(a) in the case of any Company Claims/Interests, the transferee is either (1) a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act, (2) a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction as defined under Regulation S under the Securities Act, (3) an institutional accredited investor (as defined in the Rules), or (4) a Consenting Stakeholder;

(c) in the case of any Company Claims/Interests, the intended transferee, the intended transferee’s affiliates, and/or any unaffiliated third-party in which the intended transferee has beneficial ownership,2 or any group of persons acting pursuant to a plan or arrangement as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.355-6(c)(4) (provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 8.01(c), none of the Consenting Stakeholders will be treated as acting pursuant to a plan or arrangement as a result of participating in the Plan and Restructuring Transactions), will not, after giving effect to such Transfer, (A) have beneficial ownership of, in the aggregate, fifty percent (50%) or more of the Term Loan Credit Facility Claims and PGN Claims or (B) have, assuming the Restructuring Transactions were to be consummated immediately upon such Transfer, beneficial ownership of, in the aggregate, fifty percent (50%) or more of the Reorganized iHeart Equity or the equity interests in CCOH; and

(d) in the case of any Equity Interests, such Transfer shall not, in the reasonable determination of iHeart, result in an “ownership change” of iHeart within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

8.02. Upon compliance with the requirements of Section 8.01, the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations) under this Agreement to the extent of the rights and obligations in respect of such transferred Company Claims/Interests. Any Transfer in violation of Section 8.01 shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect without further action by any party or the intended transferee, regardless of any prior notice provided to counsel to the Company Parties. A Consenting Stakeholder that makes a Transfer pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(ii) shall provide notice of such Transfer to the Company Parties as soon as reasonably practicable after such Transfer.

As used herein, the term “beneficial ownership” means the direct or indirect economic ownership of, and/or the power, whether by contract or otherwise, to direct the exercise of the voting rights and the disposition of, the Company Claims/Interests or the right to acquire such Claims or Equity Interests.

8.03.

8.04. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that a Consenting Stakeholder effects the Transfer of all of its Company Claims/Interests in accordance with this Agreement, such Consenting Stakeholder shall cease to be a Party to this Agreement in all respects and shall have no further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if such Consenting Stakeholder acquires a Company Claim/Interest at any point thereafter, it shall be deemed to be a Party to this Agreement on the same terms as if it had not effected a Transfer of all of its Company Claims/Interests.

8.05. This Section 8 shall not impose any obligation on any Company Party to issue any “cleansing letter” or otherwise publicly disclose information for the purpose of enabling a Consenting Stakeholder to Transfer any of its Company Claims/Interests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent a Company Party and another Party have entered into a Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of such Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to apply and remain in full force and effect according to its terms, and this Agreement does not supersede any rights or obligations otherwise arising under such Confidentiality Agreements.

8.06. Notwithstanding Section 8.01, a Qualified Marketmaker that acquires any Company Claims/Interests with the purpose and intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker for such Company Claims/Interests shall not be required to execute and deliver a Transfer Agreement in respect of such Company Claims/Interests if (i) such Qualified Marketmaker subsequently transfers such Company Claims/Interests (by purchase, sale assignment, participation, or otherwise) within ten (10) Business Days of its acquisition to a transferee that is an entity that is not an affiliate, affiliated fund, or affiliated entity with a common investment advisor; (ii) the transferee otherwise is a Permitted Transferee under Section 8.01; and (iii) the transfer otherwise is a permitted transfer under Section 8.01. To the extent that a Consenting Stakeholder is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) any right, title or interests in Company Claims/Interests that the Qualified Marketmaker acquires from a holder of such Company Claims/Interests who is not a Consenting Stakeholder without the requirement that the transferee be a Permitted Transferee.

8.07. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 8 shall not apply to the grant of any liens or encumbrances on any claims and interests in favor of a bank or broker-dealer holding custody of such claims and interests in the ordinary course of business and which lien or encumbrance is released upon the Transfer of such claims and interests.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, termination by the Consenting Sponsors shall constitute termination by any Affiliate of a Consenting Sponsor that holds Term Loan Credit Facility Claims or PGN Claims unless otherwise agreed to by the Consenting Sponsor.

Section 13. Release Support.

13.01. Each Consenting Stakeholder shall (a) support, and shall not directly or indirectly object to or commence, join, or otherwise support any proceeding or action opposing, the releases set forth in the Plan, (b) to the extent it is permitted to elect whether to opt out of the releases set forth in the Plan, elect not to opt out of the releases set forth in the Plan by timely delivering its duly executed and completed ballot(s) indicating such election, and (c) not change, withdraw, amend, or revoke (or cause to be changed, withdrawn, amended, or revoked) any election referred to in the immediately preceding clause (b).

