WITNESSETH
    
WHEREAS, OUTFRONT desires for Executive to continue serving as Chief Executive Officer of OUTFRONT and Chairman of the Board of Directors of OUTFRONT (the “Board”), and Executive is willing to perform such services, upon the terms, provisions and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, it is agreed upon between OUTFRONT and Executive as follows:

1.Term. (a) Subject to paragraphs 1(b), 1(c) and 7(e), the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence on September 18, 2017 (the “Effective Date”) and shall expire on September 17, 2020 (the “Term”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive will be an at-will employee of OUTFRONT, and Executive or OUTFRONT may terminate Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT for any reason or no reason at any time, subject to either party providing at least 180 days’ prior written notice (or such greater amount of notice required herein).
(b)    On September 18, 2020 and on each anniversary of such date thereafter, unless the Term shall have ended pursuant to paragraph 1(c) below or OUTFRONT shall have given Executive one hundred and eighty (180) days’ written notice that the Term will not be extended, the Term shall be extended for an additional year.
(c)    Notwithstanding paragraph 1(a) or 1(b) above, the Term shall end early upon the first to occur of any of the following events:
(i)    Executive’s death;
(ii)
OUTFRONT’s termination of Executive’s employment due to Executive’s Disability (as defined in paragraph 7(d));
(iii)
OUTFRONT’s termination of Executive’s employment for Cause (as defined in paragraph 7(a));
(iv)
A termination without Cause (as described in paragraph 7(b)) or Executive’s termination of Executive’s employment for Good Reason (as defined in paragraph 7(b)); or
(v)
Executive’s termination of Executive’s employment without Good Reason.

1


(d)    During the Term, Executive agrees to maintain the validity of all work permits, visas and other immigration-related documents with respect to Executive’s employment hereunder.
2.    Duties and Duty of Loyalty. (a) Executive agrees to devote his entire business time, attention and energies to the OUTFRONT business. Executive will serve as Chief Executive Officer of OUTFRONT and Executive agrees to perform all duties reasonable and consistent with that office and related to the OUTFRONT business, as the Board may assign to Executive from time to time. Executive will also be a member of the Board (and serve as Chairman) until determined otherwise, and Executive agrees to perform all duties reasonable and consistent with that position. Executive’s principal place of employment will be OUTFRONT’s executive offices in the New York metropolitan area; provided, however, that from time to time Executive will be required to render services elsewhere as required for business reasons. In carrying out Executive’s duties, Executive shall report to the Board, and at all times Executive shall be the highest ranking senior officer of OUTFRONT, and all employees of OUTFRONT shall report directly or indirectly (through one or more of Executive’s subordinates) to Executive.
(b)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive may (i) serve on up to two boards of directors of other business enterprises, (ii) engage in charitable, educational or community affairs, including serving on the board of directors of any charitable, educational or community organization and (iii) manage Executive’s personal investments, provided that the activities described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above are consistent with the business practices and policies of OUTFRONT, do not materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder and Executive’s serving on any of the board of directors positions described in clauses (i) and (ii) above will be subject to the prior notice to, and approval from, the Board.
3.    Compensation.
(a)    Salary. For all the services rendered by Executive in any capacity under this Agreement, OUTFRONT agrees to pay Executive a base salary at the rate of One Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $1,350,000) per annum, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, in accordance with OUTFRONT’s payroll practices as they may exist from time to time (such base salary, as it may be increased from time to time, “Salary”). During the Term of this Agreement, Executive’s Salary may be increased (but not decreased), and such increase, if any, shall be made at a time, and in an amount, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), in its discretion.
(b)    Bonus Compensation. Executive shall be eligible to receive annual bonus compensation (“Bonus”) during Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT under this Agreement, determined and payable as follows:
(i)    OUTFRONT agrees Executive shall be eligible to be considered for participation in OUTFRONT’s Executive Bonus Plan (the “EBP”), i.e., OUTFRONT’s current bonus plan, or any successor plans to the EBP. Executive shall have an annual bonus target equal to one hundred percent (100%) of his Salary (“Target Bonus”), with a maximum bonus opportunity equal to 200% of the Target Bonus (which such percentages may be

2


increased, but not decreased from time to time). Since the EBP is administered under procedures that are not subject to contractual arrangements, eligibility for consideration is no guarantee of actual participation (or of meeting any target amounts), and the precise amount, form and timing of the awards under the EBP, if any, shall be determined on an annual basis at the sole discretion of the Board, or the appropriate committee of such Board. The Bonus for any calendar year may be subject to proration for the portion of such calendar year that Executive was employed by OUTFRONT.
(ii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s Bonus for any calendar year shall be payable, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, between January 1st and March 15th of the year following the year in which the Bonus was considered earned.
(iii)    If, prior to the last day of a calendar year, Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT terminates other than for Cause, or as a result of a termination by Executive for Good Reason, OUTFRONT shall pay Executive a prorated Bonus (the “Prorated Bonus”), in which case such Prorated Bonus will be determined in accordance with the guidelines of the EBP and payable in accordance with paragraph 3(b)(ii). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prorated” shall mean the product of Executive’s Bonus determined for the calendar year of Executive’s termination multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days Executive shall have been employed by OUTFRONT in such year and the denominator of which shall be 365 (or 366 if a leap year). Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 3(b) to the contrary, if at any time prior to Executive’s date of termination Executive’s Target Bonus or maximum bonus opportunity, as a percentage of Executive’s Salary, has been reduced, or Executive’s Salary on which Executive’s Target Bonus and maximum bonus opportunity is based has been reduced, in violation of the terms of this Agreement, then Executive’s Prorated Bonus for the year in which Executive’s employment terminates shall be determined on the basis of the highest Salary, or the highest Target Bonus or maximum bonus opportunity, in effect for Executive at any time prior to Executive’s date of termination.
(c)    Long-Term Incentive Compensation. During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to receive annual grants of long-term compensation under the LTIP, or any successor plans to the LTIP. Executive shall have a target long-term incentive value equal to Three Million and Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $3,500,000), a significant portion of which shall be subject to performance. The precise amount, form (including equity and equity-based awards, which for purposes of this Agreement are collectively referred to as “equity awards”) and timing of any such long-term incentive award, if any, shall be determined in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that the terms relating to the settlement or payment of any such award shall comply with all applicable requirements of Section 409A (as defined in paragraph 6(g) below).
4.    Benefits.
(a)    Executive shall be eligible for five (5) weeks of vacation per year and to participate in all medical, dental, life insurance, long-term disability insurance, retirement, long-term incentive and other benefit plans and programs applicable generally to other senior executives of OUTFRONT in which Executive and Executive’s family (as applicable) would be eligible to

