aware of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a Breach of any of the
representations and warranties of Sunburst in this Agreement, or if Sunburst

condition that would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause
or constitute a Breach of any such representation or warranty had such
representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery
of such fact or condition. Should any such fact or condition require any change
in the Schedules if the Schedules were dated the date of the occurrence or
discovery of any such fact or condition between the date of this Agreement and

to the Schedules specifying such change and (ii) notify Entravision of the
occurrence of any Breach of any covenant of Sunburst in this Article 6 or of the

provided, however, that an interruption or discontinuance in broadcast
transmissions due either to (a) a disruption in power provided by a utility
provider or (b) normal and customary repair, replacement, tuning, adjusting and
maintenance of equipment will not be deemed a Service Interruption. If between
the date hereof and the Closing, any of KVLY(FM), KKPS(FM) or KFRQ(FM) has

shall proceed as though a Service Interruption has not occurred. In addition,
if at the time of any proposed Closing, any of the Stations shall not be
broadcasting from its main licensed transmitter site with at least eighty

6.10 Third-Party Consents and Estoppel Certificates. Attached hereto as
----------------------------------------------
Schedule 6.10 is a list of those Assignable Contracts (each a "Schedule 6.10
-------------
Contract") with respect to which Sunburst has agreed to use its Best Efforts to
seek the Consent of the other party(ies) to such Contracts to the assignment and
assumption of such Contracts from Sunburst to Entravision upon the Closing. If
Sunburst is unable to obtain third-party Consent to such assignment and
assumption of any Schedule 6.10 Contract identified under the heading "Other
Consents," then Sunburst shall continue after the Closing using its Best Efforts
after the Closing to obtain any such Consent. Until such time as such Consent
has been obtained, Sunburst will hold and administer the affected Contract for
the sole and exclusive benefit of, and at the sole cost and expense of,
Entravision. If Sunburst is unable to obtain third-party Consent to such
assignment and assumption of any Schedule 6.10 Contract identified under the
heading "Real Property Consents," then Entravision shall have the option
exercisable within ten (10) days after Sunburst notifies Entravision of such
fact to either (i) terminate this Agreement without any liability of either
party hereto and Entravision shall receive a refund of the Escrow Deposit or
(ii) waive the condition to the Closing that such Consent be obtained and
proceed with the Closing if the Contemplated Transactions and direct Sunburst to
hold and administer the affected Contract for the sole and exclusive benefit of,
and at the sole cost and expense of, Entravision. Sunburst will also request
reasonable, normal and customary estoppel certificates, in a form supplied by
Entravision, from the landlords under all Real Property Leases and will use Best
Efforts to obtain such certificates; provided that if such estoppel certificates
are not obtained, Sunburst shall have no liability to Entravision and the
failure to obtain any estoppel certificate will not excuse Entravision's
obligation to perform hereunder.
6.11 No Inconsistent Action. Sunburst shall not take any action which is
----------------------

hinder or delay the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions. Sunburst

------------
tangible Assets to be conveyed to Entravision hereunder from fire or other
casualty or cause shall be upon Sunburst at all times up to the Closing Date and
it shall be the responsibility of Sunburst to repair or to cause to be repaired
and to restore the Assets to their condition prior to any such loss or damage
or, at its sole option, in lieu of performing such repair and restoration
obligations, Sunburst may tender to Entravision the insurance proceeds in the
amount sufficient to fully repair and restore such Assets. In the event of any
such loss or damage, Sunburst shall notify Entravision of the same in writing
immediately, specifying with particularity the loss or damage incurred, the
cause thereof (if know or reasonably ascertainable) and the insurance coverage
applicable to such loss and the estimated amount of the loss in excess of the
insurance proceeds plus deductible. If the loss exceeds the insurance proceeds
plus deductible by more than $500,000, Entravision shall have the option to
either (i) terminate this Agreement without being deemed in Breach of the
Agreement or (ii) proceed to the Closing and deducting the amount by which the
loss exceeds the insurance proceeds plus deductible from the Purchase Price.
6.14 Surveys. With respect to each parcel of Real Property as to which an
-------
owner's title insurance policy is to be procured, Sunburst will assist
Entravision in the procurement of a current land title survey of the Real
Property certified to Entravision prepared by a licensed surveyor and
conforming, as to Texas real estate, to current Texas Land Title Association
Minimum Detail Requirements for Land Title Surveys disclosing the location of
all improvements, easements, party walls, sidewalks, roadways, utility lines and
other matters shown customarily on such surveys, and showing access
affirmatively to public streets and roads (the "Surveys"). If any of the
Surveys shall disclose any problems with access to and from a public roadway,
the encroachment or protrusion of improvements from or onto the Real Property or
any similar defects which substantially impair the current use or occupancy the
Real Property as a tower site or studio site, as applicable, then such matter
will either be cured by Sunburst prior to the Closing or insured over by the

