Audiovisual Content that is originally produced in a language other than Spanish and such
closed captions are added (i) by a third party distributor that primarily Broadcasts or distributes
Audiovisual Content in a language other than Spanish and was not involved in the production of such
Audiovisual Content; and (ii) by means of a generally available closed captioning or similar system
applicable to Audiovisual Content Broadcast on the platform in question, then such Audiovisual
Content shall not be deemed to be subtitled in Spanish solely by reason of such closed captions (or
similar text feature). By way of example, if DirecTV makes a Spanish language closed captioning
feature available with respect to channels and platforms on its service, such Spanish language
closed captioning services shall not, in and of itself, cause programming produced in a language
other than Spanish and Broadcast on DirecTV to be deemed “subtitled in Spanish” for purposes of
this Agreement.
(e) Non-Licensed Content. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement relates solely
to the Broadcast and exploitation of the Licensed Rights in and to the Licensed Content in the
Territory and during the Term, and is not intended to, and shall not, limit or impair any of
Licensee’s or its Affiliates’ rights with respect to any other Audiovisual Content, audio-only
content or other content.
(f) Rights Restrictions. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that there may exist Rights
Restrictions with respect to items of Licensed Content. Grupo Televisa, and other persons to whom
Licensee sublicenses or otherwise transfers rights to the Licensed Content shall, in connection
with the exercise of the Licensed Rights, comply with any Rights Restrictions with respect to each
item of Licensed Content, in each case, as notified by Licensor to Licensee in an Availability
Notice in accordance with Section 7.2(a).
1.2 Certain Specific Rights Included in Licensed Rights. Without limiting the
generality of Section 1.1(a):
(a) Affiliates.
(i) Grupo Televisa. The Licensed Rights include the right to permit Grupo Televisa to
exercise the Licensed Rights (and all other rights and entitlements hereunder attendant and
appurtenant thereto) to the same extent, and subject to the same terms, conditions, exceptions,
exclusions and obligations as Licensee (and such permitted use shall not be deemed a sublicense for
purposes of this Agreement); provided, that if a person ceases to be a controlled Affiliate
of GT during the Term, the right of such person to exercise the Licensed Rights under this
Section 1.2(a)(i) shall automatically cease and such person shall thereafter be deemed a
sublicensee, subject to Section 4.
(ii) Network Affiliates. The Licensed Rights include the right to permit Network Affiliates
to exercise the Licensed Rights (and all other rights and entitlements hereunder attendant and
appurtenant thereto) as part of the Broadcast by means of Free Television, pursuant to and in
accordance with Network Affiliation Agreements entered into by and among Grupo Televisa, and the
Network Affiliates (and such permitted use shall not be deemed a sublicense for purposes of this
Agreement); provided, that if a person ceases to be a Network Affiliate of Licensee during
the Term, the right of such person to exercise the Licensed
Rights under this Section 1.2(a)(ii) shall automatically cease and such person shall
thereafter be deemed a sublicensee, subject to Section 4 (including Licensor’s approval
rights set forth thereunder, if applicable).
5
(b) Closed-Captioning; SAP. The Licensed Rights include, to the full extent of rights
owned or controlled by Univision Group now or in the future (i) the right to subtitle Licensed
Content into English or Spanish for closed-caption (or similar text feature) versions for Broadcast
in Licensed Media on Spanish Language Platforms, and to dub Licensed Content into English for SAP
(secondary audio programming) or into Spanish for audio description for the visually impaired, in
each case of Spanish Language Platforms; and (ii) the exclusive right to Broadcast such English or
Spanish closed-caption (or similar text feature), English SAP or Spanish audio description of
Licensed Content in Licensed Media on Spanish Language Platforms, in each case, in the Territory
during the Term. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall also have the right to offer closed
captions or SAP (or similar functionality) to the extent required by applicable Law. The dubbed
and/or subtitled version of each item of Licensed Content will be delivered to, and be the property
of, Licensor promptly after such dubbed or subtitled version has been produced, subject, during the
Term, to the exclusive license hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon Licensee’s
request, and as promptly as practicable following the delivery of the applicable Licensed Content
pursuant to Section 8.1, Licensor will deliver to Licensee any available scripts,
transcripts or other documents (whether in Spanish and/or English) that would assist Licensee in
preparing such English subtitled or English dubbed versions of Licensed Content. Licensee shall
not, and shall not permit others to, dub or subtitle any Licensed Content, or Broadcast any version
of Licensed Content dubbed or subtitled, in a language other than Spanish or English.
(c) Sublicensees. Licensee’s rights to sublicense the Licensed Rights are set forth
in Section 4.
(d) Univision Group Channels.
(i) Rights to Univision Channels. The Licensed Rights include the exclusive right to
Broadcast, by means of all Licensed Media in the Territory during the Term, on the terms,
conditions, exceptions and exclusions contained herein, the Univision Channels, to the extent that
such Univision Channels are comprised of Licensed Content. Licensee shall also have the right to
(A) complement or replace Audiovisual Content on the Univision Channels with other Audiovisual
Content owned or controlled by Licensee (e.g., by inserting local or licensed programming
(including other Licensed Content)), including to replace Audiovisual Content to which Licensor
does not own or control the relevant Broadcast rights in the Territory; (B) commercialize and sell
its own advertising on the Univision Channels as Broadcast by Licensee; and (C) customize /
reconfigure existing programming offerings on such Univision Channels (e.g., by changing the order
of programming (including Licensed Content)). Upon Licensee’s request, Licensor shall, subject to
the parties’ mutually agreeing on a budget, carry out such complements, replacements,
customizations or reconfigurations and other similar modifications to the Univision Channels
pursuant to this Section 1.2(d)(i); it being understood that such budget (I) shall be no greater
than the sum of the actual, out-of-pocket costs paid by Univision Group in order to complete such
complements, replacements, customizations, reconfigurations and other similar modifications, plus a
reasonable internal overhead cost
allocation (consistent with Univision Group’s standard practices for pricing such services for
use among its internal departments and divisions); and (II) shall be no greater than the market
price (i.e., on an arms length basis) for the services in question.

event later than forty-eight (48) hours following receipt by Licensor of such notice from
Licensee), removes or takes down such Univision Spoiler Content. The obligations of Licensor under

sublicense or otherwise make available any Univision Produced Clips or Licensee Produced Clips of

the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restriction shall not apply, and shall in no way restrict

Licensor to Licensee hereunder (e.g., clips of Licensee’s Broadcast of the World Cup).
1.6 Clip Exchange Arrangements. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, each party
acknowledges and agrees that the other party may continue to participate in customary Clip Exchange
Arrangements and that neither party shall be in breach of this Agreement merely on the basis of

2. Novelas, Co-Productions and Acquired Programs, Etc. The following additional terms,
conditions, exceptions and exclusions shall apply with respect to the following respective
categories of Audiovisual Content or Scripts:
2.1 Novelas. Licensor will cause any and all Novelas (whether produced, co-produced
or acquired by Licensor) that are (or are intended for) Broadcast by Univision Group (or a licensee
of Univision Group of such Novela) in any media in the United States to be Licensed Content, and
the Broadcast rights in all Licensed Media in the Territory in and to such Novelas shall be
exclusively licensed to Licensee hereunder in the Territory during the Term, except (a)
Acquired Completed Novelas to which Univision Group has not acquired any Broadcast rights in any
Licensed Media in any part of the Territory; and (b) those Novelas produced, co-produced or
acquired by Univision Group prior to October 4, 2010, to the extent that Univision Group has not
acquired any Broadcast rights in any Licensed Media in the Territory.
2.2 Acquired Completed Novelas. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section
2.1:
(a) Information; Facilitation of Negotiation. If Univision Group intends to acquire
Broadcast rights outside the Territory to any Novela that Licensor believes would be an Acquired
Completed Novela, Licensor shall promptly notify Licensee in writing (including a detailed
description of such Acquired Completed Novela and the identity and contact information of the
seller or third party licensor). Licensor shall also provide other information reasonably
requested by Licensee (to the extent Univision Group has such information and is not legally or
contractually restricted from sharing it). Upon Licensee’s request, Licensor shall put Licensee in
contact with such seller or third party licensor and use commercially reasonable efforts to
facilitate a negotiation between Licensee and such seller or third party licensor so that
Licensee may attempt to acquire or license the Broadcast rights in the Territory to such
Acquired Completed Novela.
10
(b) Seller or Third Party Licensor Inability or Refusal to Negotiate. In the event
that the applicable seller or third party licensor of a potential Acquired Completed Novela (i) is
unable to negotiate with Licensee in connection with the acquisition or license of Broadcast
rights
in the Territory because such rights are subject to a bona fide, contractual commitment to a third
party existing prior to Univision Group having any discussions with such seller or third party
licensor in respect of such Acquired Completed Novela; or (ii) refuses to negotiate with Licensee,
then Univision Group may, at any time after notice has been delivered to Licensee pursuant to
Section 2.2(a), obtain any Broadcast rights in and to such Acquired Completed Novela (other
than rights to Broadcast in the Licensed Media during the Term in the Territory) and such Acquired
Completed Novela will not be Licensed Content.
(c) Ownership. Licensee shall own any rights in the Territory to an Acquired
Completed Novela that it directly acquires or licenses from the seller or third party licensor, and
for the avoidance of doubt, such rights in and to an Acquired Completed Novela shall not be
included in the Licensed Rights hereunder or be subject to any of the terms, conditions, exceptions
and exclusions contained in this Agreement.
(d) Univision Group Ability to Acquire Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
provisions of this Section 2.2 shall not restrict or impede the ability of Univision Group
to acquire rights (other than rights to Broadcast in Licensed Media during the Term in the
Territory) in and to an Acquired Completed Novela at any time after notice to Licensee has been
delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(a). If Univision Group so acquires or licenses Broadcast
rights outside the Territory to such an Acquired Completed Novela, then such Acquired Completed
Novela shall not be Licensed Content.
2.3 Co-Produced Content (Non Novelas).
(a) Information; Facilitation of Negotiation. With respect to any third party
arrangement or agreement involving the production of Audiovisual Content that is not a Novela that
Licensor believes would be Co-Produced Content, Licensor will promptly notify Licensee in writing
(including a detailed description of such Co-Produced Content, the identity and contact information
of the third party co-producer(s)), and Licensor shall also provide other information reasonably
requested by Licensee (to the extent Univision Group has such information and is not legally or
contractually restricted from sharing it) after it determines to enter into negotiations for any
such third party arrangement or agreement. Upon Licensee’s request, Licensor shall put Licensee in
contact with the third party co-producer(s) and use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate a
negotiation among Licensee, Univision Group and the third-party co-producer(s) so that Licensee, at
its sole option, may elect to either:
(i) Licensee Option to Co-Produce. Co-produce such Audiovisual Content along with Univision
Group and the third party co-producer(s), whereby (A) Licensee would acquire Broadcast rights, as
determined by the parties, in at least the Territory and Univision Group would acquire Broadcast
rights, as determined by the parties, in at least the
United States to such Audiovisual Content; (B) Licensee and Univision Group would negotiate in
good faith any other rights to such Audiovisual Content to be obtained or retained by Univision
Group and/or Licensee; and (C) Licensee and Univision Group would each bear a percentage of the
combined cost of all rights to such Audiovisual Content obtained or retained by Licensee or
Univision Group, which percentages shall be negotiated by the applicable parties in good faith
based on the specific rights acquired by each party; or
11
(ii) Licensee Option to License. License the exclusive Broadcast rights in all Licensed Media
throughout the Territory during the Term to such Co-Produced Content (or such lesser rights as
Licensee may agree) for a separate license fee to be negotiated in good faith among Licensee,
Univision Group and the third party co-producer(s) (or other holder of such rights);
provided, that if Licensee, Univision Group and such third party co-producer(s) (or other
holder of such rights) cannot agree on such license fee after good faith efforts to do so,
Univision Group and the third party co-producer (or other holder of such rights) may thereafter
only license such Broadcast rights to one or more third parties and only for a license fee that is
greater than the highest license fee that Licensee previously offered to pay in such negotiations.
For the avoidance of doubt, neither Univision Group nor such third-party co-producer (or other
holder of such rights) may offer any third party a different or less expansive Broadcast rights
package as compared to a package offered to Licensee, without, in each case, first offering
Licensee the right to negotiate for the license of such rights package pursuant to this Section
2.3(a)(ii).
(b) [Intentionally Omitted]
(c) Seller or Third Party Licensor Inability or Refusal to Negotiate. In the event
that the third party co-producer (i) is unable to negotiate with Licensee in connection with the
co-production, acquisition or license of Broadcast rights in the Territory because such rights are
subject to a bona fide contractual commitment to a third party existing prior to Univision Group
having any discussions with such third party co-producer in respect of such Co-Produced Content; or
(ii) refuses to negotiate with Licensee, then Univision Group may, at any time after notice has
been delivered to Licensee pursuant to Section 2.3(a), obtain any Broadcast rights in and
to such Co-Produced Content (other than rights to Broadcast in Licensed Media during the Term in
the Territory) and such Co-Produced Content shall not be Licensed Content; provided,
however, that Univision Group shall not be permitted to enter into an arrangement for any
Co-Produced Content with a third party co-producer if Univision Group has obtained Broadcast rights
in the United States from such third party (or any of its Affiliates) for any Co-Produced Content
under this Section 2.3 (excluding only Musical Concerts initially Broadcast live) or any
Acquired Other Content from such party (or any of its Affiliates) under Section 2.4
(excluding only Musical Concerts initially Broadcast live) within the immediately preceding twelve
(12) months (as measured from the date on which Licensor delivered the notice to Licensee under
Section 2.3(a) or 2.4(a), as applicable).
(d) Ownership. Licensee shall own any rights in the Territory to any Co-Produced
Content acquired or directly licensed by Licensee from the third party co-producer and/or Univision
Group, and for the avoidance of doubt, such rights in and to such Co-Produced Content shall not be
included in the Licensed Rights hereunder or be subject to any of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
(e) Costs; Budget. If there are any contributions in kind by Licensee or Univision
Group to the Co-Produced Content, any determination of “price” or of Univision Group’s or
Licensee’s payments for their share of the combined Broadcast rights for the United States and the
Territory, as the case may be, shall include the actual cost (and not the fair market value) of
such non-monetary contributions. These amounts shall be included and agreed upon, by all parties
involved in the co-production of the Co-Produced Content, in a detailed budget for the actual costs
of production of each episode of the Co-Produced Content. The budget shall
include all
above-the-line and below-the-line items customarily included in budgets concerning similar types of
programming, as well as the separate fees for the services of key personnel (such as the writer(s),
producer(s), director(s), and host(s)) and the aggregate fees of all others rendering services of
any kind in connection with such Co-Produced Content.

