX)
and their transferees and successors in interest. Noddings has requested that
the court:
- declare that on the exercise of its warrants Capstar Communications
transmit to plaintiffs and members of the class that it seeks to
represent $22.3725 in cash per warrant and 0.2983 shares of common stock
of SFX Entertainment per warrant;
- require Capstar Communications to pay 0.2983 shares of common stock of
SFX Entertainment per warrant and, (if not previously paid) $22.3725 in
cash, to any putative class member that has exercised or exercises
warrants after April 20, 1998;
- in the alternative, award plaintiffs and members of the putative class
monetary damages in an amount to be determined at trial; and
- award costs and attorneys' fees.
In March 1999, the court issued an opinion dismissing two of Nodding's
counts and granting summary judgment in favor of Noddings on one count. The
court held that Noddings is entitled to 0.2983 shares of SFX Entertainment stock
per warrant. Capstar Communication intends to continue to defend this action
through a motion for reargument and if necessary an appeal.

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise
in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount
of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not have a material
impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations or cash
flows of the Company.
Other
The Company is partially self-insured for employee medical insurance risks,
subject to specific retention levels. Self-insurance costs are accrued based
upon the aggregate of the estimated liability for reported claims and estimated
liabilities for claims incurred but not reported. The Company has recorded
approximately $516, $2,658 and $8,079 for self-insurance costs for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Monitoring and Oversight Agreements
The Company has entered into monitoring and oversight agreements (the
"Monitoring and Oversight Agreements") with Hicks, Muse & Co. Partners, L.P.
("Hicks Muse Partners"). Pursuant thereto, the Company has agreed to pay to
Hicks Muse Partners an annual fee for ongoing financial oversight and monitoring
services. The annual fee is adjustable upward or downward at the end of each
fiscal year to an amount equal to 0.2% of the budgeted consolidated annual net
sales of the Company for the then-current fiscal year; provided, that such fee
shall at no time be less that $100 per year. For the years ended December 31,
1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company incurred $21, $378 and $819 respectively,
relating to the Monitoring and Oversight Agreements.
The Monitoring and Oversight Agreements make available on an ongoing basis
the resources of Hicks Muse Partners concerning a variety of financial matters.
The services that have been and will continue to be provided, until consummation
of the Chancellor Merger, by Hicks Muse Partners could not otherwise be obtained
by the Company without the addition of personnel or the engagement of outside
professional advisors. The Chancellor Merger Agreement provides that upon the
consummation of the Chancellor Merger, the Monitoring and Oversight Agreements
will be terminated, and in consideration therefore, the Company shall make a
one-time cash payment of $14,202 to Hicks Muse Partners on the date of closing.
Financial Advisory Agreements
The Company is a party to financial advisory agreements (the "Financial
Advisory Agreements") with Hicks Muse Partners. Pursuant to the Financial
Advisory Agreements, Hicks Muse Partners is entitled to receive a fee equal to
1.5% of the transaction value (as defined in the Financial Advisory Agreements)
for each add-on transaction (as defined) in which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is involved.
Pursuant to the Financial Advisory Agreements, Hicks Muse Partners provides
investment banking, financial advisory and other similar services with respect
to the add-on transactions in which the Company is involved. Such transactions
require additional attention beyond that required to monitor and advise the
Company on an ongoing basis and, accordingly, the Company pays separate
financial advisory fees with respect to such matters in addition to those paid
in connection with the Monitoring and Oversight Agreements. The services that
have been and will continue to be provided by Hicks Muse Partners could not have
otherwise been obtained by the Company without the addition of personnel or the
engagement of outside professional advisors. For the years ended December 31,
1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company incurred financial advisory fees in the amount
of approximately $5,654, $10,586 and $49,473, respectively. The Chancellor
Merger Agreement provides that upon the consummation of the Chancellor Merger,
the Company shall make
F-37

CAPSTAR BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
a cash payment of $17,500 to Hicks Muse Partners on the date of closing in
satisfaction of its services performed under the Financial Advisory Agreements
in connection with the Chancellor Merger.
Chancellor Media Transactions
The Company has retained Katz Media Group, Inc. ("Katz") as its media
representative to sell national spot advertising air time. Katz is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Chancellor Media which was acquired by Chancellor
Media in October of 1997. Since Chancellor Media's acquisition of Katz, the
Company expensed approximately $400 and $4,400, for media representation
services from Katz in 1997 and 1998, respectively. At December 31, 1997 and
1998, the Company had an accrued liability to Katz of approximately $700 and
$3,400, respectively. Also, at December 31, 1998, the Company had a receivable
of approximately $2,200 from Katz.
In 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with The AMFM Radio
Networks, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chancellor Media. The AMFM Radio Networks
sells airtime of the Company's participating radio stations to national
advertisers, for which the Company receives revenue share. For the year ended
December 31, 1998, the Company recorded $8,257 in related revenue. At December
31, 1998, the Company had a receivable of approximately $1,500 from The AMFM
Radio Networks.
As stated in Note 5, in 1998, the Company began earning LMA revenue from
Chancellor Media under the Chancellor Exchange Agreement. For the year ended
December 31, 1998, the Company earned LMA fees of approximately $28,800 from the
Chancellor Exchange Stations.
As stated in Note 10, in 1998 the Company borrowed $150,000 from Chancellor
Media. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company incurred approximately
$10,600 in interest expense.
Former GulfStar
On April 16, 1996, Former GulfStar acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock of Sonance Communications, Inc. ("Sonance") in exchange for 0.542 shares
of Former GulfStar's Class C common stock, 1.626 shares of Former GulfStar's
Class A common stock and approximately $619 of cash. Total consideration for the
acquisition, including acquisition costs, was approximately $1,065. The primary
assets of Sonance were broadcasting properties. Liabilities of Sonance assumed
by Former GulfStar in connection with the acquisition were approximately $7,627.
The controlling stockholder of Former GulfStar is a family member of the
controlling stockholder of Sonance. The majority stockholder of Former GulfStar,
who is a family member of both the controlling stockholder of Former GulfStar
and the controlling stockholder of Sonance, was also the majority stockholder of
Sonance.
Former GulfStar recorded a charge of approximately $771 during 1996 in
connection with the write-off of a receivable from an entity owned by a family
member of the controlling stockholder of Former GulfStar. The charge is included
in other expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

at December 31, 1997 and 1998. The fair value of a financial instrument is
defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties.

</TABLE>
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instrument:
Cash and short-term debt, and accounts receivable and payable: the
carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
these instruments.
Long-term debt: The fair value of the Company's 12 3/4% Capstar
Partners Notes, 9 1/4% and 13 1/4% Capstar Radio Notes, 10 3/4% CCI Notes
and 11 3/8% CCI Notes are based on quoted market prices. As amounts
outstanding under the Company's Credit Facility agreements bear interest at
current market rates, their carrying amounts approximate fair market value.
Interest rate swap: The fair value of the interest rate swap is
estimated by obtaining quotations from brokers. The fair value is an
estimate of the amounts that the Company would receive (pay) at the
reporting date if the contracts were transferred to other parties or
canceled by the broker.
Redeemable preferred stock: The fair value is estimated based on
quoted market prices.
18. MERGER, NONRECURRING AND SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE
The Company recorded merger, nonrecurring and systems development expense
of $12,970 in 1998 which consisted of (i) $8,105 of investment banking, legal
and other expense related to the pending Chancellor Merger, (ii) $2,095 of
expense, primarily legal, accounting and severance costs associated with
acquisitions and legal reorganization, (iii) $1,422 consisting primarily of
startup costs associated with the Company's sales training initiative and (iv)
$1,348 of current state assessment, business process reengineering and training
expense incurred in connection with the Company's development of a new traffic
system.
The Company recorded merger, nonrecurring and systems development expense
of $4,729 in 1997 which consisted of investment banking, legal and transaction
fees related to the GulfStar Merger.
19. LOSS ON INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES
In 1998 the Company incurred a loss of $28,565 on investments in Limited
Liability Companies ("LLCs") comprised of (i) write-downs of notes receivable
from the LLCs and (ii) certain performance obligations under the LLCs' borrowing
arrangements for which the Company acts as guarantor.
20. SEGMENT INFORMATION
In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company is engaged principally in
one line of business-ownership and management of radio broadcast stations
("Radio") which represents more than 95% of consolidated net
F-39

CAPSTAR BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
revenue. Radio is the Company's only reportable segment. Operating segments
categorized as "Other" include results of insignificant operations and income
and expense not allocated to reportable segments.
The accounting policies of the reportable segment are the same as those
described in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." The Company
evaluates the performance of its operating segments and allocates resources to
them based on their net revenue and broadcast cash flow ("BCF") which consists
of operating income before merger, nonrecurring and systems development expense;
depreciation, amortization, LMA fees, noncash compensation expense, and
corporate expenses.
The Company has developed an operating structure designed to manage a large
and growing number of radio stations throughout the United States. The Radio
segment is operationally organized into six regions.
The table below presents information about the reportable and "Other"
operating segments. The prior years' segment information has been restated to

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Capstar Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("CCI" or "the Company")
(formerly known as SFX Broadcasting, Inc. and Subsidiaries "SFX") is an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstar Radio Broadcasting Partners, Inc. ("Capstar
Radio") which is indirectly wholly-owned by Capstar Broadcasting Corporation
("Capstar Broadcasting"). At December 31, 1998, the Company owned and operated
114 and programmed 3 radio stations throughout the United States. In addition,
the Company owned eleven radio stations which were operated by third parties,
ten of which were operated by Chancellor Media Corporation ("Chancellor Media").
On May 29, 1998, SBI Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("SFX
Parent"), acquired SFX Broadcasting, Inc., which has been renamed CCI. The
acquisition was effected through the merger (the "SFX Merger") of SBI Radio
Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
SFX Parent, with and into SFX, with SFX as the surviving corporation. The
acquisition of SFX by SFX Parent resulted in a change of control of SFX. As a
result of the SFX Merger, SFX became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Capstar Radio. The total consideration paid in the SFX Merger for all of the
outstanding common equity interest was approximately $1,300,000, including
direct costs of the acquisition.
In connection with the SFX Merger and other related transactions, the
Company (i) acquired and disposed of certain assets and stock as described in
Note 4 and (ii) borrowed approximately $441,400 in cash from Capstar Radio under
a revolving credit note with Capstar Radio ("the Capstar Radio Note"). In
connection with certain asset divestiture transactions occurring immediately
after the SFX Merger, CCI incurred an income tax liability to Capstar
Broadcasting of approximately $25,000. The Capstar Radio Note is a $1,400,000
revolving credit agreement with interest payable quarterly at an annual floating
rate equal to the per annum interest rate available to Capstar Radio under its
credit facility for revolving loans that are Eurodollar loans with a three month
interest period applicable thereto.
On April 27, 1998, SFX distributed the net assets (the "Spin Off") of its
live entertainment business ("SFX Entertainment") pro-rata to its stockholders
and the holders of certain warrants, options and stock appreciation rights.
The Company estimates that in connection with (i) the Spin-Off and (ii)
certain other intercompany transactions engaged in by SFX Entertainment prior to
the Spin-Off, SFX incurred a federal income tax liability of approximately
$88,000. SFX Entertainment has agreed to fully indemnify CCI from and against
such tax liability (Note 10), including any tax liability of CCI arising from
such indemnification payments, which full indemnity payments are presently
estimated to be approximately $93,000. On June 30, September 30, and December
31, 1998, respectively, CCI received approximately $52,500, $26,300 and $14,200
in cash from SFX Entertainment in payment of SFX Entertainment's estimated
indemnity obligation.
The operations of SFX Entertainment have been presented in the financial
statements as discontinued operations pursuant to the Spin-Off. During the five
month period ended May 31, 1998, revenue and loss from operations for SFX
Entertainment were $122,700 and $5,307, respectively. Included in operating
expenses is $2,420 of allocated corporate expenses. Additionally, interest
expense relating to the debt that was distributed to the stockholders pursuant
to the Spin-Off of $7,300 has been allocated to SFX Entertainment. Included in
the loss from operations to be distributed to shareholders for the five months
ended May 31, 1998 is income tax expense of $75,700, which includes $93,000 of
current income tax expense offset by a tax benefit resulting from reduction of
the Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowance. During the year ended
December 31, 1997, revenue and income from operations for SFX Entertainment were
$96,100 and $5,100, respectively. Included in operating expenses is $2,200 of
allocated corporate expenses. Additionally, interest expense

relating to the debt to be distributed to the shareholders pursuant to the
Spin-Off of $1,600 has been allocated to SFX Entertainment. The Company provided
various administrative services to SFX Entertainment. It is the Company's policy
to allocate these expenses on the basis of direct usage. In the opinion of
management, this method of allocation is reasonable and allocated expenses
approximate what SFX Entertainment would have incurred on a stand-alone basis.
The Company accounted for the SFX Merger under the purchase method of
accounting, following the accounting treatment in accordance with push-down
accounting, whereby the Company recorded the purchase price allocation in its
financial statements. For financial reporting purposes, the Company accounted
for the transaction effective June 1, 1998. As of June 1, 1998, the Company made
a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the net assets required. The
purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their respective
fair values at June 1, 1998, as adjusted, as listed in the table below which
represents the components of the opening balance sheet.

