Item 1.01   — Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Registration Rights Agreement
     In connection with completing the acquisition (the “CMP Acquisition”) of Cumulus Media Partners, LLC (“CMP”), as described in Item 2.01 of this report, Cumulus Media Inc. (“we”, or the “Company”) entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 1, 2011 (the “2011 Registration Agreement”), with each of the CMP Sellers (as defined in Item 2.01 below), each of Banc of America Capital Investors SBIC, L.P. (“BACI”) and BA Capital Company, L.P. (“BA Capital” and, together with BACI, the “BofA Entities”), and each of Lewis W. Dickey, Jr., our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, John W. Dickey, our Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer, their brothers David W. Dickey and Michael W. Dickey, their father, Lewis W. Dickey, Sr., and an affiliated entity, DBBC, LLC (collectively, the “Dickey Stockholders”). Each of the BofA Entities and the Dickey Stockholders are parties to certain previously disclosed existing registration rights agreements with the Company (the “Existing Registration Agreements”). In connection with the CMP Acquisition, the BofA Entities and the Dickey Stockholders agreed to terminate the Existing Registration Agreements and the respective rights to which they were entitled thereunder, in exchange for certain rights granted to them under the 2011 Registration Agreement.
     Pursuant to the 2011 Registration Agreement, we have agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement that will cover the resale, on a continuous basis, of all of the shares of our Class A common stock issued to the CMP Sellers in connection with the CMP Acquisition or upon conversion of shares of our Class D common stock issued in the CMP Acquisition or upon exercise of the Restated Warrants (as defined below). We have agreed to file the registration statement, and to use our reasonable best efforts to cause it to be declared effective by the SEC, by May 1, 2012, the nine-month anniversary of the closing of the CMP Acquisition. We have agreed to pay all expenses associated with the registration of those shares, excluding any brokers’ commissions or similar fees of securities-industry professionals, and any transfer taxes relating to the sale or disposition of those shares.
     The 2011 Registration Agreement also grants additional rights, called demand registration rights, to each of the CMP Sellers, the BofA Entities and the Dickey Stockholders (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors can require that we register for resale any shares of our common stock held by such Investors that have not otherwise been registered or sold. The 2011 Registration Agreement also grants customary rights, called piggyback registration rights, to the Investors. The piggyback registration rights allow the Investors to have their shares of our common stock included, in certain circumstances, in registration statements relating to future public offerings of our common stock.
     The foregoing summary of the 2011 Registration Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2011 Registration Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this report, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Warrant Exchange Agreement and Restated Warrants
     Also in connection with completing the CMP Acquisition, and as contemplated by the Exchange Agreement governing the CMP Acquisition, CMP Susquehanna Radio Holdings Corp. (“Radio Holdings”), an indirect subsidiary of CMP that is now an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into an amended and restated warrant agreement, dated as of August 1, 2011 (the “Restated Warrant Agreement”), with the holders of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Radio Holdings. Pursuant to the Restated Warrant Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the previously outstanding warrants were amended and restated (as so amended and restated, the “Restated Warrants”) to no longer be exercisable for shares of common stock of Radio Holdings but instead be exercisable, commencing on May 2, 2012 (the “Exercise Date”) at an exercise price of $.01 per share, for an aggregate of 8,267,968 shares of our Class D common stock (subject to adjustments for rounding for fractional shares), which shares will be in turn convertible in accordance with their terms into shares of our Class A common stock. The Restated Warrants expire upon the earlier to occur of (i) March 26, 2019 and (ii) the later of (A) the 30 th day succeeding the redemption in full of all of Radio Holdings’ outstanding Series A preferred stock, and (b) the 90 th day succeeding the Exercise Date. In connection with effectuating the Restated Warrant Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Company and Radio Holdings entered into an agreement