Section 11.2 below. Entravision shall pay the cost of the Surveys.
6.15 Environmental Assessments. Sunburst will assist Entravision in

Assessment ("ESA") and, if suggested by the Phase I ESA, a Phase II ESA, from an
environmental consultant or engineer reasonably satisfactory to Entravision. If
any of the ESAs shall conclude that there is an environmental condition that
needs remediation or if any event should occur on any property covered by the
ESAs prior to the Closing (which is not directly caused by Entravision) that
results in an environmental condition requiring remediation, then Sunburst shall
provide for such remediation at Sunburst's own cost prior to the Closing, or if
Entravision elects, credit the Purchase Price at the Closing with the estimated
amount of the remediation and final accounting once remediation is completed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the estimated cost of any such remediation
shall exceed $500,000 and if Entravision does not elect to pay for the
remediation costs in excess of $500,000, then either party shall have the right
to terminate this Agreement without any

10.2 Rights of Parties for Nonperformance or Upon Termination.
--------------------------------------------------------
(a) If Sunburst does not have a right to terminate under Section 10.1
above, but Sunburst refuses to close the Contemplated Transactions or prevents
the Closing due to a Breach of this Agreement, Entravision shall have the right
to waive any grounds it may have to terminate under Section 10.1 above and to
obtain specific performance of the obligations of Sunburst to consummate the
Contemplated Transactions. Sunburst acknowledges and agrees that the Assets and
the Stations are unique assets and Sunburst expressly agrees monetary damages
would be inadequate to compensate Entravision for the refusal of Sunburst to
perform the obligations for which the remedy of specific performance is granted
herein. Accordingly, Sunburst acknowledges and agrees that such refusal to
perform will cause irreparable injury to Entravision and that Entravision shall
be entitled to obtain injunctive relief for specific performance of the
obligations specifically listed in this Section 10.2.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than by
Sunburst under Section 10.1(b)(i) above on account of the failure of the
conditions precedent set forth in any of Sections 8.2(a), (b), (c) and/or (d)

the return of the entire Escrow Deposit, plus interest. If this Agreement is
terminated by Sunburst under Section 10.1(b)(i) above on account of the failure
of the conditions precedent set forth in any of Sections 8.2(a), (b), (c) and/or
(d) above, the parties acknowledge and agree that Sunburst shall be entitled to
receive the entire Escrow Deposit, less interest. In such event, Entravision
shall immediately instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver the Escrow Deposit, less
interest, to Sunburst. The parties acknowledge and agree that the remedy
provided to Sunburst in this Section 10.2(b) shall not constitute either
liquidated damages or Sunburst's sole remedy for a Breach of this Agreement by
Entravision.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated as provided in this Article 10,
the Contemplated Transactions shall be abandoned without further action, rights
or obligations by the parties hereto to one another, and all filings,
applications and other submissions made hereunder shall, to the extent
practicable, be withdrawn from the Persons to which they were made; provided,

Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement
prior to such termination.