NOTE 2 -- CHANCELLOR MERGER AGREEMENT
On August 26, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media, an affiliate
of the Company, entered into an agreement to merge (the "Chancellor Merger") in
a stock-for-stock transaction that will create the nation's largest radio
broadcasting entity. Under the merger agreement:
- Chancellor Media will acquire Capstar Broadcasting in a reverse merger in
which Capstar Broadcasting will be renamed Chancellor Media Corporation;
- each share of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock will
represent 0.4955 shares of voting common stock in the combined entity;
F-49
<PAGE> 131
CAPSTAR COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS SFX BROADCASTING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
- each share of Class B Common Stock will represent 0.4955 shares of
nonvoting common stock of the combined entity;
- each share of Chancellor Media common stock will represent one share of
the combined entity; and
- each share of Chancellor Media preferred stock will represent one share
of preferred stock of the combined entity.
The completion of the merger depends upon the satisfaction of a number of
conditions. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions to the merger
will be satisfied. Either company may waive compliance with the conditions at
its discretion if permitted by law.
On September 9, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting was notified of an action filed
on behalf of all owners of securities of Chancellor Media against Chancellor
Media, Hicks Muse and the individual directors of Hicks Muse in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, Delaware. While
the complaint does not name Capstar Broadcasting as a defendant, the complaint
alleges that Chancellor Media and its directors breached their duties to the
alleged class by entering into an "overly generous offer for Capstar assets."
The action is relevant to Capstar Broadcasting because inter alia, the plaintiff
seeks an injunction prohibiting the proposed Chancellor Merger with Capstar
Broadcasting. As Capstar Broadcasting is not a defendant in this action, Capstar
Broadcasting has no obligation to appear or participate.
NOTE 3 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for
investments in which it has a 50% or less and 20% or greater ownership interest
under the equity method.
Cash and Cash Equivalents.
All highly liquid investments with a maturity at date of purchase of less
than three months are classified as cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of
cash and cash equivalents reported in the balance sheet approximate their fair
values.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is
provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. The costs of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related
accumulated depreciation and amortization balances are removed from the accounts
and any resulting gain or loss is included in income.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or
estimated useful lives of the assets.
Intangible Assets
FCC licenses and goodwill represent the excess of cost over the fair values
of the identifiable tangible and other intangible net assets acquired. Other
intangible assets comprise costs incurred for pending acquisitions, noncompete
agreements and deferred financing costs. Pending acquisition costs are deferred
and capitalized as
F-50

CAPSTAR COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS SFX BROADCASTING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
part of completed acquisitions or expensed in the period in which the pending
acquisition is terminated. Deferred financing costs are amortized under the
interest method over the life of the related debt.
The Company periodically evaluates intangible and other long-lived assets
for potential impairment in accordance with the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 17, "Intangible Assets," and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," by analyzing
the operating results, future cash flows on an undiscounted basis, trends and
prospects of the Company's stations, as well as by comparing them to their
competitors. The Company also takes into consideration recent acquisition
patterns within the broadcast industry, the impact of recently enacted or
potential FCC rules and regulations and any other events or circumstances which
might indicate potential impairment. At this time, in the opinion of management,
no impairment has occurred.
Exchange of Radio Stations
The Company records the exchange of radio stations in accordance with APB
Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations". The net book value of the station given
up is removed from the accounts and the station received is recorded at fair
value, with any resulting gain or loss included in results of operations.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts at each period-end based on enacted tax laws and
statutory tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable earnings. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be
realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change
during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Revenue Recognition
Broadcasting operations derive revenue primarily from the sale of program
time and commercial announcements to local, regional and national advertisers.
Revenue is recognized when the programs and commercial announcements are
broadcast.
Barter Transactions
The Company barters unsold advertising time for products and services. Such
transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value of the products or
services received or used. Barter revenue is recorded when commercials are
broadcast and related expenses are recorded when the product or service is
received or used. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 and the five
month period ended May 31, 1998 and the seven month period ended December 31,
1998, the Company recorded barter revenue of $8,029, $11,995, $5,469 and $7,980,
respectively, and expenses of $7,476, $11,281, $5,337 and $7,535, respectively.
Uncertainties and Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The radio broadcasting industry is subject to federal regulation by the
Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). These governmental regulations and
policies could change over time and there can be no assurance that such changes
would not have a material impact upon the Company.

(FORMERLY KNOWN AS SFX BROADCASTING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
The Company's pending acquisition, exchange and merger agreements are
subject to various governmental approvals, including the Department of Justice
under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and
the FCC under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Local Marketing Agreements ("LMA")/Joint Sales Agreements ("JSA")
From time to time, the Company enters into LMAs and JSAs with respect to
radio stations owned by third parties including radio stations which it intends
to acquire. Terms of the agreements generally require the Company to pay a
monthly fee in exchange for the right to provide station programming and sell
related advertising time in the case of an LMA or sell advertising in the case
of a JSA. The agreements terminate upon the acquisition of the stations. It is
the Company's policy to expense the fees as incurred as a component of operating
income (loss). The Company accounts for payments received pursuant to LMAs of
owned stations as net revenue to the extent that the payment received represents
a reimbursement of the Company's ownership costs.
Advertising Costs
Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and approximated
$5,068, $9,789, $7,141 and $12,618 for the years ended December 31 1996 and
1997, the five months ended May 31, 1998 and the seven months ended December 31,
1998, respectively.
Intercompany Matters
The Company is charged by its Parent for corporate services through a
monthly corporate overhead allocation charge. Such charge is based on factors of
direct usage and in the opinion of management, is reasonable and approximates
what the Company would have incurred on a stand-alone basis.
Subsequent to the SFX Merger, the Company's operating results are included
in the consolidated federal income tax return of its parent. Tax provisions in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
stand-alone basis with any net current tax liability due to taxing authorities
resulting from inclusion of the Company's activities in its parent's
consolidated tax return being reflected as due to its parent under the Capstar
Radio Note.
Concentration of Credit Risk
It is the Company's policy to place its cash with high credit quality
financial institutions, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.
Management believes that credit risk in these deposits is minimal and has not
experienced any losses in such accounts.
The Company's revenue and accounts receivable primarily relates to
advertising of products and services within the radio stations' broadcast areas.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. Credit
losses have been within the management's expectations and adequate allowances
for any uncollectable accounts receivables are maintained.

Segment Information
In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 superseded SFAS No. 14,
Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise, replacing the
"industry segment" approach with the "management" approach. The management
approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for
making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the
Company's reportable segments. SFAS No. 131 also requires disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The adoption of
SFAS No. 131 does not affect results of operations or financial position. The
Company operates within a single radio broadcasting segment within the
continental United States.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
This pronouncement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. Management does not believe the implementation of
this accounting pronouncement will have a material effect on its consolidated
financial statements.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in 1996 and 1997 have been reclassified to conform to the
1998 presentation.
NOTE 4 -- ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
1998 Radio Broadcasting Acquisitions and Dispositions
On February 20, 1998, Capstar Broadcasting and Chancellor Media entered
into an exchange agreement pursuant to which Chancellor Media would acquire
stations KTXQ-FM and KBFB-FM in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas, KODA-FM, KKRW-FM and
KQUE-AM in Houston, Texas, KPLN-FM and KYXY-FM in San Diego, California, and
WVTY-FM, WJJJ-FM, WXDX-FM and WDVE-FM in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (collectively,
the "Chancellor Exchange Stations") for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $637.5 million in a series of purchases and exchanges over a
three-year period. The Chancellor Exchange Stations were acquired by Capstar
Broadcasting in connection with the acquisition of SFX Broadcasting, Inc. in May
1998. On May 29, 1998, as part of the SFX acquisition, Chancellor Media
exchanged stations WAPE-FM and WFYV-FM in Jacksonville, Florida in exchange for
station KODA-FM in Houston, Texas and cash placed with a qualified intermediary
(discussed below). In the case of the remaining Chancellor Exchange Stations,
Capstar Broadcasting will identify mid-sized radio stations for exchange with
Chancellor Media. The purchase price for the remaining ten Chancellor Exchange
Stations will be approximately $494.3 million. Capstar Broadcasting and
Chancellor Media are currently assessing whether the terms of the exchange
agreement will be modified upon consummation of the merger with Chancellor
Media. During the pendency of the Chancellor Merger, the Company does not
anticipate effecting any exchanges with Chancellor Media.
Chancellor Media is providing services to the Chancellor Exchange Stations
(other than KODA-FM) pursuant to separate LMAs until such stations are
exchanged. Chancellor Media will retain the advertising revenues it generates
while it provides services to the Chancellor Exchange Stations under such LMAs.
During 1998, the Company received approximately $28.8 million in LMA fees from
Chancellor Media. The LMA fees will decrease as each Chancellor Exchange Station
is exchanged.

deemed value of the KODA Exchange was $143,250.
On May 29, 1998, due to governmental restrictions on multiple station

to Chancellor Media.
On May 29, 1998, Capstar Radio sold all of the outstanding capital stock of
Patterson Broadcasting, Inc. (the "Patterson Broadcasting Acquisition") (which
then owned and operated or programmed 22 FM and 12 AM stations) to the Company.
In addition, Pacific Star Communications, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Capstar Radio, sold radio stations KJSN-FM, KFIV-FM, KJAX-AM and KFRY-FM in the
Modesto/ Stockton, California market to the Company. Total consideration for the
foregoing purchases was approximately $223,000 in cash and approximately $11,500
due under the Capstar Radio Note. The Company funded the acquisition of
Patterson Broadcasting, Inc., and certain stations of Pacific Star
Communications, Inc. with proceeds from a loan by Bankers Trust Company, which
loan was refinanced with borrowings under the Capstar Radio Note.
For financial reporting purposes, the transaction in the preceding
paragraph has been treated as a transaction between entities under common
control. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities so acquired have been recorded
by the Company at historical cost in a manner similar to that in
pooling-of-interests accounting. The operating results of these businesses have
been included in the Company's financial statements from the date of the
Patterson Broadcasting Acquisition, the earliest date for which common control
of both entities existed.
On August 10, 1998, the Company exchanged one AM station in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania for another AM station in Cleveland, Ohio. On September 30, 1998,

respectively, carrying value of the station's net assets exchanged approximate
the fair value of the net assets received.
On October 5, 1998, the Company's parent contributed one FM station in
Albany, New York with a fair value and historical book value of $2.7 million to
the Company.

For financial statement purposes, all of the acquisitions described above,
with the exception of the Patterson Broadcasting Acquisition, were accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting, with the purchase price allocated to
the assets acquired (principally intangible assets) and the liabilities assumed
based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. Certain of the
recent transactions are based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of the
net assets acquired and are subject to final adjustment. The excess purchase
price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded
as FCC licenses and goodwill. The assets and liabilities of these acquisitions
and the results of their operations and cash flows for the period from the date
of acquisition are included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the consolidated
results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 as if the
foregoing transactions for any given year and the subsequent year had occurred
at the beginning of such year after giving effect to certain adjustments,
including amortization of FCC licenses and goodwill and interest expense on the
acquisition debt. These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative
purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred
had the acquisition been made as of that date or of results which may occur in
the future.

