Section 2.3 Obligations in connection with the HYB Offering or any Alternative Financing.
(a) Best Efforts Obligation to Consummate the HYB Offering. ITI shall agree to use its best efforts to cause TVN to close the HYB Offering (provided it raises proceeds of at least U.S. $200,000,000) as soon as practicably possible following the date hereof; provided that ITI shall not be under any obligation to cause TVN to close the HYB Offering and to close the Transactions if one or more events occur following the date of this Agreement that, individually or in the aggregate, are so material and adverse that ITI concludes, based on the advice of X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Ltd. (“X.X. Xxxxxx”) and after consultation with SBS and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Ltd. (“Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx”), that it is impracticable or inadvisable for ITI to proceed with the HYB Offering.

SBS agrees that the consent of the members of the TVN Supervisory Board appointed by SBS and the consent of SBS as a shareholder of TVN to the approval of the HYB Offering as described in the preliminary offering memorandum to be used in connection with the HYB Offering (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”) immediately prior to the date of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that (i) the proposed HYB Offering shall be substantially on the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit 12 hereto, (ii) the shareholders of TVN shall have received from X.X. Xxxxxx a letter addressed to them substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 14 hereto and (iii) each of the conditions
3
precedent specifically identified in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 as to be satisfied or waived prior to or at the date on which the TVN Supervisory Board approves the HYB Offering (the “Approval Date”), shall be satisfied or waived prior to such date.
(c) Participation in HYB Offering Preparation.

(d) Alternative Financing. In the event that, notwithstanding ITI’s best efforts in accordance with Section 2.3(a) hereunder, the HYB Offering can not be completed, ITI agrees, in the event that such Alternative Financing involves TVN or a Subsidiary of TVN, to (i) consult with SBS regarding such Alternative Financing, and (ii) to provide SBS in advance of use with a copy of all materials to be provided to rating agencies, investment banks or prospective investors in connection with such Alternative Financing. For the avoidance of doubt any pledge or sale of TVN shares to a bank or other financial institution for purposes of an arm’s length financing or refinancing by ITI shall not constitute an Alternative Financing for the purposes of triggering the provisions of this Section 2.3(d).
(e) Obligation to Escrow Certain HYB Offering Proceeds. If despite the best efforts of both parties it is not practicable to effect the Transactions on the HYB Closing Date, the Parties shall enter into an escrow agreement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to each of SBS and ITI (the “HYB Escrow Agreement”), with X.X. Xxxxxx as escrow agent pursuant to which: (i) prior to the HYB Closing Date, ITI shall open a new account with the escrow agent or one of its affiliates (such account, the “ITI Bank Account”) and shall cause TVN or the relevant TVN subsidiary to deliver irrevocable instructions to the lead underwriters of the HYB Offering to pay by wire transfer of immediately available
4
funds to the ITI Bank Account on behalf of ITI an amount in Euros equal to the ITI Consideration from the net proceeds raised in the HYB Offering (and the first use of any proceeds of the HYB Offering shall be for such purpose) (the “Escrowed HYB Proceeds”), (ii) prior to the HYB Closing Date, ITI shall deliver irrevocable instructions to the escrow agent to transfer, or cause to be transferred, immediately following the HYB Closing Date, the Escrowed HYB Proceeds, together with any interest earned thereon (such proceeds and such interest, the “Escrowed Property”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds or book entry to an interest-bearing escrow account maintained by the escrow agent (the “Escrow Bank Account”) for the benefit of SBS and (iii) on the Closing Date ITI and SBS shall instruct the escrow agent to deliver the Escrowed Property to SBS Nederland provided that if the Closing has not occurred prior to the date of termination of this Agreement, then (A) ITI shall cause the On-Funding Arrangements to be unwound to the extent they relate to the Escrowed Property and the Escrowed Property to be delivered to TVN, (B) ITI, SBS and TVN shall engage in discussions to arrive at a mutually agreeable decision as to the application of the Escrowed HYB Proceeds, having due regard for the fact that the HYB Offering was marketed on the basis that it was to be used to fund the Acquisition and (C) ITI agrees to cause TVN not to use the Escrowed Property until such mutually agreeable decision has been reached.
Section 2.4 SBS Participation in Subsequent Transfer of TVN.
(a) In the event that following the Closing, ITI or any of its Subsidiaries effects a Transfer (as defined below) within 12 months of the Closing Date, then ITI shall pay to SBS following such Transfer an amount equal to the Premium (if any) (as defined below) associated with such Transfer, as set out in Sections 2.4(e) through (i) below, provided that the Premium shall be payable by ITI in the same form (e.g. cash, securities or other assets) as the Transfer Consideration (as defined below) is received by ITI, and in the same proportions (e.g. if the Transfer Consideration received by ITI is 70% cash and 30% shares, the Premium shall be payable 70% in cash and 30% in such shares).

