SERIES A PERPETUAL PREFERRED STOCK

1. Amount and Designation.

A total of 1.5 million shares of the authorized and unissued Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby designated as Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, without par value (the “Series A Preferred Stock “). The Series A Preferred Stock shall have a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (the “Liquidation Preference”). The Corporation may issue fractional interests in and/or fractional shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each Holder of a fractional interest in and/or a fractional share of a share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled, proportionately, to all the rights, preferences and privileges of a Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock. At all times the Corporation will have sufficient shares authorized and will take all actions necessary to authorize additional shares if required, in each case, to meet its obligations hereunder.

2. Rank.

The Series A Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividends, redemption and distributions upon liquidation,winding-up and dissolution of the Corporation, rank senior to all classes and series of common stock of the Corporation whether voting ornon-voting, including without limitation the Class A Common Stock, no par value (the “Class A Common Stock”) and the Common Stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), whether now or hereafter issued, and to each other class or series of Stock of the Corporation hereafter created (collectively referred to as “Junior Stock”). The Corporation may not issue any shares of, or any securities convertible into shares of, any class or series of Stock that ranks on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends, redemption or as to distributions upon liquidation,winding-up and dissolution (collectively referred to as “Parity Stock”), or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends, redemption or as to distributions upon liquidation,winding-up and dissolution of the Corporation (collectively referred to as “Senior Stock”).

3. Dividends.

(a) The Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, mandatory and cumulative dividends in an amount per quarter equal to the Dividend Rate or the PIK Dividend Rate, as applicable, multiplied by the Liquidation Preference for each of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, calculated on the basis of a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months.

(b) Dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue on a daily basis from the original issue date of such share. To the extent any quarterly dividend is not paid in cash or by issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock as set forth in this Section 3, such dividend amount shall accumulate and compound on a quarterly basis, whether or not the Corporation has earnings and/or profits, whether or not payment of dividends is then permitted by law, and whether or not declared.

(c) Dividends shall be paid in full, in cash (“Cash Dividends”) for each Dividend Period; provided, that, at the Corporation’s option and by notice to all Holders mailed no later than five Business Days prior to the applicable Dividend Record Date (the “PIK Election Notice”), the dividends

1

due for any Dividend Period, in whole or in part, may be paid in kind by issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“PIK Election Dividends”), subject to Section 3(d). PIK Election Dividends shall be paid at the PIK Dividend Rate. Dividends shall be payable quarterly with respect to each Dividend Period in arrears on the first Dividend Payment Date after such Dividend Period.

(d) If and to the extent that the Corporation does not for any reason pay the entire dividend payable for a particular Dividend Period either as Cash Dividends, PIK Election Dividends or a combination of Cash Dividends and PIK Election Dividends, on the applicable Dividend Payment Date for such period (whether or not the payment of dividends is permitted under applicable law or such dividends are declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation), such unpaid dividends shall be paid in kind by issuance of additional Series A Preferred Stock (the “Additional PIK Dividends”) to the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock as of the applicable Dividend Record Date, on the first date on which such Additional PIK Dividend can be paid in accordance with applicable law. Additional PIK Dividends shall be paid at the PIK Dividend Rate, subject to compounding pursuant to Section 3(b).

(e) When a dividend or part thereof is paid in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such number of additional shares shall be calculated by dividing the amount of such dividend or part thereof that would otherwise be paid in cash by the Liquidation Preference of a share of Series A Preferred Stock.

(f) Dividends that are payable on the Series A Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date will be payable to Holders of record on the applicable record date, which shall be the last day of the applicable Dividend Period (each such record date, a “Dividend Record Date”). Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business Day. All dividends paid pursuant to this Section 3 shall be paid ratably to the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(g) The quarterly dividend periods with respect to dividends shall commence on and include January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 (other than the initial Dividend Period, which shall commence on and include the Closing Date) and shall end on and include the last calendar day of the calendar quarter ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 preceding the next Dividend Payment Date (each such period, a “Dividend Period”).

(h) For purposes of determining whether funds are legally available for any dividends pursuant to this Section 3, the assets of the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be valued at the highest amount permissible under applicable law.