The aggregate contractual maturities of long-term debt for the years ending
December 31 are as follows: 1999 -- $372,903; 2000 -- $1,169; 2001 -- $378;
2002 -- $353; 2003 -- $313; thereafter -- $323,473.
The Capstar Radio Note is a $1,400,000 revolving credit agreement with
Capstar Radio, due on demand, with interest payable quarterly at an annual
floating rate equal to the per annum interest rate available to Capstar Radio
under its credit facility for revolving loans that are Eurodollar loans with a
three month interest period applicable thereto (7.7% at December 31, 1998).
Incidental to the SFX Merger, the Company repaid its senior credit
facility. No amounts are available under this facility.
On July 3, 1998, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the
Company's 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006, the Company redeemed
$154,000 aggregate principal amount of the 10 3/4% senior subordinated notes for
an aggregate purchase price of $172,800 including a $16,600 redemption premium
and $2,200 of accrued interest. (The carrying value of the 10 3/4% senior
subordinated notes approximated their fair value at the date of redemption).
The SFX Merger resulted in a change of control under the indentures
governing the 10 3/4% senior subordinated notes and the Company's 11 3/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2000 (in which case the Company is required to offer to
repurchase all outstanding notes at a specified price). Pursuant to change of
control offers to acquire all of the outstanding 10 3/4% senior subordinated
notes and 11 3/8% senior subordinated notes, each of which commenced on June 8,
1998, the Company purchased on July 10, 1998 $1,866 aggregate principal amount
of the 10 3/4% senior subordinated notes for an aggregate purchase price of
$1,915, including an $18 purchase premium and $31 of accrued interest (The
carrying value of the 10 3/4% senior subordinated notes approximated their fair
value at the date of redemption). No 11 3/8% senior subordinated notes were
tendered for repurchase.
To fund these purchases, Capstar Radio contributed $314,510 in cash to the
Company in exchange for stock of the Company.
To facilitate the Spin-Off, SFX Entertainment's 1998 acquisitions and its
financing thereof, the Company sought and obtained consents from the holders of
the 10 3/4% senior subordinated notes, holders of the 11 3/8% senior
subordinated notes and the holders of the Company's 12 5/8% Series E Cumulative
Exchangeable Preferred Stock. In connection with these consents, the Company
modified certain covenants. Fees and

expenses of approximately $18,000 were incurred by the Company in connection
with the consent solicitations and were reimbursed by SFX Entertainment. Such
charges are included in non-recurring and unusual charges.
In May 1996, the Company completed the placement of $450.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of its 10 3/4% senior subordinated notes (the "Note
Offering"). Interest is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The
notes are uncollateralized obligations of the Company and are subordinate to all
senior debt of the Company. The Company incurred issuance costs totaling $15.3
million related to the Note Offering which were recorded as deferred financing
costs. The effective interest rate on the notes is approximately 9.1% after
giving effect to revaluation at June 1, 1998.
Concurrently with the closings of the Note Offering, the Company completed
a tender offer (the "Tender Offer") and related consent solicitation with
respect to its 11 3/8% senior subordinated notes. SFX repurchased approximately
$79.4 million in principal amount of the $80.0 million in principal amount of
the 11 3/8% senior subordinated notes outstanding in the Tender Offer. The
Company also entered into a supplemental indenture amending the terms of the
indenture pursuant to which the remaining 113/8% senior subordinated notes were
issued.
In March 1995, the Company entered into a $50.0 million senior credit
facility (the "Old Credit Facility"). On May 31, 1996 all amounts outstanding
under the Old Credit Facility were repaid.
In connection with the repurchase of the 11 3/8% senior subordinated notes
and the repayment of the Old Credit Facility, the Company recorded an
extraordinary loss on debt retirement of approximately $15.2 million to reflect
the cost of prepayment premiums and the write-off of debt issuance costs.
The 10 3/4% CCI Notes indenture contains restrictive provisions that, among
other things, limit the ability of CCI to incur additional indebtedness, pay
dividends or make certain other restricted payments, or merge or consolidate
with or sell all or substantially all of their assets to any other person.
Substantially, all of the assets of CCI are restricted.
The Company's 10 3/4% senior subordinated notes and 11 3/8% senior
subordinated notes are guaranteed by every direct and indirect subsidiary of the
Company. There are no non-guarantor subsidiaries. The guarantees by the
guarantor subsidiaries are full, unconditional, and joint and several. All of
the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly-owned. The Company is a holding company
with no assets, liabilities or operations other than its investment in its
subsidiaries. Separate financial statements of each guarantor have not been
included as management has determined that they are not material to investors.
NOTE 8 -- SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY
Common Stock
In connection with the SFX Merger, the Company amended its charter to
provide for 10,210,000 shares of authorized stock consisting of 200,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock and 10,010,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.01. Upon the filing of the new amendment all existing outstanding common
shares were immediately converted to .000064592 new Class A common shares. All
share information included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto (with the exception of authorized shares) has been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse split.
In May 1996, 2 shares of Class A Common Stock and 9 shares of Class B
Common Stock were repurchased from the Company's former President. In July 1997,
the Company repurchased .2 shares of Class A Common for $111. In addition, in
September 1997, the Company repurchased .03 shares of Class A Common Stock for
$19.

Stock Options
The Company has elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to employees" and related interpretations in accounting for its employee
stock options, as opposed to the fair value accounting provided for under SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
Under stock option plans adopted annually since 1993, stock options to
acquire Class A Common were granted to certain officers, key employees and other
key individuals who performed services for the Company. Options granted under
these plans were generally granted at option prices equal to the fair market
value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. As such, under APB
Opinion No. 25, no expense was recorded in the statement of operations. Terms of
the options, determined by the Company, provided that the maximum term of each
options shall not exceed ten years and the options become fully exercisable
within five years of continued employment with the exception of certain options
granted to executives which were fully vested upon issuance.
Capstar Radio purchased and settled all outstanding options and warrants of
SFX resulting in SFX recording approximately $74,000 in expense and a
corresponding credit to paid-in capital.

The Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series D Cumulative Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock were redeemed coincidental with the SFX Merger.
The shares of Series E Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Series
E Preferred Stock") receive cumulative dividends equal to the rate of 12 5/8%
per annum which are paid by the Company on January 15 and July 15 of each year.
Dividends may be paid, at the Company's option, on any dividend payment date
occurring on or before January 15, 2002, either in cash or in additional shares
of Series E Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference equal to the amount
of such dividend. Subject to certain conditions, the shares of Series E
Preferred Stock are exchangeable in whole or in part, on a pro rata basis, at
the option of the Company, on any dividend payment date, for the Company's
12 5/8% Senior Subordinated Exchangeable Debentures due 2006 ("CCI Exchange
Notes"), provided that immediately after giving effect to any partial exchange,
there shall be outstanding Series E Preferred Stock with an aggregate
liquidation preference of not less than $50,000 and not less than $50,000 in
aggregate principal amount of CCI Exchange Notes. The Company is required,
subject to certain conditions, to redeem all of the Series E Preferred Stock
outstanding on October 31, 2006.
On July 3, 1998, pursuant to the terms of the certificate of designation
that governs the Series E Preferred Stock (the "CCI Certificate of
Designation"), the Company redeemed $119,600 aggregate liquidation preference,
or 1,196,011 shares, of the Series E Preferred stock for an aggregate purchase
price of $141,700, including a $15,100 redemption premium and $7,000 of accrued
dividends. (The carrying value of the Series E Preferred Stock approximated its
fair value at the date of redemption).
The SFX Merger resulted in a change of control under the CCI Certificate of
Designation (in which case the Company is required to offer to repurchase all
outstanding shares at a specified price). Pursuant to change of control offers
to acquire all of the outstanding Series E Preferred Stock, which commenced on
June 8, 1998, the Company purchased on July 10, 1998 $500 aggregate liquidation
preference, or 5,004 shares, of the Series E Preferred Stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $536, including a $5 purchase premium and $31 of accrued

Prior to the SFX Merger, the Company filed a consolidated tax return for
federal income tax purposes. Subsequent to the SFX Merger, the Company is
included in the consolidated federal income tax return of its parent. As a
result of current losses, the benefit for which realization was not reasonably
assured, no federal tax provision was recorded for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1997. The current income tax expense recorded during 1996, 1997 and
1998 is a result of current state and local income taxes in certain states where
subsidiaries file separate tax returns and state and federal income tax expense
for the seven months ended December 31, 1998 resulting primarily from taxable
gains on asset sales.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had total net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $21,300 that will expire from 2007 through 2013,
which all result from net operating losses of acquired subsidiaries. The
acquired net operating losses are SRLY to the acquired subsidiaries that
generated the losses. Management considers that it is more likely than not that
a portion of these loss carryforwards will not ultimately be realized, and has
recorded a related valuation allowance as of December 31, 1998.

agreement is indefinite and includes provisions which consider the consequences

NOTE 11 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On August 29, 1997, two lawsuits were commenced against SFX and its
directors in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (New Castle County).
The plaintiffs in the lawsuits are Harbor Finance Partners (C.A. No. 15891) and
Steven Lieberman (C.A. No. 15901). The complaints are identical and allege that
the consideration to be paid as a result of the SFX Merger to the holders of
SFX's Class A common stock is unfair and that the individual defendants have
breached their fiduciary duties. Both complainants seek to have the actions
certified as class actions and seek to enjoin the SFX Merger or, in the
alternative, monetary damages. The defendants have filed answers denying the
allegations, and discovery has commenced. The parties have agreed that the
lawsuits may be consolidated in one action entitled In Re SFX Broadcasting, Inc.
Shareholders Litigation (C.A. No. 15891).
On March 17, 1998, the parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding,
pursuant to which the parties have reached an agreement providing for a
settlement of the action (the "Settlement"). Pursuant to the Settlement, SFX has
agreed not to seek an amendment to the merger agreement to reduce the
consideration to be received by the stockholders of SFX in the SFX Merger in
order to offset SFX Entertainment's indemnity obligations. The Settlement also
provides for SFX to pay plaintiff's counsel an aggregate of $950, including all
fees and expenses as approved by the court. The Settlement is conditioned on the
(a) consummation of the SFX Merger, (b) completion of the confirmatory discovery
and (c) approval of the court. Pursuant to the Settlement, the defendants have
denied, and continue to deny, that they have acted in bad faith or breached any
fiduciary duty. There can be no assurance that the court will approve the
Settlement on the terms and conditions provided for therein, or at all. The
parties currently are engaging in confirmatory discovery.
On July 13, 1998, Noddings Investment Group, Inc. and Noddings Warrant
Limited Partnership ("Noddings") filed Civil Action No. 16538 in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County against CCI.
Noddings alleges that CCI breached a Warrant Agreement that Noddings contends
requires CCI to permit Noddings to exercise warrants in exchange for cash and
shares of stock of SFX Entertainment, Inc. Specifically, Noddings alleges that
CCI has violated the Warrant Agreement by permitting Noddings to receive cash in
exchange for its warrants, but refusing to convey shares of stock of SFX
Entertainment. In addition to suing on its own behalf, Noddings is seeking to
prosecute the action on behalf of a putative class comprised of all persons who
owned equivalent warrants on April 21, 1998 (the date immediately following the
record date of the distribution of the stock of SFX Entertainment to holders of
the stock of SFX) and their transferees and successors in interest. Noddings has
requested that the court (i) declare that on the exercise of its warrants CCI
transmit to plaintiffs and members of the class that it seeks to represent
$22.3725 in cash per warrant and 0.2983 shares of common stock of SFX
Entertainment per warrant, (ii) require CCI to pay 0.2983 shares of common stock
of SFX Entertainment per warrant and (if not previously paid) $22.3725 in cash,
to any putative class member that has exercised or exercises warrants after
April 20, 1998, (iii) in the alternative, award plaintiffs and members of the
putative class monetary damages in an amount to be determined at trial, and (iv)
award costs and attorney's fees.
In March 1999, the court issued an opinion dismissing two of Nodding's
counts and granting summary judgment in favor of Noddings on one count. The
court held that Noddings is entitled to 0.2983 shares of SFX Entertainment stock
per warrant. Capstar Communication intends to continue to defend this action
through a motion for reargument and if necessary an appeal.

