Exhibit 3i

EXHIBIT A

SERIES D PERPETUAL PREFERRED STOCK

1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock” and shall have no par value per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), and the number of shares constituting the Series D Preferred Stock shall be 1,000.

2. Rank. All Series D Preferred Stock shall rank, as to payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (any such event, a “Liquidation Event”):

          (a) senior to (i) all classes or series of common stock of the Corporation, whether voting or non-voting, including, without limitation, the Class A Common Stock, no par value (the “Class A Common Stock”), and the Common Stock, no par value (the “Corporation Common Stock”), whether now or hereafter issued (collectively, the “Common Stock”) and (ii) all other shares, interests, participations or other equivalents (however designated) of capital stock of the Corporation which does not constitute Parity Stock or Senior Stock (as each such term is defined below) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “Junior Stock”);

          (b) on a parity with each other series or class of Preferred Stock (as defined in Article 4 of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended) hereafter created, the terms of which expressly provide that such series or class ranks on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends and distribution of assets upon a Liquidation Event (collectively referred to as “Parity Stock”); and

          (c) junior to each series or class of Preferred Stock hereafter created, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to the Series D Preferred Stock as to dividends and distributions of assets upon a Liquidation Event (collectively referred to as “Senior Stock”).

3. Dividends and Distributions.

          (a) The holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) out of funds legally available for such purposes, dividends at the rate of twelve percent per annum (as such rate may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 3, the “Dividend Rate”) of the Par Amount (as defined below) per share (which Dividend Rate shall increase to fifteen percent per annum of the Par Amount per share commencing on January 1, 2009), which shall be fully cumulative and shall accrue without interest from the date of original issuance of such share (whether or not declared by the Board of Directors). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Non-Compliance Event, the Dividend Rate shall be increased by two percent per annum of the Par Amount per share. Dividends shall be payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends shall be payable in cash quarterly on April 15, July 15, October 15 and January 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2008 (except that if any such date is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then such dividend shall be payable on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday) to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on the first day of the month in which the

dividend is to be paid. Cash payments shall be applied to the earliest accrued and unpaid dividend. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period and any period shorter than a full quarterly dividend period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends or other distributions (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Junior Stock) shall be paid, declared or set apart for payment on, and except for the use of Common Stock to enable option holders to exercise stock options pursuant to the stock option plans of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, no purchase, redemption or other acquisition shall be made by the Corporation of, any shares of Junior Stock (and no moneys shall be paid to or made available to a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock) unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock, including the full dividends for the then current dividend period, shall have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid.

          (b) If at any time any dividend on any Senior Stock shall be in default, in whole or in part, no dividend shall be paid, declared or set apart for payment on the Series D Preferred Stock unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Senior Stock, including the full dividends for the then current dividend period, shall have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid. No full dividends shall be paid, declared or set apart for payment on any Parity Stock for any period unless all accrued but unpaid dividends have been, or contemporaneously are, respectively paid, declared or set apart for such payment on the Series D Preferred Stock. No full dividends shall be paid, declared or set apart for payment on the Series D Preferred Stock for any period unless all accrued but unpaid dividends have been, or contemporaneously are, respectively paid, declared or set apart for payment on the Parity Stock for all dividend periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of such full dividends. When dividends are not paid, declared or set aside in full upon the Series D Preferred Stock and the Parity Stock, all dividends paid, declared or set apart for payment upon shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the Parity Stock shall be respectively paid, declared or set apart for payment pro rata, so that the amount of dividends paid, declared or set apart for payment, as the case may be, per share on the Series D Preferred Stock and the Parity Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Series D Preferred Stock and the Parity Stock bear to each other.

          (c) Any reference to “distribution” contained in this Section 3 shall not be deemed to include any distribution or stock dividend made in connection with any Liquidation Event. For purposes of this Section 3 and certain other sections herein, “Par Amount” means $100,000 (as adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or similar event involving the Series D Preferred Stock).

