2.Section 2 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:  

Employment Term.

3.Section 3(a) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

(a)During the Term and subject to the reassignment of functions by the Chief Executive Officer, Executive shall serve as the Senior Executive Vice President of the Company and shall have the authorities, duties and responsibilities for overseeing (i) the following business and corporate functions: Policy (in partnership with Government Affairs), Spectrum Networks (including the RSNs and the local news and sports networks), Human Resources (including Diversity and Labor Relations), Communications and Security; and (ii) the legal

5.Section 11(b) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the period at the end of clause (D) therein with a semicolon and the word “and” and by adding the following new clause (E) at the end thereof:

(E)       notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other agreement, plan or arrangement maintained or sponsored by the Company or its affiliates, including any stock option or equity incentive plan or award agreement between the Company and Executive (each, a “Plan”), (I) to the extent Executive’s rights or benefits under any Plan depend upon the reason for Executive’s termination of employment, the termination of Executive’s employment shall be treated as a termination by the Company without cause (or words of similar meaning) under any such Plan, and (II) Executive shall become vested in a pro-rata portion of any unvested stock options or other equity award (based on the number of days of the 
2

vesting period that has elapsed as of such termination) then held by Executive immediately prior to the Date of Termination, including without limitation, any equity awards granted to Executive during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.  

6.Section 11(e) of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and “Intentionally left blank” substituted therein.
