The
information in this prospectus is not complete and may be
changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is
effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these
securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these
securities in any state where the offer or sale is not
permitted.
|
| Our offer to exchange original notes for exchange notes will be open until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2005, unless we extend the offer. | |
| We will exchange all outstanding original notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer. You should carefully review the procedures for tendering the original notes beginning on page 19 of this prospectus. | |
| If you fail to tender your original notes, you will continue to hold unregistered securities and your ability to transfer them could be adversely affected. The exchange of original notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer generally will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. | |
| We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer. | |
| No public market currently exists for the outstanding notes or the exchange notes. We do not intend to list the exchange notes on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market. | |
| Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. The letter of transmittal to be used in connection with the exchange offer states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for original notes where such original notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the consummation of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See Plan of Distribution starting on page 77 of this prospectus. |

Exchange Offer | We are offering to exchange up to $200,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013, which have been registered under the Securities Act, for an equal aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013, to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement that we entered into when the original notes were sold in transactions under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act. | |
Expiration Date | The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2005, unless extended. | |
Withdrawal; Non-Acceptance | You may withdraw any original notes tendered in the exchange offer at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2005. If we decide for any reason not to accept any original notes tendered for exchange, the original notes will be returned to the registered holder at our expense promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. In the case of original notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agents account at The Depository Trust Company, any withdrawn or unaccepted original notes will be credited to the tendering holders account at The Depository Trust Company. | |
For further information regarding the withdrawal of tendered original notes, see The Exchange Offer Terms of the Exchange Offer; Expiration Date; Extension; Termination; Amendment and Withdrawal Rights. | ||
Conditions to the Exchange Offer | The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions, which we may waive. See the discussion below under the caption The Exchange Offer Conditions to the Exchange Offer for more information regarding the conditions to the exchange offer. | |
Exchange Agent | The Bank of New York is serving as exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer. | |
Procedures for Tendering Original Notes | If you wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must either: | |
complete, sign and date an original or faxed letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions in the letter of transmittal accompanying this prospectus; or |
2
arrange for The Depository Trust Company to transmit required information to the exchange agent in connection with a book- entry transfer. | ||
Then you must mail, fax or deliver all required documentation to The Bank of New York, which is acting as the exchange agent for the exchange offer. The exchange agents address appears on the letter of transmittal. By tendering your original notes in either of these manners, you will represent to and agree with us that: | ||
you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business; | ||
you are not engaged in, and you do not intend to engage in, the distribution (within the meaning of the federal securities laws) of the exchange notes; | ||
you have no arrangement or understanding with anyone to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes; and | ||
you are not an affiliate, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of the Company. | ||
See The Exchange Offer Procedures for Tendering Original Notes and The Depository Trust Company Book-Entry Transfer. | ||
Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for original notes, where such original notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. See Plan of Distribution. | ||
Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners | If you are a beneficial owner of original notes that are held by or registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or custodian and you wish to tender your original notes, you should contact your intermediary entity promptly and instruct it to tender the exchange notes on your behalf. | |
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures | If you desire to tender original notes in the exchange offer and: | |
the original notes are not immediately available; | ||
time will not permit delivery of the original notes and all required documents to the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date; or | ||
the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, | ||
you may nevertheless tender the original notes, provided that you comply with all of the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in The Exchange Offer Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. | ||
Resales of Exchange Notes | Based on an interpretation by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that you can |
3
resell and transfer your exchange notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, if you can make the representations that appear above under the heading The Exchange Offer Procedures for Tendering Original Notes. | ||
We cannot guarantee that the SEC would make a similar decision about the exchange offer. If our belief is wrong, or if you cannot truthfully make the representations appearing above, and you transfer any exchange note without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your exchange notes from such requirements, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We are not indemnifying you against this liability. | ||
Accrued Interest on the Exchange Notes and the Original Notes | The exchange notes will bear interest from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the original notes. If your original notes are accepted for exchange, then you will receive interest on the exchange notes and not on the original notes. | |
Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences | The exchange of original notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes. See the discussion below under the caption Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences for more information regarding the tax consequences to you of the exchange offer. | |
Consequences of Failure to Exchange Original Notes | All untendered original notes will remain subject to the restrictions on transfer provided for in the original notes and in the indenture. Generally, the original notes that are not exchanged for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer will remain restricted securities and may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we do not currently anticipate that we will register the original notes under the Securities Act. | |
Because we anticipate that most holders of the original notes will elect to exchange their original notes, we expect that the liquidity of the markets, if any, for any original notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offer will be substantially limited. | ||
Use of Proceeds | We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of exchange notes in the exchange offer. We will pay all registration and other expenses incidental to the exchange offer. |

See Description of Exchange Notes Repurchase at the Option of Holders Change of Control. | |
Asset Sales | We may be obligated to purchase the exchange notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase with the net proceeds of certain sales or other dispositions of assets. See Description of Exchange Notes Repurchase at the Option of Holders Asset Sales. | |
Certain Covenants | The indenture governing the exchange notes will, among other things, restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: | |

issue or sell capital stock of our subsidiaries; | ||
engage in transactions with affiliates; | ||
create liens; | ||

Registration Rights | Concurrently with the closing of the original notes, we entered into, together with the guarantors of the original notes, an agreement with the initial purchaser of the original notes under which we are obligated to file a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the notes for a new issue of identical exchange notes registered under the Securities Act on or prior to 180 days after the date of the original issuance of the notes. We are also obligated to use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective on or prior to 260 days after the date of the original issuance of the original notes. | |
If we fail to satisfy these obligations, we may required to pay you additional interest. See Description of Exchange Notes Registration Rights; Additional Interest. | ||
These registration rights applicable to the original notes are not applicable to the exchange notes. |

(1) | Year-to-year comparisons are significantly affected by Radio Ones acquisition of various radio stations during the periods covered. |
(2) | Interest expense includes non-cash interest, such as the accretion of principal, the amortization of discounts on debt and the amortization of deferred financing costs. |
(3) | Income (loss) before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle is the reported amount, less dividends paid on Radio Ones preferred securities. |
(4) | The pro forma amounts summarize the effect of SFAS No. 142 as of the beginning of the periods presented. For 2000-2001, the net loss is adjusted to eliminate the amortization expense recognized in those periods related to goodwill and FCC licenses, as these indefinite-lived assets are no longer amortized under SFAS No. 142. The adjusted amounts do not include any adjustments for potential impairment of Radio Ones indefinite-lived assets that could have resulted if Radio One had adopted |

SFAS No. 142 as of the beginning of the years presented and performed the required impairment test under this standard. | |
(5) | Cash interest expense is calculated as interest expense less non-cash interest, including the accretion of principal, the amortization of discounts on debt and the amortization of deferred financing costs, for the indicated period. |
(6) | Net income or loss before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, change in accounting principle, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as EBITDA. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe EBITDA is often a useful measure of a companys operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business because EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization, change in accounting principle and interest expense that have resulted from our acquisitions and debt financings, and our interest income and income tax provision or benefit. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA provides helpful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our physical plant or capital structure. EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA does not purport to represent operating loss or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. |

(7) | Net income before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest income, interest expense, equity in net loss of affiliated company, other expense, corporate expenses and non-cash compensation expenses is commonly referred to in our business as station operating income. Station operating income is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless we believe station operating income is often a useful measure of a broadcasting companys operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our stations within the various markets because station operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations apart from expenses associated with our physical plant, income tax provision or benefit, investments, debt financings, overhead and non-cash compensation. Station operating income is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of station operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Station operating income does not purport to represent operating loss or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. |

