 Exhibit 10.3 
 Warner Music Group Corp. 
 2005 Omnibus Award Plan 
 (Amended and Restated Effective February 23, 2007) 
 1. Purpose 
 The purpose of the Plan is to provide a means through which the Company and its Affiliates may attract able
persons to enter and remain in the employ of the Company and its Affiliates and to provide a means whereby employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its Affiliates can acquire and maintain Common Stock ownership, or be paid incentive
compensation measured by reference to the value of Common Stock, thereby strengthening their commitment to the welfare of the Company and its Affiliates and promoting an identity of interest between stockholders and these persons. 
 So that the appropriate incentive can be provided, the Plan provides for granting Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation
Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Phantom Stock Awards, Stock Bonuses and Performance Compensation Awards, or any combination of the foregoing.

having “cause” to terminate a Participant’s employment or service, as defined in any existing employment, consulting or any other agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate or, in the absence of such an
employment, consulting or other agreement, upon (i) the determination by the Committee that the Participant has ceased to perform his duties to the Company, or an Affiliate (other than as a result of his incapacity due to physical or mental
illness or injury), which failure amounts to an intentional and extended neglect of his duties to such party, (ii) the Committee’s determination that the Participant has engaged or is about to engage in conduct materially injurious to the
Company or an Affiliate, (iii) the Participant having been convicted of, or plead guilty or no contest to, a felony or any crime involving as a material element fraud or dishonesty, (iv) the failure of the Participant to follow the lawful

Section 162(m)) and (ii) persons subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act. 
 (d) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the

 5. Grant of Awards; Shares Subject to the Plan 
 The Committee may, from time to time, grant Awards of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Phantom Stock Awards,
Stock Bonuses and/or Performance Compensation Awards to one or more Eligible Persons; provided, however, that: 
 (a) Subject
to Section 13, the aggregate number of shares of Stock in respect of which Awards may be granted under the Plan is 3,416,133 shares; 
 (b) Shares of Stock shall be deemed to have been used in settlement of Awards whether or not they are actually delivered or the Fair Market Value equivalent of such shares is paid in cash; provided, however, that shares of
Stock delivered (either directly or by means of attestation) in full or partial payment of the Option Price in accordance with Section 7(b) shall be deducted from the number of shares of Stock delivered to the Participant pursuant to such
Option for purposes of determining the number of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. In accordance with (and without limitation upon) the preceding sentence, if and to the extent an Award under the Plan expires, terminates or is canceled
for any reason whatsoever without the Participant having received any benefit therefrom, the shares covered by such Award shall again become available for future Awards under the Plan. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a Participant shall not
be deemed to have received any “benefit” (i) in the case of forfeited Restricted Stock Awards by reason of having enjoyed voting rights and dividend rights prior to the date of forfeiture or (ii) in the case of an Award canceled
by reason of a new Award being granted in substitution therefor; 
 (c) Stock delivered by the Company in settlement of Awards may be
authorized and unissued Stock, Stock held in the treasury of the Company, Stock purchased on the open market or by private purchase, or a combination of the foregoing; and 
 (d) Subject to Section 13, no person may be granted Options or SARs under the Plan during any calendar year with respect to more than 1,500,000
shares of Stock. 
 6. Eligibility 
 Participation shall be limited to Eligible Persons who have entered into an Award agreement or who have received written notification from the Committee, or from a person designated by the Committee, that they have been selected to
participate in the Plan. 
 7. Options 
 The Committee is authorized to grant one or more Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options to any Eligible Person; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any Eligible Person who is
not an employee of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary. Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, or to such other conditions as may be reflected in the applicable Stock Option Agreement.

 (a) Option Price. The exercise price (“Option Price”) per share of Stock for each Option which is not a Substitution
Award shall be set by the Committee at the time of grant but shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Date of Grant. 
 (b) Manner of Exercise and Form of Payment. No shares of Stock shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the Option Price therefor is received by the Company. Options
which have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written notice of exercise to the Committee accompanied by payment of the Option Price. The Option Price shall be payable (i) in cash, check, cash equivalent and/or shares of Stock
valued at the Fair Market Value at the time the Option is exercised (including by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of shares of Stock in lieu of actual delivery of such shares to the Company); provided, that such
shares of Stock are Mature Shares; (ii) in the discretion of the 