3


participate under the terms of the plans, as may be amended from time to time. This provision shall not be construed to require OUTFRONT to establish any welfare, compensation or long-term incentive plans, or to prevent the modification or termination of any plan once established, and no action or inaction with respect to any plan shall affect this Agreement.
(b)    OUTFRONT agrees to assist/cooperate in good faith with Executive’s efforts in maintaining the validity of any work permits, visas and other immigration-related documents as described in this paragraph 4(b). OUTFRONT will pay or reimburse all reasonable costs and expenses associated with maintaining the appropriate work permit/visa for Executive and required visas for Executive’s spouse and dependent children. Any expense reimbursements will be made within sixty (60) calendar days following the Effective Date or, if later, on the date on which OUTFRONT receives appropriate documentation with respect to such expenses, but in no event will payment be made later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs the expenses.
5.    Business Expenses. During Executive’s employment under this Agreement, OUTFRONT shall reimburse Executive for such reasonable travel and other expenses (including, without limitation, the expense of first class travel for flights in excess of three hours) in the performance of Executive’s duties as are customarily reimbursed to OUTFRONT executives at comparable levels. Any expense reimbursements will be made within sixty (60) calendar days following the date on which OUTFRONT receives appropriate documentation with respect to such expenses, but in no event will payment be made later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs the expenses.
6.    Non-Competition, Confidential Information, Etc.
(a)    Non-Competition. Executive agrees that Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT is on an exclusive basis and that, while Executive is employed by OUTFRONT or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in this paragraph 6(a) below), Executive will not engage in any other business activity which is in conflict with Executive’s duties and obligations (including Executive’s commitment of time) under this Agreement. Executive further agrees that, during the Non-Compete Period (as defined below), Executive shall not directly or indirectly engage in or participate in (or negotiate or sign any agreement to engage in or participate in), whether as an owner, partner, stockholder, officer, employee, director, agent of or consultant for, any business that is an out-of-home media company that is competitive with OUTFRONT in the countries and/or territories in which OUTFRONT conducts business, or has written plans to conduct business, at the time of Executive’s termination of employment; provided, however, that this provision shall not prevent Executive 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. The Non-Compete Period shall cover the period during Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT and shall continue following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, including the expiration of the Term, for the greater of: (i) twelve (12) months, or (ii) for the period during which payments are to be made to Executive pursuant to paragraphs 7(b) or 7(e) of this Agreement, unless Executive requests and OUTFRONT accepts a written request pursuant to paragraph 6(j) of this Agreement, if any. Except as otherwise provided herein, as used in this Agreement, a

4


Subsidiary” of an entity shall mean any other entity, including any corporation, partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, entity, firm, business organization, enterprise, association or joint venture in which the first entity, directly or indirectly, owns 50% or more of the voting power.
(b)    Confidential Information.
(i)    Executive agrees that, during the Term and at any time thereafter, (A) Executive shall not use for any purpose, including disclosing to any third party, other than in performance of the duly authorized business of OUTFRONT, any information relating to OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies (as defined in subparagraph (v) of paragraph 6(c) below), which is non-public, confidential or proprietary to OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies (“Confidential Information”), including any trade secret or any written (including in any electronic form) or oral communication incorporating Confidential Information in any way (except as may be required by law or in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement consistent with OUTFRONT’s policies); and (B) Executive will comply with any and all confidentiality obligations of OUTFRONT to a third party, whether arising under a written agreement or otherwise. Information shall not be deemed Confidential Information which (1) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Executive or at Executive’s direction or by any other person who directly or indirectly receives such information from Executive, or (2) is or becomes available to Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source which is entitled to disclose it to Executive. For purposes of this paragraph 6(b), the term “third party” shall be defined to mean any person other than OUTFRONT and its Subsidiaries or any of its respective directors and senior officers.
(ii)    Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Executive is not prohibited from disclosing any Confidential Information if (A) disclosure is required by law, including pursuant to a subpoena issued by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order Executive to disclose or make available such Confidential Information; provided that Executive shall promptly notify OUTFRONT in writing upon receiving a request to disclose such Confidential Information and, if OUTFRONT requests, reasonably cooperate with OUTFRONT at its expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such Confidential Information (which expense shall include the cost of Executive’s own counsel, as Executive may reasonably request, if OUTFRONT determines to pursue a protective order or other protective relief); provided, further, that Executive use reasonable best efforts (including taking into account the advice of Executive’s own counsel) to avoid any unnecessary disclosure by Executive of the Confidential Information; or (B) in connection with any litigation, arbitration or mediation involving the enforcement of this Agreement or any other dispute between Executive and OUTFRONT regarding Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT or the termination thereof; provided that, in connection with Executive’s use of Confidential Information in any such litigation, arbitration or mediation proceeding, Executive uses reasonable best efforts to avoid any unnecessary disclosure by Executive of the Confidential Information outside of such proceeding.

