 4. NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. During the course of the Employee’s
employment with the Company, the Company will provide the Employee with access to certain confidential information, trade secrets, and other matters which are of a confidential or proprietary nature, including but not limited to the Company’s
customer lists, pricing information, production and cost data, compensation and fee information, strategic business plans, budgets, financial statements, and other information the Company treats as confidential or proprietary (collectively the
“Confidential Information”). The Company provides on an ongoing basis such Confidential Information as the Company deems necessary or desirable to aid the Employee in the performance of his duties. The Employee understands and acknowledges
that such Confidential Information is confidential and proprietary, and agrees not to disclose such Confidential Information to anyone outside the Company except to the extent that (i) the Employee deems such disclosure or use reasonably
necessary or appropriate in connection with performing his duties on behalf of the Company; (ii) the Employee is required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction (by subpoena or similar process) to disclose or discuss any Confidential
Information, provided that in such case, the Employee shall promptly inform the Company of such event, shall cooperate with the Company in attempting to obtain a protective order or to otherwise restrict such disclosure, and shall only disclose
Confidential Information to the minimum extent necessary to comply with any such court order; or (iii) such Confidential Information becomes generally known to and available for use in the industries in which the Company does business, other
than as a result of any action or inaction by the Employee. The Employee further agrees that he will not during employment and/or at any time thereafter use such Confidential Information in competing, directly or indirectly, with the 

  

 2 

 
Company. At such time as the Employee shall cease to be employed by the Company, he will immediately turn over to the Company all Confidential Information,
including papers, documents, writings, electronically stored information, other property, and all copies of them, provided to or created by him during the course of his employment with the Company. This nondisclosure covenant is binding on the
Employee, as well as his heirs, successors, and legal representatives, and will survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. 
 5. NONHIRE OF
COMPANY EMPLOYEES. To further preserve the rights of the Company pursuant to the nondisclosure covenant discussed above, and for the consideration promised by the Company under this Agreement, during the term of the Employee’s employment with
the Company and for a period of twelve months thereafter, regardless of the reason for termination of employment, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, (i) hire any current or prospective employee of the Company, or any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company (including, without limitation, any current or prospective employee of the Company within the 6-month period preceding the Employee’s last day of employment with the Company or within the 12-month period of this
covenant) who worked, works, or has been offered employment by the Company; (ii) solicit or encourage any such employee to terminate their employment with the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; or (iii) solicit or
encourage any such employee to accept employment with any business, operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity with which the Employee may be associated. 
 6. NON-COMPETITION. To further preserve the rights of the Company pursuant to the nondisclosure covenant discussed above, and for the consideration promised by the
Company under this Agreement, during the Employee’s employment with the Company and for a period of one year thereafter, regardless of the reason for termination of employment, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, as an owner,
director, principal, agent, officer, employee, partner, consultant, servant, or otherwise, carry on, operate, manage, control, or become involved in any manner with any business, operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other
person or entity which is in the same business as the Company in any location in which the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, operates or has plans or has projected to operate during the Employee’s employment with the
Company, including any area within a 50-mile radius of any such location. The foregoing shall not prohibit the Employee from owning up to 5.0% of the outstanding stock of any publicly held company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the
Employee’s employment with the Company has terminated, upon receiving written permission by the Board, the Employee shall be permitted to engage in such competing activities that would otherwise be prohibited by this covenant if such activities
are determined in the sole discretion of the Board in good faith to be immaterial to the operations of the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, in the location in question. 
 To further preserve the rights of the Company pursuant to the nondisclosure covenant discussed above, and for the consideration promised by the Company
under this Agreement, during the term of the Employee’s employment with the Company and for a period of one year thereafter, regardless of the reason for termination of employment, the Employee will not, directly or indirectly, either for
himself or for any other business, operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity, call upon, compete for, solicit, divert, or take away, or attempt to divert or take away current or prospective customers
(including, without limitation, any customer with whom the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the 

  

 3 

 
Company, (i) has an existing agreement or business relationship; (ii) has had an agreement or business relationship within the six-month period
preceding the Employee’s last day of employment with the Company; or (iii) has included as a prospect in its applicable pipeline) of the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. 
 The Company and the Employee agree that the restrictions contained in this noncompetition covenant are reasonable in scope and duration and are necessary
to protect the Company’s business interests and Confidential Information. If any provision of this noncompetition covenant as applied to any party or to any circumstance is adjudged by a court or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable, the
same will in no way affect any other circumstance or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. If any such provision, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration, or geographic area covered thereby, the
parties agree that the court or arbitrator making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope and/or duration and/or geographic area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such
provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. The parties agree and acknowledge that the breach of this noncompetition covenant will cause irreparable damage to the Company, and upon breach of any provision of this noncompetition
covenant, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief; provided, however, that this shall in no way limit any other remedies which the Company may have (including, without limitation, the right
to seek monetary damages). 
 Should the Employee violate the provisions of this noncompetition covenant, then in addition to all other
rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the duration of this covenant shall automatically be extended for the period of time from which the Employee began such violation until he permanently ceases such violation.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the noncompetition covenant is adjudged to be invalid or unenforceable, or
if it is substantially reduced in scope or geographic area, and if Employee then performs services in any capacity in competition with the Company, then the Company shall have no severance compensation obligations to Employee under Section 8 of
this Agreement. 
 7. TERMINATION. The Employee’s employment with the Company may be terminated under the following circumstances: 
 (A) DEATH. The Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate upon his death. 
 (B) DISABILITY. The Company may terminate the Employee’s employment with the Company if, as a result of the Employee’s incapacity due to
physical or mental illness, the Employee is unable to perform his duties under this Agreement on a full-time basis for more than 90 days in any 12 month period, as determined by the Company. 
 (C) TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company may terminate the Employee’s employment without cause, subject to the severance obligations in

