effective the 1st day of September 2002, between SFX Entertainment, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, doing business as Clear Channel Entertainment (the
“Company”) and Arthur Fogel (the “Executive”). This Personal Services Agreement
replaces any and all previous agreements, including the Employment Agreement
dated July 1, 1999, as amended.




     WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to enter into an employment
and personal services relationship under the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement;



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:



1. TERM.




     The Executive’s term of employment (“Term”) starts on the effective date
of this Agreement and ends on the close of business on December 31, 2007,
hereinafter the “Expiration Date,” unless terminated earlier in accordance
herewith.



2. TITLE AND DUTIES.




     The Executive’s title is President of the Company’s Music-Touring
Division. In this capacity Executive will render special, unique, unusual, and
extraordinary personal services based on the relationships he has developed with
and the experience he has had working with particular musical artists
(including, without limitation, those artists identified in Exhibit B), groups,
managers, and agents, his specialized knowledge of musical touring, his
experience in organizing musical tours, his connections, and his intellect, all
of which have peculiar value to the Company, and the loss of which cannot be
reasonably or adequately compensated in an action at law for damages. In
addition to performing these unique personal services, the Executive shall
perform other job duties that are usual and customary for this position, and
such additional duties, consistent with his position, as the Company may from
time to time direct. The Executive will report to the Co-CEOs of the Company’s
Music Division, (currently) Don Law and Dave Lucas. The Executive will devote
his full working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company.
Although Executive will reside in California and his primary office will be in
Los Angeles, his duties will require him to travel extensively. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Executive shall be permitted, subject to his duties to avoid
competing with the Company, to devote a modest portion of his business time to
personal investments and commitments not related to the business of the Company,
provided that the time devoted thereto shall not interfere in any material
respect with the performance of the Executive’s duties under this Agreement. In
addition, subject to the Executive’s duty to avoid competing with the Company
and to the approval in advance of the Company’s General Counsel, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Executive may serve on boards of directors
of not-for-profit organizations and companies which do not compete with the
Company, provided that service on any such board of directors shall not
interfere in any material respect with the performance of the Executive’s
services under this Agreement. Unless separately consented to in writing,
nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to allow the Executive to serve as
an officer, director, consultant, or employee of Grand Entertainment, Inc.
(“Grand Entertainment”) or Michael Cohl, or any affiliate of any of the
foregoing, or to participate in the business in any fashion of Grand
Entertainment or Michael Cohl, other than by receiving



1









 




dividends distributed in respect of an ownership interest not to exceed five
(5%) percent of all issued and outstanding shares of Grand Entertainment, so
long as (i) such dividends represent not more than the Executive’s proportionate
share of the dividends that Grand Entertainment is making to all holders of the
applicable class of Grand Entertainment equity securities and (ii) without the
prior written consent of the Company’s General Counsel, which consent may be
withheld for any reason whatsoever, the Executive does not acquire additional
Grand Entertainment equity securities (other than in exchange for, or as a
distribution in respect of, the Executive’s current Grand Entertainment equity
securities).

Agreement, the new base salary shall constitute the Executive’s base salary for

     (c) PERFORMANCE BONUS. Commencing with January 1, 2002, the Executive
shall be eligible to receive a Performance Bonus, which bonus shall be payable,
no later than March 31 of each calendar year following the year for which the
bonus is earned. The amount of the bonus shall be calculated as set forth in the
Performance Bonus Calculation attached as “Exhibit A” to this Agreement, and

expense, upon request of the Company and within a reasonable period of time, to
a physical examination designated by the Company. The Company shall maintain the
confidentiality of the results of any such examination, except as may be

Executive’s failure to pass any such physical inspection shall not constitute a
breach of this Agreement.



