the Committee at any time. 
 Any dispute or disagreement which may arise under, or as a result of, or in any way relate to, the

 Section 3. Ordinary Shares Subject to Plan 

The total number of Ordinary Shares reserved and available for grant under the Plan shall be 2,000,000 (subject to any increase or decrease
pursuant to this Section 3). Shares subject to an Award under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares held in or acquired for the treasury of the Company or both. 

If any Restricted Shares or Other Share-Based Awards are forfeited to the Company or if any Stock Option terminates without being exercised,
the shares subject to such Awards shall again be available for distribution in connection with Awards under the Plan. In addition, in determining the number of Ordinary Shares available for Awards other than Incentive Stock Options, if Ordinary
Shares have been delivered or exchanged by a Participant as full or partial payment to the Company for payment of the exercise price, or for payment of withholding taxes, or if the number of Ordinary Shares otherwise deliverable has been reduced for
payment of the exercise price or for payment of withholding taxes, the number of Ordinary Shares exchanged or 

  
 6 

 
reduced as payment in connection with the exercise or for withholding shall again be available for purposes of Awards other than Incentive Stock Options under this Plan. 

The total number of Ordinary Shares subject to any Stock Option which may be granted under this Plan to each Participant shall not exceed
300,000 shares (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to this Section 3 ) during each fiscal year of the Company. The individual Participant limitations set forth in this Section 3 shall be cumulative; that is, to the extent that
Ordinary Shares for which Options are permitted to be granted to a Participant pursuant to this Section during a fiscal year of the Company are not covered by a grant of an Option in the Company’s fiscal year, such Ordinary Shares available for
grants to such Participant automatically increase in the subsequent fiscal years during the term of the Plan until used. 
 No individual
may be granted in any fiscal year of the Company Other Share-Based Awards that are contingent upon the attainment of Performance Goals covering more than 50,000 Shares. 

In the event any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, spin-off, stock dividend, share split, reverse share split,
extraordinary distribution with respect to the Ordinary Shares, any sale or transfer of all or part of the Company’s assets or business or other change in corporate structure affecting the Ordinary Shares occurs or is proposed (such an event,
an “Equity Restructuring”), the Committee or the Board shall, effective as of the time of the Equity Restructuring, make such substitution or adjustment in the aggregate number and kind of shares or other property reserved for issuance
under the Plan or any limitations under the Plan, in the number, kind and Exercise Price (as defined herein) of shares or other property subject to outstanding Stock Options, in the number and kind of shares or other property subject to Restricted
Share Awards or other Awards, and/or such other substitution or adjustments, in each case as the Committee or the Board shall determine in its discretion to be appropriate, such that the value of the adjusted shares or other property immediately
prior to the Equity Restructuring is the same as the value of such adjusted shares or other property immediately following the Equity Restructuring, provided that, in no case shall such determination adversely affect in any material respect the
rights of a Participant hereunder or under any Award Agreement. In 

  
 7 

 
connection with any event described in this paragraph, the Committee may provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Stock Option and payment in cash or other
property in exchange therefor in an amount equal to the excess at such time, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Ordinary Shares over the per share exercise price for such Stock Options . 

In the event of a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in the event of any transaction that results in
the acquisition of substantially all of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the Company’s assets (all of the foregoing being referred to as “Acquisition Events”), then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate all outstanding Stock Options, effective as of the date of the Acquisition Event, by
delivering notice of termination to each Participant at least 20 days prior to the date of consummation of the Acquisition Event, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of
the Acquisition Event, each such Participant shall have the right to exercise in full all of his or her Stock Options that are then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the Stock Option agreements),
but any such exercise shall be contingent upon and subject to the occurrence of the Acquisition Event, and, provided that, if the Acquisition Event does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the
notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null and void . 
 Section 4. Participants 

The following persons shall be “Participants” eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan: (i) Persons who are officers,
directors, employees or consultants of the Company and/or any of its Affiliates; (ii) Persons who at the time of grant may be performing (or subject to being required to perform) services for the Company or any of its Affiliates (including,

 The Board
or the Committee as its duly authorized delegate shall have the authority to grant to Participants Stock Options. Stock Options shall be evidenced by Option Agreements, which shall include such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine
from time to time. The grant of a Stock Option shall occur on the date the Committee by resolution selects an individual to receive a grant of a Stock Option, determines the number of Ordinary Shares to be subject to such Stock Option to be granted
to such individual and specifies the terms and provisions of the Stock Option, or on such other date as the Committee may determine. The Company shall notify a Participant of any grant of a Stock Option, and a written Option Agreement shall be duly
executed and delivered by the Company to the Participant. Such Option Agreement shall become effective upon execution and delivery by the Participant to the Company. 

