ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL") and Article SEVENTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
provide for indemnification of the Company's directors and officers in a
variety of circumstances, which may include liabilities under the Securities
Act. Article SEVENTH provides that unless otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company, the Company shall indemnify, to the full extent
permitted by the laws of Delaware as from time to time in effect, the persons
described in Section 145 of the DGCL.
The general effect of the provisions in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL is to provide that the Company shall
indemnify its directors and officers against all liabilities and expenses
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement
of any judicial or administrative proceedings in which they have become
involved by reason of their status as corporate directors or officers, if they
acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that their conduct was
neither unlawful (in the case of criminal proceedings) nor inconsistent with
the best interests of the Company. With respect to legal proceedings by or in
the right of the Company in which a director or officer ajudged liable for
improper performance of his duty to the Company or another enterprise for
which such person served in a similar capacity at the request of the Company,
indemnification is limited by such provisions to that amount which is
permitted by the court.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the information to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's Annual Report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is
E:\CF\KATZ\S-8\RESTR.PLN

<PAGE>
asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

REOFFER PROSPECTUS
REOFFER PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 30, 1996
KATZ MEDIA GROUP, INC.
COMMON STOCK
BY CERTAIN SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
This Reoffer Prospectus relates to 18,750 shares of Common
Stock, $0.01 par value ("Common Stock"), of Katz Media Group, Inc. (the
"Company"), a Delaware corporation, which may be offered for sale from time to
time by certain stockholders listed under the heading "Selling Shareholders"
herein (the "Selling Shareholders") for their own benefit, certain of whom may
be deemed an "affiliate" of the Company under Rule 405 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933. Said persons acquired the Company's Common Stock
through participation in the Company's 1996 Restricted Stock Grant Plan. It is
anticipated that the Selling Shareholders will offer the Shares for sale at
prevailing prices on the American Stock Exchange on the date of sale. The
Company will receive no part of the proceeds of sales made hereunder. All
expenses of registration incurred in connection with this offering are being
borne by the Company, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the
Selling Shareholders will be borne by the Selling Shareholders.
The Selling Shareholders and any broker executing selling
orders on behalf of the Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), in which event commissions received by such broker may
be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act.
The Common Stock of the Company is traded on the American
Stock Exchange. On May 29, 1996, the last trading date before the date of this
Reoffer Prospectus, the closing price of the Company's Common Stock, as
reported by the American Stock Exchange was $14 1/4 (symbol: KTZ).
THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS REOFFER PROSPECTUS. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
No person is authorized to give any information or to make
any representations, other than those contained in this Reoffer Prospectus, in
connection with the offering described herein, and, if given or made, such
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the Company or the Selling Shareholders. This Reoffer Prospectus
does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to buy,
nor shall there be any sale of these securities by any person in any
jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such offer,
solicitation or sale. Neither the delivery of this Reoffer Prospectus nor any
sale made hereunder shall under any circumstances create an implication that
the information contained herein is correct as of any time subsequent to the
date hereof.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Any shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus
will be sold by the Selling Shareholders for their own account, and they will
receive all proceeds from any such sales. The Company will receive none of the
proceeds from the sale of shares which may be offered hereby but may receive
funds upon the exercise of the options pursuant to which the Selling
Shareholders will acquire the shares covered by this Reoffer Prospectus, which
funds, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes. The Selling
Shareholders have not advised the Company of any specific plans for the
distribution of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus,
but, if and when shares are sold, it is anticipated that the shares will be
sold from time to time primarily in transactions on the American Stock
Exchange at the market price then prevailing, although sales may also be made
in negotiated transactions or otherwise. If shares of Common Stock are sold
through brokers, the Selling Shareholders may pay customary brokerage
commissions and charges. The Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions
by selling shares to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may
receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from
the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such
broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both
(which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
customary commissions). The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers that
act in connection with the sale of the shares hereunder might be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of
1933, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of
shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under such Act. Shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer
Prospectus also may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933 rather than pursuant this Reoffer Prospectus. The Selling Shareholders
have been advised that they are subject to the applicable provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including without limitation Rules 10b-5,
10b-6 and 10b-7 thereunder.
There can be no assurances that the Selling Shareholders will sell
any or all of the shares of Common Stock offered hereunder.

