Exhibit 10.4   Settlement Agreement dated May 27, 2005 among Roger Parry and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc.
Roger Parry
27 Edwardes Square
London
W8 6HH
27th May 2005
Dear Roger,
This letter confirms our agreement regarding your status with Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (the “Company”) effective June 1, 2005 – May 31, 2009. This letter agreement (“Letter”) supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, except as stated in this Letter. All the terms of our relationship are set forth in this Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, save as set out in this Letter, your Service Agreement shall no longer continue in force or have any effect.
By signing a copy of the waiver at Schedule 1 which is attached to this Letter on the date of this Letter you confirm you have no claims whatsoever against the Company or any Associated Company for wrongful or unfair dismissal. You also undertake that you will sign a copy of the waiver at Schedule 2 following the termination of the period of Non Executive Employment referred to below (“NEE”), waiving any claims which you may have at the termination of the period of NEE against the Company or any Associated Company. You should note that the terms of this Letter are subject to you agreeing to execute Schedule 1 at the date of this Letter, and Schedule 2 at the end of the period of NEE, provided that the Company materially complies with its material obligations under this letter.
For the 12 months commencing June 1st 2005 until May 31st 2006 you agree that you will continue to work for the Company, but you will do so under revised contractual terms. The new details are described below under the heading of Modified Employment (“ME”).
Immediately after the end of the period of ME, you agree that for the 36 months from June 1st 2006 until May 31st 2009 you will work as a Non Executive Director for the Company for a period of NEE.
Modified Employment (“ME”) : June 1st 2005 to May 31st 2006
During the period of ME, you will continue to receive exactly the same compensation package as is current now — your base salary, car allowance, Term Assurance Policy (Scottish Widows No ###-###-####) and Executive Personal Pension Scheme (Merrill Lynch) for the remainder of calendar year 2005 and the first five months of 2006, as allowed by UK law and our benefits plans. All these are fixed amounts and are paid and taxed at source as salary. For the record, subject to the deduction of tax and national insurance, your compensation package (“the ME Terms”) will be as follows:
    a base salary at the rate of £37,493.75 per month;
 
    car benefit at the rate of £3,124.50 per month;
 
    contributions to the Term Assurance Policy at the rate of £277.07 per month;
 
    contributions to the Executive Personal Pension Scheme will continue at the rate of 20% of cash compensation per annum (£1,760 per month), up to the approved UK Government “Earnings Cap”.

 


 

    You confirm that you have already waived your rights to receive medical insurance benefits from the company and that you will continue to waive these rights for the entire period covered by this letter.
 
    Similarly, pension contributions will continue at the same rate (£1,760 per month), despite the abolition of the Earnings Cap as from 6 April 2006.
In the year 2006 for the 5 months which you will be employed under the ME Terms, the salary and allowances will continue at the same rate as stated above so, to be clear, even if there is an inflation pay rise given to UK employees, you will not receive this for the 5 months of 2006.
Your bonus for 2005 will continue on exactly the current agreed basis, as stated in the attached bonus plan of the Company (attached as Exhibit “A”). You will be paid a percentage of your base salary linked to the growth of OIBAN and OIBDAN of what is currently CCI. However, we agree that the minimum bonus that you will be paid for the period which you will be working under the ME Terms during 2005 will be £200,000. It is recognised that you will have no effective management control of the business from 1st June 2005 onwards and so your ability to influence the bonus is effectively zero.
For the 5 months which you will be working under the ME Terms in 2006, your bonus will be calculated as being 5/12 of the bonus paid for the calendar year 2005 (i.e. a minimum of £83,333). For simplicity, this bonus will be paid in June 2006.
Your FURBS (Non-Approved retirement benefits scheme) arrangements for 2005 and the first 5 months of 2006 will remain exactly as they are now but the FURBS benefit will end on May 31st 2006, subject to UK law.
For 2006 the final pension and FURBS payments will be made in June 2006. Your FURBS plan ceases on May 31st 2006.
During the period of ME, Clear Channel will continue to provide you with office space at Cluny Mews and with the services of Zarina Khan as your assistant. She will report to you and follow your directions and support you in your Clear Channel projects and any additional Company duties as you define. It is the intention that you would remain in your existing office to minimise disruption, but if the needs of the business demand it, you will agree to move to another part of the site subject to any alternative office accommodation being reasonably suitable for your purposes. You will have no other employees reporting to you. At the end of May 2006, it is probable that Zarina will be made redundant. In the event that Zarina chooses to leave Clear Channel before the end of the period of ME, you will not be entitled to the appointment of a new assistant but the company will use its best efforts to supply assistant services from other existing employees where these services are required for Clear Channel duties.
In the event that Clear Channel chooses to move from Cluny Mews during the period of ME, the company will use its best efforts to provide you with alternative, suitable, office accommodation but this may not be possible.
During the period of ME, the Company will continue to supply you with computer equipment and a mobile phone/ Blackberry but all personal telephone calls not on Clear Channel business will be re-charged to you. At the end of the period of ME, this equipment will have to be returned to the Company unless it agrees to sell such equipment to you. All other Company property will be returned to the Company at the end of the ME period.
During the period of ME:

