Jacor Communications, Inc. ("Jacor") may from time to time offer (i)
convertible debt securities consisting of debentures, notes or other evidences
of indebtedness representing unsecured obligations of Jacor, which may be either

Preferred Stock (as defined below) or other debt securities issued hereunder
(the "Jacor Convertible Debt Securities"), (ii) shares of Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Jacor Preferred Stock"), which may be issued in the
form of depositary shares evidenced by depositary receipts (the "Jacor

Securities which are convertible or exchangeable into Jacor Common Stock or

RISK FACTORS
IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
IN THIS PROSPECTUS OR THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT, PROSPECTIVE
INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS BEFORE PURCHASING THE
SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY.
RISKS OF ACQUISITION STRATEGY. Jacor intends to pursue growth through the
opportunistic acquisition of broadcasting companies, radio station groups,
individual radio stations and entities that provide services to radio station
groups or individual radio stations. In this regard, Jacor routinely reviews
such acquisition opportunities. Jacor believes that currently there are
available a number of acquisition opportunities that would be complementary to
its business. Jacor cannot predict whether it will be successful in pursuing
such acquisition opportunities or what the consequences of any such acquisition
would be.
The receipt of certain federal and state governmental or regulatory
approvals is required in order to consummate the acquisitions, including
approvals or waivers from the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"),
and, if certain criteria are met, the expiration of or termination of the
applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements
Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), as enforced by the Antitrust Division
of the Department of Justice (the "Antitrust Division"). With regard to each
proposed acquisition, Jacor will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such
approvals or waivers, but there can be no assurance that (i) the FCC will
approve the transfer of the broadcast licenses in connection with each proposed
transaction; (ii) the FCC or a court would affirm the FCC consent to the
proposed transaction if such review is undertaken; (iii) the HSR Act waiting
periods with respect to the various proposed transactions will expire without
objections being raised by either the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") or
the Antitrust Division that would not be eliminated without substantial changes
to the terms of the applicable proposed transactions; or (iv) Jacor will be
successful in consummating various proposed transactions in a timely manner or
on the terms originally agreed upon by the parties to the transactions.
Jacor's acquisition strategy involves numerous risks, including difficulties
in the integration of operations and systems, the diversion of management's
attention from other business concerns and the potential loss of key employees
of acquired stations. There can be no assurance that Jacor's management will be
able to manage effectively the resulting business or that such acquisitions will
benefit Jacor.
Future acquisitions also may involve the expenditure of significant funds.
Depending upon the nature, size and timing of future acquisitions, Jacor may be
required to raise additional financing. There is no assurance that such
additional financing will be available to Jacor on acceptable terms.
INCREASED ANTITRUST SCRUTINY. Subsequent to the passage of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Telecom Act") on February 8, 1996, the
radio broadcast industry has been subject to an increased amount of scrutiny by
the Antitrust Division. Such scrutiny caused Jacor to experience delays and
increased costs in closing several transactions and also compelled changes in
the proposed terms of several acquisitions. Jacor could experience similar
delays, increased costs, and compelled changes in connection with future
transactions.
Although Jacor does not believe that antitrust considerations will adversely
affect Jacor's ability to successfully implement its business strategy, the
effects of the Antitrust Division's heightened level of scrutiny on the radio
broadcast industry and on Jacor are uncertain. There can be no assurance that
these concerns will not negatively impact Jacor.
FCC REGULATION OF BROADCASTING INDUSTRY. The broadcasting industry is
subject to extensive regulation by the FCC which, among other things, requires
approval for the issuance, renewal, transfer and assignment of broadcasting
station operating licenses, limits the number of broadcasting properties Jacor
may acquire and regulates the operations of broadcasting stations. Additionally,
in certain circumstances, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Communications Act"), and FCC rules will operate to impose limitations on alien
ownership and voting of the capital stock of Jacor. The FCC is considering
changes to its rules in response to the Telecom Act and other industry
developments. There can be no assurance that any such rule changes will not
negatively impact Jacor's operations in the future.
4
Jacor's business will be dependent upon maintaining its broadcasting
licenses issued by the FCC, which are issued currently for a maximum term of
five years for television and seven years for radio. Although it is rare for the
FCC to deny a renewal application, there can be no assurance that the pending or
future renewal applications will be approved, or that such renewals will not
include conditions or qualifications that could adversely affect Jacor's
operations. Moreover, governmental regulations and policies may change over time
and there can be no assurance that such changes would not have a material
adverse impact upon Jacor's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
COMPETITION; BUSINESS RISKS. Broadcasting is a highly competitive business.
Jacor's radio and television stations compete for audiences and advertising
revenues directly with other radio and television stations, as well as with
other media, such as newspapers, magazines, cable television, outdoor
advertising, and direct mail, within their respective geographic areas. Audience
ratings and revenue shares are subject to change and any adverse change in a
particular geographic area could have a material and adverse effect on the
revenue of stations located in that geographic area. Future operations are
further subject to many variables which could have an adverse effect upon
Jacor's financial performance. These variables include economic conditions, both
generally and relative to the broadcasting industry; shifts in population and
other demographics; the level of competition for advertising dollars with other
radio stations, television stations, and other entertainment and communications
media; fluctuations in operating costs; technological changes and innovations;
changes in labor conditions; and changes in governmental regulations and
policies and actions of federal regulatory bodies. Although Jacor believes that
each of its stations is able to compete effectively in its respective broadcast
area, there can be no assurance that any such stations will be able to maintain
or increase its current audience ratings and advertising revenues.
SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE AND LIMITED FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY. Jacor's outstanding
indebtedness and its offering of any debt securities hereunder may have the
following important consequences: (i) significant interest expense and principal
repayment obligations resulting in substantial annual fixed charges; (ii)
significant limitations on Jacor's ability to obtain additional debt financing;
and (iii) increased vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry
conditions. In addition, Jacor's existing and anticipated credit facilities have
or will have a number of financial covenants, including interest coverage, debt
service coverage and a maximum ratio of debt to earnings before other expenses
(income), interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
SHARE OWNERSHIP BY ZELL/CHILMARK. Zell/Chilmark Fund L.P. ("Zell/Chilmark")
holds approximately 13,349,720 shares of the outstanding Jacor Common Stock and
is Jacor's largest stockholder as of the date hereof. The large share ownership
of Zell/Chilmark may have the effect of discouraging certain types of
transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of Jacor,
including transactions in which the holders of Jacor Common Stock might
otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices.
Subject to certain restrictions under the Securities Act, Zell/Chilmark is
free to sell shares of Jacor Common Stock from time to time for any reason. By
virtue of its current control of Jacor, Zell/Chilmark could sell large amounts
of Jacor Common Stock by causing Jacor to file a registration statement with
respect to such stock. In addition, Zell/Chilmark could sell its shares of Jacor
Common Stock without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Jacor can make no prediction as to the effect, if any, that such sales of shares
of Jacor Common Stock would have on the prevailing market price. Sales of
substantial amounts of Jacor Common Stock, or the availability of such shares
for sale, could adversely affect prevailing market prices. Sales or transfers of
Jacor Common Stock by Zell/Chilmark could result in another person or entity
becoming the controlling stockholder of Jacor.
LACK OF DIVIDENDS; RESTRICTIONS ON PAYMENTS OF DIVIDENDS. Jacor has not
paid any dividends to its stockholders. Jacor intends to retain all available
earnings, if any, generated by its operations for the development and growth of
its business and does not anticipate paying any dividends on Jacor Common Stock
in the foreseeable future. In addition, the payment of dividends on the Jacor
Common Stock is restricted under Jacor's credit facilities.
KEY PERSONNEL. Jacor's business is dependent upon the performance of
certain key employees, including its Chief Executive Officer and its President.
Jacor employs several on-air personalities with significant
5
loyal audiences in their respective broadcast areas. Jacor generally enters into
long-term employment agreements with its key on-air talent to protect its
interests in those relationships, but there can be no assurance that all such
on-air personalities will remain with Jacor.
POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACT OF OTHER SECURITIES ISSUANCES. Jacor has
authorized for issuance up to 4,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.
The Jacor Board of Directors has the authority, without further vote or action
by Jacor stockholders, to issue the undesignated shares of Jacor Preferred Stock
in one or more series and to fix all rights, qualifications, preferences,
privileges, limitations and restrictions of each such series, including dividend
rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation
preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation
of such series. Although it currently has no plans to do so, the Jacor Board of
Directors, without stockholder approval, can issue Jacor Preferred Stock with
voting and conversion rights which would adversely affect the voting power of
the holders of Jacor Common Stock. In addition, the issuance of Jacor Preferred
Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in
control of Jacor and could therefore have a negative impact on the trading price
of the Jacor Common Stock. Jacor may also issue other types of securities in the
future that may have the same or similar negative effects as the undesignated
preferred stock. See "Description of Capital Stock."
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. This Prospectus sets forth or incorporates by
reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act. Discussions containing such forward-looking statements may be

companies engaged primarily in the radio broadcasting business. Jacor's
strategic objective is to be a leading radio broadcaster by operating multiple
radio station platforms in each of its broadcast areas. Jacor and JCC also own
and operate, through their subsidiaries, one television station in Cincinnati,

USE OF PROCEEDS
Jacor does not currently have specific plans for the use of the net proceeds
from the sale of Securities offered hereby. However, Jacor currently anticipates
that any such net proceeds would be used for general corporate purposes, which
may include but are not limited to working capital, capital expenditures,
repayment of indebtedness, investments and acquisitions. When a particular
series of Securities is offered, the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto will
set forth Jacor's intended use for the net proceeds received from the sale of
such Securities. Pending the application of the net proceeds, Jacor expects to
invest such proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing instruments or other
investment-grade securities.

DESCRIPTION OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT SECURITIES AND JCC DEBT SECURITIES
The Jacor Convertible Debt Securities are to be issued under an Indenture
(the "Jacor Indenture") between Jacor and a trustee to be identified in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement (the "Jacor Trustee"). The JCC Debt Securities
and the JCC Convertible Debt Securities are to be issued under an Indenture (the
"JCC Indenture") between JCC and a trustee to be identified in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement (the "JCC Trustee"). The Jacor Trustee and the JCC Trustee
may be the same trustee. The Jacor Indenture and the JCC Indenture are sometimes
collectively called the "Indentures." The terms of the Indentures will also be
governed by certain provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
The following summary statements with respect to the JCC Debt Securities and the
Convertible Debt Securities do not purport to be complete and are subject to,
and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the detailed provisions of
the
7
Indentures. Although some of the following summary statements collectively refer
to Jacor, JCC, the Subsidiary Guarantors and other parties, such statements
concerning each party shall apply to each such party respectively and the
applicable Indentures, unless otherwise noted. Capitalized terms are defined in
the Indentures unless otherwise defined herein. Whenever any particular section
of the Indentures or any term defined therein is referred to, such section or
definition is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the form of Indentures
is available upon request.
GENERAL
The JCC Debt Securities and the Convertible Debt Securities offered hereby
will be limited to an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed
$250,000,000. The Jacor Indenture will not limit the amount of Jacor Convertible
Debt Securities which can be issued thereunder and will provide that additional
Jacor Convertible Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series thereunder
up to the aggregate principal amount which may be authorized from time to time
by Jacor's Board of Directors. The JCC Indenture will not limit the amount of
JCC Debt Securities or JCC Convertible Debt Securities which can be issued
thereunder and will provide that additional JCC Debt Securities or JCC
Convertible Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series thereunder up to
the aggregate principal amount which may be authorized from time to time by
JCC's Board of Directors. The Jacor Convertible Debt Securities, the JCC
Convertible Debt Securities and the JCC Debt Securities will be unsecured
obligations of Jacor or JCC, respectively, and to the extent as may be permitted
under Jacor's and JCC's then-existing loan agreements and indentures, will rank
either senior to or equally and ratably with all other unsecured indebtedness of
JCC. The Jacor Convertible Debt Securities, the JCC Convertible Debt Securities
and the JCC Debt Securities also may be subordinate, and junior in right of
payment to all Senior Debt, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the
respective Indenture. See "Subordination."
The JCC Debt Securities and JCC Convertible Debt Securities will be jointly
and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior
subordinated basis by Jacor and may be further guaranteed by certain
subsidiaries of JCC (the "Subsidiary Guarantors," and collectively with Jacor,
the "Guarantors"). The obligations of each Guarantor under its guarantee,
however, will be limited in a manner intended to avoid such guarantee being
deemed a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Fraudulent Transfer
Considerations" below.

following terms, where applicable, of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC
Debt Securities: (i) the specific designation of the Convertible Debt Securities
or JCC Debt Securities; (ii) the denominations in which such Convertible Debt
Securities or JCC Debt Securities are authorized to be issued; (iii) the

