(iii) If, at any time prior to the completion of the resale by the Initial Purchaser of the Notes, any event shall occur as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable
-13-
opinion of counsel for the Initial Purchaser, to amend or supplement the Final Memorandum, in order to make such Final Memorandum not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser or if for any other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Final Memorandum in order to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations, the Issuers shall (subject to Section 5(i)) forthwith amend or supplement such Final Memorandum at their own expense so that, as so amended or supplemented, such Final Memorandum will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading and will comply with all applicable laws, rules or regulations.
(iv) The Issuers will, without charge, provide to the Initial Purchaser and to counsel for the Initial Purchaser as many copies of each of the Preliminary Memoranda or Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto as the Initial Purchaser may reasonably request.
(v) None of the Issuers or any of their respective Affiliates will sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any “security” (as defined in the Securities Act) which could be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration under the Securities Act of the Securities.
(vi) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as set forth under “Use of Proceeds” in the Final Memorandum.

(viii) The Company will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with the offering of the Securities or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
(ix) For so long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Company will make available at its expense, upon request, to any holder of Securities and any prospective purchasers thereof the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, unless the Company is then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(x) The Issuers will use their reasonable best efforts to (i) permit the Securities to be designated PORTAL securities in accordance with the rules and regulations adopted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

-14-
Securities to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company.
(xi) If this Agreement shall terminate or shall be terminated after execution pursuant to any provision hereof (other than by reason of a default or omission by the Initial Purchaser of its obligations hereunder) or if this Agreement shall be terminated by the Initial Purchaser because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Issuers to comply with the terms or fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Initial Purchaser for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchaser) incurred by the Initial Purchaser in connection herewith, but in no event will the Company be liable to the Initial Purchaser for damages on account of loss of anticipated profits from the sale of the Securities.
(xii) For so long as the Initial Purchaser continues to distribute Securities, the Issuers will file, within the time periods prescribed by the applicable Canadian Securities Laws, such documents and reports as may be required to be filed by the Issuers with Canadian Securities Regulators under the applicable Canadian Securities Laws relating to the private placement of Securities by the Initial Purchaser; provided that the Initial Purchaser has delivered a request to effect such filings together with such information as to permit the Issuers to do so, and the Issuers will pay any filing fee prescribed with respect thereto.
(xiii) The Issuers will use their reasonable best efforts to do and perform all things required to be done and performed by them under this Agreement and any other Basic Documents prior to or after the Closing Date and to satisfy all conditions precedent on their part to the obligations of the Initial Purchaser to purchase and accept delivery of the Securities.