(f) Univision Group Ability to Acquire Rights. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing,
if at any time Licensee is not engaged in good faith negotiations or elects not to negotiate,
license or participate or to withdraw therefrom, or an agreement cannot be reached between Licensee
and the third party co-producer and/or Univision Group within a reasonable period of time so as not
to jeopardize Univision Group’s ability to acquire rights outside the Territory, Univision Group
may obtain any Broadcast rights (other than rights to Broadcast in Licensed Media during the Term
in the Territory) to the Co-Produced Content in question and such Co-Produced Content will not be
Licensed Content.
(g) ***. With respect to any item of Co-Produced Content,
Univision Group shall elect to either (i) contractually agree with its Co-Production Partner(s) not
to (and Univision Group and such Co-Production Partner(s) shall not) sell, transfer or license
Broadcast rights to such Co-Produced Content in the Territory to any ***; or (ii)
contractually agree with such Co-Production Partner(s) not to sell, transfer or license Broadcast
rights to such Co-Produced Content in the Territory or Broadcast such Co-Produced Content in the
Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.3(g) shall not apply with respect
to the Audiovisual Content set forth on Schedule 2, on a program by program basis, for the
term of Licensor’s rights under the applicable co-production agreement or arrangement;
provided, that (A) if Licensor and the applicable Co-Production Partner jointly control the
right to sell, license or otherwise alienate Broadcast rights in the Territory to such Audiovisual
Content and such rights are not then, or are expected within the following six (6) months not to
be, subject to a contractual commitment to a third party, Licensor shall provide to Licensee a
Right of First Negotiation / First Refusal to acquire and/or license such rights following such
time as the rights are no longer subject to such contractual commitment; and (B) if the applicable
Co-Production Partner(s) own or control Broadcast rights in the Territory to such Audiovisual
Content and such rights are not then, or are expected within the following six (6) months not to
be, subject to a contractual commitment to a third party, Licensor shall put Licensee in contact
with the applicable Co-Production Partner(s) and use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate
a negotiation between Licensee and such Co-Production Partner(s) so that Licensee may attempt, and
otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Licensee, to acquire or license such rights
following such time as the rights are no longer subject to such contractual commitment;
provided, further, that in the case of clause (B), if at any time Licensee is not
engaged in good faith negotiations or elects not to negotiate, license or participate or to
withdraw therefrom, or an agreement cannot be reached between Licensee and the Co-Production
Partner(s) and Univision Group within a reasonable period of time, the applicable
Co-Production Partner(s) shall have the right to sell, transfer or license Broadcast rights to
such Audiovisual Content to any party in Mexico (including any ***), and Univision
Group and the applicable Co-Production Partners shall have the right to (1) continue to co-produce
such Audiovisual Content; and (2) Broadcast such Audiovisual Content in the United States.
13
2.4 Acquired Other Content (Non-Novelas).
(a) Information; Facilitation of Negotiation. If Univision Group intends to acquire
Broadcast rights outside the Territory to any Audiovisual Content that Licensor believes would be
Acquired Other Content, Licensor shall promptly notify Licensee in writing (including a detailed
description of such Acquired Other Content, the identity and contact information of the seller or
third party licensor). Licensor shall also provide other information reasonably requested by
Licensee (to the extent Univision Group has such information and is not legally or contractually
restricted from sharing it). Upon Licensee’s request, Licensor shall put Licensee in contact with
such seller or third party licensor and use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate a
negotiation between Licensee and the seller or third party licensor so that Licensee may attempt to
acquire or license the Broadcast rights in the Territory to such Acquired Other Content.
(b) Seller or Third Party Licensor Inability or Refusal to Negotiate. In the event
that the seller or third party licensor of potential Acquired Other Content (i) is unable to
negotiate with Licensee in connection with the acquisition or license of Broadcast rights in the
Territory because such rights are subject to a bona fide, contractual commitment to a third party
existing prior to Univision Group having any discussions with such seller or third party licensor
in respect of such Acquired Other Content; or (ii) refuses to negotiate with Licensee, then
Univision Group may, at any time after notice has been delivered pursuant to Section
2.4(a), obtain any Broadcast rights in and to such Acquired Other Content (other than rights to
Broadcast in the Licensed Media during the Term in the Territory) and such Acquired Other Content
will not be Licensed Content; provided, however, that Univision Group will not be
permitted to enter into an arrangement for any Acquired Other Content with such third party if
Univision Group has obtained Broadcast rights in the United States from such third party (or any of
its Affiliates) for any Acquired Other Content under this Section 2.4 (excluding only
Musical Concerts initially Broadcast live) or any Co-Produced Content from such party (or any of
its Affiliates) under Section 2.3 (excluding only Musical Concerts initially Broadcast
live) within the immediately preceding twelve (12) months (as measured from the date on which
Licensor delivered the notice to Licensee under Section 2.3(a) or 2.4(a), as
applicable).
(c) Ownership. Licensee shall own any rights in the Territory to any Acquired Other
Content that it directly acquires or licenses from the seller or third party licensor, and for the
avoidance of doubt, such Acquired Other Content shall not be included in the Licensed Rights
hereunder or be subject to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(d) Univision Group Ability to Acquire Rights. The provisions of this Section
2.4 will not restrict or impede the ability of Univision Group to acquire rights (other than
rights to Broadcast in Licensed Media during the Term in the Territory) in and to Acquired Other
Content at any time after notice has been delivered to Licensee pursuant to Section
2.4(a). If Univision Group so acquires or licenses Broadcast rights outside the Territory to
such Acquired Other Content, then such Acquired Other Content shall not be Licensed Content.
2.5 Acquired Completed Content; Mexican Soccer Games. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall prevent Univision Group from acquiring Broadcast rights outside the Territory to
any (a) Acquired Completed Content; or (b) Mexican Soccer Games.
14
2.6 Scripts.
(a) Sale of Scripts. Univision Group will be permitted to sell rights in any Script
to a third party so long as, in connection with such sale, Univision Group divests (subject to
Section 2.6(c)) itself of all right, title and interest in and to such Script, including
any Broadcast rights outside the Territory and any other interest (whether monetary or otherwise)
in such Script (e.g., profit participations, revenue shares, options, reversion rights, credits
(except to the extent such credits are required to be retained under applicable Law), etc.). Any
Audiovisual Content produced from such sold Script will not be Licensed Content, Co-Produced
Content, an Acquired Completed Novela or Acquired Other Content solely by reason of Univision
Group’s former ownership of rights in such sold Script.
(b) Exchange of Scripts. Univision Group will be permitted to trade or exchange any
Script (the “Divested Script”) with a third party for one or more other Scripts (the
“Acquired Scripts”) so long as, in connection with such trade or exchange, (i) Univision
Group divests (subject to Section 2.6(c)) itself of all right, title and interest in and to
such Divested Script, including any Broadcast rights outside the Territory and any other interest
(whether monetary or otherwise) in such Divested Script (e.g., profit participations, revenue
shares, options, reversion rights, credits (except to the extent such credits are required to be
retained under applicable Law), etc.); and (ii) Licensor licenses to Licensee hereunder the
exclusive rights to Broadcast in the Licensed Media as part of, and to the full extent of, the
Licensed Rights in the Territory during the Term, Audiovisual Content originally produced in the
Spanish language or with Spanish subtitles produced based on such Acquired Scripts (and such
Audiovisual Content, originally produced in the Spanish language or with Spanish subtitles, once
produced, will automatically and immediately be deemed Licensed Content hereunder to the extent it
would otherwise constitute Licensed Content and the rights to Broadcast such Licensed Content in
the Licensed Media will be exclusively licensed to Licensee as part of, and to the full extent of,
the Licensed Rights in the Territory during the Term). Any Audiovisual Content produced from such
Divested Script will not be Licensed Content, Co-Produced Content, an Acquired Completed Novela or
Acquired Other Content solely by reason of Univision Group’s former ownership of rights in such
Divested Script.
(c) Univision Group Retention of United States Broadcast Rights. If, during the Term,
in any sale, trade or exchange of a Script addressed in Section 2.6(a) or (b),
Univision Group retains any rights to Broadcast in the United States in any Licensed Media any
Audiovisual Content originally produced in the Spanish language or with Spanish subtitles produced
from any such sold Script or Divested Script, Univision Group will also retain the same rights to
Broadcast such Audiovisual Content in such Licensed Media in the Territory for the
same period, to the extent within the Term (and such Audiovisual Content originally produced
in the Spanish language or with Spanish subtitles, to the extent of such rights, once produced,
will automatically and immediately be deemed Licensed Content hereunder to the extent it would
otherwise constitute Licensed Content and the rights to Broadcast such Licensed Content in the
Licensed Media will be exclusively licensed to Licensee as part of, and to the full extent of, the
Licensed Rights in the Territory during the Term).
15
(d) Scripts for Non-Spanish Language Productions. For the avoidance of doubt,
Univision Group will be permitted to sell or exchange in any manner (i.e., the restrictions of
paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 2.6 do not apply) any Script that is not
intended to be originally produced in the Spanish language or with Spanish subtitles;
provided, that
Univision Group prohibits, in a binding agreement with the purchaser or
transferee of any such Script, the production of any Audiovisual Content based on such Script that
is originally produced in the Spanish language or with Spanish subtitles. For the avoidance of
doubt, the aforementioned contractual prohibition shall apply to any successors, transferees,
licensees or assigns of such purchaser or transferee.
2.7 Local Novelas.
(a) Co-Produced Local Novelas. With respect to any Co-Produced Local Novela where
Univision Group participates in the co-production of the Co-Produced Local Novela in whole or in
part in exchange for the right of Univision Group to produce a Novela that is based on the Script
underlying the Co-Produced Local Novela (for the avoidance of doubt, which Novela shall be a new
production of such Script), Univision Group shall have the right either (i) to contractually agree
with the third-party co-producer not to undertake (and actually not undertake) any sale, transfer,
license or Broadcast of such Co-Produced Local Novela in the Territory or in the United States (in
which case such Co-Produced Local Novela shall not be deemed to be Licensed Content or an Acquired
Completed Novela hereunder unless and until Univision Group Broadcasts such Co-Produced Local
Novela in the United States, and at such time, the Co-Produced Local Novela will automatically and
immediately be deemed Licensed Content hereunder to the extent it would otherwise constitute
Licensed Content and the rights to Broadcast such Co-Produced Local Novela in the Licensed Media
will be exclusively licensed to Licensee as part of, and to the full extent of, the Licensed Rights
in the Territory during the Term); or (ii) to acquire Broadcast rights to such Co-Produced Local
Novela for the United States and the Territory (such that the rights to Broadcast such Co-Produced
Local Novela, in the Licensed Media during the Term (or such shorter period equivalent to the term
of rights acquired by Univision Group in the United States) in the Territory, would be and are
licensed exclusively to Licensee hereunder as part of, and to the full extent of, the Licensed
Rights in the Territory during the Term). For the avoidance of doubt, any new Novela produced by
Univision Group based on a Script underlying a Co-Produced Local Novela acquired by Univision Group
as contemplated by this Section 2.7(a) shall be subject to Section 2.1 and shall
constitute Licensed Content.
(b) Univision Local Novelas. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, with respect to any Univision Local Novela, Univision Group shall have the right either (i)
to contractually agree with the third party producer not to undertake (and actually not undertake)
any sale, transfer, license or Broadcast of such Univision Local Novela in the
Territory or in the United States (in which case such Univision Local Novela shall not be
deemed to be Licensed Content or an Acquired Completed Novela hereunder unless and until Univision
Group Broadcasts such Univision Local Novela in the United States, and at such time, the Univision
Local Novela will automatically and immediately be deemed Licensed Content hereunder to the extent
it would otherwise constitute Licensed Content and the rights to Broadcast such Univision Local
Novela in the Licensed Media will be exclusively
licensed to Licensee as part of, and to the full
extent of, the Licensed Rights in the Territory during the Term); or (ii) to acquire the Broadcast
rights to such Univision Local Novela for the United States and the Territory (such that the rights
to Broadcast, in Licensed Media during the Term (or such shorter period equivalent to the term of
rights acquired by Univision Group in the United States) in the Territory, such Univision Local
Novela, would be and are licensed exclusively to Licensee hereunder as part of, and to the full
extent of, the Licensed Rights in the Territory during the Term).
16
(c) Notice. Licensor shall inform Licensee at each Informational Meeting of any
arrangements that Univision Group has entered into for a Co-Produced Local Novela or Univision
Local Novela since the immediately preceding Informational Meeting (or if Informational Meetings
have not yet taken place during the Term, since the Effective Date).
2.8 Reporting, Informational Meetings and Compliance.
(a) Informational Meetings. A coordinator designated by Licensor shall meet with a
coordinator designated by Licensee once each quarter (the “Informational Meetings”) to
discuss any planned Co-Produced Content, Acquired Other Content, Acquired Completed Novelas,
Co-Produced Local Novelas and Univision Local Novelas and any Script exchanges or divestitures, in
each case, if any, of which notice has not been previously given at prior Informational Meetings.
At such meeting Licensor, subject to legal or third party contractual confidentiality restrictions,
will provide information reasonably available to Univision Group regarding such planned Co-Produced
Content, Acquired Other Content, Acquired Completed Novelas, Co-Produced Local Novelas and
Univision Local Novelas or Script exchanges or divestitures, including: (i) a reasonably detailed
description of such Audiovisual Content or Script; (ii) the identity of the third party producer,
co-producer or owner (as applicable) with respect to such Audiovisual Content or Script; and (iii)
any other information required to be provided with respect to any such Audiovisual Content or
Script under this Section 2.
(b) Univision Group Certification. Within sixty (60) days of the end of each fiscal
year, the highest-ranking production officer of Univision Group will deliver to Licensee a
certificate attesting that, with respect to each item of Co-Produced Content, item of Acquired
Other Content, Acquired Completed Novela, Co-Produced Local Novela, Univision Local Novela and any
Script exchanges or divestitures, in each case, if any, entered into by Univision Group in the
prior year, (i) Univision Group used good faith efforts not to structure any such arrangements or
agreements in a manner intended to cause the applicable Audiovisual Content not to be deemed to be
Licensed Content hereunder; and (ii) such arrangement or agreement was negotiated and entered into
by Univision Group and the applicable third party on an arms-length basis.
(c) Confidentiality. Licensee acknowledges that any and all information provided by
Licensor in accordance with this Section 2 is intended solely for the purpose of permitting
Licensee to determine whether to exercise its rights under this Section 2 and to monitor
compliance by Univision Group with the provisions contained in this Section 2 relating to
Co-Produced Content, Acquired Other Content, Acquired Completed Novelas, Co-Produced Local Novelas,
Univision Local Novelas and Scripts; it being agreed that Licensee shall keep confidential such
information (to the extent such information is not otherwise publicly available), shall not use
such information for their own account and shall not contact or engage in discussions with any
person (excluding its representatives and advisors) other than Univision Group or the relevant
seller, third party licensor or co-producer with respect to such agreement or arrangement.
17
(d) Acquired Completed Content. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor will not be
required to provide any information for or regarding Acquired Completed Content or Mexican Soccer
Games.
2.9 Audiovisual Content Acquired Pursuant to the Program License Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, no rights to Audiovisual Content acquired or licensed by Univision Group from
Licensee, its Affiliates or third parties pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1 and 2 of the
Amended and Restated 2011 Program License Agreement shall be deemed to be Licensed Content,
licensed hereunder, or subject to the provisions of this Section 2.
3. General Terms and Conditions Relating to Audiovisual Content. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement, the grant of rights hereunder, and the parties’ respective rights and
obligations with respect thereto, shall be subject to the following general terms, conditions,
exceptions and exclusions.
3.1 Good Faith Efforts. Licensor agrees that it will use good faith efforts not to
structure arrangements or agreements with respect to Audiovisual Content in a manner intended to
cause such Audiovisual Content not to be Licensed Content.
3.2 Spanish Language Platforms. Licensee shall not Broadcast any Licensed Content or
any portion thereof other than on a Spanish Language Platform; it being understood and agreed that
the foregoing restriction shall not preclude the Broadcast of Licensed Content in the Licensed
Media in the Territory during the Term (a) pursuant to (i) MVPD Arrangements, (ii) Sublicensing
Arrangements approved by Licensor pursuant to Section 4 or (iii) TIN Branded Experiences,
in each case, involving the Broadcast of Licensed Content through a distributor or aggregator of
multi-lingual Audiovisual Content (e.g., YouTube, Apple / iTunes); or (b) pursuant to Clip Exchange
Arrangements. For the avoidance of doubt, the restriction in this Section 3.2 shall not
preclude bona fide Short Form Commercial Advertising on any and all platforms (including
non-Spanish language platforms) intended to market, advertise or promote the availability of
Licensed Content.
3.3 Sale of Broadcast Rights. Pursuant to the terms and conditions and subject to the
exceptions and exclusions of Section 1 and Section 2, Licensor shall not, and shall
cause Univision Group not to, sell, license or otherwise alienate any Broadcast rights in any
Licensed Media in the Territory to any Audiovisual Content to the extent such Broadcast rights
would be reasonably expected (absent such sale, license or other alienation) to become Licensed
Rights, and to vest with Licensee during the Term.
3.4 Venevision Agreements. Audiovisual Content acquired or licensed by Univision
Group from, or co-produced by Univision Group with, Venevision pursuant to the Venevision
Agreements shall not be included in the Licensed Content or Licensed Rights hereunder, nor or be
subject to any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 2);
provided, that Univision Group shall not agree to any amendment of such agreements that
would adversely affect Licensee’s rights hereunder (it being understood that a mere renewal or
extension of the term of such agreements (other than the Venevision PLA, which shall not be renewed
or extended) shall not be deemed to adversely affect Licensee’s rights hereunder).
18
3.5 NFL Arrangement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
parties acknowledge and agree that Univision Group shall have the right to Broadcast by means of
Internet and mobile in the Territory certain websites related to the National Football League,
pursuant to that certain letter agreement between NFL Enterprises LLC and Univision Interactive
Media, Inc. (an Affiliate of Licensor), dated September 14, 2010, as it may be amended by the
parties thereto. Audiovisual Content available on such websites shall not be included in the
Licensed Content or Licensed Rights hereunder, nor be subject to any of the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. Licensor represents and warrants that (a) a significant majority of the content
provided by Univision Group for such websites is not Audiovisual Content; (b) all Audiovisual
Content provided by Univision Group for Broadcast on such websites is related to the National
Football League; and (c) the content of such websites does not include Broadcasts of National
Football League games (other than clips and highlight reels of such games).
3.6 Live Event Streaming. To the extent the live Internet streaming Broadcast rights
in the Territory to a specific non-sporting live event (e.g., a live musical concert) that
constitutes Licensed Content (for which Licensed Rights would be granted to Licensee hereunder) are
promoted or controlled by the Univision Group live events business, the exercise of such live
Internet streaming Broadcast rights by Licensee will be subject to the following additional terms,
conditions, exceptions and exclusions:
(a) Licensor Notice. Licensor will inform Licensee in writing of the availability of
the live Internet streaming Broadcast rights to each such live event to which Univision Group owns
or controls such rights in the Territory. If such streaming rights are subject to Promotional
Obligations, then Licensor shall also inform Licensee of such Promotional Obligations and any other
terms and conditions applicable to such live event (which shall not include the payment of
additional consideration by Licensee). Licensor shall provide such notice to Licensee as soon as
reasonably practicable following Univision Group’s acquisition of such rights, but in no event
later than forty five (45) days before the applicable live
event (or if Univision Group acquires such rights within forty five (45) days of the
applicable live event, within forty eight (48) hours of such acquisition (or if Univision Group
acquires such live event within forty eight (48) hours of such live event, as promptly as
practicable following such acquisition)).
(b) Licensee Election. If Licensee wishes to stream such a live event to which
Univision Group owns or controls the live Internet streaming Broadcast rights in the Territory, it
shall have the exclusive rights to do so in the Licensed Media during the Term to the full extent
of rights owned or controlled by Univision Group now or in the future, provided it agrees to comply
with the Promotional Obligations (and such other terms and conditions) contained in the above
notice. If Licensee does not wish to stream such live event, or does not agree to satisfy the
Promotional Obligations or other terms and conditions, Univision Group may Broadcast the live event
by way of Internet streaming in the Territory, so long as Univision Group satisfies the Promotional
Obligations, and the other terms and conditions applicable to such live event (subject to de
minimis differences) as provided in the above notice.
(c) No Impact on Live Sports Rights or Non-Streaming Rights. For the avoidance of
doubt, nothing contained in this Section 3.6 shall in any way apply to, or otherwise
affect
Licensee’s rights to exercise, (i) its rights hereunder to live sports events, whether by means of
live Internet streaming or any other Licensed Media; or (ii) any of its other rights hereunder with
respect to live events (other than the live Internet streaming Broadcast rights described in this
Section 3.6), in each case, under, and in accordance with, this Agreement.
19
3.7 Territorial Integrity; Anti-Piracy. The license herein granted to Licensee is an
exclusive license to Broadcast the Licensed Content in the Licensed Media in the Territory during
the Term in accordance with the terms, conditions, exceptions and exclusions contained in this
Agreement. In connection therewith, and in furtherance of the foregoing, Licensee and Licensor
each agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to employ copy protection and other security
measures reasonably designed to effectively prevent piracy and limit, in accordance with and
subject to the then prevailing commercial practices and standards of broadcasters or digital
platform operators, access to the Licensed Content (or content licensed by Licensor) to persons
located inside the Territory or outside the Territory, as applicable.
(a) Territorial Integrity.
(i) Free Television Spillover.
(A) Licensor acknowledges and agrees that Licensee’s, its Affiliates’ and its Network
Affiliates’ Broadcasts of Licensed Content by means of Free Television from within the Territory
which are intended for reception in the Territory may be received outside of the Territory (such
reception, the “Licensee Spillover”). Licensor agrees that the occurrence of Licensee
Spillover shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement so long as (1) Licensee, its
Affiliates and its Network Affiliates use their commercially reasonable efforts not to increase the
predicted noise limited coverage contour of each of their respective stations outside the Territory
beyond that authorized by the Comisión Federal de Telecomunicaciones and the Secretaría de
Comunicaciones y Transportes as of November 1, 2010 (the “Licensee
Permitted Spillover Contour”), provided, however, that with respect to any station
acquired after November 1, 2010, the Licensee Permitted Spillover Contour shall be determined as of
the closing date of the acquisition of such station; (2) such Licensee Spillover is incidental to
their respective stations’ operations as authorized by the Comisión Federal de Telecomunicaciones
and the Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes; and (3) Licensee, its Affiliates and its
Network Affiliates do not market advertising based on the availability of such Licensee Spillover
to persons located outside the Territory. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence,
Licensor and Licensee acknowledge and agree that Licensee, its Affiliates and its Network
Affiliates shall have the right and ability to (without being in breach of this Agreement) (x)
consent to the re-transmission of a Free Television channel by any Cable Television System in the
United States more than half of the subscribers of which reside within thirty-five (35) miles from
the geographic reference coordinates of the center of the community of license of the transmission
facility of such Free Television channel (“Licensee Facility Location”); and (y) base the
price of any local advertising time or space sold on such Free Television channels in the Territory
on the ability of viewers outside the Territory to view such Free Television channels.
20
(B) Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Univision Group’s Broadcasts of Licensed Content by
means of Free Television from within the United States which is intended for reception in the
United States may be received inside of the Territory (such
reception, the “Univision
Spillover”). Licensee agrees that the occurrence of Univision Spillover shall not be
considered a breach of this Agreement so long as (1) Univision Group uses its commercially
reasonable efforts not to increase the predicted noise limited coverage contour of each of their
respective licensed stations in the Territory beyond that authorized by the FCC as of November 1,
2010 (the “Licensor Permitted Spillover Contour”), provided, however, that with respect to
any station acquired after November 1, 2010, the Licensor Permitted Spillover Contour shall be
determined as of the closing date of the acquisition of such station; (2) such Univision Spillover
is incidental to Univision Group’s stations’ operations as authorized by the FCC; and (3) Univision
Group does not market advertising based on the availability of such Univision Spillover to persons
located inside the Territory. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Licensor and
Licensee acknowledge and agree that Univision Group shall have the right and ability to (without
being in breach of this Agreement) (x) consent to re-transmission of a Free Television channel by
any Cable Television System in the Territory more than half of the subscribers of which reside
within thirty-five (35) miles from the geographic reference coordinates of the center of the
community of license of the transmission facility of such Free Television channel (“Licensor
Facility Location”); and (y) base the price of any local advertising time or space on such Free
Television channels in the United States on the ability of viewers in the Territory to view such
Free Television channels.
(ii) Satellite Encryption. In accordance with then prevailing commercial practices of
broadcasters of Audiovisual Content in the United States, Licensee (and its Affiliates) and
Univision Group shall encrypt their respective satellite Broadcasts of Licensed Content in the
Territory and outside the Territory respectively, on a conditional access basis (i.e., access to
the Broadcast is dependent on the use of receiving equipment which decrypts the Broadcast if, and
only if, the user of the equipment is individually and specifically authorized to access the
Broadcast by the party permitted to Broadcast such Audiovisual Content). The reception of such an
encrypted satellite Broadcast or the unauthorized decryption of such a satellite Broadcast shall
not be considered a breach of this Agreement by Licensee (or its
Affiliates) or Univision Group, respectively, so long as (A) such parties’ Broadcast is
intended for reception only by authorized viewers inside the Territory or outside the Territory,
respectively; (B) such unauthorized reception or decryption is unintentional and incidental; and
(C) Licensee (and its Affiliates) or Univision Group, as applicable, does not market the
availability of such reception or decryption to persons located outside of its authorized
territory.
(iii) Internet / Mobile Geo-Filtering. In accordance with the then prevailing commercial
practices of Internet and mobile distributors of Audiovisual Content in the United States, as
determined on a platform-by-platform basis, (A) Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to use geo-filtering technology intended to prevent, and reasonably designed to effectively
prevent, a person outside the Territory (including any Internet user, mobile device user, or
authenticated video customer of an MVPD (e.g., via so-called “TV Everywhere”)) from accessing
Internet/mobile Broadcasts of Licensed Content
from within the Territory; and (B) Univision Group
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to use geo-filtering technology intended to prevent, and
reasonably designed to effectively prevent, a person in the Territory (including any Internet user,
mobile device user, or authenticated video customer of an MVPD (e.g., via so-called “TV
Everywhere”)) from accessing Internet/mobile Broadcasts of Licensed Content from the United States.
For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be insufficient for Licensee or Licensor to use geo-filtering
technology that
21
permits Broadcasts of Licensed Content
to be accessed by a person located outside
or inside the Territory, respectively, who merely furnishes an address located, or the number of a
credit card issued, outside or inside the Territory, respectively. From time to time, Licensor or
Licensee may, if it uses a specific form of geo-filtering technology, request that the other party
adopt such technology, and upon such request, such other party shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to adopt and implement such technology. In furtherance of the foregoing,
Univision Group and Grupo Televisa, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its
sublicensees to use such geo-filtering technology in accordance with this paragraph, as applicable.
(iv) Intent. Univision Group and Licensee acknowledge and agree that this Section
3.7(a) is intended solely for purposes of ensuring the territorial integrity appurtenant to
Licensor’s and Licensee’s rights in and to Licensed Content, and ensuring that neither Licensee nor
Licensor will be in violation of this Agreement merely because transmissions or retransmissions
from stations located inside or outside the Territory, respectively, or transmissions or
retransmissions from satellite signals intended for television stations, cable systems or
direct-to-home subscribers inside or outside the Territory, respectively, or over the Internet or
mobile platforms (or by any other Licensed Media), may be unintentionally and incidentally viewed
outside or inside the Territory, respectively, and is not intended to give Licensee or Licensor any
right to Broadcast, or license others to Broadcast, Licensed Content intended for viewing, or which
may be viewed, outside or inside the Territory, respectively, in each case except as provided in
Section 3.7(a)(i).
(b) Copy Protection; Physical Security. Each of Univision Group and Grupo Televisa
agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to mutually agree within a reasonable timeframe,
(i.e., at most twelve (12) months after execution of this Agreement) on a plan and schedule to
implement (and thereafter to implement in accordance with such plan and schedule) appropriate copy
protection technology or solutions, generally consistent with the then prevailing commercial
practices of similarly situated broadcasters in the respective territory, as determined
on a platform by platform basis. For the avoidance of doubt, such measures are intended to
(i) protect the intellectual property rights in each of Univision Group’s and Grupo Televisa’s
Broadcasts; and (ii) prevent and/or deter theft, unauthorized copying or unauthorized Broadcast,
destruction of, or unauthorized access or injury to, the materials and intellectual property rights
underlying such Broadcasts.
(c) Protective Action.
(i) Take-Down Notices. Licensee and Licensor shall each have the right, but not the
obligation, either itself or through a third party reasonably acceptable to the other party (e.g.,
BayTSP), to issue “take-down” notices with respect to any unauthorized third party Broadcasts of
Licensed Content in the Territory (and shall copy the other party on any such issuances).
22
(ii) Legal Action. In the event that any unauthorized third party Broadcast of Licensed
Content continues for a period of seventy-two (72) hours following the issuance of a “take-down”
notice by either party (or its third party designee), the party issuing the notice shall promptly
notify the other party, and the parties shall reasonably cooperate to address such unauthorized
third party Broadcast of Licensed Content; provided, that only
Univision Group shall have
the right, if appropriate, to initiate and prosecute litigation against the applicable third party;
provided, however, that Licensee may commence and prosecute such litigation (and
shall in such case inform Licensor of its actions as promptly as practicable) in the event that (A)
failure to do so immediately would result in irreparable harm to Licensee; or (B) Univision Group
unreasonably fails to commence or prosecute litigation after request by Licensee.
(iii) Costs and Recoveries. If the party initiating such litigation requests cooperation or
assistance from the other party (in connection with Section 3.7(c)(ii)), the initiating
party will be responsible for the reasonable costs (including attorneys fees) of such cooperation
or assistance incurred by such other party. In the event of litigation (or similar action or
threatened action) against the applicable third party, any monetary remedy, award, statutory
damages, settlement or other recovery resulting from such litigation, action or threatened action
shall be allocated as follows: (A) first, to the initiating party, to recoup any costs
(including attorneys fees) incurred by the initiating party in pursuing such litigation (including
such costs incurred by the other party and reimbursed by the initiating party); and (B)
second, any remaining amounts to Licensor.
3.8 Offensive or Politically Insensitive Platforms. If at any time Licensor
reasonably determines that the Broadcast of Licensed Content on (a) the Televisa Interactive
Network or other Spanish Language Platform owned or controlled by Licensee (other than Linear
Television Channels, for which Licensor’s withdrawal rights shall be limited to those set forth in
Section 8.10); or (b) pursuant to any Sublicensing Arrangements, would result in Licensed
Content being available on a website or other platform that contains offensive or politically
insensitive content that Licensor reasonably believes is likely to substantially and adversely
affect Univision Group, then (i) Licensor may promptly provide to Licensee written notice of such
determination (including the basis therefor); and (ii) upon receipt of such notice, Licensee shall
address, as soon as reasonably
practicable, or in the case of clause (b) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the owner / operator of the applicable website or other platform to address, Licensor’s concern
(including through the removal of Licensed Content from such offensive website or platform). In no
event will Licensee cause Licensed Content to be Broadcast on an adult entertainment (as such term
is commonly understood in the entertainment industry in the United States) site or adult
entertainment platform that is owned or controlled by Licensee.
4. Sublicensing; Third Party Arrangements.
4.1 Licensee Right to Sublicense; General Requirements.
(a) Licensee Right to Sublicense. Pursuant to the terms and conditions and subject to
the exceptions and exclusions contained in this Agreement, the Licensed Rights include the right to
sublicense to third parties the right to exercise the Licensed Rights (and all other rights and
entitlements hereunder attendant and appurtenant thereto), subject, if applicable, to the approval
of Licensor pursuant to Section 4.2.

