RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:


*(a)*	*Organization and Business*

Radio One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as “Radio One”) and subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) were organized to acquire, operate and maintain radio broadcasting stations and other media properties. The Company owns and/or operates 69 radio stations in 22 markets throughout the United States. In July 2003, the Company entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors to create TV One, LLC (“TV One”), an entity formed to operate a cable television network featuring lifestyle, entertainment, and news-related programming targeted primarily towards African-American viewers. In February 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach Media”) for approximately $55.8 million in a combination of approximately $30.4 million of cash and 1,809,648 shares of the Company’s Class D common stock.

The Company’s operating results are significantly affected by its share of the audience in markets where it owns and/or operates stations. To increase its share, the Company has made and may continue to make significant acquisitions of and investments in radio stations and other media properties, which may require it to incur additional debt. The service of this debt will require the Company to make significant debt service payments.


*(b)*	*Basis of Presentation*

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio One, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current presentation.


*(c)*	*Interim Financial Statements*

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein for Radio One and subsidiaries have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, the interim financial data presented herein include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2004 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/ A.


*(d)*	*Financial Instruments*

Financial instruments as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 consist of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable (which are included in

RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

other current assets), accounts payable, accrued expenses, long-term debt and subscriptions receivable. The carrying amounts approximate fair value for each of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, except for the Company’s outstanding senior subordinated notes. The 8⁷/8% senior subordinated notes had a fair value of approximately $321.8 million and $334.1 million as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. In February 2005, the Company completed the private placement of $200.0 million 6³/8% senior subordinated notes. The 6³/8% senior subordinated notes had a fair value of approximately $196.5 million as of June 30, 2005. The fair value was determined based on the fair market value of similar instruments.


*(e)*	*Revenue Recognition*

The Company recognizes revenue for broadcast advertising when the commercial is broadcast and is reported net of agency commissions in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition, Revised and Updated.” Agency commissions, when applicable, are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing. Generally, clients remit the gross billing amount to the agency and the agency remits the gross billing, less their commission, to the Company. Agency commissions were approximately $13.0 million and $12.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Agency commissions were $23.1 million and $21.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.


*(f)*	*Stock-Based Compensation*

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based upon the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price.

At June 30, 2005, the Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25 and related interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation:

*(g)*	*Comprehensive Income*

The Company’s comprehensive income consists of net income and other items recorded directly to the equity accounts. The objective is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events during the period, other than transactions with owners. The Company’s other comprehensive income consists principally of gains and losses on derivative instruments that qualify for cash flow hedge treatment.

The following table sets forth the components of comprehensive income:


		Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
		June 30,					June 30,

		2005			2004		2005			2004

					(In thousands)
Net income		$	19,844		$	17,459	$	29,532		$	26,250
Other comprehensive income (loss), (net of tax provision of $260, tax benefit of $174, tax provision of $732, and tax provision of $208, respectively):
	Derivative and hedging activities		(1,191	)		2,547		(437	)		1,937

Comprehensive income		$	18,653		$	20,006	$	29,095		$	28,187


*(h)*	*Net Income Applicable to Common Stockholders*

The net income applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (defined as net income less dividends on the Company’s preferred stock) was approximately $19.8 million and $12.4 million, respectively. The net income applicable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $26.8 million and $16.2 million, respectively.


*(i)*	*Earnings Per Share*

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and diluted common equivalent shares for stock options and warrants outstanding during the period the calculation is made, divided into the net income applicable to common stockholders. Diluted common equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method.

2.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) sets accounting requirements for “share-based” compensation to employees, including employee stock purchase plans. The statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. Disclosure of the effect of expensing the fair value of equity compensation is currently required under existing literature. The statement also requires the tax benefit associated with these share based payments be classified as financing activities in the Statement of Cash Flows rather than operating activities as currently permitted. The SEC delayed the required implementation date for this statement from the third quarter of 2005 to the beginning of the 2006 fiscal year. The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to compute the fair value of its stock options in connection with its disclosure of the pro forma effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if compensation cost had been recognized for such options at the date of grant. However, a number of technical implementation issues have not yet been resolved, including the selection and use of an appropriate valuation model, and therefore, the Company has not yet determined the ultimate impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).


3.	ACQUISITIONS:

In February 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media for approximately $55.8 million in a combination of approximately $30.4 million of cash and 1,809,648 shares of the Company’s Class D common stock. Reach Media commenced operations in 2003 and was formed by Tom Joyner, Chairman, and David Kantor, Chief Executive Officer, to operate the Tom Joyner Morning Show and related businesses. Reach Media primarily derives its revenue from the sale of advertising inventory in connection with its syndication agreements. Mr. Joyner is a leading nationally syndicated radio personality. The Tom Joyner Morning Show is broadcast on over 115 affiliate stations across the United States and is a top-rated morning show in many of the markets in which it is broadcast. Reach Media also operates the Tom Joyner Sky Show, the Tom Joyner Family Reunion and various other special event-related activities. Additionally, Reach Media operates BlackAmericaWeb.com, an African-American targeted internet destination, and airs a television program on TV One. The Company allocated approximately $1.2 million of the purchase price to net working capital balances and the remaining amount to other intangible assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2005, pending completion of the purchase price allocation.

In November 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of WABZ-FM, a radio station located in the Charlotte metropolitan area. Upon completing the acquisition, the Company consolidated the station with its existing Charlotte operations, changed the call sign to WPZS-FM and reformatted the station. The total acquisition price was approximately $11.5 million in cash. The Company initially allocated the full value of the purchase price to radio broadcasting licenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004. Upon completion of this purchase price allocation in February 2005, the allocation was adjusted and approximately $11.4 million and $76,000 was assigned to radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill, respectively.

In October 2004, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of New Mableton Broadcasting Corporation (“NMBC”), which owned WAMJ-FM, a radio station located in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The Company had operated WAMJ-FM under a local marketing agreement (“LMA”) since August 2001. New Mableton Broadcasting Corporation’s majority shareholder was an entity controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. The total acquisition price was approximately

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

$35.0 million in cash. The Company initially allocated the full value of the purchase price to radio broadcasting licenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2005. Upon completion of this purchase price allocation in April 2005, the allocation was adjusted and approximately $32.0 million was assigned to radio broadcasting licenses, approximately $2.0 million was assigned to goodwill, and $872,000 was assigned to other assets.

In February 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of WSNJ-FM, a radio station located in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Upon receiving the necessary regulatory approvals, the Company consolidated the station with its existing Philadelphia operations, changed the call sign to WRNB-FM and reformatted the station. The acquisition price was approximately $35.0 million in cash. The Company initially allocated the full value of the purchase price to radio broadcasting licenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004. Upon completion of the purchase price allocation in January 2005, the allocation was adjusted and approximately $34.9 million and $54,000 was assigned to radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill, respectively.


4.	INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED COMPANY:

In July 2003, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors to create TV One, an entity formed to operate a cable television network featuring lifestyle, entertainment and news-related programming targeted primarily towards African-American viewers. The Company has committed to make a cumulative cash investment of $74.0 million in TV One over approximately four years, of which the Company has already funded $37.0 million. In December 2004, TV One entered into a distribution agreement with DIRECTV, Inc. (“DIRECTV”) and certain affiliates of DIRECTV became investors in TV One. As of June 30, 2005, the Company owned approximately 36% of TV One on a fully converted basis.

The Company has recorded its investment at cost and has adjusted the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the change in the Company’s claim on the net assets of TV One resulting from losses of TV One as well as other capital transactions of TV One using a hypothetical liquidation at book value approach. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company’s allocable share of TV One’s losses was $304,000 and approximately $1.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company’s allocable share of TV One’s losses was $763,000 and approximately $3.8 million, respectively. Under the hypothetical liquidation at book value approach, the decrease in the Company’s claim on the change in net assets of TV One resulting from additional equity contributed to TV One by investors, resulted in an insignificant decrease to additional paid-in capital of the Company in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51, “Accounting for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary.”

