	 	1.	Grant of Options. 

  

	 	a.	Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company shall grant to the Optionee the following five options (together, the
“Options”) to purchase, at the dates set forth below: 

  

	 	i.	40,000 shares of Common Stock (“Option A”), which is hereby granted on the date of this Agreement; 

 

	 	ii.	92,163 shares of Common Stock (“Option B”), which is hereby granted on the date of this Agreement;

the date of this Agreement; and 

  

	 	v.	the number of shares of Common Stock calculated in accordance with Section 1(b) (“Option E”), which shall be granted on the third anniversary of

 The date each Option is granted is referred to as the “Grant

		 	2,200,000	 		 		 	
		 	(45 – X)	 		 		 	

 Where ‘X’ is the Option Price at the relevant Grant Date and for the avoidance of doubt
where X is greater than 44, the amount of 2,200,000 shall not be divided. Where any amount is to be converted into or from US dollars for the purposes of the formula above, it shall be converted using an exchange rate of US$1.49:£1 

 

	 	c.	The amount payable for each share of the Common Stock in the event of the Options being exercised (the “Option Price”) shall be as follows:

  

	 	i.	in respect of Option A, USD $7.02; 

  

	 	ii.	in respect of Option B, USD $7.02; and 

  

	 	iii.	in respect of Option C, D and E, the closing sale price on the Grant Date of a share of Common Stock in consolidated trading of securities listed on the principal
national securities exchange or market on which shares of Common Stock are then traded, unless determined otherwise by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”). 

 

	 	2.	Limitations on Exercise of Options. 

  

	 	a.	Option A shall become exercisable as follows: 

  

	 	i.	half of the shares of Common Stock under Option A shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of signing the employment agreement; and

	 	b.	Option B, C, D and E shall be exercisable as follows: 

  

	 	i.	one-twelfth of the shares of Common Stock under each Option shall vest and become exercisable on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of its Grant
Date; and 

  

	 	ii.	two-thirds of the shares of Common Stock under Options B, C, D or E (for each Option, the “Performance-Related Option”) shall vest and become
exercisable to the extent that the performance conditions as set out in the Schedule are met. 

  

	 	3.	Term of the Options. Unless sooner terminated in accordance herewith or in the Plan, the Options shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

	 	4.	Method of Exercise. 

  

	 	a.	The Optionee may exercise the Options, from time to time, to the extent then exercisable, by contacting the Company’s outside Plan administrator (the
“Administrator”) and following the procedures established by the Administrator. The Option Price of the Options may be paid in cash or by certified or bank check or in any other manner the Compensation Committee of the
Company’s Board of Directors (“the Committee”), in its discretion, may permit, including, without limitation, (i) the delivery of previously-owned shares, (ii) by a combination of a cash payment and delivery of
previously-owned shares, or (iii) pursuant to a cashless exercise program established and made available through a registered broker-dealer in accordance with applicable law. 

 

	 	b.	At the time of exercise, the Optionee shall pay to Clear Channel Outdoor Limited (or such third party as it directs) such amount as it deems necessary to meet any
liability to tax (including but without limitation income tax under PAYE and employee’s national insurance contributions) which it is obliged to pay or account for to any tax authority in respect of any issue or transfer of any Common Stock on
the exercise of the Options (the “Tax Liability”). The Optionee may elect to pay to Clear Channel Outdoor Limited (or such third party as it directs) an amount equal to the Tax Liability by delivering to Clear Channel Outdoor
Limited (or such third party as it directs), cash, a check or at the sole discretion of the Company, shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the Tax Liability. 

 

	 	5.	Issuance of Shares. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, as promptly as practical after receipt of notification of exercise and full payment of the Option
Price and any Tax Liability, the Company shall issue (if necessary) and transfer to the Optionee the number of Option Shares with respect to which this Option has been so exercised, and shall deliver to the Optionee or have deposited in the
Optionee’s brokerage account with the Administrator such Option Shares, at the Optionee’s election either electronically or represented by a certificate or certificates therefor, registered in the Optionee’s name.

  

	 	6.	Termination of Employment. 

  

	 	a.	Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Option may be granted or exercised unless the Optionee shall have remained in employment or service with the Company
since the date of this Agreement. 