5


(c)    No Solicitation. Executive agrees that, while employed by OUTFRONT and for the greater of twelve (12) months thereafter or for so long as payments are due to Executive pursuant to paragraph 7(b) or 7(e) of this Agreement, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly:
(i)    employ or solicit the employment of any person who is then or has been within twelve (12) months prior thereto, an employee of OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies (as defined in clause (v) below);
(ii)    do any act or thing to cause, bring about, or induce any interference with, disturbance to, or interruption of any of the then-existing relationships (whether or not such relationships have been reduced to formal contracts) of OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies with any employee or consultant; or
(iii)    do any act or thing to cause, bring about, or induce any interference with, disturbance to, or interruption of any of the then-existing relationships (whether or not such relationships have been reduced to formal contracts) of OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies with any customer or supplier.
(iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Executive’s response to an unsolicited request for an employment reference regarding any former employee of OUTFRONT shall not be a violation of this paragraph 6(c).
(v)    For purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliated Company” shall mean any entity in which OUTFRONT directly or indirectly owns at least 20% of the voting power.
Should OUTFRONT have reason to believe Executive is violating the terms of this paragraph 6(c), OUTFRONT may contact any individual(s) necessary to (A) determine the existence of a violation and (B) enforce this paragraph 6(c), without being deemed to have violated the confidentiality terms of any written agreement between Executive and OUTFRONT.
(d)    OUTFRONT Ownership. The results and proceeds of Executive’s services under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any works of authorship resulting from Executive’s services during Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT and any works in progress resulting from such services, shall be works-made-for-hire and OUTFRONT shall be deemed the sole owner throughout the universe of any and all rights of every nature in such works, whether such rights are now known or hereafter defined or discovered, with the right to use the works in perpetuity in any manner OUTFRONT determines, in its discretion, without any further payment to Executive. If, for any reason, any of such results and proceeds 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 OUTFRONT under the preceding sentence, then Executive hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign any and all of Executive’s 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, whether now known or hereafter defined or discovered, and OUTFRONT shall have the right to use the work in perpetuity throughout the universe in any manner OUTFRONT determines, in its discretion, without any further payment to Executive. Executive shall, as may be requested by

6


OUTFRONT from time to time, do any and all things which OUTFRONT may deem useful or desirable to establish or document OUTFRONT’s rights in any such results and proceeds, including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate copyright, trademark and/or patent applications, assignments or similar documents and, if Executive is unavailable or unwilling to execute such documents, Executive hereby irrevocably designates the General Counsel of OUTFRONT (or his or her designee) as Executive’s attorney-in-fact with the power to execute such documents on Executive’s behalf. To the extent Executive has any rights in the results and proceeds of Executive’s services under this Agreement that cannot be assigned as described above, Executive unconditionally and irrevocably waives the enforcement of such rights. This paragraph 6(d) is subject to, and does not limit, restrict, or constitute a waiver by OUTFRONT of any ownership rights to which OUTFRONT may be entitled by operation of law by virtue of being Executive’s employer.
(e)    Litigation.
(i)    Executive agrees that during the Term and for twelve (12) months thereafter or, if later, during the pendency of any litigation or other proceeding, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 6(b)(ii)(B) hereof, (A) Executive shall not communicate with anyone (other than Executive’s own attorneys and tax advisors), except to the extent necessary in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, with respect to the facts or subject matter of any pending or potential litigation, or regulatory or administrative proceeding involving OUTFRONT or its Affiliated Companies, other than any litigation or other proceeding in which Executive is a party-in-opposition, without giving prior notice to OUTFRONT (or its counsel); and (B) in the event that any other party attempts to obtain information or documents from Executive with respect to such matters, either through formal legal process such as a subpoena or by informal means such as interviews, Executive shall promptly notify OUTFRONT’s counsel before providing any information or documents.
(ii)    Executive agrees to cooperate with OUTFRONT and its attorneys, both during and after the termination of Executive’s employment, in connection with any litigation or other proceeding arising out of or relating to matters in which Executive was involved or had knowledge of prior to the termination of Executive’s employment. Executive’s cooperation shall include, without limitation, providing assistance to counsel, experts or consultants, providing truthful testimony in pretrial and trial or hearing proceedings and any travel related to Executive’s attendance at such proceedings. In the event that Executive’s cooperation is requested after the termination of Executive’s employment, OUTFRONT will (A) seek to minimize interruptions to Executive’s schedule to the extent consistent with its interests in the matter; and (B) reimburse Executive for all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Executive in connection with such cooperation upon reasonable substantiation of such expenses. Reimbursement shall be made within sixty (60) calendar days following the date on which OUTFRONT receives appropriate documentation with respect to such expenses, but in no event shall payment be made later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs the related expenses.

7


(iii)    Executive agrees that during the Term and at any time thereafter, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Executive will not testify voluntarily in any lawsuit or other proceeding which directly or indirectly involves OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies, or which may create the impression that such testimony is endorsed or approved by OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies, without advance notice (including the general nature of the testimony) to and, if such testimony is without subpoena or other compulsory legal process, the approval of the General Counsel of OUTFRONT.
(iv)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not preclude Executive from participating in any governmental investigation of OUTFRONT, including providing any information to governmental authorities about possible legal violations, and Executive is not obligated under this Agreement to provide any notice to OUTFRONT regarding Executive’s participation in any governmental investigation of OUTFRONT.
(f)    No Right to Give Interviews or Write Books, Articles, Etc. During the Term, except as authorized by OUTFRONT, Executive shall not (i) give any interviews or speeches, or (ii) prepare or assist any person or entity in the preparation of any books, articles, television or motion picture productions or other creations, in either case, concerning OUTFRONT or its Affiliated Companies or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees, suppliers or customers. The prohibition contained in this paragraph 6(f) shall not apply to a statement as to Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT made in a publication by a school, social club, community association or similar organizations.
(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 Executive and utilized by Executive in the course of Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT shall remain the exclusive property of OUTFRONT. In the event of the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, OUTFRONT reserves the right, to the extent permitted by law and in addition to any other remedy OUTFRONT may have, to deduct from any monies otherwise payable to Executive the following: (i) all amounts Executive may owe to OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies at the time of or subsequent to the termination of Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT; and (ii) the value of the OUTFRONT property which Executive retains in Executive’s possession after the termination of Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT. In the event that the law of any state or other jurisdiction requires the consent of an employee for such deductions, this Agreement shall serve as such consent. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 6(g) to the contrary, OUTFRONT will not exercise such right to deduct from any monies otherwise payable to Executive that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall be entitled to retain (A) papers and other materials of a personal nature, including, but not limited to, photographs, correspondence, personal diaries, calendars and rolodexes, personal files and phone books, (B) information showing Executive’s compensation or relating to the reimbursement of expenses incurred by Executive, (C) information Executive reasonably believes may be needed for tax purposes, and (D) copies of plans, programs and agreements related to Executive’s employment, or termination thereof, with

