BY-LAWS

(As Amended through April 2, 2002)

ARTICLE I

OFFICES

        Section 1.    Principal Office.    The principal office of RKO General, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Corporation") in the State of Delaware shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle.

        Section 2.    Other Offices.    The Corporation may also have an office or offices at such other place or places either within or without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.


ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

        Section 1.    Place of Meeting.    All meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for the election of directors shall be held at the office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware, or at such other place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may from time to time be fixed by the Board of Directors or as shall be specified or fixed by the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof. A notice of any change of such place of meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at least twenty days before the election is held in person or by letter mailed to him at his post office address last known to the Secretary of the Corporation. All other meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may from time to time be fixed by the Board of Directors or as shall be specified or fixed in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.

        Section 2.    Annual Meetings.    The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting shall be held at such time and date as may be designated by the Board of Directors from time to time. If the election of directors shall not be held at the annual meeting or at any adjournment of such meeting, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting as soon thereafter as conveniently may be. At such special meeting the stockholders may elect the directors and transact other business with the same force and effect as at an annual meeting duly called and held.

        Section 3.    Special Meetings.    A special meeting of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, by the President or by order of the Board of Directors.

        Section 4.    Notice of Meetings.    Except as otherwise provided by statute, notice of each meeting of the stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given at least ten days before the day on which the meeting is to be held to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting by delivering a written or printed notice thereof to him personally, or by mailing such notice in a postage prepaid envelope addressed to him at his post office address furnished by him to the Secretary of the Corporation for such purpose, or, if he shall not have furnished to the Secretary of the Corporation his address for such purpose, then at his post office address last known to the Secretary of the Corporation, or by transmitting a notice thereof to him at such address by telegraph, cable, radio or wireless. Except where expressly required by law, no publication of any notice of a meeting of stockholders shall be required. Every such notice shall state the time and place of the meeting but need not state the purpose thereof except as otherwise in these by-laws expressly provided. Notice of any



meeting of stockholders shall not be required to be given to any stockholder who shall attend such meeting in person or by proxy; and if any stockholder shall, in person or by attorney thereunto authorized, in writing or by telegraph, cable, radio or wireless waive notice of any meeting whether before or after such meeting be held, notice thereof need not be given to him. Notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders shall not be required to be given, except when expressly required by law.

        Section 5.    List of Stockholders.    It shall be the duty of the Secretary or other officer who shall have charge of the stock ledger, to prepare and make, at least ten days before every election of directors, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, arranged in alphabetical order. For said ten days such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder at the place where said election is to be held, and shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the election during the whole time thereof, and subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present. Upon the willful neglect or refusal of the directors to produce such a list at any election, they shall be ineligible for any office at such election. The original or a duplicate stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine such list or the books of the Corporation or to vote in person or by proxy at such election.

        Section 6.    Quorum.    At each meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting present either in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business except where otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders of the Corporation present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, by majority vote, or, in the absence of all the stockholders, any officer entitled to preside or act as Secretary at such meeting, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, until stockholders holding the requisite amount of stock shall be present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. The absence from any meeting of the holders of the number of shares required by the laws of the State of Delaware or by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or by these by-laws for action upon any given matter shall not prevent action at such meetings upon any other matter or matters which may properly come before the meeting, if the holders of the number of shares required in respect of such other matter or matters shall be present.

        Section 7.    Organization.    At each meeting of the stockholders, the Chairman of the Board of Directors ("Chairman of the Board"), or, in the absence of such officer, the President, or, in the absence of the President, a Vice President, or, in the absence of all of said officers, a chairman chosen by a majority vote of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat shall act as chairman. The Secretary, or, in his absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary at each meeting of the stockholders, or, in the absence of the Secretary and the Assistant Secretaries, the chairman may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

        Section 8.    Transaction of Business.    At each meeting of the stockholders such business may be transacted as may properly be brought before such meeting, whether or not such business is stated in the notice of such meeting or in a waiver of notice thereof, except as otherwise in these by-laws expressly provided.

