 WELLS FARGO & COMPANY 

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES K 
 Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 
 Notes due May 8, 2015

 WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
(hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, the principal
sum of             DOLLARS ($            ) on May 8, 2015 (the “Stated Maturity Date”) and to pay
interest thereon from May 8, 2012 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for quarterly on February 8, May 8, August 8 and November 8, commencing
August 8, 2012 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate per annum specified below until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest next
preceding such Interest Payment Date. The Regular Record Date for an Interest Payment Date shall be the fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a Business Day, prior to such Interest Payment Date. If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day,
interest on this Security shall be payable on the next day that is a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, and without any interest or other payment with respect to the delay. “Business
Day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in New York, New York or Minneapolis, Minnesota.

 Except as described below for the first Interest Period, on each Interest Payment Date,
interest will be paid for the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding that Interest Payment Date. This period is referred to as an “Interest
Period.” The first Interest Period will commence on and include May 8, 2012 and end on and include August 7, 2012. Interest on this Security will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

The interest rate on this Security that will apply during an Interest Period will be determined by the calculation agent for this
Security (the “Calculation Agent”) and will be equal to 3 month LIBOR on the Determination Date for such Interest Period plus 0.25%, subject to the Maximum Interest Rate. 

The “Determination Date” for an Interest Period will be two London Banking Days prior to the first day of such Interest
Period. A “London Banking Day” is any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London Interbank market. 
 “3 month LIBOR” means, for any Determination Date, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars having a 3 month maturity, commencing on the second London
Banking Day immediately following that Determination Date that appear on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Determination Date, if at least two offered rates appear on the Designated LIBOR Page, provided that if
the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, that single rate will be used. The “Designated LIBOR Page” means the display on Reuters, or any successor service, on page LIBOR01, or any other page as may
replace that page on that service, for the purpose of displaying the London Interbank rates for U.S. dollars. 
 If
(i) fewer than two offered rates appear or (ii) no rate appears and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, then the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major banks in
the London Interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for a 3 month period commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following that
Determination Date to prime banks in the London Interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at
that time. If at least two quotations are provided, 3 month LIBOR determined on that Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. 
 If fewer than two quotations are provided, 3 month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m. in New York, New York on that Determination Date by three major
banks in New York, New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, having a 3 month maturity and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at
that time. 
 If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, 3 month LIBOR on such
Determination Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. 
 The “Maximum
Interest Rate” is 4.00% per annum. 

  
 2 

 The Calculation Agent shall, upon the request of a Holder of this Security, provide the
interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective for the next Interest Period. All calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding
on the Company and the Holder hereof. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Paying Agent of each determination of the interest applicable to this Security promptly after the determination is made. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC will initially act as
Calculation Agent. The Company may appoint a successor Calculation Agent with the written consent of the Trustee. 
 Any
interest not punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at
the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date,
or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided in the Indenture. 
 Payment of interest on this Security will be made in immediately available funds at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however,
that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be paid by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s last address as it appears in the Security Register or by wire transfer to such account as may have been
designated by such Person. Payment of principal of and interest on this Security at Maturity will be made against presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Security is a Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary, payments of principal and interest on this Security will be made to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available
funds. 
 This Security is not subject to redemption at the option of the Company or, except as set forth in the next sentence,
repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to May 8, 2015. This Security may be subject to repayment if requested by the authorized representative of a beneficial owner of this Security as described on the reverse hereof under
“Repayment upon Exercise of Survivor’s Option.” This Security is not entitled to any sinking fund. 
  

 
 Reference is
hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 

  
 3 

 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to
on the reverse hereof by manual signature or its duly authorized agent under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose.

 [Reverse of Note] 
 WELLS FARGO & COMPANY 
 MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES K

 Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue 
 Notes due May 8, 2015 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized
issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture dated as of July 21, 1999, as amended or supplemented from time to time (herein called the
“Indenture”), between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are
to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series of the Securities designated as Medium-Term Notes, Series K, of the Company, which series is limited to an aggregate principal amount or face amount, as applicable, of
$25,000,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies. The amount payable on the Securities of this series may be determined by reference to the performance of one or more equity-, commodity- or currency-based
indices, exchange traded funds, securities, commodities, currencies, statistical measures of economic or financial performance, or a basket comprised of two or more of the foregoing, or any other market measure or may bear interest at a fixed rate
or a floating rate. The Securities of this series may mature at different times, be redeemable at different times or not at all, be repayable at the option of the Holder at different times or not at all and be denominated in different currencies.

 Article Sixteen of the Indenture shall not apply to this Security. 

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons and will be either (a) book-entry securities represented by one
or more Global Securities recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary or (b) certificated securities issued to and registered in the names of, the beneficial owners or their nominees. 

The Company agrees, to the extent permitted by law, not to voluntarily claim the benefits of any laws concerning usurious rates of
interest against a Holder of this Security. 
 Modification and Waivers 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected, acting together as a class. The Indenture also contains 

  
 6 

 
provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding affected by certain provisions of the Indenture, acting together as a
class, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with those provisions of the Indenture. Certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences may be waived under the Indenture by the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

 Defeasance 
 Section 403 and Article Fifteen of the Indenture and the provisions of clause (ii) of Section 401(1)(B) of the Indenture, relating to defeasance at any time of (a) the entire
indebtedness on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and certain Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, shall not apply to this Security. The remaining provisions of
Section 401 of the Indenture shall apply to this Security. 
 Authorized Denominations 

This Security is issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof which is an
integral multiple of $1,000. 
 Repayment upon Exercise of Survivor’s Option 