(the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which we have agreed to issue, as directed by Radio Holdings, the shares of Class D common stock that Radio Holdings will be required to deliver to the holders of the Restated Warrants upon their exercise pursuant to the Restated Warrant Agreement.
     The foregoing summary of the Restated Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Exchange Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restated Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Exchange Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, to this report and which are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01   — Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
     On August 1, 2011, the Company completed the previously announced CMP Acquisition, in which the Company purchased the remaining equity interests of CMP that the Company did not already own. CMP owns 32 radio stations in nine markets, including San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Kansas City. The Company has operated CMP’s business pursuant to a management agreement since CMP commenced its operations in 2006.
     Pursuant to the terms of an Exchange Agreement, dated January 31, 2010, Cumulus issued 9,945,714 shares of its common stock to affiliates of the three private equity firms (collectively, the “CMP Sellers”) that had collectively owned 75% of CMP — Bain Capital Partners, LLC (“Bain”), The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”). Blackstone received 3,315,238 shares of Cumulus’ Class A common stock and, in accordance with Federal Communications Commission broadcast ownership rules, Bain and THL each received 3,315,238 shares of newly authorized non-voting Class D common stock. Cumulus has owned the remaining 25% of CMP’s equity interests since Cumulus, together with Bain, Blackstone and THL, formed CMP in 2005. As a result, CMP became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on August 1, 2011.
     Also in connection with the acquisition, currently outstanding warrants to purchase common stock Radio Holdings, of a subsidiary of CMP, were amended and restated to instead become exercisable for up to 8,267,968 shares of common stock of Cumulus.
     On August 1, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the CMP Acquisition, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
     As previously disclosed, contemporaneously with the execution of the Exchange Agreement, each of the Dickey Stockholders entered into a voting agreement with a representative of the CMP Sellers (the “Dickey Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which the Dickeys agreed to vote for the election of a representative designated by Blackstone to the Company’s Board of Directors (such person, the “Blackstone Designee”) until the earlier of (i) the day immediately following the date the directors of the Company who are elected at the third annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders held following the date of the Exchange Agreement commence their terms and (ii) the date on which affiliates of Blackstone as a group cease to own at least a simple majority of the shares of common stock issued to them in the CMP Acquisition. Also as previously disclosed, contemporaneously with the execution of the Exchange Agreement, the BofA Entities entered into a substantially similar voting agreement with the CMP Sellers’ representative (the “BofA Voting Agreement” and, with the Dickey Voting Agreement, the “Voting Agreements”) with respect to the shares of the Company’s common stock that the BofA Entities hold. The BofA Entities also hold 100% of the outstanding shares of the nonvoting Class B Common Stock. Copies of the Voting Agreements are filed as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 to this report.
     As previously announced, on January 31, 2010, David M. Tolley, a Senior Managing Director of Blackstone, joined the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Tolley was appointed as the Blackstone Designee in accordance with the Exchange Agreement, which provided that the Company must take all necessary actions to appoint the Blackstone Designee as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to a written agreement to promptly resign in the event the Exchange Agreement were terminated prior to the consummation of the Exchange.
     In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, for each of the Company’s next three successive annual stockholders’ meetings, commencing with the 2011 annual meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors is obligated to nominate the Blackstone Designee for election, until such time as affiliates of Blackstone as a group

-3-


 

cease to beneficially own at least one-half of the aggregate amount of the Company’s common stock that they receive upon consummation of the CMP Acquisition. As described above, in accordance with the Voting Agreements, the Dickeys and the BofA Entities have agreed to vote their shares of the Company’s common stock in favor of the election of the Blackstone Designee.
     In accordance with the Exchange Agreement, the Blackstone Designee is entitled to the same compensation, and same indemnification in connection with his or her role as a director as the other members of the Company’s Board of Directors.
     A limited partnership in which Mr. L. Dickey, Jr., Mr. J. Dickey and other members of the Dickey family indirectly own a 1/3 equity interest, but that is not otherwise affiliated with us or CMP, is the beneficial holder of Restated Warrants that, under the Restated Warrant Agreement, will be exercisable on the Exercise Date for a total of 2,985,278 shares of our Class D common stock. In connection with and as a result of the effectiveness of the Restated Warrant Agreement, these members of the Dickey family may be deemed to beneficially own 995,092 additional shares of our common stock beginning on the date that is 60 days prior to the Exercise Date.
Item 3.02   — Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
     To the extent required, the information set forth under the heading “Warrant Exchange Agreement and Restated Warrants” in Item 1.01, and in the first three paragraphs of Item 2.01, of this report is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by this reference. In reliance upon certain representations and warranties made by the CMP Sellers in the Exchange Agreement, the securities were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 available under Section 4(2) of such act.
Item 5   — Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.03   Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
     On July 29, 2011, at the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company’s stockholders, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, adopted an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Charter”) to, among other things, increase the total number of shares of authorized capital stock from 270,262,000 to 300,000,000, create a new class of non-voting common stock designated as Class D common stock, and eliminate certain governance and approval rights that were previously applicable to our existing non-voting Class B common stock, all as was described in the Company’s proxy statement for the annual meeting.
     The foregoing description of the Restated Charter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of, and should be read in conjunction with, the Restated Charter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07   — Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
     The 2011 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company was held on July 29, 2011. Each of Lewis W. Dickey, Jr., Ralph B. Everett, Eric P. Robison and David M. Tolley were reelected for a one-year term as directors of the Company by the holders of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, voting together as a single class.
     Pursuant to a voting agreement entered into in 1998 with the holders of our Class C Common Stock, Robert H. Sheridan III was designated to serve as a director by one of our principal stockholders, BA Capital Company, L.P. (“BA Capital”). The holders of our Class C Common Stock, voting as a single class, are obligated under the voting agreement to elect Mr. Sheridan to the board and, pursuant to an action of the sole holder of the Class C Common Stock taken immediately prior to the 2011 annual stockholders’ meeting, Mr. Sheridan was reelected for a one-year