 
Committee, either (A) in other property having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the Option Price or (B) by delivering to the
Committee a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to deliver promptly to the Company an amount sufficient to pay the Option Price; or (iii) by such other method as the Committee may allow. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner which the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or any other applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company or any Affiliates are listed or traded. 
 (c) Vesting, Option Period and Expiration. Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the
Committee and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “Option Period”); provided, however, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any Option, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of such Option other than with respect to exercisability. If an Option is exercisable in installments, such
installments or portions thereof which become exercisable shall remain exercisable until the Option expires. 
 (d) Stock Option
Agreement—Other Terms and Conditions. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement. Except as specifically provided otherwise in such Stock Option Agreement, each Option granted under the Plan shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 (i) Each Option or portion thereof that is exercisable shall be exercisable
for the full amount or for any part thereof. 
 (ii) Each share of Stock purchased through the exercise of an Option shall be
paid for in full at the time of the exercise. Each Option shall cease to be exercisable, as to any share of Stock, when the Participant purchases the share or exercises a related SAR or when the Option expires. 
 (iii) Subject to Section 12(k), Options shall not be transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him. 
 (iv) Each Option shall vest and
become exercisable by the Participant in accordance with the vesting schedule established by the Committee and set forth in the Stock Option Agreement. 
 (v) At the time of any exercise of an Option, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, require a Participant to deliver to the Committee a written representation that the shares of Stock to be acquired upon such
exercise are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a view to the distribution thereof and any other representation deemed necessary by the Committee to ensure compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. Upon
such a request by the Committee, delivery of such representation prior to the delivery of any shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be a condition precedent to the right of the Participant or such other person to purchase any shares. In the
event certificates for Stock are delivered under the Plan with respect to which such investment representation has been obtained, the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
representation and to restrict transfer in the absence of compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws. 
 (vi)
Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date he or she makes a disqualifying disposition of any Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock
Option. A disqualifying disposition is any disposition (including any sale) of such Stock before the later of (A) two years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (B) one year after the date the Participant acquired the
Stock by exercising the Incentive Stock Option. The Company may, if determined by the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by it, retain possession of any Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option as
agent for the applicable Participant until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence, subject to complying with any instructions from such Participant as to the sale of such Stock. 
 (e) Incentive Stock Option Grants to 10% Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, if an Incentive Stock
Option is granted to a Participant who owns stock representing 

 
more than ten percent of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of a Subsidiary or Parent, the Option Period shall not exceed five years
from the Date of Grant of such Option and the Option Price shall be at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value (on the Date of Grant) of the Stock subject to the Option. 
 (f) $100,000 Per Year Limitation for Incentive Stock Options. To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Date of Grant)
of Stock for which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock
Options. 
 8. Stock Appreciation Rights 
 Any Option granted under the Plan may include SARs, either at the Date of Grant or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, by subsequent amendment. The Committee also may award SARs to Eligible Persons independent of any Option.
A SAR shall be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall impose, including, but not limited to, the following: 
 (a) Vesting, Transferability and Expiration. A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become exercisable, be transferable and shall expire according to the same vesting schedule, transferability rules
and expiration provisions as the corresponding Option. A SAR granted independent of an Option shall become exercisable, be transferable and shall expire in accordance with a vesting schedule, transferability rules and expiration provisions as
established by the Committee and reflected in an Award agreement. 
 (b) Automatic Exercise. If on the last day of the Option Period
(or in the case of a SAR independent of an option, the period established by the Committee after which the SAR shall expire), the Fair Market Value exceeds the Strike Price, the Participant has not exercised the SAR or the corresponding Option, and
neither the SAR nor the corresponding Option has expired, such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Participant on such last day and the Company shall make the appropriate payment therefor. 
 (c) Payment. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the number of shares subject to the SAR
multiplied by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the exercise date over the Strike Price. The Company shall pay such excess in cash or in shares of Stock valued at Fair Market Value. 
 (d) Method of Exercise. A Participant may exercise a SAR at such time or times as may be determined by the Committee at the time of grant by
filing an irrevocable written notice with the Committee or its designee, specifying the number of SARs to be exercised and the date on which such SARs were awarded. 
 (e) Expiration. Except as otherwise provided in the case of SARs granted in connection with Options, a SAR shall expire on a date designated by the Committee which is not later than ten years after the Date of
Grant of the SAR. 
 9. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units 
 (a) Award of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. 
 (i) The Committee shall
have the authority (A) to grant Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Persons, (B) to issue or transfer Restricted Stock to Participants, and (C) to establish terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, including the Restricted Period, as applicable, which may differ with respect to each grantee, the time or times at which Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be granted or become vested and
the number of shares or units to be covered by each grant. 
 (ii) Each Participant granted Restricted Stock shall execute and
deliver to the Company an Award agreement with respect to the Restricted Stock setting forth the restrictions and other terms and conditions 