The Company has agreed to repay beneficial ownership interests in this Security, if requested by the authorized representative of the
beneficial owner of such beneficial ownership interest following the death of the beneficial owner, so long as the beneficial ownership interest in this Security was acquired by the beneficial owner at least six months prior to the request (the
“Survivor’s Option”). 
 Upon the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option and the proper tender of a
beneficial ownership interest in this Security for repayment, the Company will repay such beneficial ownership interest in this Security, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the deceased beneficial owner’s
beneficial interest in this Security, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repayment. 
 To be valid, the
Survivor’s Option must be exercised by or on behalf of the Person who has authority to act on behalf of a deceased beneficial owner of this Security under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the personal
representative of or the executor of the estate of the deceased beneficial owner or the surviving joint owner with the deceased beneficial owner). 
 A beneficial owner of this Security is a Person who has the right, immediately prior to such Person’s death, to receive the proceeds from the disposition of such beneficial owner’s interest in
this Security, as well as the right to receive the principal amount of the deceased beneficial owner’s interest in this Security plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 

  
 7 

 The death of a Person holding a beneficial ownership interest in this Security as a joint
tenant or tenant by the entirety with another Person, or as a tenant in common with the deceased holder’s spouse, will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of that beneficial ownership interest in this Security, and the entire principal
amount of the deceased beneficial owner’s interest in this Security held in this manner will be subject to repayment by the Company upon exercise of the Survivor’s Option. However, the death of a Person holding a beneficial ownership
interest in this Security as tenant in common with a Person other than such deceased holder’s spouse will be deemed the death of a beneficial owner only with respect to such deceased Person’s interest in this Security, and only the
deceased beneficial owner’s percentage interest in that beneficial ownership interest in the principal amount of this Security will be subject to repayment. 
 The death of a Person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership interests in this Security will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of this
Security for purposes of the Survivor’s Option, regardless of whether that beneficial owner was the registered holder of this Security, if the beneficial ownership interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent. A
beneficial ownership interest will be deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, community property, or other joint ownership arrangements between a
husband and wife. In addition, the beneficial ownership interest in this Security will be deemed to exist in custodial and trust arrangements where one Person has all of the beneficial ownership interest in this Security during his or her lifetime.
In the case of a joint trust, the joint tenant rules above will apply to the respective beneficial ownership interests. 
 The
Company has the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of this Security as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option will be accepted by the Company from the authorized representative for any individual deceased
beneficial owner of this Security in any calendar year to $500,000. In addition, the Company will not permit the exercise of the Survivor’s Option for any portion of this Security with a principal amount of less than $1,000, and the Company
will not permit the exercise of the Survivor’s Option if such exercise will result in this Security having a principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000. 
 An otherwise valid election to exercise the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn. An election to exercise the Survivor’s Option will be accepted in the order that it was received by the Paying
Agent, except for any beneficial ownership interest in this Security the acceptance of which would contravene the limitation described above. Beneficial ownership interests in this Security accepted for repayment through the exercise of the
Survivor’s Option normally will be repaid on the first Interest Payment Date that occurs 20 or more calendar days after the date of the acceptance. Each tendered beneficial ownership interest in this Security that is not accepted in a calendar
year due to the application of the limitation described in the preceding paragraph will be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order in which all such beneficial interests were originally tendered. If a beneficial ownership
interest in this Security tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is not accepted, the Paying Agent will deliver a notice by first-class mail to the registered holder, at that registered holder’s last known address as
indicated in the Security Register, that states the reason that the beneficial ownership interest in this Security has not been accepted for repayment. 

  
 8 

 Since this Security is a Global Security, DTC, as depository, or its nominee will be treated
as the holder of this Security and will be the only entity that can exercise the Survivor’s Option. To obtain repayment of this Security pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option, the deceased beneficial owner’s authorized
representative must provide the following items to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in this Security is held by the deceased beneficial owner: 

 

	 	•	 	 appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent that: 

 

	 	(a)	the deceased was a beneficial owner of this Security at the time of death and his or her interest in this Security was acquired by the deceased beneficial owner at
least six months prior to the request for repayment, 

  

	 	(b)	the death of the beneficial owner has occurred and the date of death, and 

  

	 	(c)	the representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner; 

 

	 	•	 	 if the beneficial interest in this Security is held by a nominee or trustee of, or custodian for, or other Person in a similar capacity to, the
deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Paying Agent from the nominee, trustee, custodian or similar Person attesting to the deceased’s beneficial ownership in this Security; 

 

	 	•	 	 a written request for repayment signed by the authorized representative of the deceased beneficial owner with the signature guaranteed by a member firm
of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States; 

 

	 	•	 	 if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement; 

 

	 	•	 	 tax waivers and any other instruments or documents that the Paying Agent reasonably requires in order to establish the validity of the beneficial
ownership in this Security and the claimant’s entitlement to payment; and 

  

	 	•	 	 any additional information the Paying Agent requires to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of the Survivor’s Option or to
document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to cause the repayment of this Security. 

 In turn, the
broker or other entity will deliver each of these items to the Paying Agent and will certify to the Paying Agent that the broker or other entity represents the deceased beneficial owner. 

The Company retains the right to limit the aggregate principal amount of this Security as to which exercises of the Survivor’s
Option will be accepted by the Company from the authorized representative for any individual deceased beneficial owner in this Security in any calendar year as described above. All other questions regarding the eligibility or validity of any
exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined by the Paying Agent, in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties. 

  
 9 

 The broker or other entity will be responsible for disbursing payments received from the
Paying Agent to the authorized representative. Forms for the exercise of the Survivor’s Option may be obtained from the Paying Agent. 