  
 8 

 Stock Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions, and shall contain such
additional terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem desirable: 
 (a) Exercise Price. The price per Ordinary Share
purchasable under a Stock Option shall be such price as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Option Agreement (the “Exercise Price”); provided that the Exercise Price shall not be less than the grant date Fair Market Value of
the Ordinary Shares, and: 
 (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option 

(A) granted to an employee of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Parent who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock
Option, owns shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all share classes of the Company or its Subsidiaries or its Parent (a “Ten Percent Shareholder”), the per share Exercise Price shall be no less than
one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; and 
 (B) granted to any
employee of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Parent other than a Ten Percent Shareholder, the per share Exercise Price shall be no less ‘than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant. 

(ii) in the case of any other Stock Option granted, including Nonstatutory Stock Options, the per share Exercise Price as
determined by the Committee. 
 (b) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee provided, however,
that no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such Stock Option is granted. Absent any such term being fixed by the Committee, pursuant to an Option Agreement or otherwise, such term shall be ten
(10) years; provided , however, that the term of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall not exceed five (5) years. 

(c) Exercisability. Except as otherwise provided herein, Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such
terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee If the 

  
 9 

 
Committee provides that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at anytime waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors
as the Committee may determine. In addition, the Committee may at any time accelerate the exercisability of any Stock Option. 
 (d)
Method of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, vested Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the option term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the
number of Ordinary Shares subject to the Stock Option to be purchased . 
 Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the
Exercise Price per share by certified or bank check or such other instrument or method of payment as the Committee may accept. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee at the time of grant and set forth in the Option Agreement, payment, in full
or in part, may also be made in the form of fully vested Ordinary Shares (other than Restricted Shares) already owned by the Participant (for at least six months or such other period necessary to avoid a charge, for accounting purposes, against the
Company’s earnings as reported in the Company’s financial statements if acquired upon exercise of a Stock Option or received upon the lapse of restrictions on an Award of Restricted Shares) of the same class as the Ordinary Shares subject
to the Stock Option (based on the Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares on the date the Stock Option is exercised) or, if the Ordinary Shares are traded on a national securities exchange, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or quoted on a national
quotation system sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers, and the Committee authorizes, to the extent permitted by law, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably
acceptable to the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the purchase price or through “net settlement” in Ordinary Shares. 

No Ordinary Shares shall be issued until full payment therefore has been made. Except as otherwise provided in the Management
Shareholders’ Agreement, if the Participant is a party to the Management Shareholders’ Agreement , and subject to Sections 10(b), 10(e) and 10(h) hereof and the applicable Option Agreement, a Participant shall have all of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company holding the class or series of Ordinary Shares that is subject to such Stock Option (including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends and distributions), when the Participant has
given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares and, if requested, has given the representations referred to in Section 10(b) or as may otherwise be required in accordance with Sections 10(e) and 10(h). 

(e) Nontransferability of Stock Options. No Stock Option shall be transferable by the Participant other than (i) by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) as otherwise expressly permitted under the applicable Option Agreement, to a Family Member, subject to the restrictions in the Management Shareholders’ Agreement. All Stock Options granted to an
individual shall be exercisable, subject to the terms of the Plan, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant or any Person to whom such Stock Option is transferred pursuant to the preceding sentence, including such
Participant’s guardian, legal representative and other transferee. The term “Participant” includes the estate of the Participant or the Legal representative of the Participant named in the Option Agreement and any Person to whom an
Option is 

  
 10 

 
otherwise transferred in accordance with this Section 5(e), by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that references herein to Employment of a Participant
or termination of Employment of a Participant shall continue to refer to the Employment or termination of Employment of the applicable grantee of an Award hereunder . 

(f) Termination of Employment. 

