Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 — Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

          On July 23, 2010, Cumulus Media Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a fourth amendment to its existing credit agreement, dated June 7, 2006, by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, as amended through June 29, 2009 (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”).

          In connection with the amendment, Bank of America, N.A. has resigned as administrative agent and the lenders have agreed to appoint General Electric Capital Corporation as successor administrative agent under the Credit Agreement for all purposes.

          In addition, the amendment grants the Company additional flexibility under the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) consummate an asset swap of the Company’s radio stations in Canton, Ohio for radio stations in the Ann Arbor, Michigan and Battlecreek, Michigan markets owned by Capstar Radio (and currently operated by the Company pursuant to local marketing agreements); (ii) subject to certain conditions, acquire up to 100% of the equity interests of the Company’s affiliate, Cumulus Media Partners, LLC (“CMP”) or two of its subsidiaries, CMP Susquehanna Holdings Corp. or CMP Susquehanna Radio Holdings Corp.; (iii) subject to certain conditions and if necessary in order that certain of CMP’s subsidiaries maintain compliance with applicable debt covenants, make further equity investments in CMP, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.0 million; and (iv) enter into sale-leaseback transactions with respect to communications towers that have an aggregate fair market value of no more than $20.0 million, so long as the net proceeds of such transaction are used to repay indebtedness under the Company’s term loan facility.

          Some of the lenders under the Credit Agreement, or their affiliates, have various relationships with the Company involving the provision of financial services, including cash management, investment banking and brokerage services. These lenders or their affiliates receive, and expect to receive, customary fees and expenses for these services.