The Company also entered into separate network services and advertising services agreements with TV One in 2003. Under the network services agreement, which expires in January 2009, the Company is providing TV One with administrative and operational support services and access to Company personalities. Under the advertising services agreement, the Company is providing a specified amount of advertising to TV One over a term of five years ending in January 2009. In consideration of providing these services, the Company has received equity in TV One, and receives an annual fee of $500,000 in cash for providing services under the network services agreement.

The Company is accounting for these services transactions in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, Issue No. 00-8, “Accounting by a Grantee for an Equity Instrument to Be Received in Conjunction with Providing Goods or Services.” As these services are provided to TV One, the Company is recording revenue based on the fair value of the most reliable unit of measurement in these transactions. For the advertising services agreement, this has been determined to be the value of underlying advertising time that is being provided to TV One. For the network services agreement, this has been determined to be the

RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

initial value of the equity received in TV One. As a result, the Company is re-measuring the fair value of the equity received to complete its obligations under the network services agreement in each subsequent reporting period as the services are provided. The Company recognized $674,000 and $423,000 of revenue relating to these two agreements for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company recognized approximately $1.3 million and $1.5 million of revenue relating to these two agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

	*Bank Credit Facilities*

In June 2005, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The term of the Credit Agreement is seven years and the total amount available under the Credit Agreement is $800.0 million, consisting of a $500.0 million revolving facility and a $300.0 million term loan facility. Borrowings under the bank credit facilities are subject to compliance with provisions of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to financial covenants. The Company may use proceeds from the bank credit facilities for working capital, capital expenditures made in the ordinary course of business and other lawful corporate purposes, for its common stock repurchase program, and for direct and indirect investments permitted under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that the Company must comply with, including (a) maintaining a ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of no less than 2.50 to 1.00, (b) maintaining a ratio of consolidated debt for borrowed money to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of, no greater than 6.50 to 1.00 from June 13, 2005 to September 30, 2006, and no greater than 6.00 to 1.00

from October 1, 2006 and thereafter, (c) limitations on liens, (d) limitations on the sale of assets, (e) limitations on the payment of dividends, and (f) limitations on mergers, as well as other customary covenants. Simultaneous with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $437.5 million under the Credit Agreement to retire all outstanding obligations under its previous credit agreement, dated as of July 17, 2000. The previous credit agreement provided for borrowings of up to $600.0 million, and consisted of a $350.0 million term facility and a $250.0 million revolving facility.

The Credit Agreement, and the indentures governing the Company’s senior subordinated notes, contain covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional debt, purchase capital stock, make capital expenditures, make investments or other restricted payments, swap or sell assets, engage in transactions with related parties, secure non-senior debt with assets, or merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets.

6.	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

On May 25, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $150.0 million of the Company’s Class A and Class D common stock over a period of 18 months, with the amount and timing of repurchases based on stock price, general economic and market conditions, certain restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement, the indentures governing the Company’s senior subordinated debt, and certain other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any of its common stock and may be discontinued or suspended at any time.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, 137,100 shares of Class A and 988,800 shares of Class D common stock were repurchased at an average price of $13.15 and $13.17, respectively.

In February 2005, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding 6¹/2% Convertible Preferred Remarketable Term Income Deferrable Equity Securities (“HIGH TIDES”) in the aggregate sum of approximately $309.8 million. This redemption was financed with the net proceeds of the sale of the Company’s 6³/8% senior subordinated notes due 2013, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and available excess cash.


7.	INCOME TAXES:

On June 30, 2005, the state of Ohio enacted a law that will phase-out the Corporation Franchise Tax and phase-in a Commercial Activity Tax. The Commercial Activity Tax is based on gross receipts. Temporary differences reversing after the phase-in period of the gross receipts based tax will no longer impact the Company’s income tax provision. The Company has determined the likelihood of a reversal of the temporary differences within the five year period of the phase-out is unlikely, as these temporary items

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

have indefinite lives. Therefore, the Company reduced its deferred tax liability and recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.


8.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Three officers of the Company, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and the Chief Administrative Officer (“CAO”), purchased 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class D common stock, 333,334 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and 666,666 of the Company’s Class D common stock, and 250,000 shares of the Company’s Class D common stock, respectively.

All shares transferred to the Company in satisfaction of these loans have been retired by the Company.

In October 2004, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of NMBC, which owned WAMJ-FM, a radio station licensed to the Atlanta metropolitan area. The total acquisition price was approximately $35.0 million in cash, of which approximately $10.0 million was paid in available cash and $25.0 million was paid through borrowings under the Company’s bank credit facility. Prior to the acquisition, Mableton Investment Group, LLC (“MIG”) was NMBC’s majority shareholder. Alfred C. Liggins, III, the Company’s CEO, was the sole member and manager of MIG. Until February 2003, Syndicated Communications Venture Partners II, LP was also a member of MIG. Terry L. Jones, a general partner of Syndicated Communications Venture Partners II, LP is a member of the Company’s board of directors. The terms of the NMBC acquisition were approved by an independent committee of the Company’s board of directors and a fairness opinion was obtained from an independent third party. Prior to acquiring NMBC, the Company programmed and provided marketing services to WAMJ-FM through an LMA with MIG. Total fees paid under the LMA were $0 and $43,000, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004.

three months ended June 30, 2004. Total rent paid to the partnership was $119,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004.


9.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Item 2.	*Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*

The following information should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report and the audited financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/ A for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Introduction


	*Revenue*

We primarily derive revenue from the sale of advertising time and program sponsorships to local and national advertisers. Advertising revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates our radio stations are able to charge as well as the overall demand for radio advertising time in a market. These rates are largely based upon a radio station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers, the number of radio stations in the related market, and the supply of and demand for radio advertising time. Advertising rates are generally highest during morning and afternoon commuting hours.

On February 28, 2005, we acquired 51% of the common stock of Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach Media”). Reach Media primarily derives revenue from the sale of advertising time on the affiliate stations which broadcast the Tom Joyner Morning Show. The affiliate radio stations provide Reach Media with advertising inventory on their stations which is then sold to the marketplace through a sales representative agreement with ABC Radio Networks. ABC Radio Networks guarantees Reach Media an agreed upon amount of annual revenue with the potential to earn additional amounts if certain revenue goals are met. The agreement with ABC Radio Networks runs through 2009. Additional revenue is generated by Reach Media from special events, sponsorships, its internet business and other related activities.

Approximately 65% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 33% was generated from national spot advertising, including network advertising, during the three months ended June 30, 2005. In comparison, approximately 71% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 27% was generated from national spot advertising, including network advertising, during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Approximately 67% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 30% was generated from national spot advertising, including network advertising, during the six months ended June 30, 2005. In comparison, approximately 70% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 27% was generated from national spot advertising, including network advertising, during the six months ended June 30, 2004. The balance of revenue was generated primarily from tower rental income, ticket sales and revenue related to our sponsored events, management fees and other revenue.

In the broadcasting industry, radio stations often utilize trade or barter agreements to reduce cash expenses by exchanging advertising time for goods or services. In order to maximize cash revenue for our spot inventory, we monitor and limit the use of trade agreements.


	*Expenses*

Our significant broadcast expenses are (i) employee salaries and commissions, (ii) programming expenses, (iii) advertising and promotion expenses, (iv) rental of premises for studios, (v) rental of transmission tower space and (vi) music license royalty fees. We strive to control these expenses by centralizing certain functions such as finance, accounting, legal, human resources, management information systems, and the overall programming management function. We also use our multiple stations, market presence and purchasing power to negotiate favorable rates with certain vendors and national representative selling agencies.

We generally incur advertising and promotional expenses to increase our audiences. However, because Arbitron reports ratings quarterly, any changed ratings and therefore the effect on advertising revenue, tends to lag behind the incurrence of advertising and promotional expenditures.