 
applicable to such Restricted Stock. If the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than delivered to
the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (A) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and
(B) the appropriate blank stock power with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and stock
power, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 9(b), the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such
Restricted Stock. At the discretion of the Committee, cash dividends and stock dividends with respect to the Restricted Stock may be either currently paid to the Participant or withheld by the Company for the Participant’s account, and interest
may be credited on the amount of dividends withheld at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. The cash dividends or stock dividends so withheld by the Committee and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock
(and earnings thereon, if applicable) shall be distributed to the Participant in cash or, at the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends and earnings, if applicable, upon the
release of restrictions on such share and, if such share is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such cash dividends, stock dividends or earnings. 
 (iii) Upon the grant of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate registered in the name of the Participant to be
issued and, if it so determines, deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent designated by the Committee. If an escrow arrangement is used, the Committee may cause the escrow agent to issue to the Participant a receipt evidencing
any stock certificate held by it, registered in the name of the Participant. 
 (iv) The terms and conditions of a grant of
Restricted Stock Units shall be reflected in a written Award agreement. No shares of Stock shall be issued at the time a Restricted Stock Unit is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of any such Award. At
the discretion of the Committee, each Restricted Stock Unit (representing one share of Stock) may be credited with cash and stock dividends paid by the Company in respect of one share of Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”). At the discretion of
the Committee, Dividend Equivalents may be either currently paid to the Participant or withheld by the Company for the Participant’s account, and interest may be credited on the amount of cash Dividend Equivalents withheld at a rate and subject
to such terms as determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents credited to a Participant’s account and attributable to any particular Restricted Stock Unit (and earnings thereon, if applicable) shall be distributed in cash or, at the
discretion of the Committee, in shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such Dividend Equivalents and earnings, if applicable, to the Participant upon settlement of such Restricted Stock Unit and, if such Restricted Stock
Unit is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such Dividend Equivalents. 
 (b) Restrictions. 
 (i) Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject to the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restricted
Period, and to such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award agreement: (A) if an escrow arrangement is used, the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate; (B) the shares shall be
subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award agreement; (C) the shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in Section 9(d) and the applicable Award agreement; and (D) to the extent such
shares are forfeited, the stock certificates shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a shareholder shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company. 
 (ii) Restricted Stock Units awarded to any Participant shall be subject to (A) forfeiture until the expiration of the Restricted
Period, and satisfaction of any applicable Performance Goals during such period, to the extent provided in the applicable Award agreement, and to the extent such Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, all rights of the Participant to such Restricted
Stock Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company and (B) such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award agreement. 

 (iii) The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on
the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the date of the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are granted, such
action is appropriate. 
 (c) Restricted Period. The Restricted Period of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall commence
on the Date of Grant and shall expire from time to time as to that part of the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units indicated in a schedule established by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement. 
 (d) Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any
shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in Section 9(b) and the applicable Award agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award agreement. If an escrow
arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, the stock certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock which have not then been forfeited and with respect to which
the Restricted Period has expired (to the nearest full share) and any cash dividends or stock dividends credited to the Participant’s account with respect to such Restricted Stock and the interest thereon, if any. 
 Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his
beneficiary, without charge, one share of Stock for each such outstanding Restricted Stock Unit (“Vested Unit”) and cash equal to any Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to each such Vested Unit in accordance with
Section 9(a)(iv) hereof and the interest thereon or, at the discretion of the Committee, in shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such Dividend Equivalents and interest thereon, if any; provided, however, that,
if explicitly provided in the applicable Award agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to (i) pay cash or part cash and part Stock in lieu of delivering only shares of Stock for Vested Units or (ii) delay the delivery
of Stock (or cash or part Stock and part cash, as the case may be) beyond the expiration of the Restricted Period. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering shares of Stock, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of
the Stock as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to such Vested Unit. 
 (e) Stock Restrictions. Each
certificate representing Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan shall bear a legend substantially in the form of the following until the lapse of all restrictions with respect to such Stock as well as any other information the Company deems
appropriate: 
 Transfer of this certificate and the shares represented hereby is restricted pursuant to the terms of the
Warner Music Group Corp. 2005 Omnibus Award Plan and a Restricted Stock Purchase and Award Agreement, dated as of
                        , between Warner Music Group Corp. and
                                . A copy of such Plan and Agreement is on file at the
offices of Warner Music Group Corp. 
 Stop transfer orders shall be entered with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of
legended securities. 
 10. Stock Bonus Awards 
 The Committee may issue unrestricted Stock, or other Awards denominated in Stock, under the Plan to Eligible Persons, alone or in tandem with other Awards, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall from
time to time in its sole discretion determine. A Stock Bonus Award under the Plan shall be granted as, or in payment of, a bonus, or to provide incentives or recognize special achievements or contributions. 
 11. Performance Compensation Awards 
 (a)
General. The Committee shall have the authority, at the time of grant of any Award described in Sections 7 through 10 (other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted with an exercise price or 