(f) any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder's fees or
commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding
alleged to have been made by such Person with Entravision (or any Person acting
on its behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.
11.5 Procedure for Indemnification -- Third-Party Claims.
---------------------------------------------------
(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party in this Article 11
of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified
party will, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under such
article, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such
claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the
indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party,
except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense
of such action is prejudiced by the indemnified party's failure to give such
notice.
(b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 11.5(a) above is brought
against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of
the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will, unless the
claim involves Taxes, be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the
extent that it wishes (unless the indemnifying party is also a party to such
Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint
representation would be inappropriate or the indemnifying party fails to provide
reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to
defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such
Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory
to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the
indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the
indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be
liable to the indemnified party under this section for any fees of other counsel
or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each
case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the
defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If
the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding: (i) it will be
conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in
that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no
compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying
party without the indemnified party's consent unless there is no finding or
admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights
of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the
indemnified party and the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid
in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the indemnified party will have no
liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected
without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the
commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten
(10) days after the indemnified party's notice is given, give notice to the
indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the
indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or
any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.
-35-
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines
in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may
adversely affect it or its Related Persons other than as a result of monetary
damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement,
the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the
exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Proceeding, but the
indemnifying party will not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so
defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its written consent
(which may not be unreasonably withheld).
11.6 Procedure for Indemnification -- Other Claims. A claim for
---------------------------------------------
indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted
by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.
11.7 Limitation on Amount. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of
--------------------
this Article 11 and except as provided below, the parties shall have no
liability to the other with respect to the indemnification obligations under
this Article 11 unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages equal or exceed
$25,000 (the "Threshold Amount"). At such time as the aggregate Damages equal
or exceed the Threshold Amount, the parties shall be indemnified to the full
extent of all such Damages (including Damages counted in determining whether the
aggregate Damages equal or exceed the Threshold Amount). Notwithstanding the
preceding provisions of this section, the Threshold Amount shall not apply and
each party shall be fully liable for indemnification claims for (i) payment of
Station Expenses, (ii) performance by Entravision of the Assumed Liabilities,
(iii) payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Contemplated
Transaction, (iv) intentional or fraudulent Breach by either party of any
representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement or
(v) remittance to Sunburst of the collections on the Accounts Receivable.
11.8 Maximum Indemnification. The aggregate amount of all claims subject
-----------------------
to indemnification hereunder by Sunburst, on one hand, and Entravision, on the
other hand, shall not exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000); provided,
however, that the amount of any Damages incurred by a party pursuant to this
Article 11 shall be reduced by (i) the actual tax benefit realized with respect
to payment of all or any portion of such Damages by the indemnified party and
(ii) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually paid to such indemnified
party as reimbursement for such Damages.
11.9 Exclusivity. Each of the parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that
-----------
from and after the Closing, and except in cases of fraud or intentional
misconduct, the indemnity obligations set forth in this Article 11 shall
constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of either party with respect to the
Contemplated Transactions.
ARTICLE 12.
POST-CLOSING COVENANTS
-36-
The parties agree as follows with respect to the period following the
Closing:
12.1 Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing any
------------------
further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of
the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery
of such further instruments and documents) as any other party reasonably may
request, all the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the
requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article 11
above). After the Closing, Sunburst will execute any further documents
consistent with this Agreement, provide any further reasonably available
information and take any other actions not imposing significant financial or
operational obligations in excess of the other obligations imposed by this
Agreement, upon the request of Entravision based upon Entravision's reasonable
determination that those actions are required to enable Entravision to
effectuate this Agreement. After the Closing, Entravision will execute any
further documents consistent with this Agreement, provide any further reasonably
available information and take any other actions not imposing significant
financial or operational obligations in excess of the other obligations imposed
by this Agreement, upon the request of Sunburst based upon Sunburst's reasonable
determination that those actions are required to enable Sunburst to effectuate
this Agreement.
12.2 Access to Books and Records. At Sunburst's reasonable request,
---------------------------
Entravision shall provide Sunburst with reasonable access during business hours
to such books and records of the Stations as Sunburst may reasonably require to
comply with its tax reporting and filing obligations or to collect any unpaid
Accounts Receivable.
12.3 Confidential Information. Entravision shall continue treat as
------------------------
confidential after the Closing Date, in the same manner as required by Section
13.3 below prior to the Closing Date, all of the information regarding Sunburst