	*Measurement of Performance*

We monitor the growth and operational results of our business using net income and the following key metrics:


	(a) Net broadcast revenue: The performance of an individual radio station or group of radio stations in a particular market is customarily measured by its ability to generate net broadcast revenue. Net broadcast revenue consists of gross broadcast revenue net of local and national agency commissions, consistent with industry practice. Net broadcast revenue is recognized in the period in which advertisements are broadcast. Net broadcast revenue also includes advertising aired in exchange for goods and services, which is recorded at fair value.

	(b) Station operating income: Net income before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest income, interest expense, equity in net loss of affiliated company, minority interest in income of subsidiary, other expense, corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation and non-cash compensation expenses is commonly referred to in our industry 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 company’s 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 taxes provision, 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.

	(c) Station operating income margin: Station operating income margin represents station operating income as a percentage of net broadcast revenue. Station operating income margin is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. 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.

	(d) EBITDA: Net income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our industry 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 company’s 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 and interest expense that have resulted from our acquisitions and debt financings, and our provision for tax expense. 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.

	Net broadcast revenue


Three Months Ended
June 30,

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

	$101,525	$	86,210	$	15,315	17.8	%

During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we recognized approximately $101.5 million in net broadcast revenue compared to $86.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004. These amounts are net of agency commissions, which were approximately $13.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to approximately $12.1 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in net broadcast revenue was due primarily to our consolidation of the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, increased pricing for advertising on our stations that resulted from improvement in the general economy, increased listenership and ratings, and revenue from three new stations launched in late 2004. The revenue growth in many of our markets, including, Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, Dallas,

Houston, Indianapolis, Raleigh and Washington, DC, was partially offset by revenue declines in some of our other markets, including Philadelphia and St. Louis due to format changes, Los Angeles due to soft ratings, and Baltimore and Detroit due to general market conditions. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, our net broadcast revenue increased 7.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Three Months Ended
June 30,

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

Programming and technical expenses include expenses associated with on-air talent and the management and maintenance of the systems, tower facilities, and studios used in the creation, distribution and broadcast of programming on our radio stations. Programming and technical expenses also include expenses associated with our research activities and music royalties. The increase in programming and technical expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2005 resulted primarily from our consolidation of the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, and to a lesser extent, an increase in programming expenses relating to our on-air talent, music royalties, incremental costs relating to expanding our presence on the Internet and three new stations launched in late of 2004. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, programming and technical expenses increased 3.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Three Months Ended
June 30,

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

	$28,404		$24,791	$3,613	14.6	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with our sales departments, offices, facilities and headcount (outside of our corporate headquarters), marketing expenses, back office expenses, and the advertising traffic (scheduling and insertion) functions. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2005 resulted primarily from our consolidation of the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media. The increase also resulted from higher compensation (mainly commissions and national rep fees) and other selling expenses driven by increased revenue, and sales expenses associated with three new stations launched in late 2004. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 6.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

	$5,552		$3,716	$1,836	49.4	%

Corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation consist of expenses associated with maintaining Radio One’s and Reach Media’s corporate headquarters and facilities, including headcount. The increase in corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation during the three months ended June 30, 2005, resulted primarily from our consolidation of the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, increased compensation, and additional professional fees. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation increased 14.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.


	*Non-cash compensation*


Three Months Ended
June 30,

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

	$502		$594	$(92)	(15.5	)%

During the three months ended June 30, 2004, we issued restricted stock to certain on-air talent, some of which vested immediately.

	*Depreciation and amortization*


Three Months Ended
June 30,

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

	$3,150		$4,561	$(1,411)	(30.9	)%

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was due primarily to the completion of amortization of some of our trade names in late 2004, partially offset by depreciation for our additional capital expenditures made since the second quarter of 2004. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, depreciation and amortization expense decreased 31.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.


	*Interest income*


Three Months Ended
June 30,

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

	$271		$585	$(314)	(53.7	)%

The decrease in interest income resulted primarily from lower average balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and the pay-off of certain officer loans during the three months ended March 31, 2005.


	*Interest expense*


Three Months Ended
June 30,

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

	$17,240		$9,748	$7,492	76.9	%

The increase in interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2005, resulted from the write-off of approximately $2.1 million of deferred financing costs associated with the June 2005 refinancing of our bank credit facilities. The refinancing consisted of entering into a $800.0 million credit agreement, and the simultaneous borrowing of $437.5 million to retire our previous bank credit facilities. The increase in interest expense also resulted from additional interest obligations incurred from borrowings to partially fund the February 2005 redemption of our Convertible Preferred Remarketable Term Income Deferrable Equity Securities (“HIGH TIDES”) for approximately $309.8 million, and the acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media. The redemption of the outstanding HIGH TIDES was funded with the issuance of $200.0 million 6³/8% senior subordinated notes and $110.0 million borrowed under our previous revolving credit facility. The acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media was partially funded with $25.0 million borrowed under our previous revolving credit facility.

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

	$304		$1,431	$(1,127)	(78.8	)%

In July 2003, we entered into a joint venture agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and certain other investors to form TV One for the purpose of distributing a new cable television programming service. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for further discussion. In December 2004, we modified our methodology for estimating our equity in the net loss of TV One. As a result of this modification, we recognized a net loss of $304,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to a net loss of approximately $1.4 million in for the three months ended June 30, 2004.


	*Provision for income taxes*


Three Months Ended
June 30,

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

	$8,525		$11,162	$(2,637)	(23.6	)%

The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily due to a favorable change to Ohio state tax laws enacted on June 30, 2005. The decrease was partially offset by our consolidation of the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, an increase in the reserve for contingencies, and an increase in our effective tax rate due to permanent differences between income subject to income tax for book versus tax purposes. Excluding the increase in the reserve for contingencies, and the decrease in the provision due to the to the Ohio tax law change, our effective tax rate as of June 30, 2005 was 40.2%, compared to 39.2% as of June 30, 2004. The effective tax rate as of June 30, 2005 does not reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123(R), given we have not yet adopted this pronouncement. Excluding the 2005 second quarter operating results of Reach Media, the provision for income taxes decreased 29.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2005., compared to the same period in 2004.

Three Months Ended
June 30,

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

	$19,844		$17,459	$2,385	13.7	%

As described above, the increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005, is primarily a result of approximately $7.0 million in increased operating income, and a decrease in the equity in net loss of affiliated company of approximately $1.1 million, offset by an increase in net interest expense of approximately $7.8 million, a decrease in the provision for income taxes of approximately $2.6 million, and an increase in minority interest in income of subsidiary of $518,000.

Three Months Ended
June 30,

2005		2004		Increase/(Decrease)

	$19,844		$12,424	$7,420	59.7	%

Net income applicable to common stockholders is defined as, net income less dividends on our outstanding HIGH TIDES. The increase in net income applicable to common stockholders during the three months ended June 30, 2005, was attributable to an increase in net income of approximately $2.4 million and the elimination of preferred stock dividends of approximately $5.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005.

The minority interest in income of subsidiary of $625,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $0 for the same period in 2004, reflects the 49% minority stockholders’ interest in Reach Media’s March through June 2005 net income.

As described above, the increase in net income during the six months ended June 30, 2005 is primarily a result of approximately $10.3 million in increased operating income, and a decrease of approximately $3.0 million in equity in net loss of affiliated company, offset by an increase in net interest expense of approximately $10.5 million, a decrease in the provision for income taxes of approximately $1.2, and an increase in minority interest in income of subsidiary of $625,000.

	$26,771		$16,180	$10,591	65.5	%

Net income applicable to common stockholders is defined as net income less dividends on our outstanding HIGH TIDES. The increase in net income applicable to common stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2005, was attributable to the increase in net income of approximately $3.3 million and a decrease in preferred stock dividends of approximately $7.3 million. In February 2005, we redeemed our outstanding HIGH TIDES using proceeds from our sale of $200.0 million 6³/8% senior subordinated notes, borrowings of $110.0 million under our revolving bank credit facility, and available excess cash.