OMITTED PORTIONS OF THE DOCUMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
(b) General Requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any
Sublicensing Arrangement or third party arrangement for a TIN Branded Experience on
which any
Licensed Content is Broadcast shall comply with the following requirements (the “General
Requirements”) unless expressly waived in writing by Licensor in its sole discretion on a
case-by-case basis:
(i) Term and Use Restrictions. Licensee shall not enter into any Sublicensing Arrangement or
third party arrangement for a TIN Branded Experience: (i) with a term that is longer than the
remaining Term; (ii) that provides for Broadcast of Licensed Content outside the Territory; (iii)
that does not require geo-filtering outside the Territory (substantially consistent with
Section 3.7(a)(iii)); and (iv) that would cause Licensed Content to be distributed on an
adult entertainment site or platform.
(ii) Linear Television Channel. Licensee shall not enter into any Sublicensing Arrangement
that involves the Broadcast of Licensed Content on any third party Linear Television Channel.
(iii) Core Controls. Any Sublicensing Arrangement must provide Licensee with the following
core controls over the Licensed Content (“Core Controls”) vis-à-vis the sublicensee, which
Licensee shall exercise as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the provisions hereof:
(a) Licensee (and not the sublicensee) shall have editorial control of the Licensed Content and
will not permit the sublicensee to edit or manipulate such Licensed Content (e.g., mashups) without
the prior written consent of Licensor; (b) Licensee (and not the sublicensee) shall have the right
to select, refresh and withdraw Licensed Content; (c) the sublicensee shall not be permitted to
sublicense the Licensed Content; (d) the sublicensee shall not be permitted to authorize any third
party to Broadcast the Licensed Content (except that the sublicensee can place its branded
applications, embed its branded media player or employ similar branded and controlled functionality
in a third party’s sites, in each case, consistent with the then
prevailing industry practices); and (e) Licensee will have remedies that are substantially no
less favorable to Licensee, mutatis mutandis, than Univision Group’s remedies set forth in
Section 15.
(iv) Content Ratio Tests. Licensee shall not enter into any Sublicensing Arrangement or third
party arrangement for a TIN Branded Experience that makes available to the applicable third party a
number of hours of Licensed Content which constitute more than *** of the
total number of hours of Audiovisual Content made available under such Sublicensing Arrangement or
third party arrangement for a TIN Branded Experience or a number of hours of Audiovisual Content
produced or owned by Licensee which constitute less than *** of the total number of
hours of Audiovisual Content made available under such Sublicensing Arrangement or third party
arrangement for a TIN Branded Experience; provided, that the content ratio requirement set
forth in this Section 4.1(b)(iv) shall not apply to Sublicensing Arrangements or third
party arrangements for TIN Branded Experiences with bona fide nationally recognized non-MVPD
distributors in the Territory relating to (i) the Broadcast of all, or substantially all, of the
feed of one or more of the Univision Channels and/or the Televisa Channels; or (ii) the Broadcast
of individual items of Audiovisual Content that were Broadcast on the applicable Univision Channel
or Televisa Channel within the immediately preceding thirty (30) days. For the avoidance of doubt,
any such Sublicensing Arrangements with bona fide nationally recognized non-MVPD distributors in
the Territory shall be subject to Licensor’s reasonable approval under Section 4.2, and
shall be subject to the other General Requirements.