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims that
arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the
amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not have a
material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations

The Company has entered into various operating leases, broadcast rights
agreements and employment agreements. Total rent expense was $2,903, $5,403,

NOTE 12 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Chancellor Media Transactions
Beginning in 1998, the Company retained Katz Media Group, Inc. ("Katz") as
its media representative to sell national spot advertising air time. Katz is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Chancellor Media. For the five months ended May 31,
1998 and the seven months ended December 31, 1998, the Company incurred $1.6
million and $2.3 million, respectively, for media representation services from
Katz.
Beginning in 1998, the Company broadcasts advertising over the Company's
portfolio of stations from the AMFM Radio Networks. The AMFM Radio Networks are
owned and operated by Chancellor Media. For the seven months ended December 31,
1998, the Company recorded $2.1 million in revenue relating to the AMFM Radio
Networks.
As stated in Note 4, in 1998, the Company began earning LMA revenue from
Chancellor Media under the Chancellor Exchange Agreement. For the seven months
ended December 31, 1998, the Company earned LMA fees of approximately $28,800
from the Chancellor Exchange Stations.
Prior to April 1996, SCMC, where Robert F.X. Sillerman, the Company's
former Executive Chairman, serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors and
Chief Executive Officer, had been engaged by the Company from time to time for
advisory services with respect to specific transactions. In April 1996, the
Company and SCMC entered into the SCMC Termination Agreement, pursuant to which
SCMC assigned to the Company its rights to provide services to, and receive fees
payable by each of, MMR and Triathlon in respect of such consulting and
marketing services to be performed on behalf of such companies, except for fees
related to certain transactions pending at the date of such agreement. In
addition, the Company and SCMC terminated the arrangement pursuant to which SCMC
performed financial consulting services for the Company. Upon consummation of
the MMR Merger, SCMC's agreement with MMR was terminated. Prior to consummation
of the MMR Merger, MMR paid an annual fee of $500 to SCMC and Triathlon paid
SCMC an annual fee of $300 (which increased to $500 effective January 1, 1997).

SCMC an amount of $500 per year in connection with transaction-related services
to be rendered by SCMC. However, if the agreement between SCMC and Triathlon is
terminated or if an unaffiliated person acquires a majority of the capital stock
of Triathlon the unearned fees must be repaid. Pursuant to the SCMC Termination
Agreement, the Company has agreed to continue to provide consulting and
marketing services to Triathlon until the expiration of their agreement on June
1, 2005, and not to perform any consulting or investment banking services for
any person or entity other than Triathlon in the radio broadcasting industry or
in any business which uses technology for the audio transmission of information
or entertainment. Pursuant to the SFX Merger, the Company transferred the
Triathlon consulting contract to SFX Entertainment. In consideration of the
foregoing agreements, the Company issued to SCMC warrants to purchase up to 39
shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price, subject to adjustment, of
$522,511 per share (the market price at the time the financial consulting
arrangement was terminated). The Company also forgave a $2.0 million loan made
by the Company to SCMC, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Pursuant to
such agreement, the former Chairman agreed with the Company that he would
supervise, subject to the direction of the Board of Directors, the performance
of the financial consulting and other services previously performed by SCMC for
the Company. During 1996, the Company received fees of $292 from MMR and $511
from Triathlon. During 1997, the Company received fees of $1,794 from Triathlon.
In connection with this agreement, the Company had a $44 receivable from
Triathlon at December 31, 1997.
In 1996, the Company paid to SCMC advisory fees of $4,000 in connection
with the Liberty acquisition, the Prism acquisition, the Greenville acquisition,
the Jackson acquisitions, the Greensboro acquisition and the Raleigh-Greensboro
acquisition. In addition, the Company paid SCMC, on behalf of MMR, a
non-refundable fee of $2,000 for investment banking services provided to MMR in
connection with the MMR Merger.
Prior to June 1996, the Company held a non-recourse note receivable from
the Company's former President in the amount of $2,000 which was secured by 9
shares of Class B Common Stock. The note bore interest at 6% per annum. Interest
income of $60 was accrued in 1996 on the loan. The loan and interest accrued
were forgiven in June 1996 pursuant to an agreement with the former President
and are included in non-recurring and unusual charges.
During the last quarter of 1996, the Company consolidated all of its
corporate office functions in New York. Prior to such time, the Company had an
agreement with the Company's former Chairman related to the maintenance of the
Company's New York Office whereby the Company reimbursed SCMC for certain office
expenses and salaries for certain employees of SCMC who provided services on
behalf of the Company. In addition certain of the Company's employees performed
certain services for other entities affiliated with SCMC. In connection with
SCMC Termination Agreement and the consolidation of the Company's Corporate
Office in New York, SCMC employees who provided services on behalf of the
Company became employees of the Company. Total reimbursements paid to SCMC for
office expenses and salaries totaled approximately $1,082 for the year ended
December 31, 1996. The reimbursements paid to SCMC in 1996 included $292 and
$261 of fees paid by MMR and Triathlon, respectively, directly to SCMC following
the effective date of the SCMC Termination Agreement. The timing of these
payments during the year were such that the Company had advanced amounts to SCMC
of up to $230 during the period.
The transactions above were not negotiated on an arms-length basis.
Accordingly, each transaction was approved by the Company's Board of Directors,
including the Company's independent directors, in accordance with the provisions
relating to affiliate transactions in the Company's by-laws, bank agreements and
Indenture, which provisions require a determination as to the fairness of the
transactions to the Company.
The Company's former Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Director
is Of Counsel to the law firm of Baker & McKenzie. Baker & McKenzie served as
counsel to the Company in certain matters up to the date of the SFX Merger.
Baker & McKenzie compensates the executive based, in part, on the fees it
receives

NOTE 13 -- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values
of the Company's financial instruments for which the estimated fair value of the
instrument differs significantly from its carrying amount at December 31, 1997
and 1998. The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at
which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
parties.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instrument:
Cash, short-term debt and accounts receivable and payable: the
carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
these instruments.
Long-term debt: The fair value of the Company's senior subordinated
notes is based on quoted market prices. As amounts outstanding under the
Company's Capstar Radio Note bear interest at current market rates, their
carrying amounts approximate fair market value.
Redeemable preferred stock: The fair value is estimated based on
quoted market prices.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND CASH FLOWS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND MERGER AGREEMENT
Organization and Nature of Business
Commodore Media, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is comprised of
radio stations that derive their revenue from local, regional and national
advertisers. The radio stations are located in the following markets:
Wilmington, Delaware; Hartsdale, Brewster, Patterson, Mt. Kisco, New York;
Huntington, West Virginia -- Ashland, Kentucky; Allentown -- Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania; Fort Pierce -- Stuart -- Vero Beach, Florida; and Fairfield
County, Connecticut. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal
course of business.
Merger Agreement
On October 16, 1996, the Company was acquired pursuant to a merger
agreement dated June 21, 1996 with Capstar Broadcasting Partners, Inc.
("Capstar") (the "Merger"), which is an indirect subsidiary of Hicks, Muse, Tate
& Furst Equity Fund III, L.P. The holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock, the holders of employee stock options and the holders of warrants
received $140 per share as consideration for the merger less, in the case of
option and warrant holders, the exercise price per share. In addition, the
Senior Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series A, $.01 par value per
share was redeemed, including all accrued and unpaid dividends.
The Company recognized as other expense approximately $12.7 million in
stock option compensation expense, and approximately $1.4 million of merger
related fees and expenses during the period ended October 16, 1996 in connection
with the Merger.
As a result of the Merger and the change of control effected thereby, the
Company was obligated to satisfy the existing deferred compensation and
employment agreements with its then President and Chief Executive Officer and
its deferred compensation agreement with its then Chief Operating Officer
resulting in a charge to other expense of approximately $1.1 million during the
period ended October 16, 1996. Furthermore, the Company was required to make an
offer to purchase the outstanding 13 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 at
a purchase price equal to 101% of their accreted value, plus any accrued and
unpaid interest. No requests for repurchase were made by the note holders.
As a result of the Merger, the Company did not proceed with its previously
announced intention to undertake an initial public equity offering and has,
therefore, withdrawn its registration statement filed on Form S-1 on May 17,
1996 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Included in other expenses
during the period ended October 16, 1996 are approximately $525,000 in various
fees and expenses incurred in connection with this filing.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and
transactions.
Short-Term Cash Investments
The Company considers investments which have a remaining maturity of three
months or less at the time of purchase to be short-term cash investments.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred income taxes are
provided for differences between the book and tax bases of assets and
liabilities.

Risks and Uncertainties
The preparation of consolidated statements of operations and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The Company's revenue is principally derived from local broadcast
advertisers who are impacted by the local economy. The Company routinely
assesses the financial strength of its customers. Credit losses are provided for
in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows in the form of an
allowance for doubtful accounts.
Accounting Periods
The Company maintains its interim consolidated statements of operations and
cash flows based upon the broadcast month end which always ends on the last
Sunday of the calendar month or quarter. The Company's fiscal year end and
fourth quarter ends on December 31.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation is provided for property, plant and equipment on the
straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

for the period ended October 16, 1996, and approximately $832,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995.
Property Held Under Capital Leases
The Company is the lessee of office equipment under capital leases expiring
in various years through 2004. The capital leases are depreciated over their
estimated productive lives of seven to ten years. Total rent expense was
approximately $383,000 for the period ended October 16, 1996 and approximately
$332,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.

expense amounted to approximately $450,000 for the period ended October 16, 1996
and approximately $385,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.

2. LONG-TERM DEBT
AT&T Senior Credit Facility
On March 13, 1996, the Company entered into a Senior Credit Facility with
AT&T Commercial Finance Corporation ("AT&T") pursuant to which AT&T will make
available to the Company senior secured (i) revolving loans in an amount up to
$30.0 million and (ii) accounts receivable loans in an amount which shall be the
lesser of (a) $5.0 million or (b) 85% of the net book value of the accounts
receivable of the Company (the "AT&T Senior Credit Facility"). The indebtedness
to AT&T is collateralized by the tangible and intangible assets and the capital
stock of all the Company's subsidiaries. Interest is payable monthly at a rate
of 3.5% over LIBOR (8.94% at October 16, 1996) and principal amortization of the
revolving loans and accounts receivable loans begins June 1, 1998 and November
30, 1997, respectively. The Company pays a commitment fee of .25% every six
months on the unused commitment.
Senior Subordinated Notes
The Senior Subordinated Notes bear cash interest at a rate of 7 1/2% per
annum on the principal amount until May 1, 1998 then at a rate of 13 1/4% per
annum until maturity, with interest payment dates on May 1 and November 1.
In 1995, the Company wrote off the balance of the unamortized deferred
financing costs on its retired debt of $443,521. Inasmuch as the Company had no
current federal taxable income and had fully reserved for its net deferred tax
assets, there was no tax effect attributable to this extraordinary item.
3. PREFERRED STOCK
Senior Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock
On May 1, 1996, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with CIBC WG Argosy Merchant Fund 2, LLC ("CIBC Merchant Fund"), pursuant to
which the CIBC Merchant Fund agreed to purchase from the Company, if and when
requested by the Company, up to an aggregate liquidation value of $12,500,000 of
Senior Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series A, $.01 par value per
share, of the Company in such amounts as the Company requested (the "Preferred
Stock Facility"). In connection with the Stamford Acquisition on May 30, 1996

The Company did not record a federal tax benefit on the taxable loss for

it was not assured that they could realize a benefit for such losses in the
future.
The Company received Internal Revenue Service approval and changed its tax
method of accounting for Federal Communications Commission ("the FCC") licenses
for the tax year ended December 31, 1995. The aggregate amount of cumulative
amortization that will be deductible ratably over six taxable years for the
Company and for tax purposes is approximately $12.1 million.

6. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into employment agreements with several executives
of the Company including its President and Chief Executive Officer, its
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and its Executive Vice
President and General Counsel. The agreements generally provide for terms of
employment, annual salaries, bonuses, eligibility for option awards and
severance benefits.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with its
then President and Chief Executive Officer under which he would be employed in
that capacity through 1996 and provided for annual salary requirements and
bonuses, and a Long-Term Incentive Payment ("LTIP"). In lieu of the LTIP, the
Company paid the then President $1.5 million in cash, issued $1.3 million
principal ($1.1 million net of
F-79

AND CASH FLOWS -- (CONTINUED)
discount) of Senior Subordinated Notes to a trust for his benefit and agreed to
provide $1.5 million in deferred compensation which accrues interest at a rate
of 7% and is payable in 2003. The Company recorded the deferred compensation on
April 21, 1995 at its calculated net present value of $921,000. The aggregate
effect of the employment agreement restructuring was to charge $1.8 million to
long-term incentive compensation expense during 1995. In addition, the then
President's amended employment agreement extended his date of employment through
April 30, 1998, granted stock options to him to acquire 28,313 shares of Class A
Common Stock at an exercise price of $45 per share and provided for annual
bonuses based upon specific operating results of Capstar Radio.
The Company also amended its then existing employment agreement with its
then Chief Operating Officer on April 21, 1995. The prior employment agreement
provided for a long-term incentive based upon the increase in certain station
values. The amended employment agreement provided for a cash payment of $400,000
on April 21, 1995 and deferred compensation of $346,000 which accrues interest
at a rate of 7% and is payable in 2003. The Company recorded the deferred
compensation on April 21, 1995 at its calculated net present value of $213,000.
The aggregate effect of the employment agreement restructuring was to charge
$188,800 to long-term incentive compensation expense during 1995. In addition,
the amended employment agreement extended his date of employment through April
30, 1999, granted stock options to acquire 28,313 shares of Class A Common Stock
at an exercise price of $45 per share and provides for annual bonuses based upon
specific operating results of the Company.
As a result of the Merger and the change of control effected thereby, the
Company was obligated to satisfy the existing deferred compensation and
employment agreements with its then President and Chief Executive Officer and
its deferred compensation agreement with its then Chief Operating Officer,
resulting in an additional charge to operations of approximately $1.1 million
which was recorded in the period ended October 16, 1996. Furthermore, all stock
options for the aforementioned officers, as well as for all holders, were
redeemed at $140 per share, less the exercise price of $45 per share at the time
of the Merger. The Company's then President and Chief Executive Officer resigned
his position effective October 16, 1996 as required by the Merger Agreement.
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the period ended October 16, 1996 and the year ended December 31,
1995, the Company paid the majority stockholder a salary of approximately
$185,000 and $175,000, respectively.

