Completion of the disposal is conditional upon (i) the release by the Lenders and the Subordinated Lender of the currently existing guarantee issued by Xxxxxxxxxx in favour of the Lenders and the Subordinated Lender securing PRISA’s obligations under the Facilities Agreements and the PRISA Subordinated Agreement (the “Xxxxxxxxxx Guarantee”) as well as the partial release by the Lenders, the Hedge Counterparties and the Subordinated Lender of the currently existing pledge over 99.99% of the shares owned by PRISA in the stock capital of Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Xxxxxxxxxx Pledge”); and (ii) the approval by the Senior Lenders, the Bridge Lenders, and the Subordinated Lender of the conditions required by DLJSAP Publishing Coöperatief U.A. on the document annexed to the Share Purchase Agreement dated 15 December 2009 and that is hereby attached as Annex VI to this Agreement. | ||

The transactions described under (i), (ii) and (iii) above will be hereinafter referred to as the “Digital + Disposal”. | ||
The total purchase price expected to be received by Sogecable is € 970 Million (of which €738 Million would be in cash and €232 Million would offset against the Telefónica Subordinated Debt). | ||
3. | EQUITY RAISING. | |

(i) to the Senior Lenders, through the Senior Agent, a Restructuring Fee of 0.75% over the outstanding amount of the Senior Facility Agreement, to be distributed among the Senior Lenders according to their participation in the Senior Facility Agreement; and | ||
(ii) to the Bridge Lenders, through the Bridge Agent, a Restructuring Fee of 0.50% over the outstanding amount of the Bridge Facility Agreement, to be distributed among the Bridge Lenders according to their participation in the Bridge Facility Agreement. | ||
The Restructuring Fee will be paid within one (1) Business Day from the date on which Condition 5 of Schedule 2 has been met and PRISA effectively receives the funds arising out of the Equity Raising. | ||
5. | AMENDMENT OF THE BRIDGE FACILITY AGREEMENT | |
PRISA and the Bridge Lenders agree to modify the Bridge Facility Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bridge Facility Amendment Agreement (the “Bridge Facility Amendment Agreement”), which is to be signed by PRISA and the Bridge Lenders on even date. | ||
The Bridge Facility Maturity Date set out in the Amendment Agreement is extended in two steps and subject to the following conditions: | ||
5.1 | Interim Bridge Facility Maturity Date Extension | |
PRISA and the Bridge Lenders agree to extend the Bridge Facility Maturity Date until 30 July 2010 (the “Interim Bridge Facility Maturity Date Extension”), such extension coming into effect upon the Bridge Agent confirming to the Lenders that it has received from PRISA, on or before 19 April 2010, each of the documents listed in |
- 29 -
Schedule 1, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent (the “Interim Conditions Precedent”). | ||
In the event any of the Interim Conditions Precedent have not been met by 19 April 2010, it will be understood that the Bridge Facility Amendment Agreement has not become effective and that Bridge Facility Maturity Date remains unaltered and therefore the Bridge Facility Maturity Date is 19 April 2010. | ||
5.2 | Final Bridge Facility Maturity Date Extension | |
PRISA and the Bridge Lenders agree that, once the Interim Bridge Facility Maturity Date Extension has become effective and, if the conditions precedent listed in Schedule 2 (the “Final Conditions Precedent”) have been met on or prior to 30 July 2010 (and to this effect the Bridge Agent will have to confirm to the Lenders that it has received from PRISA, on or before 30 July 2010, each of the documents listed in Schedule 2 in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Bridge Agent) the Bridge Facility Agreement shall be further amended on the term and conditions set out in the Schedule 2 part B of the Bridge Facility Amendment Agreement, such further amendment including an extension of the Bridge Facility Maturity Date until 19 May 2013 (the “Final Bridge Facility Maturity Date Extension”). | ||
6. | AMENDMENT OF THE SENIOR FACILITY AGREEMENT | |
PRISA and the Senior Lenders agree to amend the Senior Facility Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Senior Facility Amendment Agreement (the “Senior Facility Amendment Agreement”), which is to be signed by PRISA and the Senior Lenders on even date. | ||
Such amendment will become effective once the Final Conditions Precedent have been met on or prior to 30 July 2010 (and to this effect the Senior Agent will have to confirm to the Lenders that it has received from PRISA, on or before 30 July 2010, each of the documents listed in Schedule 2 in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent). |
6 BIS. AMENDMENT OF THE PRISA SUBORDINATED AGREEMENT
HSBC agrees there will be no improvement in the terms and conditions of the PRISA Subordinated Agreement, as long as PRISA’s existing bridge and syndicated loans under the Senior Facility Agreement and the Bridge Facility Agreement have not been repaid, refinanced, restructured or amended to improve its terms and conditions. |
- 30 -
7. | EXTENSION OF THE BILATERAL FACILITIES MATURITY DATES | |