Registration of Transfer 
 Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the office or agency of the Company in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota, a new Security or Securities of this series, with the same
terms as this Security, in authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor, as provided in the Indenture and subject to the limitations provided therein and to the limitations
described below, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. 
 This
Security is exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form only if (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a
clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, (y) the Company in
its sole discretion determines that this Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form and notifies the Trustee thereof or (z) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented hereby has occurred and
is continuing. If this Security is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in registered form, bearing interest at the same rate, having the same date of issuance, Stated Maturity Date and
other terms and of authorized denominations aggregating a like amount. 
 This Security may not be transferred except as a whole
by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the Depositary or a nominee of such successor.
Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this Global Security will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the Holders hereof for any purpose under the Indenture.

 Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 
 Obligation of the Company Absolute 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of
and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed, except as otherwise provided in this Security. 

  
 10 

 No Personal Recourse 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or
any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released. 

Defined Terms 

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture unless
otherwise defined in this Security. 
 Governing Law 
 This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

 Exhibit 10.1 
 EXECUTION COPY 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is made this 9th day of January, 2012 by and between Discovery Communications, LLC
(“Company”) and Andrew Warren (“Executive”). 
 As a condition to and in consideration of the mutual
promises and covenants set forth in this Agreement, Company hereby offers Executive and Executive hereby accepts employment upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

 

	I.	DUTIES, ACCEPTANCE, LOCATION 

  

	 	A.	Company hereby employs Executive to render exclusive and full-time services as Chief Financial Officer, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Executive’s duties shall be consistent with his title and as otherwise directed by Company. Executive’s primary office location shall be Company’s corporate headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. Company shall provide Executive with
suitable office space in both the Maryland headquarters and, for the period from Executive’s date of hire until August 31, 2013, suitable office space at the Company’s offices in New York. If Company deems it necessary, subject to
Section IV(D)(1)(b) hereof, Company may change the location where Executive works. 

  

	 	B.	Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of Company. Company reserves the right to change the individual and/or position to whom/which Executive
reports, except the Executive shall not report to a level lower than the Chief Executive Officer. 

  

	 	C.	Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to render the services described above. Throughout his employment with Company, Executive agrees to serve
Company faithfully and to the best of his ability, and to devote his full business time and energy to perform the duties arising under this Agreement in a professional manner that does not discredit, but furthers the interests of Company.

  

	II.	TERM OF EMPLOYMENT 

  

	 	A.	Subject to Section IV, Executive’s term of employment shall be three (3) years beginning on March 26, 2012 and ending on the third anniversary of
that date (“Term of Employment”). 

	 	B.	Company shall have the option to enter negotiations with Executive to renew this Agreement with Executive for an additional term. If Company wishes to exercise
its option to enter negotiations with Executive to renew this Agreement, it will give Executive written notice of its intent to enter such negotiations to renew not later than 270 days prior to the end of the Term of Employment. The Term of
Employment may not, however, be extended unless by mutual agreement of the Company and Executive as to all of the material terms and conditions of the extension. In the event the parties do not enter into an agreement to extend this Agreement for an
additional term, this Agreement shall expire and the Term of Employment shall end on the third anniversary of Executive’s first day of employment; provided, however, that if the Company elects not to renew this Agreement, Executive shall be
eligible for a severance payment pursuant to Section IV(D)(2) herein. If Company offers to renew this Agreement, but the parties are unable to agree on final terms, and Executive terminates employment at the end of the Term of Employment, Executive
will be eligible for a Noncompetition Payment (as defined by, and in accordance with, Sections VI (G) and IV(D)(2), below). 

  

	III.	COMPENSATION 

  

	 	A.	Base Salary. Company agrees to provide Executive with an annual base salary of NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($900,000). Beginning effective the first day
of the Term of Employment, this sum will be paid over the course of twelve months, in increments paid on regular Company paydays, less such sums as the law requires Company to deduct or withhold. Executive’s future salary increases will be
reviewed and decided in accordance with Company’s standard practices and procedures, except that Executive shall not be eligible for a further merit increase in the March 2012 merit increase review. 

 

	 	B.	Bonus/Incentive Payment. In addition to the base salary paid to Executive pursuant to Section III(A), Executive shall be eligible for an annual incentive
payment target of one hundred percent (100%) of his base salary. The portion of the incentive payment to be received by Executive will be determined in accordance with Company’s applicable incentive or bonus plan in effect at that time
(e.g., subject to reduction for Company under-performance and increase for Company over-performance) and will be paid in the accordance with the applicable incentive or bonus plan. 

 

	 	C.	Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate in and to receive any and all benefits generally available to executives at Executive’s level in
the company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan or arrangement. 

  
 2 

	 	D.	Equity Program. Executive will be recommended for awards of nonqualified stock options (“Stock Options”) and restricted stock units
(“RSUs”) under the Discovery Communications, Inc. 2005 Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”), during the first 60 days after Executive’s first day of employment. The award shall be subject to approval by the Equity Compensation
Subcommittee of the Compensation Committee and made in two tranches: an award of Stock Options with a target value of ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000), and an award of RSUs with a target value of ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000). The number of units
for the RSUs will be calculated by dividing the target value by the closing price of Discovery Series A common stock on the day before the date of grant, and the number of Stock Options using the Black-Scholes value as of the last trading day of the
month prior to date of grant. The terms of the grant are subject to the terms of the Stock Plan and implementing award agreements. Beginning in 2013, Executive shall be considered for annual equity awards under the Company’s standard process
for similarly-situated senior executives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company reasonably concludes that Executive has not moved his primary residence to the Washington, DC metropolitan area on or before September 1,
2013, Executive shall not be entitled to be considered for an equity award in 2014. 

  

	 	E.	Relocation. Executive shall receive and be afforded relocation benefits in accordance with Discovery’s relocation policy, as the same may be modified
from time to time. Discovery shall authorize relocation effective January 1, 2013. In addition to the benefits available under the relocation policy, Company shall provide Executive with the transition benefits reflected on Exhibit A to
this Agreement. 