Nevertheless, we believe that station operating income margin is a useful measure of our performance because it provides helpful information about our profitability as a percentage of our net broadcasting revenue. |
10
Decreased spending by advertisers can adversely affect our revenue and operating results. |
We may lose audience share and advertising revenue to competing radio stations or other types of media competitors. |
We must respond to the rapid changes in technology, services and standards which characterize our industry in order to remain competitive. |
11
| satellite delivered digital audio radio service, which has resulted in the introduction of several new satellite radio services with sound quality equivalent to that of compact discs; | |
| audio programming by cable television systems, direct broadcast satellite systems, Internet content providers and other digital audio broadcast formats; and | |
| digital audio and video content available for listening and/or viewing on the Internet and/or available to be downloaded to portable devices. |
The loss of key personnel, including on-air talent, could disrupt the management and operations of our business. |
Our acquisition strategy could be hampered by a lack of attractive opportunities or other risks associated with integrating the operations, systems and management of the radio stations we acquire. |
| increases in prices for radio stations due to increased competition for acquisition opportunities; | |
| reduction in the number of suitable acquisition targets; | |
| failure or unanticipated delays in completing acquisitions due to difficulties in obtaining required regulatory approval, including possible difficulties in obtaining antitrust approval for acquisitions in markets where we already own multiple stations or potential delays resulting from the uncertainty arising from legal challenges to the FCCs adoption of new broadcast ownership rules; | |
| difficulty in integrating operations and systems and managing a large and geographically diverse group of radio stations; | |
| failure of some acquisitions to prove profitable or generate sufficient cash flow; | |
| issuance of large amounts of common stock in order to purchase radio stations; | |
| need to finance acquisitions through funding from the credit or capital markets; and | |
| inability to finance acquisitions on acceptable terms. |
12
Our business depends on maintaining our licenses with the FCC. We could be prevented from operating a radio station if we fail to maintain its license. |
There is significant uncertainty regarding the FCCs media ownership rules, and such rules could restrict our ability to acquire radio stations. |
13
Increased enforcement by FCC of its indecency rules against the broadcast industry. |
Two common stockholders have a majority voting interest in Radio One and have the power to control matters on which our common stockholders may vote, and their interests may conflict with yours. |
Our substantial level of debt could limit our ability to grow and compete. |
| obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt payments or other corporate purposes; | |
| have sufficient funds available for operations, future business opportunities or other purposes; | |
| compete with competitors that have less debt than we do; and | |
| react to changing market conditions, changes in our industry and economic downturns. |
14
Your right to receive payment on the notes and the guarantees is junior to all of our and the guarantors senior debt. |
15
The terms of the notes and our other debt restrict us from engaging in many activities and require us to satisfy various financial tests, and these restrictions may make it more difficult to pursue our acquisition strategy. |
| incur or guarantee additional debt, | |
| pay cash dividends, | |
| purchase our capital stock, | |
| make capital expenditures, | |
| make certain investments or other restricted payments, | |
| swap or sell assets, | |
| engage in transactions with related parties, | |
| secure non-senior debt with our assets, or | |
| merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our assets. |
Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the notes. |
16
| impair our ability to meet one or more of the financial ratios contained in our debt agreements or to generate cash sufficient to pay interest or principal, including periodic principal amortization payments, which events could result in an acceleration of some or all of our outstanding debt as a result of cross-default provisions; | |
| increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; | |
| limit our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our growth strategy or other purposes; | |
| require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes; | |
| limit our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and our industry that could make us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and | |
| place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt. |
To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control. |
Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the notes and require holders to return payments received from guarantors. |
17
If you do not properly tender your original notes for exchange notes, you will continue to hold unregistered notes that are subject to transfer restrictions. |

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a 11 presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. 11.02 Derivative Actions. Subject to all of the provisions of this Article XI, the corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders. However, indemnification shall not be made for any claim, issue or matter in which such person has been found liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought has determined upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for the reasonable expenses incurred. 11.03 Expenses of Successful Defense. To the extent that a person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 11.01 or 11.02 of these Bylaws, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter in the action, suit or proceeding, the person shall be indemnified against actual and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by such person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding and any action, suit or proceeding brought to enforce the mandatory indemnification provided by this Section 11.03. 11.04 Definition. For the purposes of Sections 11.01 and 11.02, "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, the director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be considered to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders" as referred to in Sections 11.01 and 11.02. 11.05 Contract Right; Limitation on Indemnity. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article XI shall be a contract right, and shall apply to services of a director or officer as an employee or agent of the corporation as well as in such person's capacity as a director or 12 officer. Except as provided in Section 11.03 of these Bylaws, the corporation shall have no obligations under this Article XI to indemnify any person in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person without authorization by the Board of Directors. 11.06 Determination That Indemnification is Proper. Any indemnification under Section 11.01 or 11.02 of these Bylaws (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the person is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 11.01 or 11.02, whichever is applicable, and upon an evaluation of the reasonableness of expenses and amount paid in settlement. Such determination and evaluation shall be made in any of the following ways: (a) By a majority vote of a quorum of the Board consisting of directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to such action, suit or proceeding. (b) If the quorum described in clause (a) above is not obtainable, then by a majority vote of a committee of directors duly designated by the Board of Directors and consisting solely of two or more directors who are not at the time parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding. (c) By independent legal counsel in a written opinion, which counsel shall be selected in one of the following ways: (i) by the board or its committee in the manner prescribed in subparagraph (a) or (b), or (ii) if a quorum of the board cannot be obtained under subparagraph (a) and a committee cannot be designated under subparagraph (b), by the board. (d) By the shareholders, but shares held by directors or officers who are parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding may not be voted. 11.07 Proportionate Indemnity. If a person is entitled to indemnification under Section 11.01 or 11.02 of these Bylaws for a portion of expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, but not for the total amount thereof, the corporation shall indemnify the person for the portion of the expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, or amounts paid in settlement for which the person is entitled to be indemnified. 11.08 Expense Advance. The corporation may pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a person referred to in Section 11.01 or 11.02 of these bylaws who is a party or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit, or proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if all of the following apply: (a) the person furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 11.01 or 11.02; (b) the person furnishes the corporation a written undertaking executed personally, or on his or her behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that 13 he or she did not meet the standard of conduct; (c) the authorization of payment is made in the manner specified in Section 11.06; and (d) a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under Section 11.01 or 11.02. The undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation of the person on whose behalf advances are made but need not be secured. 11.09 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The indemnification or advancement of expenses provided under this Article XI is not exclusive of other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under a contractual arrangement with the corporation. However, the total amount of expenses advanced or indemnified from all sources combined shall not exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred by the parson seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses. 11.10 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article XI with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the corporation. 11.11 Former Directors and Officers. The indemnification provided in this Article XI continues as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person. 11.12 Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have power to indemnify the person against such liability under these Bylaws or the laws of the State of Michigan. 11.13 Changes in Michigan Law. In the event of any change of the Michigan statutory provisions applicable to the corporation relating to the subject matter of Article XI of these Bylaws, then the indemnification to which any person shall be entitled hereunder shall be determined by such changed provisions, but only to the extent that any such change permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such provisions permitted the corporation to provide prior to any such change. Subject to Section 11.14, the Board of Directors is authorized to amend these Bylaws to conform to any such changed statutory provisions. 11.14 Amendment or Repeal of Article XI. No amendment or repeal of this Article XI shall apply to or have any effect on any director or officer of the corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal. 14 ARTICLE XII AMENDMENTS 12.01 Amendments.

In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate(s), and record the transaction on its books.

If no record -9- date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. Section 6. Registered Stockholders. Prior to the surrender to the corporation of the certificate(s) for a share(s) of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share(s), the corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share(s) on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

Unless otherwise provided for in the subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series. In case of default in the payment of any installment or call when such payment is due, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the corporation. -10- ARTICLE VI GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 1.

The Company shall pay the expenses of members and managers incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the manager or member to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. This provision does not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which personnel of the Company other than managers or members may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law. MAINTENANCE OF INSURANCE OR OTHER FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a member, manager, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, member, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a manager, member, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses. -13- Such financial arrangements may include: the creation of a trust fund; the establishment of a program of self-insurance; the securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the Company; or the establishment of a letter of credit, guaranty or surety. No financial arrangement may, however, provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to the advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court. Any such insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person may be provided by the Company or any other person approved by the managers, if any, or by the members, if no managers exist, even if all or part of the other person's member's interest in the Company is owned by the Company. The decision of the Company as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive. The insurance or other financial arrangement is not void or voidable and does not subject any manager or member approving it to personal liability for his action, even if a manager or member approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement. REPEAL OR MODIFICATION. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing indemnification provision by the Members or the Board of Managers of the Company shall not increase the personal liability of any member of the Board of Managers, officer or other person entitled to indemnification hereunder of the Company for any act or occurrence taking place prior to such repeal or modification, or otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of a manager or officer of the Company existing at the time of such repeal or modification. -14- SCHEDULE II - BOARD OF MANAGERS L.

To those ends, the Partnership may acquire, finance or otherwise deal with real and personal property or the proceeds thereof. In addition, this Partnership may undertake any other lawful act or engage in any other business or venture permitted under the Act as may from time 1 to time be determined by partnership Action. Section 1.04. Interest in Partnership. The units of Partnership capital held by either General or Limited Partners of the Partnership shall be personal property for all purposes. All property owned by the Partnership, including, but not limited to, real and personal property and tangible and intangible property, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or otherwise, shall have any ownership interest in such property. ARTICLE TWO TERM OF PARTNERSHIP Section 2.01. Term of Partnership. The Partnership shall be formed at the time of the filing of the initial Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or at any later time specified in the initial Certificate of Limited Partnership), and shall continue until dissolved pursuant to the provisions of Article Eight below. Section 2.02. Wind-Up. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the business shall be wound up and the remaining property of the Partnership shall be distributed and applied as provided in Article Eight below. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL UNITS Section 3.01. Partnership Capital. The capital of the Partnership shall consist of 100 partnership units. A Partner may be both a General Partner and a Limited Partner of the Partnership.

