Dear Mr. Moonves:	May 19, 2017

CBS Corporation (“Employer” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), having an address at 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, agrees to continue to employ you and you agree to accept such continued employment upon the following terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (this “Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement supersedes your existing employment agreement between Employer and you dated December 11, 2014, as amended on February 24, 2016 and February 26, 2016 (together, the “Prior Agreement”).

1. Term. The term of your employment hereunder shall commence on May 19, 2017 (the “Start Date”) and shall end on the earliest of (i) June 30, 2021, (ii) the date on which your employment is terminated by Employer or you pursuant to paragraph 10 or (iii) the date of your death or the date of termination of your employment by reason of incapacity (determined in accordance with paragraph 9) (the “Employment Term”). The period from the Start Date until June 30, 2021, regardless of any earlier termination, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Original Employment Term.”

2. Titles and Authority.

(a) Officer Positions and Reporting Lines. During the Employment Term, you will have the title of Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Employer and will have the powers, responsibilities, duties and authority customary for the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officers of corporations of the size, type and nature of the Company, including, without limitation, those powers, responsibilities, duties and authority you had immediately prior to the Start Date and those subsequently acquired. During the Employment Term, you will report solely and directly to the Board of Directors of Employer (the “Board”). During the Employment Term, you shall be the highest ranking executive of the Company (i.e., there shall be no executive of equal or higher ranking). During the Employment Term, your duties shall include all of your duties as of the Start Date and those subsequently acquired, including the public positioning of the Company, and you shall have the sole authority to cause any Company business unit or operating division head, any executive officer of the Company and/or any other employee of the Company, to report directly to you or another executive officer of Employer, subject to any applicable employment agreement now existing with such head or executive officer which requires them to report directly to you or to your titled position. For the sake of clarity and avoidance of doubt,

your powers, responsibilities, duties and authority existing immediately prior to the Start Date shall extend to cover and include those powers, responsibilities, duties and authority necessary for your continued management of the Company each day during the Original Employment Term in a manner that is completely consistent with the operational and administrative protocols that you historically have enjoyed during your tenure as Chairman of the Board, which ability the parties mutually acknowledge and agree has been instrumental in your demonstrated capability to consistently focus on the strategic execution of the Company’s initiatives and successfully lead the Company.

(b) Service on the Board and with Subsidiaries. You currently serve as the Chairman of the Board. During the Employment Term, the Board will nominate you for reelection to the Board in the Chairman role at the expiration of each term of office, and you agree to serve as a member of the Board and in the Chairman role for each period for which you are so elected. You shall, subject to your election as such from time to time and subject to your approval, and without additional compensation, serve during the Employment Term in such additional offices of comparable or greater stature and responsibility in the subsidiaries of Employer and as a member of any committee of the Board or of the board of directors of any of Employer’s subsidiaries, to which you may be elected, as approved by you, from time to time.

(c) Full-Time Services and Other Activities. During the Employment Term, you agree to devote your entire business time, attention and energies to the business of the Company, except for vacations, illness or incapacity. However, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude you from serving as a member of the board of directors of any charitable, educational, religious, entertainment industry trade, public interest or public service organization, in each instance not inconsistent with the business practices and policies of the Company, or from devoting reasonable periods of time to the activities of the aforementioned organizations or from managing your personal investments, provided that such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of your duties and responsibilities hereunder. Except for your service on (i) the Board, (ii) the board of directors of Employer subsidiaries, (iii) the board of directors or similar governing body of your family foundation and of any other entity all of the beneficial interests of which are owned by you and/or members of your family or (iv) the board of directors of an organization as permitted by the immediately preceding sentence, you shall not serve on the board of directors or similar governing body of any business company or other business entity, excluding those on which you were already elected to serve as of the Start Date, without the prior consent of the Nominating and Governance Committee of Employer (or any successor to such committee).

(d) Location. During the Employment Term, consistent with current and past practice, you shall render your services under this Agreement from Employer’s executive offices in either the New York metropolitan area or the Los Angeles metropolitan area, except for services rendered during business trips as may be reasonably necessary. You shall not be required to relocate outside of either the New York metropolitan area or the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

3. Cash Compensation.

(a) Salary. During the Employment Term, Employer shall pay you a base salary at the annual rate of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) per annum. The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) will review your salary at least annually and may increase (but not decrease, including from a level to which it was increased following the Start Date) the base salary. The result of any such annual review shall be reported to you by the Compensation Committee promptly after it occurs. The amount of annual base salary actually paid to you will be reduced to the extent you elect to defer such salary under the terms of any deferred compensation or savings plan or arrangement maintained or established by Employer. Your annual base salary payable hereunder, without reduction for any amounts deferred as described in the preceding sentence, is referred to herein as the “Salary.” Employer shall pay the portion of the Salary not deferred at your election in accordance with its generally applicable payroll practices for senior executives of Employer, but not less frequently than in equal monthly installments.

Your Deferred Compensation, as defined in your prior employment agreement with the Employer dated July 1, 2004, shall continue to periodically be credited (or debited) with deemed positive (or negative) return calculated in the same manner, and at the same times, as the deemed return on your account under Employer’s Excess 401(k) Plan for Designated Senior Executives (as such plan may be amended from time to time, the “Excess 401(k) Plan”) is determined (it being understood and agreed that, if at any time during which the Deferred Compensation remains payable, your account balance in the Excess 401(k) Plan is distributed in full to you, your Deferred Compensation account shall continue to be credited or debited with a deemed return based on the investment portfolio in which your Excess 401(k) Plan account was notionally invested immediately prior to its distribution). Deferred Compensation shall be paid to you in a lump sum within 30 days following the end of the Employment Term. Employer’s obligation to pay the Deferred Compensation (including the return thereon provided for in this paragraph) shall be an unfunded obligation to be satisfied from the general funds of Employer.

(b) Annual Bonus Compensation. In addition to your Salary, during the Employment Term you shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus for each whole or partial calendar year during the Employment Term, determined and payable as follows (the “Bonus”):

(i)

Your target bonus for each calendar year during the Employment Term shall be $20,000,000 (not including any “Creative Bonus” (as defined herein) that may be determined and paid to you as described in paragraph 3(b)(iv) below), provided that the Compensation Committee will review your target bonus at least annually and may increase (but not decrease, including from a level to which it was increased following the Start Date) the target bonus. The result of any such annual review shall be reported to you by the Compensation Committee promptly after it occurs.

Your target bonus, as it may be so increased from time to time, is referred to herein as the “Target Bonus.” As the actual amount payable to you as Bonus will be dependent, among other things, upon the achievement of the performance goal(s) referred to in paragraph 3(b)(ii), your actual Bonus may be less than, greater than or equal to the Target Bonus.

(ii)

A portion of your Bonus (the “Company-Wide Performance Bonus Portion”) for each calendar year during the Employment Term, beginning with 2017, will be based upon achievement of the target goal established in good faith by the Compensation Committee (the “Company-Wide Performance Goal(s)”) with regard to the financial based portion of Employer’s Short-Term Incentive Program for such calendar year (the “Short-Term Incentive Program”); provided, however, that you acknowledge that the Company-Wide Performance Goals applicable to your Bonus for calendar year 2017 have already been established in a manner that complies with this Agreement and, for the partial calendar year in 2021, the applicable performance goal(s) shall be adjusted to reflect budgeted Company performance for the shortened performance period and the performance period shall end coincident with the end of the Original Employment Term. The Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) shall satisfy the following requirements (the “Incentive Goal Parameters”):


(a)	The Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) shall be no more difficult than the performance goal(s) established for the purpose of determining the amount of any actual bonus payable to any other executive of Employer who participates in the Short-Term Incentive Program and who has Company-wide responsibilities;


(b)	The Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) will be challenging, but reasonably achievable; and

(c)

For each calendar year, the level of difficulty in achieving the Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) for that calendar year will not be significantly more difficult (as determined at the time such Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) are established, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances, including the Company’s relative financial and stock performance, general market conditions and market conditions affecting diversified media and entertainment companies) than was the level of difficulty of achieving the Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) applicable to the immediately preceding calendar year. For avoidance of doubt, the fact that the target with respect to

Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) increases from one year to the following year shall not be presumed, in and of itself, to mean that such Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) for the calendar year are significantly more difficult to attain than the Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) for the immediately preceding calendar year.

You shall have meaningful input with the Compensation Committee prior to the determination of the Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) for each calendar year, but the Compensation Committee will have final power and authority concerning the establishment of such goal(s).


(iii)	With respect to the Company-Wide Performance Bonus Portion:


•	If the Company achieves less than 80% of the Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) for the calendar year (or portion thereof), you shall not have a right to payment of any Bonus with respect to the Company-Wide Performance Bonus Portion;


•	If the Company achieves 80% of the Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) for the calendar year (or portion thereof), the Company-Wide Performance Bonus Portion shall be an amount in U.S. Dollars of no less than seventy five percent (75%) of the Target Bonus;


•	If the Company achieves 100% of the Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) for the calendar year (or portion thereof), the Company-Wide Performance Bonus Portion shall be an amount in U.S. Dollars of no less than the Target Bonus;


•	If the Company achieves 108% or more of the Company-Wide Performance Goal(s) for the calendar year (or portion thereof), the Company-Wide Performance Bonus Portion shall be an amount in U.S. Dollars of no less than 133.33% of the Target Bonus; and


•	For achievement at an intermediate point between 80% and 100%, or between 100% and 108% (each such percentage, an “Achievement Percentage”), the Company-Wide Performance Bonus Portion will be interpolated on a straight-line basis between the respective percentages of the Target Bonus to be delivered at such Achievement Percentages (each, a “Payout Percentage”).

The parties acknowledge and agree that, beginning with the 2018 calendar year, the Achievement Percentages and Payout Percentages in the schedule above shall be modified to reflect the funding design for Employer’s Short-Term Incentive Program approved by the Compensation Committee for each such calendar year.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Compensation Committee shall not be precluded from authorizing the payment to you of a Bonus which exceeds the Company-Wide Performance Bonus Portion determined under the above schedule.

(iv)

In addition to the Company-Wide Performance Bonus Portion, the remainder of your Bonus (i.e., the qualitative portion of your Bonus) shall be determined in the reasonable discretion of the Compensation Committee taking into account all relevant factors, including individual and other performance goals. Additionally, with respect to each of the 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 calendar years, the Compensation Committee shall consider special recognition of your leadership and direction in the creation of premium content across Employer’s portfolio of businesses, and in good faith consider awarding an annual “Creative Bonus” in its reasonable discretion and consistent with past practice with respect to the deliberations regarding, but not the amount of, your Creative Bonus. The Chair of the Compensation Committee shall communicate to you the Compensation Committee’s rationale with respect to the Creative Bonus it determines to award to you for any calendar year (or if no Creative Bonus is awarded to you, the Compensation Committee’s rationale for deciding not to award you a Creative Bonus) promptly following its decision.


(v)	Your Bonus for the 2017 calendar year shall not be subject to any proration notwithstanding the Start Date of this Agreement. For the partial year 2021, your annual Target Bonus shall be prorated to reflect the shorter performance period.

(vi)

Subject to any deferral election, your Bonus (including any portion which exceeds the amount determined to be the Company-Wide Performance Bonus Portion) for each calendar year shall be paid in cash, shares of CBS Corporation Class B Common Stock (“Class B Common Stock”) or a combination of cash and Class B Common Stock during the period January 1^st through February 28^th of the following calendar year (provided that any Bonus for the partial year 2021 shall be payable during the period July 1^st through September 30^th of such year), and in accordance with the terms of Employer’s Senior Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (together with any

successor plan, the “Senior Executive STIP”) (provided that if the Compensation Committee determines in its discretion to pay you a Bonus that exceeds the maximum amount payable under the Senior Executive STIP for any calendar year, such excess amount shall also be paid in cash, Class B Common Stock or a combination of cash and Class B Common Stock at the same time as the rest of your Bonus is paid). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that you will receive the Bonus that is determined by the Compensation Committee for you for each calendar year (or, in the case of the partial year 2021, such shorter performance period) completed while you are employed, even if you are not employed on the date bonuses are paid for such performance period.


(vii)	In the event that the current Senior Executive STIP is amended or terminated, you will be given an opportunity under the amended or successor plan to earn bonus compensation equivalent to the amount that you could have earned under this paragraph 3(b), but subject to the same limitations, and any such bonus and/or bonus plan shall not modify the Incentive Goal Parameters.