  

	IV.	TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND AGREEMENT 

  

	 	A.	Death. If Executive should die during the Term of Employment, this Agreement will terminate. No further amounts or benefits shall be payable except earned
but unpaid base salary and those benefits that may vest in accordance with the controlling documents for other relevant Company benefits programs, which shall be paid in accordance with the terms of such other Company benefit programs, including the
terms governing the time and manner of payment. 

  

	 	B.	 Inability To Perform Duties. If, during the Term of Employment, Executive should become physically or mentally disabled, such that he is
unable to perform his duties under Sections I (A) and (C) hereof for (i) a period of six (6) consecutive months or (ii) for shorter periods that add up to six (6) months in any eight (8)-month period, by written notice
to 

  
 3 

	 	
the Executive, Company may terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s employment shall terminate upon Executive incurring a “separation from service”
under the medical leave rules of Section 409A. In that case, no further amounts or benefits shall be payable to Executive, except that until (i) he is no longer disabled or (ii) he becomes 65 years old — whichever happens first
— Executive may be entitled to receive continued coverage under the relevant medical or disability plans to the extent permitted by such plans and to the extent such benefits continue to be provided to the Company executives at Executive’s
level in the Company generally, provided that in the case of any continued coverage under one or more of Company’s medical plans, if Company determines that the provision of continued medical coverage at Company’s sole or partial expense
may result in Federal taxation of the benefit provided thereunder to Executive or his dependents, or in other penalties applied to the Company, then Executive shall be obligated to pay the full monthly COBRA or similar premium for such coverage.

  

	 	C.	Termination For Cause. 

  

	 	1.	Company may terminate Executive’s employment and this Agreement for Cause by written notice. Cause shall mean under this paragraph: (i) the conviction of, or
nolo contendere or guilty plea, to a felony (whether any right to appeal has been or may be exercised); (ii) conduct constituting embezzlement, material misappropriation or fraud, whether or not related to Executive’s employment with the
Company; (iii) conduct constituting a financial crime, material act of dishonesty or conduct in violation of Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; (iv) improper conduct substantially prejudicial to the Company’s
business; (v) willful unauthorized disclosure or use of Company confidential information; (vi) material improper destruction of Company property; or (vii) willful misconduct in connection with the performance of Executive’s
duties. 

  

	 	2.	In the event that Executive materially neglects his duties under Sections I(A) or (C) hereof or engages in other conduct that constitutes a breach by Executive of
this Agreement (collectively “Breach”), Company shall so notify Executive in writing. Executive will be afforded a one-time-only opportunity to cure the noted Breach within ten (10) days from receipt of this notice. If no cure is
achieved within this time, or if Executive engages in the same Breach a second time after once having been given the opportunity to cure, Company may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Executive. 

  
 4 

	 	3.	Any termination of employment pursuant to Sections IV(C)(1) or Section IV(C)(2) hereof shall be considered a termination of Executive’s employment “For
Cause” (or for “Cause”) and upon such termination, Executive shall only be entitled to receive any amounts or benefits hereunder that have been earned or vested at the time of such termination in accordance with the terms of the
applicable governing Company plan(s), (including the provisions of such plan(s) governing the time and manner of payment), and/or as may be required by law. “Cause” as used any such Company plan shall be deemed to mean solely the
commission of the acts described in Sections IV(C)(1) or Section IV(C)(2) hereof (after giving effect to the cure opportunity described therein). 

  

	 	D.	Termination Of Agreement By Executive for Good Reason/Termination of Agreement by Company Not For Cause. 

 

	 	1.	Company may terminate Executive’s employment and this Agreement not for Cause (as “cause” is defined above), and Executive may terminate his employment
and this Agreement for “good reason” as defined herein. “Good Reason” for purposes of this Agreement shall only mean the occurrence of any of the following events without Executive’s consent: (a) a material reduction in
Executive’s duties or responsibilities; or (b) Company’s material change in the location of the Company office where Executive works (i.e., relocation to a location outside the Washington, DC metropolitan area), provided however, that
Executive must provide the Company with written notice of the existence of the change constituting Good Reason within sixty (60) days of any such event having occurred, and allow the Company thirty (30) days to cure the same. If Company so
cures the change, Executive shall not have a basis for terminating his/her employment for Good Reason with respect to such cured change. In addition, in the event a change occurs that triggers Executive’s right to terminate this Agreement for
Good Reason, Executive must exercise his right in writing to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason within ninety (90) days of the effective date of the applicable change or upon the change becoming known to him or such right shall be deemed
waived. 

  

	 	2.	If Company terminates Executive’s employment and this Agreement not for Cause, or if Executive terminates his employment and this Agreement for Good Reason then
the following payments (“Severance Payment”) will be made: 

 (a) Subject to paragraph 3 immediately
below, on the Release Deadline (as defined below), Company will commence to pay Executive Executive’s annual base salary for the longer of (i) the balance of the Term of Employment, (ii) fifty-two (52) weeks, or (iii) the
number of weeks of severance to which the Executive would have been entitled had the Company’s then-current redundancy severance plan applied to Executive’s termination (the “Base Salary Continuation”). In the event the period of
Base Salary Continuation is calculated under Section 2(a)(ii) or 2(a)(iii) of this paragraph and the Company relieves the Executive of all of Executive’s work responsibilities for some period of time prior to the effective date of
Executive’s termination of employment, this period of “garden leave” shall be offset against the number of weeks of Base Salary Continuation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Base Salary Continuation may in no event be less than
thirteen (13) weeks. 

