par value ("Common Stock"), of Outdoor Systems, Inc. (the "Issuer"), as amended
by Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") filed with the Commission on August 28,

November 22, 1996, and July 3, 1997.

ITEM 1.           SECURITY AND ISSUER.

              last five years, a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or

              proceeding either of them has been or is subject to a judgment,
              decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
              prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
              state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to

        Link (see Item 5 below) for an aggregate purchase price of $141,440. The

              beneficial ownership of the shares held by M-K Link.

              Mr. Levine disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by
              the Levine Family Foundation.

       (b)    See Items 7 through 10 on pages 2 and 3 of this Amendment No. 2.

- ------------------------------                   -------------------------------


              (iii)  M-K Link transferred to parties other than Mr. Levine and
                     Levine Investments an aggregate of 3,245,127 shares of
                     Common Stock held by it and with respect to which Mr.
                     Levine and Levine Investments had shared voting power with
                     Mr. Moreno (see Item 6) and, therefore, had been deemed to
                     be beneficially owned by each of them prior to the
                     disposition thereof. Such shares included 2,990,127 shares
                     of Common Stock transferred by M-K Link to Mr. Moreno upon
                     the exercise of an option held by Mr. Moreno.

       (d)    The Stockholders' Agreement referred to in Item 6 was entered into
              on April 15, 1996.

       (e)    Mr. Levine shares with Arte R. Moreno, the President and Chief
              Executive Officer and a director and stockholder of the Issuer,
              the right to vote the 3,568,536 shares owned by M-K Link that are
              subject to the Stockholders' Agreement referenced in Item 6 below.

ITEM 6.       CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH 
              RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

       Mr. Levine is a party to a Stockholders' Agreement (the "Stockholders'
       Agreement") dated as of April 15, 1996 among M-K Link, Mr. Levine and
       Arte R. Moreno, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director and
       stockholder of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement, M-K
       Link is prohibited from transferring any shares of Common Stock held by
       it, except for specifically permitted transfers among the family members
       of Stephen J. Haberkorn, pledges in connection with bona fide loans,
       transfers pursuant to public offerings, transactions permitted by Rule
       144 (provided that no takeover proposal, as defined in the Stockholders'
       Agreement, is pending), and certain other transactions approved by the
       Issuer. The Stockholders' Agreement also grants Messrs. Levine and Moreno
       a right of first refusal with respect to any shares of Common Stock that
       M-K Link proposes to transfer in any transfer other than that
       specifically permitted by the Stockholders' Agreement. Finally, the
       Stockholders' Agreement grants to Mr. Levine and Mr. Moreno joint and
       several rights to exercise all voting rights with respect to shares of
       Common Stock owned by M-K Link in elections of directors, voting for
       approval or disapproval of mergers, consolidations or other proposals
       related to acquisitions by the Issuer, or any other matters submitted to
       stockholders of the Issuer for a vote. The Stockholders' Agreement
       remains in full force and effect for so long as each of Messrs. Levine
       and Moreno holds office as a director or officer of the Issuer or holds
       employment or consulting positions with the Issuer, or until M-K Link no
       longer holds shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Levine Investments is
       an express third-party beneficiary of the Stockholders' Agreement.