Reg. Section 1.704-1(b). Section 3.02. Capital Contributions. Each of the Partners shall contribute to the initial capital of the Partnership and the initial capital accounts of each Partner shall equal the amount specified opposite the Partner's name in cash or the fair market value of property (net of liabilities securing such contributed property that the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")). For each One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of value contributed to the Partnership upon its formation, each Partner shall be allocated one (1) Partnership unit. Each of the Partners shall be allocated the number of units of Partnership capital specified below: 2 The initial capital accounts of such Partners shall be credited accordingly. A list of all property which is contributed pursuant to this Section 3.02 and value thereof shall be shown on Exhibit "3.02" which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Section 3.03. Liability of Partners. In addition to a Partner's capital contribution, each General Partner shall be personally liable for the obligations of the Partnership. Such liability as between General Partners shall be in the proportion which the number of capital units held by each General Partner bears to the total number of capital units held by all General Partners at that time. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Limited Partner's liability for the obligations of the Partnership shall be limited to the aggregate amount of the Limited Partner's agreed upon contribution to the Partnership. Section 3.04. Return of Contribution. No Partner General or Limited, shall have any right to the return or withdrawal of said Partner's capital contributions, until termination of the Partnership, unless such withdrawal is consented to by all other Partners or otherwise provided for herein or by law. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the General Partners shall not be personally liable for the return of all or any portion of the contributions of the Limited Partners, it being understood and agreed that any such return shall be made solely from Partnership assets. Section 3.05. Capital Accounts. The appropriate capital account of each Partner shall be determined and maintained in accordance with the rules of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and the appropriate initial capital account of each Partner shall be increased by (a) the amount of each Partner's additional cash capital contribution, (b) the fair market value of any additional property contributed by the Partner to the Partnership (net of liabilities securing such contributed property that the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code) and (c) allocations to the Partner of Partnership income and gain (or items thereof, including income and gain exempt from tax and income and gain described in Treas. Reg. Section 3

Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i); and decreased by (d) the amount of cash distributed to the Partner by the Partnership, (e) the fair market value of property distributed to the Partner by the Partnership (net of liabilities securing such distributed property that such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), (f) allocations to the Partner of expenditures of the Partnership described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and (g) allocations of Partnership loss and deduction (or item thereof), including loss and deduction described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding items described in subparagraph (f) of this Section and loss or deduction described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) or (iii); provided, however, that each Partner's capital account shall be otherwise adjusted as required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Each Partner who has more than one interest in the Partnership shall have a single capital account that reflects all such interests as required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b). Section 3.06. Capital Account Restatement. The appropriate capital accounts of the Partners shall be restated in the event that additional contributions are made to the Partnership, Partnership property is distributed to a Partner, a new Partner is admitted to the Partnership, a Partner withdraws from the Partnership, the Partnership is dissolved or in any other event as the General Partners deem appropriate; provided, however, that a capital account restatement shall be effected in such manner and at such time as required by Section 704(b) of the Code. The appropriate capital accounts shall be restated by (a) determining the fair market value of all Partnership assets (taking Section 7701(g) of the Code into account) as of the date of such restatement, (b) allocating any unrealized income, gain, loss or deduction inherent in such assets (that has not been reflected previously in the capital accounts) among the Partners as if there were a taxable disposition of such assets for their fair market value as of the date of such restatement, (c) making any adjustment required in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations to the Partners of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such assets, and (d) determining the Partner's distributive share of depreciation, depletion amortization, and gain or loss, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to such assets so as to take into account the variation between the adjusted tax basis and Book Value (as defined in Section 12.17) of such property in the same manner as required by Section 704(c) of the Code. Section 3.07. Deficit Capital Accounts. A deficit in the capital account of a General Partner (but not a Limited Partner) shall be deemed to create a debt from such General Partner to the Partnership in the event of the dissolution of the Partnership as provided in Article Eight below. 4 ARTICLE FOUR ALLOCATION OF INCOME, GAIN, LOSS, DEDUCTION AND CREDIT Section 4.01. Net Income and Net Loss. The terms "Net Income" or "Net Loss," as the case may be, of the Partnership shall mean the Partnership's taxable income or taxable loss for Federal income taxation purposes as determined by the accountants then employed by the Partnership in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code, with the items required to be separately stated by Section 703(a)(1) of the Code combined into a single net amount; provided, however, that in the event the taxable income or taxable loss of the Partnership for such fiscal year is later adjusted in any manner, as a result of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") or otherwise, then the taxable income or taxable loss of the Partnership shall be adjusted to the same extent. "Net Income" and "Net Loss" shall be further adjusted as follows: a. "Net Income" and "Net Loss," as the case may be, shall be adjusted to treat items of tax-exempt income described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) of the Code as items of gross income, and to treat as deductible items all non-deductible, non-capital expenditures described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, including any items treated under Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) as items described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code. b. In lieu of depreciation, depletion, cost recovery and amortization deductions allowable for Federal income taxation purposes to the Partnership with respect to property contributed to the Partnership by a Partner, there shall be taken into account an amount equal to the product derived by multiplying the Book Value (as defined in Section 12.17) of such property at the beginning of such fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of depreciation, depletion, cost recovery or amortization deductions allowable with respect to such property for Federal income taxation purposes and the denominator of which is the adjusted basis for Federal income taxation purposes of such property at the beginning of such fiscal year. c. In lieu of actual gain or loss recognized by the Partnership for Federal income taxation purposes as a result of the sale or other disposition of property of the Partnership, there shall be taken into account the gain or loss that would have been recognized by the Partnership for Federal income taxation purposes if the Book Value (as defined in Section 12.17) of such property as of the date sold or otherwise disposed of by the Partnership were its adjusted basis for Federal income taxation purposes. 5 Section 4.02. Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 4.06 hereof: a. Net Income. Net Income for the fiscal year shall be allocated in the following order of priority: i. First, one hundred percent (100%) to the General Partners, in proportion to which the number of capital units held by each General Partner bears to the total number of capital units held by all General Partners, until aggregate Net Income allocated to the General Partners under this Section 4.02(a)(i) for such fiscal year and all previous fiscal years is equal to the aggregate losses allocated to the General Partners pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(ii) for all prior fiscal years; and ii. Second, the balance, if any, to all Partners, in proportion to which the number of capital units held by each Partner bears to the total number of capital units held by all Partners. b. Net Loss. Net Loss for the fiscal year shall be allocated in the following order of priority: i. First, one hundred percent (100%) shall be allocated among all the Partners, in proportion to which the number of capital units held by each Partner bears to the total number of capital units held by all Partners, to the extent that such allocation would not cause the Limited Partners to have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits at the end of such fiscal year; and ii. Second, the balance, if any, shall be allocated among all the General Partners, in proportion to which the number of capital units held by each General Partner bears to the total number of capital units held by all General Partners. Section 4.03. Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order: a. Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article Four, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership fiscal year, each General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the portion of such General Partner's, Limited Partner's or assignee's or transferee's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 6 1.704-2(g)(1) that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership property subject to nonrecourse liabilities (as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(b)(3)), determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(d), or (ii) if such General Partner, Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a partnership interest would otherwise have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 4.03(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. To the extent permitted by such Section and only for the purposes of this Section 4.03(a), each General Partner's, Limited Partner's and assignee's or transferee's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this Article Four with respect to such fiscal year and without regard to any net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during such fiscal year. b. Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article Four except Section 4.03(a), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership fiscal year, each General Partner, Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a partnership interest who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the portion of such General Partner's, Limited Partner's or assignee's or transferee's share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(5), that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership property subject to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(4), or (ii) if such General Partner, Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a partnership interest would otherwise have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 4.03(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for the purposes of this Section 4.03(b), each General Partner's, Limited Partner's, assignee's or transferee's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this Article Four with respect to such fiscal year, other 7 than allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(a) hereof. c. Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704 1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article Four have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.03(c) were not in the Agreement. d. Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest has a deficit capital account at the end of any Partnership fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treas. Regs. Sections 1.704 2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.03(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest would have a deficit capital account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article Four have been tentatively made as if Section 4.03(c) above and this Section 4.03(d) were not in the Agreement. e. Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated as provided in Section 4.02(a)(ii) above, f. Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Partner or assignee or transferee of a partnership interest who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i). 8 g. Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent Treas. Reg. Section 1.704 -(b)(2)(iv)(m) requires an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) to be taken into account in determining capital accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the capital accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners and assignees or transferees of a partnership interest in a manner consistent with the manner in which their capital accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations. Section 4.04. Curative Allocations a. The "Regulatory Allocations" consist of the "Basic Regulatory Allocations," as defined in Section 4.04(b) hereof, the "Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations," as defined in Section 4.04(c) hereof, and the "Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations," as defined in Section 4.04(d) hereof. b. The "Basic Regulatory Allocations" consist of (i) allocations pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(ii) hereof, and (ii) allocations pursuant to Sections 4.03(c), 4.03(d), and 4.03(g) hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the Regulatory Allocations, the Basic Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the General Partners, Limited Partners and assignees or transferees of a partnership interest so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Basic Regulatory Allocations to each General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest if the Basic Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence, allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) shall only be made with respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(g) hereof to the extent the General Partner or General Partners reasonably determine that such allocations will otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the parties to this Agreement. c. The "Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations" consist of all allocations pursuant to Sections 4.03(a) and 4.03(e) hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the Regulatory Allocations, the Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the General Partners, Limited Partners and assignees or transferees of a partnership interest so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations to each General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership 9 interest if the Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence (i) no allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be made prior to the Partnership fiscal year during which there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and then only to the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions caused by such net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and (ii) allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(e) hereof to the extent the General Partner or General Partners reasonably determine that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(a) hereof. d. The "Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations" consist of all allocations pursuant to Sections 4.03(b) and 4.03(f) hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the Regulatory Allocations, the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the General Partners, Limited Partners and assignees or transferees of a partnership interest so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations to each General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest if the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocation had not occurred. For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence (i) no allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04(d) shall be made with respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(f) relating to a particular Partner Nonrecourse Debt prior to the Partnership fiscal year during which there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, and then only to the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions caused by such net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain, and (ii) allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04(d) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(f) hereof relating to a particular Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent the General Partner or General Partners reasonably determine that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(b) hereof. e. The General Partner or General Partners shall have reasonable discretion, with respect to each Partnership fiscal year, to (i) apply the provisions of Sections 4.04(b), 4.04(c) and 4.04(d) hereof in whatever order is likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Regulatory Allocations, and (ii) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 4.04(b), 4.04(c) and 4.04(d) hereof among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions. 10 Section 4.05. Effects of Varying General and Limited Partnership Interests During a Partnership Year. In the event a Partner's interest as a General or Limited Partner varies during any fiscal year of the Partnership (whether by reason of withdrawal, additional capital contributions or otherwise), Net Income and Net Loss shall be computed and allocated in accordance with this Agreement as if periods between such variations were each a separate fiscal year of the Partnership. Section 4.06. Allocation of Income, Gain, Loss and Deduction; Section 704(c). Upon the sale of any property contributed by any Partner, the gain or loss represented by the difference between the adjusted basis for Federal income taxation purposes and Book Value of the property to the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partner who contributed such property, and the gain or loss in excess of that so allocated shall be allocated among the Partners as provided in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04 above. In addition, any other item of income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to such property shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 704(c) of the Code and Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), as amended from time to time. Section 4.07. Allocation of Tax Items. All items of depreciation, gain, loss, deduction or credit that are taken into account in determining Net Income or Net Loss, shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion as is provided in this Article Four. Section 4.08. Interest, Salaries or Fees Paid to Partners. Any interest paid on loans made by Partners to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and all salaries and fees paid to any Partner, if any, shall be deducted from gross income for Partnership book and tax purposes. Section 4.09. Definitions. Capitalized words and phrases used in this Article Four have the following meanings: a. Adjusted Capital Account Deficit means, with respect to any Limited Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such Limited Partner's capital account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, after giving effect to the following adjustments: i. Credit to such capital account any amounts which such Limited Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(g)(1) or would be deemed obligated to restore if Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions were treated as Nonrecourse Deductions; and ii. Debit to such capital account the items described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), and 1.704-1(b) (2)(ii)(d)(6). The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply with the provisions of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2) (ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 11 b. Nonrecourse Deductions has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(c). The amount of Nonrecourse Deductions for a Partnership fiscal year equals the net increase, if any, in the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain during that fiscal year, determined according to the provisions of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(c). c. Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(2). The amount of Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt for a Partnership fiscal year equals the excess, if any, of the net increase, if any, in the amount of Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt during that fiscal year over the aggregate amount of any distributions during that fiscal year to the General Partners, Limited Partners, or assignees or transferees of a partnership interest that bear the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent such distributions are from the proceeds of such Partner Nonrecourse Debt and are allocable to an increase in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(2). d. Partner Minimum Gain means an amount, with respect to each Partner Nonrecourse Debt, equal to the Partnership Minimum Gain that would result if such Partner Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a nonrecourse liability (as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(b)(3)), determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i). e. Partner Nonrecourse Debt has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(b)(4). f. Partnership Minimum Gain has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(d). g. Regulations means the regulations promulgated under the Code, as such regulations may be amended from time to time (including corresponding provisions of succeeding regulations). h.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, the interests of all General Partners, taken together, in each material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is equal to at least one percent (1%) of each such item at all times during the existence of the Partnership. In determining the General Partners' interests in such items, both the limited and general partnership units owned by the General Partners may be taken into account. 12 ARTICLE FIVE DISTRIBUTIONS Distributions by the Partnership to the Partners shall be made when and as determined by the General Partner.