 


 

  You will be entitled to use the title “Chairman, Clear Channel International”. However, you do not have any authority to act on behalf of the Company and you agree that you will not do so. You will not be authorised to commit the Company to any contract or expenditure unless there is prior, explicit, written approval from the President of Clear Channel Outdoor.
  You will agree to use your best efforts to support and assist the Company in its preparation for its IPO. This will include reviewing documents and participating in meetings. Under the terms of this Letter you must make yourself available for work for a total of ten days during 2005. You will use your reasonable efforts to provide additional days of work if required and if mutually agreed with myself. Any legitimate expenses you incur in pursuit of theses authorised duties will be reimbursed by the Company on production of receipts consistent with past practices.
  You will also be required to continue as a member of the Board of Clear Media in China and to use your best efforts to ensure good working relations between Clear Media and Clear Channel. Any fees that are paid to you as Deputy Chairman of Clear Media will be paid to you directly by Clear Media. You will make yourself available for a maximum of 8 days in 2005 and a maximum of 5 days in 2006 for these duties. If mutually agreed between you and I you will provide additional days. During the ME period you will provide myself and the President of Clear Channel Outdoor with a written monthly report on progress in China and will use your best efforts to attend China Board meetings in person or by telephone. Any expenses you incur in connection with participating in these Board meetings will be reimbursed by Clear Channel, consistent with past practices.
  Apart from the two exceptions above relating to the IPO and to China, in carrying out your duties you will not be required to attend the Clear Channel offices, nor to participate in any meetings, nor to carry out any tasks on behalf of Clear Channel unless this is by mutual agreement between yourself and the President of Clear Channel Outdoor.
  It is the intention of the Company that you may be asked to carry out certain tasks for Clear Channel Outdoor such as investigating acquisitions or new contracts, subject to your agreement to carry out such tasks. Where these tasks are mutually agreed and approved in advance, the Company will reimburse you for all legitimate expenses incurred by you in pursuit of these agreed tasks. You will not be entitled to any other type of expense reimbursement other than for the approved projects.
As Chairman of Clear Channel International you will report to me in my capacity as Chief Executive Officer on a monthly basis as stated above, but you will not be required to carry out any duties whatsoever, save for the two exceptions stated above and except as mutually agreed. In respect of other mutually agreed projects, you will report directly to the President of Clear Channel Outdoor and follow his instructions.
Non Executive Employment (“NEE”): June 1st 2006 to May 31st 2009
On or before May 31st 2006 you will be issued with a formal Letter of Appointment as a Non Executive Director/Part-Time Employee of Clear Channel International Ltd or some other company within the Clear Channel group. As a Non Executive Director/ Part-Time Employee you will receive a remuneration of £2,000 per month, subject to deductions at source for income tax and national insurance contributions, for a period of 36 months. You are not eligible for a bonus during NEE.
During the NEE period you will not be provided with office space or secretarial support. You will not have the use of a Company telephone. You will not be able to claim any expenses except for sums authorised in advance in writing in connection with mutually agreed projects. During this

 


 