1. Assets. On the date (the "Closing Date") of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing"), Buyer shall
purchase from Seller, and Seller shall sell to Buyer, substantially all of the
assets, properties, interests and rights of Seller, real and personal, tangible
and intangible, owned or leased by Seller which are used or held for use in the

licenses, permits and authorizations of any governmental authority, including
the FCC, which FCC licenses, permits and authorizations are listed on Schedule

listed on Schedule 1-A hereto (the "Assumed Contracts"); and (d) goodwill
related to the Station. The assets conveyed (the "Assets") will include all
replacements and additions thereto between the date of this Agreement and the
Closing Date. Seller agrees that it shall convey the Assets to Buyer free and
clear of all liens, pledges, voting agreements, voting trusts, proxy agreements,
claims, security interests, restrictions, mortgages, deeds of trust, tenancies,
and other possessory interests, conditional sale or other title retention

2. Purchase Price. The total purchase price for the Assets (the
"Purchase Price") will be $8,500,000. The purchase price will be satisfied by
the termination by Buyer of the letter of credit reimbursement obligations owing
from Seller to Buyer in an aggregate principal amount of $8,500,000 at the
Closing.
3. Assumption of Liabilities and Obligations. As of the Closing Date,
Buyer shall assume and undertake to pay, discharge and perform all the
obligations and liabilities of Seller relating to the Station under the Assumed
Contracts relating to the time period beginning on or arising out of events
occurring on or after the Closing Date. All other obligations and liabilities of
Seller, including (i) obligations or liabilities under any contract not included
in the Assumed Contracts, (ii) obligations or liabilities under any Assumed
Contract for which a consent to assignment, if required, has not been obtained
as of the Closing Date, (iii) any obligations and liabilities arising under the
Assumed Contracts that relate to the time period prior to the Closing Date and
(iv) any forfeiture, claim or pending litigation or proceeding relating to the
business or operations of the Station prior to the Closing Date, shall remain

the first sentence of this paragraph 3, Buyer, directly or indirectly, shall
assume no liabilities or obligations of Seller and shall not be liable therefor.
4. FCC and Closing. Within ten days after the execution of this
Agreement, Buyer and Seller will file an application with the FCC seeking

FCC, together with consent by the FCC to any pending renewal application with
respect to the Station's FCC licenses, shall be hereinafter referred to as the
"FCC Consents." Seller shall comply with all FCC rules and requirements
regarding local public notice in a timely manner and, upon completion of the
publication of local notice, shall provide to Buyer a copy of such notice with a
statement listing the times at which such notice was broadcast on the Station.
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in this
Agreement, the Closing will take place at the offices of Buyer in Austin, Texas,
at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the 10th business day after the day on which the
initial grant of all FCC Consents (the "Initial Grant") has become a Final Order
(as hereinafter defined). At the election of Buyer, the receipt of a Final Order
may be waived, and in such case the Closing will occur after the Initial Grant
on a date selected by Buyer on at least five business days' prior notice to
Seller. "Final Order" means the written action or order issued by the FCC
setting forth the FCC Consents (without the inclusion of any adverse conditions
affecting Buyer's operation or ownership of the Station) and (a) which has not
been reversed, stayed, enjoined, set aside, annulled or suspended and (b) with
respect to which (i) no requests have been filed for administrative or judicial
review, reconsideration, appeal or stay, and the time for filing any such
requests and for the FCC to set aside the action on its own motion has expired,
or (ii) in the event of review, reconsideration or appeal, such review,
reconsideration or appeal has been denied and the time for further review,
reconsideration or appeal has expired. At the Closing, Buyer and

(b) No Conflicts; Required Filings and Consents Except for the FCC
Consents, the execution, delivery and performance of Seller's
Agreements by Seller (i) does not require the consent of any
governmental entity or third party, (ii) will not conflict with or
violate any applicable law or any judgment, order or ruling of any
<PAGE> 4
Mr. R. Steven Hicks

July 6, 1998
government authority having jurisdiction over Seller, (iii) will not,
directly or indirectly, conflict with or constitute a breach or default
under any agreement, document, instrument, license or permit to which
Seller is a party or is subject, and (iv) will not result in the
creation of any Lien on the Assets.
(c) Licenses; FCC Matters. Seller is the authorized legal holder of
all licenses, permits and authorizations from governmental and
regulatory authorities which are issued and currently required for the
lawful operation of the Station and all of such licenses, permits or
authorizations, including all licenses, permits and authorizations
issued by the FCC, are in full force and effect, are not subject to any
restrictions or conditions limiting or restricting the full operation
of the Station and are listed on Schedule 6(c) hereto. There are no
pending or, to the best knowledge of Seller, threatened proceedings
which could result in the revocation, modification or nonrenewal of
such licenses, permits and authorizations and Seller has no reason to
believe that such licenses, permits and authorizations will not be
renewed in their ordinary course. To the best knowledge of Seller,
there are no facts which would disqualify Seller as assignor of any FCC
license for the Station.
(d) Compliance with Applicable Law. Seller is in compliance with
all laws, regulations, rules and governmental orders applicable to the
Station and the Assets, and, to Seller's knowledge, Seller has not
violated such laws, regulations, rules or governmental orders in
connection with the Station, and no such violations have occurred which
would affect Seller's ability to perform its obligations hereunder.
(e) Absence of Litigation. Seller is not subject to any judgment,
injunction, grievance, order or arbitration decision relating to the
Assets or the Station, and there is no litigation or administrative
proceeding pending or, to the best of Seller's knowledge, threatened
against Seller or the Station relating to the Assets or which would
affect Seller's ability to perform its obligations hereunder.
(f) Liens; Assumed Contracts. Seller owns and has, and following
the Closing Buyer will have, good and marketable title to the Assets,
which Assets include all personal property necessary to construct the
broadcast tower and begin the business and operations of the Station.
Each of the Assumed Contracts (including each lease or sublease) is a
valid and binding obligation of Seller and is in full force and effect,
and Seller is not, and, to the knowledge of Seller, no other party is,
in default in any material respect under such Assumed Contracts
(including each lease or sublease). No person other than Seller has any
interest in any of the Assets. The Assets are free and clear of all
Liens.
(g) Personal Property. All of the personal property to be
transferred to Buyer
<PAGE> 5
Mr. R. Steven Hicks
Page 5

is in good and technically sound operating condition and repair, normal
wear and tear excepted, complies in all material respects with the
rules of the FCC and the FCC licenses for the Station, is sufficient to
operate the Stations in material compliance with the rules of the FCC
and the FCC licenses, is suitable for the purposes for which it is now
being used and has been maintained in a manner consistent with
generally accepted standards of good engineering practice.
(h) Disclosure. No representation or warranty made by Seller
and contained in this Agreement or in any exhibit, schedule, written
statement, certificate or other document delivered or to be delivered
by Seller pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits any material fact required
to make any statement contained herein or therein not misleading.
Seller is not aware of any impending or contemplated event or
occurrence that would cause any of the foregoing representations not to
be true and complete on the date of such event or occurrence as if made
on that date.
7. Certain Buyer Covenants. Buyer hereby makes the following covenants
to Seller:
(a) Buyer shall notify Seller of any litigation or
administrative proceeding pending or, to Buyer's best knowledge,
threatened against Buyer that challenges the transactions contemplated
hereby; and
(b) Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, control,
supervise or direct the operations of the Station, and such control,
supervision and direction shall remain and shall be the sole
responsibility of Seller.
8. Certain Seller Covenants. Seller hereby makes the following
covenants to Buyer:
(a) Seller shall operate the Station in all material respects in
accordance with the FCC license for the Station and all laws,
regulations and rules applicable to the Station; provided that Seller
is under no obligation to begin operation of the Station prior to the
Closing;
(b) Seller shall not knowingly take any action that would cause any
representation or warranty contained herein to become false or invalid,
and Seller shall notify Buyer of any change in any of Seller's
representations and warranties contained herein; provided, however,
that such notice shall not operate to cure any breach of such
representations or warranties;

qualified hereby) as of the Closing Date;

11. Cooperation. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate fully with one
another in taking any actions necessary or helpful to accomplish the

any third party; provided, however, that no party shall be required to take any
action which would have a material adverse effect upon it or any of its
affiliates.
12. Bulk Sales. Buyer and Seller agree to waive compliance with all
"bulk sales" or similar laws that may be applicable to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless
against any claim made against Buyer by any creditor as a result of failure to
comply with any such laws.
13. Confidentiality. Buyer and Seller shall each keep confidential all
information obtained by it with respect to the other in connection with this
Agreement, will use such information solely in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, and shall return all such information to the other party if
such transactions are not consummated for any reason.
14. Public Statements. Except for statements required by law or by any
listing agreements with any national securities exchange or the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or made in disclosures filed pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Act of 1934, Buyer and Seller
shall consult with each other before making any public statements with respect
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
15. Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Agreement, Buyer and Seller agree that Buyer shall be solely responsible for all
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
16. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to
Closing as follows:
(a) by written notice of Buyer to Seller or Seller to Buyer, if
the other breaches any of its representations or warranties contained herein
(without giving effect to any materiality qualifiers contained therein), in any
material respect, or defaults in the performance of its covenants or agreements
contained herein (without giving effect to any materiality qualifier contained
therein), in any material respect, and such breach or default shall not be cured
within thirty (30) days after the date notice of such breach or default is
served by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement; or
(b) by written notice of Buyer to Seller or Seller to Buyer, if
the FCC denies granting the FCC Consents or designates the application for a
trial-type hearing; or
(c) by written notice of Buyer to Seller or Seller to Buyer, if
there shall be in effect any judgment, decree or order that would prevent or
make unlawful the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or
(d) by written notice of Buyer to Seller, or by Seller to Buyer,
if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before the first
anniversary of the filing by the parties of the application for the FCC Consents
(the "Termination Date"); or
(e) by written notice of Buyer to Seller, if the FCC grants the
FCC Consents with conditions adverse to Buyer or its affiliates;
provided, however, that no party hereto may effect a termination hereof if such
party is then in material breach or default of this Agreement; and provided
further, that the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph shall
not relieve any party of any liability for breach of this Agreement prior to the
date of termination.
17. Specific Performance. Buyer and Seller recognize that if Seller
refuses to perform under the provisions of this Agreement, monetary damages
alone will not be adequate to compensate Buyer for its injury. Buyer shall
therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available,
to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement.
18. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or
obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto, whether by
operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that (a) upon notice to Seller
and without releasing Buyer from any of its obligations or liabilities
hereunder, Buyer may assign or delegate any or all of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement to any affiliate of Buyer, and (b) nothing in this
Agreement shall limit Buyer's ability to make a collateral assignment of its
rights under this Agreement to any institutional lender that provides funds to
Buyer or Buyer's designee without the consent of Seller. Seller shall execute an
acknowledgment of such assignment(s) and collateral assignments in such forms as
Buyer or its
<PAGE> 8
Mr. R. Steven Hicks
Page 9
July 6, 1998
institutional lenders may from time to time reasonably request; provided,
however, that unless written notice is given to Seller that any such collateral
assignment has been foreclosed upon, Seller shall be entitled to deal
exclusively with Buyer as to any matters arising under this Agreement or any of
the other agreements delivered pursuant hereto. In the event of such an
assignment, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding on Buyer's assigns.
19. Amendment. No amendment, waiver of compliance with any provision or
condition hereof or consent pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective unless
evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any amendment, waiver or consent is sought.
20. Governing Law. Seller hereby irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of any state or federal court in Texas with respect to any action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. In this regard,
Buyer shall have the exclusive right to select among the available state and
federal courts in Texas. The parties hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in
respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such state
or federal court selected by Buyer. Seller hereby irrevocably waives any right
that Seller otherwise might have (i) to remove such action or proceeding (or any
claims within such action or proceeding) to a federal court in the event that
Buyer selects a state court forum or (ii) to transfer such action or proceeding
(or any claims within such action or proceeding) to any court other than the
court selected by Buyer. The parties hereby consent to and grant to any such
court jurisdiction over the persons of such parties and over the subject matter
of any such dispute and agree that delivery or mailing of any process or other
papers in the manner provided herein, or in such other manner as may be
permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.
21. Notice. All notices, requests, consents, waivers and other
communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been given (a) if transmitted by facsimile, upon
acknowledgment of receipt thereof in writing by facsimile or otherwise; (b) if
personally delivered, upon delivery or refusal of delivery; (c) if mailed by
registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, upon delivery or refusal of delivery; or (d) if sent by a nationally
recognized overnight delivery service, upon delivery or refusal of delivery. All
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be
given hereunder shall be addressed to the respective party to whom such notice,
consent, waiver or other communication relates at the above listed addresses for
Buyer and Seller.
22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together
will constitute one and the same instrument.
<PAGE> 9
Mr. R. Steven Hicks
Page 10
July 6, 1998
23. Severability. Buyer and Seller agree that if one or more provisions
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, this Agreement shall be
construed with the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision deleted, and the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the exhibits hereto embody the
entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto and supersede any and
all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the matters
provided for herein.
25. No Liability. Seller agrees that no stockholder, director or
officer of Buyer or its affiliates shall have any personal or individual
liability for the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement or any other
agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement other than as an
assignee of this Agreement.
26. Further Actions. After the Closing Date, Seller shall execute and
deliver such other certificates, agreements, conveyances, and other documents,
and take such other action, as may be reasonably requested by Buyer in order to
transfer and assign to, and vest in, Buyer the Assets pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.
27. No Reversionary Interest. The parties expressly agree, pursuant to
Section 73.1150 of the FCC rules, that Seller does not retain any right to
reassignment in the future of any of the FCC licenses transferred pursuant to
this Agreement or to operate or use the facilities of the Station for any period
beyond the Closing Date.