(i) Termination for Any Reason (other than Cause). Except as otherwise determined by the Committee and expressly
provided in the applicable Option Agreement or applicable employment or consulting agreement, upon the termination of the Participant’s Employment for any reason (other than Cause), including death or Disability, vesting ceases, the term of
unvested stock options lapses and vested and unvested options will become unexercisable, except that such Participant shall have ninety (90) days to exercise the portion of the Participant’s Stock Option that is vested on the date of the
Participant’s termination of Employment. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Participant shall not be permitted to exercise any Stock Option at a time beyond the initial option term. 

(ii) Termination for Cause. All outstanding and unexercised Stock Options, whether vested or unvested, as of the time
the Participant is notified that his or her Employment is terminated for Cause or at the time the Participant voluntarily terminates employment within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of an event that would be grounds for a termination for
Cause, will be cancelled immediately. 
 Section 6. Restricted Shares 

The Committee shall determine the Participants to whom and the time or times at which grants of Restricted Shares will be awarded, the number
of shares to be awarded to any Participant, the purchase price, the conditions for vesting, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to cancellation, repurchase and restrictions on transfer and any other terms and conditions of the

from the owner thereof until restrictions lapse and (iii) relating to any rights to repurchase Restricted Shares on the part of the Company), in addition to those contained in the Management Shareholders’ Agreement, if the Participant is a
party to the Management Shareholders’ Agreement. Each Participant receiving Restricted Shares shall be issued a share certificate in respect of such Restricted Shares, unless the Committee elects to u-;e another system, such as book entries by
the transfer agent, as evidencing ownership of shares of Restricted Shares. Unless otherwise 

  
 11 

 
specified in the Restricted Share Agreement, upon a Participant’s termination for any reason during the relevant restriction period, all unvested Restricted Shares will be forfeited to the
Company, without compensation . 
 Furthermore, in addition to the foregoing restrictions, Restricted Shares held by an officer, director or
consultant of the Company or one of its Affiliate may be subject to additional or greater restrictions and any restrictions set forth in the Company’s Articles of Association. The terms and conditions of Restricted Share Awards shall be set
forth in a Restricted Share Agreement, which shall include such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine from time to time, and which shall be duly executed and delivered by the Company to the Participant and become effective upon
execution and delivery by the Participant to the Company. Except as provided in this Section 6, the Restricted Share Agreement, the Management Shareholders’ Agreement and any other relevant agreements, the Participant shall have, with
respect to the Restricted Shares, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company holding the class or series of Ordinary Shares that is the subject of the Restricted Share Award, including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and, subject
to the following sentence, the right to receive any cash dividends or distributions (but, subject to the third paragraph of Section 3, not the right to receive non-cash dividends or distributions). If so determined by the Committee in the
applicable Restricted Share Agreement, cash dividends and distributions on the class or series of Ordinary Shares that is the subject of the Restricted Share Award shall be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted Shares, held
subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Shares, or held subject to meeting conditions applicable only to dividends and distributions.

performance plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary, share appreciation rights (either separately or in tandem with Options), share equivalent units, and Awards valued by reference to book value of Ordinary Shares. 

Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have authority to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which
such Awards shall be made, the number of Ordinary Shares to be awarded pursuant to or referenced by such Awards, and all other conditions of the Awards. Grants of Other Share-Based Awards may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and
contingencies as the Committee may determine which may include, but are not limited to, continuous service with the Company or an Affiliate and/or the 

  
 12 

 
achievement of Performance Goals. Except as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph, the criteria that may be used by the Committee in granting Other Share-Based Awards contingent on
Performance Goals shall consist of the attainment of one or more of the Performance Goals. The Committee may select one or more Performance Goals for measuring performance and the measuring may be stated in absolute terms or relative to comparable
companies. The measurements used in Performance Goals set under the Plan shall be determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP’’), except, to the extent that any objective Performance Goals are used,
if any measurements require deviation from GAAP, such deviation shall be at the discretion of the Committee at the time the Performance Goals are set or at such later time to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code. Other
Performance Goals may be used to the extent such goals satisfy Section 162(m) of the Code or the Other- Share Based Award is not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

 Other Share-Based Awards made pursuant to this Section 7 are subject to the following terms and conditions: 

(a) Dividends. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of Award, subject to the provisions of the Award agreement and

with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the Code, or, with regard to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code. - 

The Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall be made that
is adverse to the rights of the Participant thereunder without the Participant’ consent. 
 Section 9. Unfunded Status of Plan 