SECTION 5. CONVERTIBILITY AND TRANSFER.
     (a)  Conversion of Class B Common Stock . Each holder of Class B Common Stock is entitled to convert at any time or times all or any part of such holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock or an equal number of shares of Class C Common Stock; provided, however, that the prior consent of any governmental authority required under any applicable law, rule, regulation or other governmental requirement to make such conversion lawful shall have first been obtained and provided further, that such holder is not at the time of such conversion a Disqualified Person.
     (b)  Conversion of Class C Common Stock . Each holder of Class C Common Stock is entitled to convert at any time or times all or any part of such holder’s shares of Class C Common Stock into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that the prior consent of any governmental authority required under any applicable law, rule, regulation or other governmental requirement to make such conversion lawful shall have first been obtained; and provided further, that such holder is not at the time of such conversion a Disqualified Person. In the event of the death of any Principal or the Disability of any Principal which results in termination of such Principal’s employment with the Company, each share of Class C Common Stock held by such deceased or disabled Principal or any Related Party or Affiliate of such deceased or disabled Principal shall automatically be converted into one (1) share of Class A Common Stock. The holder of such converted shares shall have no further rights as a holder of Class C Common Stock with respect to such converted shares, but shall be deemed to have become the holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Class C Common Stock have converted pursuant to this Section 5(b). Such holder shall exchange the certificates representing such converted Class C Common Stock for certificates representing Class A Common Stock.
     (c)  Conversion of Class D Common Stock .

4


 

appointment or otherwise) to any transferee; provided, however that (i) the prior consent of any governmental authority required under applicable law, rule, regulation or other governmental requirement to make such transfer lawful shall have first been obtained, and (ii) the transferee is not a Disqualified Person. Concurrently with any such transfer, each such transferred share of Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock shall automatically be converted into one (1) share of Class A Common Stock. The holder of such converted shares shall have no further rights as a holder of Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock with respect to such converted shares but shall be deemed to have become the holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock have converted pursuant to this Section 5(d)(i).

surrendered to the principal office of the Company with duly executed conversion instructions and, if applicable, transfer instructions;
               (B) All information requested by the Company, for the purpose of making the determination contemplated by Section 5(e) of this Article V, has been provided to the Company and the Company has determined that the intended transferee is not a Disqualified Person; and

               (B) a certificate representing any shares of Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock which were represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Company in connection with such conversion but which were not converted.
          (iii) No Charges . The issuance of certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock upon conversion of Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock will be made without charge to the holders of such Common Stock for any issuance tax in respect of such issuance or other costs incurred by the Company in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, except for any transfer taxes that may be payable if certificates are to be issued in a name other than that in which the surrendered certificate is registered. Upon conversion of a share of Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock, the Company will take all such actions as are necessary in order to ensure that the Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock issued or issuable with respect to such conversion will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
          (iv) No Adverse Action . The Company will not close its books against the transfer of Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock or Class D Common Stock.

ARTICLE VII
CERTAIN RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
APPLICABLE ONLY DURING BA CAPITAL’S OWNERSHIP
SECTION 1. RESTRICTED ACTIONS.
     Upon the day of issuance (“Order Date”), at any time following the consummation of the Offering, of a final order of the FCC that the granting of a right to BA Capital to designate a Director of the Company pursuant to a stockholders agreement with the holders of Class C Common Stock will not result in BA Capital’s interest being “attributable” under applicable FCC rules, and for so long thereafter (“Applicable Period”) as BA Capital (together with its Affiliates) continues to own not less than fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of Common Stock held by BA Capital immediately prior to the Offering:
     (a) the holders of Class C Common Stock shall have the right, voting as a class, to elect one (1) Director (the “Class C Director”); and
     (b) the Company shall not take any Restricted Action without the unanimous vote of the Board of Directors of the Company.
     The right of the holders of the Class C Common Stock to elect the Class C Director may be exercised initially either at a special meeting of the holders of Class C Common Stock called as hereafter provided or at any annual meeting of stockholders held for the purposes of electing directors and thereafter at such annual meeting or by the written consent of the holders of Class C Common Stock, until the expiration of the Applicable Period. Effective on the Order Date, the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Company shall be increased by one (1) without the necessity of any further action by the stockholders or the Board of Directors of the Company, and the By-Laws shall be deemed amended so as to increase the number of members of the Board of Directors effective on the Order Date. Upon the termination of the Applicable Period, the term of office of the Class C Director shall terminate immediately and the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Company shall be reduced by one (1) without the necessity of any further action by the stockholders or the Board of Directors of the Company, and the By-Laws shall be deemed amended so to decrease the number of members of the Board of Directors effective as of the date of termination of the Applicable Period.
     At any time after the Order Date, if such rights to elect a Class C Director shall not already have been initially exercised, a proper officer of the Company shall, upon the written request of holders of record of ten percent (10%) or more of the shares of Class C Common Stock then outstanding, addressed to the Secretary of the Company, call a special meeting of holders of Class C Common Stock. Such meeting shall be held at the earliest practicable date based upon the number of days of notice required for annual meetings of stockholders at the place designated for holding annual meetings of stockholders of the Company or, if none, at a place designated by the Secretary of the Company. If such meeting shall not be called by the officers of the Company within thirty (30) days after the personal service of such written request upon the Secretary of the Company, or within thirty (30) days after mailing the same within the United States, by registered mail, addressed to the Secretary of the Company at its principal