        Section 9.    Voting.    Each stockholder of the Corporation shall, except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or by these by-laws, at every meeting of the stockholders, be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the stock of the Corporation registered in his name on the books of the Corporation;

        (1)   On the date fixed pursuant to Section 2 of Article V of these by-laws as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting; or

2



        (2)   if no such record date shall have been fixed, then at the date of such meeting; except that at all elections of directors of the Corporation each such stockholder shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of such shares of stock registered in his name on such date, multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and may cast all of such votes for a single director or may distribute them among the number to be voted for, or any two or more of them, as such stockholder may see fit. Except where the transfer books of the Corporation have been closed or a date has been fixed as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote, no share of stock shall be voted on at any election of directors which has been transferred on the books of the Corporation within twenty days next preceding such election of directors.


ARTICLE III

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

        Section 4.    Place of Meeting, Etc.    The board of Directors may hold its meetings at such place or places within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board may from time to time determine or as shall be specified or fixed in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof. Directors of the Corporation may participate in any meeting of the Board of Directors by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in such meeting can hear each other, and such participation in such meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. The Corporation may have one or more offices and, subject to the applicable provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware, may keep the books and records of the Corporation at such place or places within or outside the State of Delaware as the Board may from time to time determine.

Every such notice shall state the time and place of the meeting but need not state the purposes thereof except as otherwise in these by-laws expressly provided. Notice of any meeting of the Board need not be given to any director, however, if waived by him in writing or by telegraph, cable, radio or wireless whether before or after such meeting be held or if he shall be present at the meeting; and any meeting of the Board shall be a legal meeting without any notice thereof having been given, if all of the directors shall be present thereat.

        Section 8.    Organization.    At each meeting of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, or, in his absence, the President, or in the absence of the President, a director chosen by a majority of the directors present shall act as chairman. The Secretary, or, in his absence, an Assistant Secretary, or, in the absence of the Secretary and the Assistant Secretaries, any person appointed by the chairman shall act as secretary of the meeting.

        Section 9.    Removal of Directors.    Any director may be removed, either with or without cause, at any time, by the affirmative vote of a majority in interest of the holders of record of the stock of the Corporation having voting power at a special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation called for the purpose, and a vacancy in the Board caused by such removal may be filled by the stockholders at such meeting.

        Section 10.    Vacancies.    Any vacancy in the Board of Directors caused by death, resignation, removal, disqualification, an increase in the number of directors, or any other cause, may be filled by the majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by the stockholders of the Corporation at the next annual meeting or any special meeting called for the purpose, and each director so elected, shall, except as otherwise provided in these by-laws, hold office for a term to expire at the annual election of directors, and until his successor shall be duly elected and qualified, or until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner herein provided.

        Section 11.    Committees.    The Board of Directors may by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, and in any event the Executive Committee provided for below in this Section 12, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have power or authority in reference to amending the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amending these by-laws; and, unless the resolution constituting the committee expressly so provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock, except that the Executive Committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend.

        In particular, the Board of Directors may create from its membership an Executive Committee of not less than two members. During the intervals between meetings of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, if any, unless restricted by applicable law, shall possess and may exercise, under the control and direction of the Board, all of the powers of the Board of Directors in the management and control of the business of the Corporation including the declaration of any dividend. All action taken by the Executive Committee shall be reported to the Board of Directors at its first meeting thereafter and shall be subject to revision or rescission by the Board, provided, however, that rights of third parties shall not be affected by any such action of the Board. In every case, the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of a committee or their alternates present at a meeting at which a majority of the members or their alternates are present, or the consent of all of the members of a committee, shall be necessary for the approval of any action, and action may be taken by a committee without a formal meeting by written consent of all of the members thereof. Members of a committee may participate in any meeting of the committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in such meetings can hear each other, and such participation in such meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Each committee shall meet at the call of any member thereof and shall keep a written record of all actions taken by it. At each meeting, each committee may appoint a chairman and, at its discretion, may appoint a secretary of the meeting, provided that the Chairman of the Executive Committee shall act as such at each meeting of the Executive Committee at which he is present.