  
 5 

 The Base Salary Continuation shall be paid in substantially equal increments on regular
Company paydays, less required deductions and withholdings, until the balance is paid in full. 
 (b) Executive will be paid
(i) the prorated portion of his bonus under Company’s incentive or bonus plan for the year in which the termination occurs (the “Prorated Bonus”), and (ii) an additional bonus amount equal to Executive’s unprorated
annual bonus, at target. The bonus/incentive payment portion of the Severance Payment will be paid in the year following the calendar year in which the termination occurs on the date that Company pays bonuses/incentive payments to its other
executives at Executive’s level in the Company (on or before March 15 of the calendar year following the year of termination), and the Prorated Bonus shall be subject to satisfying the performance conditions of the bonus/incentive plan and
the terms and conditions of the actual bonus/incentive plan in effect at the time. 
  

	 	3.	No Severance Payment will be made if Executive fails to sign a release in the form attached hereto. Such release must be executed and become effective within the sixty
(60) calendar day period following the date of Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A (the last day of such period being the “Release Deadline”). No Severance Payment will be made
if Executive violates the provisions of Section VI hereof, in which case all Severance Payment shall cease, and those already made shall be forfeited. 

  
 6 

	 	4.	Company agrees that if, at the time Executive is Terminated not For Cause, or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, Company has a standard severance
policy in effect that would be applicable in the absence of this Agreement (i.e., applicable to the circumstances surrounding the termination) and that would result in Executive’s receiving a sum greater than this Severance Payment, Executive
will receive whichever is the greater of these two payments; provided, that if (i) the standard severance policy would provide for a sum greater than the Severance Payment, and (ii) the payment schedule under the Severance Policy is
different from the payment schedules for the Severance Payment and would result in an impermissible acceleration or delay in payment in violation of the time and manner of payment requirements of Section 409A, then the payment schedule provided
in the Company’s standard severance policy shall only apply to the portion of the amount payable under the standard severance policy that exceeds the Severance Payment. 

 

	 	5.	If Executive terminates this Agreement before the Term of Employment has expired for a reason other than those stated in Section IV(D)(1) hereof, it will be deemed a
material breach of this Agreement. Executive agrees that, in that event, in addition to any other rights and remedies which Company may have as a result of such breach, he will forfeit all right and obligations to be compensated for any remaining
portion of his annualized base salary, Severance Payment, bonus/incentive payment that may otherwise be due under this Agreement, pursuant to other Company plans or policies, or otherwise, except as may be required by law. 

 

	 	E.	 Right To Offset. In the event that Executive secures employment or any consulting or contractor or business arrangement for services he
performs during the period that any payment from Company is continuing under Section IV(D) hereof, Executive shall have the obligation to timely notify Company of the source and amount of payment (“Offset Income”). Company shall have the
right to reduce the amounts it would otherwise have to pay Executive by the Offset Income. Executive acknowledges and agrees that any deferred compensation for his services from another source that are performed while receiving Severance Payment
from Company, will be treated as Offset Income (regardless of when Executive chooses to receive such compensation). In addition, to the extent that Executive’s compensation arrangement for the services include elements that are required to be
paid later in the term of the arrangement (e.g., bonus or other payments that are earned in full 

  
 7 

	 	
or part based on performance or service requirements for the period during which the Severance Payment is made), the Company may calculate the Offset Income by annualizing or by using any other
reasonable methodology to attribute the later payments to the applicable period of the Severance Payment. Executive agrees to provide Company with information sufficient to determine the calculation of the Offset Income, including compensation
excerpts of any employment agreement or other contract for services, Form W-2s, and any other documentation that the Company reasonably may require, and that failure timely to provide notice to the Company of Offset Income or to respond to inquiries
from Company regarding any such Offset Income shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Executive also agrees that Company shall have the right to inquire of third party individuals and entities regarding potential Offset Income and to
inform such parties of Company’s right of offset under this Agreement with Executive. Accordingly, Executive agrees that no further Severance Payment from Company will be made until or unless this breach is cured and that all payments from
Company already made to Executive, during the time he failed to disclose his Offset Income, shall be forfeited and must be returned to Company upon its demand. Any offsets made by the Company pursuant to this Section IV(E) shall be made at the same
time and in the same amount as a Severance Payment amount is otherwise payable (applying the Offset Income to the Company’s payments in the order each are paid) so as not to accelerate or delay the payment of any Severance Payment installment.
Furthermore, in the event that Executive provides Competitive Services during the first six months after the expiration of the Restricted Period (both as defined in Section VI), and fails to obtain the Company’s prior written consent to do so,
Executive shall not be entitled to any Severance Payment during any period of such six-month period in which he is providing Competitive Services. 

  

	 	F.	Mitigation. In the event of termination of employment pursuant to Section IV(D) herein, and during the period that any payment from Company is continuing
or due under Section IV(D), Executive shall be under a continuing obligation to seek other employment, including taking all reasonable steps to identify and apply for any comparable, available jobs for which Executive is qualified. At the
Company’s request, Executive may be required to furnish to the Company proof that Executive has engaged in efforts consistent with this paragraph, and Executive agrees to comply with any such request. Executive further agrees that the
Company may follow-up with reasonable inquiries to third parties to confirm Executive’s mitigation efforts. Should the Company determine in good faith that Executive failed to take reasonable steps to secure alternative employment
consistent with this paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to cease any payments due to Executive pursuant to Section IV(D)(2). 

  
 8 

	V.	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

  

	 	A.	Executive acknowledges his fiduciary duty to Company. As a condition of employment, Executive agrees to protect and hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit
of Company all confidential information, knowledge or data, including the terms of this Agreement and, without limitation, all trade secrets relating to Company or any of its subsidiaries, and their respective businesses, (i) obtained by the
Executive during his employment by Company or otherwise and (ii) that is not otherwise publicly known (other than by reason of an unauthorized act by the Executive). After termination of the Executive’s employment with Company, Executive
shall not communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than Company and those designated by it, without the prior written consent of Company. 