Other Data

Station operating income. Station operating income consists of net income before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest income, interest expense, equity in net loss of affiliated company, minority interest in income of subsidiary, other expense, corporate expenses, excluding non-cash compensation and non-cash compensation expenses. Station operating income is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Station operating income increased to approximately $92.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to approximately $82.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of approximately $10.7 million or 13.0%. In addition to consolidating the March through June 2005 operating results of Reach Media, this increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net broadcast revenue, partially offset by higher operating expenses as described above. A reconciliation of net income to station operating income is provided on page 27.

Station operating income margin. Station operating income margin represents station operating income as a percentage of net broadcast revenue. Station operating income margin is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Our station operating income margin was 52.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 52.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Our station operating income was approximately $92.8 million and $82.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, while our net broadcast revenue was approximately $178.5 million and $155.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

EBITDA. EBITDA represents net income or loss before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA was approximately $80.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to approximately $69.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of approximately $10.3 million or 14.7%. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA is provided on page 27.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, commitments available under our bank credit facilities and other debt or equity financings.

In June 2005, we entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The term of the Credit Agreement is seven years and the total amount available under the Credit Agreement is $800.0 million, consisting of a $500.0 million revolving facility and a $300.0 million term loan facility. Borrowings under the bank credit facilities are subject to compliance with provisions of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to financial covenants. We may use proceeds from the bank

credit facilities for working capital, capital expenditures made in the ordinary course of business and other lawful corporate purposes, for our common stock repurchase program, and for direct and indirect investments permitted under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that we must comply with, including (a) maintaining a ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of no less than 2.50 to 1.00, (b) maintaining a ratio of consolidated debt for borrowed money to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of, no greater than 6.50 to 1.00 from June 13, 2005 to September 30, 2006, and no greater than 6.00 to 1.00 from October 1, 2006 and thereafter, (c) limitations on liens, (d) limitations on the sale of assets, (e) limitations on the payment of dividends, and (f) limitations on mergers, as well as other customary covenants. Simultaneous with entering into the Credit Agreement, we borrowed $437.5 million under the Credit Agreement to retire all outstanding obligations under our previous credit agreement, dated as of July 17, 2000. The previous credit agreement provided for borrowings up to $600.0 million, and consisted of a $350.0 million term facility and a $250.0 million revolving facility.

As of June 30, 2005, we had approximately $362.1 million available for borrowing, of which approximately $143.0 million is available to be drawn down, taking into consideration the covenants under the Credit Agreement. Both the term loan facility and the revolving facility under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 0.63% to 1.50%, or the prime rate plus a spread of up to 0.50%, depending on our leverage ratio. We also pay a commitment fee that varies depending on certain financial covenants and the amount of unused commitment, up to a maximum of 0.375% per annum on the average balance of the revolving facility. We believe that we are in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, we (a) recorded approximately $3.9 million of deferred financing costs to be amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement, and (b) wrote-off approximately $2.1 million of the previous bank facilities’ unamortized deferred financing costs as a loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005.

Under our Credit Agreement, we may be required from time to time to protect ourselves from interest rate fluctuations using interest rate hedge agreements. As a result, we have entered into various fixed rate swap agreements designed to mitigate our exposure to higher floating interest rates. These swap agreements require that we pay a fixed rate of interest on the notional amount to a bank and that the bank pays to us a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR. As of June 30, 2005, we have swap agreements in place for a total notional amount of $100.0 million, and the periods remaining on these swap agreements range in duration from two to seven years.

Our credit exposure under these swap agreements is limited to the cost of replacing an agreement in the event of non-performance by our counter-party; however, we do not anticipate non-performance. All of the swap agreements are tied to the three-month LIBOR interest rate, which may fluctuate significantly on a daily basis. The valuation of each of these swap agreements is affected by the change in the three-month LIBOR rates and the remaining term of the agreement. Any increase in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a more favorable valuation, while a decrease in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a less favorable valuation.

The following table summarizes the interest rates in effect with respect to our debt as of June 30, 2005 (excluding capital leases):


	Amount		Applicable
Type of Debt	Outstanding		Interest Rate

	(Millions)
Senior bank term debt (swap matures 6/16/2012)(1)(2)	$	25.0		5.72	%
Senior bank term debt (swap matures 6/16/2010))(1)(2)		25.0		5.52
Senior bank term debt (swap matures 6/16/2008))(1)(2)		25.0		5.38
Senior bank term debt (swap matures 6/16/2007))(1)(2)		25.0		5.33
Senior bank term debt (subject to variable interest rates)(3)		200.0		4.69
Senior bank revolving debt (subject to variable interest rates)(3)		137.5		4.69
8⁷/8% Senior subordinated notes (fixed rate)		300.0		8.88
6³/8% Senior subordinated notes (fixed rate)		200.0		6.38


(1)	A total of $100.0 million is subject to fixed rate swap agreements that became effective on June 16, 2005.

(2)	Under our fixed rate swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate plus a spread based on our leverage ratio, as defined in our Credit Agreement. That spread is currently set at 1.25% and is incorporated into the applicable interest rates outlined above.

(3)	Subject to rolling 90-day LIBOR plus a spread currently at 1.25% and incorporated into the applicable interest rate.

In May 2001, we completed the private placement of $300.0 million of 8⁷/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011, realizing net proceeds of approximately $291.8 million. We recorded approximately $8.2 million in deferred offering costs, which are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes using the effective interest rate method. The net proceeds of the offering were primarily used to repay amounts owed on our bank credit facilities and previously outstanding senior subordinated notes. In November 2001, the 8⁷/8% senior subordinated notes were exchanged for an equal amount of notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Securities Act”).

In February 2005, we completed the private placement of $200.0 million 6³/8% senior subordinated notes due 2013, realizing net proceeds of approximately $195.5 million. We recorded approximately $4.5 million in deferred offering costs, which are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related notes using the effective interest rate method. The net proceeds of the offering, in addition to borrowings of $110.0 million under our previous revolving credit facility and available excess cash, were primarily used to redeem our outstanding HIGH TIDES.

Our Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our senior subordinated notes require that we comply with certain financial covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt. Such terms also place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, consolidation and mergers, and the issuance of equity interests, among other things. Our Credit Agreement also requires compliance with financial tests based on financial position and results of operations, including a leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio, all of which could effectively limit our ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement or to otherwise raise funds in the debt markets.

The following table provides a comparison of our statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004:


	2005			2004

	(In thousands)
Net cash flows from operating activities	$	44,796		$	49,707
Net cash flows used in investing activities		(22,929	)		(36,826	)
Net cash flows used in financing activities		(16,123	)		(35,859	)

Net cash flows from operating activities were approximately $44.8 million and $49.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 declined from the prior year primarily because of changes to the components of working capital. Specifically, trade accounts receivable increased due to sales growth and accounts payable and other current liabilities declined due to the elimination of the dividend accrual associated with the redemption of our outstanding HIGH TIDES.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $32.2 million and $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we completed the acquisition of 51% of the common stock of Reach Media for approximately $55.8 million in a combination of approximately $30.4 million of cash and 1,809,648 shares of our Class D common stock, and we sold short-term marketable securities for approximately $7.0 million. Capital expenditures were approximately $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we completed the acquisition of the assets of WRNB-FM (formerly WSNJ-FM) in the Philadelphia market for approximately $35.0 million, made a deposit of approximately $3.6 million for the acquisition of KRTS-FM in the Houston market, paid $3.5 million pursuant to our agreement to purchase all of the outstanding stock of New Mableton broadcasting Corporation (“NMBC”) for approximately $35.0 million and sold short term marketable securities for approximately $8.7 million. Capital expenditures were approximately $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Net cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to net cash flows used in financing activities of approximately $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we made a principal payment of $17.5 million on our previous term loan, paid approximately $437.5 million of amounts outstanding under our previous bank credit facilities with proceeds from the new bank credit facilities, repurchased shares of Class A and Class D common stock for approximately $14.8 million, realized net proceeds of approximately $195.5 million from the private placement of $200.0 million 6³/8% senior subordinated notes due 2013, borrowed $135.0 million under our previous revolving credit facility, redeemed our outstanding HIGH TIDES, received approximately $6.0 million from our stock subscriptions receivable and paid dividends on our HIGH TIDES of approximately $7.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we made a principal payment of approximately $26.3 million on our previous term loan facility and also paid dividends on our HIGH TIDES of approximately $10.1 million.