(v) Long-Term Arrangements. Licensee shall not enter into any Sublicensing Arrangement or
third party arrangement for a UIN Branded Experience that has a term (including any extensions or
renewals) that is longer than ***.
4.2 Licensor Approval.
(a) Licensor Approval Required. Other than as provided in Section 4.4, all
Sublicensing Arrangements will require the prior approval of Licensor (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Licensor may not condition its approval of any
proposed Sublicensing Arrangement on the payment to Univision Group of any monetary or other
consideration or on any changes to the then-existing arrangements between Licensee and Univision
Group (including under this Agreement). However, in determining whether to provide such approval,
the Licensor may take into account the terms and circumstances of the proposed Sublicensing
Arrangement, including the financial terms and conditions of the proposed Sublicensing Arrangement,
commercial terms of the proposed Sublicensing Arrangement as compared to industry standards at such
time, the scope and extent of the rights to be granted under the proposed Sublicensing Arrangement,
and the identity of the proposed counterparty (together with the overall economic benefit of the
Sublicensing Arrangement to Licensee). It shall be deemed to be unreasonable for Licensor to
withhold any approval required under this Section 4.2(a) of any proposed Sublicensing
Arrangement on the basis of the identity of the proposed counterparty or the proposed terms if
Univision Group has previously entered into a contractual arrangement (which is then in effect)
with such proposed counterparty for the Broadcast of Excluded Content in the Territory or the
Broadcast of Audiovisual Content in
Mexico (unless such arrangement is required by applicable Law), in each case, on terms
consistent therewith.
(b) Approval in Licensor’s Sole Discretion. Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a),
Licensor may withhold its approval in its sole discretion of any Sublicensing Arrangement on a
case-by-case basis that:
(i) Non-Spanish Language Arrangements. Permits the Broadcast of Licensed Content in any
language other than Spanish (including via closed caption, SAP, or other subtitling or dubbing).
(ii) Previously Owned Platforms. Permits the Broadcast of Audiovisual Content directly or
indirectly on any platform that was owned or controlled by Licensee or its controlled Affiliates
within the immediately preceding twenty-four (24) months.
4.3 Licensor Approval Procedures.
(a) General Procedures. Licensor will appoint one or more contact persons to review
proposed Sublicensing Arrangements and one of such contact persons to have the authority to provide
approvals of Sublicensing Arrangements on behalf of Licensor. Licensee will appoint one or more
contact persons who will provide all information necessary to make an informed decision about
proposed Sublicensing Arrangements, whom Licensor is to contact with any questions and to whom
Licensor is to give its determination as to whether it will approve any applicable Sublicensing
Arrangement.
25
(b) Digital Distribution Approval Process. Without limiting anything contained in
Section 4.3(a), the following additional procedures will apply to any Licensee request for
approval of, and any Licensor determination as to whether it will approve, any Sublicensing
Arrangement relating to digital distribution of the Licensed Content:
(i) Proposed Transaction Notice. If Licensee desires to enter into any Sublicensing
Arrangement for digital distribution, Licensee shall provide a notice of the proposed Sublicensing
Arrangement to the general counsel, chief financial officer and head of digital distribution of
Licensor, which notice shall contain the identity of the counterparty and a summary of all other
material relationships regarding Audiovisual Content with the sublicensee under such proposed
Sublicensing Arrangement. Licensee shall also provide only to the general counsel an unredacted
copy of the draft agreement or term sheet governing such Sublicensing Arrangement and a copy of the
draft agreement or term sheet redacted only so as not to disclose economic and other sensitive
terms and conditions (such agreements and description together, the “Proposed Transaction
Notice”). The general counsel may make available the unredacted copy of the draft agreement or
term sheet only to the deputy general counsel and head counsel for the television department of
Licensor and may make available the redacted copy of the draft agreement or term sheet only to such
persons as necessary to permit Licensor to decide whether to approve or reject the proposed
Sublicensing Arrangement. The general counsel of Licensor shall ensure that no employee or
consultant of Licensor involved in digital distribution operations obtains any unredacted copy of
the draft agreement or term sheet or any of the
redacted information. If Licensee is prohibited from providing Licensor with a copy of the
draft agreement or term sheet, then the parties will cooperate in good faith to determine an
alternative means of providing Licensor with the requisite information necessary for Licensor to
properly evaluate the proposed transaction, without violating any applicable contractual or other
restrictions.
(ii) Evaluation Period. Licensor shall respond in writing to the Proposed Transaction Notice
(either approving or rejecting the proposed arrangement, and setting forth the basis for any
rejection) to Licensee within ten (10) Business Days of Licensee’s provision of any Proposed
Transaction Notice (the “Evaluation Period”); provided, that if the Sublicensing
Arrangement has a term (including any extensions or renewals) longer than three (3) years but
shorter than five (5) years, then the time period for such approval shall be thirty (30) Business
Days (instead of ten (10) Business Days). If Licensor does not reject a proposed Sublicensing
Arrangement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence during the Evaluation Period,
such proposed transaction will be deemed to have been approved by Licensor on the terms contained
in the applicable Proposed Transaction Notice.
(c) Renewals; Amendments. Any renewal of a Sublicensing Arrangement will require
Licensor approval in accordance with this Section 4. For the avoidance of doubt, this
Section 4.3(c) shall not apply to any third party arrangement for a TIN Branded Experience
(as Licensor approval is not otherwise required for such arrangements). Amendments, modifications,
extensions and/or waivers to any existing
Sublicensing Arrangement that would cause such
Sublicensing Arrangement to deviate in any material respect from the existing Sublicensing
Arrangement, or affect the economics or scope of rights under such Sublicensing Arrangements, or
violate any of the General Requirements, including the Core Controls will require Licensor’s
approval in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 applicable to such
Sublicensing Arrangement, as amended. Any other amendment, modification, extension and/or waivers
to an approved Sublicensing Arrangement shall not require Licensor’s approval.
26

with the General Requirements. Licensee shall provide Licensor with written notice (that contains

interactive voting systems, etc.), sharing capability, links to other community features, overlays,

Licensed Content, and to undertake Technological Enhancements with respect to Licensed Content, in
each case, consistent with the then prevailing industry custom and practice in the Territory.

promotions.
28
(g) Limitation to DTO. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.1 shall
only apply to Broadcast of Licensed Content by means of DTO, and shall not apply to any forms of
rental, lease, on demand access (including any form of DTR or other download to rent) or other