Section 14. Consistent Alternative Proposal. Each Consenting Stakeholder (severally and not jointly) agrees in respect of all of its Company Claims/Interests to support, and to not directly or indirectly object to or commence, join, or otherwise support any proceeding or action opposing, any Consistent Alternative Proposal, to the same extent as with respect to the Restructuring Transactions under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all Parties’ rights, claims, and defenses with respect to whether an Alternative Restructuring Proposal is a Consistent Alternative Proposal are reserved, including any right to challenge total enterprise value, and nothing herein shall be deemed as barring any party from bringing any action to determine whether or not any such Alternative Restructuring Proposal is a Consistent Alternative Proposal.

Section 15. Cooperation.

15.01. During the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company Parties and the Consenting Stakeholders shall use reasonable best efforts to provide counsel to the Parties with advanced drafts of all material motions, applications, and other documents that the Company Parties or the Consenting Stakeholders intend to file with the Bankruptcy Court, as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

Section 16. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or supplemented, and no condition or requirement of this Agreement may be waived, in any manner except in accordance with this Section 16.

(b) This Agreement may be modified, amended, or supplemented, or a condition or requirement of this Agreement may be waived, in a writing signed by: (a) each Company Party and (b) the following Parties, solely with respect to any modification, amendment, waiver or supplement that adversely affects the rights, obligations, or treatment of such Parties and unless otherwise specified in this Agreement: (i) the Required Consenting 2021 Noteholders; (ii) the Required Consenting Senior Creditors, and (iii) the Consenting Sponsors; provided, however, that if the proposed modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement has a material, disproportionate (as compared to other Consenting Stakeholders holding Company Claims/Interests within the same class as provided for in the Restructuring Term Sheet) and adverse effect on any of the Company Claims/Interests held by a Consenting Stakeholder (including, without limitation, any disparate treatment with respect to the releases set forth in Section 13), then the consent of each such affected Consenting Stakeholder shall also be required to effectuate such modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement, and provided further, however, that any proposed modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement that (i) increases the Supplemental Term Loan/2019 PGN Distribution (as defined in the Restructuring Term Sheet) to the class of Term Loan Credit Facility Claims and 2019 PGN Claims shall require the consent of each Consenting Senior Creditor that holds Other PGN Claims; and (ii) decreases the Supplemental Term Loan/2019 PGN Distribution to the class of Term Loan Credit Facility Claims and 2019 PGN Claims shall require the consent of each Consenting Senior Creditor that

holds Term Loan Credit Facility Claims or 2019 PGN Claims. The waiver or amendment of the Outside Date shall require the agreement of each Consenting Stakeholder and the Company Parties, provided that if the Parties have otherwise complied with the terms of the Definitive Documents and all other events and actions necessary for the occurrence of the Restructuring Effective Date have occurred other than the receipt of regulatory or other approval of a governmental unit necessary for the occurrence of the Restructuring Effective Date, the Outside Date may be extended with the consent of the Company Parties and the Required Consenting Creditors.

(c) Any proposed modification, amendment, waiver or supplement that does not comply with this Section 16 shall be ineffective and void ab initio.

(d) The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or any provision of this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or remedy or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.

Section 17. Miscellaneous.

17.01. Acknowledgement. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be an offer with respect to any securities or solicitation of votes for the acceptance of a plan of reorganization for purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Any such offer or solicitation will be made only in compliance with all applicable securities Laws, provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or other applicable Law.

17.02. Exhibits Incorporated by Reference; Conflicts. Each of the exhibits, annexes, signatures pages, and schedules attached hereto is expressly incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement, and all references to this Agreement shall include such exhibits, annexes, and schedules. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement (without reference to the exhibits, annexes, and schedules hereto) and the exhibits, annexes, and schedules hereto, this Agreement (without reference to the exhibits, annexes, and schedules thereto) shall govern.

17.03. Publicity. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Company Parties shall disseminate a press release disclosing the existence of this Agreement and the terms hereof and of the Plan (including any schedules and exhibits thereto that are filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the Petition Date), but without executed signature pages and with such redactions as may be reasonably requested by counsel to any Party to maintain the confidentiality of the Parties. The Company Parties shall submit drafts to counsel to the Consenting Stakeholders of any press releases and public documents that constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement at least three (3) calendar days prior to making any such disclosure and shall afford them a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to comment on such documents and disclosures, final versions of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Consenting Creditors.