(xi) the obligation, if any, of Jacor or JCC to redeem or purchase such
Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities pursuant to any sinking fund
or analogous provisions, upon the happening of a specified event or at the
option of a holder thereof and the period or periods within which, the price or
prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which, such Convertible Debt
Securities or JCC Debt Securities shall be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in
part, pursuant to such obligations; (xii) the terms and conditions upon which
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Debt Securities will be effected,
including the exchange terms, the conversion price, the
8
conversion period and other conversion or exchange provisions in addition to or
in lieu of those described below; (xiii) if other than the principal amount
thereof, the portion of the principal amount of such Convertible Debt Securities
or JCC Debt Securities which will be payable upon declaration of the

any Event of Default or any covenant of Jacor or JCC specified in the Indenture
with respect to such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities; (xvi)
the application, if any, of such means of defeasance or covenant defeasance as
may be specified for such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities;
(xvii) whether such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities are to be
issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more temporary or permanent
global securities and, if so, the identity of the depositary for such global
security or securities; (xviii) whether such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC
Debt Securities shall be subordinated and subject to the right to prior payment
in full of all Senior Debt, including the then-existing credit facilities; and
(xix) any other special terms pertaining to such Convertible Debt Securities or
JCC Debt Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement, the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities will not be
listed on any securities exchange. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement, principal and premium, if any, or interest, if any, will
be payable and the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities may be
surrendered for payment or transferred at the offices of the applicable Trustee
as paying and authenticating agent, provided that payment of interest on
Registered Securities may be made at the option of Jacor or JCC, as applicable,
by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears in
the Security Register. Payment of Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt
Securities in bearer form will be made at such paying agencies outside of the
United States as Jacor or JCC, as applicable, may appoint.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the
Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities will be issued in fully
registered form without coupons in denominations set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of such
Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, but Jacor or JCC, as
applicable, may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Where Convertible Debt
Securities and JCC Debt Securities of any series are issued in bearer form, the
special restrictions and considerations, including special offering restrictions
and special Federal income tax considerations, applicable to any such
Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities and to payment on and
transfer and exchange of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities
will be described in the Prospectus Supplement. Bearer Convertible Debt
Securities and JCC Debt Securities will be transferrable by delivery.
Some of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities may be
issued at a discount (bearing no interest or interest at below market rates) to
be sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount. Federal
income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any such
Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities will be described in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement.
The Prospectus Supplement for a particular series may indicate terms for
redemption at the option of a Holder. Unless otherwise indicated in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement, the covenants contained in the Indentures and
the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities (as the case may be)
would not provide for redemption at the option of a Holder nor necessarily
afford Holders thereof protection in the event of a highly leveraged or other
transaction that may adversely affect such Holders.
CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT SECURITIES
The following provisions will further apply to Convertible Debt Securities,
unless otherwise provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement for such
Convertible Debt Securities. The holder of any Convertible Debt Securities will
have the right exercisable at any time prior to maturity, or prior to such other
date as may be specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, unless
previously redeemed by Jacor or JCC, as applicable, to convert such Convertible
Debt Securities into shares of Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock at
the conversion price set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, subject
to adjustment. In the case of Convertible Debt Securities called for redemption,
conversion rights will expire at the close of business on the date fixed for the
redemption unless Jacor or JCC, as applicable, shall default in
9
payment of the redemption price, except that in the case of redemption at the
option of the Holder thereof, if applicable, the conversion right will terminate
upon receipt of written notice of the exercise of such option. In certain
events, the conversion price will be subject to adjustment as set forth in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement. Fractional shares of Jacor Common Stock or
Jacor Preferred Stock will not be issued upon conversion, but, in lieu thereof,
Jacor or JCC, as applicable, will pay a cash adjustment based on the then
current market price for the Jacor Common Stock or Jacor Preferred Stock.
EXCHANGEABILITY
The Holders of Convertible Debt Securities of any series may be obligated at
any time or at maturity to exchange them for Jacor Common Stock, Jacor Preferred
Stock or other debt securities of Jacor issued hereunder. The terms of any such
exchange will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series
of Convertible Debt Securities.
SUBORDINATION
The Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities may be subordinated
and junior in right of payment, to the extent set forth in the applicable
Prospectus Supplement, to all "Senior Debt" of Jacor, JCC or the Guarantors, as
applicable, including the then-existing credit facilities, as set forth in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement.
To the extent the JCC Debt Securities and/or the Convertible Debt Securities
are subordinated to Senior Debt, the Indentures will provide that no payment
(including any payment which may be payable to any Holder by reason of the
subordination of any other indebtedness or other obligations to, or guarantee
of, the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities) or distribution (by
set-off or otherwise) may be made by or on behalf of Jacor, JCC or a Guarantor,
as applicable, on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities (including any
repurchases of Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities) or any other
amounts with respect thereto, or on account of the redemption provisions of the
Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities, for cash or property (other
than Junior Securities), (i) upon the maturity of any Senior Debt of Jacor, JCC
or such Guarantor by lapse of time, acceleration (unless waived) or otherwise,
unless and until all principal of, premium, if any, and the interest on, and all
other amounts with respect to, such Senior Debt are first paid in full in cash
or otherwise to the extent each of the holders of Senior Debt accept
satisfaction of amounts due to such holder by settlement in other than cash, or
(ii) in the event of default in the payment of any principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on, or any other amounts with respect to, Senior Debt of Jacor,
JCC or such Guarantor when it becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at
a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise (each of the
foregoing, a "Payment Default"), unless and until such Payment Default has been
cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist.
Upon (i) the happening of a default (other than a Payment Default) that
permits the holders of Senior Debt (or a percentage thereof) to declare such
Senior Debt to be due and payable and (ii) written notice of such default given
to Jacor, JCC or such Guarantor, as applicable, and the Trustee by
Representative under the then-existing credit facilities or the holders of an
aggregate of at least $25.0 million principal amount outstanding of any other
Senior Debt or their representative at such holders' direction (a "Payment
Notice"), then, unless and until such default has been cured or waived or
otherwise has ceased to exist, no payment (including any payment which may be
payable to any Holder by reason of the subordination of any other indebtedness
or other obligations to, or guarantee of, the Convertible Debt Securities and
JCC Debt Securities) or distribution (by set-off or otherwise) may be made by or
on behalf of Jacor, JCC or any Guarantor which is an obligor under such Senior
Debt on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities (including any repurchases
of any of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities), or any other
amount with respect thereto, or on account of the redemption provisions of the
Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities, in any such case, other
than payments made with Junior Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless
the Senior Debt in respect of which such default exists has been declared due
and payable in its entirety within 179 days after the Payment Notice is
delivered as set forth above (the "Payment Blockage Period") (and such
declaration has not been rescinded or waived), at the end of the Payment
Blockage Period (and assuming that no Payment Default exists), Jacor, JCC and
the Guarantors, as applicable, shall not be prohibited by the
10
subordination provisions from paying all sums then due and not paid to the
Holders of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities during the
Payment Blockage Period due to the foregoing prohibitions and to resume all
other payments as and when due on the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt
Securities. Any number of Payment Notices may be given; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
(i) not more than one Payment Notice shall be given within a period of any 360
consecutive days, and (ii) no default that existed upon the date of delivery of
such Payment Notice (whether or not such default is on the same issue of Senior
Debt) shall be made the basis for the commencement of any other Payment Blockage
Period.
Upon any distribution of assets of Jacor, JCC or any Guarantor upon any
dissolution, winding up, total or partial liquidation or reorganization of
Jacor, JCC or a Guarantor, whether voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or a similar proceeding or upon assignment for the
benefit of creditors or any marshaling of assets or liabilities, (i) the holders
of all Senior Debt of Jacor, JCC or such Guarantor, as applicable, will first be
entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts of Senior Debt in cash or
otherwise to the extent each of such holders accepts satisfaction of amounts due
by settlement in other than cash before the Holders are entitled to receive any
payment (including any payment which may be payable to any Holder by reason of
the subordination of any other indebtedness or other obligations to, or
guarantee of, the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities) or
distribution on account of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, or
any other amounts with respect to, the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt
Securities (other than Junior Securities) and (ii) any payment or distribution
of assets of Jacor, JCC or such Guarantor of any kind or character from any
source, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Junior Securities)
to which the Holders or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders would be entitled
(by set-off or otherwise) except for the subordination provisions contained in
the Indentures, will be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person
making such a payment or distribution directly to the holders of such Senior
Debt or their representative to the extent necessary to make payment in full on
all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of assets of Jacor, JCC or any Guarantor (other than Junior
Securities) shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders at a time when such
payment or distribution is prohibited by the foregoing provisions, such payment
or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of such
Senior Debt, and shall be paid or delivered by the Trustee or such Holders, as
the case may be, to the holders of such Senior Debt remaining unpaid or to their
representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt
may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate principal amounts
remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Debt held or represented by each, for
application to the payment of all such Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the
extent necessary to pay all such Senior Debt in full in cash or otherwise to the
extent each of the holders of such Senior Debt accept satisfaction of amounts
due by settlement in other than cash after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Debt. The Indentures will
contain other customary subordination provisions, including rights of
subrogation and rights to file claims in bankruptcy.
As among Jacor, JCC, the Guarantors and the Holders, no provision contained
in the Indentures or the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities
will affect the obligations of Jacor, JCC and the Guarantors, which are absolute
and unconditional, to pay, when due, principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities. The subordination
provisions of the Indentures and the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt
Securities will not prevent the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
under the Indentures or limit the rights of the Trustee or any Holder to pursue
any other rights or remedies with respect to the Convertible Debt Securities and
JCC Debt Securities.
As a result of these subordination provisions, in the event of the
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar
proceeding or an assignment for the benefit of the creditors of Jacor, JCC or
any of the Guarantors or a marshaling of assets or liabilities of Jacor, JCC or
any of the Guarantors, holders of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt
Securities may receive ratably less than other creditors.
11
Jacor and JCC conduct operations through their subsidiaries. Accordingly,
Jacor's and JCC's ability to meet their cash obligations will be dependent upon
the ability of their subsidiaries to make cash distributions to Jacor and JCC,
respectively. Furthermore, any right of Jacor or JCC to receive the assets of
any such subsidiary upon such subsidiary's liquidation or reorganization
effectively will be subordinated by operation of law to the claims of such
subsidiary's creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of such
subsidiary's preferred stock, except to the extent that Jacor or JCC, as
applicable, is itself recognized as a creditor or preferred stockholder of such
subsidiary, in which case the claims of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, would still
be subordinate to any indebtedness or preferred stock of such subsidiary senior
in right of payment to that held by Jacor or JCC, as applicable.
FRAUDULENT TRANSFER CONSIDERATIONS
Generally, under various state and federal fraudulent transfer or fraudulent
conveyance laws (collectively, "the Fraudulent Transfer Laws"), a Guarantor's
obligations under the Guarantee of the JCC Debt Securities and/or the
Convertible Debt Securities could be avoided if a court in a lawsuit by an
unpaid creditor of a Guarantor or a representative of such creditors (such as a
trustee in bankruptcy or JCC as debtor-in-possession) were to find that (i) the
Guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in
exchange for the obligation created by the applicable Convertible Debt
Securities or JCC Debt Securities and (ii) at the time of the issuance of such
Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the Guarantor (A) was
insolvent or became insolvent as a result of the incurrence of the obligations
represented by such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, (B) was
engaged, or was about to be engaged, in a business or transaction for which the
property remaining with it was an unreasonably small capital or for which its
unencumbered assets constituted unreasonably small capital, or (C) intended to
incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as such
debts matured.
A court could conclude that a Guarantor did not receive reasonably
equivalent value or fair consideration to the extent that such Guarantor's
liability on its guarantee exceeds the economic benefits that it receives in the
offering of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities. Were a
court to so find, the court could avoid the Guarantor's obligation under its
guarantee and direct the return of amounts paid thereunder if one or more of the
conditions set forth in subparagraphs (ii)(A), (B), or (C) above were also met
as to such Guarantor. Management believes, however, that the Guarantees will be
structured so as to minimize the likelihood that a court would find that the
Guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for
its Guarantee (the "Savings Clause"). No assurance, however, can be given that a
court would uphold such a fraudulent transfer Savings Clause. Moreover, there
can be no assurance that a court would not limit a Guarantee to an amount equal
to the proceeds actually received by any given Guarantor from the offering of
such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities.
The determination of insolvency for purposes of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws
may vary depending upon the law of the jurisdiction being applied. Generally,
however, an entity is insolvent if (i) the sum of its debts (including
unliquidated or contingent debts) is greater than all of its property, at a fair
valuation or (ii) the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the
amount that will be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts
as they become absolute and matured. Additionally, under certain state
Fraudulent Transfer Laws, an entity is presumed to be insolvent if it is
generally not paying its debts as they become due.
Furthermore, a court could avoid Jacor's obligations under the Jacor
Convertible Debt Securities, JCC's obligations under the JCC Debt Securities
and/or JCC Convertible Debt Securities and the Guarantors' obligations under
their respective Guarantees without regard to the solvency, capitalization and
other conditions described in clauses (ii)(A), (B), and (C) above if it finds
that the obligations created by such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt
Securities or the Guarantees were incurred with actual intent to hinder, delay,
or defraud now existing or future creditors. If the obligations under such
Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities were to be avoided, there can
be no assurance that the recoveries under the Guarantees would be sufficient to
pay the outstanding amounts due and owing under such Convertible Debt Securities
or JCC Debt Securities. Moreover, if the obligations of one or more Guarantors
were to be avoided, there can be no assurance that the remaining Guarantees
would be sufficient to ensure payment in full on such Convertible Debt
Securities or JCC Debt Securities.
12
CERTAIN COVENANTS
REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL
The Indentures will provide that in the event that a Change of Control has
occurred, each Holder of Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities will
have the right, at such Holder's option, pursuant to an irrevocable and
unconditional offer by Jacor or JCC , as applicable, (the "Change of Control
Offer"), to require Jacor or JCC, as applicable, to repurchase all or any part
of such Holder's Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities (PROVIDED,
that the principal amount of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt
Securities must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) on a date (the
"Change of Control Purchase Date") that is no later than 35 Business Days after
the occurrence of such Change of Control, at a cash price (the "Change of
Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, together
with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of Control Purchase
Date. The Change of Control Offer shall be made within 10 Business Days
following a Change of Control and shall remain open for 20 Business Days
following its commencement (the "Change of Control Offer Period"). Upon
expiration of the Change of Control Offer Period, Jacor or JCC, as applicable,
promptly shall purchase all Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities
properly tendered in response to the Change of Control Offer.
As used herein, (a) prior to the earlier of (x) the maturity of the 1994
9 3/4% Notes (as defined herein), (y) the date upon which defeasance of the 1994
9 3/4% Notes becomes effective, and (z) the date on which there are no longer
any 1994 9 3/4% Notes outstanding under the terms of the governing indenture
(each a "1994 9 3/4% Note Event"), a "Change of Control" means any transaction
or series of transactions in which any of the following occurs: (i) any person
or group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the