employment you will continue to receive the Executive Personal Pension Scheme contribution from the Company (20% of cash compensation i.e. £400 a month) and the contributions to the Term Assurance Policy (£277.07 per month), subject at all times to UK law. You will not receive the FURBS payments nor any other benefits or allowances of any sort.
To facilitate your ability to provide services during the NEE period the Company will continue to provide (at the Company’s cost) use of a Company e mail address, a lap top computer and a broadband connection to your home. You will not have access to any part of the Company’s computer network (apart from your email box).
As a Non Executive Director/ Part-time Employee you will make yourself available for a maximum of twelve days a year to work on projects as requested by myself. If I ask you to work for more than twelve days a year, this will be subject to your agreement and will be remunerated at the rate of £2,000 a day or any other higher fee that we mutually agree.
During the period of NEE, you will continue to be a part-time employee of Clear Channel, and payroll taxes will be deducted and pension and assurance payments made at source. This means that during the period of NEE you will be continue to be eligible to continue vesting in Restricted Stock and Share Option schemes, subject to applicable UK law and the terms of the options plans.
Conduct and Duties
During the period of both ME and NEE, you will be entitled to undertake paid or unpaid work for any organisation that you choose, for any amount of time that you choose, even if this means you are never available to Clear Channel, except for the requirements stated above. The sole exception is that you agree that you will not provide services or advice, paid or unpaid, take employment with or otherwise be associated with or interested in any company or person which could be described as being in the outdoor advertising business. Specifically, this would mean companies such as JC Decaux, Viacom Outdoor, Maiden, Van Wagner, Lamar, and any similar organisations.
You may only provide services or advice to an outdoor advertising competitor if you have received explicit and unambiguous written approval from me. If I grant approval, you will then forfeit any monies or other benefits owed to you under this Letter , starting from the date at which my approval is granted. In the event you provide services or advice to an outdoor advertising competitor without receiving written approval from me, all future payments will cease, without prejudice to the Company’s other rights and remedies under English law.
If you ever, at any time, during or after the expiration of this Letter, reveal to any competitor trade secrets or provide them with any proprietary information or documents which you have obtained as part of your employment with Clear Channel, you will be liable for the normal sanctions under the laws of the United Kingdom. If such a breach of trust occurs during the period of this agreement you will forfeit any monies or benefits due under this Letter not yet paid at the time of the breach.
At all times that you remain an employee of Clear Channel, both during the period of ME and NEE, you will use your best efforts to promote the interests of Clear Channel and will seek to ensure that the Company is always held in the highest regard. You will continue to be bound by the normal rules of commercial confidentiality and, in particular, you will be continue to be bound by sections 13 and 14 of your Service Agreement, in respect of inventions and confidentiality. [Attached as Exhibit “B”.]
Save as set out below regarding material breach, the payments described in this Letter and on the attached schedule are regarded as contractual and absolutely binding. They are not in any way dependent upon your own performance, availability or conduct and there are no circumstances whatsoever under which the payments will not be made to you, save that should you materially breach

 


 

the obligations related to the items listed below, after written notice by the Company and an opportunity to cure such breach within 10 working days after receipt of said notice, the Company may terminate this agreement (without notice or payment in lieu of notice) and Company will have no further obligations to you whatsoever, including payment of any compensation, bonus, benefits or otherwise, and the Company will be entitled to all other remedies available under UK law. Vested benefits and all payments made to that date, however, will not be forfeited.
  1.   Duty to not act on behalf of the Company except as mutually agreed,
 
  2.   Duty to support and assist with IPO,
 
  3.   Duties regarding Clear Media in China,
 
  4.   Confidentiality of Trade Secrets and Proprietary Information,
 
  5.   Duties regarding inventions and intellectual property,
 
  6.   Duty regarding competitors,
 
  7.   Any act which would entitle the Company under English law to dismiss you summarily for gross misconduct, such as misappropriation of Company funds.
The payments in respect of base salary, allowances and non executive fees will be exactly as specified in this Letter, except as noted above regarding material breach. The exact quantum of the payment in respect of bonuses, FURBS and pension are uncertain as they depend on corporate performance but that is the only uncertainty and they will be paid to you under any circumstances going forward, except as noted above regarding material breach.
In the event of your death during the period of ME or NEE, the sums of money owed to you under the terms of this Letter will be paid to your Estate. As you will not be expected to be able to influence the performance of the Company, the outcome of the bonus payments will be dependent on the actions of others but the payments of the bonuses will occur in any event.
This letter shall be subject to English law, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
For the purposes of this letter and its Schedules, Associated Company means any company or corporation which is a holding company for the time being of the Company, or a subsidiary for the time being of the Company or of any such holding company (“holding company” and “subsidiary” having the meanings set out in section 736, Companies Act 1985 as amended), or any company which is designated at any time an Associated Company by the directors of the board of the Company or any holding company.
I have very much enjoyed working with you over the past eight years and have valued your input in the building and development of the Clear Channel businesses. We are moving into a new and very different phase of the corporate relationship between us now but I am confident that this will be as happy, successful and mutually rewarding as the past eight years.

 


 

Please sign and return a copy of this letter together with a signed copy of Schedule 1 attached, to show your acceptance of the terms of this letter. You are required to take independent legal advice relating to the terms of the attached Schedule. Therefore, the Company agrees to reimburse you for reasonable and normal legal expenses in order to have this agreement and the attached Schedules reviewed by your independent legal counsel within 14 days receipt of an appropriate invoice from your legal advisors addressed to you.
Kind regards,
     
/s/ Mark P. Mays

I confirm that I have read and understood the terms of this Letter and Schedule 1, and agree to its terms. I warrant that I will agree to and sign a copy of Schedule 2 upon the expiry of the period of NEE provided that the Company is not in material breach of this Letter at that date and I acknowledge that the fee for the last month of the NEE shall be withheld until I sign Schedule 2.