4. Liquidation Preference. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation, whether such assets constitute stated capital or surplus of any nature, an amount equal to the sum of (a) dividends accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holders, without interest, and (b) an amount equal to the Par Amount for each share of Series D Preferred Stock held by them (such sum, as of any given time, the “Liquidation Preference”) and no more, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of Junior Stock; provided, however, that the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to such payment only in the event that the Corporation’s payments with respect to the liquidation preference of the holders of Senior Stock are fully met. After the liquidation preferences of Senior Stock are fully

met, the entire assets of the Corporation available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock in proportion to the respective preferential amounts to which each is entitled (but only to the extent of such preferential amounts). After payment in full of the Liquidation Preference of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, the holders of such shares shall not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. Neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with another corporation nor a sale or transfer of all or part of the Corporation’s assets for cash, securities or other property will be considered a Liquidation Event.

5. Redemption of Series D Preferred Stock.

          (a) Redemption at Option of the Corporation. At any time on or after January 1, 2009, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem at any time all, or from time to time a portion, of the Series D Preferred Stock on any date set by the Board of Directors (any such date, an “Optional Redemption Date”), at a redemption price per share equal to the sum of (i) the product of (A) the Par Amount and (B) the Redemption Premium (as defined below) plus (ii) an amount equal to all dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock accrued and unpaid on such share, pro rata to the date fixed for redemption (or through the date of actual payment if the Corporation fails to satisfy its payment obligations upon a holder’s compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 5(d)) (such amount, as of any given time, the “Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price shall be payable in cash.

          (b) “Redemption Premium” means, with respect to any Optional Redemption Date or Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below), the amount set forth below under the heading “Redemption Premium” for such Optional Redemption Date or Mandatory Redemption Date, as the case may be:

Date of Redemption		Redemption Premium
January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009			1.050
July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009			1.065
January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010			1.080
July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010			1.060
January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011			1.040
July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011			1.020
January 1, 2012 and thereafter			1.000

          (c) In case of the redemption of less than all of the then outstanding Series D Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall effect such redemption pro rata. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not redeem less than all of the Series D Preferred Stock at any time outstanding pursuant to Section 5(a) until all accrued but unpaid dividends upon all Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been paid.

          (d) Mechanics of Optional Redemption. At least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to an Optional Redemption Date, the Corporation shall give notice by a nationally recognized overnight courier and by facsimile transmission with receipt confirmed, to the holders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed, addressed to such shareholders at their last addresses as shown on the books of the Corporation. Each such notice of redemption

shall specify the Optional Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Series D Preferred Stock, that accrued but unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption will be paid on the date fixed for redemption, and that on and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares.

          (e) Any notice which is sent to a holder as herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock receives such notice; and failure to give such notice, or any defect in such notice, to the holders of any shares designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series D Preferred Stock. On or after the Optional Redemption Date as stated in such notice, each holder of the shares called for redemption shall surrender the certificate (or certificates) evidencing such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price and thereupon the Corporation shall pay, or cause to be paid, the full Redemption Price for the shares so surrendered in cash, provided that if a certificate representing shares of Series D Preferred Stock is not surrendered by a holder of record, but such holder delivers an affidavit to the Corporation stating that the certificate or certificates representing its shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation for any loss incurred by it in connection with such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, payment of the full Redemption Price shall be made to such holder. If fewer than all the shares represented by any such surrendered certificate or certificates are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.

          (f) Redemption at Option of Holder of Series D Preferred Stock. At any time on or after June 30, 2015, each holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock (any such holder, an “Exercising Holder”) shall have the right, at the option of such holder, by the giving of a written notice to the Corporation (an “Election Notice”), to require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock of such Exercising Holder at a price per share equal to the Redemption Price on a date specified by such holder that is no less than 30 days following the date of such Election Notice (any such date, a “Mandatory Redemption Date”). The Redemption Price shall be payable in cash. In the event the Corporation fails for any reason to satisfy such repurchase obligation on a Mandatory Redemption Date (the “Mandatory Redemption Obligation”), the Mandatory Redemption Obligation shall be discharged as soon as the Corporation is able to do so.

