Purpose of Transaction Item 4 is to be amended as follows: On August 30, 2000, Clear Channel and AMFM consummated the merger (the "Merger") of AMFM with and into CCU Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Channel ("Merger Sub"), as provided by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 2, 1999, by and among Clear Channel, AMFM and Merger Sub. In connection with the Merger, Clear Channel and AMFM entered into a Consent Decree with the United States Department of Justice (the "Consent Decree"), pursuant to which AMFM agreed to dispose of all of its 26,227,273 shares of Common Stock by December 31, 2002 (the "Sell Down"). The description of the Consent Decree contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Consent Decree, which was filed as Exhibit 99(a) to the Second Amended 13D and is incorporated herein by reference in response to this Item 4. On January 11, 2001, in connection with the Sell Down, AMFM Operating, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM and holder of record of the Common Stock, sold 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The sale was made pursuant to an underwriting agreement and registration statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company in accordance with the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in Item 6 below) on September 8, 2000, and which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 21, 2000, for a price to AMFM Operating of $42.25 per share. Up to an additional 750,000 shares of Common Stock may be purchased from AMFM Operating at the same price per share by the underwriter to cover over-allotments. The terms of the underwriting agreement are described in greater detail in Item 6 below. In addition, from November 16, 2000 to January 4, 2001, AMFM Operating sold 2,112,200 shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), which sales were also made in connection with the Sell Down. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the terms and conditions of the Consent Decree, the Reporting Person reserves the right to acquire, or cause to be acquired, additional securities of the Company, to dispose of, or cause to be disposed, such securities at any time or to formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Company or any of its securities, to the extent deemed advisable in light of general investment and trading policies of the Reporting Person, market conditions or other factors. Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer Item 5 is to be amended as follows: (a) and (b) Each of the Filing Parties may be deemed to have beneficially owned in the aggregate 19,115,073 shares of the Common Stock of the Company by virtue of AMFM Operating's ownership of such shares. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D represents approximately 23.92% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of November 27, 2000 (the most recent date that the Company's outstanding share information has been made publicly available). Based upon the terms of the Company's certificate of incorporation, the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote on matters submitted to stockholders as a single class (except as otherwise required by Delaware law), with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes. Therefore, each of the Filing Parties may be deemed to have shared voting power representing approximately 7.65% of the outstanding voting power of the Company as of November 27, 2000. Each of the Filing Parties disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D not owned of record by it. (c) Except as set forth herein, to the knowledge of the Filing Parties with respect to the other persons named in response to paragraph (a), none of the persons named in response to paragraph (a) has effected any transactions in shares of the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

                 Re: Lamar Advertising Company - Public Offering

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         The undersigned  understands that you, acting on behalf of yourself and
the several Underwriters,  propose to enter into an Underwriting  Agreement (the
"Underwriting Agreement") with Lamar Advertising Company, a Delaware corporation
(the  "Company"),  and a selling  shareholder  to be named therein (the "Selling
Shareholders")  providing for the public offering (the "Public Offering") by the
several  Underwriters  to be named in Schedule I to the  Underwriting  Agreement
(the  "Underwriters")  of common  stock,  par value $.001 per share (the "Common
Stock"),  of the Company.  Capitalized  terms set forth herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

         In  consideration of the  Underwriters'  agreement to purchase and make
the  Public  Offering  of the  Common  Stock,  and for other  good and  valuable
consideration  receipt of which is hereby  acknowledged,  the undersigned hereby
agrees that,  without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
on behalf of the  Underwriters,  the  undersigned  will not,  during  the period
commencing on the date of the  prospectus  relating to the Public  Offering (the
"Prospectus")  and ending 60 days thereafter,  (1) offer,  pledge,  announce the
intention  to sell,  sell,  contract  to sell,  sell any option or  contract  to
purchase,  purchase any option or contract to sell,  grant any option,  right or
warrant  to  purchase,   or  otherwise  transfer  or  dispose  of,  directly  or
indirectly,  any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or any securities of the
Company which are substantially similar to the Common Stock, including,  but not
limited to, (x) any securities  convertible  into or exercisable or exchangeable
for  Common  Stock or (y) any shares of Common  Stock  which may be deemed to be
beneficially  owned  by  the  undersigned  in  accordance  with  the  rules  and
regulations  of the Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  or (2) enter into any
swap, option, future, forward or other agreement that transfers,  in whole or in
part, any of the economic  consequences  of ownership of the Common Stock or any
securities of the Company which are  substantially  similar to the Common Stock,
including, but not limited to, any securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Common Stock, whether any such transaction  described in clause
(1) or (2) above is to be  settled  by  delivery  of Common  Stock or such other
securities,  in cash or otherwise.  In addition,  the  undersigned  agrees that,
without the prior written  consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. on behalf of
the Underwriters, it will not, during the aforementioned 60-day period, make any
demand for,  or exercise  any right with  respect  to, the  registration  of any
shares of Common Stock or any securities of the Company which are  substantially
similar to the Common  Stock,  including,  but not  limited  to, any  securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the undersigned is an individual,  he
or she may transfer any Common Stock (or options  exercisable  into Common Stock
granted  under the  Company's  existing  stock option plans which are  otherwise
transferable in accordance with such plans) either during his or her lifetime or
on death by will or by intestacy to his or her immediate family or to a trust or
other entity the  beneficiaries  or equity holders of which are  exclusively the
undersigned and/or a member of his or her immediate family;  provided,  however,
that in any  such  case  it  shall  be a  condition  to the  transfer  that  the
transferee  execute an agreement  stating that the  transferee  is receiving and
holding the Common Stock (or options  exercisable into Common Stock) transferred
subject to the  provisions  of this  Lock-Up  Agreement,  and there  shall be no
further transfer of such Common Stock (or options exercisable into Common Stock)
except in accordance with this Lock-Up  Agreement.  For purposes of this Lock-Up
Agreement,  "immediate  family" shall mean spouse,  lineal  descendant,  father,