direct or indirect "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act) of (A) greater than 50% of the total voting power (on a fully
diluted basis as if all convertible securities had been converted) entitled to
vote in the election of directors of JCC or CitiCo, or the surviving person (if
other than Jacor), or (B) greater than 20% of the total voting power (on a fully
diluted basis as if all convertible securities had been converted) entitled to
vote in the election of directors of JCC or CitiCo, or the surviving person (if
other than JCC), and such person or group has the ability to elect, directly or
indirectly, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of JCC; or (ii)

its Capital Stock or all or substantially all of the assets of JCC or CitiCo are
sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred, leased or otherwise disposed of to any
person as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in one transaction or a
series of related transactions and the effect of such consolidation, merger,
issuance or sale is as described in clause (i) above. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred by virtue of
(I) JCC or any of its employee benefit or stock plans filing (or being required
to file after the lapse of time) a Schedule 13D or 14D-1 (or any successor or
similar schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act) or (II) the purchase by
one or more underwriters of Capital Stock of JCC in connection with a Public
Offering; and (b) upon and following a 1994 9 3/4% Note Event, a "Change of
Control" will mean (i) any merger or consolidation of JCC with or into any
person or any sale, transfer or other conveyance, whether direct or indirect, of
all or substantially all of any of the assets of JCC, on a consolidated basis,
in one transaction or a series of related transactions, if, immediately after
giving effect to such transaction(s), any "person" or "group" (as such terms are
used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or
not applicable) (other than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial
owner," directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in
the aggregate normally entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers,
or trustees, as applicable, of the transferee(s) or surviving entity or
entities, (ii) any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used for purposes of
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable) (other
than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or
indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in the aggregate of all
classes of Capital Stock of JCC then outstanding normally entitled to vote in
elections of directors, or (iii) during any period of 12 consecutive months
after the Issue Date, individuals who at the beginning of any such 12-month
period constituted the Board of Directors of JCC (together with any new
directors whose election by such Board or whose nomination for election by the
shareholders of JCC was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors
13
then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period
or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease
for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of JCC then in
office.
On or before the Change of Control Purchase Date, Jacor or JCC, as
applicable, will (i) accept for payment Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt
Securities or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to pay the
Change of Control Purchase Price (together with accrued and unpaid interest) of
all Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities so tendered and (iii)
deliver to the Trustee Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities so
accepted together with an Officers' Certificate listing the Convertible Debt
Securities or JCC Debt Securities or portions thereof being purchased by Jacor
or JCC, as applicable. The Paying Agent promptly will pay the Holders of
Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities so accepted an amount equal
to the Change of Control Purchase Price (together with accrued and unpaid
interest), and the Trustee promptly will authenticate and deliver to such
Holders a new Convertible Debt Security or JCC Debt Security equal in principal
amount to any unpurchased portion of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt
Securities surrendered. Any Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities
not so accepted will be delivered promptly by Jacor or JCC, as applicable, to
the Holder thereof. Jacor or JCC, as applicable, publicly will announce the
results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the
Change of Control Purchase Date.
A change of control under the indenture which governs each of the
Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the 1994 9 3/4% Notes, the
1996 10 1/8% Notes, the LYONs (as defined herein) and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes will
result in a default under the Credit Facility (as defined herein). Additionally,
unless Jacor and/or JCC, as applicable, is successful in seeking consents from
its lenders under the Credit Facility to permit change of control repurchase
offers for each of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the
1994 9 3/4% Notes, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, the LYONs or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes or
Jacor and/or JCC, as applicable, is successful in refinancing such borrowings,
such event of default under the Credit Facility would constitute an event of
default under each of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities,
the 1994 9 3/4% Notes, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, the LYONs and the 1996 9 3/4%
Notes. Such events of default could result in the immediate acceleration of all
then outstanding indebtedness under each of the Convertible Debt Securities or
JCC Debt Securities, the 1994 9 3/4% Notes, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, the LYONs
and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes. As a result, differences in the definitions of change
of control under the indentures for the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt
Securities, the 1994 9 3/4% Notes, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, the LYONs and the
1996 9 3/4% Notes will not have a difference in the effect on Jacor or JCC , as
applicable, or the respective holders other than where the lenders under the
Credit Facility have waived such event of default. In the event of such waiver
there could be a change of control under the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC
Debt Securities, the 1994 9 3/4% Notes, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996
9 3/4% Notes which would not result in a change of control under the LYONs or
VICE VERSA. See "Description of Indebtedness."
The Change of Control purchase feature of the Convertible Debt Securities or
JCC Debt Securities may make more difficult or discourage a takeover of Jacor or
JCC, and, thus, the removal of incumbent management.
The phrase "all or substantially all" of the assets of Jacor or JCC, as
applicable, will likely be interpreted under applicable state law and will be
dependent upon particular facts and circumstances. As a result, there may be a
degree of uncertainty in ascertaining whether a sale or transfer of "all or
substantially all" of the assets of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, has occurred.
In addition, no assurance can be given that Jacor or JCC, as applicable, will be
able to acquire Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities tendered upon
the occurrence of a Change of Control.
Any Change of Control Offer will be made in compliance with all applicable
laws, rules and regulations, including, if applicable, Regulation 14E under the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder and all other applicable Federal and state
securities laws.
LIMITATION ON INCURRENCE OF ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS AND DISQUALIFIED CAPITAL
STOCK
The Indentures will provide that, except as set forth below in this
covenant, Jacor, JCC and any Subsidiary Guarantors will not, and will not permit
any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, issue,
14
assume, guaranty, incur, become directly or indirectly liable with respect to
(including as a result of an Acquisition), or otherwise become responsible for,
contingently or otherwise (individually and collectively, to "incur" or, as
appropriate, an "incurrence"), any Indebtedness or any Disqualified Capital
Stock (including Acquired Indebtedness) other than Permitted Indebtedness.
Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, Jacor or JCC may incur Indebtedness
and Disqualified Capital Stock in addition to Permitted Indebtedness: if (i) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time
of, or would occur after giving effect on a PRO FORMA basis to, such incurrence
of Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock and (ii) on the date of such
incurrence (the "Incurrence Date"), the Leverage Ratio of JCC for the Reference
Period immediately preceding the Incurrence Date, after giving effect on a pro
forma basis to such incurrence of such Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital
Stock and, to the extent set forth in the definition of Leverage Ratio, the use
of proceeds thereof, would be less than the ratio specified in the Indentures.
Indebtedness or Disqualified Capital Stock of any person which is
outstanding at the time such person becomes a Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC
(including upon designation of any subsidiary or other person as a Subsidiary)
or is merged with or into or consolidated with Jacor or JCC or a Subsidiary of
Jacor or JCC, respectively, shall be deemed to have been incurred at the time
such Person becomes such a Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC, respectively, or is
merged with or into or consolidated with Jacor or JCC, respectively, or a
Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC, as applicable.
LIMITATION ON RESTRICTED PAYMENTS
The Indentures will provide that Jacor and JCC and their Subsidiaries will
not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
make any Restricted Payment if, after giving effect to such Restricted Payment
on a PRO FORMA basis, (1) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, (2) Jacor and JCC is not permitted to incur at least $1.00 of
additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio described in the covenant
"Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Disqualified Capital
Stock," or (3) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made by Jacor and
JCC and their Subsidiaries, including after giving effect to such proposed
Restricted Payment, from and after the Issue Date, would exceed the amount
specified in the Indentures.
The foregoing clauses (2) and (3) of the immediately preceding paragraph,
however, will not prohibit (w) payments to Jacor to reimburse Jacor for
reasonable and necessary corporate and administrative expenses, (x) Restricted
Investments, provided, that, after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted
Investment, the aggregate amount of all such Restricted Investments made on or
after the Issue Date that are outstanding (after giving effect to any such
Restricted Investments that are returned to JCC or the Subsidiary Guarantor that
made such prior Restricted Investment, without restriction, in cash on or prior
to the date of any such calculation) at any time does not exceed an amount
specified in the Indentures, (y) a Qualified Exchange, and (z) the payment of
any dividend on Qualified Capital Stock within 60 days after the date of its
declaration if such dividend could have been made on the date of such
declaration in compliance with the foregoing provisions.
LIMITATION ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING
SUBSIDIARIES
The Indentures will provide that Jacor, JCC and their Subsidiaries will not,
and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, create, assume or suffer to
exist any consensual restriction on the ability of any Subsidiary of Jacor or
JCC to pay dividends or make other distributions to or on behalf of, or to pay
any obligation to or on behalf of, or otherwise to transfer assets or property
to or on behalf of, or make or pay loans or advances to or on behalf of, Jacor
or JCC or any Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC, respectively, except (a) restrictions
imposed by the JCC Debt Securities, the Convertible Debt Securities or the
Indenture, (b) restrictions imposed by applicable law, (c) existing restrictions
under specified Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date, (d) restrictions
under any Acquired Indebtedness not incurred in violation of the Indentures or
any agreement relating to any property, asset, or business acquired by Jacor,
JCC or any of their Subsidiaries, which restrictions in each case existed at the
time of acquisition, were not put in place in connection with or in anticipation
of such acquisition and are not applicable to any person, other than the person
acquired, or to any property, asset or business, other than the property, assets
and business so acquired, (e) any such restriction or requirement imposed by
Indebtedness incurred under paragraph (f) under the definition of Permitted
Indebtedness, provided such restriction or requirement is no more
15
restrictive than that imposed by Jacor's or JCC's, as applicable, credit
facilities in effect as of the Issue Date, (f) restrictions with respect solely
to a Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC imposed pursuant to a binding agreement which
has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of
the Equity Interests or assets of such Subsidiary, provided such restrictions
apply solely to the Equity Interests or assets of such Subsidiary which are
being sold, and (g) in connection with and pursuant to permitted Refinancings,
replacements of restrictions imposed pursuant to clauses (a), (c) or (d) of this
paragraph that are not more restrictive than those being replaced and do not
apply to any other person or assets than those that would have been covered by
the restrictions in the Indebtedness so refinanced. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither (a) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment
of any lease entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with
industry practice, or other standard non-assignment clauses in contracts entered
into in the ordinary course of business, (b) Capital Leases or agreements
governing purchase money Indebtedness which contain restrictions of the type
referred to above with respect to the property covered thereby, nor (c) Liens
permitted under the terms of the Indenture on assets securing Senior Debt
incurred pursuant to the Leverage Ratio in accordance with the covenant
described under "Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and
Disqualified Capital Stock" or permitted pursuant to the definition of Permitted
Indebtedness shall in and of themselves be considered a restriction on the
ability of the applicable Subsidiary to transfer such agreement or assets, as
the case may be.
LIMITATIONS ON LAYERING INDEBTEDNESS; LIENS
The Indentures will provide that Jacor, JCC and their Subsidiaries will not,
and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur,
or, other than with respect to the 1996 10 1/8% Notes, suffer to exist (a) any
Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness
of Jacor, JCC or a Guarantor unless, by its terms, such Indebtedness (i) has a
maturity date subsequent to the Stated Maturity of the respective Convertible
Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities and an Average Life longer than that of
such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities and (ii) is subordinate
in right of payment to, or ranks PARI PASSU with, such JCC Debt Securities,
Convertible Debt Securities or the Guarantees, as applicable, or (b) other than
Permitted Liens, any Lien upon any of its property or assets, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired, or upon any income or profits therefrom securing
Indebtedness other than (1) Liens securing Senior Debt incurred pursuant to the
Leverage Ratio in accordance with the covenant described under "Limitation on
Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Disqualified Capital Stock" and (2)
Liens securing Senior Debt incurred as permitted pursuant to the definition of
Permitted Indebtedness.
LIMITATION ON SALE OF ASSETS AND SUBSIDIARY STOCK
The Indentures will provide that Jacor, JCC and their Subsidiaries will not,
and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, in one or a series of related
transactions, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, any of its property,
business or assets, including by merger or consolidation (in the case of a
Guarantor or a Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC), and including any sale or other
transfer or issuance of any Equity Interests of any direct or indirect
Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC, whether by Jacor or JCC or a direct or indirect
Subsidiary thereof (an "Asset Sale"), unless (1) within 450 days after the date
of such Asset Sale, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom (the "Asset Sale Offer
Amount") are (a) applied to the optional redemption of the Convertible Debt
Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities in accordance with the terms of the
Indentures or to the repurchase of the Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC
Debt Securities pursuant to an irrevocable, unconditional cash offer (the "Asset