4. Long Term Compensation. In addition to your Salary and Bonus, you shall receive the following grants of long-term compensation under the CBS Corporation 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, together with any successor plan, the “LTIP”):

(a) Stock Options. During each of the calendar years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Compensation Committee will in good faith consider granting to you stock options to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock under the LTIP as and when other senior members of the Company’s management team reporting to you are considered for annual equity grants by the Compensation Committee, and consistent with past practice with respect to the deliberations regarding, but not the amount of, your discretionary stock option grants (any such discretionary option grant, a “Discretionary Option Grant”); provided, however, that such consideration by the Compensation Committee does not guarantee (and should not be construed as a guarantee) that you will receive a Discretionary Option Grant in any such calendar year. The amount of any such grant(s) will be determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole and reasonable discretion. The Compensation Committee, when considering whether it believes any such Discretionary Option Grant may be appropriate, will take into account the Employer’s financial and stock performance relative to its diversified media and entertainment peer companies, and, in particular whether the Company’s financial and stock performance is due, at least in part, to operating factors that have generally affected companies in the industry in a similar fashion. Any Discretionary Option Grant shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement evidencing such grant, which, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be no less favorable to you than the terms and conditions generally applicable to other senior executives of Employer, provided that any such Discretionary Option Grant will provide for vesting in full not later than June 30, 2021 (provided you remain employed on such date), and subject to acceleration and all other

applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Chair of the Compensation Committee will communicate to you the Compensation Committee’s rationale with respect to the Discretionary Option Grant for each calendar year (or if no Discretionary Option Grant is made for any calendar year, the Compensation Committee’s rationale for deciding not to make such a grant) promptly following its decision.

(b) Restricted Stock Units. During the Employment Term, you shall receive awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as follows:

(i)

On the same date that Employer makes annual management grants under the LTIP to its other senior executives in each of calendar years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, but in no event later than February 28^th of each such calendar year (each, an “RSU Grant Date”), you shall automatically receive an award of RSUs (the “Annual RSUs”) under the LTIP. One-half of the Annual RSUs underlying each grant shall be subject to performance- and time-based vesting conditions (“Annual PRSUs”), and the other half shall be subject only to time-based vesting conditions (the “Annual TRSUs”), in each case determined as of the RSU Grant Date. The initial grant of Annual RSUs in 2018 shall have a grant date value equal to Seventeen Million Dollars ($17,000,000), and each Annual RSU grant thereafter shall have a grant date value equal to Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($18,500,000), except that the grant of Annual RSUs for 2021 shall have a grant date value equal to 50% of the RSU Grant Date Value determined under such formula (each, an “RSU Grant Date Value”). The number of Annual RSUs granted on any RSU Grant Date (rounded down to a whole unit for any fractional unit) shall be determined by dividing the RSU Grant Date Value by the closing price of one share of Class B Common Stock on the RSU Grant Date. Each Annual RSU shall correspond to one share of Class B Common Stock. Annual RSUs (both Annual PRSUs and Annual TRSUs) shall be payable in shares of Class B Common Stock.

The number of Annual PRSUs granted on each RSU Grant Date shall be referred to herein as the “Target PRSU Award.”


(a)	Annual TRSUs granted pursuant to this paragraph 4(b)(i) shall vest in three (3) equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the applicable RSU Grant Date (or, if earlier, on June 30, 2021); provided that you are employed on each such vesting date and subject to acceleration and all other applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(b)

The Compensation Committee shall establish a performance goal with respect to each grant of Annual PRSUs made pursuant to this paragraph 4(b)(i) that shall apply in respect of a performance period that shall end no later than December 31st of the calendar year during which the grant is made (a “PRSU Performance Goal”); provided that for the partial year 2021, the performance period shall end not later than June 30, 2021.


(c)	The PRSU Performance Goal(s) shall satisfy the following requirements (the “PRSU Goal Parameters”):

•

The PRSU Performance Goal established by the Compensation Committee for each grant of Annual PRSUs shall be based upon achievement of one or more Company-wide performance goals established in good faith by the Compensation Committee for each relevant calendar year, and shall be the same performance goal applicable to PRSUs granted to other senior executives of Employer who participate in the Senior Executive STIP for such year; provided that such goal shall be adjusted for any performance period that is less than a full calendar year to reflect budgeted Company performance for the shortened performance period;


•	The PRSU Performance Goal(s) will be challenging, but reasonably achievable; and

•

For each calendar year, the level of difficulty in achieving the PRSU Performance Goal(s) for that calendar year will not be significantly more difficult (as determined at the time such PRSU Performance Goal(s) are established, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances, including the Company’s relative financial and stock performance, general market conditions and market conditions affecting diversified media and entertainment companies) than was the level of difficulty of achieving the PRSU Performance Goal(s) applicable to the immediately preceding calendar year. For avoidance of doubt, the fact that target level performance with respect to PRSU Performance Goal(s) increases from one year to the following year shall not be presumed, in and of itself, to mean that such PRSU Performance Goal(s) for the calendar year are significantly more difficult to attain

than the PRSU Performance Goal(s) for the immediately preceding calendar year.


•	You shall have meaningful input with the Compensation Committee prior to the determination of the PRSU Performance Goal(s) for each calendar year, but the Compensation Committee will have final power and authority concerning the establishment of such goal(s).

(d)

As of the last day of each performance period, the Company’s actual performance shall be measured against the applicable PRSU Performance Goal established for such performance period, after taking into account any permissible adjustments to such goal, and the degree of achievement (expressed as a percentage) will be used to calculate the number of shares that you will receive, in accordance with the following schedule:


•	If the Company achieves less than 80% of the applicable PRSU Performance Goal for the performance period, the Target PRSU Award will be forfeited;


•	If the Company achieves 80% of the applicable PRSU Performance Goal for the performance period, the number of shares to be delivered under the award will be 80% of the Target PRSU Award;


•	If the Company achieves 100% of the applicable PRSU Performance Goal for the performance period, the number of shares to be delivered under the award will be 100% of the Target PRSU Award; and


•	If the Company achieves 120% or more of the applicable PRSU Performance Goal for the performance period, the number of shares to be delivered under the award will be 120% of the Target PRSU Award.

For achievement at an intermediate point between 80% and 100%, and between 100% and 120%, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be delivered will be interpolated on a straight-line basis between the respective numbers of shares to be delivered at such percentages.

Fractional shares will be aggregated and rounded to the next higher whole share.

(e)

The number of PRSUs, determined pursuant to clause (d) above, shall vest on the later of (x) the first anniversary of the RSU Grant Date (or, in the case of the 2021 grant of PRSUs, on June 30, 2021), or (y) the date the Compensation Committee certifies that at least minimum threshold performance has been achieved for the relevant performance period, which certification shall take place no later than seventy-four (74) days following the end of the relevant performance period (or no later than August 15, 2021 in the case of the 2021 grant of PRSUs) (the “PRSU Vest Date”), provided that you are employed on the applicable PRSU Vest Date (other than with respect to a certification by the Compensation Committee of the 2021 grant of PRSUs, in which case you are not required to be employed after June 30, 2021) and subject to acceleration and all other applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(f)

The Annual RSUs shall also accrue dividend equivalents in accordance with the LTIP, provided that in the case of Annual PRSUs, dividend equivalents shall be accrued and paid only with respect to the Target PRSU Award, unless actual performance results in payment of a lesser number of shares of Class B Common Stock than under the Target PRSU Award, in which case dividend equivalents shall be paid only with respect to such lesser number. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph 4(b)(i) or as otherwise provided herein, the Annual RSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement evidencing the grant of such Annual RSUs.

(ii)

You will have an option to defer the settlement of any Annual RSU awards by making an irrevocable election on or before December 31^st of the prior calendar year (by way of example, any election to defer the Annual RSUs to be granted in 2018 must be made no later than December 31, 2017). You may elect to defer the settlement of such RSUs as follows: for up to ten (10) years after the RSUs vest for in-service distributions, and for up to three (3) years after your Separation from Service (as defined in paragraph 10) with the Company for post-termination distributions. If a timely election to defer is not made for any RSUs, shares delivered in settlement of TRSUs shall be delivered within ten (10) business days following the applicable vesting date, and shares delivered in settlement of PRSUs shall be delivered on or promptly following the PRSU Vest Date and during the period January 1^st through

March 15^th of the calendar year after the calendar year in which they are granted (or, for the 2021 grant of PRSUs, within 60 days after June 30, 2021). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A (as defined in paragraph 10(d)(iii)), the settlement of each deferred RSU will be deferred to the date determined in accordance with paragraph 10(d)(v) if such date is later than the date on which settlement would otherwise occur.

(i) You shall be eligible to receive a grant of shares of Class B Common Stock based on the stock price performance of Employer’s Class B Common Stock over the period beginning January 1, 2015 and ending on June 30, 2019 (or earlier in certain instances as provided for in Schedule A to this Agreement), and subject to the Company’s degree of achievement against the PRSU Performance Goals for calendar years 2016, 2017 and 2018 (the “2015 Performance Award”). The number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be granted to you and the timing of such grant shall be determined pursuant to the schedule set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

(ii) You shall be eligible to receive a grant of shares of Class B Common Stock based on the stock price performance of Employer’s Class B Common Stock over the period beginning February 18, 2016 and ending on June 30, 2019 (or earlier in certain instances as provided for in Schedule B to this Agreement), and subject to the Company’s degree of achievement against the PRSU Performance Goals for calendar years 2017 and 2018 (the “2016 Performance Award”). The number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be granted to you and the timing of such grant shall be determined pursuant to the schedule set forth on Schedule B to this Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

(iii) You shall be eligible to receive a grant of shares of Class B Common Stock based on the stock price performance of Employer’s Class B Common Stock over the period beginning on the date this Agreement is executed by both parties hereto and ending on June 30, 2021 (or earlier in certain instances as provided for in Schedule C to this Agreement), and subject to the Company’s degree of achievement against the PRSU Performance Goals for calendar years 2019 and 2020 (the “2017 Performance Award,” and together with the 2015 Performance Award and the 2016 Performance Award, the “Performance Awards”). The number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be granted to you and the timing of such grant shall be determined pursuant to the schedule set forth on Schedule C to this Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, each reference to “any other type of equity awards” in paragraphs 4(f), 9, 10, 11 and 12 is not intended to be a reference to the Performance Awards, the treatment of which in a “Going Private

Transaction” (as defined below) or upon your incapacity, termination or death, as applicable, is separately addressed in Schedules A, B and C attached to this Agreement.

(d) Cash Performance Award. Subject to your continuous employment with Employer through June 30, 2021 (or earlier in certain instances as provided for in Schedule D to this Agreement), and during the periods specified herein, if the Company achieves at least the threshold level of cumulative adjusted operating income (“COI”) for the relevant performance period as provided for in Schedule D to this Agreement, you shall be eligible to receive a lump sum cash payment (the “Cash Performance Award”). The amount of the Cash Performance Award to be awarded to you and the timing of such award shall be determined pursuant to the schedule set forth on Schedule D to this Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

(e) In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph 4 and the terms and conditions set forth in an agreement(s) or plan(s) evidencing the grant of the awards contemplated by paragraphs 4(a) and (b) (and 4(c) and (d), if applicable), the terms of this Agreement shall control. For avoidance of doubt, any outstanding equity awards that were granted to you prior to the Start Date will continue to vest in accordance with their established vesting schedules (including as provided in the Prior Agreement), subject to acceleration and all other applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(f) If, during the Original Employment Term, there occurs a “Going Private Transaction” (as defined below), then immediately prior to the consummation of such Going Private Transaction, (i) all of your then outstanding unvested stock options will vest, and all such options and all of your outstanding stock options that have previously vested will remain exercisable for the period provided in accordance with the provisions of grant, but not beyond their normal expiration date; provided, however, that you shall be permitted to exercise all outstanding stock options (including those which vest pursuant to this clause (i)) contingent upon and immediately prior to consummation of the Going Private Transaction so that you are afforded the same treatment as other holders of Class B Common Stock; and (ii) all of your then unvested and outstanding restricted stock and/or restricted stock units and any other type of equity awards that are then unvested and outstanding shall vest (with an assumption that the performance goal(s) were achieved at target level, if and to the extent applicable) and, subject to any prior deferral election, be settled within ten (10) business days after such date; provided, however, that with respect to such restricted stock, restricted stock units and any other type of equity awards, you will be afforded the same treatment as other holders of Class B Common Stock with respect to participation in the specific Going Private Transaction; provided, further, that in the case of clause (ii) above, settlement of such restricted stock, restricted stock units and any other type of equity awards shall be subject to paragraph 10(d)(v), as applicable.