(exclusive of information relating to the Stations and the operations of the
Stations) received from Sunburst in connection with the Contemplated
Transactions.
12.4 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as either party is
------------------
actively contesting or defending against any charge, complaint, Proceeding,
claim or demand in connection with any fact, situation, circumstance, status,
condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action,
failure to act or transaction involving the Stations, the other party will
provide reasonable access to its books and records as shall be necessary in
connection with the contest or defense, all at the sole cost and expense of the
contesting or defending party (unless the contesting or defending party is
entitled to indemnification therefor under Article 11 above); provided, however,
that such access and cooperation does not unreasonably disrupt the normal
operations of the cooperating party.
12.5 Collection of Accounts Receivable.
---------------------------------
(a) For a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the last
day of the fourth (4th) full calendar month following the Closing Date (such
period is referred to as
-37-
the "Collection Period"), Entravision will have the right and the obligation to
collect for the account of Sunburst the Accounts Receivable. Within three (3)
business days following the Closing Date, Sunburst will furnish Entravision with
a complete Accounts Receivable list current as of the Closing Date, detailing
customer name, amount owed, aging and invoice numbers.
(b) All receipts on the collection of an Account Receivable from a
particular account debtor shall be applied first to the oldest outstanding
invoice, unless the payment is made with reference to a specific invoice, in
which case the payment shall be allocated to the specific invoice. Any monies
or payments received by Entravision which are in payment for commercial air time
or for other services or business provided by Entravision on or after the
Closing Date shall belong to Entravision and Entravision shall not be obligated
to remit any of such sums to Sunburst. Entravision will not, without the
written consent of Sunburst, compromise or settle for less than full value any
of the Accounts Receivable.
(c) If any account debtor shall dispute its obligation to Sunburst,
if any account debtor shall pay any invoice of Entravision's before having paid
in full all outstanding invoices due to Sunburst or if any Account Receivable
shall be deemed uncollectible by Entravision, then Entravision shall notify
Sunburst of same and the rights to collect such disputed, unpaid or deemed
uncollectible account will thereupon revert to Sunburst and Entravision will
thereafter have no further responsibility with respect to the collection
thereof.
(d) On the tenth (10th) day of each month immediately following each
calendar month end during the Collection Period, Entravision will provide
Sunburst with a list of all Accounts Receivable collected during the preceding
calendar month and Entravision will at that time also remit to Sunburst all sums
collected by Entravision in connection with the Accounts Receivable (and not
theretofore remitted to Sunburst) during such preceding month, without offset or
deduction.
(e) The obligation of Entravision hereunder will be to use reasonable
efforts to collect the Accounts Receivable in the Ordinary Course of Business
and does not extend to the institution of litigation, employment of counsel or
other collection agency, or any other extraordinary means of collection,
including the sending of demand letters. If requested by Entravision, Sunburst
will provide Entravision with a power of attorney which will be sufficient for
the purposes of evidencing to the various account debtors the exclusive
authority of Entravision to collect the Accounts Receivable.
(f) At the conclusion of the Collection Period, the collection rights
to all of the remaining uncollected Accounts Receivable shall automatically
revert to Sunburst, and Entravision will thereafter have no further
responsibility with respect to the collection of the Accounts Receivable.
12.6 Cooperation Regarding Financial Information. Sunburst acknowledges
-------------------------------------------
that Entravision will use compilations, carve out audits and other derivatives
of Sunburst's financial
-38-
information regarding the Stations in connection with future public filings of
Entravision filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Public Filings"). For a
period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, Sunburst shall cooperate in a
commercially reasonable manner with Entravision so that Entravision may obtain
any additional information concerning the Stations that Sunburst has in its
possession that Entravision may need for the preparation of its Public Filings,
in each case at Entravision's sole cost and expense. The foregoing cooperation
of Sunburst shall consist of Sunburst (i) supplying financial information
related to the Stations and (ii) granting Entravision (and its accountants)
access to (a) the books and records relating to the Stations, (b) Sunburst
personnel who are knowledgeable about such books and records and (c) subject to
their consent, Sunburst's outside accountants.
ARTICLE 13.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
--------
each party to this Agreement will bear its respective expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and
the Contemplated Transactions, including all fees and expenses of agents,
representatives, counsel and accountants.
13.2 Public Announcements. Other than those incidental to filings
--------------------
required to comply with Legal Requirements, neither party shall make any public
announcement, press release or similar publicity with respect to this Agreement
or the Contemplated Transactions, regardless of whether the Contemplated
Transactions are consummated, without the prior written consent of the other
party. The parties will consult with each other concerning the means by which
the employees, customers and suppliers of Sunburst and others having dealings
with Sunburst will be informed of the Contemplated Transactions, and Entravision
will have the right to be present for any such communication.
13.3 Confidentiality. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing
---------------
Date, the parties will maintain in confidence, and will cause the
Representatives of Entravision and Sunburst to maintain in confidence, any
information furnished by another party in connection with this Agreement or the
Contemplated Transactions, unless (i) such information is already known to such
party or to others not bound by a duty of confidentiality or such information
becomes publicly available through no fault of such party, (ii) the use of such
information is necessary or appropriate in making any filing or obtaining any
Consent required for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or (iii)
the furnishing or use of such information is required by or necessary or
appropriate in connection with legal Proceedings. If the Contemplated
Transactions are not consummated, each party will return or destroy as much of
such written information as the other party may reasonably request. Whether or
not the Closing takes place, Sunburst waives any cause of action, right or claim
arising out of the access of Entravision or its Representatives to any trade
secrets or other confidential information of
-39-
Sunburst except for the intentional competitive misuse by Entravision of such
trade secrets or confidential information.
13.4 No Solicitation of Employees. If this Agreement shall terminate
----------------------------
without the Closing having occurred, or, if the Closing has occurred, except as
otherwise provided for in Article 9 above, Entravision agrees that neither it
nor any Related Person of Entravision will employ or solicit the employment of
any employee of Sunburst at the Stations or any other employee of Sunburst or
employee of any Related Person of Sunburst for a period of two years from and
after the date hereof.

