<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"><B>Other Events </B></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As previously disclosed, on March 7, 2016, iHeartCommunications, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of iHeartMedia, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148; or &#147;we&#148;), received Notices of Default (the &#147;Notices&#148;) from the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of four of the Company&#146;s outstanding series
of Priority Guarantee Notes (the &#147;Holders&#148;). The Notices alleged that we violated certain covenants under the indentures governing the Priority Guarantee Notes (the &#147;Indentures&#148;) when, on December&nbsp;3, 2015, we contributed
100,000,000 shares (the &#147;Shares&#148;) of Class B common stock of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. from Clear Channel Holdings Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, to Broader Media, LLC, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries that is
an &#147;unrestricted subsidiary&#148; under the Indentures (the &#147;Contribution&#148;). The Notices asserted that the alleged defaults would become an &#147;Event of Default&#148; under the Indentures following the expiration of 60 days. An
Event of Default, if it were to occur, would entitle the Holders to accelerate the underlying indebtedness and would trigger events of default under our other material indebtedness. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On March 7, 2016, we filed a lawsuit (Cause No. 2016 CI 04006) in the State District Court in Bexar County, Texas (the &#147;Court&#148;) against the Holders
and the indenture trustees under the Indentures (collectively, the &#147;Defendants&#148;) seeking, among other things, a ruling by the Court through declaratory judgment that we are not in default or in violation of any covenant or provision of the
Indentures (the &#147;Cause&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On March 9, 2016, we obtained a temporary restraining order from the Court (i) rescinding the Notices until the
temporary restraining order expires pursuant to its terms or until further order of the Court, and (ii) restraining and enjoining the Defendants from issuing additional notices of default on the Priority Guarantee Notes or any other indebtedness of
the Company based upon the Contribution.&nbsp;The temporary restraining order expires in 14 days, but for good cause shown, the Court may extend the temporary restraining order up to 14 additional days. As a condition to obtaining the temporary
restraining order from the Court, we agreed not to sell, transfer, encumber, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any interest in, or proceeds of, the Shares until such time as a hearing may be held for a temporary injunction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We continue to believe that the Contribution did not cause a default under any of the Indentures or under the terms of any of our other indebtedness. If,
however, we are unable to obtain the permanent relief we are requesting from the Court or are otherwise unable to successfully contest the validity of the Notices and any subsequent acceleration of a material portion of our indebtedness, then we
would need to pursue other available alternatives to address the claimed defaults. </P>