7.1. | PRISA, Xxxxxxxxxx and the Bilateral Lenders, with the consent of the Senior Lenders, Bridge Lenders, Hedge Counterparties and the Subordinated Lender hereby agree to extend the maturity dates of the Bilateral Facilities Agreements subject to the same conditions applicable to the extension of the maturity date of the Bridge Facilities Agreement set out under Clause 5.1. and 5.2., that is to say, (i) until 30 July 2010, such extension being only conditional upon the conditions set out in Schedule 1 (the “Interim Bilateral Facilities Maturity Date Extension”) and, (ii) afterwards, until 19 May 2013, such extension being only conditional upon the conditions set out in Schedule 2 (the “Final Bilateral Facilities Maturity Date Extension”). | |
For the purpose of this Clause 7.1, by executing this Agreement Xxxxxxxxxx is obliged to (and/or to make any of its subsidiaries to) carry out any actions and to grant any documents that may be necessary or appropriate to extend: |
7.1.1 | the ten promissory notes mentioned in Annex III B) 1) of this Agreement according to the laws of the State of New York; | ||
7.1.2 | the credit facility agreement whose current maximum amount is ten million US dollars (USD10,000,000) dated 17 July 2008, entered into with Santander and mentioned in Annex III B) 2) of this Agreement according to its applicable law, |
as soon as practicable. | ||
7.2. | PRISA and Xxxxxxxxxx hereby represent and warrant that as of the date of this Agreement they have not entered into any further bilateral facilities agreement other than those listed under Annex III. | |
7.3 | Subject to the condition that the Final Bilateral Facilities Maturity Date Extension has become effective, the Bilateral Lenders will share the same guarantees and security than the Senior Lenders and the Bridge Lenders (the “Security”) and, for this purposes, they will enter on even date into the Guarantee and Security Agreement with PRISA and certain of its subsidiaries. | |
For the avoidance of doubt, the term Security includes both the currently existing guarantees and security in favour of the Senior Lenders and the Bridge Lenders and the New Security, as this term is defined in Clause 8 of this Agreement. |
- 31 -
7.4. | It is expressly agreed that all the Bilateral Lenders (i) not being a Senior Lender or a Bridge Lender and (ii) that will share the Security on the terms and conditions set out in Section 7.3. above, will be deemed to have given its consent to the release of the appropriate guarantees and/ or security under the Security to the extent that all the Senior Lenders and the Bridge Lenders have agreed to do so following a request of PRISA and /or any of its subsidiaries to sale an asset which is secured under the Security. | |
7.5. | It is also expressly agreed, in accordance with the provisions of the Guarantee and Security Agreement, that any Bilateral Lender sharing the Security on the terms and conditions set out in Sections 7.3. or 7.4. above will not be entitled to declare, separately to the Senior Lenders and the Bridge Lenders (that is to say, to the extent that the Senior Lenders and the Bridge Lenders have not previously declared the early termination of the Senior Facility Agreement and the Bridge Facility Agreement), an early termination of its respective Bilateral Facility Agreement vis-à-vis PRISA as a consequence of an event of default under such Bilateral Facility Agreement, but will be only entitled to claim against PRISA separately to the Senior Lenders and the Bridge Lenders any amount due and unpaid by PRISA under the Bilateral Facility Agreement. | |
7.6 | Notwithstanding what it has been agreed in Sections 7.1 to 7.4, Caixa Galicia hereby agrees to extend the Bilateral Facility Agreement mentioned in Annex III, (A)(6) for a maximum amount of four million euros (€4,000,000) (the “Caixa Galicia’s Bilateral”) in the terms set out in Section 7.3 only until 30 July 2010, and reserves the right to a further extension until 19 May 2013 also in the terms and conditions set out in Section 7.3. | |
If Caixa Galicia opts for the extension until 19 May 2013 they will send a notice to Prisa and the Agent and within 5 Business Days from the reception of such notice Prisa and Caixa Galicia will document such further extension on a public deed and once the extension until 19 May 2013 has been made, Prisa will grant the Security to Caixa Galicia under the same terms and conditions as those governing the Security for the rest of the Lenders and Hedge Counterparties in a pari passu basis with them. | ||
For the avoidance of doubt Caixa Galicia’s Bilateral will not share the Security until the moment on which it is extended until 19 May 2013 and then Section 7.5 will also apply to Caixa Galicia. | ||
8. | OBLIGATION OF PRISA TO GRANT NEW SECURITY |
- 32 -
8.1 | PRISA undertakes to grant in favour of the Lenders, the Hedge Counterparties and the Subordinated Lender (in this case on a subordinated basis), to the extent legally possible, on terms substantially similar to those set out in Clause 5 of the Guarantee and Security Agreement, and as security of the Lenders, the Hedge Counterparties and the Subordinated Lender: |