  

	 	b.	If the Optionee’s termination of employment or service is due to death, the Options then held by the Optionee shall automatically vest and become immediately
exercisable in full and shall be exercisable by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary, or, if none, the person(s) to whom the Optionee’s rights under these Options are transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution for one
year following such termination of employment or service (but in no event beyond the term of the Options), and shall thereafter terminate. 

	 	c.	If the Optionee’s termination of employment or service is due to Disability (as defined herein), with respect to Options then held by the Optionee, the Optionee
shall be treated as if his employment or service continued with the Company for the lesser of (i) five years or (ii) the remaining term of the Options solely for purposes of continued vesting and exercisability during such period (the
“Disability Vesting Period”). Upon expiration of the Disability Vesting Period, the Options shall automatically terminate; provided, that, if the Optionee should die during such period, the Options shall automatically
vest and become immediately exercisable in full and shall be exercisable by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary, or, if none, the person(s) to whom the Optionee’s rights under the Options are transferred by will or the laws of descent
and distribution for one year following such death (but in no event beyond the term of the Options), and shall thereafter terminate. For purposes of this section, “Disability” shall mean (i) if the Optionee’s employment or
service with the Company is subject to the terms of an employment or other service agreement between such Optionee and the Company, which agreement includes a definition of “Disability”, the term “Disability” shall have the
meaning set forth in such agreement during the period that such agreement remains in effect; and (ii) in all other cases, the term “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental infirmity which impairs the Optionee’s ability to
perform substantially his or her duties for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days. 

  

	 	d.	If the Optionee’s termination of employment or service is due to Retirement (as defined herein), with respect to Options then held by the Optionee, the Optionee
shall be treated as if his/her employment or service continued with the Company for the lesser of (i) five years or (ii) the remaining term of the Options solely for purposes of continued vesting and exercisability during such period (the
“Retirement Vesting Period”). Upon expiration of the Retirement Vesting Period, these Options shall automatically terminate; provided, that, if the Optionee should die during such period, these Options shall
automatically vest and become immediately exercisable in full and shall be exercisable by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary, or, if none, the person(s) to whom such Optionee’s rights under the Options are transferred by will or the
laws of descent and distribution for one year following such death (but in no event beyond the term of the Options), and shall thereafter terminate. For purposes of this section, “Retirement” shall mean the Optionee’s
resignation from the Company on or after the date on which the sum of his/her (i) full years of age (measured as of his/her last birthday preceding the date of termination of employment or service) and (ii) full years of service with the
Company measured from his/her date of hire (or re-hire, if later), is equal at least seventy (70); provided, that, the Optionee must have attained at least the age of sixty (60) and completed at least five (5) full
years of service with the Company prior to the date of his/her resignation. Any disputes relating to whether the Optionee is eligible for Retirement under this Agreement, including, without limitation, his/her years’ of service, shall be
settled by the Committee in its sole discretion. 

	 	e.	If the termination of the Optionee’s employment or service is for Cause (as defined herein), the Options shall terminate upon such termination of employment or
service, regardless of whether the Options were then exercisable. For purposes of this section, “Cause” shall mean the Optionee’s (i) intentional failure to perform reasonably assigned duties, (ii) dishonesty or
willful misconduct in the performance of duties, (iii) involvement in a transaction in connection with the performance of duties to the Company which transaction is adverse to the interests of the Company and which is engaged in for personal
profit or (iv) willful violation of any law, rule or regulation in connection with the performance of duties (other than traffic violations or similar offenses). 

 

	 	f.	If the termination of the Optionee’s employment or service is for any reason other than Cause (as defined herein), Option A shall automatically vest and become
immediately exercisable in full. 

  

	 	g.	If the termination of the Optionee’s employment or service is for any other reason not covered by (b) to (e) above, the unvested portion of Options B, C,
D and E, if any, shall terminate on the date of termination and the vested portion of those Options shall be exercisable for a period of three-months following such termination of employment or service (but in no event beyond the term of those
Options), and shall thereafter terminate. The Optionee’s status as an employee shall not be considered terminated in the case of a leave of absence agreed to in writing by the Company (including, but not limited to, military and sick leave);
provided, that, such leave is for a period of not more than three-months or re-employment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute. 