[CHANCELLOR MEDIA CORPORATION OF LOS ANGELES LETTERHEAD]
January 2, 1998
Mr. R. Steven Hicks
President and Chief Executive Officer
Capstar Broadcasting Corporation
600 Congress Avenue, Suite 1400
Austin, Texas 78705
Dear Steve:
This letter, when signed by both parties below, will set forth our
agreement regarding the affiliation of Capstar Broadcasting Corporation
("Capstar") with the AMFM Radio Network (the "Network"), a division of
Chancellor Media Corporation ("Chancellor").
Upon execution of this letter, Capstar will affiliate with the Network
on the following terms and conditions:
1. Capstar's affiliation will include all Capstar-owned and/or
operated radio stations as of January 4, 1998, excluding only (i) those
stations which the Network has previously indicated would be inappropriate for
affiliation (as indicated on Schedule 1 hereto), and (ii) Capstar stations
licensed to communities in Alaska and Hawaii. All radio stations acquired buy
Capstar or placed under Capstar's management after January 4, 1998 (including
all radio stations owned or operated by SFX Broadcasting, Inc. ("SFX Stations")
from and after the Capstar-SFX merger closing, or such earlier date on which
any SFX Station is placed under Capstar's management) will become affiliates,
at the Network's sole discretion, on the earliest date on which maximum RADAR
reporting is feasible. (If the Network opts to exclude any post-January 4, 1998
acquired Capstar station from the Network, Capstar shall have the right to
require such affiliation by waiving the January 3, 1999 expiration date set
forth in Section 4 hereof and agreeing instead to a full, one-year term for
that Capstar station, commencing on its affiliation date.) The Network shall,
at its discretion, assign each Capstar affiliate to a particular demographic or
lifestyle network among the demographic and lifestyle networks maintained by
the Network from time to time.
2. All Capstar's affiliates shall be contractually obligated to clear
100% of the weekly inventory, with the exception of commercials deemed
unsuitable for broadcast in a particular Capstar community of license. (The
Network inventory shall include a maximum of one (1) minute each
<PAGE> 2
hour between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and midnight, Monday through Sunday.)
Capstar affiliates shall timely declare through appropriate Network reporting
forms scheduled air times for all Network commercial spots. All Capstar
affiliates will submit weekly affidavits of performance within ten working days
after the close of each broadcast week. (Absent persistent or chronic breaches
of this requirement, the failure to timely submit weekly affidavits of
performance shall be preceded by a notice and a five-day cure period before
such failure will constitute a breach of this letter agreement.)
3. Capstar affiliates will be compensated in accordance with the
following formula: each station shall receive a percentage of the Net Revenue
earned by the demographic or lifestyle network to which it has been assigned.
Each station's percentage shall be equal to that station's proportional
contribution of Weighted Audience to the total Weighted Audience of its sales
network. For purposes of this agreement, "Net Revenue" shall mean gross sales
revenues minus direct and allocated network costs. (Network cost allocations
shall be made on the same basis as such allocations are made to Chancellor
stations which are affiliates of the Network.) "Weighted Audience" shall men
the most recent Arbitron-rated Total US Average Quarter Hour Audience, Monday
through Sunday, 6a-12 midnight in a particular audience demo (either 18-49
adults or 25-54 adults) specified by the Network, adjusted by a weighting
factor based on the size of the DMA market. (DMA markets 1 through 30 are
weighted in descending order. For example, New York is DMA #1 and would have a
weighting of 1.30; Philadelphia is market #4, and would have a weighting of
1.27. Markets 31 and below all will have a weighting factor of 1.0). Initial
compensation will be based on the Spring 1997 Arbitron Total US book.
Compensation adjustments will be made in DMA's ranked 1 through 50 twice each
year on the first Monday in April and the first Monday in October, based on the
most recent Fall/Spring Arbitron Total US two-book average. In DMA markets
below DMA number 50, adjustments will be made once each year on the first
Monday in October, based on the most recent Spring Arbitron Total US book.
Payment of station compensation is predicated upon 100% clearance of the weekly
commercial inventory. If any Capstar Station affiliate clears 90% or more, but
less than 100%, of its weekly Network commercial inventory, that Station shall
receive a pro rata weekly Network commercial inventory, it shall be deemed to
be in breach of this agreement and, in addition to any other remedy available
to the Network, that affiliate shall receive no compensation whatsoever
therefor.
4. The Network affiliation of all current Capstar stations will be for
a term of one year, commencing on January 5, 1998, and terminating on January
3, 1999. For all Capstar stations acquired after January 4, 1998, the
affiliation term shall commence on the date on which such stations become
affiliates, as described above. Except as provided in Section 1 hereof, all
affiliations for Capstar stations which commence after January 4, 1998 shall
terminate on January 3, 1999.
5. Capstar agrees to make reasonable efforts to assist in the
publicizing of its affiliation with the Network and will, upon reasonable
requests from the Network, make appropriate contacts with and comments to the
press regarding that affiliation.
As you know, Chancellor and Capstar are presently engaged in ongoing
discussions regarding a transaction or series of transactions under which
Chancellor would acquire certain SFX Stations
<PAGE> 3
following the merger of SFX Broadcasting, Inc. and Capstar (The "Transaction").
If agreement regarding the Transaction is not reached and reduced to a
definitive agreement by January 21, 1998, either Capstar or Chancellor may
terminate this letter agreement upon ninety (90) days written notice to the
other party, so long as such notice is given by February 28, 1998. In the event
of such termination, Capstar and Chancellor will be returned to the status quo
ante, and nothing in this letter agreement may be used by either party in
connection with any dispute which may ensue regarding Capstar's affiliation
with the Network, provided however, that Capstar's right to receive
compensation for advertising run prior to the date of termination shall survive
the termination of this agreement.
For your information, AMFM Radio Networks is a division of Chancellor
Media Corporation of Los Angeles, which is a subsidiary of Chancellor Media
Corporation.
Please indicate your agreement by executing one copy of this letter
and returning it to me at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
CHANCELLOR MEDIA CORPORATION OF LOS ANGELES

<PAGE> 6
(a) The territory in a New Agreement in which a KRG Firm
shall be excluded from the representation of a Capstar Station, Gulfstar
Station or Other Station shall be the excluded territory described in the
applicable Schedule to this Master Agreement. If no excluded territory is
described in the applicable Schedule, the excluded territory shall be the
excluded territory contained in the agreement in effect for the representation
of such Capstar Station, Gulfstar Station, or Other Station on the day before
the effective date of this Master Agreement; provided however, that the Capstar
Station, Gulfstar Station or Other Station, at its option, may select as the
excluded territory for such Station (i) a 50-mile radius from the studio of
such Station, (ii) if the KRG Firm has no office in the state in which such
Station is located, the state in which such Station is located, or (iii) if
there are other Stations represented by a KRG Firm in the market in which such
Capstar Station, Gulfstar Station or Other Station is located, the excluded
territory in the agreement for the representation of any other Station in the
market in which the Capstar Station, Gulfstar Station or Other Station is
located. The territory in a New Agreement in which a KRG Firm shall be excluded
from the representation of an Additional Station shall be the excluded
territory contained in the agreement in effect for the representation of such
Station on the day before the effective date of the New Agreement for
representation of such Additional Station, whether such prior agreement was
with a KRG Firm or another company; provided, however, that the Additional
Station, at its option, may select as the excluded territory (i) a 50-mile
radius from the studio of the Additional Station, (ii) if the KRG Firm has no
office in the state in which the Additional Station is located, the state in
which the Additional Station is located or (iii) if there are other Stations

(b) Subject to subparagraph (c) below and subparagraph (iv)
of the definition of National Broadcast Advertising to be contained in each New
Agreement, excluded accounts for each Capstar Station, Gulfstar Station and
Other Station represented by a national sales representative whether or not
such representative is a KRG Firm shall be those in effect on the day before
the Effective Date of the Master Agreement unless otherwise set forth in
Schedule G to this Master Agreement. Subject to subparagraph (d) below and
subparagraph (iv) of the definition of National Broadcast Advertising to be

shall be as set forth in the agreement for the representation of such Station,
whether with a KRG Firm or another, in effect the day before the effective date

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties will have the
right at the commencement of representation to negotiate changes in the
excluded accounts with respect to the New Agreement for any Capstar Station,

