A.SBG, through its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including but not limited to Xxxxxxxx Television Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“STG”), owns or operates television broadcast stations and invests in and/or manages some industry related and non-industry related businesses.

B.Employee was previously employed by SBG as its Treasurer, and is currently serving as its Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer.

C.On or about August 25,2017, the Company and the Employee entered into a new employment Agreement (the “August 25, 2017 Agreement”), which contained a mutual mistake of fact in Section 8.1 stating the Longevity Effective Date as December 8, 2018 (the “Erroneous Date”) instead of December 8, 2023 (the “Correct Date”).

D.Except for the change of the Longevity Effective Date in Section 8.1 from the Erroneous Date to the Correct Date, all provisions and Sections of this agreement are identical to the provisions and Sections of the August 25, 2017 Agreement.

E.The parties hereto desire to amend and restate any and all understandings and agreements between them that preceded the Effective Date and the date of this Agreement and that relate in any manner to the terms and conditions of Employee’s employment.

D. SBG has adopted an unfunded bonus arrangement, which is open only to a select group of management or highly compensated employees. Employee is, at the time of execution of this Agreement, a member of such class of employees.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Duties.

1.1. Duties Upon Employment. Upon the terms and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Employee will continue to be employed by SBG as its Chief Financial Officer. In such capacity, Employee will:

(b) have such responsibilities and perform such duties as are customarily assigned to a chief financial officer of a public company of comparable size and as may from time to time be established and assigned by the SBG Board, the SBG CEO, and/or the SBG Executive Chairman.

During the Employment Term, Employee’s services under this Agreement shall be performed principally in the Baltimore, Maryland Metropolitan Area, or such other location(s) as may from time to time be designated by the appropriate official at SBG. The parties acknowledge and agree that the nature of Employee’s duties hereunder shall, in any event, require reasonable travel from time to time consistent with travel obligations inherent with the title, duties, and responsibilities of the Employee or as may be from time to time reasonably directed by the SBG Board, the SBG CEO, and/or the SBG Executive Chairman.

2. Term.

2.1. Term. The term of Employee's employment under this Agreement (the "Employment Term") shall begin on the Effective Date and continue until employment is terminated in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Employee be bound by, or obligated to enter into, any non-competition provisions referred to in this Section 5.2 that extend beyond twelve (12) months from the date of termination of Employee's employment hereunder or whose scope extends the scope of the non-competition provisions set forth in Section 5.2(a) of this Agreement.

(e) The twelve (12) month time period referred to in this Section 5.2 of this Agreement shall be tolled on a day-for-day basis for each day during which Employee participates in any activity in violation of Section 5.2 of this Agreement so that Employee shall be restricted from engaging in the conduct referred to in Section 5.2 of this Agreement for a full twelve (12) months.

This does not, in any way, restrict or impede a party hereto from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation or order. Each party shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to the other party.

5.4. Acknowledgment. Employee acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement) is a condition of Employee being employed by SBG, Employee having access to Confidential Information, being eligible to receive the items referred to in Section 3 of this Agreement, Employee's advancement at SBG, and Employee being eligible to receive other special benefits at SBG; and further, that this Agreement is entered into, and is reasonably necessary, to protect the SBG Entities'

investment in Employee's training and development, and to protect the goodwill, trade secrets, business practices, and other business interests of the SBG Entities.

6. Remedies.

6.1. Injunctive Relief. The covenants and obligations contained in Section 5 of this Agreement relate to matters which are of a special, unique, and extraordinary character, and a violation of any of the terms of such Section will cause irreparable injury to the SBG Entities, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Therefore, SBG Entities will be entitled to an injunction, a restraining order, or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction (subject to such terms and conditions that the court determines appropriate) restraining any violation or threatened violation of any of such terms by Employee and such other persons as the court orders. The parties acknowledge and agree that judicial action, rather than arbitration, is appropriate with respect to the enforcement of the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement. The forum for any litigation hereunder shall be the Circuit Court of Baltimore County or the United States District Court (Northern Division) sitting in Baltimore, Maryland.

6.2. Cumulative Rights and Remedies. Rights and remedies provided by Section 5 of this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies any of the SBG Entities may have at law or equity.