8


OUTFRONT. Executive also may retain electronic devices used for communication and information storage, including mobile devices and computers regularly used by Executive, to the extent they contain information Executive is permitted to retain pursuant to this paragraph 6(g), which devices and information shall be subject to scanning and other procedures by and satisfactory to OUTFRONT information technology personnel. All other information may be deleted by OUTFRONT from such electronic devices pursuant to this paragraph 6(g).
(h)    Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees that, during the Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Executive shall not, in any communications with the press or other media or any customer, client, supplier of OUTFRONT or any of its Subsidiaries, or member of the investment community, criticize, ridicule or make any statement which disparages or is derogatory of OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies, or any of its directors or senior officers. OUTFRONT agrees that during the Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, OUTFRONT shall not, in any communications with the press or other media or any customer client, supplier of OUTFRONT or any of its Subsidiaries, or member of the investment community criticize, ridicule or make any statement which disparages or is derogatory of Executive; provided that OUTFRONT’s obligations 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 6(h) by OUTFRONT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Executive nor OUTFRONT shall be prohibited from making truthful statements in connection with any arbitration proceeding described in paragraph 19 hereof concerning a dispute relating to this Agreement.
(i)    Injunctive Relief. OUTFRONT has entered into this Agreement in order to obtain the benefit of Executive’s unique skills, talent, and experience. Executive acknowledges and agrees that any violation of paragraphs 6(a) through (h) of this Agreement will result in irreparable damage to OUTFRONT and, accordingly, OUTFRONT may obtain injunctive and other equitable relief for any breach or threatened breach of such paragraphs, in addition to any other remedies available to OUTFRONT.
(j)    Survival; Modification of Terms. Executive’s obligations under paragraphs 6(a) through (i) shall remain in full force and effect for the entire period provided therein notwithstanding the termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement for any reason or the expiration of the Term; provided, however, that Executive’s obligations under paragraph 6(a) (but not under any other provision of this Agreement) shall cease if: (i) OUTFRONT terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive terminates Executive’s employment for Good Reason, (ii) Executive provides OUTFRONT a written notice indicating Executive’s desire to waive Executive’s right to receive, or to continue to receive, termination payments and benefits under paragraph 7(b) or 7(e), as applicable; and (iii) OUTFRONT notifies Executive that it has, in its discretion, accepted Executive’s request. Executive and OUTFRONT agree that the restrictions and remedies contained in paragraphs 6(a) through (i) are reasonable and that it is Executive’s intention and the intention of OUTFRONT that such restrictions and remedies shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible by law. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall find that any such restriction or remedy is unenforceable but would be enforceable if some part were deleted or the

9


period or area of application reduced, then such restriction or remedy shall apply with the modification necessary to make it enforceable. Executive acknowledges that OUTFRONT conducts its business operations around the world and has invested considerable time and effort to develop the international brand and goodwill associated with the “OUTFRONT” name. To that end, Executive further acknowledges that the obligations set forth in this paragraph 6 are by necessity international in scope and necessary to protect the international operations and goodwill of OUTFRONT and its Affiliated Companies.
7.    Termination of Employment. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to any provision of paragraph 7, Executive shall continue to possess the entitlements described in paragraphs 8, 18 and 19.
(a)    Termination for Cause.
(i)    OUTFRONT may, at its option, terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Cause at any time during the Term. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (A) embezzlement, fraud or other conduct which would constitute a felony or a misdemeanor involving fraud or perjury; (B) willful unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information; (C) Executive’s failure to obey a material lawful directive that is appropriate to Executive’s position from an executive(s) with authority to give Executive such directive; (D) Executive’s failure to comply with the written policies of OUTFRONT, including OUTFRONT’s Code of Conduct (the “Code”); (E) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall include a material breach of Executive’s obligations as set forth in paragraph 1(d) of this Agreement); (F) during the Term, Executive’s terminating Executive’s employment without Good Reason other than due to Executive’s death or Disability; (G) Executive’s willful failure or willful refusal after being given written notice (except in the event of Executive’s Disability) to substantially perform Executive’s material duties and responsibilities as set forth in paragraph 2 of this Agreement; (H) Executive’s willful failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities or the destruction or failure to preserve documents or other material reasonably likely to be relevant to such an investigation, or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to destroy or fail to produce documents or other material; (I) conduct by Executive which is considered an offense involving moral turpitude under federal, state or local laws, or (J) willful misconduct by Executive that brings Executive to public disrepute or scandal that does, or is likely to do, significant harm to OUTFRONT’s businesses or those who conduct business with OUTFRONT and its Affiliated Companies. For purposes of this Agreement, no act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interest of OUTFRONT.
Prior to the termination of Executive’s employment for Cause, Executive shall have the opportunity to be heard before the Board.
In addition, OUTFRONT will give Executive written notice of termination regarding any alleged act, failure or breach in reasonable detail and, except in the case of clause (A),

10


(B) or (F) or any other conduct, failure, breach or refusal which, by its nature, OUTFRONT determines cannot reasonably be expected to be cured, the conduct required to cure. Except for conduct described in clause (A), (B) or (F) or any other conduct, failure, breach or refusal which, by its nature, OUTFRONT determines cannot reasonably be expected to be cured, Executive shall have ten (10) business days from the giving of such notice within which to cure any conduct, failure, breach or refusal under clause (C), (D), (E), (G), (H), (I) or (J) of this paragraph 7(a)(i); provided, however, that if OUTFRONT reasonably expects irreparable injury from a delay of ten (10) business days, OUTFRONT may give Executive notice of such shorter period within which to cure as is reasonable under the circumstances.
(ii)    In the event that Executive’s employment terminates under paragraph 7(a)(i) during the Term, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including for any Accrued Obligations (as defined in the next sentence) which shall be paid net of applicable withholding taxes, OUTFRONT shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to pay Salary or Bonus or provide benefits, except to the extent of “Accrued Obligations.” As used in this Agreement, the term “Accrued Obligations” means: (A) any unpaid Salary through and including the date of termination, (B) any unpaid Bonus awarded for the calendar year prior to the calendar year in which Executive is terminated, (C) any business expense reimbursements incurred but not yet approved and/or paid and (D) such other amounts or benefits as are required to be paid or provided by law or in accordance with applicable plans, programs and other arrangements of OUTFRONT. The amounts payable to Executive pursuant to clauses (A), (B) and (C) of the preceding sentence shall be paid to Executive no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which Executive’s employment terminates, and the amounts or benefits payable to Executive pursuant to clause (D) of the preceding sentence shall be paid or provided to Executive at the time or times and in the manner specified in the applicable plans, programs and other arrangements.
(b)    Termination by the Company without Cause or Termination by Executive for Good Reason.
(i)    OUTFRONT may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement without Cause at any time during the Term by providing written notice of termination to Executive. In addition, Executive may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Good Reason at any time during the Term by written notice of termination to OUTFRONT given no more than sixty (60) days after Executive first learns of the event constituting Good Reason. Such notice shall state an effective termination date that is not earlier than thirty (30) days and not later than sixty (60) days after the date it is given to OUTFRONT, provided that OUTFRONT may set an earlier effective date for Executive’s termination at any time after receipt of Executive’s notice. For purposes of this Agreement (and any other agreement that expressly incorporates the definition of Good Reason hereunder), “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without Executive’s consent (other than in connection with the termination or suspension of Executive’s employment or duties for Cause or in connection with physical and mental incapacity): (A) a material reduction in Executive’s Salary, Bonus or long-term incentive