 4

performance of his duties, including, without limitation, violation of the Company’s policy on sexual harassment, misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or any of its affiliates other than the occasional, customary and de minimis
use of Company property for personal purposes, or other willful misconduct as determined in the sole reasonable discretion of the Company; (ii) continued, willful and deliberate non-performance by the Employee of his duties hereunder (other

failure to follow lawful directives where such refusal or failure has continued for more than 30 days following written notice of such refusal or failure; (iv) a criminal or civil conviction of the Employee, a plea of nolo contendere by the

Company, including, without limitation, conviction of fraud, theft, embezzlement, or a crime involving moral turpitude; (v) a material breach by the Employee of any of the provisions of this Agreement; or (vi) a material violation by the

 (D) Termination By Employee For Good Cause. Employee may terminate this
Agreement at any time for “Good Cause,” which is defined as one of the following: (i) a repeated willful failure of Company to comply with a material term of this Agreement after written notice by Employee specifying the alleged
failure; or (ii) a substantial and unusual change in Employee’s position, material duties, responsibilities, or authority without an offer of additional reasonable compensation as determined by Company in light of compensation levels for
similarly situated employees; or (iii) a substantial and unusual reduction in Employee’s material duties, responsibilities or authority. If Employee elects to terminate this Agreement for “Good Cause” as described above in this
paragraph, Employee must provide Company written notice within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of “Good Cause,” after which Company shall have thirty (30) days within which to cure. If in spite of Company’s efforts
to cure, Employee still elects to terminate this Agreement, he must do so within ten (10) days after the end of the cure period.

 13. LITIGATION AND REGULATORY COOPERATION. During and after the Employee’s employment, the Employee shall reasonably
cooperate with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Employee was
employed by the Company; provided, however, that such cooperation shall not materially and adversely affect the Employee or expose the Employee to an increased probability of civil or criminal litigation. The Employee’s cooperation in
connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after the
Employee’s employment, the Employee also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or
occurrences that transpired while the Employee was employed by the Company. The Company will pay the Employee on an hourly basis (to be derived from his base salary) for requested litigation and regulatory cooperation that occurs after his
termination of employment, and reimburse the Employee for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with his performance under this paragraph, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. 
 14. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE; LEGAL EXPENSES. The Company shall indemnify the Employee to the fullest extent permitted by law, in effect at the time of the subject
act or omission, and shall advance to the Employee reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses as such fees and expenses are incurred (subject to an undertaking from the Employee to repay such advances if it shall be finally determined by a
judicial decision which is not subject to further appeal that the Employee was not entitled to the reimbursement of such fees and expenses), and the Employee will be entitled to the protection of any insurance policies that the Company may elect to
maintain generally for the benefit of its directors and officers against all costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained by him in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having
been a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or his serving or having served any other enterprise as a director, officer or employee at the request of the Company (other than any dispute, claim or controversy
arising under or relating to this Agreement). The Company covenants to maintain during the Employee’s employment for the benefit of the Employee (in his capacity as an officer and director of the Company) Directors and Officers Insurance
providing benefits to the Employee no less favorable, taken as a whole, than the benefits provided to the other similarly situated employees of the Company by the Directors and Officers Insurance maintained by the Company on the date hereof;
provided, however, that the Board may elect to terminate Directors and Officers Insurance for all officers and directors, including the Employee, if the Board determines in good faith that such insurance is not available or is available only at
unreasonable expense. 
 15. ARBITRATION. The parties agree that any dispute, controversy or claim, whether based on contract, tort, statute, discrimination,
retaliation, or otherwise, relating to, arising from or connected in any manner to this Agreement, or to the alleged breach of this Agreement, or arising out of or relating to Employee’s employment or termination of employment, shall, upon
timely written request of either party be submitted to and resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in San Antonio, Texas. The arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the National Rules for Resolution of Employment
Disputes of the American Arbitration 

  

 8 

 
Association (“AAA”) in effect at the time the claim or dispute arose, unless other rules are agreed upon by the parties. Unless otherwise agreed to
by the parties in writing, the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator who is a member of the AAA and who is selected pursuant to the methods set out in the National Rules for Resolution of Employment Disputes of the AAA. Any claims
received after the applicable/relevant statute of limitations period has passed shall be deemed null and void. The award of the arbitrator shall be a reasoned award with findings of fact and conclusions of law. Either party may bring an action in
any court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration under this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, and to vacate an arbitration award. However, in actions seeking to vacate an award, the standard of review to be applied by said court
to the arbitrator’s findings of fact and conclusions of law will be the same as that applied by an appellate court reviewing a decision of a trial court sitting without a jury. The Company will pay the actual costs of arbitration excluding
attorney’s fees. Each party will pay its own attorneys fees and other costs incurred by their respective attorneys. A breach or threat of breach of this Agreement by either party to this Agreement shall give the non-breaching party the right to
seek a temporary restraining order and a preliminary or permanent injunction in the appropriate court to enjoin the breaching party from violating this Agreement in order to prevent immediate and irreparable harm to the non-breaching party.