First, to the payments of any debts and liabilities of the Partnership owing to persons other than any of the Partners; b. Second, to the payment of any debts and liabilities of the Partnership owing to any Partner, but in the event the amount available for such payment is insufficient to satisfy all such debts and liabilities, then to such Partners in the proportion which their respective claims bear to the claims of all such Partners; and c. Last, to the Partners in the proportion which the positive balance in each Partner's positive capital account bears to the aggregate capital account balance of all Partners at that time. 17 No Partner shall have a priority over any other Partner with respect to the distribution under subparagraph (c) above. Distributions made in accordance with this Section 8.01 shall be in full satisfaction of the Partner's claim against the Partnership for distribution and liquidation. A General Partner (but not a Limited Partner) shall be liable to restore to the Partnership any negative balance standing in such Partner's capital account, following the distributions required under this Section 8.01, which amount shall, when paid to the Partnership, be distributed by the Partners to the creditors of the Partnership, or to the other Partners in accordance with this Section 8.01. The Partner restoring any such negative balance shall be required to do so at a time not later than the latest permissible time permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii). In making distributions to the Partners, the positive capital account balances of the Partners shall be determined after taking into account all capital account adjustments required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2). Section 8.02. Events Causing Dissolution. The following events shall cause the dissolution of the Partnership: a.

Upon the withdrawal of a General Partner at a time when there is no other General Partner (except to the extent as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement); d. Upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under the Act; or e. Upon the failure of a new General Partner to qualify under the provisions of Section 8.04 below. Section 8.03. Agreement in Event of Dissolution by Act or Event Relating to Less Than All Partners. If the act of, or an event relating to, less than all Partners (the "Dissolving Partners"), including, without limitation, the withdrawal of a General Partner, shall for any purpose be considered an event of dissolution of the Partnership, then the remaining Partners shall enter into a new partnership upon the terms and conditions set forth above and upon the same terms and conditions governing the present Partnership, and each party to this Agreement hereby agrees for himself, his executor, administrator, heirs and assigns to enter into such new partnership and to execute any and all instruments necessary therefor. The act or event relating to the Dissolving Partners shall be treated as a notice of withdrawal by the Dissolving Partners of the entire capital account or capital accounts of the Dissolving Partners. 18 Section 8.04. Designation of a General Partner. Upon the withdrawal of Radio One of Texas I, LLC as a General Partner or upon the withdrawal of the last General Partner who may have been designated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.04, the Partnership shall continue for a period not exceeding ninety (90) days immediately following the withdrawal of the last General Partner. During such time, the Partners holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of capital units held by all Partners at that time shall designate a person or other legal entity as a new General Partner and such designee shall become a new General Partner by accepting such designation in writing and assuming the obligations of the last General Partner under this Agreement. In the event a new General Partner is not qualified within the time prescribed, then at the expiration of such period the Partnership shall dissolve and the affairs of the Partnership wound up and the property of the Partnership distributed as provided in this Article Eight. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if the withdrawal of any General Partner shall for any purpose be considered as a dissolution of the Partnership, then the provisions set forth in this Section 8.04 shall be construed as an agreement to enter into a new partnership upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and each party to this Agreement hereby agrees for himself, his executor, administrator, heirs and assigns to enter into such new partnership and to execute any and all instruments necessary therefor. Section 8.05. Bankruptcy, Incompetency or Death of a Limited Partner. Upon the bankruptcy of a Limited Partner, then the trustee of such bankrupt Limited Partner shall be considered an assignee of such Limited Partner's interest in this Partnership and such trustee shall be entitled only to the rights and benefits not inconsistent with this Agreement as are presently provided under Delaware State Law for a creditor of a person having a partnership interest. Section 8.06. Time to Dissolve. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Partnership and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to minimize the normal losses attendant upon such liquidation. Each of the Partners during the course of winding up the Partnership affairs and dissolution shall be furnished with a statement prepared by the General Partners which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of the termination of the Partnership. Section 8.07. Date of Termination. The Partnership shall be terminated when all of its assets have been applied and distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01 above.