29
7. Notification and Acceptance of Programming; Scheduling Cooperation.
7.1 Timing of Availability. Each item of Licensed Content shall be made available by
Licensor to Licensee for Broadcast pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (and the Licensed Rights
with respect thereto shall vest):
(a) with respect to each item of Licensed Content not addressed in the following provisions of
this Section 7.1, upon the first to occur of (i) the date when such Licensed Content is
initially Broadcast by Univision Group in any Licensed Media; or (ii) the date when such Licensed
Content is first made available for Broadcast by any third party in any Licensed Media;
(b) with respect to each Movie, upon the conclusion of the then applicable “first-run”
theatrical availability window (as is then commonly understood in the motion picture industry in
the Territory); provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, (i) any theatrical “re-release”
of a Movie shall not have any effect on the availability of the applicable Movie to Licensee; and
(ii) with respect to any Movie not initially theatrically released (e.g., a “direct-to-video”
Movie) the availability shall be in accordance, mutatis mutandis, with Section 7.1(a);
(c) [Intentionally Omitted]
(d) with respect to each item of Ancillary Content, upon the first to occur of (i) the date
when such Ancillary Content is initially Broadcast by Univision Group; (ii) the date when such
Ancillary Content is first made available for Broadcast by any third party in Licensed
Media; or (iii) the date when the applicable Licensed Content to which the Ancillary Content
is related is actually first Broadcast by Licensee in the Territory.
For the avoidance of doubt, rights to Univision Produced Clips or Licensee Produced Clips shall be
available (and the Licensed Rights with respect thereto shall vest) upon the availability and
vesting (in accordance with this Section 7.1) of the applicable item of Licensed Content
from which such clips are excerpted.
7.2 Availability Notices; Requests for Delivery.
(a) New Programs and Movies. At least as often as the first Business Day of each
calendar quarter, Licensor will deliver a written notice (an “Availability Notice”) to
Licensee specifying the Programs and Movies that (i) have become available to Licensee hereunder
since the delivery of the preceding Availability Notice; or (ii) may no longer be available to
Licensee hereunder (detailing the reason for such unavailability) (it being understood that the
first Availability Notice, which Licensor shall deliver to Licensee no later than April 1, 2011,
shall only be required to include those Programs and Movies that have become available to Licensee
since the Effective Date). Each Availability Notice shall specify, for each such Program or Movie,
(A) the name, length, number of episodes (if readily available), genre and content type; (B) Rights
Restrictions (if any); and (C) Clearances (if any) that have not been obtained that would prohibit,
restrict or impair Licensee’s Licensed Rights to such Programs or Movies. For purposes of this
Section 7.2(a) only, the term “Program” shall refer to Programs initially Broadcast, or
intended for initial Broadcast, on a Linear Television Channel.
(b) Library Programs and Movies. No later than forty-five (45) days following the
Effective Date, Licensor shall deliver to Licensee a list that contains, to the best of Licensor’s
knowledge, all Programs and Movies available to Licensee hereunder as of the Effective Date (a
“Library Availability Notice”). The Library Availability Notice shall specify, for each
such Program or Movie, the name, length, number of episodes (if readily available), genre and
content type of such Program or Movie. For purposes of this Section 7.2(b) only, the term
“Program” shall refer to Programs initially Broadcast, or intended for initial Broadcast, on a
Linear Television Channel.
30
(c) Other Licensed Content. Promptly following the Effective Date, each of Licensor
and Licensee shall designate a contact person to, over the first twelve (12) months following the
Effective Date, collaborate in good faith to determine a reasonable process, format and timetable
for Licensor to provide Licensee (and, following such determination, Licensor shall so provide
Licensee) with adequate information regarding other Licensed Content available to Licensee
hereunder. If no such process, format and timetable has been agreed by the end of such twelve (12)
month period, then thereafter, the Availability Notice delivered under Section 7.2(a) shall
include all Licensed Content as opposed to only Programs and Movies and provide the information
specified under Section 7.2(a) with respect to such Licensed Content. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is understood and agreed that this Section 7.2(c) shall not apply to (x)
those Programs and Movies that are governed by Sections 7.2(a) and (b); and (y)
Ancillary Content (which is governed by Section 8.12).
(d) Requests for Delivery. Upon the request of Licensee, Licensor shall deliver to
Licensee whatever materials are reasonably available with respect to any available Licensed
Content, at Licensee’s expense to the extent Licensee requests more than a pilot or representative
episode or clip with respect to an available item of Licensed Content. If Licensee desires
delivery of any available Licensed Content, it shall notify Licensor of its request for delivery,
at any time, in a writing specifying the name of the desired available Licensed Content and such
other information as may reasonably be requested by Licensor to complete delivery of the requested
Licensed Content.
7.3 Cooperation. Until the Information Tail Date and subject to applicable Law,
Licensor shall cooperate in good faith with Licensee, to the extent that such cooperation does not
interfere with its businesses, in Licensee’s efforts to schedule, market and promote Licensee’s
programming services and offerings, by attending the Informational Meetings (which may include
separate meetings for television (which meetings shall include GT’s Corporate President of
Television and Content and Licensor’s President of Univision Networks), motion picture and digital
programming) and providing Licensee with brief descriptions of Programs, Movies and other material
items of Univision Publications Content anticipated to be licensed hereunder that are in production
or have been “greenlit” or otherwise set for production, anticipated availability dates for such
items of Licensed Content, and other information reasonably requested by Licensee when such
information becomes available to Univision Group; it being understood that any programming or
production schedules so provided would be subject to modification and that no representation or
warranty is being or would be made with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor
shall have no obligation to provide to Licensee any information under this Section 7.3 (a)
regarding any such items of Licensed Content that are in production or have been “greenlit” or
otherwise set for production that Licensor believes in good faith will not become available for
Broadcast in the Territory until after the Term, (b) during the final year prior to the Information
Tail Date, to the extent that Licensor believes in good faith that the disclosure of such
information to Licensee would competitively disadvantage Univision Group, or (c) that is subject to
legal or third party contractual confidentiality restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, the
obligations of the parties under this section shall not in any way limit, restrain, expand or
otherwise modify any of the independent obligations of the parties contained elsewhere in this
Agreement.
31
7.4 Production Services. From time to time, Licensee shall have the right to submit
to Licensor bids to render production services for Univision Group Audiovisual Content, and
Licensor shall be able to accept or reject such bids in its sole and absolute discretion.
8. Delivery, Expenses and Use of Licensed Content.
8.1 Delivery Procedure; Clean Versions.
(a) Delivery of Licensed Content. Following Licensee’s sending a request for delivery
of an item of Licensed Content pursuant to Section 7.2(d) of this Agreement, Licensor shall
deliver to Licensee, at Licensee’s expense, a visual and aural reproduction of each such
item of Licensed Content either (at Licensee’s election and subject to Licensor’s reasonable
ability to comply with such election) via satellite (at Licensee’s risk of loss if delivery via
satellite is requested less than forty-eight (48) hours in advance of scheduled Broadcast),
electronic delivery of files or any other intangible means of delivery, or on such form of
videotape, disc or other device as reasonably requested by Licensee, formatted and suitable for
Broadcast in the Territory in a digital or other format for each applicable Licensed Media, as
reasonably requested by Licensee and as soon as reasonably available. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, until further notice by Licensee to Licensor, Licensee requests access
to a high definition feed (if available) for any live events. Licensed Content will be deemed
delivered by Licensor when transmitted to the satellite or when delivered or made available
digitally, or if shipped by courier, when actually received.
(b) Delivery of “Clean” Versions. Licensor shall deliver to Licensee “clean” versions
(e.g., removing graphic insertions of, voice-overs promoting and URLs of xxxxxxxxx.xxx and any
other Univision Group owned or operated businesses) of all items of Licensed Content delivered to
Licensee pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that Licensee shall not be required to
remove any product placement, promotions or mentions in the content of any item of Licensed
Content; provided, further, that this Section 8.1(b) shall not apply to (i)
any Library Programs for which Univision Group does not have, at the time of the delivery, such a
“clean” version (“Special Library Programs”); and (ii) live Programs and other Programs
Broadcast simultaneously by Univision Group and Licensee (in the case of (ii), to the extent that
production and delivery of such a “clean” version to Licensee would not be reasonably practicable,
or would require Univision Group to incur incremental costs). Licensor shall inform Licensee,
prior to delivery of any item of Licensed Content requested by Licensee, if such item of Licensed
Content falls under clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 8.1(b) such that Licensor will not
deliver to Licensee a “clean” version of such Licensed Content. Licensee shall be permitted to
produce at its own expense “clean” versions of any such Licensed Content; provided, that
the production of “clean” versions of such Licensed Content for Broadcast in Licensed Media by
means of digital distribution shall be subject to Licensor’s approval (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed). For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason Licensor fails to
deliver a “clean” version of any Licensed Content other than Special Library Programs or live
Programs described above, Licensee shall have the right to produce such a “clean” version, and
Licensor shall pay (and promptly reimburse Licensee) for any costs in connection therewith upon
provision by Licensee of appropriate documentation evidencing such costs. Licensor’s obligation to
deliver “clean” versions under this Section 8.1(b) will not apply to Univision Publications
Content, to which the provisions of Section 1.3(b)(i)(A) will apply.
32
8.2 Inspection of Delivered Programs. Licensee agrees that as soon as practicable
following receipt of delivery of any Licensed Content through any medium, it will examine such
delivery to determine whether it is physically suitable for Broadcast on all applicable Licensed
Media and, if applicable, will notify Licensor immediately upon detecting any defect rendering such
delivery unsuitable for such Broadcast. In such cases, Licensor shall promptly re-deliver such
Licensed Content at its own expense through any medium (at Licensee’s reasonable election).
8.3 Destruction or Erasure of Delivered Programs. Licensee agrees to destroy any
video tape, disc or
other physical device and/or erase any electronic files embodying Licensed Content (and
deliver to Licensor a certificate of destruction and/or erasure in connection therewith), in each
case, as soon as practicable following the end of the Term (or as reasonably requested by Licensor
in writing in connection with a withdrawal pursuant to Section 8.10). Licensee shall pay
all costs of destroying such videotapes, discs or other physical devices or erasing such electronic
files.
8.4 Ownership; Risk of Loss. Any videotapes, discs or other physical devices or
intangible media (including electronic files) embodying Licensed Content shall at all times remain
the property of Univision Group, subject to Licensee’s rights as herein provided. The risk of
loss, damage, destruction or disappearance of any physical device, if any, shall be borne by
Licensee from the time of delivery to Licensee. As to any video tape, disc or other physical
device or part thereof lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged after delivery to Licensee, Licensee
shall pay Licensor the cost of replacement thereof, which payment shall be limited to the cost of
replacing the raw video tape, disc or other physical device.
8.5 Restrictions on Duplication. Except as provided herein, Licensee will not, and
will not authorize others to copy or duplicate any Licensed Content unless necessary for the
Broadcast by Licensee and any permitted third parties contemplated hereby (or the promotion of such
Broadcasts). Licensee shall cause any permitted third party in possession of any duplicate or copy
(whether in tangible form (e.g., discs, tapes) or intangible form (e.g., digital media files)) of
any part of the Licensed Content (including trailers) to return such duplicate or copy at, or at a
reasonable time prior to, the end of the Term (or as reasonably requested by Licensor in writing in
connection with a withdrawal pursuant to Section 8.10), and Licensee shall destroy or erase
(or cause to be destroyed or erased) such duplicate or copy (whether in tangible form (e.g., discs,
tapes) or intangible form (e.g., digital media files)) of any part of the Licensed Content
(including trailers), in accordance with Section 8.3. Upon receipt of written request from
Licensor, an officer of Licensee shall certify in writing the destruction or erasure of all such
copies.
33
8.6 Name and Likeness Rights; Promotions. Licensor will furnish to Licensee glossy
prints and digital copies of still photos, synopses, cast lists and all other promotional material
for the promotion of the Licensed Content, if available. Licensor grants to Licensee, without
additional payment beyond the Telefutura Payment, the right and license to use and
license others
to use (a) Univision Group’s name and logos and the Univision Channel Marks; and (b) unless
Licensee is advised by Licensor that rights of Licensor and its Affiliates are limited (in which
case, to the extent not limited), to use and license others to use the name and likeness of, and
biographical material concerning, each star, featured performer, writer, director and producer in
the Licensed Content and the titles and trademarks of each item of Licensed Content and fictitious
persons and locales therein, for advertising and publicity of the Licensed Content, and any
broadcaster or sponsor thereof, but not for direct endorsement of any product or service; provided,
that any such use by the broadcaster or sponsor thereof will protect the copyrights of Univision
Group and shall not include any fee or royalty payable to Licensee or its Affiliates expressly
and/or primarily for such use. To the extent available to Licensor (or any applicable Affiliate)
after reasonable efforts, Licensor will furnish Licensee with music cue sheets for the Licensed
Content and the information necessary for administration of rights payments. Subject to the
foregoing, and
subject to Licensor’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed),
Licensee shall have the right to produce its own promotional material for or from the Licensed
Content (including audio promotions for or from audio tracks of the Licensed Content). Univision
Group shall permit its proprietary artists (if any) to appear on behalf of or for Licensee for
promotional or programming purposes at mutually agreeable times (which agreement shall not be
unreasonably withheld), at Licensee’s expense, it being agreed that Licensor may not be able to
require an artist to appear, all requests to and contacts with Univision Group’s proprietary
artists shall be made through a representative designated by Licensor (provided that if the
designated representative of Licensee for these purposes has requested in writing to the designated
representative of Licensor for these purposes to be informed as to whether an artist is under
contract with Univision Group and such designated representative of Licensor has not responded to
such designated representative of Licensee within seven days of receipt of such request, Licensee
may try to contact such artist without going through Licensor or its designated representative),
and such designated representative of Licensor shall not be required to approve any appearance
which would interfere in any material respect with Licensor’s operations or productions.
8.7 Credits. Licensee agrees to include in its Broadcasts of Licensed Content all
copyright notices and all credits made part of Licensed Content (including credits for stars,
directors, producers and writers); provided, that Licensee shall have the right to eliminate
identical internal credits when episodes of any Licensed Content air back-to-back on any Linear
Television Channel.
8.8 Editing. In connection with Licensee’s Broadcast of the Licensed Content in the
Licensed Media in the Territory during the Term, Licensee shall have the right to cut and edit such
Licensed Content; provided, that only with respect to the creation of “clean” versions,
such right shall be subject to Licensor’s approval right in Section 8.1(b). For the
avoidance of doubt, to the extent that, as a result of Licensee’s exercising any of its editing
rights hereunder with respect to any Licensed Content, such edited Licensed Content constitutes a
“derivative work” under the United States Copyright Act, such derivative work shall nevertheless
remain the sole property of Licensor (subject to the rights granted to Licensee hereunder).
34
8.9 Product Placement.
(a) Cooperation. Licensor and Licensee intend to cooperate effectively in order to
exploit reasonable opportunities for product placement and integration in Licensed Content to be
Broadcast in the Territory.
(b) Points of Contact. Each of Licensor and Licensee shall appoint a single person to
act as point of contact for such efforts. Such contact persons shall cooperate to make each party
aware of commercial opportunities for product placement or integration in Licensed Content to be
Broadcast in the Territory and, in any event, each such contact person will present such
opportunities (not previously disclosed to the other) at the first Informational Meeting following
such contact person’s learning of such opportunities.
(c) Exchange of Products. The parties will work together so that, to the extent
technologically feasible, Licensee, with prior approval of Licensor (on a good faith basis), may
substitute products of advertisers to whom Licensee has sold product placement in exchange for
products placed by Univision Group in recorded Licensed Content, so long as such substituted
placement does not adversely affect in any way, as determined by Licensor in good faith, the
artistic quality and/or integrity of the Licensed Content. By way of example and not in
limitation, Licensor may determine not to approve such substitutions in the relevant recorded
Licensed Content if any person or entity, including any director, producer or actor in or of such
recorded Licensed Content, in his, her or its sole and absolute discretion does not want the
substitution, or if Licensor believes that proposing such substitution would harm its relationship
with such director, producer or actor. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall not substitute
products in Licensed Content initially Broadcast simultaneously, by Univision Group and Licensee;
provided, that the contact persons will cooperate in order to pre-record segments that may
be inserted by Licensee in the time segments designated by Licensee in such Licensed Content
Broadcast simultaneously. An Affiliate of Licensor which is capable of effecting such substitution
will have the Right of First Negotiation / First Refusal to perform such substitution.
(d) Licensee Requests. Licensor will consider in good faith requests of Licensee,
made from time to time, to effectuate product placement and/or integration by Licensee’s
advertisers in Licensed Content during their production and/or post-production stage and will use
commercially reasonable efforts to keep Licensee informed of commercial opportunities during such
stage. While Licensor shall have no obligation to effectuate such product placement and/or
integration, Licensor shall make the determination as to whether to comply with such requests in
good faith. By way of example and not in limitation, Licensor may determine not to comply with
such requests if any person or entity participating during the production and/or post-production of
the Licensed Content in question, including any director, producer or actor in or of such Licensed
Content, in his, her, or its sole and absolute discretion does not want the product placement
and/or integration, or if Licensor believes that proposing the product placement and/or integration
would harm its relationship with such director, producer or actor.
(e) Costs. In the event that Licensor or its Affiliates effectuate product placement
and/or integration during production or post-production of any Licensed Content by Licensee’s
advertisers or otherwise at Licensee’s written request, Licensee will pay the costs for such
placement and/or integration (which such costs will need to be agreed between Licensee and Licensor
prior to effectuation of the product placement and/or integration) upon provision by Licensor of
appropriate documentation evidencing such costs.
35
(f) Notification of Refusal. Within five (5) Business Days of any determination by
Licensor that it will not include product placement requested by Licensee, Licensor will inform
Licensee of such determination and the reasons therefor.
(g) Licensor Policies. All product placement and integration requests shall be
subject to the policies and rules of Univision Group’s sales department from time to time in effect
that Licensor has prior to such time provided to Licensee; provided, that such policies and
rules shall not limit, expand or otherwise modify Licensor’s obligations with respect to such
requests as set forth under this Section 8.9.
8.10 Licensor Withdrawal of Programs. Subject to Section 12.1 and Licensee’s
remedies for a breach thereof, Licensor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withdraw any
Licensed Content and terminate any license with respect to such Licensed Content if Licensor
reasonably determines that the Broadcast thereof is likely to: (a) infringe the rights of third
parties; (b) violate any Law; or (c) otherwise subject Licensor to any material liability. In the
event of any such withdrawal or termination, Licensor shall give Licensee as much notice as
reasonably practicable, and the parties shall have no obligations to each other with regard to
Licensed Content not produced, subject to Section 12.1 and Licensee’s remedies for a breach
thereof.
8.11 Digitization; Technological Enhancements.
(a) Requests. With respect to any particular item of Licensed Content (and without
limiting Licensee’s rights and obligations under Section 8.11(d) with respect to HD
up-conversion and/or down-conversion), Licensee may request from Licensor reasonable information
regarding whether such item of Licensed Content has been subject to digital conversion or
Technological Enhancements, and Licensor shall promptly respond to such requests (including by
providing Licensee with a brief description of such digital conversion or Technological
Enhancements and any applicable technical specifications therefor); provided, that no
inadvertent failure by Licensor to comply with the foregoing shall constitute a breach of this
Agreement.
(b) Televisa Digitization and Technological Enhancements. If Licensee has requested
delivery of Licensed Content in a digital or other format in accordance with Section 8.1(a)
but Univision Group does not then have such digital or other format of such Licensed Content,
Licensee may request, by delivery of a Technology Services Request to Licensor, the conversion or
Technological Enhancement of such Licensed Content to such digital or other format. If Licensor
reasonably determines that such conversion or Technological Enhancement would not interfere with
its digitization efforts or other businesses, then Licensor shall, at the sole cost and expense of
Licensee, undertake such process in accordance with Licensee’s requested Technical Specifications
and a schedule mutually agreed between Licensor and Licensee (which schedule shall include a
reasonable “cushion” period for unforeseen delays and contingencies); provided,
however, that Licensor shall not have any obligation to undertake any such process until
Licensor has prepared and delivered to Licensee a Technology Services Budget for such process, and
