1. AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLE I—PURCHASE AND SALE/CLOSING
1.1 Exhibit B of the Original Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety and replaced with Exhibit B attached to this Second Amendment.
1.2 Section 1.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to state as follows:
"1.4 The Closings.
(a) Initial Closing. The parties acknowledge and agree that the FCC issued an initial grant of an FCC Order for all of the Stations on May 21, 2001 (the "Initial FCC Order"). Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, the initial closing of the purchase and sale of Stock (the "Initial Closing") shall occur at the offices of O'Melveny & Xxxxx LLP, 0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, on the third (3rd) business day following the date of the initial grant of the last order of the FCC (or the Chief, Mass Media Bureau of the FCC, acting under delegated authority) with respect to the applications filed by Buyer on May 31, 2001, consenting (the "FCC 316 Consent") to the assignment of Buyer's right to take delivery of the Stock of the O&O Subsidiaries owning the Stations in Miami, Dallas and Atlanta to Univision Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and Affiliated Assignee ("Newco"), or at such other time and place as the parties mutually agree in writing (the date on which the Initial Closing shall occur, the "Initial Closing Date"); provided, that the Initial Closing will not occur before June 12, 2001, and in the event the Initial Closing occurs after June 12, 2001, Buyer shall pay to Seller at the Initial Closing an amount equal to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) for each business day which has elapsed after June 12, 2001 until (and including) the Initial Closing Date (collectively, the "Extension Fee"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Initial Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern) on June 27, 2001, then Seller shall have the right, at its option, to cause the parties to consummate the Initial Closing, on at least two (2) business days written notice from Seller. At the Initial Closing, Seller shall sell, assign and transfer to Newco (or Buyer in the case of an Initial Closing prior to receipt of the FCC 316 Consent), and Buyer shall cause Newco to purchase from Seller (or Buyer shall purchase from Seller in the case of an Initial Closing prior to receipt of the FCC 316 Consent), (i) the shares of capital stock of the SW Subsidiary, (ii) the
shares of capital stock of the MI Subsidiaries, (iii) the shares of capital stock of the O&O Subsidiaries owning the Stations in Miami, Dallas and Atlanta and (iv) to the extent applicable, the general partnership interests required to be transferred pursuant to Section 1.4(c).
(b) Subsequent Closings. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, the closing of the purchase and sale of the shares of capital stock of any O&O Subsidiary not transferred at the Initial Closing (each a "Subsequent Closing") shall occur at the offices of Buyer's counsel described in Section 1.4(a). A Subsequent Closing with respect to the O&O Subsidiary owning the Stations in New York shall occur on September 28, 2001 and a Subsequent Closing with respect to any remaining O&O Subsidiary owning Stations not previously transferred to Buyer shall occur on January 11, 2002 (the date on which each Subsequent Closing shall occur, a "Subsequent Closing Date"). Within five (5) business days after the applicable HSN Disengagement for the Stations owned by the Subsidiaries transferred at each Subsequent Closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer interest on the payment received at such Subsequent Closing in an amount equal to Buyer's costs of funds (as reasonably documented) from the time such payment is received by Seller through the time of the applicable HSN Disengagement for such Stations; provided, however, in no event shall Seller's payment for Buyer's costs of funds exceed a rate of seven and one-half percent (7.5%) per annum.
(c) Transfer of Partnership Interests. USA Station Group, Inc. ("USASGI"), one of the Subsidiaries, owns a one percent (1%) general partnership interest in each of the eleven (11) licensee general partnerships. Subject to the receipt of any necessary prior approval of the FCC, for each of the O&O Subsidiaries that has a general partnership that holds its FCC License or FCC Licenses, Seller shall cause such O&O Subsidiary to form a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company subsidiary (a "Station GP Interest LLC") prior to the Closing for such O&O Subsidiary, and Seller shall cause USASGI to transfer the 1% general partnership interest in the applicable licensee general partnership to such Station GP Interest LLC prior to such Closing; provided, however, that if such FCC approval has not been received at least one (1) business day prior to the date that such Closing is otherwise scheduled to occur in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then at such Closing, Seller shall cause USASGI to transfer to Buyer the 1% general partnership interest in the licensee general partnership that owns the FCC License or FCC Licenses of the Station or Stations owned by the Subsidiary or Subsidiaries being transferred at such Closing.