Upon the termination of the Partnership, there shall be recorded a Certificate of Cancellation of the Partnership. 19 Section 8.08. Contingent Liabilities.

Each General Partner shall be responsible for the proportion of such liability as such General Partner was liable prior to the dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with Section 3.03 above. Each General Partner shall, if necessary, pay to the other General Partners any amounts as are necessary to insure that the terms of this Section are made fully effective. ARTICLE NINE AMENDMENT AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT This Agreement shall not be amended, altered, changed or added to except by a written instrument executed by all Partners as of the time of such alteration or amendment.

Radio One, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "General Partner"); and 2. Radio One of Texas II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and those limited partners who sign a "Limited Partner Signature Page" to this Agreement (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Limited Partners" and separately as a "Limited Partner"). All General Partners and Limited Partners (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Partners" and separately as a "Partner"), desiring to form a limited partnership under the provisions and conditions of Delaware State Law ("Delaware Law"), hereby state, confirm and agree as follows: WITNESSETH: ARTICLE ONE NAME OF PARTNERSHIP, PLACE, CHARACTER OF BUSINESS AND INTEREST Section 1.01. Name. The name of the partnership shall be RADIO ONE OF INDIANA, L.P. (hereinafter referred to as the "Partnership"). Section 1.02. Registered Office and Place of Business. The registered office shall be: 21 East St. Joseph Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204, or at such other place within or without the State of Indiana as may from time to time be determined by Partnership Action as defined in Section 12.02 below. The place of business of the Partnership shall be at the registered office, or at such other place or places within or without the State of Indiana as may from time to time be determined by Partnership Action. Section 1.03. Character of Business. The Partnership is formed for the principal purpose of owning and operating radio and television stations and any activities that are incidental or related to that business. To those ends, the Partnership may acquire, finance or otherwise deal with real and personal property or the proceeds thereof. In addition, this Partnership may undertake any other lawful act or engage in any other business or venture permitted under the Act 1 as may from time to time be determined by partnership Action. Section 1.04. Interest in Partnership. The units of Partnership capital held by either General or Limited Partners of the Partnership shall be personal property for all purposes. All property owned by the Partnership, including, but not limited to, real and personal property and tangible and intangible property, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or otherwise, shall have any ownership interest in such property. ARTICLE TWO TERM OF PARTNERSHIP Section 2.01. Term of Partnership. The Partnership shall be formed at the time of the filing of the initial Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or at any later time specified in the initial Certificate of Limited Partnership), and shall continue until dissolved pursuant to the provisions of Article Eight below. Section 2.02. Wind-Up. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the business shall be wound up and the remaining property of the Partnership shall be distributed and applied as provided in Article Eight below. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL UNITS Section 3.01. Partnership Capital. The capital of the Partnership shall consist of 100 partnership units. A Partner may be both a General Partner and a Limited Partner of the Partnership. Although accounts shall be maintained separately for each General Partner and for each Limited Partner, the combined accounts of any Partner shall constitute his single capital account maintained as required under Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-l(b). Section 3.02. Capital Contributions. Each of the Partners shall contribute to the initial capital of the Partnership and the initial capital accounts of each Partner shall equal the amount specified opposite the Partner's name in cash or the fair market value of property (net of liabilities securing such contributed property that the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")). For each One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of value contributed to the Partnership upon its formation, each Partner shall be allocated one (1) Partnership unit. Each of the Partners shall be allocated the number of units of Partnership capital specified below: 2 The initial capital accounts of such Partners shall be credited accordingly. A list of all property which is contributed pursuant to this Section 3.02 and value thereof shall be shown on Exhibit "3.02" which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Section 3.03. Liability of Partners. In addition to a Partner's capital contribution, each General Partner shall be personally liable for the obligations of the Partnership. Such liability as between General Partners shall be in the proportion which the number of capital units held by each General Partner bears to the total number of capital units held by all General Partners at that time. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Limited Partner's liability for the obligations of the Partnership shall be limited to the aggregate amount of the Limited Partner's agreed upon contribution to the Partnership. Section 3.04. Return of Contribution. No Partner General or Limited, shall have any right to the return or withdrawal of said Partner's capital contributions, until termination of the Partnership, unless such withdrawal is consented to by all other Partners or otherwise provided for herein or by law. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the General Partners shall not be personally liable for the return of all or any portion of the contributions of the Limited Partners, it being understood and agreed that any such return shall be made solely from Partnership assets. Section 3.05. Capital Accounts. The appropriate capital account of each Partner shall be determined and maintained in accordance with the rules of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and the appropriate initial capital account of each Partner shall be increased by (a) the amount of each Partner's additional cash capital contribution, (b) the fair market value of any additional property contributed by the Partner to the Partnership (net of liabilities securing such contributed property that the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code) and (c) allocations to the Partner of Partnership income and gain (or items thereof, including 3

Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding income and gain described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i); and decreased by (d) the amount of cash distributed to the Partner by the Partnership, (e) the fair market value of property distributed to the Partner by the Partnership (net of liabilities securing such distributed property that such Partner is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), (f) allocations to the Partner of expenditures of the Partnership described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and (g) allocations of Partnership loss and deduction (or item thereof), including loss and deduction described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding items described in subparagraph (f) of this Section and loss or deduction described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) or (iii); provided, however, that each Partner's capital account shall be otherwise adjusted as required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Each Partner who has more than one interest in the Partnership shall have a single capital account that reflects all such interests as required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b). Section 3.06. Capital Account Restatement. The appropriate capital accounts of the Partners shall be restated in the event that additional contributions are made to the Partnership, Partnership property is distributed to a Partner, a new Partner is admitted to the Partnership, a Partner withdraws from the Partnership, the Partnership is dissolved or in any other event as the General Partners deem appropriate; provided, however, that a capital account restatement shall be effected in such manner and at such time as required by Section 704(b) of the Code. The appropriate capital accounts shall be restated by (a) determining the fair market value of all Partnership assets (taking Section 7701(g) of the Code into account) as of the date of such restatement, (b) allocating any unrealized income, gain, loss or deduction inherent in such assets (that has not been reflected previously in the capital accounts) among the Partners as if there were a taxable disposition of such assets for their fair market value as of the date of such restatement, (c) making any adjustment required in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations to the Partners of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such assets, and (d) determining the Partner's distributive share of depreciation, depletion amortization, and gain or loss, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to such assets so as to take into account the variation between the adjusted tax basis and Book Value (as defined in Section 12.17) of such property in the same manner as required by Section 704(c) of the Code. Section 3.07. Deficit Capital Accounts. A deficit in the capital account of a General Partner (but not a Limited Partner) shall be deemed to create a debt from such General Partner to the Partnership in the event of the dissolution of the Partnership as provided in Article Eight below. 4 ARTICLE FOUR ALLOCATION OF INCOME, GAIN, LOSS, DEDUCTION AND CREDIT Section 4.01. Net Income and Net Loss. The terms "Net Income" or "Net Loss," as the case may be, of the Partnership shall mean the Partnership's taxable income or taxable loss for Federal income taxation purposes as determined by the accountants then employed by the Partnership in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code, with the items required to be separately stated by Section 703(a)(1) of the Code combined into a single net amount; provided, however, that in the event the taxable income or taxable loss of the Partnership for such fiscal year is later adjusted in any manner, as a result of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") or otherwise, then the taxable income or taxable loss of the Partnership shall be adjusted to the same extent. "Net Income" and "Net Loss" shall be further adjusted as follows: a. "Net Income" and "Net Loss," as the case may be, shall be adjusted to treat items of tax-exempt income described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) of the Code as items of gross income, and to treat as deductible items all non-deductible, non-capital expenditures described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, including any items treated under Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) as items described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code. b. In lieu of depreciation, depletion, cost recovery and amortization deductions allowable for Federal income taxation purposes to the Partnership with respect to property contributed to the Partnership by a Partner, there shall be taken into account an amount equal to the product derived by multiplying the Book Value (as defined in Section 12.17) of such property at the beginning of such fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of depreciation, depletion, cost recovery or amortization deductions allowable with respect to such property for Federal income taxation purposes and the denominator of which is the adjusted basis for Federal income taxation purposes of such property at the beginning of such fiscal year. c. In lieu of actual gain or loss recognized by the Partnership for Federal income taxation purposes as a result of the sale or other disposition of property of the Partnership, there shall be taken into account the gain or loss that would have been recognized by the Partnership for Federal income taxation purposes if the Book Value (as defined in Section 12.17) of such property as of the date sold or otherwise disposed of by the Partnership were its adjusted basis for Federal income taxation purposes. 5 Section 4.02. Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 4.06 hereof: a. Net Income. Net Income for the fiscal year shall be allocated in the following order of priority: i. First, one hundred percent (100%) to the General Partners, in proportion to which the number of capital units held by each General Partner bears to the total number of capital units held by all General Partners, until aggregate Net Income allocated to the General Partners under this Section 4.02(a)(i) for such fiscal year and all previous fiscal years is equal to the aggregate losses allocated to the General Partners pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(ii) for all prior fiscal years; and ii. Second, the balance, if any, to all Partners, in proportion to which the number of capital units held by each Partner bears to the total number of capital units held by all Partners. b. Net Loss. Net Loss for the fiscal year shall be allocated in the following order of priority: i. First, one hundred percent (100%) shall be allocated among all the Partners, in proportion to which the number of capital units held by each Partner bears to the total number of capital units held by all Partners, to the extent that such allocation would not cause the Limited Partners to have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits at the end of such fiscal year; and ii. Second, the balance, if any, shall be allocated among all the General Partners, in proportion to which the number of capital units held by each General Partner bears to the total number of capital units held by all General Partners. Section 4.03. Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order: a. Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article Four, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership fiscal year, each General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the portion of such General Partner's, Limited Partner's or assignee's or transferee's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 6 1.704-2(g)(1) that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership property subject to nonrecourse liabilities (as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(b)(3)), determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(d), or (ii) if such General Partner, Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a partnership interest would otherwise have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 4.03(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. To the extent permitted by such Section and only for the purposes of this Section 4.03(a), each General Partner's, Limited Partner's and assignee's or transferee's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this Article Four with respect to such fiscal year and without regard to any net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during such fiscal year. b. Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article Four except Section 4.03(a), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership fiscal year, each General Partner, Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a partnership interest who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the portion of such General Partner's, Limited Partner's or assignee's or transferee's share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(5), that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership property subject to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(4), or (ii) if such General Partner, Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a partnership interest would otherwise have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 4.03(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for the purposes of this Section 4.03(b), each General Partner's, Limited Partner's, assignee's or transferee's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this Article Four with respect to such fiscal year, other than 7 allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(a) hereof. c. Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treas, Reg. Section 1.704 1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article Four have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.03(c) were not in the Agreement. d. Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest has a deficit capital account at the end of any Partnership fiscal year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treas. Regs. Sections 1.704 2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.03(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Limited Partner or assignee or transferee of a limited partnership interest would have a deficit capital account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article Four have been tentatively made as if Section 4.03(c) above and this Section 4.03(d) were not in the Agreement. e. Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated as provided in Section 4.02(a)(ii) above. f. Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Partner or assignee or transferee of a partnership interest who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i). 8 g. Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-(b)(2)(iv)(m) requires an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) to be taken into account in determining capital accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the capital accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners and assignees or transferees of a partnership interest in a manner consistent with the manner in which their capital accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations. Section 4.04. Curative Allocations a. The "Regulatory Allocations" consist of the "Basic Regulatory Allocations," as defined in Section 4.04(b) hereof, the "Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations," as defined in Section 4.04(c) hereof, and the "Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations," as defined in Section 4.04(d) hereof. b. The "Basic Regulatory Allocations" consist of (i) allocations pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(ii) hereof, and (ii) allocations pursuant to Sections 4.03(c), 4.03(d), and 4.03(g) hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the Regulatory Allocations, the Basic Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the General Partners, Limited Partners and assignees or transferees of a partnership interest so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Basic Regulatory Allocations to each General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest if the Basic Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence, allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) shall only be made with respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(g) hereof to the extent the General Partner or General Partners reasonably determine that such allocations will otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the parties to this Agreement. c. The "Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations" consist of all allocations pursuant to Sections 4.03(a) and 4.03(e) hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the Regulatory Allocations, the Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the General Partners, Limited Partners and assignees or transferees of a partnership interest so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations to each Genera] Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership 9 interest if the Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence (i) no allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be made prior to the Partnership fiscal year during which there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and then only to the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions caused by such net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and (ii) allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(e) hereof to the extent the General Partner or General Partners reasonably determine that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(a) hereof. d. The "Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations" consist of all allocations pursuant to Sections 4.03(b) and 4.03(f) hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the Regulatory Allocations, the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the General Partners, Limited Partners and assignees or transferees of a partnership interest so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations to each General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such General Partner, Limited Partner and assignee or transferee of a partnership interest if the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocation had not occurred. For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence (i) no allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04(d) shall be made with respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(f) relating to a particular Partner Nonrecourse Debt prior to the Partnership fiscal year during which there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, and then only to the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions caused by such net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain, and (ii) allocations pursuant to this Section 4.04(d) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(f) hereof relating to a particular Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent the General Partner or General Partners reasonably determine that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 4.03(b) hereof. e. The General Partner or General Partners shall have reasonable discretion, with respect to each Partnership fiscal year, to (i) apply the provisions of Sections 4.04(b), 4.04(c) and 4.04(d) hereof in whatever order is likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Regulatory Allocations, and (ii) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 4.04(b), 4.04(c) and 4.04(d) hereof among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions. 10 Section 4.05. Effects of Varying General and Limited Partnership Interests During a Partnership Year. In the event a Partner's interest as a General or Limited Partner varies during any fiscal year of the Partnership (whether by reason of withdrawal, additional capital contributions or otherwise), Net income and Net Loss shall be computed and allocated in accordance with this Agreement as if periods between such variations were each a separate fiscal year of the Partnership. Section 4.06. Allocation of Income, Gain, Loss and Deduction; Section 704(c). Upon the sale of any property contributed by any Partner, the gain or loss represented by the difference between the adjusted basis for Federal income taxation purposes and Book Value of the property to the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partner who contributed such property, and the gain or loss in excess of that so allocated shall be allocated among the Partners as provided in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04 above. In addition, any other item of income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to such property shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 704(c) of the Code and Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), as amended from time to time. Section 4.07. Allocation of Tax Items. All items of depreciation, gain, loss, deduction or credit that are taken into account in determining Net Income or Net Loss, shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion as is provided in this Article Four. Section 4.08. Interest, Salaries or Fees Paid to Partners. Any interest paid on loans made by Partners to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and all salaries and fees paid to any Partner, if any, shall be deducted from gross income for Partnership book and tax purposes. Section 4.09. Definitions. Capitalized words and phrases used in this Article Four have the following meanings: a. Adjusted Capital Account Deficit means, with respect to any Limited Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such Limited Partner's capital account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, after giving effect to the following adjustments: i. Credit to such capital account any amounts which such Limited Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(g)(1) or would be deemed obligated to restore if Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions were treated as Nonrecourse Deductions; and ii. Debit to such capital account the items described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6). The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply with the provisions of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2) (ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 11 b. Nonrecourse Deductions has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(c). The amount of Nonrecourse Deductions for a Partnership fiscal year equals the net increase, if any, in the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain during that fiscal year, determined according to the provisions of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(c). c. Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(2). The amount of Partner Loan Nonrecourse Deductions with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt for a Partnership fiscal year equals the excess, if any, of the net increase, if any, in the amount of Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt during that fiscal year over the aggregate amount of any distributions during that fiscal year to the General Partners, Limited Partners, or assignees or transferees of a partnership interest that bear the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent such distributions are from the proceeds of such Partner Nonrecourse Debt and are allocable to an increase in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i)(2). d. Partner Minimum Gain means an amount, with respect to each Partner Nonrecourse Debt, equal to the Partnership Minimum Gain that would result if such Partner Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a nonrecourse liability (as defined in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(b)(3)), determined in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(i). e. Partner Nonrecourse Debt has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(b)(4). f. Partnership Minimum Gain has the meaning set forth in Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-2(d). g. Regulations means the regulations promulgated under the Code, as such regulations may be amended from time to time (including corresponding provisions of succeeding regulations). h. Service means the Internal Revenue Service. Section 4.10. Certain Interests of General Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, the interests of all General Partners, taken together, in each material item of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is equal to at least one percent (1%) of each such item at all times during the existence of the Partnership. In determining the General Partners' interests in such items, both the limited and general partnership units owned by the General Partners may be taken into account. 12 ARTICLE FIVE DISTRIBUTIONS Distributions by the Partnership to the Partners shall be made when and as determined by the General Partner.