Licensee has agreed to such budget. In the event that Licensor or an Affiliate thereof does
undertake any such conversion or Technological Enhancement, Licensee will pay the costs and
expenses for such conversion or Technological Enhancement (in accordance with the agreed Technology
Services Budget) upon provision by Licensor or an Affiliate thereof of appropriate documentation
evidencing such costs and expenses.
36
(c) Licensee Digitization and Technological Enhancements. If, following Licensee’s
delivery of a Technology Services Request with respect to any requested Technological Enhancement,
Licensor is unwilling or unable to undertake the requested process for any reason, then, so long as
such Licensed Content has already been converted into, or was created in, a digital format, and
subject to Licensor’s approval over the Technical Specifications,
Licensee shall be permitted to undertake or procure such Technological Enhancement at its own
cost and expense.
(d) High Definition (HD) Conversion. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section 8.11, the following terms and conditions shall apply to HD conversion: Licensee
shall inform Licensor when it intends to undertake up-conversion of Licensed Content to HD or
down-conversion of Licensed Content from HD, and will specify the HD format and up-conversion
and/or down-conversion methods and standards that it intends to use. In the event Licensee uses as
a basis for converting programs to HD format the standards determined, from time to time, by the
National Television System Committee or Advanced Television System Committee (or one of their
successors), Licensee shall not require approval from Licensor for the up-conversion or
down-conversion described in this paragraph; otherwise, Licensee shall require approval from
Licensor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Once format(s) and conversion
method(s) have been established by the procedure set forth in the immediately preceding sentence,
Licensee may continue to use such format(s) and conversion method(s) to up-convert or down-convert
Licensed Content without Licensor’s consent.
8.12 Ancillary Content.
(a) Ancillary Content Requests. With respect to any particular item of Licensed
Content, Licensee may request from Licensor reasonable information regarding what Ancillary Content
is currently (or anticipated by Licensor to be) available for Broadcast by Licensee in the
Territory in connection with such Licensed Content, and Licensor shall promptly respond to such
requests (including by providing Licensee with a brief description of any such Ancillary Content
and any applicable content specifications (e.g., duration, resolution, etc.) with respect thereto);
provided, that no inadvertent failure by Licensor to comply with the foregoing shall
constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(b) Delivery of Ancillary Content. In connection with the delivery of Licensed
Content to Licensee, Licensor shall deliver to Licensee any available, existing Ancillary Content
with respect to such Licensed Content to the extent requested by Licensee.
37
(c) Ancillary Content Production Requests. From time to time, Licensee may deliver a
notice to Licensor requesting the production of Spanish language Ancillary Content relating to an
item of Licensed Content for use by Licensee, so long as Univision Group has not
already created
such material or similar material. Any such notice shall specify the desired type and content of
the material (including the applicable content specifications (e.g., duration, resolution, etc.)
with respect thereto) and the desired schedule for production thereof in detail reasonably specific
and sufficient to permit Licensor to evaluate the request. Licensor shall consider in good faith
each such request; provided, that Licensor shall have no obligation to consider requests
submitted by Licensee after the Information Tail Date. In the event that Licensor in its sole
discretion elects to undertake any such production, it shall do so in accordance with the
specifications requested by Licensee and a schedule mutually agreed between Licensor and Licensee
(which schedule shall include a reasonable “cushion” period for unforeseen delays and
contingencies); provided, that Licensor shall not undertake such production until Licensor
has prepared and delivered to Licensee an Ancillary Content Budget for such production, and
Licensee has agreed to such budget. Licensee will pay the costs and
expenses for such production (in accordance with the agreed Ancillary Content Budget) upon
provision by Licensor of appropriate documentation evidencing such costs.
(d) Inclusion in License. For the avoidance of doubt, any Ancillary Content produced
by Licensor with respect to any Licensed Content (including any audiovisual material produced
pursuant to this Section 8.12) shall be included in the Licensed Content (and shall be
licensed to Licensee hereunder).
8.13 Digital Distribution Clearances.
(a) Responsibility for Obtaining and Paying for Digital Distribution Clearances. As
between Licensee and Licensor, Licensee shall pay all costs associated with obtaining Clearances in
connection with Licensee’s Broadcast of Licensed Content in Licensed Media by means of digital
distribution throughout the Territory during the Term.
(b) Clearances for Digital Distribution. Subject to Section 8.13(a), Licensor
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (by the availability date for each item of
Licensed Content under Section 7.1), all Clearances necessary for the exercise of the
Licensed Rights by means of digital distribution by Licensee in the Licensed Media during the Term
in the Territory of each such item of Licensed Content. As more fully described in Sections
7.2(a) and 7.2(b), each Availability Notice and Library Availability Notice shall
specify any applicable Clearances that have not been obtained with respect to the Licensed Content
set forth therein, notwithstanding such efforts. Licensee may from time to time (but no more
frequently than monthly) request in writing that Licensor or an Affiliate thereof obtain any
Clearances necessary for the exercise of the Licensed Rights by means of digital distribution in
the Licensed Media by Licensee during the Term in the Territory of one or more items of Licensed
Content, which request shall include Licensee’s reasonably desired Broadcast schedule and the
applicable Licensed Media for which Clearances are required with respect to such items of Licensed
Content. Upon receipt of such request, and subject to Section 8.13(a), Licensor shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requested Clearances in a timely fashion so as to
permit Licensee to Broadcast such Licensed Content in the applicable Licensed Media in accordance
with the desired Broadcast schedule. Licensor shall notify Licensee of the costs of any such
requested Clearances, and Licensee shall pay such costs directly, and Licensor’s obligation to
obtain such Clearances is expressly subject to Licensee’s payment of such costs. Licensor shall
not have the ability to commit Grupo Televisa to any of the costs with respect to any item of
Licensed Content referenced in Section 8.13(a), unless (i) Licensee gives prior approval;
or (ii) Grupo Televisa (or any permitted sublicensee) Broadcasts such item of Licensed Content.
38
9. Payments.
9.1 Telefutura Rights Payment. For each calendar year during the period beginning on
the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2025, and in consideration of the license by Licensor
to Licensee of Licensed Rights to Licensed Content that is produced for or Broadcast in the United
States by Licensor on the Telefutura Network, Licensee shall pay to Licensor (or such affiliate of
Licensor in Mexico
as Licensor may designate in writing (any payment to such affiliate of Licensor. an
“Affiliate Payment”)) seventeen million two hundred eighty four thousand three hundred
seventy five dollars ($17,284,375) in twelve equal installments of one million four hundred forty
thousand three hundred sixty four dollars and fifty eight cents ($1,440,364.58), and each such
payment obligation shall be absolute and unconditional (the “Telefutura Payment”).
Licensee shall make such monthly payment no later than the fifth (5th) day of each month in respect
of the immediately preceding month (with the first such payment due no later than February 14,
2011). All payments made pursuant to this section shall be in cash in U.S. currency. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Licensed Rights other than to Licensed Content that is produced for or
Broadcast in the United States by Licensor on the Telefutura Network are granted hereunder on a
royalty free basis.
9.2 Taxes. Licensee shall pay and shall be responsible for any and all sums payable
on account of sales, use or other similar taxes arising out of or relating to the licensing or
Broadcast by Licensee of the Licensed Content, or any other exploitation of the Licensed Rights by
Licensee, and any personal property or other tax assessed or levied by any governmental unit
arising out of or relating to the storage or possession of the Licensed Rights or Licensed Content
by Licensee.
9.3 Withholding.
(a) Licensee may deduct and withhold from any payment to or for the account of Licensor
pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as it reasonably determines it is required to withhold
with respect to such payment under applicable tax laws, and shall promptly remit such amounts to
the appropriate taxing authority. Within thirty (30) days of any such remittance, Licensee shall
furnish to Licensor the original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment, or other
evidence of payment reasonably requested by Licensor.
(b) Licensor shall deliver to Licensee a duly completed IRS Form 6166 (or successor form)
establishing Licensor’s U.S. tax residence and shall update such forms as required by Law or as
reasonably requested by Licensee. For so long as Licensor has complied with its obligation
pursuant to the preceding sentence, any withholding required to be made by Licensee shall be made
at a rate not exceeding the rate required by applicable law, giving effect to the IRS Form 6166 (or
successor form) delivered by Licensor to Licensee.
39
(c) In the event Licensee is required to deduct and withhold from any payment to or for the
ac-count of Licensor pursuant to this Agreement tax at a rate in excess of the rate at which
Licensee would have been required to deduct and withhold tax from any payment to or for the account
of Licensor pursuant to this Agreement if Licensee were a corporation tax resident in Mexico (such
rate, the “Mexican Rate”), the economic burden of any such excess tax shall, as between
Licensor and Licensee, be borne solely by Licensee and any payments by Licensee pursuant to this
Agreement shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Licensor the amounts Licensor
would have received if any deduction or withholding had been made at the Mexican Rate. In the
event Licensor obtains a refund or credit of any tax as to which Licensee has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 9.3(c), it shall pay over such refund or credit to the
Licensee, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
(d) To the extent Licensee is required to deduct and withhold from any payment pursuant to
this Agreement that is an Affiliate Payment tax at a rate in excess of the rate at which Licensee
would have been required to deduct and withhold tax if such payment had been made directly to
Licensor by an affiliate of Licensee that is a corporation tax resident in Mexico, the economic
burden of any such excess tax shall, as between Licensor and Licensee, be borne solely by Licensor
and Licensee (i) may deduct and withhold from any such Affiliate Payment such amounts as it
reasonably determines it is required to withhold with respect to such payment under applicable tax
laws and shall promptly remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authority and (ii) shall have
no obligation to pay any gross-up with respect to such Affiliate Payment.
(e) Licensee shall cooperate in any reasonable manner requested by Licensor to minimize
Licensor’s withholding tax liability.
9.4 No Interest. No interest shall accrue on any Telefutura Payment, whether or not
past due.
10. [Intentionally Omitted]
11. Advertising Time.
11.1 Univision Group Right to Purchase Advertising. Licensor and its Affiliates shall
be permitted to purchase advertising time on the Televisa Channels, which cannot be preempted by
Licensee or its Affiliates, which time shall be sold for the lowest spot rate then being offered
for a non-preemptable spot in the program during which such time is sold.
11.2 Quality Standards. All material provided for Broadcast by Licensor and its
Affiliates shall comply with the quality standards for unaffiliated advertisers established by
Licensee from time to time. A copy of such standards will be provided to Licensor at least one
week prior to Licensor’s material becoming subject thereto. The then-current standards may not be
changed in such a way as to intentionally and adversely impact the use by Licensor and its
Affiliates of advertising time under this Section 11.
40
11.3 Use of Advertising for Univision Group Third Party Promotion. Licensor may not
directly or indirectly make the advertising made available under this Section 11 available
to persons other than its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in connection with
Licensor and its Affiliates’ purchase of advertising under this Section 11, Licensor and
its Affiliates may include in any of their commercial advertisements incidental
references to, or
images of, a third party that relate to the primary subject matter of such Licensor (or its
Affiliate’s) advertisement (e.g., a Univision Group hard good “available at Wal-Mart” or a
Univision Group payment card affiliated with Mastercard) (“Tie-Ins”) (a) with a duration
not in excess of the customary industry practice (it being understood that the customary industry
practice as of the date hereof is approximately five (5) seconds in any commercial); (b) if the
reference is graphical, of a size substantially consistent with customary industry practice; and
(c) with respect to which Licensor and its Affiliates do not receive any revenues, directly or
indirectly, from the third party in exchange for the Tie-In.
12. Representations and Warranties.
12.1 Licensor Representations and Warranties. Licensor hereby agrees, represents and
warrants for the duration of the Term as follows:
(a) Capacity. Licensor is free to enter into and fully perform this Agreement;
(b) Licensed Rights. Licensor has or will have the right to grant to Licensee the
Licensed Rights to the Licensed Content in the Territory set forth in this Agreement, including the
necessary literary, artistic, technological and intellectual property rights;
(c) Clearances. Subject only to Section 8.13 with respect to the digital distribution
of the Licensed Content, Licensor has secured or will secure all necessary Clearances (subject to
the provisos in Section 12.1(e)), for the exercise of the Licensed Rights to the Licensed
Content in the Territory set forth in this Agreement;
(d) No Encumbrances. There are no and will not be any pending liens, charges,
restrictions or encumbrances on the Licensed Content that conflict with the Licensed Rights, other
than (a) pledges to support bona fide indebtedness of Licensor or its Affiliates to a third party;
and/or (b) pledges to one or more of the investors or investor groups in BMPI to support bona fide
indebtedness of Licensee or any Affiliate to any such investor or investor group;
(e) [Intentionally Omitted]
(f) Credit Obligations. The main and end titles of the Licensed Content and all
publicity, promotion, advertising and packaging information and materials supplied by Licensor will
contain all necessary and proper credits for the actors, directors, writers and all other persons
appearing in or connected with the production of such Licensed Content who are entitled to receive
credit and comply with all applicable contractual, guild, union and statutory requirements and
agreements;
(g) Intellectual Property. Subject only to any Clearance limitations relating to the
digital distribution of the Licensed Content of which Licensor has notified Licensee in writing as
required pursuant to Section 8.13, the exercise of the Licensed Rights to the Licensed
Content in the Territory will not infringe on any rights of any third party, including copyright,
patent, trademark, unfair competition, contract, property, defamation, privacy, publicity or “moral
rights” (to the extent such moral rights are recognized by U.S. Law); and
41
(h) Exclusivity. Except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement,
Univision Group has not and will not grant or license to others, and will not itself exercise, any
rights to Broadcast any Licensed Content in any Licensed Media during the Term in the Territory,
including by way of any Broadcast over the Radio of any audio portion of any Novela
in the Territory (other than spill-over from Univision Group’s border Radio stations in the
United States).
12.2 Licensee Representation and Warranty. Licensee hereby agrees, warrants and
represents for the duration of the Term that Licensee is free to enter into and fully perform this
Agreement.
12.3 Insurance. Licensor further agrees that, while it has no obligation to do so, if
Univision Group secures a producer’s (Errors and Omissions) liability policy covering the Licensed
Content, or any part thereof, it will cause Licensee and its Affiliates to be named as additional
insureds on such policy and will cause a certificate of insurance to be promptly furnished to
Licensee, provided, however, that the inclusion of Licensee and its Affiliates as
additional insureds does not result in any additional cost or expense to Univision Group. Licensor
will notify Licensee when such insurance is obtained and, after obtained, if cancelled. Any such
insurance as to which Licensee and its Affiliates are additional insureds shall be primary as to
Licensee and its Affiliates and not in excess of or contributory to any other insurance provided
for the benefit of or by Licensee and its Affiliates.
13. Indemnification.
13.1 Licensor Indemnification. Licensor agrees to indemnify Licensee, its Affiliates
(other than Univision Group), subsidiaries, partners, the partners of any partnership that is a
partner of Licensee, its direct and indirect shareholders and all officers, directors, employees
and agents of any of the foregoing (collectively the “Licensee Indemnitees”) against and
hold the Licensee Indemnitees harmless from (subject to Section 15.8) any and all claims,
deficiencies, assessments, liabilities, losses, damages, expenses (including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or suffered by any Licensee
Indemnitee arising out of, relating to, or by reason of, Univision Group’s breach of, or
non-compliance with, any covenant, agreement or provision herein contained or the inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty made by Licensor. Such Losses shall be reduced by: (a) the amount of
any net tax benefit ultimately accruing to Licensee on account of Licensee’s payment of such claim;
(b) insurance proceeds which such Licensee Indemnitee has or will receive in connection with such
Losses; and (c) any recovery from third parties in connection with such Losses; provided,
however, that Licensor shall not delay payment of its indemnification obligations hereunder
pending resolution of any tax benefit or insurance or third party claim if the Licensee Indemnitee
provides Licensor with an undertaking to reimburse Licensor for the amount of any such benefit or
claim ultimately received; and provided, further, that the Licensee Indemnitee
shall have no obligation to obtain any such insurance proceeds or recovery from third parties if
and to the extent Licensor is subrogated (in form and substance satisfactory to Licensor) to such
Licensee Indemnitee’s claims in respect of such insurance or third parties.
42
13.2 Licensee Indemnification. Licensee agrees to indemnify Licensor, its Affiliates,
subsidiaries, partners, the partners of any partnership that is a partner of Licensee, its direct
and indirect shareholders (other than Licensee and its Affiliates) and all officers, directors,
employees and agents of any of the foregoing (the “Licensor Indemnitees”) against and hold
the Licensor Indemnitees harmless from
(subject to Section 15.8) any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Licensor Indemnitee
arising out of, relating to, or by reason of, (a) Grupo Televisa’s or its permitted sublicensees’
breach of, or non-compliance with, any covenant, agreement or provision herein contained or the
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Licensee); or (b) any program or commercial
material (apart from the Licensed Content) furnished by Licensee. Such Losses shall be reduced by:
(i) the amount of any net tax benefit ultimately accruing to Univision Group on account of
Univision Group’s payment of such claim; (ii) insurance proceeds which Univision Group has or will
receive in connection with such Losses; and (iii) any recovery from third parties in connection
with such Losses; provided, however, that Licensee shall not delay payment of its
indemnification obligations hereunder pending resolution of any tax benefit or insurance or third
party claim if the Licensor Indemnitee provides Licensee with an undertaking to reimburse Licensee
for the amount of any such claim ultimately received; and provided, further, that
the Licensor Indemnitee shall have no obligation to obtain any such insurance proceeds or recovery
from third parties if and to the extent Licensee is subrogated (in form and substance satisfactory
to Licensee) to such Licensor Indemnitee’s claims in respect of such insurance or third parties.
13.3 Indemnification Procedures. The following procedures shall govern all claims for
indemnification made under any provision of this Agreement. A written notice (an
“Indemnification Notice”) with respect to any claim for indemnification shall be given by
the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) to the party from which
indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) within thirty (30) days of the discovery by
the Indemnitee of such claim, which Indemnification Notice shall set forth the facts relating to
such claim then known to the Indemnitee (provided that failure to give such Indemnification
Notice as aforesaid shall not release the Indemnitor from its indemnification obligations hereunder
unless and to the extent the Indemnitor has been prejudiced thereby). The party receiving an
Indemnification Notice shall send a written response to the party seeking indemnification stating
whether it agrees with or rejects such claim in whole or in part. Failure to give such response
within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice shall be conclusively deemed to
constitute acknowledgment of validity of such claim. If any such claim shall arise by reason of
any claim made by third parties, the Indemnitor shall have the right, upon written notice to
Indemnitee within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice, to assume the
defense of the matter giving rise to the claim for indemnification through counsel of its selection
reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, at Indemnitor’s expense, and the Indemnitee shall have the
right, at its own expense, to employ counsel to represent it; provided, however,
that if any action shall include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee and there is a conflict of
interest because of the availability of different or additional defenses to the Indemnitee, the
Indemnitee shall have the right to select one separate counsel to participate in the defense of
such action on its behalf, at the Indemnitor’s expense. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully to
make available to the Indemnitor all pertinent information under the Indemnitee’s control as to the
claim and shall make appropriate personnel available for any discovery, trial or appeal. If the
Indemnitor does not elect to undertake the defense as set forth above, the Indemnitee shall have
the right to assume the defense of such matter on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnitor;
provided, however, the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any claim without
the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitor
may settle any claim at any time at its expense, so long as such settlement includes as an
unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant of a release of the Indemnitee from all liability with
respect to such claim.
43
14. Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective
Date and continue through and include the date that is the last date of the “Term” of the Amended
and Restated 2011 Program License Agreement (as such “Term” is defined in the Amended and Restated
2011 Program License Agreement, and as it may be accelerated, terminated or extended in accordance
with the terms and conditions therein). This Agreement may be terminated by either party only
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions set forth in Section 15; or
in the event that the other party asserts Force Majeure under Section 20.2 as a relief from
substantially all of its obligations hereunder for a period in excess of one (1) year.
15. Dispute Resolution; Remedies. Each of Licensor and Licensee intends to use its good
faith efforts to establish a constructive working relationship which will continue throughout the
Term. In order to facilitate maintenance of that relationship, each desires to set forth remedy
provisions by which any disagreements can be resolved.