Additionally, you will receive (x) grants of shares of Class B Common Stock earned as the Performance Awards (if any) pursuant to (and at the time provided in) Schedules A, B and C, and (y) payment of the Cash Performance Award (if any)

pursuant to (and at the time provided in) Schedule D, in each case subject to paragraphs 10(d)(iv), 10(d)(v) and 10(e), as applicable.

For purposes of this Agreement (including Schedules A, B, C and D attached hereto), the term “Going Private Transaction” means any transaction or event which results in Employer ceasing to be a “Publicly Traded Company” (i.e., a company that has a class of equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction; provided, however, that a Going Private Transaction shall not include a reorganization or similar transaction of Employer or any of its subsidiaries if, immediately following such transaction, all or substantially all the beneficial owners of Employer’s stock having general voting power immediately prior to such transaction directly or indirectly own more than fifty percent (50%) of the general voting power of the entity resulting from such transaction (the “Combined Company”) in substantially the same proportions as their beneficial ownership of such Employer stock immediately prior to the transaction (excluding any general voting power of the Combined Company that such beneficial owners directly or indirectly received as a result of their beneficial ownership of the other entity involved in the transaction).

(g) (i) During and after the Employment Term, you shall have the choice to satisfy payment of any exercise price owed in connection with your exercise of stock options or any applicable withholding taxes related to equity-based awards by any one or a combination of the following:


(a)	withholding from your wages or other cash compensation payable to you by Employer (except to the extent any such wages or other cash compensation constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A);


(b)	withholding in shares of Class B Common Stock to be issued upon vesting and settlement of any RSUs;


(c)	withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Class B Common Stock acquired upon exercise of stock options;


(d)	withholding in shares to be issued upon exercise of stock options; and/or


(e)	direct payment to Employer with personal funds.

You agree to pay to Employer any amounts that Employer may be required to withhold or account for that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. Employer may refuse to issue or deliver shares of Class B Common Stock or the proceeds of the sale of such shares if you fail to comply with your obligations as set forth in the preceding sentence.


(ii)	Notwithstanding paragraph 4(g)(i) and to the extent applicable, following a Going Private Transaction, unless you otherwise specifically direct Employer in writing, any stock option exercise will be processed as a “cashless exercise” such that the net proceeds payable to you reflect a deduction for the payment of the aggregate purchase and all applicable tax withholdings.

5. Benefits.

(a) During the Employment Term, you shall be entitled to participate in such life and medical insurance, pension and other employee benefit plans as the Company may have or establish from time to time and in which other Company executives with corporate-wide responsibilities are eligible to participate. The foregoing, however, shall not be construed to require Employer or any of its subsidiaries to establish any such plans or to prevent the modification or termination of such plans once established, and no such action or failure thereof shall affect this Agreement; provided that no such modification or termination shall be applicable to you unless also equally applicable to all other Company executives with corporate-wide responsibilities. All benefits you may be entitled to as an employee of Employer shall be based upon your Salary and not upon any bonus compensation due, payable or paid to you hereunder, except where the benefit plan expressly provides otherwise. You shall be entitled to four (4) weeks paid vacation during each calendar year during the Employment Term.

(b) Employer shall provide you with life insurance during the Employment Term at Employer’s cost, at no less than the same level of coverage that was in effect immediately prior to the Start Date and on terms and conditions under which the life insurance is provided that are no less favorable to you than those in effect immediately prior to the Start Date. You (or your assignee, as applicable) shall designate the beneficiary or beneficiaries of such life insurance and you shall have the right to assign the policy for such life insurance to your spouse and/or issue or to a trust or trusts primarily for the benefit of your spouse or issue.

(c) The limitation on eligible compensation taken into account for purposes of calculating your plan benefit under the CBS Retirement Excess Pension Plan (or any other non-qualified supplemental retirement plan in which you actively participate now or in the future) (each, a “SERP”) shall be deemed to be an amount equal to your Salary; provided, however, that if any such SERP is frozen or reduced as to future benefit accruals after your Start Date, you shall be treated as continuing to accrue benefits as set forth in this paragraph 5(c) under such SERP through the end of the Employment Term.

6. Business Expenses, Perquisites.

(a) During the Employment Term, you shall be reimbursed for such reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in the performance of your duties hereunder on a basis no less favorable than that provided by Employer to its senior executives other than Employer’s Chairman Emeritus, but in any event on a basis

consistent with that provided to you, or agreed to be provided to you, immediately prior to the date of this Agreement.

(b) Employer shall pay all fees and expenses of your counsel and other fees and expenses which you may incur in an effort to establish entitlement to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement in accordance with paragraph 20. During the Employment Term, you shall be entitled to the use of a private plane in accordance with Employer policy on a basis no less favorable than that provided by Employer to any of its senior executives at your level or below (accompanied by your spouse, at your option and, unless your spouse’s presence is required by the Company, at your cost) but in any event no less favorable to you than had previously been provided to you immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. During the Employment Term, you also shall be entitled to other perquisites (i.e., excluding the foregoing benefits), including provision for insurance of a car (the “Perquisites”), in accordance with Employer policy on a basis no less favorable than that provided by Employer to any of its senior executives other than Employer’s Chairman Emeritus.

(c) Given the expected depreciation and the associated cost of removal of the work area constructed and equipment installed in your home pursuant to paragraph 6(d) of that certain Employment Agreement by and between you and Employer, dated February 23, 2010, you shall be entitled to keep any such work area and equipment, as updated from time to time, following the end of the Employment Term.

7. Competitive Assessment. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs 3 through 6, if, in connection with the annual review of your Salary and Target Bonus, it is determined that your annualized target compensation package (consisting of Salary, Target Bonus and target long-term incentives, without regard to any deferrals) is, in the aggregate, less than that of other chief executive officer(s) of comparably-sized diversified media and entertainment companies (to be determined by the Compensation Committee with input from its independent compensation consultant), the Compensation Committee will consider an increase to your annual target compensation package, taking into account the financial and stock performance of Employer relative to other diversified media and entertainment peer companies and, in particular, to the comparably-sized diversified media and entertainment companies that have chief executive officers whose annualized target compensation exceeds yours.

8. Exclusive Employment, Etc.

(a) Non-Competition. You agree that your employment hereunder is on an exclusive basis, and that during the period (the “Non-Compete Period”) beginning on the Start Date and ending on the first anniversary of the end of the Employment Term (provided, however, that if you remain employed and are being paid on Company’s payroll through the end of the Original Employment Term, the Non-Compete Period will end on the last day of the Original Employment Term), other than as permitted by paragraph 2(c), you will not engage in any other business activity which is in conflict with your duties and obligations (including your commitment of time) hereunder. You agree that during the Non-Compete Period you shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in

or participate as an owner, partner, holder or beneficiary of stock, stock options or other equity interest, officer, employee, director, manager, partner or agent of, or consultant for, any company or business competing with the Company; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent you from participating in any investment activities specifically allowed under paragraph 2(c) and from investing as less than a one (1%) percent stockholder in the securities of any company listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system.

(b) No Solicitation of Employees. You agree that during the Employment Term and for the period provided below after the termination of your employment for any reason, you will not employ any Restricted Employee (as defined below), or in any way induce or attempt to induce any Restricted Employee to leave the employment of Employer or any of its affiliates. You agree that you will not take the actions described in the preceding sentence (i) with respect to any Restricted Employee at the level of Vice President or above for one (1) year after the termination of your employment for any reason, and (ii) with respect to any Restricted Employee at the level of director for six (6) months after the termination of your employment for any reason. “Restricted Employee” refers to any person employed by Employer or any of its subsidiaries or their respective predecessors or previously employed by Employer or any of its subsidiaries or their respective predecessors (unless at such time such person has not been employed by Employer and/or any of its subsidiaries or their respective predecessors for at least six (6) months).

(c) Confidential Information. You agree that, during the Employment Term or at any time thereafter, you will not use for your own purposes, or disclose to or for the benefit of any third party, any trade secret, proprietary or non-public information relating to the Company (“Confidential Information”) (except as may be required by law but only after prior notice to Employer (to the extent not prohibited by law) or in the performance of your duties hereunder consistent with the Company’s policies) and you will comply with any and all confidentiality obligations of the Company to a third party which you know or should know about, whether under agreement or otherwise. Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, trade secrets; inventions (whether or not patentable); technology and business processes; business, product or marketing plans; sales and other forecasts; financial information; client lists or other intellectual property; information relating to compensation and benefits; public information that becomes proprietary as a result of Employer’s compilation of that information for use in its business; documents (including any electronic record, videotapes or audiotapes); and oral communications incorporating Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall be deemed not to include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by you in violation of this Agreement or by any other person who directly or indirectly receives such information from you or at your direction in violation of this Agreement, or (ii) is or becomes available to you on a non-confidential basis from a source which is entitled to disclose it to you.

(d) Employer Ownership. The results and proceeds of your services to the Company, whether or not created during the Employment Term, including, without

limitation, any works of authorship resulting from your services and any works in progress resulting from such services, shall be works-made-for-hire and Employer shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all rights of every nature in such works, with the right to use, license or dispose of the works in perpetuity in any manner Employer determines in its sole discretion without any further payment to you, whether such rights and means of use are now known or hereafter defined or discovered. If, for any reason, any of the results and proceeds of your services to the Company are not legally deemed a work-made-for-hire and/or there are any rights in such results and proceeds which do not accrue to Employer under this paragraph 8(d), then you hereby irrevocably assign any and all of your right, title and interest thereto, including, without limitation, any and all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks and/or other rights of every nature in the work, and Employer shall have the sole right to use, license or dispose of the work in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner Employer determines in its sole discretion without any further payment to you, whether such rights and means of use are now known or hereafter defined or discovered. Upon request by Employer, whether or not during the Employment Term, you shall do any and all things (at Employer’s expense) which Employer may reasonably deem useful or desirable to establish or document Employer’s rights in the results and proceeds of your services to the Company, including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate copyright, trademark and/or patent applications, assignments or similar documents. You hereby irrevocably designate the Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of Employer as your attorney-in-fact with the power to take such action and execute such documents on your behalf. To the extent you have any rights in such results and proceeds that cannot be assigned as described above, you unconditionally and irrevocably waive the enforcement of such rights. This paragraph 8(d) is subject to, and does not limit, restrict, or constitute any waiver by Employer of any rights of ownership to which Employer may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of Employer or any of its affiliates or predecessors being your employer.

(e) Litigation. You agree that during the Employment Term and for a one-year period thereafter and, if longer, during the pendency of any litigation or other proceeding, (i) you shall not communicate with anyone (other than your attorneys and tax advisors and except to the extent required by law or necessary in the performance of your duties hereunder) with respect to the facts or subject matter of any pending or potential litigation, or regulatory or administrative proceeding involving Employer or any of its affiliates or predecessors, other than any litigation or other proceeding in which you are a party-in-opposition, without giving prior notice to Employer or Employer’s counsel, and (ii) in the event that any other party attempts to obtain information or documents from you with respect to matters possibly related to such litigation or other proceeding, you shall promptly so notify Employer’s counsel unless you are prohibited from doing so under applicable law. You agree to cooperate, in a reasonable and appropriate manner, with Employer and its attorneys, both during and after the termination of your employment or services, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding arising out of or relating to matters in which you were involved prior to the termination of your employment or services to the extent Employer pays all reasonable expenses you incur in connection with such cooperation (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of

your counsel) and to the extent such cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with your personal or professional schedule.

(f) No Right to Write Books, Articles, Etc. During the Employment Term and for two (2) years thereafter but not beyond the end of the Original Employment Term, except in the course of the performance of your duties and responsibilities or otherwise as authorized by the Board, you shall not prepare (other than personal notes and/or a diary) or assist any person or entity in the preparation of any books, articles, radio broadcasts, electronic communications, television or motion picture productions or other creations, concerning Employer or any of its affiliates or predecessors or any of their officers, directors, agents, employees, suppliers or customers.