agree, then the excluded accounts shall remain as they were prior to the
effective date of this Master Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of
this master agreement, the parties will have the right at the commencement of
representation to negotiate
-6-
<PAGE> 7
changes to excluded accounts with respect to a New Agreement for an Additional
Station. If they are unable to agree, then Capstar or Gulfstar, as applicable,
shall have the option to allow the excluded accounts to remain as they were
prior to the acquisition or commencement of Operation of such Additional
Station by a member of the Capstar Group, to grant representation of the
Additional Station to another station representative or self represent such
Additional Station without breach or violation of any of the provisions of this
Master Agreement, including Article 4 hereof.
4. Additional Stations.
4.1 Representation. No less than thirty (30) days before a
member of the Capstar Group acquires an Additional Station or commences
Operating an Additional Station pursuant to a LMA, it will notify Katz of such
prospective event. If the Additional Station is represented by a KRG Firm, such
KRG Firm shall continue to represent the Additional Station pursuant to a New
Agreement. Any Additional Station which is not represented by a KRG Firm at the
time of its acquisition by Capstar or Gulfstar, or the date Capstar or Gulfstar
commences to Operate the Additional Station, shall be represented pursuant to a
New Agreement by a KRG Firm selected by Katz with the consent of Capstar or
Gulfstar, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. If the applicable
parties are unable to agree upon a KRG Firm reasonably acceptable to both of
them, Sentry Radio Sales shall be the KRG Firm to represent such Additional
Station. Except as expressly provided in this Master Agreement, all provisions
of each New Agreement for the representation of each Additional Station,
including, but not limited to, commission rate, buyout and termination
provisions, shall be the same as those contained in the New Agreements for the
representation of the Capstar Stations or Gulfstar Stations, as applicable. All
applicable terms and provisions of this Master Agreement shall be applicable to
the representation of such Additional Stations so long as they are owned or
Operated by a member of the Capstar Group and this Master Agreement is in
effect.
4.2 Termination of Certain KRG Contracts. (a) If as a result
of the operation of Section 4.1 of this Master Agreement, a representation
agreement with a KRG Firm providing for a higher commission rate than 10% is to
be terminated, Capstar (or the applicable member of the Capstar Group) shall,
with respect to such Additional Station, at its option (i) accept an assignment
of such representation agreement, assume such representation agreement and
perform it in accordance with its terms; (ii) enter a New Agreement for the
representation of such Additional Station and simultaneously pay the KRG Firm
representing such Additional Station the amount, if any, by which the amount
Katz would have received in a buyout, if representation of such Additional
Station were being transferred to another station representative, exceeds the
commissions Katz is projected to receive between the Effective Date of the New
Agreement and December 30, 2005 (based upon the average monthly Station Net
Billing of the Additional Station for the 12 full months prior to the
termination of the Katz representation agreement and the commission rate the
Capstar Group will be paying pursuant to this Master Agreement, after giving
effect to such acquisition), or (iii) enter a New Agreement for the
representation of such
-7-
<PAGE> 8
Additional Station and Capstar and Gulfstar shall extend all of the New
Agreements as provided in Section 4.3 below.
(b) Effect of Certain Buyouts. If pursuant to Section 4.1 and
Article 6, Katz is required to buy-out a representation agreement providing for
the payment of a commission rate greater than 10% or for a term which extends
beyond December 30, 2005, then the applicable member of the Capstar Group shall
enter a New Agreement for the representation of such Additional Station and
simultaneously (i) reimburse Katz for the amount by which the total buy-out
Katz is required to pay to the other station representative in fulfillment of
its obligations under Article 6 below exceeds the commissions which Katz is
projected to receive between the effective date of such New Agreement and
December 30, 2005 (based upon the average monthly Station Net Billing for the
twelve months preceding its acquisition at the commission rate the Capstar
Group will be paying pursuant to this Master Agreement, after giving effect to
such acquisition), or (ii) all members of the Capstar Group shall extend all
the New Agreements as provided in Section 4.3 below.
4.3 Extension of New Agreements. If pursuant to Section 4.2,
an election is made to extend all of the New Agreements, each New Agreement
which has not been terminated, assigned or transferred by one or more members
of the Capstar Group (the "Non-Terminated Agreements") shall be extended by a
number of months (or a fraction thereof) equal to the Anniversary Extension (as
hereafter defined). The Anniversary Extension shall be that number of months
(or a fraction thereof) determined by dividing (a) either the aggregate amount
that would have been payable to Katz pursuant to the terminated agreement with
Katz less the amount projected to be payable to Katz under the New Agreement,
or the aggregate amount that Katz paid to the prior or terminated national
sales representative less the amount projected to be payable to Katz under the
New Agreement prior to December 30, 2005 (in either case based upon the
Additional Station's average monthly Station Net Billing for the twelve months
preceding its acquisition at the commission rate the Capstar Group will be
paying pursuant to this Master Agreement, after giving effect to such
acquisition) by (b) the Remaining Monthly Commissions. "Remaining Monthly
Commissions" shall mean (i) the Station Net Billing of the Stations subject to
Non-Terminated Agreements for the twelve (12) broadcast months immediately
preceding the effective date of the event giving rise to the rights provided in
this Section 4.3, multiplied by the commission rate then in effect pursuant to
Section 3.1 hereof, divided by (ii) twelve (12). Each extension to a New
Agreement pursuant to this section will be evidenced by an amendment to such
New Agreement.
5. Additional Enhancements.
5.1 Unwired Network. Whenever a Station participates in an
unwired network buy, the Station shall be paid by Katz for such broadcast
advertising time, net of agency commissions, within ninety (90) days after the
close of the Month in which such schedule is broadcast. If the billing is not
paid within one hundred fifty (150) days after the close of the
-8-
<PAGE> 9
Month in which such schedule is broadcast, the owner or entity Operating such
Station shall repay the KRG Firm representing such Station the amount paid for
such billing. If the amount is subsequently collected by the Station, the KRG
Firm representing such Station shall be paid its commission on the amount
collected, or if the amount is subsequently collected by the KRG Firm, the KRG
Firm will pay the Station the amount collected less its commission.
5.2 Consideration.
(a) As initial consideration for Capstar and Gulfstar
executing and delivering this Master Agreement, agreeing to appoint KRG Firms
as sole national representative of all of the Stations and performing
hereunder, Katz shall pay Capstar and Gulfstar a total of $300,000. Such
consideration shall be paid thirty days after all of the New Agreements for the
representation of all of the Capstar Stations and Gulfstar Stations are
executed and delivered by Capstar and Gulfstar, to be divided and allocated
between Capstar and Gulfstar in such amount as they mutually direct Katz.
(b) As additional consideration for Capstar and Gulfstar
executing and delivering this Master Agreement, agreeing to appoint KRG Firms
as sole national representative of the Other Stations and Additional Stations
and performing hereunder:
(i) If at the end of any Month the Total Gross
Billings of the Stations achieve an
"Additional Consideration Level" as defined
below, Katz shall pay Capstar and Gulfstar
an aggregate of $150,000 with respect to
each Additional Consideration Level
achieved, payable 60 days after the close
of such Month and to be divided between
Capstar and Gulfstar as they mutually
direct Katz.
(ii) For purposes of this paragraph (b), an
"Additional Consideration Level" is Total
Gross Billings of $15,000,000 and each
additional $5,000,000 increment of Total
Gross Billings. For example, if Total Gross
Billings at the end of the Month of January
1997 are $15,500,000, then an Additional
Consideration Level shall have been
achieved and $150,000 would be due and
payable by Katz. If, thereafter, Total
Gross Billings at the end of the Month of
February 1997 are $26,000,000, an
additional two Additional Consideration
Levels shall have been achieved and
$300,000 (in addition to the $150,000
already due and payable) would be due and
payable by Katz as and when provided in
subparagraph (b)(i) above. If, however,
Total Gross Billings at the end of the
Month of February 1997 instead are
$14,500,000 and Total Gross Billings at the
end of the Month of March 1997 instead are
$15,500,000, no Additional Consideration
Level shall have been attained at the end
of the Month of March 1997, and the next
Additional Consideration Level will be
achieved at the end of the Month in
-9-
<PAGE> 10
which Total Gross Billings exceed
$20,000,000. No additional consideration
shall be paid a second time until the next
higher Additional Consideration Level is
attained and additional consideration is to
be paid only once when a particular
Additional Consideration Level is achieved.
(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of
subparagraphs (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above, at
the end of the Month that Total Gross
Billings of the Stations equal or exceed
$50,000,000, Katz shall pay a one time
amount of additional consideration of
$500,000 in addition to the $150,000
additional consideration payment that will
remain payable pursuant to subparagraphs
(b)(i) and (b)(ii) above. Such amount shall
be paid to Capstar and Gulfstar in such
proportion and amount as Capstar and
Gulfstar mutually direct.
(iv) As additional consideration for Capstar
executing and delivering this Master
Agreement and appointing KRG Firms as sole
national sales representative for the
Stations listed on Schedule G hereto (the
"Suburban Stations"), Katz shall pay
Capstar $160,000 in four equal consecutive
quarterly installments of $40,000 each,
payable on the last day of each calendar
quarter commencing March 31, 1997. If in
the Year 1997 the Total Gross Billings of
the Suburban Stations do not exceed
$2,500,000, an additional amount of $80,000
shall be paid to Capstar in the Year 1998
in four equal consecutive quarterly
installments of $20,000 each, payable on
the last day of each calendar quarter in
1998.
5.3 Market Exclusivity. A KRG Firm representing a Station
will not represent another radio station in the same market as such Station
(unless owned or Operated by a member of the Capstar Group) without the prior
written consent of the member of the Capstar Group which owns or Operates such
Station. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Katz may transfer representation of
a Station from one KRG Firm to another KRG Firm with the prior written consent
of the member of the Capstar Group which owns or Operates such Station, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and (b) a KRG Firm (other
than Sentry Radio Sales unless it is so permitted pursuant to the following
sentence) which does not represent a Station in a particular market may
represent a radio station in such market even though another KRG Firm is
representing a Station in the same market. Without limiting the provisions of
the first sentence of this Section 5.3, if Capstar or Gulfstar do not own or
Operate a Station in markets 75-250 (ranked by Metropolitan Statistical Area),
then Sentry Radio Sales (and its successors) will not represent another radio
station in any such market without Capstar's and Gulfstar's prior written
consent.
5.4 Buyouts. If in any Year, Capstar or Gulfstar shall sell
to a person or entity that is not a Subsidiary of Capstar or Gulfstar the
license of a Station or Stations representing
-10-
<PAGE> 11
10% or less of Total Gross Billings in the prior Year: (a) if such sale occurs
in Years 1997, 1998 or 1999, the date contained in paragraphs 5(c) and 5(d) of
the New Agreements for the representation of such transferred Station or
Stations shall be amended prior to the sale of such Station or Stations to the
date which is four years after the date of this Master Agreement; (b) if such
sale occurs in Year 2000, 2001 or 2002, the date contained in paragraphs 5(c)
and 5(d) of the New Agreements for the representation of such transferred
Station or Stations shall be amended to a date which is six years after the
date of this Master Agreement; and (c) if such sale occurs thereafter, the
dates contained in paragraphs 5(c) and 5(d) of the New Agreements for the
representation of such Station or Stations shall be amended to a date which is
eight years after the date of this Master Agreement.
Capstar or Gulfstar, as applicable, and the KRG Firm
representing the Station being sold or transferred shall amend the New
Agreement to carry out the intent and purpose of this Section 5.4 on the date
the sale is consummated.
5.5 Rate Protection. If after the date hereof a KRG Firm or
Katz shall enter into an agreement with the owner of a third-party group of
radio stations other than ABC/Disney, for the representation of all of the
radio stations in the third-party group, at the time such agreement is entered
into the total gross billings (calculated in a manner consistent with the
calculation of Total Gross Billings) of the third-party group is not greater
than the Total Gross Billings of the Stations and the commission rate to be
paid by such third-party group of stations is less than 10%, Katz shall reduce
the commission rate under all New Agreements to the rate being offered to such
third-party group, such reduction to take effect as of the date that the third
party agreement becomes effective. For purposes of this Section 5.5, any
noncash benefits, enhancements, credits, payments of the type granted to
Capstar pursuant to Article 5 hereof or signing bonuses shall not be deemed to
reduce the commission rate paid by the third-party group.
5.6 Certain Termination Rights. In the event Katz breaches
Section 5.3, paragraph (e) of Section 5.7 or Article 16 below, the sole remedy
of the Capstar Group shall be to terminate this Master Agreement and such of
the New Agreements as Capstar or Gulfstar elect to terminate. Each of Capstar
and Gulfstar may make separate elections under this Section 5.6. Each New
Agreement may be terminated only by a written notice of termination which shall
specify the date on which such New Agreement terminates. If a member of the
Capstar Group makes such election, such member of the Capstar Group shall pay
to the KRG Firm representing its Station or Stations all commissions pursuant
to paragraph 4(b) of each terminated New Agreement. Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Master Agreement or the New Agreements to the contrary, such
member of the Capstar Group shall have no obligation to pay the Termination
Obligations under any New Agreement so terminated.
5.7 Termination, Breach.
(a) If any member of the Capstar Group, Katz or any KRG Firm
has failed or refused to pay a monetary obligation claimed as due and owing by
the other party and there is a genuine dispute as to the amount due and if the
undisputed portion, if any, has been paid when
-11-
<PAGE> 12
due, then the sole remedy of the party claiming the amount due shall be to
commence legal action for the amount claimed to be due it.
(b) Except as provided in Section 5.6 and paragraph (a) of
this Section 5.7, if any member of the Capstar Group is in material breach of
this Master Agreement or any of the New Agreements, thirty (30) days after