First, to the payments of any debts and liabilities of the Partnership owing to persons other than any of the Partners; b. Second, to the payment of any debts and liabilities of the Partnership owing to any Partner, but in the event the amount available for such payment is insufficient to satisfy all such debts and liabilities, then to such Partners in the proportion which their respective claims bear to the claims of all such Partners; and c. Last, to the Partners in the proportion which the positive balance in each Partner's positive capital account bears to the aggregate capital account balance of all Partners at that time. 17 No Partner shall have a priority over any other Partner with respect to the distribution under subparagraph (c) above. Distributions made in accordance with this Section 8.01 shall be in full satisfaction of the Partner's claim against the Partnership for distribution and liquidation. A General Partner (but not a Limited Partner) shall be liable to restore to the Partnership any negative balance standing in such Partner's capital account, following the distributions required under this Section 8.01, which amount shall, when paid to the Partnership, be distributed by the Partners to the creditors of the Partnership, or to the other Partners in accordance with this Section 8.01. The Partner restoring any such negative balance shall be required to do so at a time not later than the latest permissible time permitted under Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii). In making distributions to the Partners, the positive capital account balances of the Partners shall be determined after taking into account all capital account adjustments required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2). Section 8.02. Events Causing Dissolution. The following events shall cause the dissolution of the Partnership: a. Upon the mutual consent in writing executed by all Partners; b.

Upon the withdrawal of a General Partner at a time when there is no other General Partner (except to the extent as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement); d. Upon the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under the Act; or e. Upon the failure of a new General Partner to qualify under the provisions of Section 8.04 below. Section 8.03. Agreement in Event of Dissolution by Act or Event Relating to Less Than All Partners. If the act of, or an event relating to, less than all Partners (the "Dissolving Partners"), including, without limitation, the withdrawal of a General Partner, shall for any purpose be considered an event of dissolution of the Partnership, then the remaining Partners shall enter into a new partnership upon the terms and conditions set forth above and upon the same terms and conditions governing the present Partnership, and each party to this Agreement hereby agrees for himself, his executor, administrator, heirs and assigns to enter into such new partnership and to execute any and all instruments necessary therefor. The act or event relating to the Dissolving Partners shall be treated as a notice of withdrawal by the Dissolving Partners of the entire capital account or capital accounts of the Dissolving Partners. 18 Section 8.04. Designation of a General Partner. Upon the withdrawal of Radio One, Inc. as a General Partner or upon the withdrawal of the last General Partner who may have been designated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.04, the Partnership shall continue for a period not exceeding ninety (90) days immediately following the withdrawal of the last General Partner. During such time, the Partners holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of capital units held by all Partners at that time shall designate a person or other legal entity as a new General Partner and such designee shall become a new General Partner by accepting such designation in writing and assuming the obligations of the last General Partner under this Agreement. In the event a new General Partner is not qualified within the time prescribed, then at the expiration of such period the Partnership shall dissolve and the affairs of the Partnership wound up and the property of the Partnership distributed as provided in this Article Eight. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if the withdrawal of any General Partner shall for any purpose be considered as a dissolution of the Partnership, then the provisions set forth in this Section 8.04 shall be construed as an agreement to enter into a new partnership upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and each party to this Agreement hereby agrees for himself, his executor, administrator, heirs and assigns to enter into such new partnership and to execute any and all instruments necessary therefor. Section 8.05. Bankruptcy, Incompetency or Death of a Limited Partner. Upon the bankruptcy of a Limited Partner, then the trustee of such bankrupt Limited Partner shall be considered an assignee of such Limited Partner's interest in this Partnership and such trustee shall be entitled only to the rights and benefits not inconsistent with this Agreement as are presently provided under Delaware State Law for a creditor of a person having a partnership interest. Section 8.06. Time to Dissolve. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Partnership and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to minimize the normal losses attendant upon such liquidation. Each of the Partners during the course of winding up the Partnership affairs and dissolution shall be furnished with a statement prepared by the General Partners which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Partnership as of the date of the termination of the Partnership. Section 8.07. Date of Termination. The Partnership shall be terminated when all of its assets have been applied and distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01 above. The establishment of any reserves for the payment of any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership shall not have the effect of extending the term of the Partnership, and such reserve shall be applied and distributed in the manner otherwise provided in Section 8.01 above upon the expiration of the period of such reserve. Upon the termination of the Partnership, there shall be recorded a Certificate of Cancellation of the Partnership. 19 Section 8.08. Contingent Liabilities. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, upon the dissolution of the Partnership each General Partner shall continue to be personally liable for the liabilities of the Partnership (absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether or not known at the time of dissolution) which become payable subsequent to the date of dissolution arising out of events occurring prior to the date of dissolution. Each General Partner shall be responsible for the proportion of such liability as such General Partner was liable prior to the dissolution of the Partnership in accordance with Section 3.03 above. Each General Partner shall, if necessary, pay to the other General Partners any amounts as are necessary to insure that the terms of this Section are made fully effective. ARTICLE NINE AMENDMENT AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT This Agreement shall not be amended, altered, changed or added to except by a written instrument executed by all Partners as of the time of such alteration or amendment.

Section 7.03. Indemnification as of Right for Expenses.

Any indemnification under Sections 7.01 and 7.02 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.02. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders.

Expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt or undertaking by on or behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article Seven. Such expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate. -10- Section 7.06. Article Seven Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article Seven shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Section 7.07. Insurance. The corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article Seven. Section 7.08. Definition of "the Corporation". For the purposes of this Article Seven, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence has continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under this Article Seven with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Section 7.10. Continuation. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article Seven shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date to be fixed by the Board of Directors or the President (which date shall not be a legal holiday in the place where the meeting is to be held ) at the time and place to be fixed by the Board of Directors or the President and stated in the notice of the meeting. If no annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Board of Directors shall cause the meeting to be held as soon thereafter as convenient. If no annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, a special meeting may be held in lieu of the annual meeting, and any action taken at that special meeting shall have the same effect as if it had been taken at the annual meeting, and in such case all references in these By-laws to the annual meeting of the stockholders shall be deemed to refer to such special meeting. 1.3 Special Meetings.

Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held.

It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment of less than thirty (30) days if the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which adjournment is taken, unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. 1.8 Voting and Proxies. Each stockholder shall have one (1) vote for each share of stock entitled to vote held of record by such stockholder and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation.

The number of directors may be decreased at any time and from time to time either by the stockholders or by a majority of the directors then in office, but only to eliminate vacancies existing by reason of the death, resignation, removal or expiration of the term of one (1) or more directors. Each director shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders by such 3 stockholders as have the right to vote on such election.

Unless and until filled by the stockholders, any vacancy in the Board of Directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the Board, may be filled by vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office, and a director chosen to fill a position resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. 2.6 Resignation.

Directors or any members of any committee designated by the directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. 2.11 Quorum. A majority of the total number of the whole Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Board of Directors. In the event one (1) or more of the directors shall be disqualified to vote at any meeting, then the required quorum shall be reduced by one (1) for each such director so disqualified; provided, however, that in no case shall less than one-third (1/3) of the number so fixed constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. 2.12 Action at Meeting.

Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, any one (1) or more or all of the directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, except that the directors elected by the holders of a particular class or series of stock may be removed without cause only by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series. 2.15 Committees.

Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or a subsidiary thereof or is or was serving at theft request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, member or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, partner, member or trustee or in any other capacity while so serving, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereinafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the right to indemnification shall be retroactive only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law prior to such amendment permitted the Corporation to provide), against all expense, liability, and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and related disbursements, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement thereof) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, partner, member or trustee and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 5.9 of this Article 5 with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 5.8 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, 12 that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law so requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 5.8 or otherwise. Such right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of the final disposition may be conferred upon any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or a subsidiary thereof or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, if, and to the extent, authorized by the By-laws or the Board of Directors, and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. 5.9 Right of Action. If a claim under Section 5.8 of this Article 5 is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including, without limitation, its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including without limitation, its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 5.10 Indemnification Not Exclusive. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article 5 shall not be exclusive of any other right to which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute or provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws or by agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. 13 5.11 Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability, or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the statute. 5.12 Repeal or Modification. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article 5 shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. 5.13 Effect of Invalidity. If this Article 5 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director or officer of the Corporation as to any expense (including attorneys' fees), judgment, fine and amount paid in settlement with respect to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article 5 that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law. ARTICLE 6 - Amendments 6.1 By the Board of Directors. These By-laws may be altered, amended or repealed or new By-laws may be adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors. 6.2 By the Stockholders. These By-laws may be altered, amended or repealed or new By-laws may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at any regular meeting of stockholders, or at any special meeting of stockholders, provided notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new bylaws shall have been stated in the notice of such special meeting. 14

We have assumed that all signatures are genuine, that all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, that all copies of documents submitted to us conform to the originals, and that the Exchange Notes have been duly authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture governing the Exchange Notes. We have assumed further that the Issuer and the Guarantors are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state in which each is organized and that each has the requisite power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform the Exchange Notes and Guarantees, as applicable. We have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Issuer and the Guarantors, and other sources believed by us to be responsible. Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that when the Registration Statement has become effective and the Exchange Notes have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the Indenture and have been duly issued and delivered by the Issuer in exchange for $200,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 6 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 previously issued by the Issuer, all in accordance with the exchange offer contemplated by the Registration Statement, and assuming compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Notes will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantees will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors, COVINGTON & BURLING Page 2 in each case enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles. The foregoing opinion is subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to (i) waivers of defenses or statutory or constitutional rights or waivers of unmatured claims or rights, (ii) rights to indemnification, contribution or exculpation to the extent that they purport to indemnify any party against, or release or limit any party's liability for, its own breach or failure to comply with statutory obligations, or to the extent such provisions are contrary to public policy, or (iii) rights to collection or liquidated damages or penalties on overdue or defaulted obligations. We are members of the bar of the State of New York. We do not express any opinion herein on any laws other than the law of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Federal law of the United States of America. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.

The Issuer has agreed that, subject to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Participating Broker-Dealer (as defined below) in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes, where such Original Notes were acquired by such Participating Broker-Dealer for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, for a period ending 180 days following the consummation of the Exchange Offer (subject to extension under certain limited circumstances described in the Prospectus) or, if earlier, when all such Exchange Notes have been disposed of by such Participating Broker-Dealer. In that regard, each broker-dealer who acquired Original Notes for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a "Participating Broker-Dealer"), by tendering such Original Notes and executing this Letter of Transmittal or effecting delivery of an Agent's Message in lieu thereof, agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Issuer of the occurrence of any event or the discovery of any fact which makes any statement contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which causes the Prospectus to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained or incorporated by reference therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or of the occurrence of certain other events specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, such Participating Broker-Dealer will suspend the sale of Exchange Notes pursuant to the Prospectus until the Issuer has amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission and has furnished copies of the amended or supplemented Prospectus to the Participating Broker-Dealer or the Issuer has given notice that the sale of the Exchange Notes may be resumed, as the case may be. If the Issuer gives such notice to suspend the sale of the Exchange Notes, it shall extend the 180-day period referred to above during which Participating Broker-Dealers are entitled to use the Prospectus in connection with the resale of Exchange Notes by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when Participating Broker-Dealers shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to permit resales of the Exchange Notes or to and including the date on which the Issuer has given notice that the sale of Exchange Notes may be resumed, as the case may be. As a result, a Participating Broker-Dealer who intends to use the Prospectus in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer must notify the Issuer, or cause the Issuer to be notified, on or prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer, that it is a Participating Broker-Dealer. Such notice may be given in the space provided above or may be delivered to the Exchange Agent at the address set forth in the Prospectus under "The Exchange Offer--Exchange Agent." The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Issuer to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Original Notes tendered hereby.

If any tendered Original Notes are registered in different name(s) on several Certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal (or facsimiles thereof) as there are different registrations of Certificates. If this Letter of Transmittal or any Certificates or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and, unless waived by the Issuer, must submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, in their sole discretion, of each such person's authority to so act. - 9 - When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the Original Notes listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsement(s) of Certificate(s) or separate bond power(s) is required unless Exchange Notes are to be issued in the name of a person other than the registered Holder(s). Signatures on such Certificate(s) or bond power(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

Certificates for Original Notes not exchanged will be returned by mail or, if tendered by book-entry transfer, by crediting the account indicated above maintained at DTC. See Instruction 4. 7. IRREGULARITIES. The Issuer will determine, in its sole discretion, all questions as to the form of documents, validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of any tender of Original Notes, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties. The Issuer reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders determined by it not to be in proper form or the acceptance of which, or exchange for which, may, in the view of counsel to the Issuer, be unlawful. The Issuer also reserves the absolute right, subject to applicable law, to waive any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer set forth in the Prospectus under "The Exchange Offer--Conditions to the Exchange Offer" or any conditions or irregularities in any tender of Original Notes of any particular Holder whether or not similar conditions or irregularities are waived in the case of other holders. The Issuer's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including this Letter of Transmittal and the instructions hereto) will be final and binding. No tender of Original Notes will be deemed to have been validly made until all irregularities with respect to such tender have been cured or waived. Neither the Issuer, any affiliates or assigns of the Issuer, the Exchange Agent, nor any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of any irregularities in tenders or incur any liability for failure to give such notification. 8. QUESTIONS, REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE AND ADDITIONAL COPIES. Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to the Exchange Agent at its address and telephone number set forth on the front of this Letter of Transmittal. Additional copies of the Prospectus, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and the Letter of Transmittal may be obtained from the Exchange Agent or from your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. 9. TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING. Under U.S. federal income tax law, a Holder whose tendered Original Notes are accepted for exchange is required to (i) provide the Exchange Agent with such Holder's (or such Holder's assignee's) correct taxpayer identification number ("TIN") on Substitute Form W-9 or (ii) establish another basis for exemption from backup withholding. For this purpose, a Holder's assignee is also referred to as a "Holder." A tendering Holder must cross out item (2) in the certification box on Substitute Form W-9 if such Holder is subject to backup withholding. Failure to provide the information on the Substitute Form W-9 may subject the tendering Holder to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and a federal income tax backup withholding (currently 28%) on any payment made on account of the Exchange Offer or the Exchange Notes (including interest). More serious penalties may be imposed for providing false information, which, if willfully done, may result in fines and/or imprisonment. To prevent backup withholding, each Holder must provide the Exchange Agent with such Holder's correct TIN by completing the Substitute Form W-9 accompanying this Letter of Transmittal certifying, under penalty of perjury, that such TIN is correct, such Holder is not currently subject to backup withholding and such payee is a United States person. The box in Part 1 of the Substitute Form W-9 may be checked if the tendering Holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future. If the box in Part 1 is checked, the Holder or other payee must also complete the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number below in order to avoid backup withholding. Notwithstanding that the box in Part 1 is checked and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number is completed, the Issuer or the Exchange Agent will withhold a percentage (currently 28%) of all payments made prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Issuer or the Exchange Agent. - 10 - The Holder is required to give the Exchange Agent the TIN of the registered owner of the Original Notes or of the last transferee appearing on the transfers attached to, or endorsed on, the Original Notes. If the Original Notes are registered in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed "Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9" for additional guidance on which number to report. Certain holders (including, among others, corporations, financial institutions and certain foreign persons) may not be subject to the backup withholding and reporting requirements. Such holders should nevertheless complete the attached Substitute Form W-9 below, and check the box marked "exempt" in part 2, to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding. A foreign person may qualify as an exempt recipient by submitting a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that Holder's exempt status. Please consult the enclosed "Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9" for additional guidance on which holders are exempt from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional U.S. federal income tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM BACKUP WITHHOLDING. 10. WAIVER OF CONDITIONS. The Issuer reserves the absolute right to waive satisfaction of any or all conditions enumerated in the Prospectus. 11. NO CONDITIONAL TENDERS. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering holders of Original Notes, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of Original Notes for exchange. Neither the Issuer, the Exchange Agent nor any other person is obligated to give notice of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of Original Notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice. 12. LOST, DESTROYED OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. If any Certificate(s) representing Original Notes have been lost, destroyed or stolen, the Holder should promptly notify the Exchange Agent. The Holder will then be instructed as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the Certificate(s). This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost, destroyed or stolen Certificate(s) have been followed. 13. SECURITY TRANSFER TAXES. Holders who tender their Original Notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection therewith. If, however, Exchange Notes are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered Holder of the Original Notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Original Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer, then the amount of any such transfer tax (whether imposed on the registered Holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering Holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering Holder. - 11 - SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 REQUEST FOR TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND CERTIFICATION PAYOR'S NAME: [THE BANK OF NEW YORK] PAYEE INFORMATION (Please print or type) Individual or business name (if joint account list first and circle the name of person or entity whose number you furnish in Part 1 below): ________________________________________________________________________________ Check appropriate box: [ ] Individual/Sole proprietor [ ] Corporation [ ] Partnership [ ] Other ________________________________________________________________________________ ADDRESS (NUMBER, STREETS AND APT.
