ITEM 1.02 TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On November 17, 2011, Salem Communications Corporation (“Salem”) entered into lines of credit with Edward G. Atsinger III, Chief Executive Officer and director of Salem, and Stuart W. Epperson, Chairman of Salem’s board of directors. Pursuant to the agreements relating to the lines of credit, Mr. Epperson committed to provide an unsecured revolving line of credit to Salem in a principal amount of up to $3 million, and Mr. Atsinger committed to provide an unsecured revolving line of credit in a principal amount of up to $6 million (together, the “Affiliate Lines of Credit”).  The proceeds of the Affiliate Lines of Credit may be used for any purpose.  Outstanding amounts under each Affiliate Line of Credit bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (1) five percent (5%) per annum or (2) the maximum rate permitted for subordinated debt under the Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement” shall mean that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2009, and as amended, by and between Salem, as the borrower, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.) plus 2% per annum and must be repaid within three (3) months from the time that such amounts are borrowed. The Affiliate Lines of Credit do not contain any covenants.  There is currently no outstanding balance under the Affiliate Lines of Credit. Salem provided written notice to Mr. Atsinger and Mr. Epperson on April 3, 2013 that Salem has elected to terminate the Affiliate Lines of Credit effective as of May 3, 2013.  There are no early termination penalties or any other amounts that are owed by Salem as a result of termination of the Affiliate Lines of Credit.

On May 21, 2012, Salem entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Roland S. Hinz, a Salem board member.  Pursuant to the LOI, Mr. Hinz committed to provide an unsecured revolving line of credit to Salem in the principal amount of up to $6 million.  On September 12, 2012, Salem and Mr. Hinz amended and restated the original LOI (“Amended and Restated LOI”).  The Amended and Restated LOI increased the unsecured revolving line of credit by $6 million, resulting in a total line of credit of up to $12,000,000 (the “Amended and Restated Hinz Line of Credit”).  The proceeds of the Amended and Restated Hinz Line of Credit may be used for any purpose.  Any outstanding amount under the Amended and Restated Hinz Line of Credit bears interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (1) five percent (5%) per annum or (2) the then-current, applicable indexed rate under the Credit Agreement plus two percent (2%) per annum and must be repaid within six (6) months from the time that such amounts are borrowed.  The Amended and Restated Hinz Line of Credit does not contain any covenants.  There is currently no outstanding balance under the Amended and Restated Hinz Line of Credit. Salem provided written notice to Mr. Hinz on April 3, 2013 that Salem has elected to terminate the Amended and Restated Hinz Line of Credit effective as of May 3, 2013.  There are no early termination penalties or any other amounts that are owed by Salem as a result of termination of the Amended and Restated Hinz Line of Credit.