          (g) Mechanics of Mandatory Redemption. Within ten days of the Corporation’s receipt of an Election Notice, the Corporation shall mail written notice (the “Company Notice”), first class postage prepaid, to the Exercising Holder acknowledging the Mandatory Redemption Date and specifying the Redemption Price, the place at which payment may be obtained for redeemed shares and such other information as the Corporation may deem advisable to provide. If the Corporation is lawfully able to redeem only part of the Series D Preferred Stock requested to be redeemed (the “Redemption Shares”), then the Corporation shall redeem the maximum number of Redemption Shares that it is permitted to redeem on the Mandatory Redemption Date and shall redeem the remaining Redemption Shares on the first day it may lawfully do so unless the holder thereof otherwise determines not to have such shares

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

          (h) Rights After Redemption Date. If, on the date fixed for redemption, funds necessary for any optional redemption pursuant to Section 5(a) or mandatory redemption pursuant to Section 5(f) shall be available therefor and shall have been irrevocably deposited in a separate account, for the benefit of the holders of the shares to be redeemed, in a nationally recognized financial institution, then, notwithstanding that the certificate or certificates evidencing any shares to be redeemed shall not have been surrendered (or that no affidavit of loss and indemnification agreement have been delivered in lieu thereof), the dividends with respect to the shares to be redeemed shall cease to accrue after the date fixed for redemption, the shares shall no longer be deemed outstanding, the holder(s) thereof shall cease to be shareholder(s), and all rights whatsoever with respect to the shares to be redeemed (except the right of the holder(s) to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of the certificate or certificates therefor) shall terminate. The Corporation shall cause any monies deposited by the Corporation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and unclaimed by the holder(s) of the shares to be redeemed at the end of one year from the Optional Redemption Date or Mandatory Redemption Date, as applicable, to the extent permitted by law, to be returned by such financial institution to the Corporation, after which the holder(s) of shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be redeemed who have not claimed the Redemption Price shall look only to the Corporation for the payment thereof. Shares of Series D Preferred Stock redeemed by the Corporation shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, without designation as to series, and may thereafter be reissued, but not as shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

6. Covenants.

     6.1 Limitation on Restricted Payments.

          (a) The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment, unless at the time of and immediately after giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment (with the value of any such Restricted Payment, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith and which determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a board resolution), (i) no Non-Compliance Event (and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an

“event of default” under the terms of any Indebtedness of the Corporation or its Restricted Subsidiaries) shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof, (ii) the Corporation could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.2(a) and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made after the date on which any shares of Series D Preferred Stock are first issued (the “Issue Date”) shall not exceed the sum of (A) an amount equal to the Corporation’s Cumulative Operating Cash Flow less 1.4 times the Corporation’s Cumulative Consolidated Interest Expense, plus (B) the aggregate amount of all net cash proceeds received after the Issue Date by the Corporation from the issuance and sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Corporation) of Capital Stock of the Corporation (other than Disqualified Stock) to the extent that such proceeds are not used to redeem, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire Capital Stock or any Indebtedness of the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 6.1(b), plus (C) in the case of the disposition or repayment of any Investment for cash, which Investment constituted a Restricted Payment made after the Issue Date, an amount equal to the lesser of the return of capital with respect to such Investment and the cost of such Investment, in either case, reduced (but not below zero) by the excess, if any, of the cost of the disposition of such Investment over the gain, if any, realized by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such disposition.