11


compensation opportunity in effect prior to such reduction, including Executive’s annual Target Bonus or long-term incentive targets; (B) a material reduction in Executive’s positions (including serving on the Board), titles, authorities, duties or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to such reduction (including any such reduction effected through any arrangement involving the sharing of Executive’s position and title as Chief Executive Officer of OUTFRONT); provided, however, that any removal of Executive as Chairman of the Board in accordance with any corporate governance best practices that OUTFRONT adopts shall not constitute “Good Reason” under this Agreement; (C) the assignment to Executive of duties or responsibilities that are materially inconsistent with Executive’s authorities, duties or responsibilities as they shall exist on the Effective Date (other than authorities, duties or responsibilities relating to the operations of a public company or which are consistent with those given to a chief executive officer of a public company; provided that for so long as OUTFRONT is a controlled public company, references to “public company” shall be modified to reflect such status) or that materially impair Executive’s ability to function as Chief Executive Officer of OUTFRONT; (D) the material breach by OUTFRONT of any of its obligations under this Agreement; (E) the requirement that Executive relocate outside the New York City metropolitan area. OUTFRONT shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of Executive’s notice within which to cure and in the event of such cure Executive’s notice shall be of no further force or effect. If no cure is effected, Executive’s termination will be effective as of the date specified in Executive’s written notice to OUTFRONT or such earlier effective date set by OUTFRONT following receipt of Executive’s notice.
(ii)    In the event that Executive’s employment terminates under paragraph 7(b)(i) during the Term hereof, Executive shall thereafter receive, less applicable withholding taxes, (x) the Accrued Obligations, (y) a prorated Bonus for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated (determined in the manner set forth in paragraph 3(b)(iii) hereof), and (z) subject to Executive’s compliance with paragraph 7(h) hereunder, the following payments and benefits:
(A)    Cash Severance: an amount equal to the sum of (1) twelve (12) months of Executive’s then current Salary described in paragraph 3(a) (or, if Executive’s Salary has been reduced in violation of this Agreement, Executive’s highest Salary during the Term) and (2) Executive’s Target Bonus in effect at the time of termination (or, if Executive’s Target Bonus has been reduced in violation of this Agreement, Executive’s highest Target Bonus during the Term), payable ratably in equal installments in accordance with OUTFRONT’s then effective payroll practices, over a twelve (12) month period beginning on the regular payroll date (“Regular Payroll Date”) next following Executive’s termination date.
(B)    Health Benefits: medical and dental insurance coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents at no cost to Executive (except as hereafter described) pursuant to the OUTFRONT benefit plans in which Executive participated in at the time of Executive’s termination of employment (or, if different, other benefit plans generally available to senior level executives) for a period of

12


twelve (12) months following the termination date, or if earlier, the date on which Executive becomes eligible for medical or dental coverage as the case may be from a third party, which period of coverage shall be considered to run concurrently with the COBRA continuation period; provided that during the period that OUTFRONT provides Executive with this coverage, the cost of such coverage will be treated as taxable income to Executive and OUTFRONT may withhold taxes from Executive’s compensation for this purpose; provided, further, that Executive may elect to continue Executive’s medical and dental insurance coverage under COBRA at Executive’s own expense for the balance, if any, of the period required by law.
(C)    Equity: the following with respect to awards granted to Executive under the LTIP:
(1)    All outstanding stock option awards (or portions thereof) that have previously vested and become exercisable by the date of such termination shall remain exercisable until the greater of twelve (12) months following the termination date or the period provided in accordance with the terms of the grant; provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise period extend beyond the applicable expiration date.
(2)    Subject to paragraph 7(b)(ii)(C)(3):
(x) 
all outstanding restricted share units and other full value equity awards (or portions thereof) granted to Executive prior to the Effective Date in connection with Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT (“Pre-Effective Date Awards”) that would otherwise vest on or before the end of a twelve (12) month period following the date of Executive’s termination shall accelerate and vest on the Release Effective Date and be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; and
(y) 
all outstanding restricted share units and other full value equity awards (or portions thereof) granted to Executive on or after the Effective Date in connection with Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT (“Post-Effective Date Awards”) shall accelerate and vest immediately in full on the Release Effective Date and be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Pre-Effective Date Awards and Post-Effective Date Awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on Executive’s termination date: (I) in the event, and limited to the extent, that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception is required in order to ensure the