(g) Return of Property. All documents, data, recordings, or other property, whether tangible or intangible, including all information stored in electronic form, obtained or prepared by or for you and utilized by you in the course of your employment with Employer shall remain the exclusive property of Employer and shall remain in Employer’s exclusive possession at the conclusion of your Employment Term. In the event of the termination of your employment or services for any reason, Employer reserves the right, to the extent permitted by law and in addition to any other remedy Employer may have, to deduct from any monies otherwise payable to you the following: (i) all undisputed amounts you may owe, pursuant to a legally enforceable agreement, to Employer or any of its affiliates or predecessors at the time of or subsequent to the termination of your employment or services with Employer (including amounts described in paragraph 4(f)); and (ii) the value of Employer property which you are required to return and which you retain in your possession after the termination of your employment or services with Employer following Employer’s written request for same and your failure to return same. In the event that the law of any state or other jurisdiction requires the consent of any employee for such deductions, this Agreement shall serve as such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 8(g) to the contrary, Employer will not exercise such right to deduct from any monies otherwise payable to you to the extent such offset would result in a violation of Section 409A.

(h) Non-Disparagement. You and, to the extent set forth in the next sentence, Employer agree that each party shall not, during the Employment Term and for one (1) year thereafter, criticize, ridicule or make any statement which disparages or is derogatory of the other party in any non-public communication with any customer, client or member of the investment community or media or in any public communication. Employer’s obligations under the preceding sentence shall be limited to communications by its senior corporate executives having the rank of Senior Vice President or above (“Specified Executives”), and it is agreed and understood that any such communication by any Specified Executive (or by any executive at the behest of a Specified Executive) shall be deemed to be a breach of this paragraph 8(h) by Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither you nor Employer shall be prohibited from making statements in response to statements by the other party (or in your case, with respect to any Specified Executives) that criticize or ridicule or are disparaging or derogatory, provided that the responsive statements do not criticize or ridicule and are not disparaging or derogatory.

(i) Injunctive Relief, Etc. Employer has entered into this Agreement in order to obtain the benefit of your unique skills, talent and experience. You acknowledge and agree that any violation of paragraphs 8(a) through 8(h) will result in irreparable damage to Employer, and, accordingly, Employer may obtain injunctive and other equitable relief for any breach or threatened breach of such paragraphs, in addition to any other remedies available to Employer. You and Employer agree that the restrictions and remedies contained in paragraphs 8(a) through 8(h) are reasonable and that it is your intention and the intention of Employer that such restrictions and remedies shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible by law. If it is found by a court of competent jurisdiction that any such restriction or remedy is unenforceable but would be enforceable if some part thereof were deleted or the period or area of application reduced, then such restriction or remedy shall apply with such modification as shall be necessary to make it enforceable.

(j) Survival. Your obligations under paragraphs 8(a) through 8(h) and Employer’s obligations under paragraph 8(h) shall remain in full force and effect for the entire period provided therein (and only for such period, subject, however, to the provisions of paragraph 12(j)), notwithstanding the termination of your employment pursuant to paragraph 10 hereof or otherwise, or the expiration of the Original Employment Term.

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, your obligation to protect confidential and proprietary information and not to disparage Employer shall not prohibit you from disclosing matters that are protected under any applicable whistleblower laws, including reporting possible violations of laws or regulations, or responding to inquiries from, or testifying before, any governmental agency or self-regulating authority, all without notice to or consent from Employer. Additionally, you hereby are notified that the immunity provisions in Section 1833 of title 18 of the United States Code provide that an individual cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for any disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to federal, state or local government officials, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and is solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of the law, (ii) under seal in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, or (iii) to your attorney in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law (and the trade secret may be used in the court proceedings for such lawsuit) as long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the trade secret is not disclosed except pursuant to court order.

9. Incapacity. In the event that you have become totally medically disabled and you will not be able to substantially perform your duties for at least six (6) consecutive months or a total of 180 days during any 270 day period, the Board, at any time after such disability has continued for 60 consecutive days, may determine, provided such determination is made while the disability is still in effect, that Employer requires such duties and responsibilities be performed by another executive. In the event that you become “disabled” within the meaning of such term under Employer’s Short-Term Disability (STD) and its Long-Term Disability (LTD) program, you will first receive benefits under the STD program for the first 26 weeks of absence in accordance with

such program, which will be equal to your Salary, and the amount of such benefits will offset any Salary that otherwise would be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement. Thereafter, you will be eligible to receive benefits under the LTD program in accordance with its terms. For purposes of this Agreement, you will be considered to have experienced a termination of employment with Employer as of the date you first become eligible to receive benefits under the LTD program, or, if you do not become eligible to receive benefits under the LTD program, on the date following the sixth consecutive month in which you have not been able to substantially perform your duties hereunder (“Disability Termination Date”), and until that time you shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as an active employee of Employer. Upon your Disability Termination Date, your benefits will be the following in accordance with the payment provisions set forth in paragraph 10(d)(iii) and subject to the provisions of paragraph 10(d)(v):


(i)	Employer will pay your Accrued Compensation and Benefits (as defined below in paragraph 10(d)(ii));


(ii)	Employer will pay you a prorated Bonus for the year of your termination of employment based on your Target Bonus and the number of calendar days of such year elapsed through the date of your termination of employment;


(iii)	all of your outstanding unvested Employer stock options will vest, and all such options and all of your outstanding options that have previously vested will remain exercisable for the greater of three years and the period provided for under the terms of the applicable award agreement, but in no event beyond their normal expiration date;

(iv)

all of your unvested and outstanding restricted stock and/or restricted stock units and any other type of equity awards that are then unvested and outstanding, in each case, as of the Disability Termination Date shall vest and, subject to any prior deferral election, be settled within ten (10) business days after your Disability Termination Date; provided, that to the extent any such unvested and outstanding equity awards remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on your Disability Termination Date, such equity awards shall immediately vest (with an assumption that the performance goal(s) were achieved at target level, if and to the extent applicable) and, subject to any prior deferral election, be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter;


(v)	You will receive (x) grants of shares of Class B Common Stock earned as the Performance Awards (if any) pursuant to (and at the time provided in) Schedules A, B and C, and (y) payment of the Cash Performance Award (if any) pursuant to (and at the time

provided in) Schedule D, in each case subject to paragraph 10(d)(v); and

(vi)

Employer will continue to provide you with life insurance coverage as set forth in paragraph 5(b), at the same level of coverage that was in effect immediately prior to the Disability Termination Date and on terms and conditions under which the life insurance is provided that are no less favorable to you than those in effect immediately prior to the Disability Termination Date, until the end of the Original Employment Term or, if earlier, the date on which you become eligible for at least as much insurance coverage as the coverage that was in effect at the time of your termination, from a third party employer at such employer’s expense; provided, however, that Employer may decrease the amount of premiums it pays towards life insurance coverage it provides you so long as the amount of such coverage that it continues to provide, combined with the amount of such coverage provided to you from a third party employer at such employer’s expense, aggregates at least the amount of coverage that was in effect for you on the Disability Termination Date as a result of Employer’s obligations as set forth in paragraph 5(b).

10. Termination. For purposes of paragraphs 3(a), 9, 10 and 12, no payment that would otherwise be made and no benefit that would otherwise be provided upon a termination of employment will be made or provided unless and until such termination of employment is also a Separation from Service. A “Separation from Service” shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the level of bona fide services reasonably anticipated to be performed by you is 45% or less of the average level of bona fide services performed by you during the immediately preceding 36-month period.

(a) Termination for Cause. Employer may, at its option, terminate your employment for Cause (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, termination of your employment for “Cause” shall mean termination of your employment due to any of the following:


(i)	your engaging or participating in intentional acts of material fraud against the Company;


(ii)	your willful misfeasance having a material adverse effect on the Company (except in the event of your incapacity as set forth in paragraph 9);


(iii)	your conviction of a felony;


(iv)	your willful unauthorized disclosure of trade secret or other confidential material information of the Company having a material adverse effect on the Company;


(v)	your terminating your employment without Good Reason (as defined below) other than for death or incapacity pursuant to paragraph 9 (it being understood that your terminating your employment during the Original Employment Term without Good Reason prior to the end of the Original Employment Term shall constitute Cause);

your willful and material violation of any policy of the Company that is generally applicable to all employees or all officers of the Company (including, but not limited to, policies concerning xxxxxxx xxxxxxx or sexual harassment, Supplemental Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, and Employer’s Business Conduct Statement), provided that such violation has a material adverse effect on the Company;

(vii)

your willful failure to cooperate fully with a bona fide Company internal investigation or an investigation of the Company by regulatory or law enforcement authorities whether or not related to your employment with the Company (an “Investigation”), after being instructed by the Board to cooperate or your willful destruction of or knowing and intentional failure to preserve documents or other material known by you to be relevant to any Investigation; or


(viii)	your willful and material breach of any of your material obligations hereunder.

For purposes of the foregoing definition, an act or omission shall be considered “willful” if done, or omitted to be done, by you with knowledge and intent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board will give you written notice, not more than thirty (30) calendar days after the occurrence of the event constituting Cause comes to the attention of another “executive officer” of Employer (as defined by the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission for purposes of the Exchange Act), prior to terminating this Agreement for the cause set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above. Such notice shall set forth the nature of any alleged misfeasance in reasonable detail and the conduct required to cure such misfeasance. Except for a breach which cannot by its nature be cured, you shall have thirty (30) calendar days from your receipt of such notice within which to cure and within which period Employer cannot terminate this Agreement for the stated reasons, and, if so cured, after which period Employer cannot terminate your employment under this Agreement for the stated reasons. For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination of your employment for Cause set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above shall be effective without such notice.

(b) Good Reason Termination. You may terminate your employment hereunder for “Good Reason” at any time during the Original Employment Term upon

written notice to Employer not more than thirty (30) calendar days after you become aware of the occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason; provided, however, that in the case of an event described in clause (viii) below, such written notice shall be provided not earlier than ninety (90) days following the occurrence of such event. Such notice shall state an effective date no earlier than thirty (30) calendar days after the date it is given. Employer shall have thirty (30) calendar days from the giving of such notice within which to cure and within which period you cannot terminate your employment under this Agreement for the stated reasons and, if so cured, after which you cannot terminate your employment under this Agreement for the stated reasons; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply with respect to events which by their nature cannot be cured (it being understood that the occurrence of an event described in paragraph 10(b)(i), 10(b)(ii), 10(b)(iv)(D), 10(b)(viii) or 10(b)(x) shall be considered an event of the type which by its nature cannot be cured). “Good Reason” shall mean, without your prior written consent, other than in connection with the termination of your employment for Cause (as defined above) or incapacity (as set forth in paragraph 9) or as a result of your death:


(i)	your removal from or any failure to re-elect you as Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer or any higher office or title attained of Employer;

purposes of determining whether such successor director is a Qualified Replacement Director;


(ix)	the date on which a majority of the members of the Compensation Committee or a majority of the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board ceases to consist of Original Independent Directors and Qualified Replacement Directors;

For purposes of this Agreement, “Limited Accrued Compensation and Benefits” shall consist of: (w) reimbursement of any unpaid business expenses to which you are entitled to reimbursement pursuant to paragraph 6(a) that were incurred prior to the effective date of your termination (the “Termination Date”); (x) your Salary through the Termination Date (as such date is determined in accordance with paragraph 10(a) or 10(b), as applicable); (y) any

Bonus with respect to any completed calendar year that is determined by the Compensation Committee for you for each calendar year in which you were employed but has not yet been paid; and (z) all other vested compensation and benefits to which you are entitled as of the Termination Date under the terms and conditions applicable to such compensation and benefits, including vested stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, the Deferred Salary (if any, as defined in paragraph 3(a) of your employment agreement dated as of October 15, 2007 and as amended thereafter) and Deferred Compensation. The portion of each of your Limited Accrued Compensation and Benefits scheduled to be paid in cash upon your termination of employment shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days after the Termination Date.