(d) Outside Closing Date. If Seller shall not have received, in cash, all amounts that would have been payable to Seller had all of the Closings on all of the Stock occurred on or prior to January 14, 2002 (the "Outside Closing Date") then, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including the fact that one or more AT Notes may have been delivered to Seller pursuant to Section 1.5), Buyer shall pay to Seller on the Outside Closing Date, in cash, all such amounts less the amount of the Purchase Price previously paid in cash to Seller at any prior Closings and less the amount of all principal payments received by Seller under any AT Note (as defined in Section 1.5), except no such amounts shall be payable by Buyer on the Outside Closing Date if (i) Seller shall not have received in cash such amounts on or prior to the Outside Closing Date because of a breach by Seller of this Agreement that has caused the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) not to be satisfied as of the Outside Closing Date (it being understood that such exception shall not be applicable for any conditions precedent with respect to any O&O Subsidiary for which there has been an AT Transfer Closing), or (ii) such breach has been the sole cause of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 not being satisfied as of the Outside Closing Date. Upon the payment, in cash, of all amounts that would have been payable to Seller had all of the Closings on all of the Stock occurred on or prior to the Outside Closing Date, any amounts remaining outstanding under any AT Notes shall be deemed to have been paid in full. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
2
Agreement or otherwise, Buyer's obligation to pay, in cash, all amounts that would have been payable to Seller had all of the Closings on all of the Stock occurred on or prior to the Outside Closing Date pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) and the rights of Seller to receive such payment in cash shall be absolute and unconditional (subject to the qualification in the preceding sentence with respect to a breach by Seller and subject to a delay in such payment as provided for in Sections 4.15 and 7.1) and not be subject to any right of set off, deduction or counterclaim. Payment of the amounts pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) shall be final and non-refundable and Buyer shall not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from Seller for any reason whatsoever. All payments pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller. Subject to compliance with Section 9.5, upon receipt by Seller of all amounts payable to Seller pursuant to this Section 1.4(d), Seller shall, or shall cause, the Stock to be transferred in accordance with Buyer's written instructions; provided, that such transfer is in compliance with all applicable Laws.
(e) Cleveland Subsidiary.
(i) If there has been an AT Transfer Closing with respect to USA Station Group of Ohio, Inc. (the "Cleveland Subsidiary"), upon Buyer's written request dated no earlier than December 5, 2001, Seller will consent to the release of the Stock of the Cleveland Subsidiary from the Pledge Agreement and the SPE's subsequent sale of the Stock of the Cleveland Subsidiary to a third party reasonably acceptable to Seller (a "Cleveland Transferee") on the fifth (5th) business day after such request, subject to prior FCC approval of such sale, so long as on the date of such release, the SPE pays Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller the portion of the Purchase Price for the Cleveland Subsidiary, plus all reimbursement payments expressly provided for herein in Sections 4.7 and 4.19 relating to the Cleveland Subsidiary or the Station owned by the Cleveland Subsidiary, less any principal payments received by Seller under the AT Note relating to the Cleveland Subsidiary. The parties agree that notwithstanding any such payment, HSN Disengagement for the Station owned by the Cleveland Subsidiary shall thereafter occur on January 14, 2001 in accordance with Section 4.9.