(ii) in the case of a Transfer of a business or other assets, the amount equal to (x) total consideration paid for such business or other assets which are part of the TVN Base Business, plus (y) the amount of any indebtedness assumed by the acquiring Person or any of its Affiliates in relation only to elements of the Base Business transferred;
provided that, in each case set forth in clauses (c)(i) and (ii) above, ITI shall be required to pay any Premium to SBS only upon the date of receipt of the Transfer Consideration by ITI or any of its Subsidiaries (and if the Transfer Consideration is received by ITI in installments, the Premium shall be paid to SBS pro-rata as those installments are received by ITI).
(d) “Transfer” for the purposes of this Section 2.4 means any transfer, sale, assignment or other disposal (including, without limitation, a transfer by operation of law such as through a merger or consolidation involving TVN or any of its Subsidiaries, or a grant or issuance of an option, warrant, convertible security or similar instrument or right or interest to receive a share of the profits of TVN or any of its Subsidiaries), or series of transfers, sales, assignments or disposals of either (i) to a single purchaser, its Affiliates or Persons acting in concert with such purchaser and its Affiliates, shares in TVN or in direct, or indirect shareholders of TVN representing more than 25% but not more than 50% of the then outstanding TVN equity interest (or real, personal or intellectual property or contractual rights of TVN or its Subsidiaries representing more than 25% but not more than 50% of the TVN Base Business), without any transfer of management control in TVN (such management control being the right to appoint a majority of the members of the TVN Management Board) to a third party purchaser or (ii) shares in TVN or in direct or indirect shareholders of TVN representing more than 50% of the then outstanding TVN equity interest or real, personal or intellectual property or contractual rights of TVN or its Subsidiaries representing more than 50% of the TVN Base Business (or the sale of
6
a lesser interest in TVN, where, in connection with such sale through contractual provisions or otherwise, the transferee acquires the right to appoint a majority of the members of the TVN Management Board) to a third party purchaser, in each case set forth in clauses (d)(i) and (ii) above, if the ultimate parent company or controlling shareholders of such third party purchaser have their principal headquarters of activities based outside the jurisdiction of Poland; provided that for all purposes of this Section 2.4(d) none of (w) assignment by way of security or grant or issue of an option, warrant instrument, convertible security or similar instrument or right or interest to receive a share of the profits of TVN or any of its Subsidiaries to a bank or other financial institution for purposes of an arm’s length financing or re-financing, (x) internal transfer or reorganization within the ITI Group, (y) initial public offering of some or all of the shares of TVN or any member of the group of companies to which TVN belongs shall, in themselves, constitute a Transfer. During the 12 months following the Closing Date, upon the transfer of any real, personal or intellectual property or contractual rights worth in excess of Euro 10 million on a cumulative basis which are part of the TVN Base Business, if ITI believes that such transfer is not a Transfer for the purpose of this Section 2.4 (d), it shall so notify SBS indicating what real, personal or intellectual property or contractual rights have been transferred. If SBS, by notice given to ITI within 20 days of receipt of the first notice named above, disagrees with ITI’s conclusion and believes that such transfer is a Transfer, then an independent expert shall be appointed following the procedures set out in Section 2.4 (h) below and such independent expert shall provide a determination. The fees and disbursements of the independent expert shall be paid by ITI if the independent expert determines that the transfer is a Transfer, and by SBS otherwise.
(e) ITI shall, within five (5) days of the occurrence of a Transfer, inform SBS of the identity of the purchaser, the Transfer Consideration and ITI’s calculation of the Premium, if any, payable, prepared in good faith by ITI (the “TVN Valuation Statement”). In the event that SBS agrees with the amount of the Premium as set out in the TVN Valuation Statement, ITI shall pay the cash element of the Premium to SBS within five (5) days of being notified in writing of such agreement and any non-cash element as soon as possible thereafter. The foregoing notwithstanding, ITI shall only be obligated to pay SBS a Premium at such time as and to the extent that it receives from the purchaser of the TVN shares so Transferred the consideration for such purchase.
(f) SBS shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the TVN Valuation Statement to complete its review of the calculation of the Premium. In the event that SBS disputes the amount of the Premium then SBS shall so inform ITI in writing on or before the last day of such thirty-day period (such notice being an “SBS Objection”), setting forth the basis on which SBS so objects. ITI shall cooperate in responding to questions and requests for information submitted by SBS pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) in connection with any TVN Valuation Statement and shall, with reasonable prior notice, provide SBS with access to all books and records used in calculation of the Premium. If no SBS Objection is received within such 30 day period, SBS shall be deemed to have accepted calculation of the Premium as set out in the TVN Valuation Statement.
7
(g) In the event SBS delivers a SBS Objection to ITI, ITI shall have ten (10) Business Days to review and respond to the SBS Objection and SBS and ITI shall thereafter meet to attempt to agree the amount of the Premium (if any) within ten (10) Business Days following the completion of ITI’s review of the SBS Objection.