17.04. Further Assurances. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Parties agree to execute and deliver such other instruments and perform such acts, in addition to the matters herein specified, as may be reasonably appropriate or necessary, or as may be required by order of the Bankruptcy Court, from time to time, to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions, as applicable.

17.05. Complete Agreement. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings, and agreements, whether oral or written, among the Parties with respect thereto, other than any Confidentiality Agreement.

17.06. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; SELECTION OF FORUM. THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. Each Party hereto agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, to the extent possible, in the Bankruptcy Court, and solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement: (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court; (b) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court; and (c) waives any objection that the Bankruptcy Court is an inconvenient forum or does not have jurisdiction over any Party hereto.

17.07. TRIAL BY JURY WAIVER. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

17.08. Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts and by way of electronic signature and delivery, each such counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each individual executing this Agreement on behalf of a Party has been duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of said Party.

17.09. Rules of Construction. This Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Company Parties and the Consenting Stakeholders, and in the enforcement or interpretation hereof, is to be interpreted in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted this Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation hereof. The Company Parties and the Consenting Stakeholders were each represented by counsel during the negotiations and drafting of this Agreement and continue to be represented by counsel.

17.10. Successors and Assigns; Third Parties. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable.

17.12. Independent Due Diligence and Decision Making. Each Consenting Stakeholder hereby confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement has been based upon its independent investigation of the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions, and prospects of the Company Parties.

17.13. Enforceability of Agreement. Each of the Parties to the extent enforceable waives any right to assert that the exercise of termination rights under this Agreement is subject to the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and expressly stipulates and consents hereunder to the prospective modification of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of exercising termination rights under this Agreement, to the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines that such relief is required.

17.14. Waiver. If the Restructuring Transactions are not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Parties fully reserve any and all of their rights, remedies, claims, and defenses. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms or the payment of damages to which a Party may be entitled under this Agreement.

17.15. Specific Performance. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party, and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) as a remedy of any such breach, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.

17.16. Relationship Among Parties. Except where otherwise specified, the agreements, representations, warranties, and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint. No Party shall, as a result of its entering into and performing its obligations under this Agreement, be deemed to be part of a “group” (as that term is used in section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) with any of the other Parties. It is understood and agreed that no Consenting Stakeholder has any duty of trust or confidence in any kind or form with any other Consenting Stakeholder, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, there are no commitments among or between them. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Consenting Stakeholder may trade in the Company Claims/Interests without the consent of the Company Parties, any other Consenting Stakeholder, subject to applicable securities laws, the terms of this Agreement, and the terms of the Term Loan Credit Facility, PGNs, or 2021 Notes, as applicable; provided, however, that no Consenting Stakeholder shall have any responsibility for any such trading to any other entity by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Consenting Stakeholders shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement.

17.17. Severability and Construction. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect if essential terms and conditions of this Agreement for each Party remain valid, binding, and enforceable.

17.18. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at Law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party.

17.19. Survival. Notwithstanding (a) any Transfer of any Company Claims/Interests in accordance with Section 8 or (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the agreements and obligations of the Parties in Section 17 and the Confidentiality Agreements shall survive such Transfer and/or termination and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

17.20. Capacities of Consenting Stakeholders. Each Consenting Stakeholder has entered into this agreement on account of all Company Claims/Interests that it holds (directly or through discretionary accounts that it manages or advises) and, except where otherwise specified in this Agreement, shall take or refrain from taking all actions that it is obligated to take or refrain from taking under this Agreement with respect to all such Company Claims/Interests.

17.21. Consents and Acceptances. Where a written consent, acceptance, or approval is required pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement, pursuant to Section 3.02, Section 16, or otherwise, including a written approval by the Company Parties, the Required Consenting Creditors, or the Consenting Sponsors, such written consent, acceptance, or approval shall be deemed to have occurred if, by agreement between counsel to the Parties submitting and receiving such consent, acceptance, or approval, it is conveyed in writing (including electronic mail) between each such counsel without representations or warranties of any kind on behalf of such counsel.

17.22. Accession. After the date hereof, additional holders of Term Loan Credit Facility Claims, PGN Claims, 2021 Note Claims, and Equity Interests may become Consenting Stakeholders by agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and delivering such signature page in accordance with Section 17.11 of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Agreement on the day and year first above written.