Sale Offer") to repurchase Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt
Securities at a purchase price (the "Asset Sale Offer Price") of 100% of
principal amount, plus accrued interest to the date of payment, (b) invested in
assets and property (other than notes, bonds, obligations and securities) which
in the good faith reasonable judgment of the Board of Jacor or JCC, as
applicable, will immediately constitute or be a part of a Related Business of
Jacor or JCC, as applicable, or a Subsidiary (if it continues to be a
Subsidiary) immediately following such transaction or (c) used to permanently
retire or reduce Senior Debt or Indebtedness permitted pursuant to paragraphs
(d), (e) or (f) under the definition of Permitted Indebtedness (including that
in the case of a revolver or similar arrangement that makes credit available,
such commitment is so permanently reduced by such amount), (2) with respect to
any Asset Sale or related series of Asset Sales involving securities, property
or assets with an aggregate fair market value in excess of $2.5 million, at
least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale or series of related Asset
Sales (excluding the
16
amount of (A) any Indebtedness (other than the Convertible Debt Securities
and/or JCC Debt Securities) that is required to be repaid or assumed (and is
either repaid or assumed by the transferee of the related assets) by virtue of
such Asset Sale and which is secured by a Lien on the property or asset sold and
(B) property received by Jacor or JCC, as applicable, or any such Subsidiary
from the transferee that within 90 days of such Asset Sale is converted into
cash or Cash Equivalents) consists of cash or Cash Equivalents (other than in
the case of an Asset Swap or where Jacor or JCC, as applicable, is exchanging
all or substantially all the assets of one or more Related Businesses operated
by Jacor or JCC, as applicable, or its Subsidiaries (including by way of the
transfer of capital stock) for all or substantially all the assets (including by
way of the transfer of capital stock) constituting one or more Related
Businesses operated by another person, in which event the foregoing requirement
with respect to the receipt of cash or Cash Equivalents shall not apply), (3) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time
of, or would occur after giving effect, on a PRO FORMA basis, to, such Asset
Sale, and (4) the Board of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, determines in good faith
that Jacor or JCC, as applicable, or such Subsidiary, as applicable, receives
fair market value for such Asset Sale.
The Indentures will provide that an Asset Sale Offer may be deferred until
the accumulated Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales not applied to the uses set
forth in (1)(b) or (1)(c) above (the "Excess Proceeds") exceeds $5.0 million and
that each Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for 20 Business Days following its
commencement and no longer (the "Asset Sale Offer Period"). Upon expiration of
the Asset Sale Offer Period, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, shall apply the Asset
Sale Offer Amount plus an amount equal to accrued interest to the purchase of
all Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities properly tendered (on
a PRO RATA basis if the Asset Sale Offer Amount is insufficient to purchase all
Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities so tendered) at the Asset
Sale Offer Price (together with accrued interest). To the extent that the
aggregate amount of Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities
tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Asset Sale Offer
Amount, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, may use any remaining Net Cash Proceeds for
general corporate purposes as otherwise permitted by the Indentures and
following each Asset Sale Offer the Excess Proceeds amount shall be reset to
zero. If required by applicable law, the Asset Sale Offer Period may be extended
as so required, however, if so extended it shall nevertheless constitute an
Event of Default if within 60 Business Days of its commencement the Asset Sale
Offer is not consummated or the properly tendered Convertible Debt Securities
and/or JCC Debt Securities are not purchased pursuant thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the first paragraph of this
covenant the Indentures will provide that with respect to an Asset Sale Offer,
Jacor or JCC, as applicable, will not be permitted to commence an Asset Sale
Offer for the Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities until such
time as an Asset Sale Offer for the 1994 9 3/4% Notes, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes
and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes in each case if required, has been completed. To the
extent that any Excess Proceeds remain after expiration of an Asset Sale Offer
Period for the 1994 9 3/4% Notes the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4%
Notes, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, may use the remaining Net Cash Proceeds to
commence an Asset Sale Offer for the Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt
Securities; PROVIDED, that the amount of Net Cash Proceeds used for such Asset
Sale Offer for the Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities shall
not exceed the amount permitted under the Redemption from the Proceeds on Asset
Sales and Limitation on Restricted Payments covenants set forth in the indenture
governing the 1994 9 3/4% Notes and with respect to the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and
the 1996 9 3/4% Notes the amount required under the covenant Limitation on Sale
of Assets and Subsidiary Stock set forth in the governing indenture; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that with respect to the 1994 9 3/4% Notes this paragraph shall be of
no further force and effect upon the occurrence of a 1994 9 3/4% Note Event and
with respect to the 1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes this paragraph
shall be of no further force and effect upon the earlier of (w) the maturity of
the 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, as applicable, (x) the date
upon which defeasance of the 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, as
applicable, becomes effective, (y) the date on which there are no longer any
1996 10 1/8% Notes or 1996 9 3/4% Notes, as applicable, outstanding under the
terms of the governing indenture and (z) the date on which the Limitation on
Sale of Assets and Subsidiary Stock covenant no longer applies in accordance
with the terms of the indenture governing the 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996
9 3/4% Notes, as applicable.
17
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the first paragraph of this
covenant and without complying with the foregoing provisions:
(i) Jacor or JCC, as applicable, and its Subsidiaries may convey, sell,
transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of assets pursuant to and in
accordance with the limitation on mergers, sales or consolidations
provisions in the Indentures;
(ii) Jacor or JCC, as applicable, and its Subsidiaries may sell or
dispose of inventory or damaged, worn out or other obsolete property in the
ordinary course of business so long as such property is no longer necessary
for the proper conduct of the business of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, or
such Subsidiary, as applicable; and
(iii) any of Jacor's or JCC's, as applicable, Subsidiaries may convey,
sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of assets to, or merge with or
into, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, or any of its wholly owned Subsidiary
Guarantors.
All Net Cash Proceeds from an Event of Loss shall be applied to the
restoration, repair or replacement of the asset so affected or invested, used
for prepayment of Senior Debt, or used to repurchase Convertible Debt Securities
and/or JCC Debt Securities, all within the period and as otherwise provided
above in clauses 1(a) or 1(b)(i) of the first paragraph of this covenant.
In addition to the foregoing, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, will not, and
will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly make any
Asset Sale of any of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary except pursuant to
an Asset Sale of all the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary.
Any Asset Sale Offer shall be made in compliance with all applicable laws,
rules, and regulations, including, if applicable, Regulation 14E of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and all other applicable Federal
and state securities laws.
LIMITATION ON ASSET SWAPS
The Indentures will provide that Jacor, JCC and their Subsidiaries will not,
and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, in one or a series of related
transactions, directly or indirectly, engage in any Asset Swaps, unless: (i) at
the time of entering into the agreement to swap assets and immediately after
giving effect to the proposed Asset Swap, no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof; (ii)
Jacor or JCC would, after giving PRO FORMA effect to the proposed Asset Swap,
have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant
to the Leverage Ratio in the covenant "Limitation on Incurrence of Additional
Indebtedness and Disqualified Capital Stock;" (iii) the respective fair market
values of the assets being purchased and sold by Jacor, JCC or any of their
Subsidiaries (as determined in good faith) by the management of Jacor or JCC or,
if such Asset Swap includes consideration in excess of $2.5 million, by the
Board of Directors of Jacor or JCC, respectively, as evidenced by a Board
Resolution) are substantially the same at the time of entering into the
agreement to swap assets; and (iv) at the time of the consummation of the
proposed Asset Swap, the percentage of any decline in the fair market value
(determined as aforesaid) of the asset or assets being acquired by Jacor, JCC
and their Subsidiaries shall not be significantly greater than the percentage of
any decline in the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the assets
being disposed of by Jacor, JCC or their Subsidiaries, calculated from the time
the agreement to swap assets was entered into.
LIMITATION ON TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Indentures will provide that neither Jacor, JCC nor any of their
Subsidiaries will be permitted after the Issue Date to enter into any contract,
agreement, arrangement or transaction with any Affiliate (an "Affiliate
Transaction"), or any series of related Affiliate Transactions (other than
Exempted Affiliate Transactions), (i) unless it is determined that the terms of
such Affiliate Transaction are fair and reasonable to Jacor or JCC, as
applicable, and no less favorable to Jacor or JCC, as applicable, than could
have been obtained in an arm's length transaction with a non-Affiliate and, (ii)
if involving consideration to either party in excess of $5.0 million, unless
such Affiliate Transaction(s) is evidenced by (A) an Officers' Certificate
addressed and delivered to the Trustee certifying that such Affiliate
Transaction(s) has been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, who are disinterested in
18
such transaction or, (B) with regard to JCC, in the event there are no members
of the Board of Directors of JCC who are disinterested in such transaction, then
so long as JCC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jacor, an Officers' Certificate
addressed and delivered to the Trustee certifying that such Affiliate
Transaction(s) have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors of Jacor who are disinterested in such transaction and (iii) if
involving consideration to either party in excess of $10.0 million, unless in
addition Jacor or JCC, as applicable, prior to the consummation thereof, obtains
a written favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction to Jacor or
JCC, as applicable, from a financial point of view from an independent
investment banking firm of national reputation.
LIMITATION ON MERGER, SALE OR CONSOLIDATION
The Indentures will provide that Jacor and JCC will not, directly or
indirectly, consolidate with or merge with or into another person or sell,
lease, convey or transfer all or substantially all of their assets (computed on
a consolidated basis), whether in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions, to another person or group of affiliated persons or adopt a Plan
of Liquidation, unless (i) either (a) Jacor or JCC, as applicable, is the
continuing entity or (b) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity or, in
the case of a Plan of Liquidation, the entity which receives the greatest value
from such Plan of Liquidation is a corporation organized under the laws of the
United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly
assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of Jacor or JCC, as
applicable, in connection with the JCC Debt Securities, Convertible Debt
Securities and/or the Indentures; (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall
exist or shall occur immediately after giving effect on a PRO FORMA basis to
such transaction; and (iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction
on a PRO FORMA basis, the consolidated resulting, surviving or transferee entity
or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, the entity which receives the greatest
value from such Plan of Liquidation would immediately thereafter be permitted to
incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Leverage Ratio
set forth in the covenant described under "Limitation on Incurrence of
Additional Indebtedness and Disqualified Capital Stock".
Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of Jacor or JCC or consummation of a Plan of Liquidation in
accordance with the foregoing, the successor corporation formed by such
consolidation or into which Jacor or JCC, as applicable, is merged or to which
such transfer is made or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, the entity which
receives the greatest value from such Plan of Liquidation shall succeed to, and
be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, Jacor or JCC
under the Indentures with the same effect as if such successor corporation had
been named therein as Jacor or JCC, and Jacor or JCC shall be released from the
obligations under the respective Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt
Securities and the Indentures except with respect to any obligations that arise
from, or are related to, such transaction.
For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or
otherwise) of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or
more Subsidiaries, Jacor's or JCC's interest in which constitutes all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of Jacor or JCC, as applicable,
shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties
and assets of Jacor or JCC, as applicable.
LIMITATION ON LINES OF BUSINESS
The Indentures will provide that neither Jacor, JCC nor any of their
Subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly engage to any substantial extent in
any line or lines of business activity other than that which is a Related
Business.
RESTRICTION ON SALE AND ISSUANCE OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK
The Indentures will provide that Jacor, JCC and the Guarantors will not
sell, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to issue or sell, any Equity
Interests of any Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, to any person other
than Jacor or JCC, as applicable, or a wholly owned Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC,
as applicable, except for Equity Interests with no preferences or special rights
or privileges and with no redemption or prepayment provisions.
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS
The Indentures will provide that (i) all present Subsidiaries of Jacor or
JCC, if any, and their Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries), and (ii)
all future Subsidiaries of Jacor or JCC and their Subsidiaries
19
(other than Excluded Subsidiaries), which are not prohibited from becoming
guarantors by law or by the terms of any Acquired Indebtedness or any agreement
(other than an agreement entered into in connection with the transaction
resulting in such person becoming a Subsidiary of Jacor, JCC or their
Subsidiaries) to which such Subsidiary is a party, jointly and severally, will
guaranty irrevocably and unconditionally all principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the JCC Debt Securities and the Convertible Debt Securities on a
senior subordinated basis; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon any change in the law,
Acquired Indebtedness or any agreement (whether by expiration, termination or
otherwise) which no longer prohibits a Subsidiary of Jacor or JCC from becoming
a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary shall immediately thereafter become a
Subsidiary Guarantor; PROVIDED, FURTHER, in the event that any Subsidiary of
Jacor, JCC or their Subsidiaries becomes a guarantor of any other Indebtedness
of Jacor, JCC or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their Subsidiaries, such
Subsidiary shall immediately thereafter become a Subsidiary Guarantor.
All subsidiaries of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, (other than the Excluded
Subsidiaries) will be Subsidiary Guarantors if required by the covenant
"Subsidiary Guarantors."
RELEASE OF GUARANTORS
The Indentures will provide that no Guarantor shall consolidate or merge