2









 





     (f) EXPENSES. The Company will pay or reimburse the Executive for all
normal and reasonable travel and entertainment expenses incurred by the
Executive in connection with the Executive’s responsibilities to the Company
upon submission of proper vouchers in accordance with the Company’s expense

Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) to the Executive upon execution of this
Personal Services Agreement or at the direction of the Executive as a bonus
advance (the “Bonus Advance”). Executive will repay this Bonus Advance to the
Company during the course of his employment through offsets against any Key Act
Bonus or Performance Bonus earned by Executive. Assuming the Executive completes
the Term, any remaining Bonus Advance that has not been repaid to the Company by
offset shall be deemed earned by the Executive as a Completion Bonus. If the
Executive’s employment is terminated before the Expiration Date, any remaining
unearned Bonus Advance shall be treated as follows: (i) the Executive shall
repay any Unearned Portion of the Bonus Advance within ten (10) business days
following termination, if the Executive is terminated for “Cause” or terminates
without “Good Reason”; (ii) the Executive shall be deemed to have earned any
(otherwise) Unearned Portion of the Bonus Advance if the Executive terminates
with “Good Reason” or is terminated without “Cause” or “Justification” or due
to death or disability; (iii) solely for purposes of this section and Section
10(c) below, if the Executive is terminated with “Justification,” the Executive
shall repay any Unearned Portion of the Bonus Advance within ten (10) business
days following termination, however in calculating the amount to be repaid the
Executive, in addition to receiving credit for amounts already earned and offset
against the Bonus Advance, the Executive will be deemed to have earned 25% of
the Bonus Advance at the conclusion of each calendar year 2003-2006 during his
employment (by way of example only, if the Executive is terminated with
“Justification” in 2005, the Executive will be deemed to have earned 50%
($750,000) of the Bonus Advance, which amount will be added to any Bonus Advance
offsets previously earned, in determining the amount, if any, the Executive is
required to repay under this section). The “Unearned Portion of the Bonus
Advance” shall mean One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00),
less any amounts in respect of any Performance Bonus or Key Act Bonus offset
against the Bonus Advance.



     (h) In accordance with applicable law, the Company will deduct taxes and

Date. As a condition to the Company’s obligation to make the Payments, Executive
shall execute a general release of all employment-related claims (the “Release”)
that Executive may have against the Company for the Company’s terminating
Executive’s employment, and shall comply with the terms of Paragraphs 5-7 of
this Agreement for a period of 12 months from the date of termination, as well
as Paragraph 4 as written. The Release shall include a release of all
employment-related claims, including without limitation, any and all claims for:
breach of this Agreement; the termination of the Executive’s employment;
wrongful termination; discrimination, harassment or retaliation; breach of
contract; breach of a covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and violation of
any federal, state or municipal statute, including, but not limited to, Title

reduction based on the Executive’s finding of other gainful employment or his
failure to find other gainful employment. For the avoidance of doubt, the
foregoing is not intended, nor shall it be construed, to limit the Company’s

Justification with respect to any Key Act signed before the date of termination
for Justification.

SENIOR MANAGEMENT




PERFORMANCE BONUS CALCULATION




The following bonus amounts will be paid (or offset against
the Bonus Advance in full), in accordance with the Agreement and
the conditions described below:




The basis of calculation for the performance bonus is Earnings
Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT). As used herein, the term
“EBIT” shall mean, for any calendar year, the
Company’s earnings, as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles by the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer (excluding extraordinary non-recurring
items), before deduction of interest and taxes. With regard to
sources of income from a new business acquired or an existing
business disposed of by the Company, appropriate adjustments
will be made so that EBIT growth is determined on a pro forma
basis. Any such pro forma adjustments will be based on the
estimated income of the business prior to its acquisition or
disposition. The EBIT growth percentage target is calculated
each year by taking the year prior’s pro forma
EBITDA (earnings, as determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles by the Company’s Chief
Financial Officer (excluding extraordinary non-recurring items),
before deduction of interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization), multiplying by the Growth Percentage Target and
subtracting the prior year’s depreciation and amortization.
The calculation of EBIT for each calendar year will be made by
the Company’s Chief Financial Officer in good faith and on
a consistent basis from year to year and will be consistent with
SEC financial reporting standards. At the beginning of each
calendar year, the Executive will receive the EBIT and EBITDA
Growth Percentage Targets for that year for his review and
input. The computation of the prior year increase in EBIT must
include payment of all bonuses.