(ii)	Termination without Cause or Resignation with Good Reason. In the event that Employer terminates your employment without Cause, or if you resign your employment for Good Reason, you shall be entitled to receive the following:


(a)	Employer will pay and provide your Limited Accrued Compensation and Benefits, plus any unpaid amounts to which you are entitled to reimbursement pursuant to paragraph 6(b) that were incurred prior to your Termination Date (together, the “Accrued Compensation and Benefits”);


(b)	Employer will pay you a Bonus for the calendar year in which you terminate employment, such Bonus to be determined based on actual performance pursuant to the performance goal(s) described in paragraph 3(b)(i) hereof, and then prorated based on the number of calendar days of such year elapsed through the date of your termination of employment (the “Pro-Rata Bonus”);

(c)

Employer will pay you a cash severance amount (the “Severance Payment”) equal to three (3) times the sum of: (i) your Salary in effect at the time of termination (or, if your Salary has been reduced in violation of this Agreement, your highest Salary during the Employment Term); and (ii) the average of the annual Bonuses payable to you (whether or not actually paid) with respect to the last three completed calendar years prior to the Termination Date; provided, that for purposes of determining the average annual Bonus under clause (ii), the term “Bonus” shall mean for each applicable calendar year the total amount designated by the Compensation Committee as

your Bonus for such calendar year, whether paid in cash, stock, stock options or stock awards or a combination thereof, and including any portion awarded as a Creative Bonus;


(d)	All of your outstanding unvested Employer stock options will vest, and all such options and all of your outstanding Employer stock options that have previously vested will remain exercisable for the greater of the period provided in accordance with the provisions of grant, or for three (3) years from the end of Employment Term, but not beyond their normal expiration date;

(e)

All of your unvested and outstanding restricted stock and/or restricted stock units and any other type of equity awards that are then unvested and outstanding, in each case, as of the date on which the Employment Term ends shall vest and, subject to any prior deferral election, be settled within ten (10) business days after your Termination Date; provided, however, that in the event and limited to the extent that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception is required in order to ensure the deductibility of any such award under Section 162(m) of the Code, such award shall vest if and to the extent the Compensation Committee certifies that a level of the performance goal(s) relating to such award has been met for the calendar year of termination, and, to the extent applicable, shall, subject to any prior deferral election, be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter, but in no event later than March 15^th of the calendar year after the calendar year in which the award was granted; provided, further, that in the event and to the extent that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code is not required in order to ensure the deductibility of any such equity awards, such equity awards shall immediately vest (with an assumption that the performance goal(s) were achieved at target level, if and to the extent applicable) and, subject to any prior deferral election, be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter;


(f)	You shall be provided, without charge to you, in either New York or Los Angeles at your election, suitable and appropriate office facilities (at a location within such city to be determined by Employer) and a personal secretary (who may be your choice of one of your personal secretaries providing services to you during the Employment Term, to

be compensated at the same compensation and benefits cost to Employer in effect immediately prior to your termination), until the conclusion of the Original Employment Term, or earlier upon your death, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall create any rights that are duplicative with any rights set forth in any other paragraph of this Agreement;

(g)

Employer will continue to provide you with life insurance coverage as set forth in paragraph 5(b), at the same level of coverage that was in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date and on terms and conditions under which the life insurance is provided that are no less favorable to you than those in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date, until the end of the Original Employment Term or, if earlier, the date on which you become eligible for at least as much insurance coverage as the coverage that was in effect at the time of your termination, from a third party employer at such employer’s expense; provided, however, that Employer may decrease the amount of premiums it pays towards life insurance coverage it provides you so long as the amount of such coverage that it continues to provide, combined with the amount of such coverage provided to you from a third party employer at such employer’s expense, aggregates at least the amount of coverage that was in effect for you at the time of your termination as a result of Employer’s obligations as set forth in paragraph 5(b);

(h)

You and your eligible dependents shall be entitled to continued participation at your sole cost, in all medical, dental and hospitalization benefit plans or programs (the “Health and Welfare Benefits”) in which you and/or they were participating on the date of the termination of your employment until the earlier of (i) 36 months following termination of your employment and (ii) the date, or dates, you receive equivalent coverage and benefits under the plans and programs of a subsequent employer (the “Continuation Period”); but only to the extent that you make a payment to Employer in an amount equal to the monthly premium payments (both the employee and employer portion) required to maintain such coverage for a similarly situated active employee (and such employee’s dependents) of Employer on or before the first day of each calendar month commencing with the first calendar month following the Termination Date and Employer shall reimburse you (on a tax-grossed up basis) for the amount of

such premiums, if any, in excess of any employee contributions necessary to maintain such coverage for the Continuation Period; provided, however, that, in the event Employer is unable to provide you with the Health and Welfare Benefits during the Continuation Period under the terms of the applicable Employer plan(s), Employer shall obtain comparable coverage for you and your dependents at no additional cost to you (including on a tax-grossed up basis, if applicable) during the Continuation Period. The period of continuation coverage to which you are entitled under Section 4980B(f) of the Code shall run concurrently with the Continuation Period;


(i)	For purposes of calculating your plan benefit under any SERP, you shall be credited with additional age and service credit equal to the lesser of (i) three (3) years or (ii) the period elapsed from the Termination Date to the end of the Original Employment Term (the “SERP Credit”);

(j)

You will receive a cash payment equal to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), if your Termination Date occurs prior to the 0000 XXX Grant Date; provided, that if your employment terminates pursuant to paragraph 10(b), the amount set forth in this clause (j) shall be prorated based on the number of days which has elapsed during the 12-month period beginning on the RSU Grant Date immediately preceding your Termination Date (if your Termination Date occurs prior to the 2018 Grant Date, the last Annual RSU Grant Date shall be deemed to be February 23, 2017);

(k)

If, following your termination of employment pursuant to paragraph 10(b) or 10(c), you do not notify Employer within thirty (30) days following your Termination Date that you wish to provide Producer Services (as defined in and in accordance with paragraph 12(c)), you will receive a payment equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). Your receipt of such payment constitutes a waiver of any claims, whether known or unknown, that you may have against Employer related to a Production Agreement (as defined in paragraph 12(c)); and


(l)	You will receive (x) grants of shares of Class B Common Stock earned as the Performance Awards (if any) pursuant to (and at the time provided in) Schedules A, B and C, and (y) payment of the Cash Performance Award (if any) pursuant to (and at the time provided in) Schedule D, in each case subject to paragraphs 10(d)(iv) and 10(d)(v).

(iii)

Timing of Payments and Settlement. Subject to paragraphs 10(d)(iv) and (v), (A) the portion of each of your Accrued Compensation and Benefits scheduled to be paid in cash upon your termination of employment shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days after the Termination Date; (B) payment of the Pro-Rata Bonus will be made in accordance with paragraph 3(b)(vi) hereof; (C) payment of the cash amount described in paragraph 10(d)(ii)(j) shall be made in a lump sum within 30 days after the Termination Date, and payment of the cash amount described in paragraph 10(d)(ii)(k) (if any) shall be made in a lump sum within 60 days after the Termination Date; (D) all outstanding and unvested stock options, restricted stock and/or restricted stock units shall be treated as described in paragraphs 10(d)(ii)(d) and (e); and (E) any incremental plan benefits resulting from Employer’s application of the SERP Credit will be paid at the same time and in the same form as your plan benefits are scheduled to be paid under the terms of the SERP. Payment of the awards described in paragraph 10(d)(ii)(l) shall be made in accordance with the terms of Schedules A, B, C and D.

Subject to paragraphs 10(d)(iv) and (v), 50% of the Severance Payment shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days after the Termination Date, and the remaining 50% of the Severance Payment will be paid in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices over a period of 36 months, beginning with the first payroll period following the Termination Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any payments and benefits set forth in paragraph 10(d)(ii) constitute “deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A (or any successor provisions) of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”)), then for purposes of this paragraph 10(d)(iii), the references to “Termination Date” in the preceding two sentences shall be deemed to refer to the first business day following the expiration of the 60-day period described in paragraph 10(d)(iv)(b) below.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, your entitlement to any portion of the Severance Payment that has not yet been paid and your right to receive future payments and benefits (including payments under paragraph 12, office and secretarial services) will cease if you materially breach any of the provisions set forth in paragraph 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) (but only with

respect to a material breach involving strategic business or financial information) or 8(h) and after notice by Employer of such breach you fail to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following your receipt of such notice, assuming such breach is capable of cure. In the case of your material breach of any of the other provisions of paragraph 8, then in addition to any other rights or remedies Employer has under this Agreement or otherwise, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Employer from seeking monetary damages and/or equitable relief in court. You may request from Employer at any time its view on whether a proposed activity or investment by you will breach the Non-Compete Covenant described in paragraph 8(a) and/or the Non-Solicit Covenant described in paragraph 8(b) by giving Employer written notice of the details of such activity or investment, and Employer will respond to your inquiry within ten (10) business days of its receipt of such notice. Employer’s view as conveyed to you that the proposed activity or investment will not breach the applicable provisions of paragraph 8(a) and/or 8(b) shall be binding on it to the extent that the activity or investment does not exceed what was described in the notice. Your giving notice shall not be deemed an admission by you that the proposed activity or investment would violate the applicable provisions of paragraph 8(a) and/or 8(b). Employer’s failure to respond with its view within ten (10) business days of its receipt of notice shall not constitute or be construed as an acknowledgment by Employer that the proposed activity or investment will not breach the provisions of paragraph 8(a) and/or 8(b), but such failure shall create an irrebuttable presumption that any breach arising from such activity or investment is capable of cure. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph 10(d)(iii), including the requirement that Employer give you a notice of a breach of paragraph 8(a) and/or 8(b), shall preclude Employer from seeking an immediate injunction or other equitable relief for any breach or threatened breach of provisions of paragraph 8.


(iv)	Full Discharge of Company Obligations; Release.

(a)

The payments and other benefits provided for in paragraph 10(d)(ii) (and, as applicable, paragraphs 12(h)(iii) and 12(i)(iii)) are in lieu of any severance or income continuation or protection under any plan Employer or any of its subsidiaries that may now or hereafter exist. The payments and benefits to be provided pursuant to paragraph 10(d)(ii) (and, as applicable, paragraphs 12(h)(iii) and 12(i)(iii)) (x) shall constitute liquidated damages, and not a penalty; (y) shall be considered your exclusive remedy upon termination of your employment pursuant to

paragraph 10(b) or 10(c), termination of the Advisor Period for the reason set forth in paragraph 12(h)(iii) or termination of the Producer Period for the reason set forth in paragraph 12(i)(iii), as applicable; and (z) shall be deemed to satisfy and be in full and final settlement of all obligations of Employer to you under this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that such amounts are fair and reasonable, and your sole and exclusive remedy, in lieu of all other remedies at law or in equity, with respect to the termination of your employment hereunder.

(b)

Employer’s obligation to make the Severance Payment and to pay or provide the other benefits set forth in paragraph 10(d)(ii) other than the Accrued Compensation and Benefits shall be conditioned on your execution of a release (the “Release”) (with all periods for revocation set forth therein having expired) in form and substance substantially identical to that set forth in Schedule E within 60 days following your termination of employment (the “Release Condition”). The Release shall not be effective unless and until Employer executes the Release. For avoidance of doubt, the execution or non-execution by Employer of the Release shall not affect whether or not the Release Condition has been satisfied.

(c)

To the extent any payments and benefits set forth in paragraph 10(d)(ii) do not constitute “deferred compensation”, then if, at the time any such payments or benefits are scheduled to be paid to you pursuant to paragraph 10(d)(iii), you have not satisfied the Release Condition, such payments and benefits shall be held and accumulated without interest, and shall be paid to you on the first regular payroll date following the effective date of the Release. If the maximum period in which the Release may be executed (with all periods for revocation set forth therein having expired) ends in the calendar year following the calendar year in which you incur a Separation from Service, the Release Condition shall be deemed not to have been satisfied until the later of (i) the first business day in the year following the year in which you incur a Separation from Service or (ii) the date that the Release Condition is satisfied (without regard to this sentence).


(v)	Section 409A Delay. Notwithstanding any provisions of paragraphs 3(a), 4, 9, 10 and 12 to the contrary, if you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A) at the time of your Separation from Service, and if any portion of the

payments or benefits to be received by you under paragraphs 3(a), 4, 9, 10 and 12 of this Agreement or under Schedules A, B, C and D upon your Separation from Service would be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A, then the following provisions shall apply to each such portion.

(a)

Each portion of such payments and benefits that would otherwise be payable pursuant to paragraphs 3(a), 4, 9, 10 and 12 and Schedules A, B, C and D during the six-month period immediately following your Separation from Service (the “Delayed Period”) shall instead be paid or made available on the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh month following the date you incur a Separation from Service or (ii) your death (the applicable date, the “Permissible Payment Date”).