          (b) The foregoing provisions of Section 6.1(a) shall not prohibit, so long as there is no Non-Compliance Event continuing and such payment will not cause a Non-Compliance Event to occur, the following actions (collectively, “Permitted Payments”):

     (i) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at such declaration date, such payment would have been permitted under these Articles of Incorporation;

     (iii) the payment in cash of dividends by the Corporation in respect of its Junior Stock in the ordinary course of business on a basis consistent with past practice in an aggregate amount not exceeding $10.0 million annually;

     (iv) Restricted Investments received as consideration in connection with an Asset Sale made in accordance with Section 6.5(a);

     (v) the making of a Restricted Investment out of the proceeds of the sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Corporation), within one year prior to the making of such Restricted Investment, of Capital Stock of the Corporation (other than any Disqualified Stock);

     (vi) the payment of any dividend or distribution by a Subsidiary that is a Qualified Joint Venture to the holders of its Capital Stock on a pro rata basis;

     (vii) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Capital Stock of the Corporation to effect the repurchase, redemption, acquisition or retirement of Capital Stock that is held by any member or former member of the Corporation’s management (or the management of any of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries), or by any of their respective directors, employees or consultants; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Capital Stock may not exceed the sum of $2.0 million in any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year being available to be so utilized in succeeding calendar years);

     (viii) repurchases of Capital Stock of the Corporation deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options;

     (ix) payments or distributions to dissenting stockholders pursuant to applicable law in connection with a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets that complies with Section 6.5(b); and

     (x) other Restricted Payments not to exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate.

          (c) In computing the amount of Restricted Payments for purposes of clause (iii) of Section 6.1(a), Restricted Payments made under clauses (i), (iii), (v), (vii) and (ix) of Section 6.1(b) shall be included and Restricted Payments made under clauses (ii), (iv), (vi), (viii) and (x) of Section 6.1(b) shall not be included.

     6.2 Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.

          (a) The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or directly or indirectly guarantee or in any other manner become directly or indirectly liable for (“incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) if, at the time of and immediately after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, the Debt to Operating Cash Flow Ratio of the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries is more than 7.0 to 1.0.

          (b) The limitations in Section 6.2(a) shall not apply to the incurrence of any of the following (collectively, “Permitted Indebtedness”):

     (i) Indebtedness of the Corporation incurred under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $960.0 million less the amount of any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Credit Agreement incurred pursuant to clause (vi) of this Section 6.2(b), plus any amount of Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement pursuant to clause (vii) of this Section 6.2(b);

     (ii) Indebtedness of the Corporation outstanding on the Issue Date;

     (iii) Indebtedness owed by any Restricted Subsidiary to the Corporation or to another Restricted Subsidiary, or owed by the Corporation to any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any such Indebtedness shall be held by a Person that is either the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary; and provided, further, that an incurrence of additional Indebtedness which is not permitted under this clause (iii) shall be deemed to have occurred upon either (A) the transfer or other disposition of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Corporation or another Restricted Subsidiary or (B) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of shares of Capital Stock (including by consolidation or merger) of any such Restricted Subsidiary to a Person other than the Corporation or another Restricted Subsidiary such that such Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary;

     (iv) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of guarantees of any Indebtedness of the Corporation which Indebtedness of the Corporation has been incurred in accordance with the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation;

     (v) Indebtedness arising with respect to Interest Rate Hedge Obligations incurred for the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any floating rate Indebtedness (and not for speculative purposes) that is permitted by the terms of these Articles of Incorporation to be outstanding; provided, however, that the notional principal amount of such Interest Rate Hedge Obligation does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness to which such Interest Rate Hedge Obligation relates;

     (vi) any Indebtedness of the Corporation or a Subsidiary of the Corporation incurred in connection with or given in exchange for the renewal, extension, substitution, refunding, defeasance, refinancing or replacement of any Indebtedness of the Corporation or such Subsidiary outstanding on the Issue Date or permitted to be incurred or outstanding under these Articles of Incorporation in accordance with Section 6.2(a) or Indebtedness incurred under this clause (vi) with respect to any of the foregoing (“Refinancing Indebtedness”); provided that (A) the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness shall not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness so renewed, extended, substituted, refunded, defeased, refinanced or replaced (plus the premiums or other payments paid in connection therewith (which shall not exceed the stated amount of any premium or other payments required to be paid in connection with such a refinancing pursuant to the terms of the Indebtedness being renewed, extended, substituted, refunded, defeased, refinanced or replaced) and the expenses incurred in connection therewith); and (B) with respect to Refinancing Indebtedness of any Indebtedness, the Refinancing Indebtedness shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Indebtedness being renewed, extended, substituted, refunded, defeased, refinanced or replaced;

