administrative, marketing, creative and other executive services to Holdings and its Subsidiaries as are from time to time necessary in connection with the management and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, in each case subject to the

the business and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. Executive will report directly to the Board. All other employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries will report, directly or indirectly, to Executive. Executive will perform his duties and
responsibilities to the best of his abilities in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike and efficient manner. 
 Section 3.

an aggregate annual amount equal to $10,000. Executive will be entitled to four weeks of paid vacation each year. 
 (c)
Reimbursement of Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Company will reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in the course of performing his duties under this Agreement which are consistent with the
Company’s policies in effect from time to time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses, subject to the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such expenses. 
 Section 4. Bonus. Following the end of each fiscal year during the Employment Period, in addition to Executive’s Salary, the
Board may, in its sole discretion, award Executive a bonus (the “Bonus”) of up to 40% of the amount of Executive’s Salary in effect at the time such Bonus is declared as the Board deems appropriate in light of Executive’s
performance and the performance of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, including their performance relative to budgeted EBITDA, numbers of subscribers, capital expenditures and other goals established from time to time by the Board and/or any other facts
and circumstances that the Board, in its sole discretion, may deem to be relevant. Any Bonus awarded hereunder will be payable in accordance with the general payroll practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries, but not prior to the receipt by
Holdings of audited consolidated financial statements for Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the applicable fiscal year. 
 Section 5. Termination. 
 (a) The Employment Period will continue until the earliest of: (i) the third
anniversary of the date hereof; (ii) Executive’s resignation, death or disability or other incapacity (as determined by the Board in good faith); or (iii) the giving of notice of termination by the Company or a majority of the members
of the Board (A) for Cause or (B) for any other reason or for no reason (a termination described in this clause (iii)(B) being a termination by the Company “Without Cause”) (the date on which such earliest event occurs,
the “Termination Date”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” will mean (i) Executive’s neglect or refusal to perform his duties hereunder or Executive’s noncompliance (except where due to
disability) with directives or other instructions issued to Executive from time to time by the Board or the Company’s chief executive officer, which neglect, refusal or noncompliance will not have been corrected by Executive within 30 days
following receipt by Executive of written notice from the Company of such neglect, refusal or noncompliance, which notice will specifically set forth the nature of said neglect, refusal or noncompliance and the actions required to correct the same,
(ii) any willful or intentional act of Executive that has the intended effect of injuring the reputation or business of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in any material respect; (iii) any continued or repeated absence from

 2 

 
by Executive or repeated public drunkenness, (v) conviction of, or a plea of guilty or no contest or similar plea with respect to, a felony or (vi) the commission by Executive of an act
of fraud or embezzlement. 
 (b) In the event the Employment Period expires on the third anniversary of the date hereof or is
terminated due to Executive’s resignation, disability or other incapacity or by the Company for Cause or in connection with a Sale of the Company, Executive will not be entitled to receive his Salary or any fringe benefits or Bonus for periods
after the expiration or termination of the Employment Period. In the event the Employment Period is terminated by the Company Without Cause or due to Executive’s death, then, so long as Executive continues to comply with Sections 7 and
8 hereof, Executive (or Executive’s estate in the case of a termination due to Executive’s death) will be entitled to receive (i) severance payments in an aggregate amount equal to six months’ Salary based on the Salary in
effect at the time the Employment Period is terminated and (ii) Benefits at the same level as they are provided from time to time to the Company’s senior management employees, for a period equal to six months from the date of such
termination. Any such severance payments paid to Executive by the Company will be paid in equal monthly installments; provided, that Executive will be required to sign a release of all past, present and future claims against ABRY, its
Affiliates and the Related Companies as a condition to receiving such payments and Benefits. 
 Section 6. Resignation as
Officer or Director. Upon the termination of the Employment Period, Executive will be deemed to have resigned from each position (if any) that he then holds as an officer or director of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, and Executive will
take any action that Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may request in order to confirm or evidence such resignation. 
 Section 7. Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that the information, observations and data that have been or may be obtained by Executive during his employment relationship with, or through his involvement as a member or
stockholder of, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or predecessor thereof or as an employee of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries whose duties involve managing any of the affairs of any other Person (including Grande Communications Networks, LLC
and its Subsidiaries) (each of Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, any such predecessor or any managed Person being a “Related Company” and, collectively, the “Related Companies”), prior to and after
the date of this Agreement concerning the business or affairs of the Related Companies (collectively, “Confidential Information”) are and will be the property of the Related Companies. Therefore, Executive agrees that he will not
disclose to any unauthorized Person or use for the account of himself or any other Person any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of Holdings (by the action of the Board), unless and to the extent that such Confidential
Information has become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive’s improper acts or omissions to act, or is required to be disclosed by law. Executive will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Company at the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, or at any other time the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and
other documents and data (and copies thereof) containing or relating to Confidential Information or the business of any Related Company which Executive may then possess or have under his control.