(ii) If there has not been an AT Transfer Closing with respect to the Cleveland Subsidiary, upon Buyer's written request dated no earlier than December 5, 2001 and subject to obtaining any necessary prior FCC approval, Seller will transfer the Stock of the Cleveland Subsidiary to Buyer on the fifth (5th) business day after such request so long as, on the date of such transfer, Buyer pays Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller the portion of the Purchase Price for the Cleveland Subsidiary, plus all reimbursement payments expressly provided for herein in Sections 4.7 and 4.19 relating to the Cleveland Subsidiary or the Station owned by the Cleveland Subsidiary, and so long as, on the date of such transfer, Buyer transfers the Stock of the Cleveland Subsidiary to a Cleveland Transferee, subject to prior FCC approval of such transfer, and, on the date of such transfer, HSN and the Cleveland Subsidiary enter into an AT Affiliation Agreement. The parties agree that, notwithstanding consummation of the transactions described in this clause (ii), HSN Disengagement for the Station owned by the Cleveland Subsidiary shall thereafter occur on January 14, 2001 in accordance with Section 4.9."
1.3 A new Section 1.5 of the Agreement is hereby added and states as follows:
"Section 1.5 Alternative Transfer Structure.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 1.4(b) and Section 1.4(c) (and in lieu of consummating the transactions set forth herein in accordance with such sections), Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall have the right to give written notice to Buyer (an "AT Notice"), provided that no such AT Notice shall be given prior to July 16, 2001, to cause the parties to consummate one or
3
more transfers of the Stock of any O&O Subsidiary that is not transferred to Buyer at the Initial Closing pursuant to an alternative transfer structure ("Alternative Transfer") at one or more alternative transfer closings (each an "AT Transfer Closing") as follows:
(i) each AT Notice shall designate which O&O Subsidiary or O&O Subsidiaries shall be the subject of an Alternative Transfer (each an "AT Subsidiary"); the AT Transfer Closing for such O&O Subsidiary or O&O Subsidiaries shall take place on the later to occur of (A) the second (2nd) business day following the consent of the FCC received with respect to the application referred to below in Section 1.5(b), and (B) the second (2nd) business day after the date of the AT Notice.
(ii) all conditions to a Subsequent Closing with respect to such AT Subsidiary shall have been satisfied or waived except for the obligations of Seller (A) to cause the termination of the HSN affiliation agreement and the HSN programming (or any programming substituted therefore in accordance with the HSN affiliation agreement) for the Station owned by such AT Subsidiary by the date set forth in Section 4.9 and (B) set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 4.14 with respect to programming liabilities which shall be satisfied as set forth in Section 1.5(e);
(iii) Buyer shall form a special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote entity reasonably acceptable to Seller (the "SPE") for the sole purpose of acquiring the Stock of all AT Subsidiaries acquired pursuant to Alternative Transfers (so long as the AT Notes are outstanding, in accordance with the Pledge Agreement, the only assets of the SPE shall be the Stock of such AT Subsidiaries and the SPE shall have no liabilities other than the AT Notes);
(iv) at any AT Transfer Closing:
(A) HSN and the applicable AT Subsidiary shall enter into an HSN affiliation agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D with respect to any Station controlled by such AT Subsidiary (each an "AT Affiliation Agreement");
(B) the SPE shall execute and deliver to Seller a promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (an "AT Note") in an aggregate amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price allocable to the Stock of such AT Subsidiary as determined by reference to the value of the Station owned by such AT Subsidiary as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, plus any reimbursement payments expressly provided for herein in Sections 4.7 and 4.19 relating to such Stock or the Stations owned by such AT Subsidiary; and
(C) the SPE shall pledge and grant to Seller a first priority perfected security interest in the Stock of such AT Subsidiary and in any partnership interests owned by such AT Subsidiary or by any subsidiary of an AT Subsidiary to secure payment of the applicable AT Note, by execution and delivery to Seller of a pledge agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the "Pledge Agreement") between the SPE, the AT Subsidiary, the Buyer, any subsidiary of the AT Subsidiary and Seller; and by delivery to Seller of all certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the pledged Stock (together with executed blank Stock powers attached) and other equity interests as required under the Pledge Agreement.
(b) As promptly as practicable and no later than three (3) business days following the date of any AT Notice, the parties shall electronically file with the FCC any short-form applications necessary to consummate any Alternative Transfer described in such AT Notice.