     (vii) Indebtedness incurred by the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary (including any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary

immediately after giving effect to such transaction) to finance any Acquisition; provided that, after giving effect to such Acquisition and incurrence of Indebtedness, (A) the Corporation would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or (B) the Debt to Operating Cash Flow Ratio is lower than it was immediately prior to such Acquisition and incurrence of Indebtedness;

     (viii) Indebtedness incurred by any Unrestricted Subsidiary; and

     (ix) Indebtedness of the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries in addition to that described in clauses (i) through (viii) above, and any renewals, extensions, substitutions, refundings, refinancings or replacements of such Indebtedness, so long as the aggregate principal amount of all such Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (ix) does not exceed $25.0 million at any one time outstanding.

          (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.2:

     (i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness permitted pursuant to clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 6.2(b), the Corporation shall, in its sole discretion, be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 6.2 and may from time to time reclassify such items of Indebtedness in any manner that would comply with this Section 6.2 at the time of such reclassification;

     (ii) Indebtedness permitted by this covenant need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 6.2 permitting such Indebtedness;

     (iii) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in this Section 6.2, the Corporation, in its sole discretion, shall classify such Indebtedness and only be required to include the amount of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses; and

     (iv) accrual of interest (including interest paid-in-kind) and the accretion of accreted value will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 6.2.

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.2, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation may incur pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.

     6.3 Reports. Whether or not the Corporation is then subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Corporation shall provide to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, so long as any shares of Series D Preferred

Stock are outstanding, the annual reports (including annual financial statements), quarterly reports (including quarterly financial statements) and other periodic reports which the Corporation would be required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Corporation were so subject, and such documents shall be mailed to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, addressed to such shareholders at their last addresses as shown on the books of the Corporation, on or prior to the respective dates (the “Required Filing Dates”) by which the Corporation would be required so to file such documents if the Corporation were so subject.

     6.4 Limitation on Liens. The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, assume, incur or permit to exist or to be created, assumed or incurred any Lien on any of its properties or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom to secure any Indebtedness, except for Permitted Liens.

     6.5 Liquidation, Merger or Disposition of Assets.

          (a) Limitation on Asset Sales. The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Sale unless (i) the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, which determination shall be evidenced by a board resolution) of the assets or other property sold or disposed of in the Asset Sale, and (ii) at least 75% of such consideration is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that for purposes of this covenant “cash” shall include the amount of any liabilities of the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary (as shown on the Corporation’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or other property in such Asset Sale (and excluding any liabilities that are incurred in connection with or in anticipation of such Asset Sale), but only to the extent that such assumption is effected on a basis under which there is no further recourse to the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to such liabilities. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 6.5(a), (i) all or a portion of the consideration for any Asset Sale may consist of all or substantially all of the assets or a majority of the Voting Stock of an existing television business, franchise or station (whether existing as a separate entity, subsidiary, division, unit or otherwise) or any business directly related thereto, (ii) Asset Sales having an aggregate value (as measured by the value of the consideration being paid for such assets) not in excess of $35.0 million may be made without regard to clause (ii) of Section 6.5(a), (iii) Asset Sales constituting Specified Asset Sales may be made without regard to clause (ii) of this Section 6.5(a), and (iv) the Corporation may, and may permit its Subsidiaries to, issue shares of Capital Stock in a Qualified Joint Venture to a Qualified Joint Venture Partner without regard to clause (ii) of Section 6.5(a); provided that, in the case of any of clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this sentence, after giving effect to any such Asset Sale and related acquisition of assets or Voting Stock: (x) no Non-Compliance Event shall be continuing; and (y) the Net Proceeds of any such Asset Sale, if any, are applied in accordance with Section 6.6(a).