(b)	Employer shall reimburse you for the reasonable after-tax cost of any welfare benefits, contemplated by paragraphs 9, 10 and 12, incurred by you in independently obtaining (or otherwise paying amounts to Employer to obtain) such benefits during the Delayed Period, with such reimbursement to be paid to you by Employer on the Permissible Payment Date.

(c)

With respect to any amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement under paragraphs 9, 10 and 12, such expenses shall be reimbursed by Employer within 60 calendar days (or, if applicable, on the Permissible Payment Date) following the date on which Employer receives the applicable invoice from you (and approves such invoice) but in no event later than December 31^st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you incur the related expenses, or in the case of payment contemplated by paragraph 10(v)(e), December 31^st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable taxes are remitted.


(d)	Any payments delayed under paragraphs 3(a), 9, 10 and 12 and Schedule D (other than the delayed settlement of equity-based awards subject to Section 409A, if any) as a result of the application of Section 409A shall accrue interest at Employer’s highest borrowing rate in effect on the Separation from Service and such interest shall be paid at the same time as the underlying delayed payment.


(e)	Excise Taxes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that it is determined by Employer, or

by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) pursuant to an IRS audit (an “Audit”) of your federal income tax return(s), that any payment or benefit provided to you hereunder or otherwise, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any interest or penalties thereon, is herein referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Employer shall pay (either directly to the IRS as tax withholdings or to you as a reimbursement of any amount of taxes, interest and penalties paid by you to the IRS) both the Excise Tax and an additional cash payment (a “Tax Neutralization Payment”) in an amount that will place you in the same after-tax economic position that you would have enjoyed if the payment or benefit had not been subject to the Excise Tax. Employer will consult with its outside tax counsel at its expense, to the extent it reasonably deems appropriate, in making determinations pursuant to the preceding sentence. The amount of the Tax Neutralization Payment shall be calculated by Employer’s regular independent auditors based on the amount of the Excise Tax paid by Employer as determined by Employer or the IRS. If the amount of the Excise Tax determined by the IRS is greater than an amount previously determined by Employer, Employer’s auditors shall recalculate the amount of the Tax Neutralization Payment. Employer’s auditors shall provide you with detailed support for its calculations. Employer shall be responsible for the fees and expenses incurred by its auditors in making these calculations. You shall promptly notify Employer of any IRS assertion during an Audit that an Excise Tax is due with respect to any payment or benefit, but you shall be under no obligation to defend against such claim by the IRS unless Employer requests, in writing, that you undertake the defense of such IRS claim on behalf of Employer and at Employer’s sole expense. In such event, Employer may elect to control the conduct to a final determination through counsel of its own choosing and at its sole expense, of any audit, administrative or judicial proceeding involving an asserted liability relating to the Excise Tax, and you shall not settle, compromise or concede such asserted Excise Tax and shall cooperate with Employer in each phase of any contest.


(f)	Each payment under this Agreement shall be considered a “separate payment” and not of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A.

(vi)

Reimbursement; In-Kind Benefits. In no event shall the reimbursements or in-kind benefits to be provided by Employer under this Agreement in one taxable year affect the amount of reimbursements or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year, nor shall your right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. In addition, in no event shall any such reimbursements be paid later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related expense was incurred.

(e) Election to Accelerate Advisory Role. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, you may elect to shorten the maximum Employment Term by two years (i.e., to June 30, 2019) by providing an irrevocable written notice of such election (including via email) to each of the Chair of the Compensation Committee and the Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer of Employer on or before December 31, 2018. Such irrevocable election shall have the following consequences:


(i)	the Original Employment Term (defined in paragraph 1 of this Agreement) shall be deemed to expire on June 30, 2019;


(ii)	you shall not be entitled to any Bonus for any portion of the 2020 or 2021 calendar years, and references to the partial calendar year 2021 in paragraphs 3(b)(ii), 3(b)(v) and 3(b)(vi) shall instead be applicable and refer to the partial calendar year 2019;


(iii)	you shall not be eligible to receive any Discretionary Option Grants or Annual RSUs in 2020 or 2021;


(iv)	the 2017 Performance Share Award (as described in paragraph 4(c)(iii) and Schedule C) and the Cash Performance Award (as described in paragraph 4(d) and Schedule D) shall be forfeited;


(v)	any outstanding “CEO Grants” (as defined in paragraph 12(e)(ii) of this Agreement) shall be (A) forfeited in the event of your termination under circumstances described in paragraph 12(h)(i) or 12(i)(i), or (B) accelerated in the event of your termination under circumstances described in paragraph 12(h)(ii), 12(h)(iii), 12(i)(ii) or 12(i)(iii); and


(vi)	the grant value of the “Additional RSUs” (as described in paragraph 12(g) below) shall be reduced to Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($10,500,000).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your employment is terminated by Employer under circumstances described in paragraph 10(b) or 10(c) on or before June 30, 2019, any election you may have made pursuant to and in accordance with this

paragraph 10(e) of this Agreement shall have no force or effect, except that the consequences described in clauses (ii) through (vi) above shall be applicable.

11. Death. If you die during the Employment Term, your beneficiary or estate shall be entitled to receive the following:


(i)	Employer will pay your Accrued Compensation and Benefits through the date of your death;

(ii)

Employer will pay a prorated Bonus for the year of your death based on your Target Bonus and the number of calendar days elapsed during the year through the date of your death (the date of such payment for purposes of Section 409A shall be the date of your death, and such payment shall be made not later than February 28^th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which your death occurs);


(iii)	all of your outstanding unvested Employer stock options will vest;


(iv)	all such options and all of your outstanding options that have previously vested will remain exercisable for the period provided for under the terms of the applicable award agreement;

(v)

all of your unvested and outstanding restricted stock and/or restricted stock units and any other type of equity awards will vest and, subject to any prior deferral election, be settled within ten (10) business days after the date of your death; provided, that to the extent any such unvested and outstanding equity awards remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on the date of your death, such equity awards shall immediately vest (with an assumption that the performance goal(s) were achieved at target level, if and to the extent applicable) and, subject to any prior deferral election, be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; and


(vi)	You will receive (x) grants of shares of Class B Common Stock earned as the Performance Awards (if any) pursuant to (and at the time provided in) Schedules A, B and C, and (y) payment of the Cash Performance Award (if any) pursuant to (and at the time provided in) Schedule D.

12. Senior Advisor or Producer.

(a) Continuation as Advisor; Term. Upon the earlier of (i) the end of the Employment Term as a result of the termination of your employment pursuant to paragraph 10(b) or 10(c), or (ii) the expiration of the Original Employment Term (provided you remained employed and are being paid on Employer’s payroll through the

end of the Original Employment Term and there has not occurred a renewal of the Employment Term), unless you elect otherwise by providing written notice to Employer, your employment shall continue in a different capacity as a Senior Advisor (an “Advisor”) to the Company for a period of five years (the “Advisor Period”), subject to earlier termination of the Advisor Period in accordance with this paragraph 12. The Advisor Period may be terminated by (i) you at any time upon fourteen (14) days’ prior written notice to Employer, (ii) Employer for Cause, as determined in accordance with paragraph 10(a), but without regard to clause (v) of such definition, or (iii) by Employer for any other reason. The termination of the Advisor Period pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) in the preceding sentence is hereinafter referred to as a “Non-Qualifying Termination.” The date on which the Advisor Period commences is hereinafter referred to as the “Commencement Date.” The period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending immediately prior to the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date, regardless of any earlier termination of the Advisor Period, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Original Advisor Period.”

(b) Advisory Services to be Provided During Advisor Period. During the Advisor Period, you shall provide such advisory services concerning the business, affairs and management of Employer and its subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer of Employer (the “Advisory Services”), but you shall not be required to devote more than five (5) days (up to eight (8) hours per day) each month to such services which shall be performed at a time and place mutually convenient to you and Employer. You may accept other employment during the Advisor Period with any charitable, educational, religious or entertainment industry trade, public interest or public service organization and you may provide services to third parties (including serving as a member of the board of directors of any such party and any entity on which you have already been elected to serve during the Employment Term), provided that such services or the entity to whom you are providing such services is not in competition with Employer or any of its subsidiaries (“Permitted Services”). Any compensation or fees earned by you from Permitted Services shall not reduce the compensation payable by Employer under paragraphs 10(d) or 12.

(c) Producer Services to be Performed. During the Advisor Period, you shall not be required to provide any services as a Producer (“Producer Services”) unless and until you notify Employer in writing and within thirty (30) days following either the expiration of the Original Employment Term or your Termination Date pursuant to paragraph 10(b) or 10(c), as applicable, that you desire to provide services as a Producer (the “Producer Notice”). Employer shall notify you in writing at least two weeks prior to the expiration of such 30-day notice period if it has not received the Producer Notice (the “Employer Notice”).

If Employer timely provides you the Employer Notice, but you do not provide the Producer Notice to Employer within the prescribed 30-day period, Employer shall have no further obligation to you related to negotiation of a Production Agreement or your provision of Producer Services, subject to the last sentence of paragraph 12(h), if applicable; provided, that if your employment was terminated pursuant to paragraph 10(b) or 10(c) prior to the end of the Original Employment Term

and you do not provide such Producer Notice, then pursuant to paragraph 10(d)(ii)(k) Employer will pay you Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in accordance with the schedule set forth in paragraphs 10(d)(ii)(k) and 10(d)(iii).

If you provide the Producer Notice while you are an Advisor and within the prescribed 30-day period, the material terms set forth in the letter agreement between you and Employer dated December 11, 2014, as modified by paragraph 12(l) of this Agreement (as modified, the “Supplemental Agreement”), shall, effective as of the Commencement Date, constitute a binding production agreement. You and Employer (or an appropriate subsidiary of Employer) shall thereafter endeavor to enter into a binding long-form production agreement within sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date. The long-form production agreement (i) shall be negotiated in good faith; (ii) shall amend or supersede the Supplemental Agreement and have a term which commences effective as of the Commencement Date; (iii) shall recognize your experience in the industry, your skills and understanding of the Company; and (iv) shall contain substantive provisions relating to television and film production similar to comparable agreements entered into by the Company with a producer during the 36-month period preceding the Commencement Date, including the terms of the Supplemental Agreement. The Supplemental Agreement or, if you and Employer are able to reach agreement on a long-form production agreement, such long-form production agreement shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Production Agreement.” The term of any such Production Agreement, subject to earlier termination as may be set forth in the Production Agreement, shall be referred to herein as the “Producer Period,” and the term of any such Production Agreement, assuming no earlier termination of the term of such agreement, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Original Producer Period.”

If you and Employer are not parties to a Production Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that, during the period in which you serve in the capacity as an Advisor to the Company and for a one-year period thereafter, but in no event beyond the Original Advisor Period, you shall be required to submit to Employer (or an appropriate subsidiary of Employer), on an exclusive First Look (as defined herein) basis, all Projects (as defined herein) for Employer’s consideration for potential acquisition, development, production and/or distribution by Employer. If you and Employer are parties to a Production Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that, during the period in which you serve in the capacity as a Producer to the Company and for a one-year period thereafter, but in no event beyond the Original Producer Period, you shall be required to submit to Employer (or an appropriate subsidiary of Employer), on an exclusive First Look basis, all Projects for Employer’s consideration for potential acquisition, development, production and/or distribution by Employer; provided, however, that if your Production Agreement includes a First Look (or similar) provision(s) containing terms different than those set forth in the following paragraph, the terms of such provision(s) shall apply with respect to any Project(s) specifically contemplated therein. As used herein, “First Look” means that a Project shall be submitted in writing solely and exclusively to an individual specifically designated by Employer for such purpose (your “Project Contact”) before it is submitted by you or on your behalf to any other person or entity; and “Project” means any idea, concept, story or other literary work intended by you or on your behalf for initial exploitation via any means of audio-visual

exhibition, including, without limitation, television, motion-picture or theatrical exhibition.