 
grant price, as the case may be, equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the date of grant), to designate such Award as a
Performance Compensation Award in order to qualify such Award as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee shall have the authority to grant cash bonuses under the Plan with the intent that such
bonuses shall qualify for the exemption from Section 162(m) of the Code provided pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(f)(1), for the reliance period described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(f)(2). In addition, the
Committee shall have the authority to make an award of a cash bonus to any Participant and designate such Award as a Performance Compensation Award in order to qualify such Award as “performance-based compensation” under
Section 162(m). 
 (b) Eligibility. The Committee will, in its sole discretion, designate which Participants will be eligible to
receive Performance Compensation Awards in respect of such Performance Period. However, designation of a Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the Participant to receive payment
in respect of any Performance Compensation Award for such Performance Period. The determination as to whether or not such Participant becomes entitled to payment in respect of any Performance Compensation Award shall be decided solely in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 11. Moreover, designation of a Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of such Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder
in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one person as a Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder shall not require designation of any other person as a Participant eligible to receive an Award hereunder in such period or in
any other period. 
 (c) Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance Compensation Awards. With regard to a particular
Performance Period, the Committee shall have full discretion to select the length of such Performance Period (provided any such Performance Period shall be not less than one (1) year in duration), the type(s) of Performance Compensation Awards
to be issued, the Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s), the kind(s) and/or level(s) of the Performance Goals(s) that is(are) to apply to the Company and the Performance Formula. Within the first 90 days of a
Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, with regard to the Performance Compensation Awards to be issued for such Performance Period, exercise its
discretion with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 11(c) and record the same in writing. 
 (d) Payment of Performance Compensation Awards 
 (i) Condition to Receipt of
Payment. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company on the last day of a Performance Period to be eligible for payment in respect of a Performance Compensation Award for such
Performance Period. 
 (ii) Limitation. A Participant shall be eligible to receive payment in respect of a Performance
Compensation Award only to the extent that: (A) the Performance Goals for such period are achieved; and (B) the Performance Formula as applied against such Performance Goals determines that all or some portion of such Participant’s
Performance Award has been earned for the Performance Period. 
 (iii) Certification. Following the completion of a
Performance Period, the Committee shall review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, calculate and certify in writing that amount of the Performance
Compensation Awards earned for the period based upon the Performance Formula. The Committee shall then determine the actual size of each Participant’s Performance Compensation Award for the Performance Period and, in so doing, may apply
Negative Discretion in accordance with Section 11(d)(iv) hereof, if and when it deems appropriate. 
 (iv) Use of
Discretion. In determining the actual size of an individual Performance Award for a Performance Period, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance Compensation Award earned under the Performance Formula in the
Performance Period through the use of Negative Discretion if, in its sole judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. The Committee shall not have the discretion to (a) grant or provide payment in respect of Performance Compensation
Awards for a 