other documents and to do such other acts and things, all as the other party may
reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement
and the documents referred to in this Agreement.
13.7 Waiver. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are
------
cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party
in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the
documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right,
power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power
or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or
privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) no claim or right arising out of
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged
by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or
right unless in writing signed by the other party, (ii) no waiver that may be
given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it
is given and (iii) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a
waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such
notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in
this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.
13.8 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement supersedes all
---------------------------------
prior agreements between the parties with respect to its subject matter,
including, without limitation, that certain Letter of Intent dated April 10,
2000, and constitutes (along with the recitals hereto, and the exhibits,
Schedules and documents referred to in this Agreement) a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to its
subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement
executed by the party to be charged with the amendment.
13.9 Schedules. The Schedules are hereby incorporated by reference into
---------
this Agreement in their entirety. The disclosures in the Schedules must relate
only to the

representations and warranties in the section of the Agreement to
which they expressly relate and not to any other representation or warranty in
this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the
body of this Agreement and those in the Schedules (other than an exception
expressly set forth as such in the Schedules with respect to a specifically
identified representation or warranty), the statements in the body of this
Agreement will control.
13.10 Assignment, Successors and No Third-Party Rights. Neither party may
------------------------------------------------
assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the
other parties, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that
either party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to any Related
Person; provided that such assignment will not delay, impede or impair the Final
FCC Consent process as compared to no such assignment having been made. Subject
to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all
respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns
of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be
construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or
any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and
conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this
Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns.

------------
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of

or interpretation. All references to "Section" or "Sections" refer to the

---------------
forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
13.14 Attorney's Fees. The prevailing party in any Proceeding relating to
---------------

(ii) any post-judgment or post-award proceeding including, without limitation,
one to enforce or collect any judgment or award resulting from the Proceeding.
All such judgments and awards shall contain a specific provision for the