8. Grants of Restricted Stock.
(a) Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 7,
the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may make Grants to such
Participants and in such amounts as it shall determine. Each Grant shall be
made pursuant to a written instrument which must be executed by the grantee in
order to be effective.
(b) Standard Restrictions. In addition to any other applicable provisions
hereof and except as may otherwise be specifically provided in a Grant, the
following restrictions in this Section 8(b) (the "Standard Restrictions")
shall apply to Grants made by the Committee on or prior to December 31, 1995:
(i) No shares granted pursuant to a Grant may be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until, and to the
extent that, such Shares are vested.
(ii) Shares granted pursuant to a Grant are 0% vested at the time the
Grant is made, but shall, unless earlier forfeited hereunder, vest according
to the following vesting schedule:
Vested Percentage
Vesting Dates of Shares Granted
December 31, 1996 33 1/3%
December 31, 1997 66 2/3%
December 31, 1998 100%
The foregoing notwithstanding, however, a Participant shall forfeit all Shares
not previously vested, if any, at such time as the Participant is no longer
employed by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary. All forfeited Shares shall
be returned to the Company.
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8(b) to the
contrary, a Participant who, has not previously forfeited any nonvested Shares
that are granted pursuant to a Grant shall automatically vest in any such
nonvested Shares upon the earliest of (A) the effective date of a Change in
Control (as defined in the Option Plan), (B) the termination by the Company of
the Participant's employment with the Company and all Parents and Subsidiaries
other than for Cause (as defined in the Option Plan), (C) the voluntary
termination of the Participant's employment with the Company or a Parent or
Subsidiary for Good Reason (as defined in the Option Plan) and (D) the
Participant's death, Disability (as defined in the Option Plan) or Retirement
(as defined in the Option Plan).
(c) Other Restrictions. Notwithstanding the Standard Restrictions of
Section 8(b) above, the Committee may impose such other or different
restrictions on any Shares granted as it may deem advisable including, without
limitation, restrictions relating to length of service, corporate performance,
attainment of individual or group performance objectives, resale restrictions
and federal or state securities laws, and may legend the certificates
representing

<PAGE>
restricted Shares to give appropriate notice of such restrictions. Any such
other or different restrictions shall be specifically set forth in the Grant
instrument.
(d) Holding of Restricted Shares. Certificates representing Shares
granted that are subject to restrictions shall be held by the Company or, if
the Committee so specifies, deposited with a third-party custodian or trustee
until lapse of all restrictions on the Shares. After such lapse, certificates
for such Shares (or the vested percentage of such Shares) shall be issued by
the Company to the Participant who received the Grant of such Shares;
provided, however, that the Company need not issue fractional Shares.
(e) Rights in Restricted Shares. During any applicable period of
restriction, a Participant who has been granted Shares hereunder shall be the
record owner thereof and shall be entitled to vote such Shares and receive all
dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares while they
are so restricted. However, if any such dividends or distributions are paid in
shares of Company stock during an applicable period of restriction, the shares
received shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Shares with respect
to which they were issued. Moreover, the Committee may provide in each Grant
such other restrictions, terms and conditions as it may deem advisable with
respect to the treatment and holding of any stock, cash or property that is
received in exchange for restricted Shares.
(f) Conflicting Provisions. In case of any conflict between the
provisions of this Plan and the provisions of a Grant, the provisions of this
Plan shall control.
9. Conditions to Grants. The making of any Grant and the issuance of any
Shares to a Participant shall be subject to the condition that if at any time
the Company shall determine in its discretion that the satisfaction of
withholding tax or other withholding liabilities, or that the listing,
registration, or qualification of any shares otherwise deliverable hereunder
upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or that the
consent or approval of any regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in connection with, the delivery or purchase of Shares
pursuant hereto, then in any such event, such Grant or such issuance of Shares
shall not be effective unless such withholding, listing, registration,
qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained free
of any conditions not acceptable to the Company.
10. Amendment, Suspension, and Termination of Plan. The Board may at any
time suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof or may amend it from
time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable in order that
the Grants granted hereunder may conform to any change in the law or in any
other respect which the Board may deem to be in the best interests of the
Company. No Grants may be granted during any suspension or after the
termination of the Plan. Except as provided in Section 11 hereof, no
amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without grantee's
consent, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations under any Grant
theretofore granted to such grantee under the Plan.
11. Tax Withholding. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, (a)
require a Participant to remit to the Company a cash amount sufficient to
satisfy, in whole or in part, any federal, state and local withholding tax
requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate for vested Shares
pursuant to a Grant hereunder; (b) require a Participant to satisfy, in whole
or in
E:\ES\KATZ\RSTKPLAN\96GRANT.PLN

<PAGE>
part, any such withholding tax requirements by having the Company, upon any
delivery of vested Shares, withhold from such Shares that number of full
Shares having a fair market value equal to the amount or portion of the amount
required or permitted to be withheld; or (c) satisfy such withholding
requirements through another lawful method.
12. Code Section 83(b) Elections. Each Participant making an election
pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code shall, upon the making of such election,
promptly provide a copy of such election to the Company.
13. Employment. Nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any
way the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to terminate any
Participant's employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any
right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary. No
employee of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary shall have the right to
receive a Grant, or, having received a Grant, to again receive a Grant.
14. Effective Date of the Plan. The effective date of the Plan is
December 12, 1995, the date of its adoption by the Board.
15. Term. No Grants may be made under the Plan after December 31, 2000.
The provisions of the Plan shall, however, continue to apply as to any Grants
made prior to such date.