11


 

office (such mailing to be evidenced by the registry receipt issued by the postal authorities), then the holders of record of ten percent (10%) or more of the shares of Class C Common Stock then outstanding may designate in writing any holder of Class C Common Stock to call such meeting at the expense of the Company, and such meeting may be called by such person so designated upon the number of days of notice required for annual meetings of stockholders and shall be held at the place designated for holding annual meetings of the stockholders of the Company or, if none, at a place designated by such holder. Any holder of Class C Common Stock that would be entitled to vote at such meeting shall have access to the stock books of the Company for the purpose of causing a meeting of holders of Class C Common Stock to be called pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, however, no such special meeting shall be called if any such request is received less than seventy (70) days before the date fixed for the next ensuing annual or special meeting of stockholders. Any action required hereunder to elect a Class C Director may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the name of the director to be elected, shall be signed by all of the holders of Class C Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the election of the Class C Director. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as the unanimous vote of the holders of the Class C Common Stock.
     In case of any vacancy occurring with respect to the Class C Director, such vacancy may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class C Common Stock at a special meeting called as provided above or pursuant to a written consent as provided above.
SECTION 2. VOTE OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK HOLDERS.
     So long as BA Capital (together with its Affiliates) continues to own not less than fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of Common Stock held by BA Capital immediately prior to the consummation of the Offering, the Company may not take any Restricted Action unless either (a) the membership of the Board of Directors includes a Class C Director and the Class C Director voted in favor of the Restricted Action, or (b) the membership of the Board of Directors does not at the time of approval of the Restricted Action by the Board include a Class C Director and the Restricted Action has been approved by the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a class.
SECTION 3. EXPIRATION OF RESTRICTIONS.
     The restrictions set forth in Section 1 and 2 of this Article VII shall terminate upon expiration of the Applicable Period.
ARTICLE VIII
NO CUMULATIVE VOTING
     No holder of any shares of any class of stock of the Company shall be entitled to cumulative voting rights in any circumstances.

ARTICLE XII
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS
     No Director of the Company shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, provided, however, that this Article XII shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a Director (i) for any breach of the Director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, (iv) for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) for any act or omission occurring before the effective date of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

          (d) cause all shares being sold to be qualified for inclusion in or listed on NASDAQ or any other U.S. securities exchange on which shares issued by the Company are then so qualified or listed if so requested by the Stockholders, or if so requested by the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of shares, if any;

          (g) enter into customary agreements (including, in the case of an underwritten offering, underwriting agreements in customary form, and including provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution in customary form and consistent with the provisions relating to indemnification and contribution contained herein) and take all other customary and appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such shares and in connection therewith:

     (3) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the Company’s independent certified public accountants addressed to the selling Stockholders, if permissible, and the underwriters, if any, which letters shall be customary in form and

ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION
           5.1 Indemnification by the Company . In the event of any registration under the Securities Act by any Registration Statement, pursuant to rights granted in this Agreement, of shares held by Stockholders, the Company will hold harmless Stockholders, each director, officer, employee and Affiliate of the Stockholders and each other person, if any, who controls any Stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (including legal fees and costs of court), joint or several, to which Stockholders or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or any actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact (i) contained, on its effective date, in any Registration Statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or which arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) contained in any preliminary prospectus, if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have filed with the SEC any amendment or supplement to the final prospectus), or which arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission (if so used) to state a material fact required to be stated in such prospectus or necessary to make the statements in such prospectus not misleading; and will reimburse Stockholders and each such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, or liability; provided , however , that (i) the Company shall not be liable to any Stockholder or controlling persons in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company through a written instrument duly executed by such Stockholder specifically for use in the preparation thereof and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus, or prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1 will not inure to the benefit of any Person to the extent that any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Person result from the fact that there

16


 

was not sent or given to any Person who purchased Registrable Securities, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person, a copy of the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented (exclusive of material incorporated by reference), if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Person. In connection with any underwritten public offering effected under a Registration Statement, the Company will agree to indemnify the underwriters on terms and conditions customary for such an offering. This indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party, and shall survive the transfer (in accordance with the terms hereof) of such Registrable Securities by the seller thereof.
           5.2 Indemnification by Stockholders . Each Stockholder will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 5.1 ) the Company, each director, officer, employee and Affiliate of the Company and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, (i) with respect to any statement or omission from such Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to it, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company through a written instrument duly executed by such Stockholder specifically regarding such Stockholder for use in the preparation of such Registration Statement or amendment or supplement, and (ii) with respect to compliance by Stockholders with applicable laws in effecting the sale or other disposition of the securities covered by such Registration Statement. This indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, its directors, officers or controlling Persons, and shall survive the transfer of such Registrable Securities by the seller thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of any such Stockholder shall not exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds realized by such Stockholder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
           5.3 Indemnification Procedures . Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in the preceding Sections of this Article V , the indemnified party will, if a resulting claim is to be made or may be made against and indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of the action. The failure of any indemnified party to give notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations in this Article V , except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by the failure to give notice. If any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume defense of the action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the latter in connection with the action’s defense. An indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any action or proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such indemnified party’s expense unless (a) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, which authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld, (b) the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense and employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within 30 days after notice of any such action or proceeding, or (c) the named parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall

17


 

have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party), it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to all local counsel which is necessary, in the good faith opinion of both counsel for the indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnified party in order to adequately represent the indemnified parties) for the indemnified party and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred upon written request and presentation of invoices. Whether or not a defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (i) does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff, to the indemnified party, of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation or (ii) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any non-financial obligations on the indemnified party.
           5.4 Contribution . If the indemnification required by this Article V from the indemnifying party is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any indemnifiable losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefit of the indemnifying and indemnified parties and (ii) if the allocation in clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit referred to in clause (i) and also the relative fault of the indemnified and indemnifying parties, in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damage, liabilities, and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Company and Stockholders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the prior provisions of this Section 5.4 .
          Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.4 , no indemnifying or contributing party shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the securities were offered to the public by such party exceeds the amount of any damages which such party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of an untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the

18


 

meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such a fraudulent misrepresentation.
ARTICLE VI
OTHER AGREEMENTS
           6.1 Transfer of Rights .
          (a) This Agreement is personal to the parties hereto and not assignable or transferable; provided , however , that notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stockholder may assign and transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person in connection with a transfer or sale of Registrable Securities to such Person, which assignment or transfer shall only be effective upon receipt by the Company of a duly executed commitment by such transferee to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A , in which case, this Agreement shall be assigned to, and may be enforced by, such transferee of Registrable Securities, and such transferee shall thereupon have all of the rights and obligations of its transferor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfer of registration rights under this Agreement shall be permitted if immediately following such transfer the disposition of such Registrable Securities by the transferee is not restricted under the Securities Act; provided , however , that if a Stockholder transfers Registrable Securities representing (i) 5% or more of the outstanding Company Common Stock or (ii) all of the Registrable Securities acquired by such Stockholder pursuant to the provisions of the Exchange Agreement, and such transferee executes and delivers to the Company the commitment described in the immediately preceding sentence, such transferee shall be entitled to enforce the rights initially granted to the transferor Stockholders in respect of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Registrable Securities so transferred. Any assignment or transfer in violation of this agreement shall be null and void.
          (b) In the event the Company engages in a merger or consolidation in which the Registrable Securities are converted into securities of another company, and which securities are not tradable without registration under the Securities Act, appropriate arrangements will be made so that the registration rights provided under this Agreement continue to be provided to Stockholders by the issuer of such securities. To the extent such new issuer, or any other company acquired by the Company in a merger or consolidation, was bound by registration rights obligations that would conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will, unless the Required Stockholders otherwise agree, use its best efforts to modify any such “inherited” registration rights obligations so as not to interfere in any material respects with the rights provided under this Agreement.
           6.2 Limited Liability . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the members, general partners, limited partners or managing directors, or any directors or officers of any members, general or limited partner, advisory director, nor any future members, general partners, limited partners, advisory directors, or managing directors, if any, of any Stockholder shall have any personal liability for performance of any obligation of such Stockholder under this Agreement in excess of the respective capital contributions of such

19


 

members, general partners, limited partners, advisory directors or managing directors to such Stockholder.
           6.3 Rule 144 . If the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants that it will file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or, if the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act but is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Stockholder, make such information available) and it will take such further action as any Stockholder may reasonably request, so as to enable such Stockholder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Stockholder, the Company will deliver to such Stockholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
           6.4 In-Kind Distributions . If any Stockholder seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities to its direct or indirect equityholders, the Company will work with such Stockholder and the Company’s transfer agent to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested by such Stockholder.
           6.5 No Inconsistent Agreements .
          (a) Each of the Company, the Dickey Stockholders and the BA Stockholders hereby agree that each of the Existing Registration Rights Agreements to which it is a party, is hereby terminated, as of the effective time of this Agreement, and of no further force or effect, and that such Stockholder is no longer entitled to any registration rights under any such agreement to which it is or was a party.
          (b) The Company has not entered into, and on or after the date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement that conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Stockholders hereunder do not in any way conflict with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreement after giving effect to the termination of the Existing Registration Rights Agreements as set forth in Section 6.5(a) . The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Stockholders, grant to any Persons the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exerciseable for such securities, if such rights could reasonably be expected, in the good faith determination of the Company’s board of directors, to conflict with or be in parity with, the rights of the Stockholders granted hereunder. The granting by the Company of registration rights to a third party shall not be deemed to be in conflict or parity with the rights of the Stockholders granted hereunder as long as the provisions of Articles II , III and IV are complied with at all times .