It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an ‘‘unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Committee may
authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Ordinary Shares or make payments; provided, however, that unless the Committee otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts
or other arrangements is consistent with the ‘‘unfunded” status of the Plan. 
 Section 10. General Provisions 

(a) Awards and Certificates. Shares of Restricted Shares and Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Stock Option (together,
“Plan Shares”) shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book entry registration or issuance of one or more share certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of Plan Shares shall be registered
in the name of such Participant and shall bear appropriate legends referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award. Such Plan Shares may bear other legends to the extent the Committee or the Board determines it to be
necessary or appropriate, including any required by the Management Shareholders’ Agreement. If and when all restrictions expire without a prior cancellation of the Plan Shares theretofore subject to such restrictions, upon surrender of legended
certificates representing such shares new certificates for such shares shall be delivered to the Participant without the second legend listed above. 

(b) Representations and Warranties. The Committee may require each Person purchasing or receiving Plan Shares to (i) represent to
and agree with the Company in writing that such Person is acquiring the shares without a view to the distribution thereof and (ii) make any other representations and warranties that the Committee deems appropriate. 

(c) Additional Compensation. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any of its Affiliates from adopting other or
additional compensation arrangements for its employees. 

  
 14 

 (d) No Right of Employment. Adoption of the Plan or grant of any Award shall not confer
upon any employee or any other individual any right to continued Employment, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Employment of any eligible Participant at any time. 

(e) Withholding Taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of a Participant for
income tax purposes or subject to Federal Insurance Contributions Act withholdings with respect to any Award, including, without limitation, upon exercise of any Stock Option, under the Plan, such Participant shall pay to the Company or, if
appropriate, one of its Affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. If
approved by the Committee, minimum required statutory withholding obligations may be settled with Ordinary Shares, including Ordinary Shares that are part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company
under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participant. The Committee
may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Ordinary Shares. 

(f) Beneficiaries. The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a beneficiary
to whom any amounts payable in the event of the Participant’s death are to be paid or by whom any rights of the Participant, after the Participant’s death, may be exercised. 

(g) Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. 
 (h) Compliance with
Laws. If any law or any regulation of any governmental body, commission or agency having jurisdiction shall require the Company or a Participant seeking to exercise Stock Options to take any action with respect to the Plan Shares to be issued
upon the exercise of Stock Options then the date upon which the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the Plan Shares or the rights associated therewith shall be postponed until full compliance (as determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion) has been made with all such requirements of law or regulation; provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to take all necessary action to comply with such requirements of law or regulation. Moreover, in the event that
the Company shall determine that, in compliance with the Securities Act or other applicable statutes or regulations (including state “Blue Sky” or other securities laws), it is necessary to register any of the Plan Shares with respect to
which an exercise of a Stock Option has been made, or to qualify any such Plan Shares (or the Company) for exemption from any of the requirements of the Securities Act or any other applicable statute or regulation, no Stock Options may be exercised
and no Plan Shares shall be issued to the exercising Participant until the required action has been completed; provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to take all necessary action to comply with such requirements of law or
regulation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Board nor the members of the Committee owes a fiduciary duty to any Participant in his or her capacity as such. 

  
 15 

 (i) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan and no cash
settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding. 
 (j) Shareholder Approval. The Plan shall be
subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under applicable state and federal or
foreign law and the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Company’s Ordinary Shares are listed, quoted or actively traded. 
 (k)
Information to Participants. The Company shall provide, not less frequently than annually, copies of annual financial statements to each individual who acquires Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Plan while such individual owns such Ordinary
Shares. The Company shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information. 

(l) Shareholders’ Agreement and Other Requirements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as a condition to the receipt
of Plan Shares, to the extent required by the Committee, the Participant shall execute and deliver a shareholders’ agreement or such other documentation which shall set forth certain restrictions on transferability of the Plan Shares, a right
of first refusal of the Company with respect to Plan Shares, the right of the Company to purchase Plan Shares and such other terms as the Board or Committee shall from time to time establish. Such shareholders’ agreement shall apply to all Plan
Shares acquired under the Plan. The Company may require, as a condition of grant or exercise of any Award, the Participant to become a party to any other existing shareholders’ agreement. 