notice of such material breach is given to such member of the Capstar Group by
Katz, unless such material breach is cured in such thirty (30) day period, Katz
at its option may in addition to all other remedies available to it at law, as
to Capstar, Gulfstar or both, as applicable, terminate this Master Agreement
and any or all of the New Agreements, provided however that if there is no
material breach under this Master Agreement and Stations representing less than
10% of Total Gross Billings of the entity (Capstar or Gulfstar) owning such
Stations are in material breach under the New Agreements, Katz shall have all
rights and remedies available to it at law (including the right to terminate
the agreements in material breach), but may not terminate this Master
Agreement.
(c) Except as provided in Section 5.6 and paragraphs (a) and
(f) of this Section 5.7, if Katz is in material breach under this Master
Agreement or any New Agreement, thirty (30) days after notice of such material
breach is given to Katz by Capstar or Gulfstar, unless such material breach is
cured in such thirty-day period, Capstar or Gulfstar, each at its option, may,
in addition to all other remedies available to it at law, terminate this Master
Agreement and one or more of the New Agreements, provided, however, in the
event of such termination, the applicable member of the Capstar Group
terminating a New Agreement shall pay to the KRG Firm representing it all
commissions pursuant to paragraph 4(b) of each terminated New Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no material breach under this Master
Agreement, but Katz is in material breach under New Agreements representing
less than 10% of the Total Gross Billing of the entity (Capstar or Gulfstar)
owning such stations, Capstar or Gulfstar, as applicable, shall have all rights
and remedies available to them at law (including the right to terminate the New
Agreements in material breach), but may not terminate this Master Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Master Agreement or the New Agreements
to the contrary, no member of the Capstar Group shall have any obligation to
pay the Termination Obligations under any New Agreement so terminated pursuant
to this subparagraph 5.7(c).
(d) In any action brought by any party, the parties
irrevocably waive the right to seek damages for loss of profits, consequential
damages, punitive damages or, except as specifically permitted in paragraph (f)
of this Section 5.7, injunctive relief.
(e) If control of Katz or substantially all of its assets is
sold to a person or entity that owns or Operates radio stations in more than
10% of the markets in which all of the Stations are located, then Capstar or
Gulfstar may terminate the Master Agreement and, at its option, one or more New
Agreements. If control of Katz or a substantial portion of its assets is sold
to a person or entity that owns or Operates radio stations in 10% or less of
the markets in which all of the Stations are located, then if such person or
entity does not dispose of a radio station in a market in which a Station is
located within nine months after its transaction with Katz, Capstar or
-12-
<PAGE> 13
Gulfstar (or both if both are affected) may terminate the New Agreement related
to such Station. Any person or entity that purchases substantially all of
Katz's assets shall be bound by all of the provisions of this Master Agreement.
In connection with the termination of a New Agreement pursuant to this
subparagraph 5.7(e), payments pursuant to paragraph 4(b) shall be paid to the
KRG Firm with respect to such terminated New Agreement, but no Termination
Obligations shall be payable under any such New Agreement so terminated.
(f) If either Capstar or Gulfstar give Katz a notice that
Katz is in material breach of Section 5.5 of this Master Agreement, thirty (30)
days after notice of such material breach is given to Katz, unless such
material breach is cured in such thirty (30) day period, the entity claiming
such breach, at its option, as its sole and exclusive remedy either may (i)
specifically enforce section 5.5 and sue for monetary damages suffered prior to
section 5.5 being specifically enforced; or (ii) simultaneously terminate the
Master Agreement and all of the New Agreements and sue for monetary damages
suffered prior to the date the Master Agreement and the New Agreements are
terminated. Failure to commence and prosecute with diligence and continuity
either of the two remedies contained in this paragraph (f) within thirty (30)
days after the expiration of the cure period shall be an irrevocable waiver of
the breach claimed in the notice.
6. Buyouts.
6.1 Katz Responsibility for Buyouts. Katz agrees to buyout or
cause the termination of any contract with another station representative for
the representation of a Capstar Station, Gulfstar Station, Other Station or
Additional Station which is represented by a representative which is not a KRG
Firm, which is either assumed by a member of the Capstar Group in connection
with the acquisition of an Other Station or Additional Station or to which a
member of the Capstar Group is a party on the date of execution of this Master
Agreement. Katz shall pay the required buyout amount and all other costs and
expenses related to such buyout or termination, including future commissions,
if any. If any claim is asserted or an action is brought against one or more
members of the Capstar Group, their respective officers, directors, employees
or agents (who for all purposes of this Article 6 shall be considered members
of the Capstar Group), seeking damages caused by or suffered as a result of (i)
the termination of such representation firm's services, (ii) any breach of an
agreement for the representation of such Other Station or Additional Station
caused by or arising out of a member of the Capstar Group appointing a KRG Firm
as the representative of such Other Station or Additional Station, or (iii) a
KRG Firm acting as national representative of such Other Station or Additional
Station, Katz will defend such action on behalf of the applicable member or
members of the Capstar Group, at its own cost and expense, with counsel of
Katz's choosing, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to each member of
the Capstar Group which is the defendant and pay any and all costs, expenses,
damages, judgments or liabilities awarded against or suffered by any member of
the Capstar Group in such legal action. Capstar and Gulfstar will give Katz all
reasonable cooperation or assistance necessary to defend such action.
-13-
<PAGE> 14
6.2 Prompt Notice. Promptly after receipt by a member of the
Capstar Group of a claim by a station representative or the commencement of any
action with respect to which Katz is obligated to pay any amount claimed or any
buyout liabilities pursuant to this Article 6, such members of the Capstar
Group shall notify Katz reasonably promptly after receiving notice or valid
service of process, in writing, of the claims or the commencement of the
action, but in all events to the extent reasonably practicable within
sufficient time for Katz to respond, answer and defend, without default or
other prejudice, provided that the failure to notify Katz will not relieve it
from any liability which it may have if such failure to notify or delay in
notification shall not have actually prejudiced Katz's ability to defend
against such claim or action. Katz shall not be liable to any member of the
Capstar Group for any fees of its counsel so long as Katz has not violated or
breached the provisions of this article.
6.3 Limitations. Katz shall have no liability under this
article if, in connection with the acquisition of a Station, the member of the
Capstar Group acquiring such Station agrees to lengthen the term of a
representation agreement for the representation of a Station, increase the
commission rate or increase the amount of the buyout, but any provision in the
agreement for an increase in commission rate, term or buyout upon sale of the
Station shall not affect or limit Katz's obligations under this Article 6.
After December 31, 1996, no member of the Capstar Group shall amend any
representation agreement to which it is a party or which it has assumed unless
the agreement is with a KRG Firm. Subject to Section 6.1, Katz shall have no
liability for commissions which are owed to any prior representative by any
member of the Capstar Group, whether currently or in arrears. No station
representative and no assignor, seller or transferror of a Station to a member
of the Capstar Group acquiring or commencing to Operate an Other Station or
Additional Station shall be a third party beneficiary of this Master Agreement.
7. Confidentiality.
Katz, Capstar and Gulfstar each covenant to the others that
it shall not disclose to any third party (other than its employees, directors,
accountants and attorneys in their capacity as such, and the employees,
directors, accountants and attorneys of any parent or controlling person or
entity so long as they are bound by the terms of this covenant) any information
regarding the existence or terms and provisions of this Master Agreement except
(a) to the extent necessary to comply with law or the valid order of a court of
competent jurisdiction (or any regulatory or administrative tribunal), in which
event the party so complying shall so notify the others as promptly as
practicable (and, if possible, prior to making any disclosure) and shall seek
confidential treatment of such information, if available, (b) as part of its
normal reporting or review procedure to its auditors or its attorneys, as the
case may be, so long as they are notified of the provisions of this covenant,
(c) in order to enforce its rights pursuant to this Master Agreement, (d) in
connection with any filing with the SEC, the FCC, or any other governmental
body, and (e) in a disclosure made in connection with any contemplated
financing, merger, consolidation, sale of assets or sale of securities of or by
Capstar, Gulfstar or Katz.
-14-
<PAGE> 15
8. Assignment of New Agreements.
If Capstar or Gulfstar shall sell or otherwise transfer the
license of a Station, the assignee or transferee of the Station or its station
license shall have no rights or benefits under this Master Agreement, and the
New Agreement with respect to such Station shall be the sole agreement between
the KRG Firm and the then owner of the Station for the national advertising
sales representation of such Station and such New Agreement shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect. A merger or consolidation or sale of
substantially all of the assets of Capstar or Gulfstar shall not be considered
a sale or assignment of a Station and, in each such case, this Master Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.
9. Term.
This Master Agreement shall terminate on the first to occur
of (a) the date when no KRG Firm is representing any Station owned or Operated
by a member of the Capstar Group pursuant to a New Agreement, (b) the first day
of the Month when the Stations then represented by KRG Firms pursuant to New
Agreements had Total Gross Billings in the immediately preceding twelve Months
of less than $10,000,000, or (c) a termination of the Master Agreement as to
both Capstar and Gulfstar pursuant to Section 5.6 or 5.7 of this Master
Agreement or a termination of the Master Agreement by one of Capstar or
Gulfstar and a termination of this Master Agreement by Katz pursuant to
paragraph 9(b) of this Master Agreement. Termination of this Master Agreement
shall not terminate any New Agreement, unless such New Agreement may be
terminated and is terminated pursuant to an express provision of this Master
Agreement.
10. Inconsistency.
If there is an inconsistency between this Master Agreement
and a New Agreement, this Master Agreement shall govern.
11. New York Law.
This Master Agreement shall be construed, governed and
enforced by and in accordance with New York law without giving effect to
conflict of law principles.
12. Notices.
Any notice required or permitted to be given pursuant to this
Master Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, or sent
by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or
by reliable overnight courier such as Federal Express, fees prepaid for next
business day delivery, in all cases to the addresses set forth on the first
page of
-15-
<PAGE> 16
this Master Agreement or such other address as either party may specify
in a notice given pursuant to this Article. A notice shall be deemed given when
delivered personally, three (3) business days after mailing by certified or
registered mail or one business day after delivery to the overnight courier.
13. Captions.
The captions contained in this Master Agreement are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Master Agreement.
14. Amendment, Execution.
This Master Agreement may not be amended except by a written
instrument signed by all parties. This Master Agreement shall not be effective
unless and until it is executed and delivered by Capstar and Gulfstar and
thereafter accepted by Katz in New York, New York.
15. Gulfstar. Upon the consummation of any business combination
between Capstar and Gulfstar, Capstar shall be entitled to all payments
hereunder otherwise payable to Gulfstar, all Gulfstar Stations shall be deemed
to be Capstar Stations, all references to Gulfstar shall be deemed to be
references to Capstar, Capstar shall assume all obligations and liabilities of
Gulfstar hereunder and no separate rights or remedies of Gulfstar may
thereafter be exercised.
16. No Service Change. Katz agrees that it shall conduct its business
and the business of each KRG Firm representing a Station in substantially the
same manner as such business is now conducted so that there shall be no
material change in the services performed by Katz and such KRG Firms in the
representation of radio stations generally. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Katz
(a) shall make such changes in its and each such KRG Firm's services as are
necessary or appropriate in order for Katz and such KRG Firm to furnish
services which may hereafter be furnished by radio station representation firms
generally to their radio station clients in the sale of national spot
advertising and (b) shall make such changes and improvements and cause such KRG
Firm to make such changes and improvements as are made in the industry
generally.
The immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be
incorporated in and is hereby made a part of each New Agreement so long as this
Master Agreement has not been terminated by Katz, the Station is owned or
Operated by a member of the Capstar Group or the member of the Capstar Group
owning or Operating such Station has not terminated this Master Agreement.
17. Revenue Guarantee.
-16-
<PAGE> 17
17.1 Schedule B. With respect to the Stations listed on
Schedule B which are represented by a KRG Firm for the entire six month period
including the Months of March through August 1997, if the combined Station Net
Billing of such Stations for such period, less commissions payable to the KRG
Firms for Station Net Billing in such period, is less than the combined Station
Net Billing for the same Stations during the same period in the Year 1996, less
commissions payable to the prior representative for Station Net Billing in such
period, then Katz agrees to pay Capstar the difference between the Station Net
Billing, less commissions payable for Station Net Billing in the earlier six
month period, and the Station Net Billing, less commissions payable to KRG
Firms for the six month period ending August 1997. Such payment shall be made
on September 30, 1997.

Stations during the same Months one year earlier ("Earlier Period") less
commissions paid to their then national sales representative, is more than the
combined Station Net Billing of the Huntsville Stations, less commissions to
the KRG Firms, in the Applicable Period, then Katz agrees to pay Capstar the
difference between the Station Net Billing, less commissions for Station Net
Billing in the Earlier Period, and the Station Net Billing, less commissions
payable to KRG Firms for the Applicable Period. Such payment shall be made
thirty days after the close of the Applicable Period.
18. Schedule Omissions. If there is no KRG Firm designated to
represent a Station in Schedules A, B, C or D, then Sentry Radio Sales shall
