*   Mr. Parry resigned his position as Chief Executive Officer of Clear Channel International on May 27, 2005 and remains a non-executive level employee with us.
 
(1)   As a result of our high public profile and due in part to threats against Clear Channel, its operations and management, our Board has engaged an outside security consultant to assess security risks to Clear Channel’s physical plant and operations, as well as its employees, including executive management. Based upon the findings and recommendation of this security consultant, management and our Board implemented numerous security measures for our operations and employees, including a general security program covering selected senior executives. We believe the costs associated with the security measures mentioned above are legitimate business expenses and are not maintained as perquisites or otherwise for the personal benefit of such executives.
 
    For security purposes and at the direction of the Board, Messrs. L. Mays, M. Mays and R. Mays utilize a Clear Channel plane for all business and personal air travel. In addition, Mr. L. Mays is provided with personal protection services at his residence and on other appropriate occasions. Because these costs are incurred as a result of business-related concerns and are not perquisites maintained for the benefit of Messrs. L. Mays, M. Mays or R. Mays, Clear Channel has not included such costs in the Other Annual Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table.
 
    Nonetheless, in the interest of transparency, the incremental cost to us for personal use of Clear Channel’s aircraft by Messrs. L. Mays, M. Mays and R. Mays in 2005 was $36,293, $42,660, and $39,332, respectively.
 
(2)   Mr. M. Mays was our President and Chief Operating Officer from February 1997 until his appointment as our President and Chief Executive Officer in October 2004. He relinquished his duties as President in February 2006.

(1)   Present value for this option was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rate ranging from 3.76% to 4.33%, a dividend yield ranging from 1.46% to 2.36%, an expected volatility factor of 25% and the expected life ranging from 5 years to 7.5 years. The present value of stock options granted is based on a theoretical option-pricing model. In actuality, because Clear Channel’s employee stock options are not traded on an exchange, optionees can receive no value nor derive any benefit from holding stock options under these plans without an increase in the market price of Clear Channel stock. Such an increase in stock price would benefit all shareholders commensurately.
 
(2)   As a result of the December 21, 2005 spin-off of Clear Channel’s entertainment division, the 210,000 options granted on January 12, 2005 at the exercise price of $31.42 per share were subsequently adjusted to 217,684 options at an exercise price of $30.3107 per share. This adjustment was pursuant to the recapitalization provision of the stock option plan and was determined using an intrinsic value method.
 
(3)   As a result of the December 21, 2005 spin-off of Clear Channel’s entertainment division, the 45,000 options granted on February 16, 2005 at the exercise price of $34.34 per share were subsequently adjusted to 47,001 options at an exercise price of $32.8777 per share. This adjustment was pursuant to the recapitalization provision of the stock option plan and was determined using an intrinsic value method.
 
(4)   As a result of the December 21, 2005 spin-off of Clear Channel’s entertainment division, the 100,000 options granted on January 12, 2005 at the exercise price of $31.42 per share were subsequently adjusted to 103,659 options at an exercise price of $30.3107 per share.

Employment Agreements
     On March 10, 2005, Clear Channel entered into amended and restated employment agreements with its three senior executives, L. Lowry Mays (Chairman), Mark Mays (Chief Executive Officer) and Randall Mays (President and Chief Financial Officer). These agreements amended and restated existing employment agreements dated October 1, 1999 between Clear Channel and the three executives. Each amended and restated agreement has a term of seven years with automatic daily extensions unless Clear Channel or the executive elects not to extend the agreement. Each of these employment agreements provides for a minimum base salary, subject to review and annual increase by the Compensation Committee. In addition, each agreement provides for an annual bonus pursuant to Clear Channel’s Annual Incentive Plan or as the Executive Performance Subcommittee determines. The employment agreements with the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President and Chief Financial Officer provide for base minimum salaries of $350,000, $350,000 and $325,000, respectively, and for minimum option grants to acquire 50,000 shares of Clear Channel common stock; provided, however, that the annual option grant will not be smaller than the option grant in the preceding year unless waived by the executive. Each option will be exercisable at fair market value at the date of grant for a ten-year period even if the executive is not employed by Clear Channel. The Compensation Committee or the Executive Performance Subcommittee will determine the schedule upon which the options will vest and become exercisable.
     Each of these executive employment agreements provides for severance and change-in-control payments in the event that Clear Channel terminates an executive’s employment without “Cause” or if the executive terminates for “Good Reason.” “Cause” is narrowly defined, and any determination of “Cause” is subject to a supermajority vote of the independent members of Clear Channel’s independent directors. “Good Reason” includes defined change-in-control transactions involving Clear Channel, Clear Channel’s election not to automatically extend the term of the employment agreement, a diminution in the executive’s pay, duties or title or, (1) in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, at any time that the office of Chairman is held by someone other than L. Lowry Mays, Mark Mays or Randall Mays; or (2) in the case of the President and Chief Financial Officer, at any time that either of the offices of Chairman or Chief Executive Officer is held by someone other than L. Lowry Mays, Mark Mays or Randall Mays. If an executive is terminated by Clear Channel without “Cause” or the executive resigns for “Good Reason” then that executive will receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to the base salary and bonus that otherwise would have been paid for the remainder of the term of the agreement (using the highest bonus paid to executive in the three years preceding the termination but not less than $1,000,000 bonus for the Chief Executive Officer or the President and Chief Financial Officer, and $3,000,000 bonus for the Chairman), continuation of benefits, immediate vesting on the date of termination of all stock options held by the executive on the date of termination, and either: (i) an option to acquire 1,000,000 shares of Clear Channel’s common stock at fair market value as of the date of termination that is fully vested and exercisable for a period of ten years, or (ii) a grant of a number of shares of Clear Channel’s common stock equal to: (a) 1,000,000, divided by (b) the number computed by dividing: (x) the last reported sale price of Clear Channel’s common stock on the NYSE at the close of the trading day immediately preceding the date of termination of executive’s employment, by (y) the value of the stock option described in clause (i) above as determined by Clear Channel in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Certain tax gross up payments would also be due on such amounts. In the event the executive’s employment is terminated without “Cause” or for “Good Reason,” the employment agreements also restrict the executive’s business activities that compete with the business of Clear Channel for a period of two years following such termination.
     On August 5, 2005, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of Clear Channel, entered into an employment agreement with Paul J. Meyer, which replaced the existing employment agreement by and between Mr. Meyer and the Company. The initial term of the new agreement ends on the third anniversary of the date of the agreement; the term automatically extends one day at a time beginning on the second anniversary of the date of the agreement, unless one party gives the other one year’s notice of expiration at or prior to the second anniversary of the date of the agreement. The contract calls for Mr. Meyer to be the President and Chief Operating Officer of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. for a base salary of $600,000 in the first year of the agreement; $625,000 in the second year of the agreement; and $650,000 in the third year of the agreement, subject to additional annual raises thereafter in accordance with company policies. Mr. Meyer is also eligible to receive a performance bonus as decided at the sole discretion of the board of directors and the compensation committee of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc.