(m) Section 409A. Notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan or any Award agreements thereunder, no Award shall be granted,
deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified under this Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a Participant. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the
Committee that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments or deliveries of shares in respect of any Award under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the relevant Award agreement, as the case may
be, without causing the Participant holding such Award to be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, the Company will make such payment or delivery of shares on the first day that would not result in the Participant incurring any
tax liability under Section 409A of the Code. In the case of a Participant who is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code), payments and/or deliveries of shares in respect of any Award
subject to Section 409A of the Code that are linked to the date of the Participant’s separation from service shall not be made prior to the date which is six (6) months after the date of such Participant’s separation from service
from the Company and its affiliates, determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Section 10(m)
in good faith; provided that neither the Company, the Committee nor any of the Company’s employees, directors or representatives shall have any liability to Participants with respect to this Section 10(m).

Re: Separation and Release Agreement

 

Dear Joe:

 

This Letter Agreement (“Agreement”) acknowledges that your position with SFX Entertainment, Inc. f/k/a SFX Holding Corporation (“SFX” or the “Company”), and any other position you may have held with the Company or any affiliate thereof, has been terminated and sets forth the terms and conditions of your termination from the Company. Your termination from the Company and from the foregoing position(s) is effective January 1, 2015 (the “Termination Date”). The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to alter or terminate your role as employee of the Company and not alter or change your position as a director of the Company.

 

Regardless of whether you sign this Agreement, the Company will pay you all of your earned wages and any unused, accrued paid time off through the Termination Date.

 

This Letter will also serve to inform you of the terms of the Separation Consideration (as defined herein) and benefits which you may receive in connection with the termination of your employment from the Company.

 

The Company’s offer regarding the Separation Consideration will expire as follows: SFX will not provide to you the Separation Consideration or provide you with any other benefit based upon this Agreement if this Agreement is not signed by you and physically delivered to the Company, or postmarked, by forty-five (45) days from the date this Agreement is delivered to you.

 

AGREEMENT

 

In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises made in this Agreement, you and the Company agree as follows:

 

1

 

1.             Separation Date.  Your termination from the Company is effective as of 5:00 p.m. on the Termination Date.

 

2.             Separation Consideration.

 

(a)           In lieu of any lump sum separation payment or other consideration which may become due or payable under your employment agreement as a result of its termination, the Company shall pay to you (or your designee) in separate installments the sum of $30,000 on the date the Revocation Period is terminated, and the sum of $30,000 on the first day of each month for the following 24 months (total payments to be $750,000) (the “Separation Consideration”). To the extent required by law, all applicable tax withholding and other required lawful deductions will be taken from the gross amount of the aforementioned payments.

 

(b)           It is acknowledged that you will continue to provide service to the Company in connection with current and future litigation pertaining to the Company, including that litigation styled SFX, et al. v. JL Productions, amongst other proceedings in which you have familiarity with the subject matter thereof due to your longstanding involvement with the Company since its formation. As consideration for this service, the Company grants to you options to purchase 50,000 shares of the common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $3.70 (the “Options”) under the Company’s 2013 Equity Compensation Plan. Per a separate option award to be entered into between you and the Company, the Options will vest as of the date of grant, but the Options will not be exercisable until the Company’s shareholders have approved an amendment to the Company’s 2013 Equity Compensation Plan to increase the number of options available under such plan to cover the amount of shares underlying the Options.

 

3.             Existing Equity Grants.

 

(a)           The Company agrees that with respect to any options that have vested or may vest pursuant to equity award agreements previously granted, such agreements remain in full force and effect and are not amended hereby, except as provided herein. The Company confirms that you have the right to exercise such options within 10 years from the grant date.

 

(b)           Any options previously granted but not yet vested shall vest immediately upon execution of this Agreement.

 

4.             Benefits.  Except as set forth in this Agreement, all compensation and benefits and reimbursement obligations from the Company ceased as of the Termination Date, including your participation in SFX’s company- sponsored health plan. You will be eligible to enroll in COBRA coverage, which enrollment forms shall be delivered to you by the Company.

5.             Consideration.  You acknowledge:  (i) the sufficiency of the consideration for this Agreement generally and specifically for your release of all claims against the SFX Releasees; (ii) that such payment is being made to you because of your agreement to fulfill the promises and to provide the releases that are stated herein; and (iii) that such payment may be in excess of any payment, benefit, or other thing of value to which you might otherwise be entitled under your employment agreement, option award agreement or similar arrangement with the Company and/or its affiliates.