(c) Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) the SPE shall be an Affiliated Assignee for all purposes of this Agreement; (ii) the delivery of any AT Note shall not satisfy, reduce or
4
otherwise affect in any manner the obligation of Buyer to pay in cash the portion of the Purchase Price allocable to the Stock of the AT Subsidiary in connection with which such AT Note was delivered, but rather the Buyer's obligations to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price (including such portion of the Purchase Price) shall remain in full force and effect; (iii) it is the intention of the parties hereto that Buyer's obligation to pay in full the Purchase Price in cash, including each portion of the Purchase Price allocable to the Stock of such AT Subsidiary as determined by reference to the value of the Station owned by such AT Subsidiary as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, shall continue in the same manner and to the same extent as if an AT Transfer Closing had not occurred; (iv) Buyer's obligations under this Agreement are irrevocable and are independent of the obligations of the SPE, and Buyer's obligations under this Agreement shall not be subject to any right of set off, deduction or counterclaim, and shall not be impaired, modified, changed, released, discharged or limited in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release, discharge or limitation of the liability of the SPE or its estate in bankruptcy, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the bankruptcy laws or other similar statute, or from the decision of any court, or as the result of the invalidity of any AT Note or any agreement providing collateral security therefor, or resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any laws or from any other cause or circumstance whatsoever; and (v) to take or cause to be taken any such further actions, and execute, deliver and file such further documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the consummation of any Alternative Transfer.
(d) Following any AT Transfer Closing, the portion of the Purchase Price payable for the Stock of the applicable AT Subsidiary as determined by reference to the value of the Station owned by such AT Subsidiary, plus any reimbursement payments expressly provided for herein in Sections 4.7 and 4.19 relating to such Stock or the Stations owned by such AT Subsidiary, less any principal payments received by Seller under the AT Note relating to such AT Subsidiary, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller, on the business day prior to the date which HSN shall have terminated its affiliation agreement with such AT Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.9 of this Agreement (each termination an "HSN Disengagement"); such payment to be made either by (i) Buyer making such payment itself directly to Seller or (ii) Buyer causing the SPE to pay in full all amounts outstanding under the AT Note relating to such AT Subsidiary. Upon the cash payment of the portion of the Purchase Price for the Stock of the applicable AT Subsidiary by Buyer, any amounts remaining outstanding under the AT Note relating to such AT Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been paid in full. Within five (5) business days after the applicable HSN Disengagement for the Stations owned by the AT Subsidiaries transferred at each AT Transfer, Seller shall pay to Buyer interest on the payment received by Seller pursuant to this Section 1.5(d) in an amount equal to Buyer's cost of funds (as reasonably documented) from the time such payment is received by Seller through the time of the applicable HSN Disengagement for such Stations; provided, however, in no event shall Seller's payment for Buyer's costs of funds exceed a rate of seven and one-half percent (7.5%) per annum.
(e) In the event of an Alternative Transfer, the parties acknowledge and agree that no programming assets or liabilities with respect to the Station or Stations owned by such AT Subsidiary shall be assets or liabilities of such AT Subsidiary until HSN Disengagement and any programming assets or liabilities with respect to the Station or Stations owned by such AT Subsidiary shall be distributed, assigned or transferred to Seller prior to any AT Transfer. During the period following any AT Transfer and prior to HSN Disengagement, Seller shall (i) retain all such programming assets, (ii) remain responsible and liable for all such programming liabilities with respect to such AT Subsidiary, (iii) continue to make all monetary payments with respect to such programming liabilities in a manner consistent with Seller's past practices, (iv) if a programmer declares in writing a default with respect to any programming liabilities, cure such
5
default prior to HSN Disengagement, and (v) indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any Losses incurred by Buyer resulting from the breach by Seller of any obligations with respect to such programming assets or programming liabilities. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that Seller's obligations set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 4.14 with respect to programming liabilities of such AT Subsidiary shall not be satisfied as of the AT Transfer Date but shall instead be satisfied as of the date of the HSN Disengagement. Contemporaneous with HSN Disengagement, to the extent that Seller or any Affiliate of Seller holds or is responsible for any programming assets or liabilities with respect to the Stations owned by the applicable AT Subsidiary which are set forth on Schedule 2.4, Seller or Seller's Affiliates shall transfer such programming assets and liabilities to such AT Subsidiary, and such AT Subsidiary shall accept and assume such assets, rights, liabilities or obligations.
