Further, you acknowledge and reaffirm your confidentiality and nondisclosure obligations set forth in any previous agreement you may have with the Company, which survive your separation from employment with the Company. You understand and agree that, to the extent permitted by law and except as otherwise permitted by paragraph 4 below, the terms and contents of this Agreement, including the Separation Payment, and any other benefits provided herein, and the contents of the negotiations and discussions resulting in this Agreement shall be maintained as confidential by you and shall not be disclosed except in the following circumstances: (a) you may disclose the terms of this Agreement to your immediate family, so long as such family member agrees to be bound by the confidential nature of this Agreement, (b) you may disclose the terms of this Agreement to (i) your financial and tax advisors so long as such advisors agreeing to be bound by the confidential nature of this Agreement, (ii) taxing authorities if requested by such authorities, or (iii) your legal counsel; and (c) you may disclose the terms of this Agreement pursuant to the order of a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, or for purposes of securing enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Agreement should that ever be necessary.

An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order."

disparaging, derogatory, or defamatory statements regarding you.

When asked, outside of the context of a request for a reference, about your departure from the Company, both you and the Company shall indicate that you voluntarily resigned from your employment.

6.Continuing Obligations - You understand and agree that you remain subject to any and all continuing confidentiality, non-competition and/or non-solicitation obligations that you may have pursuant to any previous agreement with the Company.

The Company will reimburse you for the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses you may incur in connection with your cooperation under this paragraph 7 consistent with its existing expense policy. To the extent permitted by law and except as otherwise permitted by paragraph 4 above, you further agree that you will notify the Company promptly in the event that you are served with a subpoena (other than a subpoena issued by a government agency), or in the event that you are asked to provide a third party (other than a government agency) with information concerning any actual or potential complaint or claim against the Company.

8.Return of Company Property - You confirm that by the end of the Consulting Period, you will return to the Company all keys, documents, files, records (and copies thereof), recordings, equipment (including, but not limited to, computer hardware, software and printers, flash drives and storage devices, wireless handheld devices, cellular phones, tablets, etc.), Company identification, and any other Company-owned property in your possession or control.

10.Validity - Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid, the validity of the remaining parts, terms, or provisions shall not be affected thereby and said illegal or invalid part, term, or provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this Agreement, except if the separation payment provided for in paragraph 2 is declared to be or determined to be illegal or invalid, the entire agreement shall be invalid.

4

Such Proprietary Information shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following items and information relating to the following items: (a) all intellectual property, trade secrets and proprietary rights of any of the Company Parties (including, without limitation, the Intellectual Property), (b) computer codes and instructions, processing systems and techniques, inputs and outputs (regardless of the media on which stored or located) and hardware and software configurations, designs, architecture and interfaces, (c) business research, studies, procedures and costs, (d) financial data, (e) distribution methods, (f) marketing data, methods, plans and efforts, (g) the identities of actual and prospective suppliers, (h) the terms of contracts and agreements with, the needs and requirements of, and any Company Party's course of dealing with, actual or prospective suppliers, (i) personnel information, (j) customer and vendor credit information, and (k) information received from third parties subject to obligations of non-disclosure or non-use.

10.Reports to Government Entities. Nothing in this Agreement, including but not limited to the provisions governing Proprietary Information, restricts or prohibits Consultant from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiries from, providing testimony before, providing Proprietary Information to, reporting possible violations of any law or regulation to, or filing a claim or assisting with an investigation directly with a self-regulatory authority or a government agency or entity, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, and any Inspector General of any agency, or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any federal, state, or local law or regulation. Consultant does not need the prior authorization of the Company to engage in conduct protected by this Section, and Consultant does not need to notify the Company that Consultant did engage in such conduct. Please take notice that federal law provides criminal and civil immunity to federal and state claims for trade secret misappropriation to individuals who disclose a trade secret to their attorney(s), a court, or a government official in certain, confidential circumstances that are set forth at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1833(b)(1) and 1833(b)(2), related to the reporting or investigation of a suspected violation of the law, or in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of the law.

11.Conflicts of Interest. The Company is retaining Consultant on a non-exclusive basis and Consultant is free to engage in or simultaneously perform services for other companies, subject to the restrictions set forth herein. Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant is free to enter into this Agreement. Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant is not bound by any contract or agreement, nor will the Consultant enter into any contract or agreement during the Term, which would in any manner prohibit or restrict the Consultant's performance of services under this Agreement or compliance with any of the terms of this Agreement.

Consultant further represents and warrants that Consultant has no contract to provide consulting services to competitors of Company similar to those detailed in the Scope of the Engagement. Further, Consultant promises that Consultant shall not, during the Term, perform for competitors of Company consulting services similar to those detailed in the Scope of the Engagement. For the purposes of this Agreement, "competitors of Company" shall mean any entity engaged in the radio broadcasting media business and such other related services. In connection with the performance of the services hereunder, Consultant shall not use or disclose the confidential or proprietary information of any third party in a manner that would constitute a violation of law or breach of contract. The Consultant will notify the Company of potential conflicts of interest which may arise from other business.

12.Remedies. Consultant acknowledges that any breach by Consultant, willfully or otherwise, of the Sections 8, 9 or 11 of this Agreement will cause continuing and irreparable injury to the Company Parties for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Consultant shall not, in any action or proceeding to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, assert the claim or defense that such an adequate remedy at law exists. In the event of any such breach or threatened breach by Consultant of Sections 8, 9 or 11, the Company Parties shall be entitled to injunctive or other similar equitable relief in any court, without any requirement that a bond or other security be posted, and this Agreement shall not in any way limit remedies of law or in equity otherwise available to the Company Parties.

13.Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate on October 31, 2023 (the "Term"), unless otherwise extended upon mutual agreement of the parties.

This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed in one or more counterparts by the parties.