Employer shall notify you of the name and contact information of your Project Contact as promptly as practicable following the Commencement Date, provided, however, that Employer shall have the right to change your Project Contact from time to time with reasonable prior written notice to you. Employer shall have thirty (30) days following your submission of a Project in which to notify you of its acceptance or rejection of the Project (reducible to fifteen (15) days if you notify Employer at the time of submission that such Project is a “hot property”). In the event Employer rejects the Project (or fails to notify you of its acceptance of such Project in writing during the foregoing consideration period), you shall be free to submit the Project to any other person or entity and enter into any agreement or arrangement with respect thereto, with no further obligation to Employer whatsoever with respect thereto (whether legal, financial or otherwise), except as otherwise provided below, and without such submission to another person or entity being a violation of the First Look obligation, provided, however, that in the event of a material change in a material element of the Project (e.g., a material change in the development and/or production budget or a change in any key performer, producer, director or writer attached to the Project) prior to you entering into an agreement or arrangement with a third party with respect to such Project or such Project otherwise being set up with a third party, Employer shall be entitled to an additional First Look at the Project on the terms and conditions set forth herein and you shall re-submit the Project to Employer. In the event Employer accepts the Project by notifying you in writing during the consideration period, you shall negotiate exclusively and in good faith with Employer with respect thereto for a period of thirty (30) days (the “Negotiation Period”). If no agreement is reached by the end of the Negotiation Period or if Employer is otherwise unable to acquire any necessary third party rights with respect to such Project during the Negotiation Period, you may negotiate with third parties and/or enter into any agreement with third parties with respect to the Project, but you may not enter into any agreement with any third party on terms equally or less favorable to you than those last offered by you to Employer without first offering to Employer, by written notice specifying the name of such third party (if you are not otherwise prohibited from disclosing), the same terms and conditions of such agreement (the “Third Party Agreement”). Employer will have ten (10) days after Employer’s receipt of said offer to accept or reject all of the terms and conditions of the Third Party Agreement by notifying you in writing within such ten day period (with failure to so notify you within such period being deemed a rejection by Employer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the non-competition provisions set forth herein shall not apply with respect to any agreement, arrangement, or services provided by you (or any of your affiliates) with respect to any Project which Employer has rejected or not accepted pursuant to the foregoing.

(d) Level of Services. Notwithstanding paragraphs 12(a), (b) and (c), it is the intent of the parties, and the parties hereby acknowledge, that for so long as the Advisor Period and/or Producer Period remains in effect, the level of bona fide services reasonably anticipated to be performed by you shall remain 45% or less of the average level of bona fide services performed by you during the 36-month period ending on the

last day of the Employment Term and, therefore, that your continuing to provide services as an Advisor and/or Producer following the expiration of the Employment Term shall not prevent you from being considered to have incurred a Separation from Service as of your Termination Date.

(e) Advisor Compensation and Benefits. During the Advisor Period you shall receive a salary at the rate of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per annum (the “Advisory Fees”), which, for the avoidance of doubt, is in addition to any compensation and/or fees payable to you with respect to any services provided in your role as a Producer (the “Producer Services”). In addition, during the Advisor Period, subject to the provisions of the applicable plans or programs, including provisions relating to eligibility to participate:

(i)

the provisions of paragraphs 5(a), 5(b), 6(a) and 6(b) (but (x) in the case of paragraph 5(b), coverage will be provided at the same coverage level in effect immediately prior to the Commencement Date, and (y) in the case of paragraph 6(b), only with respect to Perquisites and consistent with Employer policies during the Advisor Period) shall continue to apply, other than the right to vacation accruals contemplated by paragraph 5(a) (collectively referred to as the “Additional Compensation and Benefits”). In the event Employer is unable to provide you with the Additional Compensation and Benefits due to your ineligibility to participate in the applicable Employer plans or programs during the Advisor Period, Employer shall obtain, during the Advisor Period, comparable coverage for you and your dependents with a contribution no greater than that contribution which would be required if you were an active employee covered under Employer’s plan; and

(ii)

your equity awards, including without limitation stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or any other form of equity awards you may have been granted prior to the date you became an Advisor (the “CEO Grants,” which specifically exclude the “Additional RSUs,” as defined in paragraph 12(g) below), to the extent not already vested or paid out, shall continue to vest or be paid out or exercisable, as the case may be, on their original schedule.

Additionally, during the Advisor Period, you shall be provided with: (w) in either New York or Los Angeles at your election, suitable and appropriate office facilities (at a location within such city to be determined by Employer); (x) a personal secretary (who may be your choice of one of your personal secretaries providing services to you during the Employment Term, to be compensated at the same compensation and benefits cost to Employer in effect immediately prior to the Commencement Date); (y) security services paid for by Employer consistent with the level of services provided by Employer immediately prior to the Commencement Date; and (z) use of private charter

aircraft (e.g., “Net Jets”) comparable to a Gulfstream G-IV, taking into account your travel plans, number of passengers and similar considerations, for up to a total of 100 hours per calendar year (collectively, the “Additional Benefits”).

In no event shall the reimbursements or in-kind benefits to be provided by Employer in one taxable year affect the amount of reimbursements or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year, nor shall your right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. In addition, in no event shall any such reimbursements be paid later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related expense was incurred.

(f) Producer Compensation and Benefits. You will not receive any compensation or fees for the provision of any Producer Services, except as provided under the terms of a Production Agreement and as specifically set forth below:

(i)

during the Producer Period, the provisions of paragraphs 5(a), 5(b), 6(a) and 6(b) (but (x) in the case of paragraph 5(b), coverage will be provided at the same coverage level in effect immediately prior to the Commencement Date, and (y) in the case of paragraph 6(b), only with respect to Perquisites and consistent with Employer policies during the Advisor Period) shall continue to apply, other than the right to vacation accruals contemplated by paragraph 5(a) (collectively referred to as the “Producer Period Benefits”). In the event Employer is unable to provide you with the Producer Period Benefits due to your ineligibility to participate in the applicable Employer plans or programs during the Producer Period, Employer shall obtain, during the Producer Period, comparable coverage for you and your dependents with a contribution no greater than that contribution which would be required if you were an active employee covered under Employer’s plan;


(ii)	the CEO Grants, to the extent not already vested or paid out, shall continue to vest or be paid out or exercisable, as the case may be, on their original schedule; and


(iii)	during the Producer Period, Employer shall provide you with the Additional Benefits (the “Additional Producer Benefits”);

provided, however, that neither the Producer Period Benefits nor the Additional Producer Benefits shall be paid or provided to you by Employer to the extent such payments and benefits are paid or provided to you during any portion of the Advisor Period that runs concurrently with the Producer Period.

shall any such reimbursements be paid later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related expense was incurred.

(g) Equity Awards. In consideration of your covenants set forth in paragraph 12(j) and in order to retain your exclusive services as an Advisor (other than in connection with Permitted Services) during the periods described in paragraph 12, Employer agrees that upon the Commencement Date (or if the Commencement Date is not a trading day, on the first trading day after the Commencement Date) (the “Additional RSU Grant Date”), you will automatically be granted restricted stock units having a value equal to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the “Additional RSUs”). The number of Additional RSUs granted on the Additional RSU Grant Date (rounded down to a whole unit for any fractional unit) shall be determined by dividing the value specified in the preceding sentence by the closing price of one share of Class B Common Stock on the Additional RSU Grant Date. Each Additional RSU shall correspond to one share of Class B Common Stock. The Additional RSUs shall vest in three (3) equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Commencement Date, subject to earlier acceleration or cancellations as provided in paragraph 12(h) or any deferral election.

(h) Consequences of Termination of the Advisor Period. Upon termination of the Advisor Period, in addition to any compensation you may be entitled to upon termination of the Producer Period:

(i)

in a Non-Qualifying Termination, Employer shall have no further obligations to you under the terms of paragraph 12 with respect to your role as an Advisor other than to promptly pay and provide you with Accrued Advisory Compensation and Benefits. For purposes of this Agreement, “Accrued Advisory Compensation and Benefits” shall consist of: (A) reimbursement of any unpaid business expenses to which you are entitled to reimbursement pursuant to paragraph 6 (and paragraph 12(e)) that were incurred prior to the effective date of the termination of the Advisor Period (such date, the “Advisor Termination Date”), (B) your Advisory Fees through the Advisor Termination Date, and (C) all other vested compensation and benefits to which you are entitled to as of the Advisor Termination Date under the terms and conditions applicable to such compensation and benefits. All of your then unvested Additional RSUs shall be cancelled upon the occurrence of a Non-Qualifying Termination. The Accrued Advisory Compensation and Benefits shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days after the Advisor Termination Date.


(ii)	due to death or disability (as determined in accordance with your long-term disability plan coverage in effect during the Advisor Period), (A) the Additional RSUs shall become fully vested and, subject to any prior deferral election, be settled within ten (10) business days following the Advisor Termination Date; (B) in the

case of your termination due to disability, the provisions of paragraph 5(b) shall continue to apply for the duration of the Original Advisor Period (at the same coverage level in effect immediately prior to the Commencement Date); and (C) you shall be entitled to the Accrued Advisory Compensation and Benefits.

(iii)

for any reason other than as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, (A) you shall be entitled to the Accrued Advisory Compensation and Benefits; (B) the Additional RSUs shall become fully vested and, subject to any prior deferral election, be settled within ten (10) business days following the Advisor Termination Date; and (C) Employer shall continue to provide you with the Additional Compensation and Benefits, the Advisory Fees and the Additional Benefits, in each case, for the duration of the Original Advisor Period in accordance with paragraph 12(e).

Additionally, if the Advisor Period is terminated by Employer (x) for any reason other than as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, (y) before you provide the Producer Notice and (z) within the 30-day period following the expiration of the Original Employment Term, you will also receive a cash payment equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), payable in a lump sum during the 60-day period beginning on the Commencement Date.

(i) Consequences of Termination of the Producer Period. Subject to any compensation and benefits to which you are entitled pursuant to the terms of a Production Agreement with the Company, upon termination of the Producer Period, in addition to any compensation you may be entitled to upon termination of the Advisor Period:

(i)

by you at any time upon fourteen (14) days’ prior written notice to Employer or by Employer for Cause (as determined in accordance with paragraph 10(a), but without regard to clause (v) of such definition), Employer shall have no further obligations to you under the terms of paragraph 12 of this Agreement with respect to your role as a Producer, or under any other agreement (including any Production Agreement), other than to promptly pay and provide you with Accrued Producer Compensation and Benefits. For purposes of this Agreement, “Accrued Producer Compensation and Benefits” shall consist of: (A) reimbursement of any unpaid business expenses to which you are entitled to reimbursement pursuant to paragraph 6 (and this paragraph 12) that were incurred prior to the effective date of the termination of the Producer Period (such date, the “Producer Termination Date”), and (B) all other vested compensation and benefits to which you are entitled to as of the Producer Termination Date under the terms and conditions applicable to such compensation and benefits. The Accrued Producer Compensation and Benefits

shall be paid in a lump sum within 30 days after the Producer Termination Date.

(ii)

due to death or disability (as determined in accordance with your long-term disability plan coverage in effect during the Producer Period), (A) in the case of your termination due to disability, the provisions of paragraph 5(b) shall continue to apply for the duration of the Original Producer Period (at the same coverage level in effect immediately prior to the Commencement Date); and (B) you shall be entitled to the Accrued Producer Compensation and Benefits.

(iii)

for any reason other than set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, (A) Employer shall continue to provide you with the Producer Period Benefits and the Additional Producer Benefits, in each case, for the duration of the Original Producer Period in accordance with paragraph 12(f); (B) you shall be entitled to the Accrued Producer Compensation and Benefits; and (C) Employer shall provide you with the “overhead reimbursement,” “television production guaranteed compensation” and “network penalty payments” (as described in Sections A.2, B.1 and D.3, respectively, of Exhibit A to the Supplemental Agreement) for the duration of the Original Producer Period, payable in accordance with a schedule(s) to be set forth in the Production Agreement.