(h) If SBS and ITI are unable to agree the Premium within such ten-day period, they shall refer the matter to a mutually agreed third party (whether a firm of accountants, investment bank or other person having recognized expertise and capabilities in the valuation of business organizations), and in the absence of such agreement either party may refer the matter to the Xxxx of the London Business School to nominate an appropriate third party (whether a firm of accountants, investment bank or other person having recognized expertise and capabilities in the valuation of business organizations) (the “Independent Expert”). The Independent Expert shall, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, determine in accordance with this Section 2.4 and the definitions set forth herein the amount (if any) payable as a Premium. The Independent Expert shall be instructed to deliver its written determination (a “Final Determination”) to ITI and SBS no later than twenty (20) days after the date of referral of the remaining differences to the Independent Expert. A draft of the Final Determination shall be provided to each of SBS and ITI for comment no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date it is to be delivered. The Final Determination shall include a certification that it reached such determination in accordance with this Section 2.4 and the amount of Premium determined shall be final and binding upon ITI and SBS; provided that, to the extent that any amount of Premium in the Final Determination is (x) greater than the greatest amount initially claimed by either SBS or ITI under this Section 2.4 the final amount shall be equal to the greater of the two amounts initially claimed by SBS and ITI or (y) lower than the lowest amount initially claimed by either SBS or ITI under this Section 2.4, the final amount shall be equal to the lower of the two amounts initially claimed by SBS and ITI. The foregoing notwithstanding and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event can the amount of the Premium as finally determined through the Independent Expert be in excess of U.S. $25,000,000. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Expert shall be equally allocated between ITI and SBS, unless the calculation of the Premium pursuant to the Final Determination is (i) at least U.S. $1,000,000 greater than the calculation of the Premium pursuant to the TVN Valuation Statement, in which case, ITI shall pay such fees and disbursements, or (ii) at least U.S. $1,000,000 less than the calculation of the Premium pursuant to the TVN Valuation Statement, in which case, SBS shall pay such fees and disbursements. ITI and SBS shall make readily available to the Independent Expert all relevant books and records within their respective control (including without limitation as they relate to any of their respective Subsidiaries or TVN) relating to calculation of the amount of Premium and all other items reasonably requested by the Independent Expert related to the foregoing items.
(i) Except as expressly provided in Section 2.4(h) above, each Party shall pay all costs and expenses (including any costs or expenses of legal or accounting advisors) it incurs pursuant to this Section 2.4.
8
Section 2.5 Termination of the Call Option Agreement. Each Party hereby agrees that effective the day hereof, the Call Option Agreement is hereby terminated and shall be of no further force or effect, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Call Option Agreement, any liabilities or obligations outstanding prior to the date hereof under or arising out of the Call Option Agreement shall be deemed to be fully extinguished and any amounts owing from one Party to any other Party on or prior to the date hereof under or arising out of the Call Option Agreement shall be deemed to have been fully satisfied. Each Party to the Call Option Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any and all rights of such Party under or arising out of the Call Option Agreement.
Section 2.6 Guarantee of Performance by Respective Subsidiaries. Each of ITI and SBS agrees to cause its respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Termination Agreement, to perform all of their respective obligations under this Agreement and the Termination Agreement, and guarantees to the other Party the performance by such entities of all such obligations.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 3.1 Representations and Warranties of SBS. SBS hereby makes the following representations and warranties to ITI as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that any representations and warranties made as of a specific date shall only be made as of such date:
(a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of the SBS Parties (including, without limitation, SBS Nederland and Strateurop) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (if applicable) under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority when taken together with all other such failures, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of any of the SBS Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Termination Agreement.
(b) Strateurop and the SBS TVN Shares. Strateurop is a wholly-owned direct Subsidiary of SBS Nederland. SBS Nederland is a wholly-owned direct Subsidiary of SBS. As of the date of this Agreement, Strateurop is the legal and beneficial owner of the SBS TVN Shares, each of which is owned by Strateurop free and clear of any lien, pledge, security interest, claim or other encumbrance (other than any such encumbrance arising as a result of events or circumstances occurring prior to the acquisition by SBS of
9
the Strateurop Shares and the indirect acquisition of the SBS TVN Shares pursuant to the Prior Transaction). Since the date of the acquisition of the Strateurop Shares by SBS, the only activity or business conducted by Strateurop has been (i) to hold the SBS TVN Shares and (ii) to perform its obligations under the Investment Agreement and the Relationship Agreement and to exercise its rights thereunder. The authorized share capital of Strateurop consists of 90,760 shares, of which 18,152 Strateurop Shares have been issued and are outstanding. All of the outstanding Strateurop Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Investment Agreement, the Relationship Agreement and the Call Option Agreement, there are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements, calls, commitments or rights of any kind that obligate SBS or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, deliver or sell any Strateurop Shares or SBS TVN Shares or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to subscribe for, demand delivery of or acquire, any Strateurop Shares or SBS TVN Shares, and no securities or obligations evidencing such rights are authorized, issued or outstanding. Strateurop does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with its shareholders on any matter. SBS Nederland is the legal and beneficial owner of all outstanding Strateurop Shares, free and clear of any lien, pledge, security interest, claims or other encumbrance. SBS Nederland is not a party to any other agreement, and no such option, right or agreement exists, except as provided in the Call Option Agreement, that requires, or that may require upon the passage of time, the payment of money or the occurrence of any other event, SBS Nederland to transfer any of the Strateurop Shares, or Strateurop to transfer any of the SBS TVN Shares held by it, to anyone other than the ITI Parties. Except as provided in the Call Option Agreement, Strateurop has no liabilities or obligations of any kind except (x) for those obligations set forth herein or in the Termination Agreement and (y) for taxes or liabilities arising in respect of taxes of Strateurop, which taxes and liabilities are allocated between the Parties in accordance with Section 4.7 of this Agreement. The balance sheet of Strateurop as of June 30, 2003 provided by SBS to ITI and attached as Exhibit 13 hereto fairly presents the financial position of Strateurop as of June 30, 2003 in accordance with IAS.

