ITEM 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
As we disclosed in a March 16, 2007 current report on Form 8-K, we are conducting a review of
our historical stock option granting practices from May 5, 1999. As we also announced in the March
16, 2007 Form 8-K, we have not completed our review, and as a result, we were unable to file our
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 by March 16, 2007, the date upon
which the Form 10-K was due. We intend to file our annual report on Form 10-K as soon as
practicable after the completion of our review.
Section 5.01(a) of our Credit Agreement, dated June 13, 2005, by and among Radio One Inc. and
the several lenders named in the Credit Agreement (the Lenders), requires that we deliver our
audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 no later
than March 31, 2007. On March 30, 2007, we entered into a Consent to Credit Agreement with the
requisite Lenders (the Consent), pursuant to which the due date for the delivery of our audited
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 was extended from
March 31, 2007 to May 15, 2007.
The foregoing description of the Consent is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
provisions of the complete Consent attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K,
which we hereby incorporate into this Item 1.01 by reference.

Exhibit 4.1
CONSENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
THIS CONSENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this Consent), dated as of March 30, 2007 is
entered into among RADIO ONE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the Borrower), the lenders
listed on the signature pages hereof as Lenders (the Lenders), and WACHOVIA BANK,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (the Administrative Agent).
BACKGROUND
A. The Borrower, the Lenders, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, Credit Suisse,
Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and SunTrust Bank, as co-documentation agents,
and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 13,
2005 (as the same has been amended, restated or modified from time to time, the Credit
Agreement). The terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall
be used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement.
B. As disclosed by the Borrower in its current report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2007 (the March 16 8-K), the Borrower is conducting
a review of its historical stock option granting practices from May 5, 1999 and, because the
Borrower has not completed its review, the Borrower was unable to file its annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 by March 16, 2007, the date upon which the Form 10-K was
due. The Borrower intends to file its annual report on Form 10-K as soon as practicable after the
completion of its review, and has requested a consent from the Lenders to extend the due date for
delivery of the Borrowers audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2006 as required in accordance with Section 5.01(a) of the Credit Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, conditions and agreements hereafter set
forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are all
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1. CONSENT. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions of effectiveness set forth
in Section 3 hereof, the Required Lenders hereby consent to the extension of the due date
to May 15, 2007 for delivery of the Borrowers audited consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 required in accordance with Section 5.01(a) of the Credit
Agreement. This Consent is limited in scope and does not affect any other covenants or provisions
of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES TRUE; NO EVENT OF DEFAULT. By its execution and
delivery hereof, the Borrower represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date (as defined
herein) and after giving effect to the consent set forth in the foregoing Section 1:
(a) the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are true and correct on and as of the Effective Date as made on and as of such date,
except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier
date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date and except to the extent
expressly disclosed by the Borrower in the March 16 8-K; and
1
(b) no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or Event of Default.
3. CONDITIONS OF EFFECTIVENESS. This Consent shall not be effective until the
satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent:
(a) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of this Consent shall be
true and correct;
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Consent executed by the
Required Lenders; and
(c) the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Consent executed by the
Borrower and Guarantors.
4. REFERENCE TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(a) Upon and during the effectiveness of this Consent, each reference in the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents to this Agreement, hereunder, or words of like import shall mean
and be a reference to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, as the case may be, as
affected by this Consent.
(b) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Consent shall not by implication or otherwise
limit, impair, constitute an amendment of, or otherwise affect the rights or remedies of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
and shall not alter, modify, amend, or in any way affect the terms, conditions, obligations,
covenants, or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all of
which are hereby ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower, Guarantors or Lenders to a consent to, or
a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents in similar or
different circumstances.
(c) Notwithstanding that such consent is not required hereunder, each of the Guarantors hereby
consents to the execution and delivery of this Consent and reaffirm its respective obligations
under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
5. COSTS AND EXPENSES. The Borrower shall be obligated to pay the costs and expenses
of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, reproduction, execution and
delivery of this Consent and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder.
6. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Consent may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument and signature pages may be detached from multiple
separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature
2
pages are physically attached to the same document. For purposes of this Consent, a
counterpart hereof (or signature page thereto) signed and transmitted by any Person party hereto to
the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) by facsimile machine, telecopier or electronic mail is to
be treated as an original. The signature of such Person thereon, for purposes hereof, is to be
considered as an original signature, and the counterpart (or signature page thereto) so transmitted
is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original
document. This Consent shall become effective when the Administrative Agent has received
counterparts of this Consent executed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders and each of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have been satisfied (the Effective
Date).
7. GOVERNING LAW; BINDING EFFECT. This Consent shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Consent shall be binding upon the Borrower
and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns.
8. HEADINGS. Section headings in this Consent are included herein for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Consent for any other purpose.
9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS AFFECTED
BY THIS CONSENT, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS TO THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREIN
AND HEREIN AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