(j) Covenants. The parties hereby agree that (i) the provisions of paragraph 8 are hereby incorporated by reference into this paragraph 12 and shall continue to apply during the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the later of the termination of the Advisor Period and the termination of the Producer Period (such period, the “Extended Restriction Period”) (other than with respect to any Project which Employer has rejected or failed to accept appropriately pursuant to the First Look), and any period set forth in the provisions of paragraph 8 that survives any termination of employment or the Employment Term shall survive for the same duration following termination of the Extended Restriction Period, and (ii) the provisions of paragraph 8(a), 8(b) and 8(f) that would otherwise terminate upon the expiration of the Original Employment Term shall continue to apply following the expiration of the Original Employment Term during the Extended Restriction Period, and shall remain in effect as follows: (x) with respect to paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b), until the first anniversary of the termination of the Extended Restriction Period, unless such Extended Restriction Period terminates as a result of the expiration of the Original Advisor Period or the Original Producer Period (in which case the provisions of paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b) shall end on the last day of the Original Advisor Period or the Original Producer Period, as the case may be), and (y) with respect to paragraph 8(f), until the second anniversary of the termination of the Extended Restriction Period, unless such Extended Restriction Period terminates as a result of the expiration of the Original Advisor Period or the Original Producer Period (in which case the provisions of paragraph 8(f) shall end on the last day of the Original Advisor Period or the Original Producer Period, as the case may be).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you and Employer enter into a Production Agreement as contemplated in paragraph 12(c), the provisions of paragraph 8 shall not apply to you in your capacity as a Producer during the Producer Period to the extent any activity or conduct described in such provisions is specifically authorized under the terms of your Production Agreement.

(k) Release. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any Production Agreement with Employer to the contrary:

(i)

Employer’s obligation to make the payments and provide the benefits set forth in paragraph 12(h)(iii) of this Agreement other than the Accrued Advisory Compensation and Benefits shall be conditioned on your execution of a release (the “Advisor Release”) (with all periods for revocation set forth therein having expired) in form and substance substantially identical to that set forth in Schedule E within 60 days following the termination of the Advisor Period (the “Advisor Release Condition”). The Advisor Release shall not be effective unless and until executed by Employer; provided, however, that execution or non-execution by Employer of the Advisor Release shall not affect whether or not the Advisor Release Condition has been satisfied. If the maximum period in which the Advisor Release may be executed (with all periods for revocation set forth therein having expired) ends in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Advisor Termination Date occurs, then the Advisor Release Condition shall be deemed not to have been satisfied until the later of (i) the first business day in the year following the year in which the Advisor Termination Date occurs or (ii) the date on which the Advisor Release Condition is satisfied (without regard to this sentence).

(ii)

Employer’s obligation to make the payments and provide the benefits set forth in paragraph 12(i)(iii) (other than the Accrued Producer Compensation and Benefits) of this Agreement or under any Production Agreement with Employer shall be conditioned on your execution of a release (the “Producer Release”) (with all periods for revocation set forth therein having expired) in form and substance substantially identical to that set forth in Schedule E within 60 days following the termination of the Producer Period (the “Producer Release Condition”). The Producer Release shall not be effective unless and until executed by Employer; provided, however, that execution or non-execution by Employer of the Producer Release shall not affect whether or not the Producer Release Condition has been satisfied. If the maximum period in which the Producer Release may be executed (with all periods for revocation set forth therein having expired) ends in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Producer Termination Date occurs, then the Producer Release Condition

shall be deemed not to have been satisfied until the later of (i) the first business day in the year following the year in which the Producer Termination Date occurs or (ii) the date on which the Producer Release Condition is satisfied (without regard to this sentence).

If, at the time any payments or benefits are scheduled to be paid to you pursuant to paragraph 12(h)(iii) or 12(i)(iii), as applicable, you have not satisfied the Advisor Release Condition or the Producer Release Condition, as applicable, then any such payments and benefits shall be held and accumulated without interest, and shall be paid to you on the first regular payroll date following the effective date of the Advisor Release or the Producer Release, as applicable.

Your failure or refusal to sign and deliver the Advisor Release or the Producer Release, as applicable, or your revocation of an executed and delivered Advisor Release or Producer Release, as applicable, in accordance with applicable laws, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in the forfeiture of the payments and benefits under paragraph 12(h)(iii) or 12(i)(iii), as applicable.

(l) The material terms set forth in the letter agreement between you and Employer dated December 11, 2014 are hereby modified such that the initial annual overhead reimbursement amount specified in Section A.2 of Exhibit A shall be increased by fifty percent (50%).

(m) Nothing in this paragraph 12 shall create any rights that are duplicative with any rights set forth in any other paragraph of this Agreement.

13. No Mitigation. You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall any reduction of such amounts be made for any other compensation that you earn from a subsequent employer (including self-employment).

14. Section 317 and 507 of the Federal Communications Act. You represent that you have not accepted or given nor will you accept or give, directly or indirectly, any money, services or other valuable consideration from or to anyone other than Employer for the inclusion of any matter as part of any film, television program or other production produced, distributed and/or developed by Employer and/or any of Employer’s affiliates.

15. Equal Opportunity Employer; Employer Business Conduct Statement. You acknowledge that Employer is an equal opportunity employer. You agree that you will comply with Employer policies regarding employment practices and with applicable federal, state and local laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, age, sex or disability. In addition, you agree that you will comply with Employer’s Supplemental Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers and Employer’s Business Conduct Statement.

16. Indemnification.

(a) If you are made a party, are threatened to be made a party to, or otherwise receive any other legal process in, any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that you are or were a director, officer or employee of Employer or are or were serving at the request of Employer as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is your alleged action in an official capacity while serving as director, officer, member, employee or agent, Employer shall indemnify you and hold you harmless to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by Employer’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or, if greater, by the laws of the State of Delaware, against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and any cost and fees incurred in enforcing your rights to indemnification or contribution) reasonably incurred or suffered by you in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue even though you have ceased to be a director, member, employee or agent of Employer or other entity and shall inure to the benefit of your heirs, executors and administrators. Employer shall advance to you all reasonable costs and expenses that you incur in connection with a Proceeding within twenty (20) days after its receipt of a written request for such advance. Such request shall include an undertaking by you to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that you are not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses.

(b) Neither the failure of Employer (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of you is proper because you have met the applicable standard of conduct, nor a determination by Employer (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that you have not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption or inference that you have not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(c) To the extent that Employer maintains officers’ and directors’ liability insurance, you will be covered under such policy subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth therein.

(d) The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive the expiration or termination of your employment and/or this Agreement.

17. Notices. All notices required to be given hereunder shall be given in writing, by personal delivery or by mail at the respective addresses of the parties hereto set forth above, or at such other address as may be designated in writing by either party, and in the case of Employer, to the attention of the Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer of Employer. Any notice given by mail shall be deemed to have been given three days following such mailing. Copies of all notices to you shall be given to

18. Assignment and Successors. This is an Agreement for the performance of personal services by you and may not be assigned by you or Employer except that Employer may assign this agreement to any affiliate of Employer or any successor in interest to Employer, provided such assignee assumes all of the obligations of Employer hereunder.

19. New York Law. This Agreement and all matters or issues collateral thereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof or to those of any other jurisdiction which, in either case, could cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

20. Disputes. Any disputes between the parties to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in New York, New York under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association, before a panel of three (3) arbitrators, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes promulgated by the Association. Each party shall select an arbitrator and the two (2) arbitrators shall select a third and these three arbitrators shall form the panel. The decision in such arbitration shall be final and conclusive on the parties and judgment upon such decision may be entered into in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Costs of the arbitration or litigation, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of both parties, shall be borne by Employer if you prevail on at least one of the material issues that is the subject of the arbitration. If you do not so prevail, you and Employer shall equally share costs of the arbitration or litigation other than attorneys’ fees, and each of you and Employer shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall prevent Employer from seeking equitable relief in court as provided for in paragraph 8(i) or shall prevent either party from seeking equitable relief in court in aid of arbitration under applicable law.

21. No Implied Contract. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any obligation on Employer to renew this Agreement or any portion thereof. The parties intend to be bound only upon execution of a written agreement and no negotiation, exchange of draft or partial performance shall be deemed to imply an agreement. Neither the continuation of employment nor any other conduct shall be deemed to imply a continuing agreement upon the expiration of this Agreement.

22. Entire Understanding; Amendments. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter herein contained, and supersedes the Prior Agreement, provided, however, that no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to adversely affect any of your rights with respect to equity awards granted on or prior to the Start Date pursuant to the terms of the Prior Agreement. This Agreement can be amended only by a writing signed by both parties hereto.

23. Waivers. Waiver by either you or by Employer of any breach or default by the other party of any of the terms of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach or default, whether similar to or different from the breach or default waived. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be implied from any course of dealing between the parties hereto or from any failure by either party hereto to assert its or his rights hereunder on any occasion or series of occasions.

24. Void Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement, as applied to either party or to any circumstances, shall be adjudged by a court to be void or unenforceable, the same shall be deemed stricken from this Agreement and shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

25. Deductions and Withholdings, Payment of Deferred Compensation. All amounts payable under this Agreement shall be paid less deductions and income and payroll tax withholdings as may be required under applicable law and any benefits and perquisites provided to you under this Agreement shall be taxable to you as may be required under applicable law.

26. Section 409A. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the compensation arrangements under this Agreement be in full compliance with Section 409A. This Agreement shall be construed in a manner to give effect to such intention. In no event whatsoever (including, but not limited to as a result of this paragraph 26 or otherwise) shall Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates be liable for any tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on you under Section 409A. Neither Employer nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates has any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold you harmless from any or all such taxes, interest or penalties, or liability for any damages related thereto. You acknowledge that you have been advised to obtain independent legal, tax or other counsel in connection with Section 409A.

1.	Determination of the Number of Shares to be Granted:

(a) (i) On June 30, 2019, subject to your continued employment with Employer through such date (subject to paragraphs 1(b), 1(c), 1(d), 2 and 3 of this Schedule A), the Compensation Committee will determine the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be granted to you as the 2015 Performance Award based on the performance of the Class B Common Stock over the period beginning January 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2019 (the “Performance Period”).

(ii) Within thirty (30) days following the end of the Performance Period, the Compensation Committee will certify the “Final Stock Price” (as defined below) that was achieved during the Performance Period, expressed as a percentage of the “Initial Stock Price” (as defined below). The number of shares of Class B Common Stock earned based on such percentage is referred to herein as the “Initial Performance Shares.” If the Final Stock Price for the Performance Period falls at an intermediate point between percentages shown in the table in Part A above, the number of Initial Performance Shares shall be interpolated on a straight-line basis between the respective numbers of shares earned at such percentages. Fractional shares will be rounded to the next higher whole share.

(iii) Once the Compensation Committee has determined the number of Initial Performance Shares, such number shall be divided into thirds with one-third allocated to each of the 2016, 2017 and 2018 calendar years (each, a “Performance Year”). With respect to each such Performance Year, the number of Initial Performance Shares allocated to such year shall be adjusted based on the Company’s degree of achievement against the PRSU Performance Goal established for the Performance Year as reflected in the table in Part B above. For avoidance of doubt, the portion of the Initial Performance Shares allocated to any Performance Year shall be increased or decreased by no more than 10%. Following adjustment for the Company’s performance for each Performance Year, the aggregate performance-adjusted number of Initial Performance Shares (the “Final Performance Shares”) shall be granted to you as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following June 30, 2019, subject to paragraph 10(d)(v) of the Agreement and paragraphs 1(b), 1(c), 1(d), 2 and 3 of this Schedule A.

(b) In the event your employment is terminated in accordance with paragraph 10(b) or 10(c) prior to June 30, 2019, you shall remain eligible to receive shares of Class B Common Stock as the 2015 Performance Award following the conclusion of the Performance Period, determined in accordance with paragraph 1(a) of this Schedule A. Shares of Class B Common Stock to be granted pursuant to this paragraph 1(b) shall be granted to you as soon as practicable following June 30, 2019, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such date, subject to paragraphs 10(d)(iv) and 10(d)(v) of the Agreement, as applicable, and paragraphs 1(d), 2 and 3 of this Schedule A.

(c) In the event your employment terminates prior to June 30, 2019 due to your incapacity in accordance with paragraph 9 or your death in accordance with

(ii) The Final Performance Shares shall be granted as follows:

(A) If the Going Private Transaction is a permissible distribution event under Section 409A, then the Final Performance Shares shall be granted to you immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of the Going Private Transaction; or

Any amount of the Cash Performance Award that you earn (the “Earned Award”) shall be paid to you in cash, less applicable deductions and withholdings, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following June 30, 2021, subject to paragraph 10(d)(v) of the Agreement and paragraphs 4, 5, 6, and 7 of this Schedule D.

Threshold	$12,945	$20

(B) If the Going Private Transaction is not a permissible distribution event under Section 409A, then the Earned Amount shall be

7. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under law.