(a) [Intentionally Omitted]

46
15.3 Cure Rights; Determination of Material Breaches Leading to Right to Terminate; No
Right of Appeal.
(a) Opportunity to Cure. In the case of a breach with respect to payment of the
Telefutura Payment, the breaching party shall have sixty (60) days after notice of non-payment to
cure such breach by making full payment without interest of any kind or amount.
(b) Repeated Failures. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof,
repeated failure to make payment when required, even if subsequently cured, may be a basis for a
proceeding before the Umpire or private judge and, if determined by the Umpire or private judge to
have been cumulatively material and evincing an intent to avoid, or reckless disregard for,
compliance with such obligation, shall be determined by the Umpire or private judge to constitute a
material breach giving rise to a right of termination in the non-breaching party. In the event of
any such breach, the party asserting the breach shall advise the other party in writing of such
claimed breach reasonably promptly after discovering such breach.
(c) Materiality Threshold. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in
any proceeding for breach of this Agreement—or, following the eighteen (18) month anniversary of
the date hereof, the International Program Rights Agreement (as amended by the IPRA Amendment), the
Sales Agency Agreement or the Amended and Restated 2011 Program License Agreement (it being
understood that any breach of the International Program Rights Agreement (as amended by the IPRA
Amendment), the Sales Agency Agreement or the Amended and Restated 2011 Program License Agreement
prior to the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the date hereof shall in no event be deemed to be
material or give rise to a right of termination by the non-breaching party)—whether with respect
to payment of the Telefutura Payment or otherwise, a finding of breach by the Umpire or private
judge shall not be deemed material and shall not give rise to a right of termination by the
non-breaching party unless: (i) in the case of a breach with respect to payment of the Telefutura
Payment, the party against whom the determination of breach has been made by the private judge
fails to pay the amount awarded by the Umpire or private judge within ten (10) Business Days of the
decision by the Umpire or private judge; or (ii) in the case of a breach other than with respect to
payment of the Telefutura Payment, the party against whom relief (preliminary or final) has been
ordered or adjudged by the private judge or Umpire fails to comply with such order or judgment; or
(iii) the party determined to be guilty of breach by the private judge or Umpire has twice
previously been determined to be guilty of a breach (whether with respect to payment of the
Telefutura Payment or otherwise) by the private judge or Umpire, such second breach having occurred
subsequent to the determination by the private judge or Umpire of initial breach and such third
breach having occurred subsequent to the determination by the private judge or Umpire of second
breach, and each such breach is determined by the private judge to either (A) in the case of
breaches with respect to payment of the Telefutura Payment, be a breach or a series of breaches
committed within the same fiscal year which individually or in the aggregate are for amounts equal
to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the Telefutura Payment due for the fiscal year immediately
preceding the fiscal year in which the claimed breach or breaches occur, or if the series of
breaches was not committed within the same fiscal year, which in the aggregate are for amounts
equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate of the Telefutura Payment due for each
fiscal year immediately preceding each of the fiscal years in which such claimed breaches
occur, or (B) in the case of all other determined breaches, evince an intent to avoid, or
reckless disregard for, compliance with the obligations that are the basis of the breach; or (iv)
pursuant to Section 15.3(b). For the avoidance of doubt, any determination by the Umpire
shall be conclusive as to whether there was a breach, and only the issue of whether the breach or
breaches evince an intent to avoid or reckless disregard for compliance with the obligations that
are the basis of the breach shall be determined by the private judge.
47
(d) Right to Terminate Following Material Breach.
(i) Telefutura Payment Breaches. If a determination has been made that any breaches
with respect to payment of the Telefutura Payment are individually or cumulatively material
consistent with the foregoing, then Licensor shall have the right to elect to terminate this
Agreement only as to the license of Licensed Rights to Licensed Content that is produced for or
Broadcast in the United States by Licensor on the Telefutura Network, which election shall be made
not later than sixty (60) days after the determination of the existence of such material breach.
Such termination shall occur sixty (60) days after written notice of such election to terminate.
(ii) Other Breaches. If a determination has been made that any breaches other than
with respect to payment of the Telefutura Payment are individually or cumulatively material
consistent with the foregoing, then the non-breaching party shall have the right to elect to
terminate this Agreement, which election shall be made not later than sixty (60) days after the
determination of the existence of such material breach. This Agreement shall terminate sixty (60)
days after written notice of such election to terminate.
(e) No Right to Appeal. Decisions of the private judge as to the foregoing shall be
final and the parties waive any right to appeal.
15.4 Satisfaction of Indemnification Obligations Cures Inaccuracy of Licensor
Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the inaccuracy of any of Licensor’s representations and
warranties contained in Section 12 hereof shall not be deemed to be a breach of its
obligations for purposes of Sections 15.3(b) and 15.3(c) to the extent that
Licensor satisfies its indemnification obligations with respect to such inaccuracy.
15.5
Governing Law. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to
contracts between California parties made and performed in that State, without regard to conflict
of laws principles; except that the procedural laws of the State of
New York shall apply to the
Arbitration Procedures (as set forth in
Section 15.1) and the enforcement thereof.
15.6 Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process. Except to the extent provided in
Sections 15.1 and with respect to the provisions of Section 15.2, each of the
parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any California State or United States Federal
court sitting in Los Angeles County in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby, and irrevocably agrees that any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined only
in such California State or Federal court. Each of the parties irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any
such action or proceeding. Each of the parties irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System (the
“Process Agent”), with an office on the date hereof at 000 Xxxx 0xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX, 00000
as his or its agent to receive on
48
behalf of him or it and his or its property service of copies of
the summons and complaint and any other process which
may be served in any such action or
proceeding. Such service may be made by delivering a copy of such process to any of the parties in
care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, and each of the parties irrevocably
authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternate
method of service, each of the parties consents to the service of copies of the summons and
complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding by the mailing
or delivery of a copy of such process to such party at its address specified in or pursuant to
Section 20.5. Each of the parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by Law.
15.7 Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly
agreed that the parties may be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this
Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to
any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
15.8 Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, no party hereto shall be liable to any other party under this Agreement for any special,
consequential, punitive or exemplary damages (including lost or anticipated revenues or profits
relating to the same) arising from any claim under this Agreement, whether such claim is based on
warranty, contract, tort (including negligence or strict liability) or otherwise; provided,
however, that this limitation shall not preclude Licensee from seeking any such damages if, prior
to a private judge determining pursuant to Section 15.3 that Licensor is entitled to
terminate this Agreement, Licensor (or any of its affiliates) takes any action to intentionally
suspend access to, withdraw, refuse to furnish, or otherwise directly or indirectly make
unavailable Licensed Content; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, no such damages shall be
available if such action on the part of Licensor arises out of a specific dispute (a) as to
Licensor’s withdrawal of a specific item or series of items of Licensed Content pursuant to
Section 8.10, (b) as to Licensor’s cancellation of production of any Licensed Content, or
(c) of a type contemplated by Section 15(a)(i) or 15(a)(viii).
16. First Opportunity Rights.
16.1 Proposed New Businesses.
(a) Notice and Information. If Univision Group intends to enter into a Proposed New
Business during the Term and (i) Grupo Televisa is not in good faith actively pursuing for itself
the Proposed New Business, or (ii) the Proposed New Business is significantly and meaningfully
different from any current business Grupo Televisa is actively pursuing for itself (regardless of
whether such Proposed New Business is in the same genre, field, market or space as any business
Licensee and its controlled Affiliates are currently engaged in, but in no event shall a Proposed
New Business include a Linear Television Channel), Licensor will notify Licensee in writing and, on
a timely basis, provide Licensee with information, if any, that Univision Group has used (as of the
time of such provision) to evaluate the opportunity that is reasonably necessary and appropriate
for Licensee’s consideration of such Proposed New Business (but not information which includes
information regarding other businesses of Univision Group).
49
(b) Licensee Election. Within thirty (30) days of being so notified, Licensee may
notify Licensor that it elects in good faith to participate in the Proposed New Business, in which
case Univision Group and Grupo Televisa may participate in the Proposed New Business such that
Univision Group, on the one hand, and Grupo Televisa, on the other hand, will each have a 50%
economic and voting interest in the Proposed New Business (or such other allocation of economic and
voting interests as agreed by Licensee and Licensor in good faith). Licensee and Licensor will
agree in good faith on the business and financial objectives and business plan and the management
of the Proposed New Business. In such event, the parties shall mutually agree on the appropriate
treatment and allocation of revenues derived or generated from, and costs paid or incurred with
respect to, the Proposed New Business. In the event that Licensee does not notify Licensor within
the 30-day period that it elects to participate in the Proposed New Business, then Univision Group
will be permitted to, within a reasonable time period, enter into the Proposed New Business and any
Audiovisual Content that is related to the Proposed New Business will be “Univision Proposed
New Business Content” (and shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of
“Univision Publications Content”, other than clause (b) of such definition (as such Audiovisual
Content must instead relate to, or complement, the Proposed New Business and not a Univision
Publication)).
(c) No Linear Television Channels. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Univision Group shall not pursue a Proposed New Business
that consists primarily of the ownership and/or operation of a Spanish language Linear Television
Channel in the Territory during the Term.
16.2 Stand Alone Business.
(a) Notice and Information. If Univision Group proposes to acquire (whether by
merger, acquisition of stock or assets, partnership, joint venture or otherwise) a Stand Alone
Business during the Term, Licensor will offer Grupo Televisa, by written notice in a timely manner,
the opportunity to elect, within thirty (30) days (or shorter period if necessary so as not to lose
the opportunity (e.g. if the bid deadline does not permit a thirty (30)-day election period)) of
receipt of such notice, to participate in the acquisition of the Stand Alone Business;
provided, that Licensor will use good faith efforts not to delay notice so as to jeopardize
Licensee’s ability to acquire such Stand Alone Business. Concurrently with the delivery of the
aforementioned notice, Licensor will provide Licensee with information, if any, that Univision
Group has used
(as of the time of such delivery) to evaluate the opportunity that is reasonably necessary and
appropriate for Licensee’s consideration of such Stand Alone Business (but not information which
includes information regarding other businesses of Univision Group), subject to any legal or third
party contractual confidentiality restriction.
50
(b) Licensee Election. In the event that Grupo Televisa accepts the opportunity to
participate in the Stand Alone Business, then Univision Group may acquire fifty percent (50%) of
the Stand Alone Business with Grupo Televisa acquiring fifty percent (50%) (or such other
allocation of ownership as agreed by Licensee and Licensor in good faith), and Licensee and
Licensor will agree in good faith on the business and financial objectives and business plan and
the management of the Stand Alone Business. In such event, the parties shall mutually agree on the
appropriate treatment and allocation of revenues derived or generated from, and costs paid or
incurred with respect to, the Stand Alone Business. If Grupo Televisa does not accept the
opportunity to participate in the acquisition of the Stand Alone Business within thirty (30) days
(or shorter period if necessary so as not to lose the opportunity (e.g. if the bid deadline does
not permit a thirty (30)-day period)) of Univision Group’s offer, or does not participate in such
opportunity to acquire fifty percent (50%) of such Stand Alone Business, Univision Group may,
within a reasonable period of time, seek to acquire and acquire the Stand Alone Business and any
Audiovisual Content that is related to the Stand Alone Business will be “Univision Stand Alone
Business Content”.
(c) No Univision Linear Television Channels. It is understood and agreed that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Univision Group shall not pursue a Stand
Alone Business that consists primarily of the ownership and/or operation of a Spanish language
Linear Television Channel in the Territory during the Term.
16.3 Carve Out Business.
(a) Notice and Information. If Univision Group proposes to acquire (whether by
merger, acquisition of stock or assets, partnership, joint venture or otherwise) a Carve Out
Business during the Term, Univision Group may undertake and consummate an acquisition of the larger
business of which the Carve Out Business is a part at any time. However, without restricting or
impeding the ability of Univision Group to undertake and consummate such acquisition, Licensor will
use its commercially reasonable efforts to offer (including after Univision Group has completed the
acquisition of the larger business) Licensee and its controlled Affiliates, by written notice in a
timely manner, the opportunity to elect, within sixty (60) days of receipt of such notice, to seek
to participate in the Carve Out Business. Concurrently with the delivery of the aforementioned
notice, Licensor will provide Licensee with information that Univision Group has used (as of the
time of such delivery) to evaluate the opportunity that is reasonably necessary and appropriate for
Licensee’s consideration of such Carve Out Business (but not information which includes information
regarding other businesses of Univision Group), subject to any legal or third party contractual
confidentiality restrictions.
(b) Licensee Election. In the event that Licensee or one of its controlled Affiliates
accepts the opportunity to participate in the Carve Out Business, then Univision Group may acquire
or retain fifty percent (50%) of the Carve Out Business with Grupo Televisa acquiring fifty percent
(50%) (or such other allocation of ownership as agreed by Licensee and
Licensor in good faith) and Licensee and Licensor will agree in good faith on the business and
financial objectives and business plan and the management of the Carve Out Business. In such
event, the parties shall mutually agree on the appropriate treatment and allocation of revenues
derived or generated from, and costs paid or incurred with respect to, the Carve Out Business. In
no event shall this Section 16.3(b) restrict or impede the ability of Univision Group to
undertake and consummate an acquisition of the larger business. If Licensee does not accept the
opportunity to participate in the acquisition of the Carve Out Business within the sixty (60) day
period, or does not participate in such opportunity to acquire fifty percent (50%) of such Carve
Out Business, Univision Group may acquire or retain the Carve Out Business, as part of the larger
acquisition, and any Audiovisual Content that is related to the Carve Out Business will be
“Univision Carve Out Business Content”.
51
(c) Linear Television Channels. Notwithstanding anything contained in Sections
16.3(a), and (b), if the Carve Out Business in question consists of the ownership
and/or operation of a Spanish language Linear Television Channel, the following shall apply:
(i) Free Television Channel. If, as part of such larger acquisition, Univision Group acquires
a Spanish language Free Television channel in the Territory, Licensor shall offer to Licensee the
right to participate in the Free Television channel as a Carve Out Business (pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Section 16.3); provided, that if Licensee does not
participate in such Spanish language Free Television channel, for any reason, Univision Group
shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, entirely divest itself of any interest in such
Spanish language Free Television channel.
(ii) Channel Other Than Free Television Channel. If, as part of such larger acquisition,
Univision Group acquires any Spanish language Linear Television Channel other than a Free
Television channel, Licensor shall offer to Licensee the right to participate in such Spanish
language Linear Television Channel as a Carve Out Business (pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Section 16.3).
17. Transfer of Program Rights. Licensee may not transfer to any third party any rights
whatsoever with respect to Licensed Content or any other Audiovisual Content of Univision Group to
which Licensee has been licensed rights hereunder, in connection with the transfer of any Spanish
Language Platform or other platform or assets of Licensee or its Affiliates (other than in
connection with any transactions contemplated under Section 20.6 or a Sublicensing
Arrangement permitted under Section 4 of this Agreement).
18. [Intentionally Omitted]
19. Monetization of Territory Audiences. Licensor will not, directly or indirectly, base
or determine the price of any advertising time or space, product placements or sponsorships in any
Licensed Media on the ability of viewers in the Territory to receive Licensed Content (but
expressly excluding Excluded Content and Charitable/Religious Content), subject only to the third
sentence of Section 3.7(a)(i)(B).
20. Miscellaneous.
20.1 [Intentionally Omitted]
20.2 Force Majeure. Neither party hereto shall be liable for or suffer any penalty or
termination of rights hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in performing any of its
obligations hereunder if such failure or delay is occasioned by compliance with governmental
regulation or order, or by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the party so failing or
delaying, including acts of God, war, insurrection, fire, flood, accident, strike or other labor
disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation (a “Force Majeure Event”). Each
party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any such event of force majeure, the expected
duration thereof, and its anticipated effect on the party affected and make reasonable efforts to
remedy any such event, except that neither party shall be under any obligation to settle a labor
dispute.
52
20.3 Modification. This Agreement shall not be modified or waived in whole or in part
except in writing signed by an officer of the party to be bound by such modification or waiver.
20.4 Waiver of Breach. A waiver by either party of any breach or default by the other
party shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default whether or not similar and
whether or not occurring before or after the subject breach.
20.5 Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing, shall be deemed duly given upon actual receipt, and shall be delivered (a) in