 

	 	B.	In the event that Executive is compelled, pursuant to a subpoena or other order of a court or other body having jurisdiction over such matter, to produce any
information relevant to Company, whether confidential or not, Executive agrees to provide Company with written notice of this subpoena or order so that Company may timely move to quash if appropriate. 

 

	 	C.	Executive also agrees to cooperate with Company in any legal action for which his participation is needed. Company agrees to try to schedule all such meetings so
that they do not unduly interfere with Executive’s pursuits after he is no longer in Company’s employ. 

  

	VI.	RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS 

  

	 	A.	 Executive covenants that during his employment with Company and, for a period of twelve (12) months after the conclusion of
Executive’s employment with Company (the “Restricted Period”), he will not, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of any entity or individual, engage in the following activities within the Restricted Territory:
(a) become or provide services as an officer, employee, director, agent, representative, associate or consultant or have a proprietary interest in any entity that is primarily engaged in non-fiction television programming services, or
(b) in any way provide services to any entity or individual in which Executive’s primary responsibilities relate to non-fiction television programming services (“Competitive Services”). The Restricted Territory is the United
States and any other country for which the Executive had management responsibility (e.g., supervised employees located in that country or was involved in business or programming operations in that country) at any time during the three (3) years
prior to the Executive’s separation from employment. This provision shall not prevent Executive from owning stock in any publicly-traded 

  
 9 

	 	
company. Executive agrees that this Section VI (A) is a material part of this Agreement, breach of which will cause Company irreparable harm and damages, the loss of which cannot be
adequately compensated at law. In the event that the provisions of this paragraph should ever be deemed to exceed the limitations permitted by applicable laws, Executive and Company agree that such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum
limitations permitted by the applicable laws. In the event that the Executive is placed on “garden leave” pursuant to Section IV (D) prior to separation and the period of Base Salary Continuation is less than twelve months, the
Restricted Period shall be twelve months or the period of Base Salary Continuation, whichever is shorter. 

  

	 	B.	If Executive wishes to pursue Competitive Services during the Restricted Period and to obtain the written consent of the Company before doing so, Executive may
request consent from the Company by providing written evidence, including assurances from Executive and his potential employer, that the fulfillment of Executive’s duties in such proposed work or activity would not involve any use, disclosure,
or reliance upon the confidential information or trade secrets of the Company. 

  

	 	C.	During his employment and for a period of twelve (12) months following the conclusion of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive covenants that
he will not directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, interfere with otherwise attempt to entice, any employees of Company or its subsidiary and affiliated companies to leave their employment. 

 

	 	D.	During his employment and for a twelve (12) month period following the conclusion of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive covenants that he
will not directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, interfere with or otherwise attempt to entice, solicit, induce or encourage any vendor, producer, independent contractor, or business partner to terminate its business relationship with Company or
its subsidiary and affiliated companies. 

  

	 	E.	During the period Executive is employed by Company, Executive covenants and agrees not to engage in any other business activities whatsoever, or to directly or
indirectly render services of a business, commercial or professional nature to any other business entity or organization, regardless of whether Executive is compensated for these services. The only exception to this provision is if Executive obtains
the prior written consent of Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. 

  

	 	F.	 Throughout the period that Executive is an employee of Company, Executive agrees to disclose to Company any direct investments (i.e., an
investment in which Executive has made the decision to invest in a particular company) he has in a company that is Company’s Competitor or that Company is doing business with during the Term of Employment

  
 10 

	 	
(“Company”), if such direct investments result in Executive or Executive’s immediate family members, and/or a trust established by Executive or Executive’s immediate family
members, owning five percent or more of such a Competitor or Company. This Section VI(F) shall not prohibit Executive, however, from making passive investments (i.e., where Executive does not make the decision to invest in a particular company, even
if those mutual funds, in turn, invest in such a Competitor or Company). Regardless of the nature of Executive’s investments, Executive herein agrees that his investments may not materially interfere with Executive’s obligations and
ability to provide services under this Agreement. 

  

	 	G.	If Company offers to renew this Agreement, Executive declines such renewal offer from the Company, and Executive terminates employment at the end of the Term of
Employment, Executive will be eligible for a Noncompetition Payment. Provided that Executive signs a release in the form attached hereto, and such release is executed and becomes effective on or before the Release Deadline (as defined in Section
IV(D)(2)), on the Release Deadline, Company will commence to pay Executive an amount equal to 50% of Executive’s annual base salary for the Restricted Period. The Noncompetition Payment shall be paid in substantially equal increments on regular
Company paydays, less required deductions and withholdings, until the balance is paid in full, provided that Executive complies with the provisions of this Section VI. 

 

	 	H.	In the event that Executive violates any provision of this Section VI, in addition to any injunctive relief and damages to which Executive acknowledges Company
would be entitled, all Severance Payment or Noncompetition Payment to Executive, if any, shall cease, and those already made will be forfeited. 

  

	VII.	ARBITRATION 

  

	 	A.	Submission To Arbitration. Company and Executive agree to submit to arbitration all claims, disputes, issues or controversies between Company and
Executive or between Executive and other employees of Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively “Claims”) directly or indirectly relating to or arising out of Executive’s employment with Company or the termination of
such employment including, but not limited to Claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990,
Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1966, as amended, the Family Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, any Claim arising out of this Agreement, and any similar federal, state or local law, statute, regulation or
common law doctrine. 

  
 11 

	 	B.	Use Of AAA. Choice of Law. All Claims for arbitration shall be presented to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its
applicable rules. The arbitrator(s) shall be directed to apply the substantive law of federal and state courts sitting in Maryland, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any arbitration, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be deemed an
arbitration proceeding subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. 