 

6.             No Other Claims.  Except for the Separation Consideration set forth herein (and the Option), no other payment or other benefit shall be made by the Company or any of its affiliates to you. You acknowledge that you have no entitlement to, nor any right to, make any claim for any additional payments, benefits, equity compensation or terms with respect to equity compensation, or compensation of any kind or nature whatsoever by the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

7.             General Release.  In consideration for the promises made herein, you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release and forever discharge, for yourself and for your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, SFX Entertainment, Inc. and/or their affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, predecessors and successors, and all of their past and present directors, officers, management committees, members, agents, employees, representatives, attorneys and shareholders, as well as TriNet HR Corporation, any benefit plan fiduciaries and administrators, and the assigns of any of the foregoing, and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with any of them (collectively, “the SFX Releasees”), from any and all rights, claims, charges, causes of action, liabilities, costs and damages, known or unknown, suspected or not, fixed or contingent, and in law or in equity, which you now have, or may ever have had, concerning, relating to, or arising out of, directly or indirectly, your employment with the Company or the termination thereof (the “Release”).

The Release applies to federal, state or local laws, civil rights laws, wage- hour, wage-payment, pension or labor laws, rules and/or regulations, constitutions, ordinances, public policy, contract or tort laws, or any claim arising under common law, or any other action based upon any conduct occurring up to and including the date you sign the Agreement, to the extent permitted by law.

 

8.             Waiver of ADEA Claims and Right to Revoke Waiver.  Without limiting the scope of this Agreement, you agree that this Agreement constitutes a knowing and voluntary waiver of any and all rights or claims that exist or that you may claim to have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), as amended by the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act of 1990 (29 U.S.C. §§ 621, et seq.) You acknowledge all of the following:

 

(a)           the consideration provided pursuant to this Agreement is in addition to any consideration that you would otherwise be entitled to receive;

 

(b)           you have been and are advised in writing to consult with an attorney of your choice prior to signing this Agreement;

 

(c)           you have been provided full and ample opportunity to study this Agreement, including a period of at least 45 calendar days from the date of delivery to you within which to consider it;

 

(d)           to the extent that you take less than 45 calendar days to consider this Agreement prior to signing it, you acknowledge that you had sufficient time to consider this Agreement with legal counsel of your choosing and that you expressly, voluntarily and knowingly waive any additional time;

 

(e)           you agree that any changes made to this Agreement during the 45- day period (whether material or immaterial) do not restart the running of the 45-day period; and

 

(f)            you are aware of your right to revoke this waiver of claims under the ADEA any time within the 7 calendar-day period following the date you sign the Agreement (“Revocation Period”) and that the waiver of claims under the ADEA shall not become effective or enforceable until the Revocation Period expires.  Notwithstanding your right to revoke the waiver of claims under the

 

4

 

ADEA, the remainder of the terms of this Agreement shall become effective and enforceable as of the date that the parties hereto sign this Agreement.

 

9.             Method of Revocation of ADEA Waiver.  In order to be effective, timely notice of revocation of the waiver of ADEA claims set forth above must be made in writing and must be delivered in-person, by email, or by facsimile transmission to SFX Entertainment, Inc., Attention: Lisa Failla, 430 Park Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, New York, 10022, no later than the seventh day after you execute this Agreement. You agree to keep written documentation proving that you revoked the waiver of ADEA claims as provided in this paragraph, either by keeping the documents attesting to the delivery of the revocation, or verification that the facsimile was, in fact, received.

 

This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, waive or release rights or claims that may not be waived or released as a matter of law, including but not limited to claims for unemployment or workers compensation, any benefit entitlements that are vested as of the Termination Date pursuant to express terms of a company-sponsored benefit plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and any right to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement does not waive any rights you may have to file an administrative charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, but it does waive any rights you may have to any monetary award, recovery or settlement in connection with such a charge, without regard to who brought or filed such charge.

 

You expressly acknowledge that this Agreement is also intended to include in its effect, without any limitation, any and all claims which you do not know of or that you suspect may exist in your favor at the time of the execution of this Agreement, and that this Agreement will also extinguish any such claim.