7. Absence of Restrictions. Employee warrants and represents that Employee is not a party to or bound by any agreement, contract, or understanding, whether of employment or otherwise, with any third person or entity which would in any way restrict or prohibit Employee from undertaking or performing employment with SBG in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Any Special Longevity Bonus that is payable under this Section 8 shall be paid in a single lump sum payment (the "Special Longevity Bonus") as soon as is administratively practical, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Earned Bonus Date; provided, however, that if (a) the Special Longevity Bonus is determined by SBG to be a payment of deferred compensation that is subject to section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and (b) any payment of such Special Longevity Bonus

would coincide with Employee’s “separation from service” as determined by SBG in accordance with section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and (iii) Employee is a “specified employee” as determined by SBG in accordance with section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, then the payment of the Special Longevity Bonus shall be made in accordance with Section 11.14 of this Agreement.

Employee acknowledges that, by reason of being employed by SBG at the relevant times, to the extent permitted by law, all of the Work Product consisting of copyrightable subject matter is "work made for hire" as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101 and such copyrights are therefore owned by SBG. To the extent that the foregoing does not apply, Employee hereby irrevocably assigns to SBG, for no additional consideration, Employee's entire right, title and interest in and to all Work Product and Intellectual Property Rights

therein, including the right to xxx, counterclaim and recover for all past, present and future infringement, misappropriation or dilution thereof, and all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to reduce or limit SBG's rights, title or interest in any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights so as to be less in any respect than that SBG would have had in the absence of this Agreement.

9.3 Further Assurances; Power of Attorney. During and after her employment, Employee agrees to reasonably cooperate with SBG to (a) apply for, obtain, perfect and transfer to the SBG the Work Product as well as an Intellectual Property Right in the Work Product in any jurisdiction in the world; and (b) maintain, protect and enforce the same, including, without limitation, executing and delivering to SBG any and all applications, oaths, declarations, affidavits, waivers, assignments and other documents and instruments as shall be requested by SBG. Employee hereby irrevocably grants SBG power of attorney to execute and deliver any such documents on Employee's behalf in her name and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to transfer the Work Product to SBG and further the transfer, issuance, prosecution and maintenance of all Intellectual Property Rights therein, to the full extent permitted by law, if Employee does not promptly cooperate with SBG's request (without limiting the rights SBG shall have in such circumstances by operation of law). The power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall not be affected by Employee's subsequent incapacity.

9.4. No License. Employee understands that this Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, grant Employee any license or right of any nature with respect to any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights or any Confidential Information, materials, software or other tools made available to him by SBG.

10. Security. Employee agrees and covenants (a) to comply with all SBG security policies and procedures as in force from time to time including without limitation those regarding computer equipment, telephone systems, voicemail systems, facilities access, monitoring, key cards, access codes, SBG intranet, SBG internet, social media and instant messaging systems, computer systems, e-mail systems, computer networks, document storage systems, software, data security, encryption, firewalls, passwords, and any and all other SBG resources and communication technologies (collectively, the "Facilities Information Technology and Access Resources"); (b) not to access or use any Facilities and Information Technology Resources except as authorized by the SBG; and (iii) not to access or use any Facilities and Information Technology Resources in any manner after the termination of Employee's employment by the SBG, whether termination is voluntary or involuntary. Employee agrees to notify SBG promptly in the event she learns of any violation of the foregoing by others, or of any other misappropriation or unauthorized access, use, reproduction, or tampering with any Facilities and Information Technology Access Resources or other SBG Entity property or materials by others.

11. Miscellaneous.

11.1. Attorneys' Fees. In any action, litigation, or proceeding (collectively, "Action") between the parties arising out of or in relation to this Agreement, the prevailing party in the Action will be awarded, in addition to any damages, injunctions, or other relief, and without

regard to whether such Action is prosecuted to final appeal, such party's costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

11.4. Assignment. SBG may not assign, transfer, or delegate SBG’s rights or obligations under this Agreement and any attempt to do so is void; provided, SBG may assign this Agreement to any subsidiary of SBG, any parent of SBG; provided such assignment shall not relieve SBG of its obligations hereunder, and Employee hereby consents and agrees to be bound by any such assignment by SBG. Employee may not assign, transfer, or delegate Employee's rights or obligations under this Agreement and any attempt to do so is void. This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns, and the executors, administrators, and other legal representatives of Employee. No other third parties, other than SBG Entities, shall have, or are intended to have, any rights under this Agreement.