 Section 8. Non-Compete, Non-Solicitation. 
 (a) Non-Compete. Executive acknowledges that during his employment relationship with, or through his involvement as a member or
stockholder of, any Related Company, Executive has and will become familiar with trade secrets and other Confidential Information concerning such Related Companies, and with investment opportunities relating to their respective businesses, and that
Executive’s services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the foregoing entities. Therefore, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for a period of two years thereafter (the “Noncompete
Period”), he will not directly or indirectly own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any other manner engage in any business, or invest in or lend money to any business (in each case, including on his
own behalf or on behalf of another Person) which constitutes or is competitive with (including, without limitation, by competing for the same subscriber or customer base) any business conducted by any System owned or managed by any Related Company
(as and where such Systems are operated or managed or are proposed to be operated or managed by the Related Companies during the Employment Period, or as of the end of the Employment Period if the Employment Period has then ended) (any such
business, a “Competitive Business”). Nothing in this Section 8 will prohibit Executive from (i) being a passive owner of less than 5% of the outstanding stock of a corporation of any class which is publicly traded,
so long as Executive has no direct or indirect participation in the business of such corporation or (ii) at any time during the portion of the Noncompete Period following the Termination Date, being employed by a Person that is engaged in any
Competitive Business or investing in or lending money to any Competitive Business, provided that Executive (A) complies with Section 7 above and (B) has no direct involvement in any aspect of such Competitive Business.

 (b) Non-Solicitation. During the Noncompete Period, Executive will not directly or indirectly (i) induce or
attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of any Related Company to leave the employ or contracting relationship with such entity, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such entity and any employee or full-time
independent contractor thereof, or (ii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier or other business relation of any Related Company to cease doing business with such entity or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such
customer, supplier or other business relation and such entity. 
 Section 9. Enforcement. The Company and Executive agree
that if, at the time of enforcement of Section 7 or 8 hereof, a court holds that any restriction stated in any such Section is unreasonable under circumstances then existing, then the maximum period, scope or geographical area
reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because Executive’s services are unique and because Executive has access to information of the type described in Sections 7 and 8
hereof, the Company and Executive agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of Section 7 or 8 hereof. Therefore, in the event of a breach of Section 7 or 8 hereof, any Related Company
may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of
Section 7 or 8 hereof. The provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof are intended to be for the benefit of each Related Company and their respective successors and assigns, each of which may

  

 4 

 
enforce such provisions and each of which (other than the Company) is an express third-party beneficiary of such provisions and this Agreement generally. Sections 7, 8 and 9
hereof will survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period. 
 Section 10. Representations and Warranties of Executive. Executive represents and warrants to Holdings and its Subsidiaries as follows: 
 (a) Other Agreements. Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment, noncompete, nonsolicitation, nondisclosure,
confidentiality or similar agreement with any other Person which would materially affect his performance under this Agreement. 
 (b) Authorization. This Agreement when executed and delivered will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Executive, enforceable against Executive in accordance with its terms.

disclose to any unauthorized Person or use for the account of himself or any other Person any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of Holdings (by the action of the Board), unless and to the extent that such Confidential
Information has become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive’s improper acts or omissions to act, or is required to be disclosed by law. Executive will deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Company at the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, or at any other time the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and
other documents and data (and copies thereof) containing or relating to Confidential Information or the business of any Related Company which Executive may then possess or have under his control.