13


deductibility of any such award under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (“Section 162(m)”), such awards shall vest if and to the extent the Compensation Committee of the Board certifies that a level of the performance goal relating to such awards has been met, or, if later, the Release Effective Date, and (II) in the event and to the extent that compliance with the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) is not required in order to ensure the deductibility of any such award, such award shall immediately vest (with an assumption that the performance goal(s) were achieved at target level, if and to the extent applicable) on the Release Effective Date and be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter.
(3)    Notwithstanding paragraph 7(b)(ii)(C)(2), if Executive’s employment terminates under paragraph 7(b)(i) on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, the equity treatment described in paragraph 7(b)(ii)(C)(2) shall not apply to any Post-Effective Date Awards and Executive will continue vesting in all Post-Effective Date Awards as though Executive had remained employed through the applicable vesting date; provided, however, that Post-Effective Date Awards granted in the twelve (12) month period prior to such termination will only vest pro-rata, with any such award multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of months that Executive was employed during the year in which his termination occurs, and the denominator of which is twelve (12). Such awards shall be paid when they otherwise would be paid under the applicable award agreement. Furthermore, Post-Effective Date Awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall vest (including those that vest pro-rata, if applicable) if and to the extent the Committee certifies that a level of performance goal relating to such awards has been met at the end of the applicable performance period. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Committee does not certify that a level of performance goal relating to such awards has been met, Executive will forfeit such awards.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, vesting under this paragraph 7(b)(ii)(C)(3) will cease if Executive becomes employed as an executive of an out-of-home media company that is competitive with OUTFRONT with principal operations in North America. For purposes of this Agreement, “principal operations in North America” means more than 25% of such company’s revenue is generated in North America in the fiscal quarter in which Executive becomes employed by such company.
(D)    Repatriation Expenses: OUTFRONT will pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses associated with the repatriation of Executive and Executive’s family back to the United Kingdom during the twelve (12) months following Executive’s termination by OUTFRONT without Cause or termination of

14


employment by Executive for Good Reason in accordance with its travel guidelines, as may be amended from time to time. Such expense reimbursements will be made as soon as practicable in accordance with OUTFRONT’s guidelines, as may be amended from time to time, following the date on which OUTFRONT receives appropriate documentation with respect to such expenses, but in no event will payment be made later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incur the expenses.
To the extent that any of the payments made to Executive or on Executive’s behalf pursuant to this paragraph 7(b)(ii)(D) (each such payment, a “reimbursement”) are taxable to Executive, OUTFRONT will make an additional payment to Executive in an amount that after payment of all taxes payable by Executive with respect to the additional payment, will equal the amount of all taxes payable by Executive with respect to the related reimbursement. The additional payment required to be paid pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid to Executive or to the applicable taxing authorities on Executive’s behalf at the time the related taxes are due, or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, but in any event by no later than December 31 of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the related taxes are remitted to the applicable taxing authorities.
(iii)    Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in paragraph 7(b)(ii) by seeking other employment. The payments provided for in paragraph 7(b)(ii) are in lieu of any other severance or income continuation or protection under any OUTFRONT program or agreement that may now or hereafter exist (unless the terms of such plan, program or agreement expressly state that the payments and benefits payable thereunder are intended to be in addition to the type of payments and benefits described in paragraph 7(b)(ii) of this Agreement).
(c)    Death.
(i)    Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death.
(ii)    In the event of Executive’s death prior to the end of the Term while Executive is actively employed, Executive’s beneficiary or estate shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations, with any payments then due being payable within thirty (30) days following Executive’s date of death. In addition, (A) all awards of stock options that have not vested and become exercisable on the date of such termination shall accelerate and vest immediately, and shall continue to be exercisable by Executive’s beneficiary or estate until the greater of two (2) years following Executive’s date of death or the period provided in accordance with the terms of the grant, provided that in no event shall the exercise period of such awards extend beyond their expiration date; (B) all awards of stock options that have previously vested and become exercisable by the date of Executive’s death shall remain exercisable by Executive’s beneficiary or estate until the greater of two (2) years following Executive’s date of death or the period provided in accordance with the terms of the grant,

15


provided that in no event shall the exercise period of such awards extend beyond their expiration date; (C) all awards of RSUs and other equity awards that remain subject only to time-based vesting conditions on the date of Executive’s death shall immediately vest and be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; and (D) all awards of RSUs and other equity awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on the date of Executive’s death shall vest if and to the extent the Committee certifies that a level of the performance goal(s) relating to such RSU or other equity award has been met following the end of the applicable performance period, and shall be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter.
(iii)    In the event of Executive’s death after the termination of Executive’s employment (which termination occurred during the Term) under circumstances described in paragraph 7(b)(i), but prior to payment of any amounts or benefits described in paragraph 7(b)(ii), as applicable, that Executive would have received had Executive continued to live, all such amounts and benefits (payable under paragraph 7(b)(ii) shall be paid, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, to Executive’s beneficiary (or, if no beneficiary has been designated, to Executive’s estate) in accordance with the applicable payment schedule set forth in paragraph 7(b)(ii), as applicable.
(d)    Disability.
(i)    If, while employed during the Term, Executive becomes “disabled” within the meaning of such term under the short-term disability (“STD”) program in which OUTFRONT senior executives are eligible to participate (such condition is referred to as a “Disability” or being “Disabled”), Executive will be considered to have experienced a termination of employment with OUTFRONT and its Subsidiaries as of the date Executive first becomes eligible to receive benefits under the long-term disability (“LTD”) program in which OUTFRONT senior executives are eligible to participate or, if Executive does not become eligible to receive benefits under such OUTFRONT LTD program, Executive has not returned to work by the six (6) month anniversary of Executive’s Disability onset date.
(ii)    Except as provided in this paragraph 7(d)(ii), if Executive becomes Disabled while employed during the Term, Executive will exclusively receive compensation under the STD program in accordance with its terms and, thereafter, under the LTD program in accordance with its terms, provided Executive is eligible to receive LTD program benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive has not returned to work by December 31 of a calendar year during the Term, Executive will receive bonus compensation for the calendar year(s) during the Term in which Executive receives compensation under the STD program, determined as follows:
(A)    for the portion of the calendar year from January 1st until the date on which Executive first receives compensation under the STD program, bonus compensation shall be determined in accordance with the EBP (i.e., based upon achievement of company performance goals and the Committee’s good faith estimate of Executive’s achievement of Executive’s personal goals) and prorated for such period; and