(i) In the event that the Corporation makes payment of any portion of the Dividends due pursuant to this Section 3 for any Dividend Period in the form of PIK Election Dividends, then effective for such Dividend Period for which any PIK Election Dividends are paid, from the date of the PIK Election Notice and continuing through the end of the next two succeeding Dividend Periods, the Corporation shall be prohibited from repurchasing, redeeming or paying dividends on any shares of Junior Stock other than Permitted Deemed Stock Repurchases (as defined below). Additionally, in the event that the Corporation does not make payment, pursuant to Section 3(d), of any portion of the dividends due pursuant to this Section 3 for any Dividend Period on the applicable Dividend Payment Date, then effective for such Dividend Period in which all or a portion of such dividends are not paid on the applicable Dividend Payment Date, from the Dividend Payment Date for such Dividend Period and

2

continuing through the end of the two succeeding Dividend Periods following the payment in full of the Additional PIK Dividends, the Corporation shall be prohibited from repurchasing, redeeming or paying dividends on any shares of Junior Stock other than Permitted Deemed Stock Repurchases.

After payment of the full amount of such liquidating distribution, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed retired and Holders shall not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation.

(b) On the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall make a liquidating distribution to the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders upon any Liquidation Event shall be insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on any Parity Stock, if any, Holders and the holders of such Parity Stock, if any, shall share ratably in any distribution of assets of the Corporation in proportion to the full respective liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

(c) To the maximum extent that any liquidating distribution is made in a combination of cash and property other than cash, the liquidating distributions to the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made in cash to the maximum extent possible, in preference and priority to the liquidating distribution payable to any other Stock, other than Parity Stock, if any, (in which case, such distribution in cash shall be made pro rata) or Senior Stock, if any. Whenever the distribution provided for in this Section 4 shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(d) In any case in which the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote or consent pursuant to this Section 5 or pursuant to Georgia law, each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote or consent with respect to such matter shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held.

(e) Any action as to which a vote of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock is required pursuant to the terms herein may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Holders of outstanding Stock of Series A Preferred Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation.

(b) Upon each Mandatory Redemption Date, cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Redemption Price for all such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed as a result of such Mandatory Redemption Event shall be segregated in a deposit account of the Corporation created and used solely for such purpose.

8. Mechanics of Mandatory Redemption.

(c) On or after the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates evidencing such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price and thereupon the Corporation shall pay, or cause to be paid, the full Redemption Price for the shares so surrendered in cash, provided that if a certificate is not surrendered by a Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by such certificate but such Holder delivers an affidavit to the Corporation stating that the certificate or certificates representing its shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation for any loss incurred by it in connection with such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate(s), payment of the full Redemption Price shall be made to such Holder. If fewer than all the shares represented by any such surrendered certificate or certificates are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.

9. Optional Redemption.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the Optional Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Series A Preferred Stock, and that on and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares.

(b) Any notice which is sent to a Holder as herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock receives such notice; and failure to give such notice, or any defect in such notice, to the Holders of any shares designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(c) On or after the Optional Redemption Date as stated in such notice, each Holder of the shares called for redemption shall surrender the certificate (or certificates) evidencing such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price and thereupon the Corporation shall pay, or cause to be paid, the full Redemption Price for the shares so surrendered in cash, provided that if a certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock is not surrendered by a Holder of record, but such Holder delivers an affidavit to the Corporation stating that the certificate or certificates representing its shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation for any loss incurred by it in connection with such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, payment of the full Redemption Price shall be made to such Holder. If fewer than all the shares represented by any such surrendered certificate or certificates are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, any notice of redemption delivered pursuant to this Section 10 shall be deemed to be conditioned upon such redemption being permitted under the Financing Documentation on the Optional Redemption Date, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to make payment of the Redemption Price to the extent such payment is not then permitted under the Financing Documentation.

11. Transfer.

(a) Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 11 and under applicable Law, shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be freely transferable only upon the prior written consent of the Corporation, with such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld; provided that (i) any conditioning, delaying or withholding of consent to a proposed Transfer to an Activist Fund or any transferee that is primarily engaged in television broadcasting or digital media publishing will not be deemed to be unreasonable and (ii) no prior written consent would be required with respect to a Transfer to an Affiliate of the transferring Holder so long as such Affiliate is not primarily engaged in television broadcasting or digital media publishing (except that the requirements with respect to such businesses will not apply to the extent the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are not engaged in such businesses as of the time of the Transfer) and such Affiliate is not an Activist Fund.
