SECTION 8.    RECOUPMENT OF AWARDS:  Awards under the Plan shall be subject to any clawback policy as in effect from time to time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 13 of this Plan, no termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom an Award has been determined for a completed Plan Year but not yet paid, adversely affect the rights of such Participant in such Award.
SECTION 12.

Accordingly, the Plan will be interpreted, applied and, to the minimum extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, amended, so that the Plan does not fail to meet, and is operated in accordance with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the intended benefits of the Plan are preserved.  Reference to Section 409A of the code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.
SECTION 14.    UNFUNDED STATUS:  Awards shall be made from the general funds of the Company, and no special or separate fund shall be established or other segregation of assets made to assure payment.  No participant or other person shall have under any circumstances any interest in any particular property or assets of the Company.  
SECTION 15.    SEVERABILITY:  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is, becomes, or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose of intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the remainder of the Plan or such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

Recitals. CCOH, as the current legal and equitable owner and holder, and the payee, of the First Amended Note, and Maker desire to amend the First Amended Note to amend the Contract Rate payable on the Note, with such new Contract Rate being applicable as of the date hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by the parties hereto, Maker and CCOH agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned in the First Amended Note, and the term “Note” when used in this Amendment means the First Amended Note, as further amended hereby.

SECTION 2. Amendments.

2.1.  The section titled “Definitions” is hereby modified and amended by adding the following defined terms:

“Average Yield-to-Maturity” shall be the sum of the yields to maturity of the last reported trade on each Trading Day during the calendar month of the series of Clear Channel Reference Notes that has the nearest future maturity date, divided by the total number of Trading Days that month. For purposes of determining the “Contract Rate,” the series of Clear Channel Reference Notes that has the nearest future maturity date shall be determined without regard to any series of Clear Channel Reference Notes that has a maturity date less than 90 calendar days from the date of measurement. If no trades were reported during the month for the applicable Clear Channel Reference Notes, the Average Yield-to-Maturity from the previous month shall be used. If no series of Clear Channel Reference Notes that has a maturity date of 90 days or more from the date of measurement continues in existence on the date of measurement, Average Yield to Maturity shall be calculated in the manner described in the three preceding sentences, except that the publicly traded Clear Channel unsecured debt that has the nearest maturity date of 90 days or more from the date of measurement shall be substituted for the Clear Channel Reference Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the Average Yield-to-Maturity shall in no event be less than 6.5% per annum, nor greater than 20% per annum.

“Borrowing Availability” shall mean the aggregate amount of cash that can be borrowed by Clear Channel or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries under any revolving credit facility, line of credit or similar agreement as of the applicable measurement date; provided that, Borrowing Availability cannot exceed as of the applicable measurement date the amount of cash that Clear Channel would be permitted to borrow under any such facility or agreement pursuant to any other financing agreement to which Clear Channel is a party.

“Clear Channel Liquidity” shall be an amount equal to the aggregate of (a) cash and cash equivalents set forth on Clear Channel’s balance sheet, excluding Unavailable Cash and Outdoor Minority Cash; and (b) Borrowing Availability.

“Clear Channel Liquidity Ratio” shall be an amount equal to (A) Clear Channel Liquidity divided by (B) the Outdoor Public Share.

“Outdoor Public Share” shall mean the amount of cash that would be payable to holders of Outdoor common stock, other than Clear Channel or any subsidiary of Clear Channel, assuming (x) a demand by Outdoor of the aggregate amount outstanding under the Note and (y) a simultaneous dividend of the proceeds of such demand to the stockholders of Outdoor.

“Trading Day” shall be a day on which the applicable series of Clear Channel Reference Notes was traded, and a yield-to-maturity was recorded for at least one such trade, as reported by FINRA TRACE on Bloomberg LP.

“Unavailable Cash” shall mean the amount of cash on Clear Channel’s consolidated balance sheet that is “restricted” as determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or that is otherwise contractually restricted from being available for general use (e.g., cash pledged as collateral).

2.2. The term “Contract Rate” as defined and used in the First Amended Note is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

                “‘Contract Rate’ means a variable per annum rate of interest (as determined by Clear Channel from time to time and for each applicable period under the Note) equal to the weighted-average interest rate on the (a) outstanding Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings, Inc. 6.50% Series A Senior Notes due 2022 and Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings, Inc. 6.50% Series B Senior Notes due 2022 (collectively, the “CCWH Notes”) and (b) any term loans or debt securities issued to refinance a significant portion of the CCWH Notes; provided that, in the event that (x) the outstanding balance due under the Note exceeds $1.0 billion, the per annum rate of interest applicable to such excess balance (i.e., the amount that exceeds $1.0 billion) will be (only for so long as the outstanding balance due under the Note exceeds $1.0 billion) an amount equal to the Average Yield-to-Maturity or (y) the Clear Channel Liquidity Ratio is, on an actual basis, less than 2.0x, the per annum rate of interest applicable to the entire outstanding balance due under the Note (only for so long as the Clear Channel Liquidity Ratio is less than 2.0x) will be an amount equal to the Average Yield-to-Maturity. Interest will be calculated by Clear Channel as of the last day of each month using (x) daily Note balance amounts and (y) (if applicable) the Average Yield-to-Maturity for such  month. For purposes of clarity, the Contract Rate as of the date hereof is 6.5% per annum.”