We continuously review opportunities to acquire additional radio stations, primarily in the top 60 African-American markets, and to make strategic investments. Other than our agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation, DIRECTV and other investors to fund TV One (the balance of our commitment is $37.0 million as of June 30, 2005), we have no definitive agreements to make acquisitions of additional radio stations or to make strategic investments. We anticipate that any future acquisitions or strategic investments will be financed through funds generated from operations, cash on hand, equity financings, permitted debt financings, debt financings through unrestricted subsidiaries or a combination of these sources. However, there can be no assurance that financing from any of these sources, if available, will be available on favorable terms.

As of June 30, 2005, we had a standby letter of credit in the amount of $417,000 in connection with our annual insurance policy renewals. To date, there has been no activity on the standby letter of credit.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and reduce our total debt, our ability to refinance the 8⁷/8% senior subordinated notes at or prior to their scheduled maturity date in 2011, and our ability to refinance the 6³/8% senior subordinated notes at or prior to their scheduled maturity date in 2013 will depend upon our future performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, including factors beyond our control. During the remainder of 2005, our principal liquidity requirements will be for working capital, continued business development, strategic investment opportunities and for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.

We believe that, based on current levels of operations and anticipated internal growth, for the foreseeable future, cash flow from operations together with other available sources of funds will be adequate to make required payments of interest on our indebtedness, to fulfill our commitment to fund TV One, to fund potential acquisitions, to fund anticipated capital expenditures and working capital requirements and to enable us to comply with the terms of our debt agreements. However, in order to finance future acquisitions or investments, if any, we may require additional financing and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In Management’s Discussion and Analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/ A for the year ended December 31, 2004, we summarized the policies and estimates that we believe to be most critical in understanding the judgments involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. There have been no material changes on such policies or estimates since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K/ A for the year ended December 31, 2004.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R), (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) sets accounting requirements for “share-based” compensation to employees, including employee stock purchase plans. The statement eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. Disclosure of the effect of expensing the fair value of equity compensation is currently required under existing literature. The statement also requires the tax benefit associated with these share based payments be classified as financing activities in the Statement of Cash Flows rather than operating activities as currently permitted. The Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the required implementation date for this statement from the third quarter of 2005 to the beginning of the 2006 fiscal year. We currently use the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to compute the fair value of our stock options in connection with our disclosure of the pro forma effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if compensation cost had been recognized for such options at the date of grant. However, a number of technical implementation issues have not yet been resolved, including the selection and use of an appropriate valuation model, and therefore, we have not yet determined the ultimate impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

CAPITAL AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS


	*Long-term debt*

In February 2005, we completed the private placement of $200.0 million 6³/8% senior subordinated notes due 2013 realizing net proceeds of approximately $195.5 million. The net proceeds were primarily used to redeem our outstanding HIGH TIDES.

In May 2001, we completed the private placement of $300.0 million of 8⁷/8% senior subordinated notes due 2011 realizing net proceeds of approximately $291.8 million. In November 2001, the 8⁷/8% senior subordinated notes were exchanged for an equal amount of notes registered under the Securities Act.


	*Lease obligations*

We have non-cancelable operating leases for office space, studio space, broadcast towers and transmitter facilities and non-cancelable capital leases for equipment that expire over the next 20 years.

(1)	The above amounts do not include interest, which in some cases is variable in amount.

(2)	Includes employment contracts, severance obligations, on-air talent contracts and other programming agreements.

(3)	Includes a retention bonus of approximately $2.0 million pursuant to an employment agreement with the Chief Administrative Officer (“CAO”) for remaining employed with the Company through and including October 31, 2008. If the CAO’s employment ends before October 31, 2008, the amount paid will be a pro rata portion of the retention bonus based on the number of days of employment between October 31, 2004 and October 31, 2008.

(4)	Includes a retention bonus of approximately $7.0 million pursuant to an employment agreement with the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) for remaining employed with the Company through and including October 18, 2010. If the CFO’s employment ends before October 18, 2010, the amount paid will be a pro rata portion of the retention bonus based on the number of days of employment between October 18, 2005 and October 18, 2010.

In addition to the obligations above, as of June 30, 2005, we had swap agreements in place for a total notional amount of $100.0 million. The periods remaining on the swap agreements range in duration from two to seven years. If we terminate our interest swap agreements before they expire, we will be required to pay early termination fees. Our credit exposure under these agreements is limited to the cost of replacing an agreement in the event of non-performance by our counter-party, however, we do not anticipate non-performance.

We anticipate that we will fund our obligations and commitments through one or more of the following: (1) cash on hand; (2) cash flow from operations; (3) additional permitted borrowings; or (4) other debt or equity financings.

Item 3.	*Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk*

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting Radio One, see Item 7A: “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/ A, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Our exposure related to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2004.


Item 4.	*Controls and Procedures*

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching our desired disclosure controls objectives. Our management, including our CEO and CFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching that level of reasonable assurance.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

During the second quarter of 2005, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	*Legal Proceedings*

In November 2001, Radio One and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action shareholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, now captioned, In re Radio One, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-10160. Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds of other public companies (Issuers) that conducted initial public offerings of their common stock in the late 1990s (the IPO Lawsuits). In the complaint filed against Radio One (as amended), the plaintiffs claim that Radio One, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of certain of its public offerings violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”) based on allegations that its registration statement and prospectus failed to disclose material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the underwriters. The complaint also contains a claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that this omission constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief.

In July 2002, Radio One joined in a global motion, filed by the Issuers, to dismiss the IPO Lawsuits. In October 2002, the court entered an order dismissing the Company’s named officers and directors from the IPO Lawsuits without prejudice, pursuant to an agreement tolling the statute of limitations with respect to Radio One’s officers and directors until September 30, 2003. In February 2003, the court issued a decision denying the motion to dismiss the Section 11 and Section 10(b) claims against Radio One and most of the Issuers.

In July 2003, a Special Litigation Committee of Radio One’s Board of Directors approved in principle a settlement proposal with the plaintiffs that is anticipated to include most of the Issuers. The proposed settlement would provide for the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against the participating Issuers and their officers and the assignment to plaintiffs of certain potential claims that the Issuers may have against their underwriters. The tentative settlement also provides that, in the event that plaintiffs ultimately recover less than a guaranteed sum from the underwriters, plaintiffs would be entitled to payment by each participating Issuer’s insurer of a pro rata share of any shortfall in the plaintiffs guaranteed recovery. In September 2003, in connection with the proposed settlement, Radio One’s named officers and directors extended the tolling agreement so that it would not expire prior to any settlement being finalized. In June 2004, Radio One executed a final settlement agreement with the plaintiffs. On February 15, 2005, the Court issued a decision certifying a class action for settlement purposes and granting preliminary approval of the settlement subject to modification of certain bar orders contemplated by the settlement. In addition, the settlement is still subject to statutory notice requirements as well as final judicial approval.

Radio One is involved from time to time in various routine legal and administrative proceedings and threatened legal and administrative proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of our business. Radio One believes the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.