 

	 	h.	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, including, without limitation, Sections 2 and 6 of this Agreement:

  

	 	(i)	If it is determined by the Committee that the Optionee engaged in (or is engaging in) any “Prohibited Act” (as defined below) where such Prohibited Act
occurred or is occurring within the one (1) year period immediately following the exercise of any Option granted under this Agreement, the Optionee agrees that he/she will repay to the Company (or such third party as it directs) any net gain
(after deduction of the Tax Liability) realized on the exercise of such Option (such gain to be valued as of the relevant exercise date(s)). Such repayment obligation will be effective as of the date specified by the Committee. Any repayment
obligation must be satisfied in cash or, if permitted in the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the gain realized upon exercise of the Option(s). The Company is specifically authorized to
off-set and deduct from any other payments, if any, including, without limitation, wages, salary or bonus, that it may owe the Optionee to secure the repayment obligations herein contained. The determination of whether the Optionee has engaged in a
Prohibited Act shall be determined by the Committee in good faith and in its sole discretion. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prohibited Activity” shall mean any activity that is harmful to the business or reputation
of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary), including, without limitation, any “Competitive Activity” (as defined below in h(ii)) or conduct prejudicial to or in conflict with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary).

	 	(ii)	If it is determined by the Committee that the Optionee engaged (or is engaging in) any “Competitive Activity” (as defined below), then, upon such
determination by the Committee, the Options shall be cancelled and cease to be exercisable (whether or not then vested). The determination of whether the Optionee is engaging or has engaged in a Competitive Activity shall be determined by the
Committee in good faith and in its sole discretion. The provisions of Section 6(h) shall have no effect following a Change of Control (as defined herein). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competitive Activity” shall
mean the Optionee directly or indirectly and whether alone or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other person and whether as a principal, shareholder, director, employee, agent, consultant, partner or otherwise: 

 

	 	1.	at any time during the period of 9 months from the Effective Date within the Restricted Territory, take any steps preparatory to or be engaged, employed, interested or

	 	5.	at any time during the period of 9 months from the Effective Date have business dealings directly or indirectly with any person who is a Restricted Client or
Prospective Client provided always that nothing contained in this clause shall be deemed to prohibit the seeking or doing of business not in direct or indirect competition with the Restricted Business; or 

	 	6.	encourage, assist or procure any third party to do anything which, if done by him would be in breach of sub-paragraphs i. to v. above, 

but for the avoidance of doubt nothing in this section 6(h) will result in your forfeiting any Options as a result of working in the
Restricted Period for a company or business which is not (i) a Competing Business; (ii) a Target Business Entity; or (iii) a firm, company or other entity which owns or controls a business that provides any Competing Business or a

“Administrator”) and following the procedures established by the Administrator. The Option Price of this Option may be paid in cash or by certified or bank check or in any other manner the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board
of Directors (the “Committee”), in its discretion, may permit, including, without limitation, (i) the delivery of previously-owned shares, (ii) by a combination of a cash payment and delivery of previously-owned shares, or
(iii) pursuant to a cashless exercise program established and made available through a registered broker-dealer in accordance with applicable law. 

	 	b.	At the time of exercise, the Optionee shall pay to the Administrator (or at the option of the Company, to the Company) such amount as the Company deems necessary to
satisfy its obligation to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of the exercise of this Option. The Optionee may elect to pay to the Administrator (or at the option of the Company, to the Company) an amount equal
to the amount of the taxes which the Company shall be required to withhold by delivering to the Administrator (or at the option of the Company, to the Company), cash, a check or at the sole discretion of the Company, shares of Common Stock having a
Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the withholding tax obligation as determined by the Company. 

  

	 	5.	Issuance of Shares. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, as promptly as practical after receipt of notification of exercise and full payment of the Option
Price and any required income tax withholding, the Company shall issue or transfer to the Optionee the number of Option Shares with respect to which this Option has been so exercised, and shall deliver to the Optionee or have deposited in the
Optionee’s brokerage account with the Administrator a certificate or certificates therefor, registered in the Optionee’s name. 

  

	 	6.	Termination of Employment. 

  

	 	a.	If the Optionee’s termination of employment or service is due to death, this Option shall automatically vest and become immediately exercisable in full and shall
be exercisable by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary, or, if none, the person(s) to whom the Optionee’s rights under this Option are transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution for one year following such termination of
employment or service (but in no event beyond the term of the Option), and shall thereafter terminate. 

