deferred compensation in the future according to the terms of the Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Obligations are general unsecured obligations of the Registrant that are subject to the
claims of its general creditors and rank equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness of the Registrant outstanding from time to time. With respect to their recordkeeping
account balances under the Plan, participants and their beneficiaries will be unsecured general
creditors of the Registrant. The Plan is considered entirely unfunded for tax purposes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant may establish a &#147;rabbi trust&#148; to serve as a source of funds from which it can

the Registrant&#146;s general creditors. Participants in the Plan will have no rights to any assets
held by a rabbi trust, except as general creditors of the Registrant.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The amount to be deferred by each participant in the Plan will be determined in accordance
with the Plan based on the participant&#146;s elections. Matching contributions by the Registrant to a
participant&#146;s recordkeeping account may also be made at the sole discretion of the Registrant.
Amounts credited to a participant&#146;s recordkeeping account will be credited with such notional
earnings, gains, and losses as would have accrued to the participant&#146;s recordkeeping account had
such funds actually been invested in one or more of the hypothetical investment benchmarks
designated by the Registrant from time to time. One of the hypothetical investment benchmarks
historically offered under the Plan provides a return primarily based on the performance of the
Registrant&#146;s common stock. Any dividends that would have been received had such amounts actually
been invested in shares of common stock will also be credited to the participant&#146;s recordkeeping
account. Currently, participants may not direct that new deferrals receive a return based on the
performance of the Registrants&#146; common stock, but transferred amounts may receive a return based on
the performance of the Registrant&#146;s common stock. The Obligations are not convertible into any
other security of the Registrant and there is no trading market for the Obligations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Obligations are payable upon a participant&#146;s termination of employment, death or on the
date(s) selected by a participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and are denominated and
payable in cash. The Registrant may also make a distribution upon an unforeseeable emergency with
respect to a participant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as set forth in the Plan with respect to the designation of beneficiaries, neither a
participant nor any other person will have the right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey rights or benefits
under the Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time for any reason,
except that no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect the right of a participant to
the balance of his or her deferred recordkeeping account as of the date of such amendment or
termination. The Plan will remain in effect until it is terminated.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#147;DGCL&#148;) provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, in which such person is made a party by reason of the fact that
the person is or was a director, officer, employee of or agent to the corporation (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation&#151;a &#147;derivative action&#146;&#146;), if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative
actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred
in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court
approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been
found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other
indemnification that may be granted by a corporation&#146;s certificate of incorporation, bylaws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.

party to any action by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the
legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or while a director or

service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Registrant, whether
the basis of such proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer,

indemnified by this provision when the Registrant receives an undertaking by or on behalf of such

indemnified by the Registrant. Any amendment of this provision will not reduce the Registrant&#146;s

In addition to the foregoing, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant with the SEC

(the "Exchange Act"), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which (i) indicates that
all securities offered under this Registration Statement have been sold or (ii) which deregisters
all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement (other than the portions of such documents, which by statute, by designation
in such document or otherwise, are not deemed to be filed with the SEC or are not regarded to be
incorporated herein by reference) and to be a part of this Registration Statement from the date of
filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed
document that is also incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to
constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
ITEM 4. Description of Securities.
The securities being registered pursuant to the Live Nation, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan") represent obligations (the "Obligations") of the Registrant to pay
deferred compensation in the future according to the terms of the Plan.
The Obligations are general unsecured obligations of the Registrant that are subject to the
claims of its general creditors and rank equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness of the Registrant outstanding from time to time. With respect to their recordkeeping
account balances under the Plan, participants and their beneficiaries will be unsecured general
creditors of the Registrant. The Plan is considered entirely unfunded for tax purposes.
The Registrant may establish a "rabbi trust" to serve as a source of funds from which it can
satisfy the Obligations. Assets of any rabbi trust will at all times be subject to the claims of
the Registrant's general creditors. Participants in the Plan will have no rights to any assets
held by a rabbi trust, except as general creditors of the Registrant.
II-1
Table of Contents
The amount to be deferred by each participant in the Plan will be determined in accordance
with the Plan based on the participant's elections. Matching contributions by the Registrant to a
participant's recordkeeping account may also be made at the sole discretion of the Registrant.
Amounts credited to a participant's recordkeeping account will be credited with such notional
earnings, gains, and losses as would have accrued to the participant's recordkeeping account had
such funds actually been invested in one or more of the hypothetical investment benchmarks
designated by the Registrant from time to time. One of the hypothetical investment benchmarks
historically offered under the Plan provides a return primarily based on the performance of the
Registrant's common stock. Any dividends that would have been received had such amounts actually
been invested in shares of common stock will also be credited to the participant's recordkeeping
account. Currently, participants may not direct that new deferrals receive a return based on the
performance of the Registrants' common stock, but transferred amounts may receive a return based on
the performance of the Registrant's common stock. The Obligations are not convertible into any
other security of the Registrant and there is no trading market for the Obligations.
The Obligations are payable upon a participant's termination of employment, death or on the
date(s) selected by a participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and are denominated and
payable in cash. The Registrant may also make a distribution upon an unforeseeable emergency with
respect to a participant.
Except as set forth in the Plan with respect to the designation of beneficiaries, neither a
participant nor any other person will have the right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey rights or benefits
under the Plan.
The Registrant reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time for any reason,
except that no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect the right of a participant to
the balance of his or her deferred recordkeeping account as of the date of such amendment or
termination. The Plan will remain in effect until it is terminated.
ITEM 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
The opinion of counsel regarding the validity of the deferred compensation obligations that
may be issued under the Plan is provided by Eric Lassen, Deputy General Counsel of the Registrant.
ITEM 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") provides that a corporation may
indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, in which such person is made a party by reason of the fact that
the person is or was a director, officer, employee of or agent to the corporation (other than an
action by or in the right of the corporation—a "derivative action''), if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative
actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred
in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court
approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been
found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other
indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's certificate of incorporation, bylaws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise.
II-2
Table of Contents
The Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that no director
shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except as required by law, as in effect from time to time. Currently, Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL requires that liability be imposed for the following:
•
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant or its stockholders;
•
any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law;
•
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as
provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; and
•
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant's amended and restated bylaws and amended and restated certificate of
incorporation provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now in effect or as
amended, the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless any person made or threatened to be made a
party to any action by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the
legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or while a director or
officer is or was serving, at the Registrant's request, as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including
service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Registrant, whether
the basis of such proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer,
employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, employee or
agent. The Registrant will reimburse the expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by a person
indemnified by this provision when the Registrant receives an undertaking by or on behalf of such
person to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Registrant. Any amendment of this provision will not reduce the Registrant's
indemnification obligations relating to actions taken before an amendment.
The Registrant maintains policies insuring its directors and officers and those of its
subsidiaries against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and
officers.

ITEM 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in aggregate, the changes in
volume and price
II-4
Table of Contents
represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