16


(B)    for any subsequent portion of that calendar year and any portion of the following calendar year in which Executive receives compensation under the STD program, bonus compensation shall be in an amount equal to Executive’s Target Bonus and prorated for such period(s).
Bonus compensation under this paragraph 7(d)(ii) shall be paid, less applicable deductions and withholding taxes, between January 1st and March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year to which such bonus compensation relates. Executive will not receive bonus compensation for any portion of the calendar year(s) during the Term while Executive receives benefits under the LTD program. For the periods that Executive receives compensation and benefits under the STD and LTD programs, such compensation and benefits and the bonus compensation provided under this paragraph 7(d)(ii) are in lieu of Salary and Bonus under paragraphs 3(a) and (b).
In addition, if Executive’s employment terminates due to Executive’s “Permanent Disability” (as defined in the then current LTIP), (w) all awards of stock options that have not vested and become exercisable on Executive’s termination date shall accelerate and vest immediately, and shall continue to be exercisable until the greater of three (3) years following the termination date or the period provided in accordance with the terms of the grant, provided that in no event shall the exercise period of such awards extend beyond their expiration date; (x) all awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights that have previously vested and become exercisable by Executive’s termination date shall remain exercisable until the greater of three (3) years following the termination date or the period provided in accordance with the terms of the grant, provided that in no event shall the exercise period of such awards extend beyond their expiration date; (y) all awards of RSUs and other equity awards that remain subject only to time-based vesting conditions on Executive’s termination date shall immediately vest and be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter; and (z) all awards of RSUs and other equity awards that remain subject to performance-based vesting conditions on Executive’s termination date shall vest if and to the extent the Committee certifies that a level of the performance goal(s) relating to such RSU or other equity award has been met following the end of the applicable performance period, and shall be settled within ten (10) business days thereafter.
(iii)    OUTFRONT will pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable expenses associated with the repatriation of Executive and Executive’s family back to the United Kingdom during the twelve (12) months following Executive’s termination in accordance with its travel guidelines, as may be amended from time to time. Such expense reimbursements will be made as soon as practicable in accordance with OUTFRONT’s guidelines, as may be amended from time to time following the date on which OUTFRONT receives appropriate documentation with respect to such expenses, but in no event will payment be made later than December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs the expenses.
To the extent that any of the payments made to Executive or on Executive’s behalf pursuant to this paragraph 7(d)(iii) (each such payment, a “reimbursement”) are taxable to

17


Executive, OUTFRONT will make an additional payment to Executive in an amount that after payment of all taxes payable by Executive with respect to the additional payment, will equal the amount of all taxes payable by Executive with respect to the related reimbursement. The additional payment required to be paid pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid to Executive or to the applicable taxing authorities on Executive’s behalf at the time the related taxes are due, or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, but in any event by no later than December 31 of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the related taxes are remitted to the applicable taxing authorities.
(e)    Renewal Notice / Non-Renewal.
(i)    In accordance with paragraph 1, on the third anniversary of the Effective Date and each anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter, the Term shall be extended for an additional year unless OUTFRONT provides written notice to Executive at least one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Term that the Term will not be extended, in which case the term of employment hereunder shall terminate as of the end of the Term. In the event of such non-renewal of the Term, Executive shall be entitled to receive the same payments and benefits including, without limitation, severance, continued vesting of options and RSUs (including performance-based awards) pursuant to paragraph 7(b)(ii)(C)(3) and continuing exercisability of options, on the same basis as if the termination of Executive’s employment were a termination without Cause under paragraph 7(b)(i) above, subject to Executive’s execution of a release in favor of OUTFRONT as further described in paragraph 7(h).
(ii)    Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this paragraph 7(e) by seeking other employment. The payments provided for in this paragraph 7(e) are in lieu of any other severance or similar arrangement under any OUTFRONT severance or similar plan, program or agreement that may now or hereafter exist (unless the terms of such plan, program or agreement expressly state that the payments and benefits payable thereunder are intended to be in addition to the type of payments and benefits described in paragraph 7(e) of this Agreement).
(f)    Termination without Good Reason. If Executive terminates his employment without Good Reason under this paragraph 7(f), OUTFRONT shall pay Executive the Accrued Obligations at the times set forth in paragraph 7(a)(ii); provided, however, that if, on or after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive provides OUTFRONT with at least twelve (12) months’ written notice of such termination such that the termination becomes effective on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, and OUTFRONT accepts such termination, Executive shall also be entitled to receive the continued vesting benefits as provided in paragraph 7(b)(ii)(C)(3) hereof, subject to Executive’s execution of a release in favor of OUTFRONT as further described in paragraph 7(h). For the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall not be entitled to receive the payments and benefits described in paragraphs 7(b)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) in the event of a termination without Good Reason that occurs at any time during the Term.
(g)    Resignation from Official Positions. If Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT terminates for any reason, Executive shall automatically be deemed to have resigned

18


at that time from any and all officer or director positions that Executive may have held with OUTFRONT or any of OUTFRONT’s Affiliated Companies and all board seats or other positions in other entities Executive held on behalf of OUTFRONT, including any fiduciary positions (including as a trustee) Executive holds with respect to any employee benefit plans or trusts established by OUTFRONT. Executive agrees that this Agreement shall serve as written notice of resignation in this circumstance. If, however, for any reason this paragraph 7(g) is deemed insufficient to effectuate such resignation, Executive agrees to execute, upon the request of OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies, any documents or instruments which OUTFRONT may deem reasonably necessary or desirable to effectuate such resignation or resignations, and Executive hereby authorizes the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary of OUTFRONT or any of OUTFRONT’s Affiliated Companies to execute any such documents or instruments as Executive’s attorney-in-fact.
(h)    Release; Compliance with Paragraph 6.
(i)    Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to payment by OUTFRONT of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to paragraph 7(b)(ii), 7(e) or 7(f), as applicable, (A) Executive shall have executed and delivered to OUTFRONT a release (for the benefit of OUTFRONT and its Affiliated Companies, directors, officers, employees, agents and assigns) in substantially the form as set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the “Release”), and (B) the Release shall have become effective and irrevocable in its entirety not later than the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s date of termination (the date on which the Release becomes effective, the “Release Effective Date”); provided, however, that if, at the time any cash severance payments are scheduled to be paid to Executive and any portion of Executive’s RSUs or other equity awards that constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payments and awards under Section 409A) is scheduled to be settled, in either case pursuant to paragraph 7(b)(ii), 7(e), or 7(f), as applicable (together, “Payments”), Executive has not executed a general release that has become effective and irrevocable in its entirety, then any such Payments shall be held and accumulated without interest, and shall be paid to Executive on the first Regular Payroll Date following the Release Effective Date. Executive’s failure or refusal to sign and deliver the release or Executive’s revocation of an executed and delivered release in accordance with applicable laws, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in the forfeiture of the payments and benefits under paragraph 7(b)(ii), 7(e), or 7(f), as applicable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such sixty (60) day period ends in a calendar year subsequent to the year in which Executive’s employment ends, no Payments shall be made until the first Regular Payroll Date in such following calendar year that occurs on or after the Release Effective Date. If any Payments are delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence, the first such Payment to be made shall include all Payments that would have been made following the date of termination of Executive’s employment but for such delay.
(ii)    Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the payments and benefits described in paragraph 7(b)(ii), 7(e), or 7(f), as applicable, shall immediately cease, and OUTFRONT shall not have any further obligations to Executive