 
Performance Period if the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have not been attained; or (b) increase a Performance Compensation Award above
the maximum amount payable under Section 5(a) or Section 11(d)(vi) of the Plan. 
 (v) Timing of Award
Payments. Performance Compensation Awards granted for a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants as soon as administratively practicable following completion of the certifications required by this Section 11. 
 (vi) Maximum Award Payable. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Plan to the contrary, the maximum Performance
Compensation Award payable to any one Participant under the Plan for a Performance Period is 1,500,000 shares of Stock or, in the event such Performance Compensation Award is paid in cash, the equivalent cash value thereof on the first or last day
of the Performance Period to which such Award relates, as determined by the Committee. The maximum amount that can be paid in any calendar year to any Participant pursuant to a cash bonus Award described in the last sentence of Section 11(a)
shall be $10,000,000. Furthermore, any Performance Compensation Award that has been deferred shall not (between the date as of which the Award is deferred and the payment date) increase (A) with respect to Performance Compensation Award that is
payable in cash, by a measuring factor for each fiscal year greater than a reasonable rate of interest set by the Committee or (B) with respect to a Performance Compensation Award that is payable in shares of Stock, by an amount greater than
the appreciation of a share of Stock from the date such Award is deferred to the payment date. 
 12. General 
 (a) Additional Provisions of an Award. Awards to a Participant under the Plan also may be subject to such other provisions (whether or not
applicable to Awards granted to any other Participant) as the Committee determines appropriate, including, without limitation, provisions (in addition to those provisions of Section 9 providing for the payment of dividends with respect to
Restricted Stock and Dividend Equivalents with respect to Restricted Stock Units) adding dividend equivalent rights or other protections to Participants in respect of dividends paid on Stock underlying any Award, provisions for the forfeiture of or
restrictions on resale or other disposition of shares of Stock acquired under any Award, provisions giving the Company the right to repurchase shares of Stock acquired under any Award in the event the Participant elects to dispose of such shares,
provisions allowing the Participant to elect to defer the receipt of payment in respect of Awards for a specified period or until a specified event, and provisions to comply with Federal and state securities laws and Federal and state tax
withholding requirements; provided, however, that any such deferral does not result in acceleration of taxability of an Award prior to receipt, or tax penalties, under Section 409A of the Code. Any such provisions shall be reflected in the
applicable Award agreement. 
 (b) Privileges of Stock Ownership. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no person
shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of shares of Stock which are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued to that person. 
 (c) Government and Other Regulations. The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in Stock shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as
may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any shares of Stock pursuant to an
Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be
offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities
Act any of the shares of Stock to be offered or sold under the Plan. If the shares of Stock offered for sale or sold under the Plan are offered or sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Company may restrict the
transfer of such shares and may legend the Stock certificates representing such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption. 

 (d) Tax Withholding. 
 (i) A Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is
hereby authorized to withhold from any shares of Stock or other property deliverable under any Award or from any compensation or other amounts owing to a Participant, the amount (in cash, Stock or other property) of any required income tax
withholding and payroll taxes in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the
payment of such withholding and taxes. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability (but no more than the minimum required withholding liability) by (A) the delivery of Mature Shares owned by the Participant
having a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability or (B) having the Company withhold from the number of shares of Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the Award a number of shares with a Fair Market
Value equal to such withholding liability. 
 (e) Claim to Awards and Employment Rights. No employee of the Company or an Affiliate,
or other person, shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be
construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate. 
 (f) Designation
and Change of Beneficiary. Each Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of one or more persons as the beneficiary who shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under the Plan
upon his death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change his beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such designation received by the Committee shall
be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date
prior to such receipt. If no beneficiary designation is filed by a Participant, the beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her spouse or, if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death, his or her estate. 
 (g) Payments to Persons Other Than Participants. If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is
unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such person or his estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee
so directs the Company, be paid to his spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment.
Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor. 
 (h) No Liability of
Committee Members. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument executed by such member or on his behalf in his capacity as a member of the Committee nor for any mistake of judgment made in
good faith, and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other employee, officer or director of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be
allocated or delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such
person’s own fraud or willful bad faith; provided, however, that approval of the Board shall be required for the payment of any amount in settlement of a claim against any such person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall
not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them
or hold them harmless. 
 (i) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the
State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Delaware. 

 (j) Funding. No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying
any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other
evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may
have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees under general law. 
 (k) Nontransferability. 
 (i) Each Award shall be exercisable only by a Participant
during the Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a
Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or an Affiliate; provided
that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Awards other than Incentive Stock Options to be transferred by a Participant, without consideration, subject to such rules as the
Committee may adopt consistent with any applicable Award agreement to preserve the purposes of the Plan, to: 
  

	 	(A)	any person who is a “family member” of the Participant, as such term is used in the instructions to Form S-8 (collectively, the “Immediate Family Members”);

  

	 	(B)	a trust solely for the benefit of the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; 

  

	 	(C)	a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or shareholders are the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; or 

  

	 	(D)	any other transferee as may be approved either (a) by the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion, or (b) as provided in the applicable Award agreement;