  

	 	b.	If the Optionee’s termination of employment or service is due to Disability (as defined herein), the Optionee shall be treated, for purposes of this Agreement
only, as if his/her employment or service continued with the Company for the lesser of (i) five years or (ii) the remaining term of this Option and this Option will continue to vest and remain exercisable during such period (the
“Disability Vesting Period”). Upon expiration of the Disability Vesting Period, this Option shall automatically terminate; provided, that, if the Optionee should die during such period, this Option shall automatically vest
and become immediately exercisable in full and shall be exercisable by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary, or, if none, the person(s) to whom the Optionee’s rights under this Option are transferred by will or the laws of descent and
distribution for one year following such death (but in no event beyond the term of the Option), and shall thereafter terminate. For purposes of this section, “Disability” shall mean (i) if the Optionee’s employment with the
Company is subject to the terms of an employment or other service agreement between such Optionee and the Company, which agreement includes a definition of “Disability”, the term “Disability” shall have the meaning set forth in
such agreement during the period that such agreement remains in effect; and (ii) in all other cases, the term “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental infirmity which impairs the Optionee’s ability to perform substantially
his or her duties for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days. 

	 	c.	If the Optionee’s termination of employment or service is due to Retirement (as defined herein), the Optionee shall be treated, for purposes of this Agreement
only, as if his/her employment or service continued with the Company for the lesser of (i) five years or (ii) the remaining term of this Option and this Option will continue to vest and remain exercisable during such period (the
“Retirement Vesting Period”). Upon expiration of the Retirement Vesting Period, this Option shall automatically terminate; provided, that, if the Optionee should die during such period, this Option shall automatically vest
and become immediately exercisable in full and shall be exercisable by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary, or, if none, the person(s) to whom such Optionee’s rights under this Option are transferred by will or the laws of descent and
distribution for one year following such death (but in no event beyond the term of the Option), and shall thereafter terminate. For purposes of this section, “Retirement” shall mean the Optionee’s resignation from the Company on or
after the date on which the sum of his/her (i) full years of age (measured as of his/her last birthday preceding the date of termination of employment or service) and (ii) full years of service with the Company measured from his/her date
of hire (or re-hire, if later), is equal at least seventy (70); provided, that, the Optionee must have attained at least the age of sixty (60) and completed at least five (5) full years of service with the Company
prior to the date of his/her resignation. Any disputes relating to whether the Optionee is eligible for Retirement under this Agreement, including, without limitation, his years’ of service, shall be settled by the Committee in its sole
discretion. 

  

	 	d.	If the termination of the Optionee’s employment or service is for Cause (as defined herein), this Option shall terminate upon such termination of employment or
service, regardless of whether this Option was then exercisable. For purposes of this section, “Cause” shall mean the Optionee’s (i) intentional failure to perform reasonably assigned duties, (ii) dishonesty or willful
misconduct in the performance of duties, (iii) involvement in a transaction in connection with the performance of duties to the Company which transaction is adverse to the interests of the Company and which is engaged in for personal profit or
(iv) willful violation of any law, rule or regulation in connection with the performance of duties (other than traffic violations or similar offenses). 

 

	 	e.	If the termination of the Optionee’s of employment or service is for any other reason, the unvested portion of this Option, any, shall terminate on the date of
termination and the vested portion of this Option shall be exercisable for a period of three-months following such termination of employment or service (but in no event beyond the term of the Option), and shall thereafter terminate. The
Optionee’s status as an employee shall not be considered terminated in the case of a leave of absence agreed to in writing by the Company (including, but not limited to, military and sick leave); provided, that, such leave is for
a period of not more than three-months or re-employment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute. 

	 	f.	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, including, without limitation, Sections 7(b) and 7(c) of this Agreement:

  

	 	i.	If it is determined by the Committee that prior to the date that this Option is fully vested (whether or not during the Disability Vesting Period or the Retirement
Vesting Period), the Optionee engaged (or is engaging in) any activity that is harmful to the business or reputation of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary), including, without limitation, any “Competitive Activity” (as defined below)
or conduct prejudicial to or in conflict with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary) or any material breach of a contractual obligation to the Company (or any parent or subsidiary) (collectively, “Prohibited Acts”), then, upon such
determination by the Committee, this Option shall be cancelled and cease to be exercisable (whether or not then vested). 