11.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts.

11.6. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND (REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT

MIGHT BE APPLICABLE UNDER PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW) AS TO ALL MATTERS (INCLUDING VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, EFFECT, AND PERFORMANCE.)

11.7. Severability. If the scope of any provision contained in this Agreement is too broad to permit enforcement of such provision to its full extent, then such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and Employee hereby consents that such scope may be reformed or modified accordingly and enforced as reformed or modified in any proceeding brought to enforce such provision. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision, to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement, and shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

11.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of Employee and SBG regarding Employee's employment by SBG. This Agreement amends, supersedes, and replaces all prior agreements and understandings, written or verbal, formal or informal, among the parties with respect to the employment of Employee by SBG, including the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, amendment, modification, or discharge is sought. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is not intended to supersede, amend, replace or in any way effect any Restricted Stock Award Agreement between SBG and Employee, all of which agreements shall remain in full force and effect without modification thereto.

11.9. Interpretation. This Agreement is being entered into among competent and experienced businesspersons (who have had an opportunity to consult with counsel), and any ambiguous language in this Agreement will not necessarily be construed against any particular party as the drafter of such language.

11.10. Continuing Obligations. The provisions contained in the following Sections of this Agreement will continue and survive the termination of this Agreement: Sections 4.1, 4.2, 5, 6, 8 and 9.

11.11. Taxes. SBG may withhold from any payments under this Agreement all applicable federal, state, city, or other taxes required by applicable law to be so withheld.

11.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. SBG and Employee do hereby jointly and severally waive their right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding to which both are parties arising out of, or in any manner pertaining to, this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that this waiver constitutes a waiver of the right to trial by jury of all claims against all parties to such actions or proceedings. This waiver is knowingly, voluntarily, and willingly made by Employee and SBG, and each represents and warrants to the other that no representations of facts or opinion have been made by any person to induce this waiver or to in any way modify or nullify

its effect. Still further, Employee and SBG each represents to the other that each has been represented by counsel selected by such party to review or prepare this Agreement or, if not represented, that such party has been advised, and has had the opportunity, to seek the advice of independent legal counsel to review this Agreement prior to signing this Agreement.

11.13. Exclusion from ERISA and Retirement and Fringe Benefit Computation. Employee and SBG do hereby jointly and severally acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall not be regarded as an “employee benefit plan” under 29 U.S.C. § 1002(3); provided, however, that if this Agreement is ever regarded as an “employee benefit plan” under 29 U.S.C. § 1002(3), Employee and SBG acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall be regarded as a plan which is unfunded and is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees under 29 U.S.C. § 1051(2). Unless specifically provided otherwise pursuant to a separate plan or agreement, any payment of the Special Longevity Bonus under this Agreement shall not be taken into account as “wages,” “salary” or “compensation” in determining eligibility or benefits under (i) any pension, retirement, profit sharing or other qualified or nonqualified plan of deferred compensation, (ii) any employee welfare or fringe benefit plan, including, but not limited to, group life insurance and disability, or (iii) any form of extraordinary pay, including, but not limited to, bonuses, sick pay, and vacation pay.

11.14. Section 409A Compliance. This Agreement may not be amended in any way that results in a violation of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code or any regulatory or other guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service thereunder. In particular, except to the extent permitted by regulatory or other guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service under section 409A(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, no amendment of this Agreement shall in any way (including a change in form of distribution) result in acceleration of the timing or amount of any payment (or any portion thereof) of deferred compensation that is due under this Agreement. An amendment that permits acceleration for any one or more of the reasons that constitute exceptions to the prohibition on acceleration of payments, pursuant to Treas. Regs. § 1.409A-3(j) (as presently written or as hereafter amended, finalized, replaced or supplemented), shall not be deemed to be in violation of this Section 11.14. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of any Earned Bonus Date, as defined in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, Employee is regarded as a “specified employee” within the meaning of section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, she may not receive any payment(s) of “deferred compensation” upon any “separation from service” as determined by SBG in accordance with section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, unless such payment(s) are made on or after the date that is six months after the date of such separation from service (or if earlier, the date of death of such specified employee.) Instead, any such payments to which such specified employee would otherwise be entitled during the first six (6) months following such separation from service shall be accumulated and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the date of separation from service.