Item 2.	*Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds*

During the three months and six months ending June 30, 2005, we made repurchases of our Class A and Class D common stock pursuant to the $150.0 million stock repurchase program adopted by our Board of Directors on May 25, 2005.

On May 25, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $150.0 million of the Company’s Class A and Class D common stock over a period of 18 months, with the amount and timing of repurchases based on stock price, general economic and market conditions, certain restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement governing the Company’s bank credit facilities and subordinated debt and certain other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any of its common stock and may be discontinued or suspended at any time.

other Principal Stockholder shall have the sole power to exercise the designation rights granted to the Principal Stockholders pursuant to this paragraph.

(b) REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS. If at any time the Principal Stockholders shall notify the other Stockholders of their mutual desire to remove, with or without cause, any Class B Director from the Board, all such Persons so notified will vote, or cause to be voted, all voting securities of the Company over which they have the power to vote or direct the voting, and shall take all such other actions promptly as shall be necessary or desirable to cause the removal of such Class B Director; provided, however, that if either Principal Stockholder is Incapacitated, the other Principal Stockholder shall have the sole power to exercise the removal rights granted to the Principal Stockholders pursuant to this paragraph, including, without limitation, requiring the removal of the Incapacitated Principal Stockholder.

HUGHES AND ALFRED C. LIGGINS, III (ACTING TOGETHER, OR IF ONE OF THEM IS DECEASED, INCAPACITATED OR UNAVAILABLE, THE OTHER OF THEM ACTING ALONE) AS SUCH STOCKHOLDER’S TRUE AND LAWFUL ATTORNEY, AGENT AND PROXY, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION, TO ATTEND MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY HELD FROM TIME TO TIME, AND TO VOTE ON SUCH STOCKHOLDER’S BEHALF AND IN SUCH STOCKHOLDER’S NAME, PLACE, AND STEAD, OR TO EXECUTE WRITTEN CONSENTS IN LIEU OF SUCH MEETINGS, THE NUMBER OF VOTES THAT SUCH STOCKHOLDER WOULD BE ENTITLED TO CAST IF ACTUALLY PRESENT OR WITH RESPECT TO WHICH

(f) OTHER VOTING RIGHTS. In the event that a Principal Stockholder is Incapacitated, the other Principal Stockholder shall have the right, in addition to the other rights granted pursuant to this Section 2, to vote, or cause to be voted, all voting securities of the Company over which such Incapacitated Principal Stockholder would otherwise have the power to vote or direct the voting, as to all matters presented for a vote of the Company’s stockholders.

(g) REGULATORY SAVINGS PROVISION. If at any time the possession by a Principal Stockholder of the voting power represented by the voting securities held by such Principal Stockholder, or over which such Principal Stockholder has the power to vote or direct the voting, differs from the voting power required or permitted to be held by such Principal Stockholder, or requires a consent or waiver that at such time has not been obtained, under any Law applicable to such Principal Stockholder or the Company, then (i) if such voting power exceeds the amount permitted to be held by such Principal Stockholder, or with respect to which such a consent or waiver has been obtained, the other Principal Stockholder shall have the sole power to vote, or cause to be voted, the number of voting securities of the Company representing such excess voting power and over which the first Principal Stockholder would otherwise have the power to vote or direct the voting, as to all matters presented for a vote of the Company’s stockholders, and (ii) if such voting power is less than the amount required to be held by such Principal Stockholder, such Principal Stockholder shall have the sole power to vote, or cause to be voted, as to all matters presented for a vote of the Company’s stockholders, that number, and only that number of voting securities of the Company representing sufficient voting power to eliminate such shortfall and over which the other Principal Stockholder would otherwise have the power to vote or direct the voting. In all cases, the provisions of this Section 2(g) shall be applied only to the extent and for the period necessary to bring the Principal Stockholders and the Company into compliance with applicable Law, and shall not operate to cause either Principal Stockholder not to be in compliance with applicable Law. In the exercise of voting rights provided by this Section 2(g), each Principal Stockholder shall remain subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 3. DISPOSITION OF IN CAPACITATED PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER’S SHARES.

In the event that a Principal Stockholder is Incapacitated, the other Principal Stockholder shall have the right to direct the disposition of all Stockholder Shares held by the Incapacitated Principal Stockholder, including, without limitation, the right to purchase such Stockholder Shares; provided, however, that any Transfer of any such Stockholder Shares shall be for a consideration equal to the Fair Market Value of such Stockholder Shares. During any period while any Principal Stockholder is deemed to be Incapacitated, until such time as the Stockholder Shares held by such Incapacitated Principal Stockholder are disposed of pursuant to this Section 3, the other Principal Stockholders shall have the right to vote the Incapacitated Principal Stockholder’s Stockholder Shares, as provided in Section 2(f).

SECTION 4. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

(a) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. No Stockholder may Transfer any Stockholder Shares, except in a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 4(b)), subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 4; provided, a Transfer may be made to any Person if both Principal Stockholders (or such one Principal Stockholder as is not then Incapacitated, if one is Incapacitated) consent in writing to such Transfer, subject to the provisions of Section 4(g).

(b) CERTAIN PERMITTED TRANSFERS. “Permitted Transfers” shall include Transfers of Stockholder Shares (i) pursuant to Sections 3, 6, 7 or 8; or (ii) to a Permitted Transferee of a Principal Stockholder; provided that, as a condition of any such Permitted Transfer, each such Permitted Transferee not already a party to this Agreement executes a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and thereby becomes a party to this Agreement, and, provided further that all remaining, applicable requirements of this Section 4 are satisfied.

(c) GENERAL RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. No Permitted Transfer shall occur with respect to any Class of Common Stock (other than Class B Common Stock) unless, at least ninety (90) days prior to making any such Permitted Transfer, the transferring Stockholder delivers a written notice (the “TRANSFER NOTICE”) to each Principal Stockholder that discloses in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s) and the terms and conditions of the proposed Permitted Transfer; provided, in the event of a Stockholder’s death, no Permitted Transfer (including, without limitation, any Transfer of any Class of Common Stock (other than Class B Common Stock) to an executor, trustee or other fiduciary or successor in interest to the deceased Stockholder) shall occur with respect to such Common Stock held (directly or indirectly) by such Stockholder immediately prior to his death until (i) a legal representative of such deceased Stockholder’s estate (or another duly authorized fiduciary or successor in interest to such deceased Stockholder) delivers to the surviving Principal Stockholders

documentation identifying his authority to act as a fiduciary or other successor in interest with respect to the deceased Stockholder’s Common Stock (and delivery of such documentation shall constitute a “Transfer Notice” under this Section 4(c)); and (ii) at least ninety (90) days have elapsed after delivery to the surviving Principal Stockholders of such Transfer Notice. No Stockholder shall consummate any such Permitted Transfer until thirty (30) days (ninety (90) days in the case of a Permitted Transfer upon the death of a Stockholder) after the Transfer Notice has been delivered to each Principal Stockholder then living (the expiration of such 30 or 90-day period being the “GENERAL AUTHORIZATION DATE”). Any time prior to the General Authorization Date, each Principal Stockholder then living may elect to purchase all or a portion of such Principal Stockholder’s pro rata share of Common Stock (other than Class B Common Stock) proposed to be transferred (the “GENERAL RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL”) at a price equal to the greater of (i) the price set forth in the Transfer Notice; or (ii) Fair Market Value of such Common Stock proposed to be transferred; provided, in the case of a proposed Transfer by or on behalf of a Principal Stockholder (or a Transfer that would occur as a result of a Principal Stockholder’s death; such Principal Stockholder who has proposed such Transfer or died, being referred to as the “Transferor Principal Stockholder”), the other Principal Stockholder’s General Right of First Refusal shall extend to the entire Transfer (or any part thereof, as may be elected by such other Principal Stockholder) proposed to be made by or on behalf of the Transferor Principal Stockholder (or as a result of his death). Any Principal Stockholder desiring to exercise the General Right of First Refusal shall deliver written notice of such election to the transferring Stockholder (or to the fiduciary or other successor in interest that provided the Transfer Notice with respect to a deceased Stockholder) within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Transfer Notice (ninety (90) days in the case of a Transfer upon the death of a Stockholder) by the Principal Stockholders. If one or more of the Principal Stockholders have elected not to exercise the General Right of First Refusal, the transferring Stockholder shall offer each Principal Stockholder electing to exercise the General Right of First Refusal the option to purchase such Principal Stockholder’s pro rata share of the Common Stock (other than Class B Common Stock) proposed to be transferred and for which a General Right of First Refusal has not been exercised. In the event less than all of such shares of Common Stock proposed to be transferred are acquired by the Principal Stockholders pursuant to the General Right of First Refusal, the transferring Stockholder may Transfer such remaining shares of Common Stock to the prospective transferee(s) as specified in the Transfer Notice, at a price and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Transfer Notice, during the 90-day period immediately following the General Authorization Date. Any shares of Common Stock (other than Class B Common Stock) not so transferred within such 90-day period must be reoffered to the Principal Stockholders in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(c).