  

	 	ii.	If it is determined by the Committee that the Optionee engaged (or is engaging in) any Prohibited Act where such Prohibited Act occurred or is occurring within the one
(1) year period immediately following the exercise of any Option granted under this Agreement, the Optionee agrees that he/she will repay to the Company any gain realized on the exercise of such Option (such gain to be valued as of the relevant
exercise date(s)). Such repayment obligation will be effective as of the date specified by the Committee. Any repayment obligation must be satisfied in cash or, if permitted in the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a
Fair Market Value equal the gain realized upon exercise of the Option. The Company is specifically authorized to off-set and deduct from any other payments, if any, including, without limitation, wages, salary or bonus, that it may own the Optionee
to secure the repayment obligations herein contained. 

 The determination of whether the Optionee has engaged in a
Prohibited Act shall be determined by the Committee in good faith and in its sole discretion. The provisions of Section 7(f) shall have no effect following a Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competitive
Activity” shall mean the Optionee, without the prior written permission of the Committee, anywhere in the world where the Company (or any parent or subsidiary) engages in business, directly or indirectly, (i) entering into the employ of or
rendering any services to any person, entity or organization engaged in a business which is directly or indirectly related to the businesses of the Company or any parent or subsidiary (“Competitive Business”) or (ii) becoming
associated with or interested in any Competitive Business as an individual, partner, shareholder, creditor, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant, advisor or in any other relationship or capacity other than ownership of
passive investments not exceeding 1% of the vote or value of such Competitive Business. 
  

	 	g.	The term “Company” as used in this Agreement with reference to the employment or service of the Optionee shall include the Company and its parent and
subsidiaries, as appropriate. 

  

	 	7.	Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined herein), this Option shall become immediately vested and exercisable in full. For the
purposes hereof, the term “Change in Control” shall mean a transaction or series of transactions which constitutes an “exchange transaction” within the meaning of the Plan or such other event involving a change in ownership or
control of the business or assets of the Company as the Board, acting in its discretion, may determine. 

	 	8.	Rights as a Stockholder. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued in respect of the exercise of this Option until payment of the exercise price and the
applicable tax withholding obligations have been satisfied or provided for to the satisfaction of the Company, and the Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by this Option until such shares are duly and
validly issued by the Company to or on behalf of the Optionee. 

  

	 	9.	Non-Transferability. This Option is not assignable or transferable except upon the Optionee’s death to a beneficiary designated by the Optionee in a manner
prescribed or approved for this purpose by the Committee or, if no designated beneficiary shall survive the Optionee, pursuant to the Optionee’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During an Optionee’s lifetime, this Option
may be exercised only by the Optionee or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative. 

  

	 	10.	Limitation of Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right with respect to the continuation of his employment or service
with the Company, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company at any time to terminate such employment or other service or to increase or decrease, or otherwise adjust, the compensation and/or other terms and conditions of the
Optionee’s employment or other service. 

  

	 	11.	Restrictions on Transfer. The Optionee agrees, by acceptance of this Option, that, upon issuance of any shares hereunder, that, unless such shares are then
registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, (i) acquisition of such shares will be for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and (ii) the Company may require an investment letter from the Optionee
in such form as may be recommended by Company counsel. The Company shall in no event be obliged to register any securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (as now in effect or as hereafter amended) or to take any other affirmative action in
order to cause the exercise of this Option or the issuance or transfer of shares pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority. 

 

	 	12.	Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this Agreement shall be addressed to it in care of its Secretary at its executive offices at Clear Channel
Outdoor Holdings, Inc., 200 East Basse Road, San Antonio, Texas 78209-8328, and any notice to the Optionee shall be addressed to the Optionee at the current address shown on the payroll records of the Company. Any notice shall be deemed to be duly
given if and when properly addressed and posted by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. 

  

	 	13.	Incorporation of Plan by Reference. This Option is granted pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and this
Option shall in all respects be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. The Committee shall interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and its interpretations and determinations shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and any
other person claiming an interest hereunder, with respect to any issue arising hereunder or thereunder. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the Plan shall
govern and control. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them as set forth in the Plan. 

	 	14.	Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights of all persons claiming under this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving
effect to conflicts of laws principles thereof. 

  

	 	15.	Tax Status of Option. This Option is [not] intended to be an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. 

 

	 	16.	Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified other than by written instrument executed by the parties. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have signed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