          (b) Liquidation or Merger. The Corporation shall not consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not the Corporation is the “Surviving Person” as such term is used in

this Section 6.5(b)), or, directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries, sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to another Person or Persons unless: (i) the Surviving Person is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (ii) the Series D Preferred Stock shall be converted into, or exchanged for, and shall become shares of the Surviving Person (if other than the Corporation) having in respect of such Surviving Person the same powers, preference and relative participating, optional or other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, that the Series D Preferred Stock had immediately prior to such transaction; and (iii) at the time of and immediately after such transaction, no Non-Compliance Event shall be continuing; provided that, after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, the Surviving Person would (A) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or (B) the Debt to Operating Cash Flow Ratio of the Surviving Person is lower than that of the Corporation immediately prior to such transaction; provided, further, that this Section 6.5(b) shall not limit or restrict any consolidation, merger or other similar combination between the Corporation and any Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary or between or among Persons that are Restricted Subsidiaries. In the event of any transaction (other than a lease) described in and complying with the conditions listed in the immediately preceding sentence in which the Corporation is not the Surviving Person and the Surviving Person is to assume all the obligations of the Corporation under the Series D Preferred Stock, such Surviving Person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Corporation, and the Corporation would be discharged from its obligations under the Series D Preferred Stock; provided that solely for the purpose of calculating amounts described in clause (iii) of Section 6.1, any such Surviving Person shall only be deemed to have succeeded to and be substituted for the Corporation with respect to the period subsequent to the effective time of such transaction (and the Corporation (before giving effect to such transaction) shall be deemed to be the “Corporation” for such purposes for all prior periods).

     6.6 Application of Net Proceeds of Asset Sales.

          (a) Within 270 days after any Asset Sale, the Corporation may elect to apply or cause to be applied the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale to (i) permanently reduce any Indebtedness of the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary, and/or (ii) make an investment in, or acquire assets directly related to, the business of the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Corporation may temporarily reduce any Indebtedness of the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary or temporarily invest such Net Proceeds in any manner permitted by these Articles of Incorporation. Any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale not applied or invested as provided in the first sentence of this Section 6.6(a) within 270 days of such Asset Sale will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds” on the 271st day after such Asset Sale.

          (b) So long as (i) no Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Event of Default (as defined under the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement and (ii) such offer to redeem is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Credit Agreement or the terms of any Senior Stock, not more than 60 days following any date that the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, the Corporation shall make an offer in accordance with Section 6.6(c) to redeem the maximum number of shares of Series D

Preferred Stock and Parity Stock (on a pro rata basis) that may be redeemed out of all such Excess Proceeds (an “Asset Sale Redemption Offer”) at a cash redemption price per share equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Par Amount, plus (ii) an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid on such share, pro rata to the date fixed for redemption (the “Asset Sale Redemption Price”). To the extent that any Excess Proceeds remain after completion of an Asset Sale Redemption Offer, the Corporation may use the remaining amount for general corporate purposes and such amount shall no longer constitute Excess Proceeds.

          (c) The Corporation shall give notice of the Asset Sale Redemption Offer by a nationally recognized overnight courier and by facsimile transmission with receipt confirmed, to the holders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock, addressed to such shareholders at their last addresses as shown on the books of the Corporation. Each such notice shall describe the Asset Sale Redemption Offer and specify the date fixed for redemption (which shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days after such notice), the Asset Sale Redemption Price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Series D Preferred Stock, that accrued but unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption will be paid on the date fixed for redemption, and that, on and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares.