(a) No Indemnitor (as defined below) shall have liability under Section 6.2(a)(i) or (b)(i), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of Damages theretofore incurred by the Indemnitee (as defined below), as the case may be, exceeds U.S.$500,000 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Indemnitees shall be entitled to Damages in an aggregate amount up to the ITI Consideration; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall be liable only for the amount by which all Damages exceed the Deductible.

Solely for purposes of calculating the amount of Damages incurred arising out of or relating to any breach or representation or warranty (and not for purposes of determining whether or not a breach has occurred), the references to “Material Adverse Effect” or other materiality qualifications (or correlative terms), including as expressed in accounting concepts, shall be disregarded.
Section 6.4 Indemnification Procedures.
(a) In the event that any Person shall incur or suffer any Damages in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder, such Person (the “Indemnitee”) may assert a claim for indemnification by written notice (the “Notice”) to the party from whom indemnification is being sought (the “Indemnitor”), stating the amount of Damages, if known, and the nature and basis of such claim. In the case of Damages arising or which may arise by reason of any third-party claim, promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of written notice of the assertion or the commencement of any action with respect to any matter in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (but in no event more than 20 days after receipt of such notice), the Indemnitee shall give
24
Notice to the Indemnitor and shall thereafter keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed with respect thereto, provided that failure of the Indemnitee to give the Indemnitor prompt notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, by written notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnitee within 20 days after receipt of the Notice. If the Indemnitor shall assume the defense of such action, it shall not settle such action without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that an Indemnitee shall not be required to consent to any settlement that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of an unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability with respect to such action or (ii) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any material obligations on such Indemnitee other than financial obligations for which such Indemnitee shall be indemnified hereunder. As long as the Indemnitor is contesting any such action in good faith and on a timely basis, the Indemnitee shall not pay or settle any claims brought under such action. Notwithstanding the assumption by the Indemnitor of the defense of any action as provided in this Section 6.4, the Indemnitee shall be permitted to participate in the defense of such action and to employ counsel at its own expense; provided, however, that if the defendants in any action shall include both an Indemnitor and any Indemnitee and such Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that counsel selected by Indemnitor has a potential conflict of interest because of the availability of different or additional defenses to such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall have the right to select one separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on its behalf, at the expense of the Indemnitor.
(b) If the Indemnitor shall fail to notify the Indemnitee of its desire to assume the defense of any such action within the prescribed period of time, or shall notify the Indemnitee that it shall not assume the defense of any such action, then the Indemnitee may assume the defense of any such action, in which event it may do so acting in good faith in such manner as it may deem appropriate, and the Indemnitee shall be bound by any determination made in such action; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not be permitted to settle such action without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnitor shall be permitted to join in the defense of such action and to employ counsel at its own expenses.
(c) Amounts payable by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee in respect of any Damages for which such party is entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be payable by the Indemnitor as incurred by the Indemnitee.
(d) In the event of any dispute between the Parties regarding the applicability of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all Damages incurred by such party arising out of, resulting from or relating to such dispute.
25
Section 6.5 Non-Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification remedies provided in this Article VI shall not be deemed to be exclusive. Accordingly, the exercise by any Person of any of its rights under this Article VI shall not be deemed to be an election of remedies and shall not be deemed to prejudice, or to constitute or operate as a waiver of, any other right or remedy that such Person may be entitled to exercise (whether under this Agreement, under any other Contract, under any Law or otherwise); provided, however, that no Party shall seek other remedies in those situations where they have received full indemnification payments with respect to such situations.
Section 6.6 Certain Limitations. The indemnification obligations of the Parties hereto for any breach of a representation and warranty described in Article III of this Agreement shall survive for only the period applicable to such representations and warranties as set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement, and thereafter all such representations and warranties of the Parties hereto under this Agreement shall be extinguished; provided, however, that such indemnification obligation shall not be extinguished in the event of Damages incurred as a result of an investigation, review, suit, claim or action that was instituted or begun prior to the expiration of the survival period set forth in Section 6.1 if notice was sent to the Indemnitor in the time and in the manner required by Section 6.4. Subject to the proviso at the end of the immediately preceding sentence, no claim for the recovery of such Damages may be asserted by an Indemnitee after such period; provided, however, that claims first asserted in writing and noticed with particularity as required by Section 6.4 within such period shall not thereafter be barred.

(k) Provisions restricting free transferability
As SBS is holder of all issued shares held by others than the Company in the capital of the Company, the right of first refusal as referred to in the articles of association does not apply.

(i) The Company is a company duly organised and validly existing under the laws of Luxembourg;
We have enquired on [] 2003 at [], with the Greffe de la 2e section du Tribunal d’Arrondissement de et à Luxembourg as to whether bankruptcy proceedings against the Company have been filed with the court in Luxembourg. The person to whom we spoke orally confirmed that to her knowledge no such procedure had been filed to the [], 2003 or was currently pending before the court. It should be noted that we can however not opine thereon and as to whether a writ has been served on the Company but had not yet been enrolled with the Luxembourg court.
(ii) The Company has the power to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is stated to be a party and to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under such Transaction Documents, and has taken all necessary action to authorise the entry into such Transaction Documents and the exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations under such Transaction Documents;
(iii) No authorisation, approval, consent, order, registration (other than as set out in opinion (viii)) or filing with any authority, agency or court of Luxembourg is necessary in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity and enforceability of each of the Transaction Documents in accordance with their respective terms needs to be obtained;
(iv) It is not necessary under the laws of Luxembourg in order to enable the Other Parties to enforce their rights under the Transaction Documents by reason of the execution of the Transaction Documents or by performance by the Other Parties of their obligations thereunder that the Other Parties be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in Luxembourg;
29
(v) We hereby confirm that the execution of the Transaction Documents on behalf of the Company by Xx Xxxxx Valsanciacomo and Xx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx constitutes and operates as due execution thereof by the Company and each of the obligations expressed therein to be assumed by the Company constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation on it enforceable under the laws of Luxembourg in accordance with their terms, it being understood that the Luxembourg courts may consider that contractual rights and obligations must under all circumstances be exercised and respectively performed, in good faith;
(vi) Each Transaction Document to which the Company is a party is in proper form for its enforcement in the courts of Luxembourg;
(vii) The execution and delivery of, the performance by the Company of its obligations under, and compliance with the provisions of, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party will not conflict, violate or result in a breach of (i) any applicable Luxembourg law, statute or regulation or (ii) any provisions of constitutional documents, or (iii) government or court order applicable to the Company made known to us by the Company [after enquiry with Xxxxxx Fanconi, corporate secretary of the Company];
(viii) It is not necessary to ensure that for each Transaction Document to which the Company is a party to constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Company that the Transaction Documents are registered, recorded, notarised or filed at any Luxembourg public office or elsewhere in Luxembourg provided however that in the case of an action in front of a Luxembourg court or use thereof before a Luxembourg agency, the registration of the relevant Transaction Documents might be ordered in which case ad valorem taxes with various rates may apply on obligations recorded therein;
(ix) Except as set out in opinion (viii) above, no stamp, registration, issue or similar duties or taxes or governmental fees and charges are payable in Luxembourg in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of any of the Transaction Documents;