 (each transferee described in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted
Transferee”); provided that the Participant gives the Committee advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the Participant in writing that such a transfer would comply
with the requirements of the Plan. 
 (iii) The terms of any Award transferred in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence shall apply to the Permitted Transferee and any reference in the Plan, or in any applicable Award agreement, to a Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except that (A) Permitted Transferees shall not be
entitled to transfer any Award, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (B) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to exercise any transferred Option unless there shall be in effect a registration statement on an
appropriate form covering the shares of Stock to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Option if the Committee determines, consistent with any applicable Award agreement, that such a registration statement is necessary or appropriate;
(C) the Committee or the Company shall not be required to provide any notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or not such notice is or would otherwise have been required to be given to the Participant under the Plan or otherwise; and
(D) the consequences of the termination of the Participant’s employment by, or services to, the Company or an Affiliate under the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award agreement shall continue to be applied with respect to the
Participant, including, without limitation, that an Option shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, specified in the Plan and the applicable Award agreement. 
 (l) Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in acting or failing to act, as the
case may be, and shall not be liable for having so acted or failed to act in good faith, in reliance upon any report made by the independent public accountant of the Company and its 

 
Affiliates and/or any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any person or persons other than himself. 
 (m) Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension,
retirement, profit sharing, group insurance or other benefit plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan. 
 (n) Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and Affiliates. 
 (o) Pronouns.
Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women. 
 (p) Titles and Headings. The titles
and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings shall control. 
 (q) Termination of Employment. Unless an applicable Award agreement provides otherwise, for purposes of the Plan a person who transfers from
employment or service with the Company to employment or service with an Affiliate or vice versa shall not be deemed to have terminated employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate. 
 (r) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction or as to any person or Award, 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 the applicable laws, or if it cannot be
construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such
Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (s) Compliance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the
contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that it in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable in order that such Award (i) complies with the legal
requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject and (ii) does not result in unintended adverse tax consequences to the Company or Participants. 
 (t) 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan or any Award agreements thereunder, no Award shall be granted, deferred,
accelerated, extended, paid out or modified under this Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a Participant. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Committee
that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments in respect of any Award under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the relevant Award agreement, as the case may be, without causing the
Participant holding such Award to be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, the Company will make such payment on the first day that would not result in the Participant incurring any tax liability under Section 409A of the
Code. 
 13. Changes in Capital Structure 
 Awards granted under the Plan and any agreements evidencing such Awards, the maximum number of shares of Stock subject to all Awards stated in Section 5(a) and the maximum number of shares of Stock with respect to which any one person
may be granted Awards during any period stated in Sections 5(d) or 11(d)(vi) shall be subject to adjustment or substitution, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as to the number, price or kind of a share of Stock or
other consideration subject to such Awards or as otherwise determined by the Committee to be equitable (i) in the event of changes in the outstanding Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of stock or extraordinary cash
dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, 

 
recapitalization, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, exchanges, or other relevant changes in capitalization occurring after the Date of
Grant of any such Award or (ii) in the event of any change in applicable laws or any change in circumstances which results in or would result in any substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants,
or which otherwise warrants equitable adjustment because it interferes with the intended operation of the Plan. Any adjustment in Incentive Stock Options under this Section 13 shall be made only to the extent not constituting a
“modification” within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code, and any adjustments under this Section 13 shall be made in a manner which does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the
Exchange Act. Further, with respect to Awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, such adjustments or substitutions shall be made only to the extent that the Committee determines
that such adjustments or substitutions may be made without causing the Company to be denied a tax deduction on account of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice,
such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes. 
 Notwithstanding the above, in the event of any of the following:

 A. The Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation or entity and, in connection therewith, consideration is received by
shareholders of the Company in a form other than stock or other equity interests of the surviving entity; 
 B. All or substantially all of
the assets of the Company are acquired by another person; 
 C. The reorganization or liquidation of the Company; or 
 D. The Company shall enter into a written agreement to undergo an event described in clauses A, B or C above, 
 then the Committee may, in its discretion and upon at least 10 days advance notice to the affected persons, cancel any outstanding Awards and cause the holders thereof
to be paid, in cash or stock, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards based upon the price per share of Stock received or to be received by other shareholders of the Company in the event. The terms of this Section 13 may be varied
by the Committee in any particular Award agreement. 
 14. Effect of Change in Control 
 (a) Except to the extent provided in a particular Award agreement: 
 (i) In the event of a Participant’s termination of employment without Cause or voluntary termination for Good Reason, if applicable,
in either case following a Change in Control, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, all Options and SARs awarded to such Participant shall become exercisable with respect to 100 percent of the shares subject to such Option or
SAR, and the Restricted Period shall expire with respect to 100 percent of such shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units (including a waiver of any applicable Performance Goals). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, upon a
Change in Control and in its sole discretion, make any Options and SARs immediately exercisable, and may cause the Restricted Period to expire with respect to any Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. 
 (ii) In the event of a Change in Control, all incomplete Performance Periods in effect on the date the Change in Control occurs shall end
on the date of such change, and the Committee shall (A) determine the extent to which Performance Goals with respect to each such Award Period have been met based upon such audited or unaudited financial information then available as it deems
relevant, (B) cause to be paid to each Participant partial or full Awards with respect to Performance Goals for each such Award Period based upon the Committee’s determination of the degree of attainment of Performance Goals which Awards
may be adjusted, at the discretion of the Committee, to reflect the portion of the Award Period occurring before such Change in Control, and (C) cause all previously deferred Awards to be settled in full as soon as possible, provided, however,
that any such payment does not result in acceleration of taxability of an Award prior to receipt, or tax penalties, under Section 409A of the Code. 