     Mr. Meyer may terminate his employment at any time after the second anniversary of the date of the agreement upon one year’s written notice. Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. may terminate Mr. Meyer without “Cause” after the second anniversary of the date of the agreement upon one year’s written notice. “Cause” is narrowly defined in the agreement. If Mr. Meyer is terminated without “Cause,” he is entitled to receive a lump sum payment of accrued and unpaid base salary and prorated bonus, if any, and any payments to which he may be entitled under any applicable employee benefit plan. Mr. Meyer is prohibited by his employment agreement from activities that compete with Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. for one year after he leaves Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. and he is prohibited from soliciting Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. employees for employment for 12 months after termination regardless of the reason for termination of employment.
     Effective February 1, 2004, Clear Channel Broadcasting, Inc. (“CCB”), a subsidiary of Clear Channel, entered into an employment agreement with John Hogan as President and Chief Executive Officer, Clear Channel Radio. The initial term of the agreement ended on January 31, 2006, but now automatically renews for successive one-day terms until terminated by either party.
     The agreement provides that CCB will pay Mr. Hogan an annual base salary of $550,000 for the period from February 1, 2004 through January 31, 2005; and $600,000 for the period from February 1, 2005 through January 31, 2006. Mr. Hogan will be eligible for additional annual raises after January 31, 2006 commensurate with company policy. No later than March 31 of each calendar year during the term, Mr. Hogan will be eligible to receive a performance bonus. The agreement also provided that Mr. Hogan receive a one-time grant of 50,000 options to purchase Clear Channel stock. Any future stock option grants will be granted based upon the performance of Mr. Hogan, which will be assessed in the sole discretion of CCB and the Compensation Committee of the Board. Mr. Hogan will also be entitled to participate in all pension, profit sharing, and other retirement plans, all incentive compensation plans, and all group health, hospitalization and disability or other insurance plans, paid vacation, sick leave and other employee welfare benefit plans in which other similarly situated employees may participate.
     Since Mr. Hogan’s contract renews daily for successive one-day terms, Mr. Hogan’s employment may now be terminated by either CCB or Mr. Hogan at any time. If Mr. Hogan’s employment with CCB is terminated by CCB without Cause, CCB will: (1) pay Mr. Hogan his base salary for one year; and (2) pay Mr. Hogan any payments to which he may be entitled under any applicable employee benefit plan; and (3) pay Mr. Hogan $1,600,000.00 over 3 years commencing on the effective date of the termination and in accordance with CCB’s standard payroll practices as consideration for certain non-compete obligations. “Cause” is narrowly defined in the agreement. If Mr. Hogan terminates his own employment for any reason, CCB will pay Mr. Hogan his then current base salary for one year. Mr. Hogan is prohibited by the agreement from activities that compete with CCB or its affiliates for one year after he leaves CCB, and he is prohibited from soliciting CCB’s employees for employment for 12 months after termination regardless of the reason for termination of employment.
     Effective May 27, 2005, Roger Parry and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (“CCO”), a subsidiary of Clear Channel, entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which Mr. Parry resigned his position as Chief Executive Officer of Clear Channel International. From June 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006, CCO agreed to pay Mr. Parry a base salary of Pound Sterling 37,493.75 per month, and a car allowance of Pound Sterling 3,124.50 per month. In addition, Mr. Parry is eligible to receive a performance based bonus. From June 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006, Mr. Parry will continue to have the right to participate in employee benefit plans as in effect on the effective date of the letter agreement. Beginning on June 1, 2006 through May 31, 2009, Mr. Parry will continue to be employed by CCO as a non-executive level employee at a salary of Pound Sterling 2,000.00 per month. After May 31, 2006, Mr. Parry will no longer be eligible to receive bonus compensation. Mr. Parry agreed to certain non-competition covenants during the term of the letter agreement.