(i) | a pari passu first ranking pledge over the shares owned by PRISA (or any other company of PRISA’s Group) in Unión Radio (the “Unión Radio New Security”). |
8.2 | Sogecable undertakes to grant in favour of the Lenders, the Hedge Counterparties and the Subordinated Lender (in this case on a subordinated basis), to the extent legally possible, on terms substantially similar to those set out in Clause 5 of the Guarantee and Security Agreement, and as security of the Lenders, the Hedge Counterparties and the Subordinated Lender: |
(i) | a pari passu first ranking pledge over the shares that it will own in Telecinco once the Telecinco Capital Increase (as this term is defined in Clause 8.3) has been completed (the “Telecinco New Security”); and | ||
(ii) | a pari passu first ranking pledge over the shares owned by Sogecable in DTS and representing 56% of the issued share capital of DTS, once the disposals described under Clause 2.3 above have been completed (the “Digital + New Security”). |
The Digital + New Security, the Unión Radio New Security and the Telecinco New Security will be hereinafter referred to as the “New Security”. | ||
8.3 | (a) PRISA will grant the Unión Radio New Security immediately after the execution of this Agreement, as contemplated in Clause 6 of the Guarantee and Security Agreement (as this term is defined in Clause 9). | |
(b) | Sogecable will grant the Digital + New Security within one month from the date on which the application of proceeds set out in Clause 4.3.1. has been carried out and the Sogecable Facility Agreement has been fully repaid. | |
(c) | Sogecable will grant the Telecinco New Security within one month from the date on which the Telecinco Capital Increase has been registered in the Mercantile Registry. If on such date, the Sogecable Facility Agreement has not been yet fully |
- 33 -
repaid, Sogecable will have to grant the Telecinco New Security within one month from the date on which the Sogecable Facility Agreement has been fully repaid. For the purpose of this Clause, “Telecinco Capital Increase” means the increase of capital of Telecinco to be subscribed by Sogecable by means of the contribution in kind by Sogecable of Sogecuatro. | ||
8.4 | The Parties hereby expressly agree that in the event any financial institution enters into any interest rate hedging agreement with PRISA, in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Facility Agreement, these financial institutions will share the Security with the Senior Lenders, the Bridge Lenders and, if applicable, the Bilateral Lenders and, for such purposes, they will enter into the relevant guarantee and security agreements with PRISA and its relevant subsidiaries in terms and conditions similar to those set out under the Guarantee and Security Agreement. | |
8.5 | For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly agreed that the obligations assumed by PRISA, Vertix and Sogecable under Clauses 2.1, 4 and 8 under this Agreement have been a fundamental element for the Lenders to agree the terms of the Debt Restructuring set out under this Agreement; therefore, the breach by each of PRISA, Vertix and Sogecable of any of its obligations under this Agreement will be considered as a “condición resolutoria expresa” and will entitle the Senior Agent and the Bridge Agent, following the decision of the majority of the Lenders under the Senior Facilities Agreement, the Bridge Facilities Agreement and the Bilateral Facilities Agreements, to terminate this Agreement. For these purposes, it will be understood that the term “majority” means sixty six and two thirds per cent (66 2/3% ) of the outstanding amounts under the Senior Facilities Agreement, the Bridge Facilities Agreement and the Bilateral Facilities Agreements. Furthermore, such breach will be considered as an event of default under the Senior Facility Agreement, the Bridge Facility Agreement and each of the Bilateral Facilities Agreements, as amended. | |
9. | Ratification of guarantees and security | |
As far as the Senior Facility Agreement, the Bridge Facility Agreement and the Bilateral Facilities Agreements under Section 7.1 are amended as a consequence of PRISA entering into this Agreement, it is expressly agreed that the guarantees and security listed in Annex V, and to the extent they have not been released according to this Agreement, remain as guarantee and security of the Senior Facility Agreement, the Bridge Facility Agreement and the Bilateral Facilities Agreements as amended, |
- 34 -
and for these purposes the Parties will execute on even date an agreement for, among other purposes, the ratification of such guarantees and security in the terms set out under said agreement (the “Guarantee and Security Agreement”). |
10. | GENERAL | |
10.1 | Assignments and transfers | |
PRISA may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement. | ||
If any Lender transfers or assigns its participation under the Facilities, it shall be understood that it transfer or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to such assignee or transferee, and in particular, it shall be understood that the assignee or transferee has consented in the terms provided for in Clause 4 in the same terms that the assignor. | ||