 Section 8. Non-Compete, Non-Solicitation. 
 (a) Non-Compete. Executive acknowledges that during his employment relationship with, or through his involvement as a member or
stockholder of, any Related Company, Executive has and will become familiar with trade secrets and other Confidential Information concerning such Related Companies, and with investment opportunities relating to their respective businesses, and that
Executive’s services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the foregoing entities. Therefore, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for a period of two years thereafter (the “Noncompete
Period”), he will not directly or indirectly own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any other manner engage in any business, or invest in or lend money to any business (in each case, including on his
own behalf or on behalf of another Person) which constitutes or is competitive with (including, without limitation, by competing for the same subscriber or customer base) any business conducted by any System owned or managed by any Related Company
(as and where such Systems are operated or managed or are proposed to be operated or managed by the Related Companies during the Employment Period, or as of the end of the Employment Period if the Employment Period has then ended) (any such
business, a “Competitive Business”). Nothing in this Section 8 will prohibit Executive from (i) being a passive owner of less than 5% of the outstanding stock of a corporation of any class which is publicly traded,
so long as Executive has no direct or indirect participation in the business of such corporation or (ii) at any time during the portion of the Noncompete Period following the Termination Date, being employed by a Person that is engaged in any
Competitive Business or investing in or lending money to any Competitive Business, provided that Executive (A) complies with Section 7 above and (B) has no direct involvement in any aspect of such Competitive Business.

 (b) Non-Solicitation. During the Noncompete Period, Executive will not directly or indirectly (i) induce or
attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of any Related Company to leave the employ or contracting relationship with such entity, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such entity and any employee or full-time
independent contractor thereof, or (ii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier or other business relation of any Related Company to cease doing business with such entity or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such
customer, supplier or other business relation and such entity. 
 Section 9. Enforcement. The Company and Executive agree
that if, at the time of enforcement of Section 7 or 8 hereof, a court holds that any restriction stated in any such Section is unreasonable under circumstances then existing, then the maximum period, scope or geographical area
reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because Executive’s services are unique and because Executive has access to information of the type described in Sections 7 and 8
hereof, the Company and Executive agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of Section 7 or 8 hereof. Therefore, in the event of a breach of Section 7 or 8 hereof, any Related Company
may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other

relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of Section 7 or 8 hereof. The provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof are
intended to be for the benefit of each Related Company and their respective successors and assigns, each of which may enforce such provisions and each of which (other than the Company) is an express third-party beneficiary of such provisions and
this Agreement generally. Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof will survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period. 
 Section 10. Representations and Warranties of Executive. Executive represents and warrants to Holdings and its Subsidiaries as
follows:

nondisclosure, confidentiality or similar agreement with any other Person which would materially affect his performance under this Agreement.

 -7- 

 (g) Governing Law. Issues and questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or
provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Delaware
will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and any schedule hereto), even though under Delaware’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply. 

 (h) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF
ACTION WILL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR

OF SUCH SUITS, LEGAL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS. IN ANY SUCH SUIT, LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING, EACH PARTY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS AND AGREES THAT SERVICE THEREOF MAY BE MADE BY ANY MEANS SPECIFIED FOR NOTICE
PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(a). TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR ANY SUCH SUIT, LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT AND
HEREBY FURTHER WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUIT, LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 
 (j) No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises,
this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 
  

 -8- 

 (k) Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, this
Agreement and the other agreements referred to in this Agreement embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede and preempt any prior
understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties or their predecessors, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter of this Agreement in any way, including that certain letter agreement, dated as of
April 17, 2003, by and between ABRY Partners, LLC and Executive. 
 (l) Time is of the Essence. Time is of the
essence for each and every provision of this Agreement. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any privilege or the discharge or any duty hereunder will fall upon a day that is not a Business Day, the party having such privilege or duty may
exercise such privilege or discharge such duty on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day. 
 (m) Actions by the
Company. Any action, election or determination by the Board or any committee thereof pursuant to or relating to this Agreement will be effective if, and only if, it is taken or made by (or with the prior approval of) a majority of the members of
the Board who are not at the time employees of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.