(d) RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL CLASS B STOCK. No Permitted Transfer shall occur with respect to Class B Common Stock unless, at least ninety (90) days prior to making any such Permitted Transfer, the transferring Stockholder delivers a written

notice (the “CLASS B TRANSFER NOTICE”) to each Principal Stockholder that discloses in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s) and the terms and conditions of the proposed Permitted Transfer; provided, in the event of a Stockholder’s death, no Permitted Transfer (including, without limitation, any Transfer of Class B Common Stock to an executor, trustee or other fiduciary or successor in interest to the deceased Stockholder) shall occur with respect to the Class B Common Stock held (directly or indirectly) by such Stockholder immediately prior to his death until (i) a legal representative of such deceased Stockholder’s estate (or another duly authorized fiduciary or successor in interest to such deceased Stockholder) delivers to the surviving Principal Stockholders documentation identifying his authority to act as a fiduciary or other successor in interest with respect to the deceased Stockholder’s Class B Common Stock (and delivery of such documentation shall constitute a “Class B Transfer Notice” under this Section 4(d)); and (ii) at least ninety (90) days have elapsed after delivery to the surviving Principal Stockholders of such Class B Transfer Notice. No Stockholder shall consummate any such Permitted Transfer until thirty (30) days (ninety (90) days in the case of a Permitted Transfer upon the death of a Stockholder) after the Transfer Notice has been delivered to each Principal Stockholder then living (the expiration of such 30 or 90-day period being the “CLASS B AUTHORIZATION DATE”). Any time prior to the Class B Authorization Date, each Principal Stockholder then living may elect to purchase all or a portion of such Principal Stockholder’s pro rata share of Class B Common Stock proposed to be transferred (the “CLASS B RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL”) at a price equal to the greater of (i) the price set forth in the Class B Transfer Notice; or (ii) Fair Market Value of the Class B Common Stock proposed to be transferred; provided, in the case of a proposed Transfer by or on behalf of a Principal Stockholder (or a Transfer that would occur as a result of a Principal Stockholder’s death; such Principal Stockholder who has proposed such Transfer or died, being referred to as the “Transferor Principal Stockholder”), the other Principal Stockholder’s Class B Right of First Refusal shall extend to the entire Transfer (or any part thereof, as may be elected by such other Principal Stockholder) proposed to be made by or on behalf of the Transferor Principal Stockholder (or as a result of his death). Any Principal Stockholder desiring to exercise the Class B Right of First Refusal shall deliver written notice of such election to the transferring Stockholder (or to the fiduciary or other successor in interest that provided the Class B Transfer Notice with respect to a deceased Stockholder) within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Class B Transfer Notice (ninety (90) days in the case of a Transfer upon the death of a Stockholder) by the Principal Stockholders. If one or more of the Principal Stockholders have elected not to exercise the Class B Right of First Refusal, the transferring Stockholder shall offer each Principal Stockholder electing to exercise the Class B Right of First Refusal the option to purchase such Principal Stockholder’s pro rata share of the Class B Common stock proposed to be transferred and for which a Class B Right of First Refusal has not been exercised. In the event less than all of the shares of Class B Common Stock proposed to be transferred are acquired by the Principal Stockholders pursuant to the Class B Right of First Refusal, the transferring Stockholder may Transfer the remaining shares of Class B Common Stock to the prospective transferee(s) as specified in the Class B Transfer Notice, during the 90-day

period immediately following the Class B Authorization Date, at a price and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Class B Transfer Notice. Any shares of Class B Common Stock not so transferred within such 90-day period must be reoffered to the Principal Stockholders in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(d).

(e) IRREVOCABLE PROXY. In the event any Principal Stockholder elects not to exercise the Class B Right of First Refusal and, as a result, the transferring Stockholder proposes to engage in a Permitted Transfer of the shares of Class B Common Stock to any person other than a Principal Stockholder, immediately prior to the time of such Permitted Transfer, the transferring Stockholder shall irrevocably appoint and constitute the other Principal Stockholders, agents and attorneys of the transferring Stockholder, to vote such shares of Class B Common Stock in the Principal Stockholders’ sole and exclusive discretion, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of such transferring Stockholder’s rights with respect to the shares of Class B Common Stock proposed to be transferred. Similarly, in the event of a Stockholder’s death, if any Principal Stockholder elects not to exercise the Class B Right of First Refusal and, as a result, the deceased Stockholder’s Class B Common Stock would pass to any Person other than a Principal Stockholder in a Permitted Transfer, then (as a condition precedent to any such Permitted Transfer) the Permitted Transferees shall irrevocably appoint and constitute the Principal Stockholders then living as the agents and attorneys of such Permitted Transferees, to vote such shares of Class B Common Stock in such Principal Stockholders’ sole and exclusive discretion, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of such deceased Stockholder’s rights with respect to all shares of Class B Common Stock that are proposed to be transferred by reason of such Stockholder’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 4(e) shall be deemed to vest in the Principal Stockholders any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any of the shares of Class B Common Stock proposed to be transferred. All rights (other than voting rights), ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the shares of Class B Common Stock proposed to be transferred shall remain vested in the transferring Stockholder, and upon such Permitted Transfer shall vest in the Permitted Transferee.

(f) LIFE INSURANCE ON PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS’ LIVES. Each Principal Stockholder (each, respectively, the “Insured”) agrees to permit the other Principal Stockholder (each, respectively, the “Owner”) to apply for one or more life insurance policies (the “Policies”) insuring the Insured’s life, with the Owner being the owner of each such policy (controlling all incidents of ownership of any insurance policy obtained on the Insured’s life pursuant to this Section 4(f)); provided, the total face amount of the death benefits on any such Policies shall not exceed the amounts as may be agreed to in writing (prior to application for any such life insurance) by both Principal Stockholders. Further, each Insured agrees to consent to such life insurance applications, medical exams and other reasonable underwriting procedures as may be required by the insurance companies (as selected by the Owner) in connection with issuing any such

Policies. Each Owner may (but shall not be required to) use the death benefits from any such Policies to facilitate a purchase of Class B Common Stock following the death of the Insured (pursuant to any Class B Right of First Refusal that may be triggered by reason of the Insured’s death).

(g) OPINION OF COUNSEL. No holder of Stockholder Shares may Transfer any such stock (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) without first delivering to the Company, if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Company that registration under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such transfer.

SECTION 5. LEGENDS.

(a) STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT LEGEND. The certificates representing Stockholder Shares shall bear the following legend:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AN AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 28, 2004 AMONG CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS OF RADIO ONE, INC., A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT THE PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS OF RADIO ONE, INC. DISPOSITION OF THIS CERTIFICATE OR THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY OR ANY RIGHTS OR INTERESTS THEREIN IN VIOLATION OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.