(a) Each Issuer jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser, each director, officer, employee or agent of the Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Initial Purchaser or such director, officer, employee,
-20-
agent or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal, state or Canadian provincial statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in (A) the Preliminary Memoranda or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) any application or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, executed by any Issuer or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of any Issuer filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Securities under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws thereof or filed with the Commission or any securities association or securities exchange (collectively, the “Documents”); or
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state, in the Preliminary Memoranda or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any of the Documents, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will reimburse, as incurred, the Initial Purchaser and each such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser or such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that none of the Issuers will be liable in any such case to the Initial Purchaser or any director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person of the Initial Purchaser to the extent that any such loss, claim, damages, liability expense or action arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any of the Preliminary Memoranda or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuers by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser specifically for use therein; and provided, further, that none of the Issuers will be liable to the Initial Purchaser or any director, officer, employee, agent or any person controlling the Initial Purchaser with respect to any such untrue statement or omission made in any of the Preliminary Memoranda that is corrected in the Final Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability purchased Securities from the Initial Purchaser in reliance upon any of the Preliminary Memoranda but was not sent or given a copy of the Final Memorandum (as amended or supplemented) that was made available by the Issuers to the Initial Purchaser at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Securities to such person, unless such failure to deliver such Final Memorandum (as amended or supplemented) was a result of noncompliance by the Issuers with Section 5(iv) of this Agreement. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Issuers may otherwise have to the indemnified parties. The Issuers further agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement commitments set forth in this Section 8 shall apply whether or not the Initial Purchaser is a formal party to any such lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. None of the Issuers will, without the prior written consent of the Initial Purchaser, settle or compromise
-21-
or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification by the Initial Purchaser may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Initial Purchaser or any person who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of the Initial Purchaser and each such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser or any such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person.
(b) The Initial Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, their respective directors, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls any of the Issuers within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the Issuers or any such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any of the Preliminary Memoranda or the Final Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Document, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to any of the Issuers by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser specifically for use therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of the Issuers or any such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Initial Purchaser may otherwise have to the indemnified parties. The Issuers acknowledge that the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser for inclusion in the Preliminary Memoranda or the Final Memorandum is that referenced in Section 15 of this Agreement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) except to the extent that the indemnifying party is unaware of the commencement of such action and such omission results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party, other than the indemnification obligations provided under Section 8(a) or (b). In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the named
-22-
parties in any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that (i) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or (ii) other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to any such indemnifying party such that joint representations would not be appropriate, and/or (iii) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnifying party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest causing the representation to be inappropriate under applicable professional standards, then the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable out-of-pocket costs of investigation, incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one action or separate but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) or paragraph (b), as the case may be, who are parties to such action or actions); (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying parties; or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense or retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent, but if settled with the written consent of such indemnifying party, such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. An indemnifying party will not, without prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle any claim or action in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim or action.
(d) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect
-23-
thereof), each indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted for any reason, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof). The relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers on the one hand or the Initial Purchaser on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any such claim. The Issuers and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Issuers on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other hand were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), the Initial Purchaser shall not be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser under this Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any damages that the Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue or alleged untrue statements, and no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The [Guarantor] has the requisite corporate or other organizational power and authority and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to duly authorize the execution and delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee and the performance by the [Guarantor] of the transactions contemplated therein. The Subsidiary Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by the [Guarantor] and, assuming that the Subsidiary Guarantee is governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction] for the purpose of rendering the opinions set forth in this sentence, the Subsidiary Guarantee is in proper form under the applicable laws of [Jurisdiction] to constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the [Guarantor], enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, reorganization or other laws relating to creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity, whether considered in an action at law or in equity.
3. None of the [Guarantor’s] execution of, delivery of or performance of the obligations created under the Basic Documents to which the [Guarantor] is a party or compliance with the terms and provisions thereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein (i) will contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any governmental authority of which we have knowledge, except, in each such case, where such contravention, conflict, inconsistency, breach, violation, default, creation, imposition or obligation would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) will violate any provision of the [certificate of incorporation] or [by-laws] of the [Guarantor] and (iii) requires any license, permit, authorization, consent or other approval of, any exemption by, or any registration, recording or filing with, any court, administrative agency or other governmental authority of the [Jurisdiction].
4. To the best of such counsel’s knowledge, there are no judicial, administrative or arbitration orders, awards or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting the [Guarantor] in any court or before any governmental or regulatory agency or body or arbitration board or tribunal.
5. It is not necessary for the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement by any Trustee of the rights of the holders of the Notes under the Basic Documents to which the [Guarantor] is a party that such Trustee be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in any jurisdiction other than those jurisdictions where such Trustee is otherwise doing business.

7. A court in the [Jurisdiction] applying the choice of law principles of the [Jurisdiction] will give effect to the provisions in the Basic Documents which select the laws of the State of New York of the United States of America as the governing law thereof and will apply such laws, rather than the laws of the any other jurisdiction, to the enforceability, construction and application thereof.

On the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the statements set forth in the Final Memorandum under the captions (i) ”Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — A significant portion of our cash flow from operations has historically been attributable to distributions from Australia’s Network TEN; there can be no assurance that such distributions will continue at the same level or at all,” “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — Changes in government regulation could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations,” “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — We do not control and are not permitted to control some of our broadcasting assets,” “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — Changes in government regulation could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Network TEN,” “Business — Legal Proceedings,” “Regulation — Australian Television,” “Regulation — Republic of Ireland Television,” and “Regulation — Canadian Television,” insofar as such statements address matters of law or legal conclusions only, fairly present the matters disclosed therein in all material respects and (ii) ”Business — Australian Operations — Network TEN — Our Economic Interest in Network TEN,” insofar as such statements purport to summarize provisions of agreements or instruments, provides, in all material respects, a fair summary of such provisions of such agreements or instruments, in each case only to the extent such statements relate to subsidiaries of the Corporation or investments in
entities formed or operating in either Australia or the Republic of Ireland. In expressing the opinion set forth above, I have relied upon advice and input from legal counsel in Australia and the Republic of Ireland.
This letter is furnished by me as Vice President and General Counsel to the Corporation and is solely for the benefit of, and may be relied upon only by, the Initial Purchaser and is not to be made available to, quoted from or otherwise referred to for any other purpose without my prior written consent. I am a solicitor qualified to practice law in the Province of Manitoba and in this letter I am not purporting to provide, nor am I providing, any legal advice or opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. I am not qualified to and, except as stated in the previous paragraph, shall not be taken to be passing on any matter relating to the securities or other laws of Australia, Ireland or any other jurisdiction (other than the Province of Manitoba).
Yours very truly, |