19


with respect thereto, in the event that Executive materially breaches any provision of paragraph 6 hereof.
(iii)    Termination of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (except as otherwise provided in paragraph 7(b)(ii), 7(e), or 7(f), as applicable, with respect to medical and dental benefits), participation in all OUTFRONT benefit plans and programs (including, without limitation, vacation accrual, all retirement and related excess plans and LTD) will terminate upon the termination of Executive’s employment except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in such plans or programs, and subject to any vested rights Executive may have under the terms of such plans or programs. The foregoing shall not apply to the LTIP and, after the termination of Executive’s employment, Executive’s rights under the LTIP shall be governed by the terms of the LTIP award agreements, certificates, the applicable LTIP plan(s) and this Agreement.
8.    Indemnification.
(a)    OUTFRONT agrees that if Executive is made a party to, threatened to be made a party to, receives any legal process in, or receives any discovery request or request for information in connection with, any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that Executive is or was a director, officer, employee, consultant or agent of OUTFRONT, or is or was serving at the written request of, or on behalf of, OUTFRONT as a director, officer, member, employee, consultant or agent of another corporation, limited liability corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is Executive’s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member, employee, consultant or agent of OUTFRONT or other entity, Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by OUTFRONT to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by OUTFRONT’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or, if greater, by applicable law, against any and all costs, expenses, liabilities and losses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred, judgments, fines, taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and any reasonable cost and fees incurred in enforcing Executive’s rights to indemnification or contribution) incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even though Executive has ceased to be a director, officer, member, employee, consultant or agent of OUTFRONT or other entity and shall inure to the benefit of Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators. OUTFRONT shall be responsible for reimbursing Executive for all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Executive in connection with any Proceeding within twenty (20) business days after receipt by OUTFRONT of a written request for such reimbursement and appropriate documentation associated with these expenses. Such request shall include an undertaking by Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses.
(b)    To the extent that OUTFRONT maintains officers’ and directors’ liability insurance, Executive will be covered under such policy to the same extent as its other similarly-situated senior executives subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth therein.

9.    No Acceptance of Payments. Executive represents that Executive has not accepted or given nor will Executive accept or give, directly or indirectly, any money, services or other valuable consideration from or to anyone other than OUTFRONT for the inclusion of any matter as part of any film, television program or other production produced, distributed and/or developed by OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies.

Accordingly, Executive agrees that this Agreement and all matters or issues arising out of or relating to Executive’s OUTFRONT employment shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely therein without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
14.    No Implied Contract. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any obligation on OUTFRONT or Executive to renew this Agreement or any portion thereof. The parties intend to be bound only upon execution of a written agreement and no negotiation,

16.    Void Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement, as applied to either party or to any circumstances, shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable but would be enforceable if some part were deleted or the period or area of application were reduced, then such provision shall apply with the modification necessary to make it enforceable, and shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.
17.    Supersedes Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes and cancels all prior agreements relating to Executive’s employment by OUTFRONT or any of its Affiliated Companies relating to the subject matter herein, except to the extent any prior written agreement between the parties hereto expressly provides that it shall not be superseded or canceled by this Agreement.
18.    Payment of Deferred Compensation — Section 409A. The parties hereto intend that all payments and benefits to be made or provided to Executive hereunder either will be exempt from, or will be paid or provided in compliance with all applicable requirements of Section 409A, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent. In furtherance of such intent, the following provisions shall apply notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary:
(a)    All payments to be made to Executive hereunder, to the extent they are subject to the requirements of Section 409A (after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payments thereunder), shall be made no later, and shall not be made any earlier, than at the time or times specified herein for such payments to be made, except as otherwise permitted or required under Section 409A.
(b)    The date of Executive’s “separation from service”, as defined in Section 409A, shall be treated as the Executive’s date of termination for purposes of determining the time of payment of any amount that is subject to Section 409A (after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payments thereunder) that becomes payable to the Executive hereunder upon Executive’s termination of employment.
(c)    To the extent any payment otherwise required to be made to Executive hereunder on account of Executive’s separation from service is properly treated as subject to Section 409A (after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payment thereunder), and Executive is a “specified employee” under Section 409A at the time of Executive’s separation from service, then such payment shall not be made until the first business day after the earlier of (i) the expiration of six (6) months from the date of Executive’s separation from service, or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (such first business day, the “Delayed Payment Date”). On the Delayed Payment Date, there

22


shall be paid to Executive or, if Executive has died, to Executive’s estate, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(d)    In the case of any amounts payable hereunder to Executive in the form of a series of installment payments, each such installment payment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.
(e)    To the extent that the reimbursement of any expenses eligible for reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefits hereunder is subject to Section 409A (after taking into account all exclusions applicable thereunder to such reimbursements and benefits): (i) reimbursement of any such expense shall be made no later than December 31st of the year following the year in which Executive incur such expense; (ii) the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, during any calendar year shall not affect the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other calendar year: and (iii) Executive’s right to receive such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. In addition, if any reimbursements would constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A, the amount to be reimbursed will be limited to Executive’s lifetime and the lifetime of Executive’s eligible dependents and the amount eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year.
(f)    In no event whatsoever (including, but not limited to, as a result of this paragraph 18 or otherwise) shall OUTFRONT or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates be liable for any tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Executive under Section 409A. Neither OUTFRONT nor any of its affiliates has any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Executive harmless from any or all such taxes, interest or penalties, or liability for any damages related thereto. Executive acknowledges that Executive has been advised to obtain independent legal, tax or other counsel in connection with Section 409A.
19.    Arbitration. If any disagreement or dispute whatsoever shall arise between the parties concerning, arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including the documents referenced herein) or Executive’s employment with OUTFRONT, the parties hereto agree that such disagreement or dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), and that a neutral arbitrator will be selected in a manner consistent with its Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (the “Rules”).