certain other provisions of the Indentures, the Person formed by or surviving

Guarantor's obligations under such Guarantor's guarantee, the Indentures on the
terms set forth in the Indentures; (ii) immediately before and immediately after
giving effect to such transaction on a PRO FORMA basis, no Default or Event of

Debt Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such termination shall occur only

guarantees of, and under all of its pledges of assets or other security

thereto is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act and JCC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jacor, JCC shall deliver to
the Trustee and, to each Holder, Jacor's annual and quarterly reports pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, within 15 days after such reports
have been filed with the Commission; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, in the event either (i)

thereon by JCC's certified independent public accountants as such would be
required in such reports to the Commission, and, in each case, together with a

operations which would be so required and, to the extent permitted by the
Exchange Act or the Commission (if it were subject to such reporting
obligations), file with the Commission the annual, quarterly and other reports
which it is or would have been required to file with the Commission.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
The Indentures will define an Event of Default as (i) the failure by Jacor
or JCC, as applicable, to pay any installment of interest on the Convertible
Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities as and when the same becomes due and
payable and the continuance of any such failure for 30 days, (ii) the failure by
Jacor or JCC, as applicable, to pay all or any part of the principal, or
premium, if any, on such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities when
and as the same becomes due and payable at maturity, redemption, by acceleration
or otherwise, (iii) the failure by Jacor, JCC or any Guarantor, as applicable,
to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the JCC Debt
Securities, Convertible Debt Securities and/or the Indentures and, subject to
certain exceptions, the continuance of such failure for a period of 60 days
after written notice is given to Jacor or JCC, as applicable, by the Trustee or
to Jacor or JCC, as applicable, and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC
Debt Securities outstanding, as the case may be, (iv) certain events of
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization in respect of Jacor, JCC or any of
their Significant Subsidiaries, (v) a default in any issue of Indebtedness of
Jacor, JCC or any of their Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount in
excess of $5.0 million (a) resulting from the failure to pay principal at final
maturity or (b) as a result of which the maturity of such Indebtedness has been
accelerated prior to its stated maturity, and (vi) final unsatisfied judgments
not covered by insurance aggregating in excess of $5.0 million, at any one time
rendered against Jacor, JCC or any of their Subsidiaries and not stayed, bonded
or discharged within 60 days. The Indentures will provide that if a Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee must, within 90 days after the occurrence
of such Default, give to the Holders notice of such Default.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of
Default specified in clause (iv) above relating to Jacor, JCC or any Significant
Subsidiary,) then in every such case, unless the principal of all of the
Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities shall have already become
due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal
amount of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities at the time
outstanding, by notice in writing to Jacor or JCC (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders) (an "Acceleration Notice"), may declare all principal, determined as
set forth below, and accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any Senior Debt is outstanding pursuant to Jacor's or
JCC's credit facilities then in effect upon a declaration of such acceleration,
such principal and interest shall be due and payable upon the earlier of (x) the
third Business Day after the sending to Jacor or JCC, as applicable, and the
Representative of such written notice, unless such Event of Default is cured or
waived prior to such date and (y) the date of acceleration of any Senior Debt
under such credit facilities. In the event a declaration of acceleration
resulting from an Event of Default described in clause (v) above has occurred
and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically
annulled if such default is cured or waived or the holders of the Indebtedness
which is the subject of such default have rescinded their declaration of
acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness within five days thereof and the
Trustee has received written notice or such cure, waiver or rescission and no
other Event of Default described in clause (v) above has occurred that has not
been cured or waived within five days of the declaration of such acceleration in
respect of such Indebtedness. If an Event of Default specified in clause (iv),
above, relating to Jacor, JCC or any Significant Subsidiary occurs, all
principal and accrued interest thereon will be immediately due and payable on
all outstanding Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities without any
declaration or other act on the part of Trustee or the Holders. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Debt Securities or
JCC Debt Securities at the time outstanding, as the case may be, generally are
authorized to rescind such acceleration if all existing Events of Default, other
than the non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such
Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities which have become due solely
by such acceleration and except on default with respect to any provision
requiring a supermajority approval to amend, which default may only be waived by
such a supermajority, and have been cured or waived.
21
Prior to the declaration of acceleration of the maturity of any Convertible
Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of such Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities at
the time outstanding, as the case may be, may waive on behalf of all the Holders
any default, except on default with respect to any provision requiring a
supermajority approval to amend, which default may only be waived by such a
supermajority, and except a default in the payment of principal of or interest
on any Debt Security or Convertible Debt Security not yet cured or a default
with respect to any covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended
without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Debt Security or
Convertible Debt Security affected. Subject to the provisions of the Indentures
relating to the duties of the Trustee, the Trustee will be under no obligation
to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indentures at the request,
order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to
the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity. Subject to all provisions of the
Indentures and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Convertible Debt Securities or JCC Debt Securities at the time
outstanding, as the case may be, will have the right to direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
The Indentures will provide that Jacor or JCC may, at its option, elect to
have its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors discharged with
respect to the outstanding Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt
Securities ("Legal Defeasance"). Such Legal Defeasance means that Jacor or JCC,
as applicable, shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness represented, and the Indentures shall cease to be of further effect
as to all such outstanding Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities
and Guarantees, except as to (i) rights of Holders to receive payments in
respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Convertible
Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities when such payments are due from the
trust funds; (ii) Jacor's or JCC's, as applicable, obligations with respect to
such Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities concerning issuing
temporary Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities, registration of
Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities, and the
maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments
held in trust; (iii) the rights, powers, trust, duties, and immunities of the
Trustee, and Jacor's or JCC's, as applicable, obligations in connection
therewith; and (iv) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indentures. In
addition, Jacor or JCC may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the
obligations of Jacor or JCC and the Guarantors released with respect to certain
covenants that are described in the Indentures ("Covenant Defeasance") and
thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a
Default or Event of Default with respect to the Convertible Debt Securities and
JCC Debt Securities. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events
(not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and
insolvency events) described under "Events of Default" will no longer constitute
an Event of Default with respect to the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt
Securities.
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, (i)
Jacor or JCC, as applicable, must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in
trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC
Debt Securities, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination
thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt
Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the redemption date of
such principal or installment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
such Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities, and the Holders of
Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities must have a valid,
perfected, exclusive security interest in such trust; (ii) in the case of the
Legal Defeasance, Jacor or JCC, as applicable, shall have delivered to the
Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee confirming that (A) Jacor or JCC, as applicable, has received from, or
there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service, a ruling or (B) since
the date of the Indentures, there has been a change in the applicable federal
income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such
opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such Convertible Debt
Securities and JCC Debt Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the
22
same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not
occurred; (iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, Jacor or JCC, as applicable,
shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States
reasonably acceptable to such Trustee confirming that the Holders of such
Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities will not recognize income,
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant
Defeasance had not occurred; (iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or insofar as Events of
Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the
period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit; (v) such Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under the Indenture or any other material agreement or
instrument to which Jacor, JCC or any of their Subsidiaries is a party or by
which Jacor, JCC or any of their Subsidiaries is bound; (vi) Jacor or JCC, as
applicable, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating
that the deposit was not made by Jacor or JCC, as applicable, with the intent of
preferring the holders of such Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt
Securities over any other creditors of Jacor or JCC, as applicable, or with the
intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of
Jacor or JCC, as applicable, or others; and (vii) Jacor or JCC, as applicable,
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an opinion of
counsel, each stating that the conditions precedent provided for in, in the case
of the officers' certificate, (i) through (vi) and, in the case of the opinion
of counsel, clauses (i), (with respect to the validity and perfection of the
security interest) (ii), (iii) and (v) of this paragraph have been complied
with.
Jacor or JCC, as applicable, shall have delivered to the Trustee any
required consent of the lenders under its then-existing credit facilities to
such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be.

Security or Convertible Debt Security or any premium or the interest thereon is

payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption,

redeem the Convertible Debt Securities and JCC Debt Securities in a manner
adverse to the Holders, or (ii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the
outstanding Convertible Debt Securities and/or JCC Debt Securities, the consent
of whose Holders is required for any such amendment, supplemental indenture or

provisions, except to increase any required percentage or to provide that
certain other provisions of the Indentures cannot be modified or waived without

Security affected thereby. The Indentures will contain a provision that the

Representative on behalf of the lenders under the Jacor or JCC credit facilities
then in effect.

employee, officer or director, as such, past, present or future of Jacor, JCC,
the Guarantors or any successor entity shall have any personal liability

prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes 104,000,000 shares of
capital stock, of which 100,000,000 shares are Jacor Common Stock, 2,000,000
shares are Class A Preferred Stock, $.01 par value and 2,000,000 shares are
Class B Preferred Stock, $.01 par value (together with the Class A Preferred
Stock, the "Preferred Stock"). As of December 31, 1996, 31,385,724 shares of
Jacor Common Stock were issued and outstanding.
JACOR COMMON STOCK
Under Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware law, the holders of
Jacor Common Stock have no preemptive rights and the Jacor Common Stock has no
redemption, sinking fund, or conversion privileges. The holders of Jacor Common
Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on any matter submitted to
the stockholders and do not have the right to cumulate their votes in the
election of directors. All corporate action requiring stockholder approval,
unless otherwise required by law, Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation or its
Bylaws, must be authorized by a majority of the votes cast. Approval of only a
majority of the outstanding voting shares is required to effect (i) an amendment
to Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation, (ii) a merger or consolidation, and
(iii) a disposition of all or substantially all of Jacor's assets. A majority of
the directors on the Jacor Board, as well as a majority of the outstanding
voting shares, have the ability to amend the Jacor Bylaws.
In the event of liquidation, each share of Jacor Common Stock is entitled to
share ratably in the distribution of remaining assets after payment of all
debts, subject to the prior rights in liquidation of any share of Jacor
Preferred Stock issued. Holders of shares of Jacor Common Stock are entitled to
share ratably in such dividends as the Jacor Board of Directors, in its
discretion, may validly declare from funds legally available therefor, subject
to the prior rights of holders of shares of Jacor Preferred Stock as may be
outstanding from time to time. Certain restrictions on the payment of dividends
are imposed under the Credit Facility. See "Risk Factors--Lack of Dividends;
Restrictions on Payments of Dividends."
JACOR CLASS A AND CLASS B PREFERRED STOCK
No shares of Jacor Preferred Stock have been issued. The Class A Preferred
Stock has full voting rights. The Class B Preferred Stock has no voting rights
except as otherwise provided by law or as lawfully fixed by the Jacor Board of
Directors with respect to a particular series.
Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Jacor Board of Directors
to provide from time to time for the issuance of the shares of Jacor Preferred
Stock and by resolution to establish the terms of each
33
such series, including (i) the number of shares of the series and the
designation thereof, (ii) the rights in respect of dividends on the shares,
(iii) liquidation rights, (iv) redemption rights, (v) the terms of any purchase,
retirement or sinking fund to be provided for the shares of the series, (vi)
terms of conversion, if any, (vii) restrictions, limitations and conditions, if
any, on issuance of indebtedness of Jacor, (viii) voting rights; and (ix) any
other preferences and other rights and limitations not inconsistent with law,
the Certificate of Incorporation, or any resolution of the Jacor Board of
Directors.
The issuance of Jacor Preferred Stock, while providing flexibility in
connection with the possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could
among other things adversely affect the rights of holders of Jacor Common Stock,
and, under certain circumstances, make it more difficult for a third party to
gain control of Jacor. In the event that shares of Jacor Preferred Stock are
issued and convertible into shares of Jacor Common Stock the holders of Jacor
Common Stock may experience dilution.
The Prospectus Supplement for any series of Jacor Preferred Stock will state
the terms, if any, on which shares of that series are convertible into shares of
another series of Jacor Preferred Stock or Jacor Common Stock or exchangeable
for another series of Jacor Preferred Stock, Jacor Common Stock or other debt
securities issued hereunder.
JACOR DEPOSITARY SHARES
Jacor may, at its option, elect to offer fractional shares of Class A or
Class B Preferred Stock, rather than full shares of Class A or Class B Preferred
Stock. In the event such option is exercised, Jacor will issue receipts for
Jacor Depositary Shares, each of which will represent a fraction (to be set
forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating to the Class A or Class B Preferred
Stock) of a share of such Jacor Preferred Stock.
The share of Class A or Class B Preferred Stock represented by Jacor
Depositary Shares will be deposited under a Deposit Agreement (the "Deposit
Agreement") between Jacor and a bank or trust company selected by Jacor having
its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 (the "Depositary"). Subject to the terms of the
Deposit Agreement, each owner of a Depositary Share will be entitled, in
proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of Class A or Class B Preferred
Stock represented by such Depositary Share, to all the rights and preferences of
the Class A or Class B Preferred Stock represented thereby (including dividend,
voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights).
The above summary description of the Jacor Depositary Shares does not
purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by
reference to, the description in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and the
detailed provisions of the Deposit Agreement (which will contain the form of
Depositary Receipt). A copy of the form of Deposit Agreement is available upon
request.
CITICASTERS WARRANTS
Jacor issued warrants (the "Citicasters Warrants") pursuant to the terms of
its February 1996 agreement to acquire Citicasters Inc. through a merger (the
"Citicasters Merger") of Citicasters Inc. ("Citicasters") with and into JCC
(formerly JCAC, Inc.). If all of the Citicasters Warrants are exercised,
4,400,000 shares of Jacor Common Stock would be issued. Each Citicasters Warrant
initially entitles the holder thereof to purchase .2035247 of a share of Jacor
Common Stock at a price of $28.00 per full share (the "Citicasters Price"). The
Citicasters Price and the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of each Citicasters Warrant are subject to adjustment in certain
events described below. Each Citicasters Warrant may be exercised until 5:00
p.m., Eastern Time, on September 18, 2001 (the "Citicasters Expiration Date") in
accordance with the terms of the Citicasters Warrants and Citicasters Warrant
Agreement. To the extent that any Citicasters Warrant remains outstanding after
such time, such unexercised Citicasters Warrant will automatically terminate.
Citicasters Warrants may be exercised by surrendering to the warrant agent a
signed Citicasters Warrant certificate together with the form of election to
purchase on the reverse thereof indicating the warrant holder's election to
exercise all or a portion of the Citicasters Warrants evidenced by such
certificate. Surrendered certificates must be accompanied by payment of the
aggregate Citicasters Price in respect of the Citicasters Warrant to be
exercised, which payment may be made in cash or by certified or bank cashier's
34
check drawn on a banking institution chartered by the government of the United
States or any state thereof payable to the order of Jacor. No adjustments as to
cash dividends with respect to the Jacor Common Stock will be made upon any
exercise of Citicasters Warrants.
If fewer than all of the Citicasters Warrants evidenced by any certificate
are exercised, the warrant agent will deliver to the exercising warrantholder a
new Citicasters Warrant certificate representing the unexercised Citicasters
Warrants. Jacor will not be required to issue fractional shares of Jacor Common
Stock upon exercise of any Citicasters Warrant and in lieu thereof will pay in
cash an amount equal to the same fraction of the closing price per share of the
Jacor Common Stock, determined as provided in the Citicasters Warrant Agreement.
Jacor has reserved for issuance a number of shares of Jacor Common Stock
sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by
the Citicasters Warrants.
A Citicasters Warrant may not be exercised in whole or in part if in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to Jacor the issuance of Jacor Common Stock upon
such exercise would cause Jacor to be in violation of the Communications Act or
the rules and regulations in effect thereunder.
The number of shares of Jacor Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of
each Citicasters Warrant and the Citicasters Price are subject to the adjustment
in connection with (i) the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of Jacor
Common Stock, a combination or subdivision or issuance by reclassification of
Jacor Common Stock; (ii) the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all
holders of Jacor Common Stock without charge to such holders to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Jacor Common Stock at a price per share which is lower than
the current market price; and (iii) certain distributions by Jacor to the
holders of Jacor Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness or of its assets
(excluding cash dividends, or distributions out of earnings or out of surplus
legally available for dividends) or of convertible securities, all as set forth
in the Citicasters Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
adjustment in the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of Citicasters Warrants will be required until such adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of
shares of Jacor Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each Citicasters
Warrant. In addition, Jacor may at its option reduce the Citicasters Price.
In case of any consolidation or merger of Jacor with or into another
corporation, or any sale, transfer or lease to another corporation of all or
substantially all of the property of Jacor, the Citicasters Warrant Agreement
requires that effective provisions be made so that each holder of an outstanding
Citicasters Warrant will have the right thereafter to exercise the Citicasters
Warrant for the kind and amount of securities and property receivable in
connection with such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease by a holder
of the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock for which such Citicasters Warrant
were exercisable immediately prior thereto. In addition, if Jacor takes any
action prior to the issuance of the Citicasters Warrants that would have
required an adjustment in the exercise price of the Citicasters Warrants or in
the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Citicasters Warrants, then
the exercise price of the Citicasters Warrants or such number of shares will be
adjusted upon issuance of the Citicasters Warrants to give effect to the
adjustment which would have been required as a result of such action.
The Citicasters Warrant Agreement may be amended or supplemented without the
consent of the holders of Citicasters Warrants to cure any ambiguity or to
correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision contained therein,
or to make such other necessary or desirable changes which shall not adversely
affect interest of the warrant holders. Any other amendment to the Citicasters
Warrant Agreement requires the consent of warrant holders representing not less
than 50% of the Citicasters Warrants then outstanding provided that no change in
the number or nature of the securities purchasable upon the exercise of any
Citicasters Warrant, or the Citicasters Price therefor, or the acceleration of
the Citicasters Expiration Date, and no change in the antidilution provisions
which would adversely affect the interest of the holders of Citicasters
Warrants, shall be made without the consent of the holder of such Citicasters
Warrant, other than such changes as are specifically prescribed by the
Citicasters Warrant Agreement or are made in compliance with the applicable law.
No holder of Citicasters Warrants is entitled to vote or receive dividends
or be deemed for any purpose the holder of Jacor Common Stock until the
Citicasters Warrants are properly exercised as provided in the Citicasters
Warrant Agreement.
35
REGENT WARRANTS
Pursuant to the terms of the October 1996 definitive merger agreement (the
"Regent Merger Agreement") entered into by Jacor and Regent Communications, Inc.
("Regent"), whereby Regent will merge with and into Jacor (the "Regent Merger"),
Jacor is obligated to issue one warrant to acquire a fractional share of Jacor
Common Stock (the "Regent Warrants") for each outstanding share of Regent common
stock. The Regent Warrants will be issued upon the consummation of the Regent
Merger. If all such Regent Warrants are exercised, 500,000 shares of Jacor
Common Stock would be issued. Each Regent Warrant will initially entitle the
holder thereof to purchase a fractional share of Jacor Common Stock (which
fraction is currently anticipated to be approximately .10877 (the "Fraction"))
at a price of $40.00 per full share of Jacor Common Stock (the "Regent Price").
The Regent Price and the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of each Regent Warrant are subject to adjustment if certain events
described below occur. Each Regent Warrant may be exercised on or after the
issuance thereof and until 5:00 pm., Eastern Time, on the fifth anniversary of
the date that the Regent Merger becomes effective (the "Regent Expiration Date")
in accordance with the terms of the Regent Warrants and the Regent Warrant
Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if any of the Regent Warrants are called for
redemption by Jacor, at a price per Regent Warrant equal to $12.00 multiplied by
the Fraction, as adjusted from time to time under the terms of the Regent
Warrant Agreement, on or after the third anniversary of the "Effective Time" (as
defined in the Regent Warrant Agreement), the right to so redeem the Regent
Warrants shall expire at the close of business, New York time, on such
redemption date. To the extent that any Regent Warrant remains outstanding after
such time, such unexercised Regent Warrant will automatically terminate.
Regent Warrants may be exercised by surrendering to the warrant agent a
signed Regent Warrant certificate together with the form of election to purchase
on the reverse thereof indicating the warrant holder's election to exercise all
or a portion of the Regent Warrants evidenced by such certificate. Surrendered
certificates must be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Regent Price in
respect of the Regent Warrants to be exercised, which payment may be made in
cash or by certified or bank cashier's check drawn on a banking institution
chartered by the government of the United States or any state thereof payable to
the order of Jacor. No adjustments as to cash dividends with respect to the
Jacor Common Stock will be made upon any exercise of Regent Warrants.
If fewer than all the Regent Warrants evidenced by any certificate are
exercised, the warrant agent will deliver to the exercising warrant holder a new
Regent Warrant certificate representing the unexercised Regent Warrants. Jacor
will not be required to issue fractional shares of Jacor Common Stock upon
exercise of any Regent Warrant and in lieu thereof will pay in cash an amount
equal to the same fraction of the closing price per share of Jacor Common Stock,
determined as provided in the Regent Warrant Agreement. Jacor has reserved for
issuance a number of shares of Jacor Common Stock sufficient to provide for the
exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Regent Warrants.
A Regent Warrant may not be exercised in whole or in part if in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to Jacor the issuance of Jacor Common Stock upon
such exercise would cause Jacor to be in violation of the Communications Act or
the rules and regulations in effect thereunder.
The number of shares of Jacor Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of
each Regent Warrant and the Regent Price are subject to adjustment in connection
with (i) the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of Jacor Common Stock, a
combination or subdivision or issuance by reclassification of Jacor Common
Stock; (ii) the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Jacor
Common Stock without charge to such holders to subscribe for or purchase shares
of Jacor Common Stock at a price per share which is lower than the current
market price; and (iii) certain distributions by Jacor to the holders of Jacor
Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness or of its assets (excluding cash
dividends or distributions pursuant to an announced policy of Jacor payable out
of earnings or out of surplus legally available for dividends) or of convertible
securities, all as set forth in the Regent Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no adjustment in the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Regent Warrants will be required until such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in
the number of shares of Jacor Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of each
Regent Warrant. In addition, Jacor may at its option reduce the Regent Price to
any amount deemed appropriate by the Jacor Board of Directors.
36
In case of any consolidation or merger of Jacor with or into another
corporation, or any sale, transfer or lease to another corporation of all or
substantially all the property of Jacor, the Regent Warrant Agreement requires
that effective provisions will be made so that each holder of an outstanding
Regent Warrant will have the right thereafter to exercise the Regent Warrant for
the kind and amount of securities and property receivable in connection with
such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease by a holder of the number of
shares of Jacor Common Stock for which such Regent Warrant were exercisable
immediately prior thereto. In addition, pending execution of the Regent Warrant
Agreement, the Regent Merger Agreement provides that, if after the date of the
Regent Merger Agreement and prior to the issuance of the Regent Warrants, Jacor