 (b) In addition, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may in its discretion and upon at
least 10 days’ advance notice to the affected persons, cancel any outstanding Awards and pay to the holders thereof, in cash or stock, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards based upon the price per share of Stock received or to
be received by other shareholders of the Company in the event. 
 (c) The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon
any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company.
The Company agrees that it will make appropriate provisions for the preservation of Participants’ rights under the Plan in any agreement or plan which it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger, consolidation, reorganization or
transfer of assets. 
 15. Nonexclusivity of the Plan 
 Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such
other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases. 
 16. Amendments and Termination 
 (a) Amendment and
Termination of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made
without shareholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan (including as necessary to comply with any applicable stock exchange listing requirement or to prevent the Company
from being denied a tax deduction on account of Section 162(m) of the Code); and provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially impair the rights of any
Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary. The expiration date of the Plan is the tenth anniversary of the
Effective Date, as described in Section 3 of the Plan. 
 (b) Amendment of Award Agreements. The Committee may, to the extent
consistent with the terms of any applicable Award agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the associated Award agreement,
prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially impair the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award
theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary; and provided, further, that, without stockholder approval, (i) no amendment or modification may
reduce the Option Price of any Option or the Strike Price of any SAR, (ii) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding Option or SAR and replace it with a new Option or SAR (with a lower Option Price or Strike Price, as the case may be) in a
manner which would either (A) be reportable on the Company’s proxy statement as Options which have been “repriced” (as such term is used in Item 402 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act), or (B) result
in any “repricing” for financial statement reporting purposes and (iii) the Committee may not take any other action which is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the shareholder approval rules of any applicable stock
exchange. 
 (c) Section 162(m) Approval 
 If so determined by the Committee, (i) the Plan shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company no later than the first meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected that occurs after the close of the third calendar
year following the calendar year in which the Company’s initial public offering occurs, and (ii) the provisions of the Plan regarding Performance Compensation Awards shall be disclosed and reapproved by stockholders of the Company no later
than the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the 

 
year that stockholders previously approved such provisions following the Company’s initial public offering, in each case in order for certain Awards
granted after such time to be exempt from the deduction limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code. Nothing in this Section 16(c), however, shall affect the validity of Awards granted after such time if such stockholder approval has not
been obtained.Employment Agreement Amendment dated May 4, 2007

 Please refer to the employment agreement between Warner Music Inc. (“Company”) and you dated December 15, 1998, as amended by letter (the “2003 Amendment”) dated May 13, 2003 (as so amended, the

 2. Paragraph 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to
provide that you shall render services to Company as Interim Chairman & CEO of Warner/Chappell Music Inc. 
 3. Paragraph 2 of the

consider granting to you an annual bonus (or a pro rata portion of such annual bonus for a portion of such fiscal year). The amount of each annual bonus shall be determined by Company at its discretion; provided, that, your target bonus for each
year of the 

 
Term shall be $800,000 (or a pro rata portion of such amount for a portion of a year), based on the strength of your performance and on the performance of
Company.” 
 6. Paragraph 7 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Chairman & CEO of Company shall agree. You shall render services at the offices designated by Company at such locations. You also agree to travel on temporary trips to such other place or places as may be required from time to time to
perform your duties hereunder.” 
 7. Paragraph 13 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: 
 “13. Termination by You for Good Reason; Consequences of Breach by Company or Non-renewal:

 (ii) You may exercise your right to
terminate the Term of this Agreement for Good Reason pursuant to this Paragraph 13(a) by notice given to Company in writing specifying the Good Reason for termination within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any such event constituting
Good Reason, otherwise your right to terminate this Agreement by reason of the occurrence of such event shall expire and shall be deemed to have permanently lapsed. Any such termination in compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph 13(b) shall
be effective thirty (30) days after the date of your written notice of termination, except that if Company shall cure such specified cause within such thirty-day period, you shall not be entitled to terminate the term of this Agreement by
reason 

 
of such specified Good Reason and the notice of termination given by you shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever. 
 (b) In the event of a “Special Termination” (as defined below) of your employment, your sole remedy shall be that, upon your execution of a
Release (as defined below) Company shall promptly pay to you the “Special Termination Payments” (as defined below), and in the event of a “Qualifying Non-renewal” (as defined below), your sole remedy shall be that, upon your
execution of a Release, Company shall pay to you the “Non-renewal Payments” (as defined below). Special Termination Payments and Non-renewal Payments are sometimes herein referred to collectively as the “Termination Payments.”

 (c) The “Basic Termination Payments” shall mean any accrued but unpaid salary, awarded but unpaid annual bonuses, accrued
vacation pay in accordance with Company policy, any unreimbursed expenses pursuant to Paragraph 8, plus any accrued but unpaid benefits in accordance with Paragraph 9, in each case to the date on which your employment terminates pursuant to an event
described in subparagraph (e) or (g), below, as applicable (the “Termination Date”). 
 (d) A “Release” shall mean a
release agreement in Company’s standard form, attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
 (e) A “Special Termination” shall have occurred
in the event that (i) Company terminates your employment hereunder other than pursuant to Paragraphs 11 or 12 hereof or (ii) you terminate this Agreement for Good Reason in accordance with Paragraph 13(a). 
 (f) “Special Termination Payments” shall mean (i) the Basic Termination Payments; plus (ii) the greater of (A) the
“Severance Amount” (as defined below) and (B) the sum of (I) $1,500,000, plus (II) an amount equal to $800,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period beginning on the first day
of the fiscal year in which your termination occurs and ending on the date of your termination, and the denominator of which is 365. 
 (g) A
“Qualifying Non-renewal” shall have occurred in the event that, at the end of the Term: (i) Company declines to offer you continued employment with Company or one of its affiliates; or (ii) Company offers you continued employment with
Company or one of its affiliates at salary or target bonus lower than your salary or target bonus as in effect on the last day of the Term, or containing severance provisions less favorable to you than the severance provisions set out in this
paragraph 13, and you elect to decline such offer and terminate your employment with Company. 
 (h) The “Non-renewal Payments”
shall mean (i) the Basic Termination Payments; plus (ii) the greater of (A) the amount of severance pay (the 

 
“Severance Amount”) that would have been payable to you under Company policy as in effect on the Termination Date had you not been subject to an
employment agreement with Company and (B) the sum of (I) $1,500,000 plus (II) an amount equal to $800,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period beginning on the first day of the
fiscal year in which your employment terminates and ending on the date on which your employment terminates, and the denominator of which is 365. 
 (i) Any Termination Payments payable to you under Paragraph 11(f) or (h) above shall be made by Company in accordance with its regular payroll practices by means of continued payments to you (i) of your salary at the same rate as
was in effect as of the Termination Date for the applicable period as is necessary to cause the full amount due under such clause to be paid, or (ii) of salary for such other period as Company determines is necessary to prevent such amount from
being deemed “deferred compensation” under applicable tax law; provided that in the event that the Payment Period is so modified, your rate of pay during such period shall be modified accordingly in order to cause the payment in full of
the amounts required to be paid to you pursuant to this Paragraph 13 (the “Payment Period”). During the Payment Period, Company shall continue to provide you with coverage under Company’s medical plans in accordance with the terms of
such plans, and you shall be entitled to no other benefits during such period. 
 (j) In the event you elect not to execute and deliver a
Release in connection with a Special Termination or a Qualifying Non-renewal, Company shall only be obligated to pay to you the Basic Termination Payments. Following the delivery of an executed Release pursuant to this Paragraph 13, you shall have
no duty to seek substitute employment, and Company shall have no right of offset against any amounts paid to you under this Paragraph 13 with respect to any compensation or fees thereafter received by you from any employment thereafter obtained or
consultancy arrangement thereafter entered into by you.” 
 8. Paragraph 18(g) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as follows: 
 (g) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of New York as applicable to
agreements executed in and to be wholly performed within such State. 

 Except as expressly amended herein, the terms and provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect. 
 If the foregoing correctly sets forth our understanding, please sign below and return this agreement to Company.