SECTION 6. SALE OF THE COMPANY. If the Principal Stockholders mutually approve a Company Sale (an “APPROVED SALE”), the other holders of Stockholder Shares (the “OTHER STOCKHOLDERS”) shall consent to and raise no objections against such Approved Sale (and shall waive any rights of appraisal arising in connection therewith) and shall fully cooperate with and take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of such Approved Sale, including without limitation (a) executing a purchase and sale agreement and any other agreement reasonably necessary to effectuate such Approved Sale in the form to be entered into by the Principal Stockholders, (b) amending the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, (c) merging, combining or consolidating the Company with any other Person, (d) reorganizing, recapitalizing, liquidating, dissolving or winding-up the Company, (e) exchanging or splitting stock of the Company or (f) selling, leasing or exchanging all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. If the Approved Sale is structured as a sale of stock, the Other Stockholders shall agree to sell all of their shares of Common Stock and rights to acquire shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions approved by

the Board and the Principal Stockholders. The obligations of the Other Stockholders with respect to any Approved Sale are subject to the conditions that (a) upon the consummation of such Approved Sale, all of the holders of Common Stock will receive the same form and amount of consideration per share of Common Stock, or if any holders are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders will be given the same option and (b) no stockholder shall be required to incur indemnification obligations (whether several or joint and several) which are in excess of the net proceeds received by such Stockholder in connection with such Approved Sale. In the event that a Principal Stockholder is Incapacitated, any Company Sale that is approved by the Principal Stockholder that is not Incapacitated shall be deemed to be an Approved Sale for all purposes hereof, and all references to the Principal Stockholders in this paragraph shall be deemed to exclude the Incapacitated Principal Stockholder.

SECTION 7. PARTICIPATION RIGHTS. Not less than twenty (20) days prior to any proposed Transfer of Stockholder Shares by a Principal Stockholder (the “SELLING PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER”), the Selling Principal Stockholder shall deliver to the other Principal Stockholder (so long as such other Principal Stockholder is not Incapacitated) a written notice (the “SALE NOTICE”) specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the proposed transferee(s) and the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. Provided that the other Principal Stockholder is not Incapacitated and has not elected to exercise the Rights of First Refusal provided in Sections 4(c) and 4(d), as applicable, with respect to the Transfer specified in the Sale Notice, such other Principal Stockholder may elect to participate in the proposed Transfer by delivering to the Selling Principal Stockholder a written notice of such election within the 10-day period following delivery of the Sale Notice. If the other Principal Stockholder elects to participate in such Transfer, the Selling Principal Stockholder and such other Principal Stockholder will be entitled to sell in such proposed Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms, a number of shares of each class of Common Stock specified in the Sale Notice equal to the product of (i) the quotient determined by dividing the number of shares of such class of Common Stock then held by the Selling Principal Stockholder or such other Principal Stockholder, as the case may be, by the aggregate number of shares of such class of Common Stock then held by the Selling Principal Stockholder and such other Principal Stockholder, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of such class of Common Stock to be sold in such proposed Transfer. For purposes of this Section 7, the amount of Common Stock held by a Principal Stockholder shall be deemed to include all shares of Common Stock acquirable pursuant to the exercise of Vested Options then held by such Principal Stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7 shall not apply to (i) Transfers pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), (ii) Transfers pursuant to Section 4, or (v) Transfers pursuant to Section 6.

SECTION 8. DEADLOCKS.

(a) DEFINITION. For purposes hereof, a “DEADLOCK” shall be deemed to have occurred if after having tried on a good-faith basis to do so for a period of at least ninety (90) days after delivery by one Principal Stockholder to the other Principal Stockholder of a written notice requesting the commencement of such good faith efforts, the Principal Stockholders are unable to reach mutual agreement with respect to either (i) the individual or individuals to fill one or more of the Board seats to be filled by Class B Directors, other than Hughes or Liggins, or (ii) a Company Sale proposed by one of the Principal Stockholders.

(b) INITIATION OF AUCTION. Upon the occurrence of a Deadlock, either Principal Stockholder may, by written notice delivered to the other Principal Stockholder, initiate a bidding process to determine which Principal Stockholder shall acquire all of the other Principal Stockholder’s Stockholder Shares. Such bidding process shall begin on the date (the “INITIAL AUCTION DATE”) mutually agreed to by the Principal Stockholders, which date shall be not later than thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice referred to in the preceding sentence. Such bidding process shall in all events proceed in two stages: first, the Principal Stockholders shall determine a market valuation for the corporation, taken as a whole, through the competitive bidding procedures described in paragraph (c) below and second, the purchase price for the winning bidder to purchase all of the losing bidder’s Stockholder Shares shall be determined based on the formula set forth in paragraph (d) below.

(c) AUCTION PROCEDURE. On the Initial Auction Date, each Principal Stockholder shall initiate the bidding process by delivering simultaneously to the other Principal Stockholder a written offer (the “INITIAL OFFER”) which sets forth its valuation of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, taken as a whole. The higher of the valuations shall constitute the initial bid. Such initial bid and each subsequent valuation must be met in turn, within forty-eight (48) hours following delivery thereof, by either acceptance or delivery of a written counteroffer. Each counteroffer after the initial bid must be in a minimum amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount that is five percent (5%) higher than the preceding bid (on a percentage basis) and (b) the amount that is $10,000.00 higher than the preceding bid. Any failure to respond within forty-eight (48) hours of delivery of a bid as provided above shall be deemed to constitute an irrevocable and unconditional acceptance of that bid. This bidding process shall continue until one Principal Stockholder accepts the other Principal Stockholder’s latest valuation, either affirmatively or by failing to make a counteroffer (such final valuation, the “FINAL AUCTION PRICE”).

(d) DETERMINATION OF FINAL PURCHASE PRICE. The final purchase price (the “FINAL PURCHASE PRICE”) payable by the winning bidder for all of the losing bidder’s Stockholder Shares shall be the amount equal to the product of (x) the

Final Auction Price and (y) the percentage of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company represented by the Stockholder Shares held by the losing bidder.

(e) CONSUMMATION OF SALE AND TRANSFER. The sale and transfer of the losing bidder’s Stockholder Shares to the winning bidder shall be consummated as soon as practicable after the determination of the Final Auction Price, subject to receipt of necessary governmental, regulatory and antitrust approvals. Each Principal Stockholder shall cooperate with the other to take all actions necessary to conclude the sale and transfer contemplated hereunder.

SECTION 9. TRANSFERS IN VIOLATION OF AGREEMENT. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Stockholder Shares in violation of this Agreement shall be void, and the Company shall not be obligated to record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Stockholder Shares as the owner of such shares for any purpose.

SECTION 10. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective against the Stockholders unless such amendment or waiver is approved in writing by the Principal Stockholders other than any Incapacitated Principal Stockholder. The failure of any party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 11. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

SECTION 12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this document embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

SECTION 13. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Stockholders and their respective permitted successors and assigns so long as such Stockholders and their respective permitted successors and assigns hold Stockholder Shares. The Company is and shall be an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

SECTION 14. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 15. REMEDIES. The Company (as a third party beneficiary) and the Stockholders shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that the Company or any Stockholder may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting a bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 16. NOTICES. Any notice provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either personally delivered, or sent via facsimile, or mailed first class mail (postage prepaid) or sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) to the Principal Stockholders at their respective addresses set forth in the preface to this Agreement, and to any subsequent holder of Stockholder Shares subject to this Agreement at such address as indicated by the Company’s records, or at such address or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party. Notices will be deemed to have been given hereunder when delivered personally or sent via facsimile (against receipt therefor), three days after deposit in the U.S. mail and one day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier service.

SECTION 17. GOVERNING LAW. The corporate law of Delaware shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of Maryland.

SECTION 18. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

SECTION 19. TERMINATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate upon a Company Sale.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement as of the date first above written.