The Warrant Certificates (together with the subscription form and the assignment form to be printed on the reverse thereof) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto and may have such marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Warrant Agreement or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto, or to conform to usage.
4. COUNTERSIGNATURE AND REGISTRATION .
     4.1 The Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, its President or a Vice President, either manually or by facsimile signature, and have affixed thereto the Company’s seal (if any) or a facsimile thereof which shall be attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, either manually or by facsimile signature.

In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer of the Company before countersignature by the Warrant Agent and issuance and delivery by the Company, such Warrant Certificates, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the Warrant Agent, issued and delivered with the same force and effect as though the person who signed such Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such an officer.
     4.2 The Warrant Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at one of its offices in Canton, Massachusetts, or at the office of one of its agents, books for registration and transfer of the Warrant Certificates issued hereunder.

The Company shall promptly notify each Holder and the Warrant Agent of any adjustment in the number of shares of CMI Class D Common for which such Holder’s Warrant is exercisable hereunder in accordance with Section 5.5 or Section 7 below. Promptly upon request of a Holder thereafter, the Company and the Warrant Agent shall cooperate to cause the issuance of replacement Warrant Certificates to the requesting Holder to reflect any such adjustment.

5


 

     5.2 Exercise .
     (a) At any time after the CMI Share Delivery Date and until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date for a particular Warrant, a Holder may exercise such Warrant, on any Business Day, to purchase all or any part of the number of Shares then purchasable thereunder, at the stated Exercise Price. The Holder may exercise such Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Warrant Agent at the principal office of the Warrant Agent in Canton, Massachusetts or to the office of one of its agents as may be designated by the Warrant Agent from time to time, the following: (i) the corresponding Warrant Certificate, with the election to purchase form on the reverse side thereof duly completed and executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney, and (ii) payment of the Warrant Price (or a written instruction to the Company from the Holder to satisfy payment of the Warrant Price pursuant to the procedures in Section 5.2(b)). As soon as practicable after the exercise of such Warrant, in whole or in part, the Warrant Agent shall promptly request that the Company cause CMI to have CMI’s transfer agent issue and deliver or register in the name of the Holder thereof or, subject to Section 6, as the Holder may direct, the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional Share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per Share on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such exercise. Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased by exercise of a Warrant will be transmitted by CMI’s transfer agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depositary Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (“ DWAC ”) system if CMI is a participant in such system, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the notice of exercise, payment of the Warrant Price and surrender of the Warrant Certificate. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder (or designee) shall be deemed to be a holder of record of the Warrant Shares, as of the date a Warrant is exercised by payment of the Warrant Price (or if the Warrant Price is to be satisfied pursuant to the procedures in Section 5.2(b), the date of receipt by the Company from the Holder of written instruction to satisfy payment of the Warrant Price pursuant to the procedures in Section 5.2(b)) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 5.3. Any certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be reasonably requested by the Holder hereof, shall be registered in the name of such Holder and shall bear a restrictive legend. If a Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then the Warrant Agent shall request that the Company or its transfer agent, at the time of issuance of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face thereof for issuance of the number of Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such Shares called for on the face of the surrendered Warrant Certificate minus the number of such Shares so designated by such Holder upon such exercise as provided in this Section 5.2.
     (b) In lieu of paying the Warrant Price in cash as provided in Section 5.2(a) above, the Warrant Price may instead be satisfied by reducing the number of Warrant Shares that would otherwise have been issued upon such exercise by the number of Warrant Shares that have an aggregate Market Price (determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date of exercise) equal to the Warrant Price that otherwise would have been paid.
     5.3 Payment of Taxes . All Warrant Shares issued pursuant to Section 5.2 shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of CMI when purchased by the Company

6


 