30
provisions of the applicable foreign law may conflict with Luxembourg public policy;
(xii) Luxembourg has ratified the European Convention on international commercial arbitration of 21st April 1961 and the Arrangement relating to the application of the European Convention on international commercial arbitration of 17th December 1962. In addition Luxembourg has ratified the New York Convention on enforcement of foreign arbitral awards of 10th June, 1958 with the following reservation: The convention shall apply on the basis of reciprocity of the recognition and enforcement of the sole arbitral awards rendered on the territory of another contracting state;
Consequently any award rendered on the territory of another contracting state against the Company with respect to the Transaction Documents may be enforced in Luxembourg subject to the conditions imposed by such conventions and arrangement and pursuant to the rules provided for in the Luxembourg Nouveau Code de Procédure Civile; and
(xiii) None of the Other Parties (other than SBS) is or will be deemed to be resident, domiciled carrying on business or subject to taxation, reporting, filing or registration requirements in Luxembourg by reason only of the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance, enforcement of and/or receipt of any payment under any Transaction Documents.
5. The opinions expressed above are subject to the following reservations:

(ii) the enforcement of the Transaction Documents and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto will be subject to the general statutory principles of Luxembourg law and no opinion is given herein as to the availability of any specific performance remedy, other than monetary damages for the enforcement of any obligation of the parties and this opinion should not be taken to imply that a Luxembourg court will necessarily grant any remedy other than monetary damages; in particular, orders for specific performance and injunctions might not be available;
31
(iii) the obligation of the parties to indemnify the other party(ies) in relation to fines or penalties imposed on such parties may be considered invalid and unenforceable in Luxembourg because of the personal character of the fines or penalties;

(vii) provisions in any Transaction Document providing that the terms thereof can only be amended or varied or provisions thereof can only be waived by an instrument in writing may not be effective;
(viii) the question whether or not any provisions of the Transaction Documents which may be invalid on account of illegality may be severed from the other provisions thereof in order to save those other provisions would be determined by the Luxembourg courts in their discretion;
(ix) any obligation to pay a sum of money expressed in a currency which is not of legal tender in Luxembourg (a “foreign currency”) will be enforceable in a currency which is of legal tender therein, though the monetary judgement may be expressed in a foreign currency and/or its equivalent in a currency of legal tender at the time of payment and any loss incurred as a result of currency exchange fluctuations can be recovered under Luxembourg law subject to decision of the court;
(x) any obligation to pay interest on interest may not be enforceable under Luxembourg law;
(xi) any certificate or determination which would by contract be deemed to be conclusive may not be upheld in a Luxembourg Court and where any party to any Transaction Document is vested with a discretion or may determine a matter in its opinion,
32

(xii) a court of Luxembourg may refuse to give effect to a purported contractual obligation to pay costs imposed upon another party in respect of the costs of any unsuccessful litigation brought against that party before a court of Luxembourg and a court of Luxembourg may not award by way of costs all of the expenditure incurred by a successful litigant in proceedings brought before a court of Luxembourg;
(xiii) claims may become barred under statutory limitations period rules;

Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are lawyers admitted to practice under the laws of Luxembourg.
This opinion is given to you in connection with a share purchase agreement dated 12 September 2003 between SBS Broadcasting S.A. (the “Company”) and International Trading and Investments Holdings S.A. Luxembourg (the “Purchaser”) relating to the sale and purchase of all the shares of the company Strateurop International B.V. (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) and with a termination agreement between the Purchaser, ITI Media Group N.V., TVN SP Zo.o., 3W Capital Investments S.A., JHH Exploitatie Maatschappil B.V., FFMP Finance B.V., Strateurop International B.V., ITI TV Holdings Limited, Bank Przemyslowo-Handlowy PKB S.A., Kredyt Bank S.A. and the Company (the “Termination Agreement”) (the Share Purchase Agreement and the Termination Agreement being together referred to as the “Transaction Agreements”).
For the purpose of this opinion, we have examined:
i) A facsimile executed copy of the Share Purchase Agreement dated 12 September 2003 between SBS Broadcasting S.A. and International Trading and Investments Holdings S.A. Luxembourg;
ii) A facsimile copy of the Termination Agreement between International Trading and Investments Holdings S.A. Luxembourg, ITI Media Group N.V., TVN SP Zo.o., 3W