(f) It is expressly understood and agreed by Buyer that Seller may exercise its rights under any AT Affiliation Agreement, AT Note or Pledge Agreement without exercising its rights or affecting its rights under this Agreement, and it is further understood and agreed by Buyer that upon a default under an AT Note, Seller may proceed against all or any portion or portions of any collateral pledged pursuant to any Pledge Agreement or otherwise in such order and at such time as Seller, in its sole discretion, sees fit; and Buyer hereby expressly waives any rights under the doctrine of marshalling of assets."

At such Closing Date, neither Buyer nor any of the Subsidiaries that have been transferred to Buyer on or prior to such Closing Date shall have any continuing commitment, obligation or liability of any kind with respect to such Intercompany Liability, except for any Intercompany Liability relating to any AT Affiliation Agreements.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, [SPE], a Delaware corporation whose principal office is located at 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (the "Maker"), promises to pay to the order of USA Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Holder"), at 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or at such other place as the Holder of this Note may from time to time designate, on [September 28, 2001 / January 11, 2002] (the "Maturity Date"), the principal amount of DOLLARS ($ ), without interest. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, without offset. The unpaid principal amount of this Note may not be prepaid.
This Note evidences the obligation of the Maker to pay the Holder as described in Section 1.5(a)(iv)(B) of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 17, 2001, between Univision Communications Inc. ("Univision") and the Holder as amended by the First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 9, 2001 and by the Second Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 7, 2001 (collectively, the "Purchase Agreement"). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of a Pledge Agreement (the "Pledge Agreement") of even date herewith by and among the Maker, Univision, Univision Station Group of , Inc., Univision Station Group Partnership of , [Station GP Interest LLC] and the Holder, the Maker's obligations under this Note are secured by a first priority perfected security interest granted to the Holder in and to certain Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement). None of the references to the Purchase Agreement or the Pledge Agreement nor any provision thereof (other than the second sentence of Section 1.4(d) and the penultimate sentence of Section 1.5(d) of the Purchase Agreement) shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Maker to pay the principal amount hereof when due.
The occurrence of any "Event of Default" under the Pledge Agreement shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") hereunder. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default hereunder, the entire principal amount hereof shall be accelerated, and shall be immediately due and payable, at the option of the Holder, without demand or notice, and in addition thereto, and not in substitution therefor, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies provided for in the Pledge Agreement and/or by applicable law. Failure to exercise said option or to pursue such other remedies shall not constitute a waiver of such option or such other remedies or of the right to exercise any of the same in the event of any subsequent Event of Default hereunder.
In the event that the principal amount hereof or any other sum due hereunder is not paid when due and payable, the whole of the unpaid principal amount evidenced hereby shall, from the date when such payment was due and payable until the date of payment in full thereof, bear interest at the rate of thirteen percent (13%) per annum, which rate, if applicable, shall commence, without notice, immediately upon the date when said payment was due and payable.
The Maker promises to pay all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the collection hereof or in the protection or realization of any collateral now or hereafter given as security for the repayment hereof (including without limitation the security provided under the Pledge Agreement).
Any payment on this Note coming due on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a day which is a legal holiday in the place at which a payment is to be made hereunder shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a business day in such place, and any such extension of the time of payment shall be included in the computation of interest hereunder.
The Maker hereby waives presentment, protest, demand, notice of dishonor, and all other notices, and all defenses and pleas on the grounds of any extension or extensions of the time of payments or
the due dates of this Note, in whole or in part, before or after maturity, with or without notice. No renewal or extension of this Note, no release or surrender of any collateral given as security for this Note, no release of the Maker, and no delay in enforcement of this Note or in exercising any right or power hereunder, shall affect the liability of the Maker. The pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand against the Maker is expressly waived.