takes any action which, if the Regent Warrants had been issued and outstanding
as of such date, would have required an adjustment in the exercise price of the
Regent Warrants or in the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of the
Regent Warrants, then the exercise price of the Regent Warrants or such number
of shares will be adjusted upon issuance of the Regent Warrants to give effect
to the adjustment which would have been required as a result of such action.
The Regent Warrant Agreement may be amended or supplemented without the
consent of the holders of Regent Warrants to cure any ambiguity or to correct or
supplement any defective or inconsistent provision contained therein, or to make
such other necessary or desirable changes which shall not adversely affect the
interests of the warrant holders. Any other amendment to the Regent Warrant
Agreement shall require the consent of warrant holders representing not less
than 50% of the Regent Warrants then outstanding provided that no change in the
number or nature of the securities purchasable upon the exercise of any Regent
Warrant, or the Regent Price therefor, or the acceleration of the Regent
Expiration Date, and no change in the antidilution provisions which would
adversely affect the interests of the holders of Regent Warrants, shall be made
without the consent of the holder of such Regent Warrant, other than such
changes as are specifically prescribed by the Regent Warrant Agreement or are
made in compliance with applicable law.
No holder of Regent Warrants shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends
or be deemed for any purpose the holder of Jacor Common Stock until the Regent
Warrants are properly exercised as provided in the Regent Warrant Agreement.
DELAWARE ANTITAKEOVER STATUTE
Jacor is subject to the "business combination" statute of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (Section 203). In general, such statute prohibits a
publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in various "business
combination" transactions with any "interested stockholder" for a period of
three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an
"interested stockholder," unless (i) such transaction is approved by the Board
of Directors prior to the date the "interested stockholder" obtains such status,
(ii) upon consummation of the transaction the interested stockholder
beneficially owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation
outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of
determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by (a) persons
who are directors and also officers and (b) employee stock plans in which
employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether
shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer,
or (iii) the "business combination" is approved by the Board of Directors and
authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative
vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by
the "interested stockholder." A "business combination" includes mergers, asset
sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to an "interested
stockholder." An "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with
affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years, did own) 15% or more of
the corporation's voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or
other takeover or change in control attempts with respect to Jacor and,
accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire Jacor.
REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT
KeyCorp Shareholder Services, Inc. is the registrar and transfer agent for
the Jacor Common Stock and the warrant agent for the Citicasters Warrants.
37
DESCRIPTION OF INDEBTEDNESS
The summaries contained herein of certain of the indebtedness of Jacor and
JCC do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the provisions of the various agreements and indentures related
thereto, which are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part and to which reference is hereby made.
THE CREDIT FACILITY
The Credit Facility provides availability of $600.0 million of loans to JCC
in three components: (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $200.0 million
with mandatory semi-annual commitment reductions beginning March 18, 1999 and a
final maturity date of September 18, 2003; (ii) a term loan of $300.0 million
with scheduled semi-annual reductions beginning March 18, 1998 and a final
maturity date of September 18, 2003; and (iii) a tranche B term loan of $100.0
million with scheduled semi-annual reductions beginning March 18, 1999 and a
final maturity date of September 18, 2004.
The Credit Facility bears interest at a rate that fluctuates with a bank
base rate and/or the Eurodollar rate per annum, and at December 31, 1996 this
rate was 8.0%. Jacor borrowed monies under the Credit Facility to (i) finance a
portion of the cash consideration paid in the Citicasters Merger, and (ii) fund
$100.0 million of the repurchase price of the 1994 9 3/4% Notes. The Citicasters
Merger constituted a change in control for the purposes of the indenture under
which the 1994 9 3/4% Notes were issued and Jacor was required to make an offer
to repurchase such notes at 101% of their aggregate principal amount (the
"Citicasters Put"). Under the Citicasters Put, the holders of $106.9 million in
principal amount of the 1994 9 3/4% Notes elected in October 1996 to sell their
1994 9 3/4 % Notes to Jacor pursuant to Jacor's repurchase offer.
In November 1996, Jacor commenced discussions with the lenders to expand the
availability under the Credit Facility from up to $600.0 million to up to $750.0
million, among other things. Jacor is discussing with the lenders that the
components of the increased Credit Facility consist of a revolving credit
facility with an availability of up to $450.0 million, a $200.0 million
seven-year amortizing term loan and a $100.0 million up to eight-year amortizing
term loan. There can be no assurance that the availability under the Credit
Facility will be increased or that the components of the Credit Facility will be
revised.
The loans under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of Jacor's direct
and indirect subsidiaries other than certain immaterial subsidiaries. Jacor's
obligations with respect to the Credit Facility and each guarantor's obligations
with respect to the related guaranty are secured by substantially all of their
respective assets, including, without limitation, inventory, equipment, accounts
receivable, intercompany debt and, in the case of Jacor's subsidiaries, capital
stock. JCC's obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first
priority lien on the capital stock of the Jacor's and JCC's subsidiaries and by
the guarantee of JCC's parent, Jacor.
The Credit Facility contains covenants and provisions that restrict, among
other things, Jacor's and JCC's ability to: (i) incur additional indebtedness;
(ii) incur liens on its property; (iii) make investments and advances; (iv)
enter into guarantees and other contingent obligations; (v) merge or consolidate
with or acquire another person or engage in other fundamental changes; (vi)
engage in certain sales of assets; (vii) make capital expenditures; (viii) enter
into leases; (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (x) make
restricted junior payments. The Credit Facility also requires the satisfaction
of certain financial performance criteria (including a consolidated interest
coverage ratio, a leverage-to-operating cash flow ratio and a consolidated
operating cash flow available for fixed charges ratio) and the repayment of
loans under the Credit Facility with proceeds of certain sales of assets and
debt issuances, and with 50% of Jacor's and JCC's Consolidated Excess Cash Flow
(as defined in the Credit Facility).
Events of default under the Credit Facility include various events of
default customary for such type of agreement, such as failure to pay scheduled
payments when due, cross defaults on other indebtedness, change of control
events under other indebtedness (including the LYONs, the 1994 9 3/4% Notes, the
1996 10 1/8% Notes and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes) and certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency and reorganization. In
38
addition, the Credit Facility includes events of default for JCC and the
cessation of any lien on any of the collateral under the Credit Facility as a
perfected first priority lien and the failure of Zell/Chilmark appointees to
represent at least 30% of the Jacor Board of Directors.
For purposes of the Credit Facility, a change of control includes the
occurrence of any event that triggers a change of control under the LYONs , the
1994 9 3/4% Notes, the 1996 10 1/8% Notes or the 1996 9 3/4% Notes. Such change
of control under the Credit Facility would constitute an event of default which
would give the syndicate the right to accelerate the unpaid principal amounts
due under the Credit Facility. Upon such acceleration, there is no assurance
that JCC will have funds available to fund such repayment or that such funds
will be available on terms acceptable to JCC.
THE 1994 9 3/4% NOTES
The 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "1994 9 3/4% Notes") are
general unsecured obligations of JCC and are subordinated in rights of payment
to all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the 1994 9 3/4% Note Indenture). The
1994 9 3/4% Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture between Citicasters and
Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association, as Trustee (the "1994 9 3/4%
Note Indenture").
Following the Citicasters Put and Jacor's repurchase of $15.0 million of
1994 9 3/4% Notes subsequent to the 1996 9 3/4% Notes Offering (as defined
herein), the December 31, 1996 aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
1994 9 3/4% Notes was $3.1 million. The 1994 9 3/4% Notes mature on February 15,
2004 and accrue interest at the rate of 9 3/4% per annum.
The 1994 9 3/4% Notes are not redeemable at JCC's option before February 15,
1999 (other than in connection with certain public offerings of JCC Common
Stock, as described below). Thereafter, the 1994 9 3/4% Notes are subject to
redemption at the option of JCC, at redemption prices declining from 104.875% of
the principal amount for the twelve months commencing February 15, 1999 to
100.00% on and after February 15, 2002, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the applicable redemption date.
Within 60 days after any Change of Control (as defined in the 1994 9 3/4%
Note Indenture), JCC or its successors must make an offer to purchase the 1994
9 3/4% Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. As discussed
under "-- The Credit Facility," the Citicasters Merger constituted a Change of
Control. Any 1994 9 3/4% Notes which are not acquired in connection with such
Change of Control offer, subject to the successor's right to redeem the 1994
9 3/4% Notes as described above, will remain outstanding. Jacor will comply with
the requirements of Rule 14e-1 in connection with the repurchase of the 1994
9 3/4% Notes, as such rule might apply to any such repurchase at the time
thereof.
The 1994 9 3/4% Note Indenture contains certain covenants which impose
certain limitations and restrictions on the ability of JCC to incur additional
indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, make certain loans and
investments, apply the proceeds of Asset Sales (and use the proceeds thereof),
create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, merge,
consolidate or transfer substantially all its assets and make investments in
unrestricted subsidiaries. In addition, the 1994 9 3/4% Note Indenture limits
JCC's Subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness.
The Indenture for the 1994 9 3/4% Notes includes various events of default
customary for such type of agreements, such as failure to pay principal and
interest when due on the 1994 9 3/4% Notes, cross defaults on other indebtedness
and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization.
THE 1996 10 1/8% NOTES
In June 1996, JCAC, Inc. (a predecessor to JCC) conducted an offering (the
"1996 10 1/8% Notes Offering") whereby JCAC, Inc. issued and sold 10 1/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "1996 10 1/8% Notes") in an aggregate principal
amount of $100.0 million. The 1996 10 1/8% Notes were issued pursuant to an
Indenture between JCAC, Inc. and First Trust of Illinois, National Association,
as Trustee (the "1996 10 1/8% Note Indenture"). JCAC, Inc. then lent the net
proceeds of the 1996 10 1/8% Notes Offering to Jacor. The 1996 10 1/8% Notes
have interest payment dates of June 15 and December 15, commencing on December
15, 1996, and mature on June 15, 2006.
39
The 1996 10 1/8% Note Indenture contains certain covenants which impose
certain limitations and restrictions on the ability of Jacor to incur additional
indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, make certain loans and
investments, apply the proceeds of asset sales (and use the proceeds thereof),
create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, merge,
consolidate or transfer substantially all its assets and make investments in
unrestricted subsidiaries.
If a change of control occurs, JCC will be required to offer to repurchase
all outstanding 1996 10 1/8% Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
There can be no assurance that JCC will have sufficient funds to purchase all of
the 1996 10 1/8% Notes in the event of a change of control offer or that JCC
would be able to obtain financing for such purpose on favorable terms, if at
all. In addition, the Credit Facility restricts JCC's ability to repurchase the
1996 10 1/8% Notes, including pursuant to a change of control offer.
Furthermore, a change of control under the 1996 10 1/8% Note Indenture will
result in a default under the Credit Facility.
As used herein, (a) prior to the earlier of a 1994 9 3/4% Note Event, a
"Change of Control" means any transaction or series of transactions in which any
of the following occurs: (i) any person or group (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act and Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act),
other than Zell/Chilmark or any of its Affiliates, becomes the direct or
indirect "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of
(A) greater than 50% of the total voting power (on a fully diluted basis as if
all convertible securities had been converted) entitled to vote in the election
of directors of JCC or CitiCo, or the surviving person (if other than Jacor), or
(B) greater than 20% of the total voting power (on a fully diluted basis as if
all convertible securities had been converted) entitled to vote in the election
of directors of JCC or CitiCo, or the surviving person (if other than JCC), and
such person or group has the ability to elect, directly or indirectly, a
majority of the members of the Board of Directors of JCC; or (ii) JCC or CitiCo
consolidates with or merges into another person, another person consolidates
with or merges into JCC or CitiCo, JCC or CitiCo issues shares of its Capital
Stock or all or substantially all of the assets of JCC or CitiCo are sold,
assigned, conveyed, transferred, leased or otherwise disposed of to any person
as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in one transaction or a series of
related transactions and the effect of such consolidation, merger, issuance or
sale is as described in clause (i) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred by virtue of (I) JCC or any
of its employee benefit or stock plans filing (or being required to file after
the lapse of time) a Schedule 13D or 14D-1 (or any successor or similar
schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act) or (II) the purchase by one or
more underwriters of Capital Stock of JCC in connection with a Public Offering;
and (b) upon and following a 1994 9 3/4% Note Event, a "Change of Control" will
mean (i) any merger or consolidation of JCC with or into any person or any sale,
transfer or other conveyance, whether direct or indirect, of all or
substantially all of any of the assets of JCC, on a consolidated basis, in one
transaction or a series of related transactions, if, immediately after giving
effect to such transaction(s), any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used
for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not
applicable) (other than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial
owner," directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in
the aggregate normally entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers,
or trustees, as applicable, of the transferee(s) or surviving entity or
entities, (ii) any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used for purposes of
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable) (other
than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or
indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in the aggregate of all
classes of Capital Stock of JCC then outstanding normally entitled to vote in
elections of directors, or (iii) during any period of 12 consecutive months
after the Issue Date, individuals who at the beginning of any such 12-month
period constituted the Board of Directors of JCC (together with any new
directors whose election by such Board or whose nomination for election by the
shareholders of JCC was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then
still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or
whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for
any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of JCC then in
office.
The events of default under the 1996 10 1/8% Note Indenture include various
events of default customary for such type of agreement, including the failure to
pay principal and interest when due on the 1996 10 1/8%
40
Notes, cross defaults on other indebtedness for borrowed monies in excess of
$5.0 million (which indebtedness would therefore include the Credit Facility,
the LYONs and the 1996 9 3/4% Notes) and certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency and reorganization.
THE LIQUID YIELD OPTION-TM- NOTES
Also in June 1996, Jacor conducted an offering (the "LYONs Offering")
whereby Jacor issued and sold Senior Liquid Yield Option-TM- Notes due June 12,
2011 (the "LYONs") in the aggregate principal amount at maturity of $259.9