pursuant to the CMI Exchange Agreement, and when ownership thereof is transferred by the Company to Holders pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issue or delivery thereof, unless such tax or charge is imposed by law upon the Holder exercising its Warrant, in which case, such Holder shall pay such taxes or charges. None of the Warrant Agent, the Company nor CMI shall be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any certificate for Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant in any name other than that of the Holder thereof, and in such case, CMI’s transfer agent shall not be directed to record in its books and records such Shares in any name other than the Holder’s name until such tax or other charge has been paid or it has been established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that no such tax or other charge is due.
     5.4 Restriction on Exercise . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Warrant may not be exercised prior to the Holder thereof obtaining any necessary approvals from the Federal Communications Commission (the “ FCC ”) or if such exercise would result in a violation of the United States Federal Communications Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and the policies promulgated by the FCC thereunder. The Warrant Agent’s sole obligation in this regard shall be to honor any stop-transfer order from the Company, if so given.
     5.5 Adjustments Relating to Exchange Agreement Indemnity .
     (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant Agreement to the contrary, the number of Shares for which Warrants under this Warrant Agreement are exercisable will be subject to decrease in connection with the resolution of Seller Indemnity Claims and increase in connection with the resolution of CMI Indemnity Claims as set forth in this Section 5.5.
     (b) On the CMI Share Delivery Date, the number of Shares for which the Warrants are then exercisable will be reduced as required under Section 5.5(c), or reduced by a number of Shares relating to then pending indemnification claims under Article 9 of the CMP Exchange Agreement which may result in a reduction of the number of Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants pursuant to Section 5.5(c), with such Shares for which the Warrants may become exercisable relating to such pending claims to become so exercisable, or the reduction in this regard completed, at the time such pending claims are finally determined under the CMP Exchange Agreement.
     (c) If the Sellers under the CMP Exchange Agreement are finally determined to be required to indemnify CMI for a Seller Indemnity Claim, then the number of Shares for which the Warrants held by each Holder are otherwise exercisable shall be reduced by a number of Shares (if including a fraction of a share, rounded down to the closest whole share number) equal to the Holders’ Share Indemnity Total in respect of such Seller Indemnity Claim multiplied by the Holder’s Proportionate Share of such Holder.
     (d) On the CMI Share Delivery Date (if any CMI Indemnity Claim has been finally determined prior to such date), and upon the final determination of any CMI Indemnity Claim after such date, the number of Shares for which Warrants held by each Holder are then exercisable shall be increased by a number of Shares (if including a fraction of a share, rounded up to the closest whole share number) equal to the Holders’ Share Indemnity Total in respect of

7


 

such CMI Indemnity Claim multiplied by the Holder’s Proportionate Share of such Holder. Should such final determination occur subsequent to the CMI Share Delivery Date, the Company shall cause CMI to deliver additional Shares, and the number of Shares for which the Warrants are then exercisable shall be increased, each to give effect to the foregoing adjustments.
6. TRANSFER, DIVISION, COMBINATION AND EXCHANGE OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES .
     6.1 Subject to Section 6.2, and subject to applicable law, rules or regulations, restrictions on transferability that may appear on Warrant Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof or any “stop transfer” instructions the Company may give to the Warrant Agent, at any time after the CMI Share Delivery Date and prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date for a particular Warrant or Warrants, any corresponding Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates, entitling the Holder thereof to purchase a like number of Shares as the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates surrendered then entitled such Holder to purchase. Any Holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Warrant Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered to the Warrant Agent, and shall surrender the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged at the principal office of the Warrant Agent. Thereupon the Warrant Agent shall, subject to Section 6.2, countersign and deliver to the person entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested. No transfer of a Warrant will be effected unless the Warrant Certificate or the instruction to transfer, as the case may be, is affixed with a signature guarantee stamp by a guarantor institution approved by the Securities Transfer Association.
     6.2 The Company shall cause the Warrant Agent to prepare, issue and deliver at the Company’s own cost and expense the new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates pursuant to this Section 6, except that the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Warrant Certificates, together with reimbursement to the Company and the Warrant Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto.
7. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CMI CHANGES . The number of Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such Shares may be purchased upon exercise of a Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 7. The Company shall cause the Warrant Agent to give each Holder notice of any event described below that requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7 at the time of such event.
     7.1 Distributions, Subdivisions and Combinations . If, at any time after the date of this Warrant Agreement, CMI:
     (a) subdivides its outstanding Shares into a larger number of Shares,
     (b) combines its outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares, or
     (c) makes a dividend payment or other distribution to the holders of its Shares in respect of the outstanding Shares that is payable in additional Shares,

8


 

then (i) the number of Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of Shares that a record holder of the same number of Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (ii) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. In computing adjustments under this Section 7.1, fractional interests in Shares shall be taken into account to the nearest one-hundredth of a Share.
     7.2 Reclassification, Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation . In case of any reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or other change in the capital stock of CMI (other than as a result of a distribution, subdivision or combination provided for in Section 7.1), then provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing same from the Company shall be delivered to the Holders, so that the Holders shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of their respective Warrants to purchase, at the same total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of their respective Warrants, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or other change by a holder of the same number and type of securities as were purchasable upon exercise of their respective Warrants by the Holders immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or other change. In any such case, appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holders so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise of a Warrant, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price payable thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any transaction described in this Section 7.2 in which the consideration to be received by holders of Shares is payable only in cash, then the Holders shall each only be entitled to receive upon the closing of such transaction cash in the amount, if any, that such cash payment per Share exceeds the Exercise Price, and upon the closing of such transaction each Warrant shall solely represent the right to receive such consideration, if any, and upon such payment, if any, shall terminate and have no further force or effect, or shall so terminate if no such payment is due.
8. NO IMPAIRMENT . The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, through any amendment to its certificate of incorporation through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant Agreement, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holders against impairment.
9. CMI EXCHANGE AGREEMENT .