11.15. No Right to Employment. Nothing herein contained is intended to or shall be construed as conferring upon Employee any right to continue in the employ of SBG.

11.16. Enforcement. The location of any arbitration regarding this Agreement shall be Baltimore County, Maryland. The forum for any litigation involving this Agreement shall be the Circuit Court of Baltimore County or the United States District Court (Northern Division) sitting in Baltimore, Maryland. In the event that either party institutes an action to enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses (including a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees and all expert witness fees) incurred by the prevailing party in connection with any such action as determined by the finder of fact in such proceeding.

11.17. Independent Legal Counsel. The undersigned understand and acknowledge that this Agreement was prepared by outside counsel for SBG. The undersigned understand that Employee and SBG may be adverse to each other regarding terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The undersigned acknowledge that counsel to SBG has not represented Employee in connection with the preparation of this Agreement nor provided Employee with any legal or other advice in connection with this Agreement and that Employee has been advised and urged to seek independent professional legal, tax, and financial advice in connection with deciding to enter into this Agreement.

11.18. Arbitration and Extension of Time. Except as specifically provided in Section 6 of this Agreement, any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be determined and settled by arbitration in Baltimore County, Maryland in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The expenses of the arbitration shall be borne by the non-prevailing party to the arbitration, including, but not limited to, the cost of experts, evidence, and legal counsel, as determined by the arbitrator(s) in any such proceeding. Whenever any action is required to be taken under this Agreement within a specified period of time and the taking of such action is materially affected by a matter submitted to arbitration, such period shall automatically be extended by the number of days, plus ten (10) that are taken for the determination of that matter by the arbitrator(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree to use their best reasonable efforts to minimize the costs and frequency of arbitration hereunder.

11.19 Payment to Beneficiaries and Beneficiary Designation.

(a) In the event of Employee’s death at a time when Employee is entitled to receive but has not yet received any cash payments pursuant to this Agreement, any such remaining payments shall be paid to Employee’s beneficiaries.

(b) Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Employee shall designate one or more beneficiaries to receive the cash payments referred to in Section 11.19(a) of this Agreement. Such beneficiary designation shall be set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and may be modified by Employee at any time, and from time to time, by execution of a new Exhibit A. Each designation of beneficiary will revoke all prior designations by Employee.

(c) If the primary beneficiaries named by Employee die before Employee, and there are no living contingent beneficiaries named by Employee, SBG shall direct distribution of the cash payments payable pursuant to this Agreement to the legal representative of the estate of Employee.

11.20 Payments to Minors. If any person to whom any cash payment is due under this Agreement is a minor, or is reasonably found by SBG to be incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability, SBG shall have the right to cause such payments becoming due to such person to be made to another for her benefit, without responsibility of SBG to see to the application of the payment of any such payments, and such payment will constitute a complete discharge of the liabilities of SBG with respect thereto.

11.21 Publicity. Employee hereby irrevocably consents to customary uses and displays, by any SBG entity and its agents, representatives and licensees (consistent with SBG’s use of similar information of other executives of SBG), of Employee's name, voice, likeness, image, appearance and biographical information in, on or in connection with any pictures, photographs, audio and video recordings, digital images, websites, television programs and advertising, other advertising and publicity, sales and marketing brochures, books, magazines, other publications, CDs, DVDs, tapes and all other printed and electronic forms and media throughout the world, at any time during the period of her employment by the SBG, for all legitimate commercial and business purposes of SBG ("Permitted Uses") without further consent from or royalty, payment or other compensation to Employee. Employee hereby forever waives and releases SBG and its directors, officers, employees and agents from any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, costs, expenses and liability of any kind, arising under any legal or equitable theory whatsoever at any time during or after the period of her employment by SBG, arising directly or indirectly from SBG and its agents', representatives' and licensees' exercise of their rights in connection with any Permitted Uses.