  

	 	C.	Binding Effect. Arbitration will be binding and will afford parties the same options for damage awards as would be available in court. Executive and
Company agree that discovery will be allowed and all discovery disputes will be decided exclusively by arbitration. 

  

	 	D.	Damages and Costs. Any damages shall be awarded only in accord with applicable law. The arbitrator may only order reinstatement of the Executive if money
damages are insufficient. The parties shall share equally in all fees and expenses of arbitration. However, each party shall bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of proof. 

 

	VIII.	CONTROLLING LAW AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS 

  

	 	A.	The validity and construction of this Agreement or any of its provisions shall be determined under the laws of Maryland. The invalidity or unenforceability of
any provision of this Agreement shall not affect or limit the validity and enforceability of the other provisions. 

  

	 	B.	If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless
continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated. 

  

	 	C.	Executive expressly acknowledges that Company has advised Executive to consult with independent legal counsel of his choosing to review and explain to Executive
the legal effect of the terms and conditions of this Agreement prior to Executive’s signing this Agreement. 

  

	 	D.	 This Agreement supersedes any and all other agreements, either oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to the employment of
Executive by Company, and contains all of the covenants and agreements between the parties with respect to such employment in any manner whatsoever. 

  
 12 

 
Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, orally or otherwise, have been made by any party, or anyone acting on behalf of any party,
that are not stated in this Agreement, and that no other agreement, statement or promise not contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding. 
  

	 	E.	Any modifications to this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by the party to be charged. 

 

	 	F.	Any payments to be made by Company hereunder shall be made subject to applicable law, including required deductions and withholdings. 

 

	 	G.	Section 409A of the Code.  

  

	 	1.	It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively,
“Code Section 409A”), and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
have no liability with regard to any failure to comply with Code Section 409A so long as it has acted in good faith with regard to compliance therewith. 

 

	 	2.	If under this Agreement, an amount is to be paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Code Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate
payment. 

  

	 	3.	A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of amounts or benefits upon
or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a
“resignation,” “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean Separation from Service. 

  

	 	4.	If Executive is deemed on the date of termination of his employment to be a “specified employee”, within the meaning of that term under
Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if none, the default methodology, then: 

 

	 	a.	With regard to any payment, the providing of any benefit or any distribution of equity upon separation from service that constitutes “deferred compensation”
subject to Code Section 409A, such payment, benefit or distribution shall not be made or provided prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or
(ii) the date of the Executive’s death; and 

  
 13 

	 	b.	On the first day of the seventh month following the date of Executive’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, on the date of his death, (x) all payments
delayed pursuant to this Section VIII(G)(4) (whether they would otherwise have been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and
benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal dates specified from them herein and (y) all distributions of equity delayed pursuant to this Section VIII(G)(4) shall be made to Executive.

  

	 	5.	With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Code Section 409A,
(i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, of in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not
affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be violated without regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by
Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of the Executive’s taxable year
following the taxable year in which the expense occurred. 

  

	 	6.	Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within thirty (30) days
following the date of termination), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. 

  
 14 

	 	H.	This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, heirs (in the case of the Executive) and assigns.
The rights or obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by either party, except that such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the continuing
entity, or the sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; provided, however, that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and such assignee or transferee
assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company, as contained in this Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law. 

  

	 	I.	This Agreement may be executed with electronic signatures, in any number of counterparts, as shall subsequently be executed with actual signatures. The
electronically signed Agreement shall constitute one original agreement. Duplicates and electronically signed copies of this Agreement shall be effective and fully enforceable as of the date signed and sent. 

  
 15 

	 	J.	All notices and other communications to be made or otherwise given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when the same are
(i) addressed to the other party at the mailing address, facsimile number or email address indicated below, and (ii) either: (a) personally delivered or mailed, registered or certified mail, first class postage-prepaid return receipt
requested, (b) delivered by a reputable private overnight courier service utilizing a written receipt or other written proof of delivery, to the applicable party, (c) faxed to such party, or (d) sent by electronic email. Any notice

 EXHIBIT A 
 Transition Benefits 
 The Company shall: 

 

	 	•	 	 Reimburse Executive for personal transportation expenses for travel between the Washington, DC, metropolitan area and Executive’s residence in
Connecticut, as follows: 

  

	 	•	 	 Up to $30,000 for travel expenses incurred in 2012; 

  

	 	•	 	 Up to $20,000 for travel expenses incurred in 2013. 

  

	 	•	 	 Provide Executive with a rental car or other suitable leased vehicle in the Washington, DC metropolitan area for the period from his date of hire until
August 31, 2013, in an amount not to exceed $1,500 per month; 

  

	 	•	 	 Provide Executive with a suitable corporate apartment in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area for the period from his date of hire until

	 	•	 	 Make these reimbursements within 30 days of receipt of documentation in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and in no event later than the
end of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred. These reimbursements are available only during the timeframes specified and are forfeited if not otherwise used. 

These benefits and reimbursements shall cease in the event Executive has moved his primary residence from Connecticut to the Washington, DC, metropolitan
area. The Company will gross up these benefits and reimbursements for any associated income taxes actually finally borne by Executive with respect to such reimbursements, with the payment to be made no later than the end of the respective tax year
in which Executive pays such tax. 

 EXHIBIT B 
 AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE 
 This Agreement and General Release
(“Release”) is entered into by and between Discovery Communications, LLC (“Company”) and                     
(“Executive”) to resolve any and all disputes concerning his employment with Company and his separation from employment on
                    . Accordingly, in exchange for the consideration and mutual promises set forth herein, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

 1. Effective close of business
                    , Executive’s employment with Company will terminate, and all salary continuation and benefits will cease other than those
to which Executive is entitled in consideration for this Release as set forth in Executive’s Employment Agreement with Company (“Agreement”), which is incorporated by reference, and as a matter of law (e.g., COBRA benefits).