No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder, or under any other agreement given as security for this Note or pertaining hereto, shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Note are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
In case any provision in or obligation under this Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
This Note and all agreements between the Maker and the Holder relating hereto are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of money hereunder exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Holder shall ever receive interest, or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law, which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of this Note and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of this Note, such excess shall be promptly refunded to the Maker. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness of the Maker to the Holder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other provision of this Note and all other agreements between the Maker and the Holder.
Whenever used herein, the words "Maker" and "Holder" shall be deemed to include their respective successors and assigns.
THIS NOTE, THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE MAKER HEREUNDER, AND ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

SECTION 3. DELIVERY OF PLEDGED COLLATERAL.
Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Pledgor is delivering all certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Shares to be held by or on behalf of Secured Party pursuant hereto, in suitable form for transfer by delivery or, as applicable, accompanied by Pledgor's endorsement, where necessary, or duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, together with any other documents necessary to cause Secured Party to have a good, valid and perfected first pledge of, lien on and security interest in the Pledged Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the LLC are delivering duly executed financing statements for the Pledged Partnership Interest, which when filed in the proper jurisdiction, shall cause Secured Party to have a good, valid and perfected pledge of, lien on and security interest in the Pledged Partnership Interest, free and clear of all Encumbrances. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the right, without notice to Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Shares or Pledged Partnership Interest. In addition, Secured Party shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Shares for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. Secured Party hereby confirms receipt of certificates representing the
4
Pledged Shares and agrees to hold the Pledged Shares and Pledged Partnership Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 4. VOTING RIGHTS.
4.1 So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor, the Company and the LLC shall be entitled to exercise, any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
4.2 Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, upon written notice from Secured Party to Pledgor, all rights of Pledgor, the Company and the LLC to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which they would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 4.1 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.
4.3 In order to permit Secured Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 4.2:
(a) Pledgor, the Company or the LLC shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Secured Party all such proxies, and other instruments as Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request; and
(b) without limiting the effect of Section 4.3(a), (i) Pledgor hereby grants to Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to the extent permitted by law to vote the Pledged Shares and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Shares would be entitled (including, without limitation, giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, calling special meetings of shareholders and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Shares on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Shares or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations and (ii) the Company and the LLC, as applicable, hereby grant to Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to the extent permitted by law to vote the Pledged Partnership Interest and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Partnership Interest would be entitled (including, without limitation, giving or withholding written consents of partners, calling special meetings of partners and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action by any other Person, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.
SECTION 5. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.
5.1 If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction (the "UCC") (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Pledged Collateral),
(b) Secured Party may apply any cash held by the Secured Party hereunder in the manner provided in Section 12, and
(c) Secured Party may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker's board or at any of Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or
5
for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Pledged Collateral.
5.2 Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Pledged Collateral at any sale pursuant to Section 5.1(c) and thereafter may hold the same, absolutely, free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. Secured Party shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Pledged Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least five days' notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
5.3 Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, Pledgor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Secured Party shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.
5.4 If Secured Party determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral, upon written request, Pledgor shall, and shall cause the Company and the LLC to, furnish to Secured Party all such information as Secured Party may request in order to determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Pledged Collateral which may be sold by Secured Party in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. Pledgor also hereby acknowledges that any private sale of the Pledged Collateral may be subject to compliance with federal and state securities laws.
6
5.5 Secured Party, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose its lien or security interest arising from this Agreement and sell the Pledged Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. On any sale of the Pledged Collateral, Secured Party is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale that it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the purchaser or purchasers by any governmental regulatory authority or officer of court.