          (d) Any notice that is sent to a holder as herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock receives such notice; and failure to give such notice, or any defect in such notice, to the holders of any shares designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series D Preferred Stock. On or after the date fixed for redemption as stated in such notice, each holder of the shares to be redeemed shall surrender the certificate (or certificates) evidencing such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the Asset Sale Redemption Price and thereupon the Corporation shall pay, or cause to be paid, the full Asset Sale Redemption Price for the shares so surrendered in cash, provided that if a certificate representing shares of Series D Preferred Stock is not surrendered by a holder of record, but such holder delivers an affidavit to the Corporation stating that the certificate or certificates representing its shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation for any loss incurred by it in connection with such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, payment of the full Asset Sale Redemption Price shall be made to such holder. If fewer than all the shares represented by any such surrendered certificate or certificates are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. If the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds is not sufficient to permit the Corporation to redeem all shares of Series D Preferred Stock tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Redemption Offer, then the entire amount of Excess Proceeds shall be applied to redeem such shares on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the ratio that the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such tendering holder bears to the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by all the holders of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding.

     6.7 Change of Control.

          (a) Subject to the prior repayment in full in cash of all outstanding Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) arising under, pursuant to or related to the Credit Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control, the Corporation shall make an offer to redeem all of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share equal to the sum of (i) 101% of the Par Amount thereof, plus (ii) an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid on such share, pro rata to the date fixed for redemption (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”), in accordance with the terms set forth below (a “Change of Control Offer”).

          (b) Mechanics of Change of Control Redemption. Not more than 60 days following a Change of Control, the Corporation shall give notice of such Change of Control by a nationally recognized overnight courier and by facsimile transmission with receipt confirmed, to the holders of record of the Series D Preferred Stock, addressed to such shareholders at their last addresses as shown on the books of the Corporation. Each such notice of redemption shall describe the Change of Control Offer and specify the date fixed for redemption (which shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days after such notice), the Change of Control Redemption Price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Series D Preferred Stock, that accrued but unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption will be paid on the date fixed for redemption, and that, on and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares.

          (c) Any notice that is sent to a holder as herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock receives such notice; and failure to give such notice, or any defect in such notice, to the holders of any shares designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series D Preferred Stock. On or after the date fixed for redemption as stated in such notice, each holder of the shares to be redeemed shall surrender the certificate (or certificates) evidencing such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price and thereupon the Corporation shall pay, or cause to be paid, the full Change of Control Redemption Price for the shares so surrendered in cash, provided that if a certificate representing shares of Series D Preferred Stock is not surrendered by a holder of record, but such holder delivers an affidavit to the Corporation stating that the certificate or certificates representing its shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation for any loss incurred by it in connection with such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, payment of the full Change of Control Redemption Price shall be made to such holder. If fewer than all the shares represented by any such surrendered certificate or certificates are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.

     6.8 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or services) with any Affiliate of the Corporation or any beneficial owner of ten percent or more of any class of Capital Stock of the Corporation or any

Restricted Subsidiary unless such transaction or series of transactions is on terms that are no less favorable to the Corporation or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than would be available in a comparable transaction in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision will not apply to (a) employment agreements or compensation or employee benefit arrangements with any officer, director or employee of the Corporation entered into in the ordinary course of business (including customary benefits thereunder), (b) any transaction entered into by or among the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (c) transactions pursuant to agreements existing on the Issue Date.

     (ii) the aggregate fair market value (determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, which determination shall be evidenced by a board resolution) of all outstanding Investments owned by the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary being so designated (including any Guarantee by the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof of any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary) shall be deemed to be a Restricted Investment made as of the time of such designation;

     (iii) the Subsidiary being so designated:

     (A) is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary unless either (1) such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding is with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and is fair to the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the determination of a majority of the Independent Directors of the Corporation, or (2) the terms of any such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Corporation in the determination of a majority of the Independent Directors of the Corporation;

     (B) is a Person with respect to which neither the Corporation nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (1) to subscribe for additional Capital Stock or (2) to maintain or preserve

If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet any of the requirements set forth in clause (iii) of Section 6.9(a), it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of these Articles of Incorporation and any Indebtedness, Investments or Liens on the property of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred or made by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Corporation from and after such date.

          (c) The Board of Directors may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that:

     (i) such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if the incurrence of such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 6.2(a);

     (ii) all outstanding Investments owned by such Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be made as of the time of such designation and such designation shall only be permitted if such Investments would be Permitted Investments; and