 2. In consideration for Executive’s executing this Release of any and all legal claims he might have against the
Discovery Parties (as defined below), and the undertakings described herein, and to facilitate his transition to other employment, Company agrees to provide Executive with the consideration detailed in Section IV(D) (“Severance Payment”)
of the Agreement. 
 3. Neither Company nor Executive admits any wrongdoing of any kind, and both agree that neither they nor
anyone acting on their behalf will disclose this Release, or its terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive is not barred from disclosing this Release to his legal, financial and personal advisors or to those persons essential
for Executive to (a) implement or enforce his rights under this Release and the Agreement in which the Release is incorporated; (b) defend himself in a lawsuit, investigation or administrative proceeding; (c) file tax returns; or
(d) advise a prospective employer, business partner or insurer of the contractual restrictions on his post-Company employment. 
 4. In exchange for the undertakings by Company described in the above paragraphs: 

a. Executive, for himself, his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, does hereby release, acquit and forever discharge Company,
its subsidiaries, affiliates and related entities, as well as all of their respective officers, shareholders, shareholder representatives, directors, members, partners, trustees, employees, attorneys, representatives and agents (collectively, the
“Discovery Parties”), from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, liabilities, obligations, covenants, contracts, promises, agreements, controversies, costs, expenses, debts, dues, or attorneys’ fees of every name and
nature, whether known or unknown, without limitation, at law, in equity or administrative, against the Discovery Parties that he may have had, now has or may have against the Discovery Parties by reason of any matter or thing arising from the
beginning of the world to the day

and date of this Release, including any claim relating to the termination of his employment with any Discovery Party. Those claims, demands, liabilities and obligations from which Executive
releases the Discovery Parties include, but are not limited to, any claim, demand or action, known or unknown, arising out of any transaction, act or omission related to Executive’s employment by any Discovery Party and Executive’s
separation from such employment, sounding in tort or contract and/or any cause of action arising under federal, state or local statute or ordinance or common law, including, but not limited to, the federal Age Discrimination In Employment Act of
1967, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Maryland Human Rights Act, as well as
any similar state or local statute(s), in each case as any such law may be amended from time to time. The foregoing shall, in accordance with applicable law, not prohibit or prevent Executive from filing a Charge with the United States Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and/or any state or local agency equivalent, and/or prohibit or prevent Executive from participating in any investigation of any Charge filed by others, albeit that he understands and agrees that
he shall not be entitled to seek monetary compensation for himself from the filing and/or participation in any such Charge. 

b. Executive expressly acknowledges that his attorney has advised him regarding, and he is familiar with the fact that certain state
statutes provide that general releases do not extend to claims that the releasor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time he executes such a release, which if known to him may have materially affected his execution of the release.
Being aware of such statutes, Executive hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any rights or benefits he may have under such statutes, as well as any other state or federal statutes or common law principles of similar effect, and hereby
acknowledges that no claim or cause of action against any Discovery Party shall be deemed to be outside the scope of this Release whether mentioned herein or not. Executive also specifically knowingly waives the provisions of Section 1542 of
the Civil Code of the State of California, which reads: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially
affected his settlement with the debtor. Notwithstanding the provisions of Civil Code Section 1542 stated above and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Discovery Parties, Executive expressly
acknowledges that this Agreement is specifically intended to include in its effect all claims that he does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time he signs this Agreement. 

c. Executive hereby acknowledges that he is executing this Release pursuant to the Agreement, and that the consideration to be
provided to Executive pursuant to Section IV(D) of the Agreement is in addition to what he would have been entitled to receive in the absence of this Release. Executive hereby acknowledges that he is executing this Release voluntarily and with full
knowledge of all relevant information and any and all rights he may have. Executive hereby 

  
 3 

 
acknowledges that he has been advised to consult with an independent attorney of his own choosing in connection with this Release to explain to him the legal effect of the terms and conditions
of this Release and that Executive has consulted such an attorney for such purpose. Executive acknowledges that he has read this Release in its entirety. Executive further states that he fully understands the terms of this Release and that the only
promises made to him in return for signing this Release are stated herein and in the Agreement in which this Release is incorporated. Executive hereby acknowledges that he is voluntarily and knowingly agreeing to the terms and conditions of this
Release without any threats, coercion or duress, whether economic or otherwise, and that Executive agrees to be bound by the terms of this Release. Executive acknowledges that he has been given [twenty-one (21)] days to consider this Release, and
that if Executive is age forty (40) or over, Executive understands that he has seven (7) days following his execution of this Release in which to revoke his agreement to comply with this Release by providing written notice of revocation to
the General Counsel of Company no later than three business days following such period. 
 d. Executive further hereby
covenants and agrees that this General Release shall be binding in all respects upon himself, his heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and transferees and all persons claiming under them, and shall inure to the benefit of all of the officers,
directors, agents, employees, stockholders, members and partners and successors in interest of Company, as well as all parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related entities and representatives of any of the foregoing persons and entities. 

e. Executive agrees that he will not disparage any Discovery Party or make or publish any communication that reflects adversely upon any
of them, including communications concerning Company itself and its current or former directors, officers, employees or agents. 

5. a. If any provision of this Release is found to be invalid, unenforceable or void for any reason, such provision shall be severed from
the Release and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions. 
 b. Company and Executive agree
that this Release, consisting of three (3) pages, and the Agreement in which this Release is incorporated, constitutes the entire agreement between them. The parties further warrant that they enter into this Release freely. 

c. This Release shall be interpreted, enforced and governed by the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to the choice of law
principles thereof.