5.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Secured Party, agrees that to the extent prior FCC approval is required pursuant to the Communications Act (or the prior approval of any Governmental Entity is required under applicable law) for (a) the operation and effectiveness of any grant, right or remedy, or the loss of any voting or consent right, hereunder, or (b) taking any action that may be taken by Secured Party hereunder, such grant, right, remedy, loss of right, or action will be subject to such prior FCC approval or, to the extent applicable, Governmental Entity approval having been obtained by or in favor of Secured Party (and Pledgor and Univision will use, and will cause Pledgor, the Company, the Partnership or the LLC, to use, as applicable, their respective best efforts to obtain any such approval as promptly as possible). Pledgor and Univision each agrees that, upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at Secured Party's request, Pledgor and Univision will, and will cause Pledgor, the Company, the Partnership or the LLC, as applicable, to, immediately file, or cause to be filed, such applications for approval and shall take all other and further actions required by the Secured Party to obtain such governmental authorizations as are necessary to transfer ownership and control to Secured Party, or its successors or assigns, of the Pledged Collateral. To enforce the provisions of this Section 5.6, Secured Party is empowered to request the appointment of a receiver from any court of competent jurisdiction. Such receiver shall be instructed to seek from the FCC and, to the extent applicable, any Governmental Entity, an involuntary transfer of control of any of the Company's or the Partnership's FCC Licenses for the purpose of seeking a bona fide purchaser to whom control will ultimately be transferred. Pledgor and Univision each hereby agrees to authorize, and to cause Pledgor, the Company, the Partnership and the LLC, as applicable, to authorize, such an involuntary transfer of control upon the request of the receiver so appointed and, if Pledgor or Univision shall refuse to authorize or cause Pledgor, the Company, the Partnership and the LLC, as the case may be, so to authorize the transfer, its approval may be required by the court. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Pledgor and Univision each shall further use their respective best efforts, and shall cause Pledgor, the Company, the Partnership and the LLC, as applicable, to use their respective best efforts, to assist in obtaining approval of the FCC, if required, or, to the extent applicable, any Governmental Entity, if required, for any action or transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, preparation, execution and filing with the FCC and, to the extent applicable, any Governmental Entity of the assignor's or transferor's portion of any application or applications for consent to the assignment of any of the Company's or the Partnership's FCC Licenses or transfer of control necessary or appropriate under the FCC's Rules or the rules and regulations of any applicable Governmental Entity for approval of the transfer or assignment of any portion of the Pledged Collateral, together with any of the Company's or the Partnership's FCC Licenses or other authorization. Pledgor and Univision each acknowledges that the assignment or transfer of any interest in the Company's and the Partnership's FCC Licenses acquired hereunder is integral to the Secured Party's realization of the value of the Pledged Collateral, that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by Pledgor or Univision to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.6 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agree that the agreements contained in this Section 5.6 may be specifically enforced.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Related Documents, Secured Party shall not, without first obtaining the approval of the FCC and, to the extent applicable, any Governmental Entity, take any action pursuant to this Agreement which would constitute or result
7
in any acquisition or transfer of ownership of the Pledgor or Univision or their respective assets, assignment of any of the Company's or the Partnership's FCC Licenses or any change of control of Pledgor or Univision or any other Person if such assignment, acquisition, transfer or change in control would require, under then existing law (including FCC Rules), the prior approval of the FCC or any Governmental Entity.
Secured Party acknowledges that after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all requisite consents of the FCC and any applicable Governmental Entity must be obtained prior to the exercise by Secured Party and/or a purchaser, at a public or private sale, or any rights as an equity holder in the Pledged Collateral.
5.7 It is expressly understood and agreed by Pledgor that Secured Party may exercise its rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement or any Related Document providing security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise without exercising its rights or affecting the security provided hereunder, and it is further understood and agreed by Pledgor that Secured Party may proceed against all or any portion or portions of the Pledged Collateral and all other collateral securing the Secured Obligations in such order and at such time as Secured Party, in its sole discretion, sees fit; and Pledgor each hereby expressly waives any rights under the doctrine of marshalling of assets.
5.8 Compliance with the procedures in this Section 5 shall result in a sale or disposition of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 5.1(c) being considered or deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