Capital Investments S.A., JHH Exploitatie Maatschappij B.V., FFMP Finance B.V., Strateurop International B.V., ITI TV Holdings Limited, Bank Przemyslowo-Handlowy PKB S.A., Kredyt Bank S.A. and SBS Broadcasting S.A., executed on 7 November 2003 by SBS Broadcasting S.A. and Strateurop International B.V.;
iii) a copy of the consolidated version of the articles of incorporation of the Company as of 23 September 2003 (the “Articles of Incorporation”);
iv) an executed copy of the resolution of the board of directors of the Company passed on 10 September 2003 authorising the entering into the Transaction Agreements (the “Board Minutes”);
v) a non-bankruptcy certificate, dated 31 October 2003, issued by the Greffe de la deuxième section du Tribunal d’Arrondissement de et à Luxembourg;
All documents referred to above under (i) to (v) are referred to as the “Documents”.
“Parties” shall mean all parties to any one of the Documents and “Other Parties” means all parties to any one of the Documents other than the Company.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Transaction Agreements.
We have assumed:
i) that the Termination Agreement, examined by us, will be signed by all the Other Parties;
ii) the genuineness of all signatures on all documents as well as the completeness and conformity to original documents of all copies and/or other specimen documents submitted to us;
iii) that all consents, approvals, authorisations, or orders required from any governmental or other regulatory authorities of any country other than Luxembourg and all other requirements of any country other than Luxembourg for the legality, validity and enforceability of the Transaction Agreements have been duly obtained or fulfilled and are and will remain in full force and effect and that any conditions, other than those provided by Luxembourg law or the Articles of Incorporation, to which the Transaction Agreements are subject have been satisfied;
iv) that the Transaction Agreements constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto for all purposes of the laws of the state of New York to which they are expressly made subject.
Subject as mentioned herein, we are of the following opinion:
44
1. The Company is a company duly incorporated under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg by a notarial deed dated 24 October 1989 and registered as a Luxembourg société anonyme for an unlimited duration at the Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés de Luxembourg under number B 31996 and is validly existing. On 31 October 2003, we inquired with the Greffe de la 2ème section du Tribunal d’Arrondissement de et à Luxembourg as to whether bankruptcy proceedings against the Company have been filed with the court. On 31 October 2003, the Greffe de la 2ème section du Tribunal d’Arrondissement de et à Luxembourg issued a non-bankruptcy certificate confirming that no notice of appointment of a receiver (curateur) has been filed or is currently pending before the court;
2. The Company has the necessary corporate power under its Articles of Incorporation to execute the Transaction Agreements and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements;
3. The Company has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the entry into and the performance of the Transaction Agreements;
4. We hereby confirm that the execution of the Transaction Agreements on behalf of the Company by Xxxx Xxx, Senior Vice President and general counsel of the Company constitutes and operates as due execution thereof by the Company and each of the obligations expressed therein to be assumed by the Company constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreements, it being understood that the Luxembourg courts may consider that contractual rights and obligations must under all circumstances be exercised and respectively performed in good faith;
5. The Transaction Agreements when duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company, are in proper form for their enforcement in the courts of Luxembourg;
6. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements by the Company and the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Transaction Agreements will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of (i) any Luxembourg law, rule or regulation applicable to it or (ii) any provision of its Articles of Incorporation, or (iii) government or court order applicable to the Company made known to us by the Company after enquiry with Xx. Xxxx X. Xxx;
7. No consent, approval, authorization or order is required by the Company from any governmental authority in Luxembourg under the laws of Luxembourg in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity and enforceability of each of the Transaction Agreements;
8. It is not necessary under the laws of Luxembourg in order to enable the Other Parties to enforce their rights under the Transaction Agreements by reason of the execution of the Transaction Agreements or by performance by the Other Parties of their obligations thereunder that the Other Parties be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in Luxembourg;
45
9. It is not necessary or desirable, in order to ensure the legality, validity and enforceability of the obligations of the Company under the Transaction Agreements, that the same be filed, registered, recorded or enrolled with any authority, agency or court of Luxembourg or that any official action be taken in Luxembourg, or that any instrument relating thereto be signed, delivered, filed, registered, recorded or notarised in any public office or elsewhere in Luxembourg provided however that in the case of an action in front of Luxembourg court or use thereof before a Luxembourg agency, the registration of the relevant Transaction Agreements might be ordered in which case ad valorem taxes with various rates may apply on obligations recorded therein ;
10. No stamp, registration, issue or similar duties or taxes or governmental fees and charges are payable in Luxembourg in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of any of the Transaction Agreements except as set out in opinion (8) above;
11. Neither the Company nor any of its assets is entitled in Luxembourg to immunity on grants of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action or proceeding (including without limitation, suit, attachment prior to judgment , execution or other enforcement);
12. The choice of the laws of the state of New York to govern the Transaction Agreements is valid and binding under Luxembourg law;
13. The submission by the Company to arbitration under section 8.9 of the Share Purchase Agreement and under section 5.1 of the Termination Agreement will be valid, binding and irrevocable according to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 (the “New York Convention”).
Consequently, any award rendered on the territory of another contracting state against the Company with respect to the Transaction Agreements may be enforced in Luxembourg subject to the conditions imposed by the New York Convention and pursuant to the rules provided for in the Luxembourg Nouveau Code de Procédure Civile.
14. None of the Other Parties other than the Purchaser is or will be deemed to be resident , domiciled carrying on business or subject to taxation, reporting, filing or registration requirements in Luxembourg by reason only of the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance, enforcement of and/or receipt of any payment under any Transaction Agreement.
This opinion is subject to the following reservations:
(i) if the Transaction Agreements were produced in proceedings before a Luxembourg court, such court may require that all or part of the Transaction Agreements, or any of the documents or agreements referred to therein, be translated into French or German and registration of any such documents exhibited in any court proceedings or before any official authority (autorité constituée) in Luxembourg might be ordered, the registration tax being a fixed rate of 12,- EUR or an ad valorem rate depending on the nature of the registered document;
46
(ii) the enforcement of the Transaction Agreements and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto will be subject to the general statutory principles of Luxembourg law and no opinion is given herein as to the availability of any specific performance remedy, other than monetary damages for the enforcement of any obligation of the Company and this opinion should not be taken to imply that a Luxembourg court will necessarily grant any remedy other than monetary damages; in particular, orders for specific performance and injunctions might not be available;
(iii) where any obligations are to be performed or observed or are based upon a matter arising in a jurisdiction outside Luxembourg they may not be enforceable under Luxembourg law if and to the extent that such performance or observance would be unlawful, unenforceable, or contrary to public policy under the laws of such jurisdiction;
(iv) whilst, in the event of any proceedings being brought in a Luxembourg court in respect of a monetary obligation expressed to be payable in a currency other than Euro, a Luxembourg court would have power to give judgment expressed as an order to pay in a currency other than Euro; however, enforcement of the judgment against the Company in Luxembourg would be available only in Euro and for such purposes all claims or debts are converted into Euro normally at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of payment and any loss incurred as a result of currency exchange fluctuations can be recovered under Luxembourg law, subject to decision of the court;
(v) any enforcement against the Company would be subject to insolvency laws affecting creditors generally;
(vi) any determination or certificates made or given pursuant to the provisions of the Transaction Agreements which provides for such determination or certificate to be final, conclusive and/or binding might not necessarily be held under Luxembourg law to be final, conclusive and/or binding;
(vii) a contractual provision conferring or imposing a remedy, default interest, a step fee, a break-up fee, an obligation or penalty consequent upon default may not be fully enforceable and may be reduced or increased by a Luxembourg court, if such pecuniary remedy were construed by the court as constituting an excessive (or unreasonably low) pecuniary remedy;
(viii) any provision in the Transaction Agreements stating that any rights and obligations shall bind successors and assigns of any party thereto may not be enforceable in Luxembourg in the absence of any further agreements to that effect with such successors and assigns in case such successors and assigns are Luxembourg individuals/entities;
(ix) a severability clause may be ineffective if a Luxembourg courts considers that the illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause was a substantive or material clause;
(x) as regards jurisdiction, a Luxembourg court may stay or dismiss proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere;
47
(xi) a foreign jurisdiction clause does not prevent the parties from initiating legal action before Luxembourg courts to the extent that summary proceedings (référé) seeking conservatory or urgent provisional measures are concerned. Notwithstanding a foreign jurisdiction clause, Luxembourg courts would have in principle jurisdiction for any conservatory or provisional action in connection with assets located in Luxembourg and such action would most likely be governed by Luxembourg law;
(xii) actions in Luxembourg must be brought exclusively in the name of the principal, not of the agent of the principal;
(xiii) provisions providing for the limitation of liability in the case of gross negligence and willful misconduct may not be enforceable under Luxembourg law;
(xiv) no opinion is given as to the taxation consequences of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Agreements (or any document in connection therewith) except as set out in opinion (8).
In this opinion Luxembourg legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original French terms used in Luxembourg laws. The concepts concerned may not be identical to the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist under the laws of other jurisdictions. This opinion may, therefore, only be relied upon under the express condition that any issues of interpretation arising thereunder be governed by Luxembourg law and be brought before a court in Luxembourg.
This opinion is addressed to the addressees solely for their benefit and on whose behalf they are acting and solely for the purpose of the Transaction Agreements. It is not to be transmitted to any other person nor is it to be relied upon by any other person (other than their legal adviser(s)) verified or for any other purpose quoted or referred to in any public document or filed with any governmental agency or other person without our consent. This opinion is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and does not extend to, and is not to be read as extending by implication to, any agreement or document referred to in the Transaction Agreements or otherwise.
This opinion is limited to Luxembourg law of general application at the date of this opinion as currently applied by the Luxembourg courts, and is given on the basis that it will be governed by and construed in accordance with Luxembourg law. We have made no investigation of, and do not express or imply any views on, the laws of any country other than Luxembourg. Luxembourg courts have exclusive jurisdiction with respect to this opinion.