 

You further acknowledge that you fully understand that you are waiving any right you may have to sue any SFX Releasee for any of the claims you have released, or to receive any compensation, damages or settlement arising as a result of any action, claim, lawsuit, charge or complaint commenced by anyone else against any SFX Releasee.

 

10.          Waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542. This Agreement extends to all claims, whether vested or contingent, and whether or not claimed, known or suspected by you, up to the time you sign this Agreement, including the date of execution hereof. Additionally, you entering into this Agreement constitutes a waiver of the provisions of the California Civil Code Section 1542 (or any comparable provision under any state or federal law), which reads as follows:

 

5

 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

 

You acknowledge that you have read and understood the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 and that you have had the opportunity to consult with your own attorney as to the effect and import of those provisions. You further acknowledge and agree that this waiver of rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code has been separately bargained for and is an essential and material term of this Agreement and, without such waiver, this Agreement would not have been entered into by SFX.

 

You acknowledge and confirm that you have been provided with a copy of the California Department of Health Services’ Notice to Terminating Employees, pursuant to California Labor Code § 2807, and a copy of the Employment Development Department’s pamphlets entitled, “For Your Benefit: California’s Programs for the Unemployed” and “For Your Benefit When You Need It; How To File An Unemployment Insurance Claim.”

 

You also acknowledge and confirm that you have been fully paid any wages owed to you including any overtime wages, and also acknowledge and confirm that as of the date of your execution of this Agreement, you received payment for all unused and accrued paid time off and have been afforded all required periods of family or medical leave as well as any right to reinstatement upon conclusion of any leave taken.

 

You represent and warrant that you have not commenced, maintained, prosecuted or participated in any action, suit, charge, grievance, complaint or proceeding of any kind against any SFX Releasee in any court or before any administrative or investigative body or agency and/or that you are hereby withdrawing with prejudice any such complaint, charge or action that you may have filed against any SFX Releasee.

 

In the event any action, suit, charge, grievance, complaint or proceeding is commenced on your behalf, you hereby waive any right to any potential recovery.

 

However, you understand and acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent you from filing a charge with, or participating in an investigation conducted by, any governmental agency charged with the enforcement and/or investigation of claims of discrimination, harassment, retaliation or wage payment under federal, state or local laws or regulations, including, without limitation, the EEOC or applicable state or city fair employment practices agency; provided, however, that you also understand

 

6

 

and acknowledge that by signing this Agreement, you have completely and irrevocably waived your right to receive any individual relief, including monetary damages, in connection with any such claim, and if you are awarded monetary damages, you hereby unconditionally assign to the Company any right or interest you may have to receive any monetary damages.

 

11.          Return of Company Property; Expenses.

You must also immediately submit to the Company any and all outstanding business expenses that you incurred on or before the Termination Date for reconciliation in accordance with the Company’s customary procedures.

 

The foregoing shall not be deemed to require the return of any Company property and equipment which you are entitled to retain in connection with your service as a director of the Company.

 

12.          Legal Representation. You acknowledge and represent (i) that you have had ample opportunity to receive the advice of independent legal counsel of your choosing prior to the execution of this Agreement, and the Company advises you to do so, and ample opportunity to receive an explanation from such legal counsel of the legal nature and effect of this Agreement, (ii) that you have fully exercised that opportunity to the extent you desired, and (iii) that you fully understand the terms and provisions of this Agreement as well as its nature and effect. You further acknowledge and represent that you are entering into this Agreement completely freely and voluntarily.

 

13.          No Admission of Liability.  Nothing contained in this Agreement nor the fact that the Company has signed this Agreement shall be considered an admission of any liability whatsoever by any of the SFX Releasees. This Agreement shall not be used against any SFX Releasee in any action, proceeding or settlement negotiation.

8

 

cannot be changed unless in writing signed by both parties.  Email correspondence does not constitute a writing for the purposes of this provision.

 

19.          Waiver. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar. No waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver. No waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party charged with the waiver.

 

20.          Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be unlawful, such provision shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement and every other provision of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that in the event a court of competent jurisdiction finds the release and covenants provided for in this Agreement to be illegal, void or unenforceable, you agree, at the Company’s request, to execute a release, waiver and/or covenant that is legal and enforceable to effectuate the terms of this Agreement.

 

21.          Fees and Costs. You and the Company agree that, in the event of litigation relating to this Agreement or its subject matter, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