 16. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE EMPLOYEE. The Employee represents and warrants to the Company that he is under no contractual or other
restriction which is inconsistent with the execution of this Agreement, the performance of his duties hereunder or the other rights of Company hereunder. The Employee also represents and warrants to the Company that he is under no physical or mental
disability that would hinder the performance of his duties under this Agreement. 
 17. SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE. Payments under this Agreement
(the “Payments”) shall be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A, the Regulations, applicable case law and administrative
guidance. All Payments shall be, under all circumstances, deemed to come from an unfunded plan. Further, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all Payments subject to Section 409A will not be accelerated in
time or schedule. Employee and Company will not be able to change the designated time or form of any Payments subject to Section 409A. In addition, all Severance Payments that are deferred compensation and subject to
Section 409A will only be payable upon a “separation from service” (as that term is defined at Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations) from the Company and from all other corporations and trades or businesses, if any,
that would be treated as a single “service recipient” with the Company under Section 1.409A-1(h)(3) of the Treasury Regulations. All references in this Agreement to a termination of employment and correlative terms shall be construed
to require a “separation from service.”  
 18. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes any prior written or oral agreements or understandings between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. No modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and
signed by or on behalf of the parties hereto. The failure of a party to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no manner affect the right of such party at a later time to enforce any provision of this Agreement. A waiver of
the breach of any term or condition of this Agreement 

  

 9 

 
shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term or condition. This Agreement is intended to be performed in
accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, for any reason and to any extent, be
held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity and unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof or the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances, all of which shall be enforced to the greatest extent
permitted by law. The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be a part of or control or affect the meaning of any provision hereof. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first written above, with the express understanding that
this Agreement is subject to (i) closing of the amended merger agreement dated May 13, 2008, and (ii) formal approval by the Board of Directors of CCU and CC Media Holdings, Inc.

Holder of any Security Created by any Collateral Document Governed by the Laws of the Netherlands. With respect to any Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower organized or incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands: 
 (i) Each Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower must pay the Administrative Agent, as an independent and separate creditor, an amount equal
to each Secured Party Claim on its due date (the “Administrative Agent Claim”). 
 (ii) The Administrative
Agent may enforce performance of any Administrative Agent Claim in its own name as an independent and separate right. This includes any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in respect of
any kind of insolvency proceeding. 
 (iii) Each Secured Party must, at the request of the Administrative Agent, perform any
act required in connection with the enforcement of any Administrative Agent Claim. This includes joining in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Administrative Agent. 
 (iv) Each Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to require a Secured Party to
join in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Administrative Agent in respect of any Administrative Agent Claim. 
 (v)
Discharge by a Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower of a Secured Party Claim will discharge the corresponding Administrative Agent Claim

in the same amount. Discharge by a Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower of an Administrative Agent Claim will discharge the corresponding Secured Party
Claim in the same amount. 
 (vi) The aggregate amount of the Administrative Agent Claims will never exceed the aggregate
amount of the Secured Party Claims. 
 (vii) A defect affecting an Administrative Agent Claim against a Foreign Subsidiary
Revolving Borrower will not affect any Secured Party Claim. A defect affecting a Secured Party Claim against a Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower will not affect any Administrative Agent Claim.” 
 SECTION 6. Amendment to Schedule 1.01E. Schedule 1.01E of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the words “except, in the case
of NBC Universal, Inc., which shall be limited to any Subsidiary of the foregoing (and shall expressly not include GE Capital or any other Subsidiary or division of General Electric Co. engaged in the business of corporate finance)” immediately
after “any Affiliate of the foregoing.” 
 SECTION 7. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective
upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of executed counterparts of this Amendment, executed by Merger Sub and the Required Lenders. 
 SECTION 8. Credit Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Agents,
the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Loan Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrowers to any future consent to, or waiver, amendment,
modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. 
 SECTION 9. Applicable Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (A) THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN). 
 (B) EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.10 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AS IF SUCH SECTION WERE SET FORTH IN FULL HEREIN.

 SECTION 10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment shall be effective as delivery of an original

executed counterpart of this Amendment. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission
be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission. 
 SECTION 11. Headings. The Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and shall not affect
the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment 
 SECTION 12. Severability. If any provision of
this Amendment is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment shall not be affected or impaired thereby and the intent of such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision shall be followed as closely as legally possible. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