Share Purchase Agreement
[Form of Opinion of Xxxx X. Xxx]
[•], 2003
International Trading and Investments Holdings S.A.
000 Xxxxx x’Xxxx
0000 Xxxxxxxxxx
Dear Sirs:
In connection with the purchase by International Trading and Investments Holdings S.A., a company organized under the laws of Luxembourg (“ITI”), pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2003 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), by and between ITI and SBS Broadcasting S.A., a company organized under the laws of Luxembourg (“SBS”), of all the outstanding shares of Strateurop International B.V., a company organized under the laws of The Netherlands, and the other transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement to occur on the Closing Date (capitalized terms used but not defined herein having the same meanings assigned to them in the Share Purchase Agreement), in my capacity as General Counsel of SBS, I have examined such corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law, as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion. Upon the basis of such examination, it is my opinion that the Share Purchase Agreement and the Termination Agreement constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the SBS Parties party thereto enforceable against the SBS Parties party thereto in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, to general equity principles and to federal and state securities laws and public policy considerations limiting rights to indemnity and contribution.
As contemplated by the qualifications set forth in preceding paragraph, in rendering the foregoing opinion, I am expressing no opinion as to Federal or state laws relating to fraudulent transfers.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York, and I am expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. With respect to all matters of Luxembourg law, I have, with your approval, relied on the opinion, dated the date hereof, of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, delivered to you pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Share Purchase Agreement, and my opinion is subject to the same
49
assumptions, qualifications and limitations with respect to such matters as are contained in such opinion.
With your approval, I have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials and other sources believed by me to be responsible, and I have assumed that the Share Purchase Agreement and the Termination Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each party thereto and that the signatures on all documents examined by me are genuine, assumptions I have not independently verified.
This opinion is furnished to you in my capacity as General Counsel of SBS and is solely for your benefit and may not be disclosed to, or relied upon, any third party without my prior written consent.
Very truly yours,