Re: Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement
Gentlemen:
     Reference is made to the form of Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement attached hereto as Annex A (the “ Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement ”), to be entered into between CMP Susquehanna Radio Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“ Radio Holdings ”), and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as the warrant agent thereunder (the “ Warrant Agent ”), effective as of immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, dated January 31, 2011, among Cumulus Media Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ CMI ”), the Sellers party thereto and the Sellers’ Representative party thereto. The Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement will, effective as of immediately following such closing, replace in its entirety the Warrant Agreement, dated March 26, 2009, between Radio Holdings and the Warrant Agent. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement. This letter agreement (this “ Agreement ”) shall serve as the CMI Exchange Agreement referenced in the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement.
     Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, Radio Holdings has agreed to obtain from CMI and at all times keep available for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants such number of Shares as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all Warrants, and that all Shares, when issued to Radio Holdings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable shares of CMI, and not subject to any preemptive rights. CMI hereby covenants and agrees to issue to Radio Holdings such number of Shares as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all Warrants, and that all Shares, when issued to Radio Holdings in accordance with the terms hereof will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable shares of CMI, and not subject to any preemptive rights. Such issuance of Shares shall be either (at CMI’s option) directly to Radio Holdings in return for the issuance to CMI of shares of common stock of Radio Holdings, or indirectly through Radio Holdings’ direct parent corporation, CMP Susquehanna Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“ Top Holdco ”), if Top Holdco remains a wholly owned direct subsidiary

of CMI and the direct parent corporation of Radio Holdings at the time of such issuance. In the event the number of Shares, or the type of securities or other property issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, is adjusted pursuant to Section 7 of the Warrant Agreement, then the number of Shares, or the type of securities or other property, that CMI is obligated hereunder to issue to Radio Holdings shall likewise be automatically adjusted without any required action of the Parties, and CMI agrees to issue to Radio Holdings such adjusted number of Shares, or securities or other property.
     CMI hereby agrees that each Holder who so requests to CMI in writing (which may include request via e-mail) shall be acknowledged by CMI in writing to be a third-party beneficiary of this CMI Exchange Agreement. CMI hereby acknowledges that each of the Holders who have executed the Consent to Amendment and Restatement of Warrant Agreement among Radio Holdings, the Warrant Agent, CMP Susquehanna Holdings Corp. and the Holders party thereto, have so requested to CMI in writing, and CMI hereby acknowledges that all such Holders are third-party beneficiaries of this CMI Exchange Agreement.

Exhibit 99.1
Cumulus Media Inc. Completes Acquisition of
Cumulus Media Partners, LLC
ATLANTA — August 1, 2011 — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Cumulus Media Inc. (NASDAQ: CMLS) today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of the remaining equity interests of Cumulus Media Partners, LLC (“CMP”) that it did not already own. CMP owns 32 radio stations in nine markets, including San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Kansas City. Cumulus has operated CMP’s business pursuant to a management agreement since CMP acquired the radio broadcasting business of Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Co.
In connection with the acquisition, Cumulus issued 9,945,714 shares of its common stock to affiliates of the three private equity firms that had collectively owned 75% of CMP — Bain Capital Partners, LLC (“Bain”), The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”). Blackstone received shares of Cumulus’ Class A common stock and, in accordance with Federal Communications Commission broadcast ownership rules, Bain and THL each received shares of a new authorized Class D non-voting common stock. Cumulus has owned the remaining 25% of CMP’s equity interests since Cumulus, together with Bain, Blackstone and THL, formed CMP in 2005.
Also in connection with the acquisition, currently outstanding warrants to purchase common stock of a subsidiary of CMP were amended to instead become exercisable for up to 8,267,968 shares of common stock of Cumulus.
The acquisition of CMP was completed earlier today, following receipt of approval by Cumulus’ stockholders at its annual meeting of stockholders on Friday, July 29, 2011.
Cumulus’ Chairman and CEO, Lew Dickey, commented: “We are pleased to have completed this important step with our acquisition of CMP. The combination of Cumulus and CMP is a strategic transaction that simplifies our operational structure and positions us to complete our pending transformational deal with Citadel Broadcasting. Following the completion of the Citadel acquisition, we plan to capitalize on the scale of the resulting pro forma platform of approximately 570 stations in 120 markets, and a radio network serving approximately 4000 station affiliates, to compete aggressively with our content and distribution capabilities in broadcast and new media. We are also excited about the opportunity to offer investors what we expect will be the largest pure play radio company, with a large and liquid market capitalization as well as a strong and flexible balance sheet that is well-positioned for continued growth.”
Cumulus currently expects that, subject to receiving final regulatory approvals and approval by the stockholders of Citadel Broadcasting Corporation, the Citadel acquisition will be completed prior to the end of 2011.

-8-


 

exercise thereof. A waiver of any right or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy on any other occasion.
           Section 4.11 Entire Agreement . This Agreement (together with the Exchange Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the Parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, other than the agreements listed on Schedule A , each of which remains in full force and effect.

           Section 4.15 Specific Performance . The Parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor and therefore fully intend for specific performance to be the principal remedy for breaches of this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.1, the Parties to this Agreement will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 4.16 herein, without proof of actual damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to object to a remedy of specific performance on the basis that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 4.15 are an integral part of the Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 4.15 , and each Party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