million. Each LYON had an Issue Price of $443.14 and a principal amount at
maturity of $1,000. The LYONs were issued pursuant to an Indenture between Jacor
and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (the "LYONs Indenture").
Each LYON is convertible, at the option of the Holder, at any time on or
prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed or otherwise purchased, into Jacor
Common Stock at a conversion rate of 13.412 shares per LYON. The conversion rate
will not be adjusted for accrued original issue discount, but will be subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the Jacor Common
Stock. Upon conversion, the Holder will not receive any cash payment
representing accrued original issue discount; such accrued original issue
discount will be deemed paid by the Jacor Common Stock received by the Holder on
conversion.
The LYONs are not redeemable by Jacor prior to June 12, 2001. Thereafter,
the LYONs are redeemable for cash at any time at the option of Jacor, in whole
or in part, at redemption prices equal to the issue price plus accrued original
issue discount to the date of redemption.
The LYONs will be purchased by Jacor, at the option of the Holder, on June
12, 2001 and June 12, 2006, for a Purchase Price of $581.25 and $762.39
(representing issue price plus accrued original issue discount to each date),
respectively, representing a 5.50% yield per annum to the Holder on such date,
computed on a semiannual bond equivalent basis. Jacor, at its option, may elect
to pay the purchase price on any such purchase date in cash or Jacor Common
Stock, or any combination thereof. In addition, as of 35 business days after the
occurrence of a change in control of Jacor occurring on or prior to June 12,
2001, each LYON will be purchased for cash, by Jacor, at the option of the
Holder, for a change in control purchase price equal to the issue price plus
accrued original issue discount to the change in control purchase date set for
such purchase. The change in control purchase feature of the LYONs may in
certain circumstances have an antitakeover effect.
Under the LYONs Indenture, a "Change in Control" of Jacor is deemed to have
occurred at such time as (i) any person (as the term "person" is used in Section
13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) other than Zell/Chilmark,
Jacor, any Subsidiary of Jacor, or any employee benefit plan of either Jacor or
any Subsidiary of Jacor, files a Schedule 13D or 14D-1 under the Exchange Act
(or any successor schedule, form or report) disclosing that such person has
become the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the Jacor Common Stock or other
capital stock of Jacor into which such Jacor Common Stock is reclassified or
changed, with certain exceptions, or (ii) there shall be consummated any
consolidation or merger of Jacor (a) in which Jacor is not the continuing or
surviving corporation or (b) pursuant to which the Jacor Common Stock would be
converted into cash, securities or other property, in each case, other than a
consolidation or merger of Jacor in which the holders of Jacor Common Stock
immediately prior to the consolidation or merger own, directly or indirectly, at
least a majority of Jacor Common Stock of the continuing or surviving
corporation immediately after the consolidation or merger. A Change of Control
under the LYONs Indenture constitutes an event of default under the Credit
Facility. See "-- The Credit Facility."
The LYONs Indenture includes various events of default customary for such
type of agreement, such as cross defaults on other indebtedness for borrowed
monies in excess of $10.0 million (which indebtedness would therefore include
the Credit Facility, the 1996 9 3/4% Notes and the 1996 10 1/8% Notes) and
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization.
THE 1996 9 3/4% NOTES
In December 1996, JCC conducted an offering (the "1996 9 3/4% Notes
Offering") whereby JCC issued and sold 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006
(the "1996 9 3/4% Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of $170.0 million.
The 1996 9 3/4% Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture between JCC and The
41
Bank of New York, as Trustee (the "1996 9 3/4% Note Indenture"). JCC then lent
the net proceeds of the 1996 9 3/4% Notes Offering to Jacor. The 1996 9 3/4%
Notes have interest payment dates of June 15 and December 15, commencing on June
15, 1997, and mature on December 15, 2006.
The 1996 9 3/4% Note Indenture contains certain covenants which impose
certain limitations and restrictions on the ability of Jacor to incur additional
indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, make certain loans and
investments, apply the proceeds of asset sales (and use the proceeds thereof),
create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, merge,
consolidate or transfer substantially all its assets and make investments in
unrestricted subsidiaries.
If a change of control occurs, JCC will be required to offer to repurchase
all outstanding 1996 9 3/4% Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
There can be no assurance that JCC will have sufficient funds to purchase all of
the 1996 9 3/4% Notes in the event of a change of control offer or that JCC
would be able to obtain financing for such purpose on favorable terms, if at
all. In addition, the Credit Facility restricts JCC's ability to repurchase the
1996 9 3/4% Notes, including pursuant to a change of control offer. Furthermore,
a change of control under the 1996 9 3/4% Note Indenture will result in a
default under the Credit Facility.
As used herein, (a) prior to the earlier of a 1994 9 3/4% Note Event, a
"Change of Control" means any transaction or series of transactions in which any
of the following occurs: (i) any person or group (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act and Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act),
other than Zell/Chilmark or any of its Affiliates, becomes the direct or
indirect "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of
(A) greater than 50% of the total voting power (on a fully diluted basis as if
all convertible securities had been converted) entitled to vote in the election
of directors of JCC or CitiCo, or the surviving person (if other than Jacor), or
(B) greater than 20% of the total voting power (on a fully diluted basis as if
all convertible securities had been converted) entitled to vote in the election
of directors of JCC or CitiCo, or the surviving person (if other than JCC), and
such person or group has the ability to elect, directly or indirectly, a
majority of the members of the Board of Directors of JCC; or (ii) JCC or CitiCo
consolidates with or merges into another person, another person consolidates
with or merges into JCC or CitiCo, JCC or CitiCo issues shares of its Capital
Stock or all or substantially all of the assets of JCC or CitiCo are sold,
assigned, conveyed, transferred, leased or otherwise disposed of to any person
as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in one transaction or a series of
related transactions and the effect of such consolidation, merger, issuance or
sale is as described in clause (i) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred by virtue of (I) JCC or any
of its employee benefit or stock plans filing (or being required to file after
the lapse of time) a Schedule 13D or 14D-1 (or any successor or similar
schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act) or (II) the purchase by one or
more underwriters of Capital Stock of JCC in connection with a Public Offering;
and (b) upon and following a 1994 9 3/4% Note Event, a "Change of Control" will
mean (i) any merger or consolidation of JCC with or into any person or any sale,
transfer or other conveyance, whether direct or indirect, of all or
substantially all of any of the assets of JCC, on a consolidated basis, in one
transaction or a series of related transactions, if, immediately after giving
effect to such transaction(s), any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used
for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not
applicable) (other than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial
owner," directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in
the aggregate normally entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers,
or trustees, as applicable, of the transferee(s) or surviving entity or
entities, (ii) any "person" or "group" (as such terms are used for purposes of
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not applicable) (other
than an Excluded Person) is or becomes the "beneficial owner," directly or
indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power in the aggregate of all
classes of Capital Stock of JCC then outstanding normally entitled to vote in
elections of directors, or (iii) during any period of 12 consecutive months
after the Issue Date, individuals who at the beginning of any such 12-month
period constituted the Board of Directors of JCC (together with any new
directors whose election by such Board or whose nomination for election by the
shareholders of JCC was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then
still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or
whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for
any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of JCC then in
office.
42
The events of default under the 1996 9 3/4% Note Indenture include various
events of default customary for such type of agreement, including the failure to
pay principal and interest when due on the 1996 9 3/4% Notes, cross defaults on
other indebtedness for borrowed monies in excess of $5.0 million (which
indebtedness would therefore include the Credit Facility, the LYONs and the 1996
10 1/8% Notes) and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Jacor and/or JCC may sell the Securities to one or more underwriters for
public offering and sale in the United States or Canada by them or may sell the
Securities to investors directly or through agents. Any such underwriter or
agent involved in the offer and sale of Securities will be named in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement. Jacor and JCC have reserved the right to sell
Securities directly to investors on its own behalf in those jurisdictions where
and in such manner as it is authorized to do so.
Underwriters may offer and sell Securities at a fixed price or prices, which
may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices
related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. Jacor and/or
JCC also may, from time to time, authorize dealers, acting as Jacor's agents, to
offer and sell Securities upon the terms and conditions as are set forth in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement. In connection with the sale of Securities,
underwriters may receive compensation from Jacor and/or JCC in the form of
underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from
purchasers of the Securities for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may
sell Securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation
in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters
and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.
Any underwriting compensation paid by Jacor and/or JCC to underwriters or
agents in connection with the offering of Securities, and any discounts,
concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers,
will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Dealers and agents
participating in the distribution of Securities may be deemed to be
underwriters, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit
realized by them on resale of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled,
under agreements entered into with Jacor and/or JCC, to indemnification against
and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act.
If so indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, Jacor and/or JCC will
authorize dealers acting as Jacor's and/or JCC's agents to solicit offers by
certain institutions to purchase the Securities from Jacor and/or JCC at the
public offering price set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement pursuant
to delayed delivery contracts ("Contracts") providing for payment and delivery
on the date or dates stated in such Prospectus Supplement. Each Contract will be
for an amount not less than the amounts stated in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement. Institutions with whom Contracts, when authorized, may be made
include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds,
investment companies, educational and charitable institutions, and other
institutions but will in all cases be subject to the approval of Jacor and/or
JCC. Contracts will not be subject to any conditions except (i) the purchase by
the institution of the Securities covered by its Contract shall not at the time
of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United
States to which such institution is subject, and (ii) if the Securities are
being sold to underwriters, Jacor and/or JCC shall have sold to such
underwriters the total amount specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
A commission indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement will be paid to
underwriters and agents soliciting purchases of Securities pursuant to Contracts
accepted by Jacor and/or JCC.
The rules of the Commission generally prohibit underwriters and other
members of the selling group from making a market in Jacor Common Stock during
the "cooling off" period immediately preceding the commencement of sales in the
offering. The Commission has, however, adopted an exemption from these rules
that permits passive market making under certain conditions. These rules permit
an underwriter or other member of the selling group to continue to make a market
in Jacor Common Stock subject to the conditions, among others, that its bid not
exceed the highest bid by a market maker not connected with the
43
offering and that its net purchases on any one trading day not exceed prescribed
limits. Pursuant to these exemptions, certain underwriters and other members of
the selling group may engage in passive market making in Jacor Common Stock
during the cooling off period.
VALIDITY OF SECURITIES
Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement relating
to the Securities, the validity of the Securities offered hereby will be passed
upon for Jacor and JCC by Graydon, Head & Ritchey, Cincinnati, Ohio.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Jacor, being incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, is empowered by Section 145 of such law ("Statute"), subject to the
procedures and limitations stated in the Statute, to indemnify any person
("Indemnitee") against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the
Indemnitee in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding to which an Indemnitee is made a party or threatened to be made a
party by reason of the Indemnitee's being or having been a director, officer,
employee or agent of Jacor or a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the
request of Jacor. The Statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its
provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person
may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. The Statute also provides that Jacor may
purchase insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent.
Article Sixth of Jacor's Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions
permitted by Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
which eliminate personal liability of members of its board of directors for
violations of their fiduciary duty of care. Neither the Delaware General
Corporation Law nor the Certificate of Incorporation, however, limits the
liability of a director for breaching such director's duty of loyalty, failing
to act in good faith, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating
a law, paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase under circumstances
where such payment or repurchase is not permitted under the Statute, or
obtaining an improper personal benefit.
Article 8 of Jacor's Bylaws provides that Jacor is obligated to indemnify an
Indemnitee in each and every situation where Jacor is obligated to make such
indemnification pursuant to the Statute. Jacor must also indemnify an Indemnitee
in each and every situation where, under the Statute, Jacor is not obligated but
is nevertheless permitted or empowered to make such indemnification. However,
before making such indemnification with respect to any situation covered by the
preceding sentence, (i) Jacor shall promptly make or cause to be made, by any of
the methods referred to in subsection (d) of the Statute, a determination as to
whether the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Jacor, and,
in the case of any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe that such Indemnitee's conduct was unlawful and (ii) no such
indemnification shall be made unless it is determined that such Indemnitee acted
in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of Jacor, and, in the case of any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such Indemnitee's
conduct was unlawful.
II-1
Pursuant to authority contained in its Bylaws, Jacor maintains in force a
standard directors' and officers' liability insurance policy providing coverage
of $10,000,000 against liability incurred by any director or officer in his or
her capacity as such.
ITEM 16. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES
See Index to Exhibits.
ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act.
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective Registration Statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the Plan of
Distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by Jacor pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Jacor's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
(and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrants
have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrants of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrants in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
II-2
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Cincinnati, State of Ohio, on this 6th day of
January, 1997.