Exhibit 12 to the
Share Purchase Agreement
TVN
SUMMARY OF TERMS
1. Issuer: A special purpose entity (which will be a finance subsidiary of TVN) created for the express purpose of the financing. The high yield bonds issued by the special purpose entity, including in particular the obligation of the special purpose entity to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the high yield bonds, will be guaranteed by TVN and its so called “restricted subsidiaries”.
2. Type of Instrument: High yield bonds issued on a senior subordinated unsecured basis where the noteholders will be (i) subordinate in right of payment in an amount of up to USD 75,000,000 under credit facilities granted now or in the future to TVN and (ii) pari passu in right of payment with other senior third party obligations of TVN that may be issued in the future.
3. Term: Ten years with a “bullet” maturity of principal of the high yield bonds.
4. Interest: Fixed rate payable in arrears on semi-annual interest payment dates..
5. Redemption/Put Provisions:
a. Optional Redemption: Five year call protection, with right of redemption at a declining premium in the following years.
b. Equity Claw-Back Redemption: In the event that TVN conducts a successful public offering of its equity securities, TVN will be permitted to redeem a stipulated principal amount of the high yield bonds.
c. Optional Redemption in the Event of Tax Law Changes
d. Change of Control: Upon the occurrence of a “change of control” of TVN, owners of the high yield bonds will have the right to put their bonds to the issuer/TVN for purchase.
6. Security: The high yield bonds will be unsecured as will other indebtedness that may be issued in the future (subject to customary limited exceptions as provided in the bond indenture). As noted in point 2 above, TVN and the “restricted subsidiaries” will guarantee the debt service and other payment obligations for the high yield bonds. Senior bank credit facilities described in clause (i) of point 2 above may be secured by a mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien or charge of any kind on all or any of TVN’s and the “restricted subsidiaries’” real, personal and intangible property.
7. Additional Indebtedness: The bond indenture will allow the issuer to incur additional indebtedness (including but not limited to additional high yield bonds) provided that the leverage ratio for TVN (and its “restricted subsidiaries”) is less than 5.00 to 1.00.
64
8. Bond Indenture and Covenants: The bond indenture will contain a set of covenants and other provisions standard for a financing of that nature which require TVN (including for this purpose the “restricted subsidiaries” of TVN) to meet certain tests if TVN or a “restricted subsidiary” of TVN wishes to issue or guaranty additional new indebtedness (leverage ratio incurrence test based on ratio of indebtedness of TVN and the “restricted subsidiaries” to rolling four quarters EBITDA of TVN and its “restricted subsidiaries” – see point 8 above), dispose of existing assets (including stock of “restricted subsidiaries”), acquire new assets, bring new “restricted subsidiaries” into the bond indenture, prepay shareholder loans or other subordinated indebtedness, declare and pay a dividend, distribution or other so called “restricted payment”, enter into sale/leaseback transactions or enter into a merger or consolidation transaction. Tests are incurrence and not maintenance tests. The bond indenture will also set forth rules to ensure that transactions between TVN and its “restricted subsidiaries”, on the one hand, and affiliates, on the other hand, are on an arm’s-length basis. As part of the bond indenture, TVN will be required to provide the bond trustee and the owners of the high yield bonds with quarterly and annual financial statements and other reports as customary for this type of financing. After discussion with the underwriters and consistent with current practice for non US issuers of high yield debt, it was agreed that no registration rights were to be granted in connection with the high yield bond offering.
9. Purpose of Issue: Provide funds for (i) the purchase of SBS’s 30.4% ownership stake in TVN for the Euro equivalent of USD 145,000,000 (as determined on closing of the Share Purchase Agreement), (ii) the repayment of the existing bank credit facilities currently outstanding in the amount of approximately USD 50,000,000 provided to TVN by the bank syndicate headed by BPH-PBK Bank (the “Bank”) (in the event that the Bank does not consent to the issue of the high yield bonds and TVN chooses to prepay its facilities), (iii) the purchase of TVN 24 by TVN and other assets (in the event that the Bank grants its consent to the high yield bonds and the credit facilities remain in place) and (iv) the funding of all issuance and related transaction costs.
10. Underwriters: JPMorgan Securities Limited (book runner and lead manager)
Bear Xxxxxxx International Limited (joint lead manager)
Xxxxxxxx & Company Inc. (joint lead manager)
11. Underwriting Fees: Three percent (3%) of the Issue Amount with the underwriting fees capped at USD 6,000,000. Excluded from the Issue Amount for purposes of calculating underwriting fees will be any bonds purchased by investors by and as a consequence of the efforts of ITI. .
12. Method of Offering: The underwriters will market the high yield bonds to large institutional investors in Europe and North America pursuant to US SEC Rule 144A and Regulation S, as is typical for this type of debt security.

[Form of Letter of X.X. Xxxxxx]
• [September] 2003
The Shareholders
TVN Sp. z o.o.,
0 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
00-000
Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have advised X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Ltd. (“JPM”) that International Trading and Investments Holdings S.A. Luxembourg (“ITI”) is considering acquiring SBS Broadcasting SA’s (“SBS”) 30.43% stake in TVN Sp. z o.o.(“the Company”) (the “Acquisition”). We understand that the total funding needs of ITI in connection with the Acquisition will be the Euro equivalent of US$145,000,000. We further understand that in order to finance the Acquisition, fund miscellaneous working capital needs and to pay related fees and expenses, TVN is considering causing the issue of up to €[•] million of senior or senior subordinated notes in the high yield market (“the Notes”) (the issue of the Notes together with the Acquisition being “the Transaction”). Following the Transaction, the only debt in the Company will be the Notes (as described above) and a maximum of $[•] million of funded debt under a bank credit facility.
We are pleased to inform you that, based upon our knowledge of the Company, our review of the information provided to JPM to date, and our close relationship with both the Company and the ITI Group, we are highly confident in our ability to sell or place the Notes as described above, subject to the matters set forth in the following paragraph.
Our view expressed above is based on the outline of the Transaction as currently contemplated, our understanding of the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company after giving effect to the Transaction. Our view is also subject to, among other things: (i) agreement on the terms and conditions of the sale of the Notes and all existing debt of the Company, if any, and all related documentation being reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to JPM; (ii) the execution and delivery of documentation with respect to the Transaction and all related transactions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to JPM; (iii) the absence of any material adverse change in the business (financial or otherwise), results of operations, assets, liabilities or prospects of the Company, as determined by JPM in its sole discretion; (iv) the receipt of all necessary governmental, regulatory and third party approvals and consents in connection with the Transaction; (v) the execution and delivery of documentation with respect to the Notes and the offering and sale thereof (including, but not limited to, the underwriting agreement, purchase agreement or placement agreement) that is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to JPM; (vi) our continuing due diligence investigation not disclosing any facts that would materially alter our current view with respect to the Company. and (viii) there having
67
not occurred any disruption or adverse change, as determined by JPM in its sole discretion, in the market for new issuance of high yield debt securities or in the securities market in general.
It should be understood that this letter shall not constitute or give rise to any obligation on the part of JPM to arrange, underwrite or provide or commit to arrange, underwrite or provide any financing for the Transaction, to purchase any Notes or to provide any advisory or placement services; any such obligations would arise only under separate written agreements acceptable to JPM in its sole discretion.
This letter is being delivered to you for your information and is solely for your use. This letter is not to be distributed or disclosed to, or otherwise relied upon by, any other person without JPM’s prior written consent, except as required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may show this letter to your representatives provided that they agree to keep this letter confidential.