generally accepted means of electronic transmission, addressed as set forth in Schedule 4

20.6 Assignments. Either of the parties may assign its rights hereunder and delegate
its duties hereunder, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate capable of performing the assignor’s
obligations hereunder, and either of the parties may assign its rights hereunder and delegate its
duties hereunder to any person or entity to which all or substantially all of such party’s
businesses and assets are pledged or transferred (provided that in the case of a pledge,
any such assignment shall be made only as part of a granting of collateral to support bona fide
indebtedness of Licensee or its Affiliates to a third party). No such assignment or delegation
shall relieve any party of its obligations hereunder. Any such assignment or delegation authorized
pursuant to this Section 20.6 shall be pursuant to a written agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any rights, duties or obligations hereunder may be assigned
or delegated by any of the parties, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, by operation of Law
or otherwise; provided, however, that Univision Group may assign, grant a security
interest in or otherwise transfer its rights to payment hereunder in connection with one or more
financings. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this prohibition shall be null
and void. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms and provisions hereof shall be binding upon,
and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing contained herein,
express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties or their respective
successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by
reason of this Agreement.

evidence this Agreement including any required filings with the U.S. Copyright Office.
20.8 Information Sharing. To the extent that either party is required to provide
information to the other party under this Agreement, such party shall (and shall cause its
Affiliates to) use good faith efforts to limit contractual confidentiality restrictions with
respect to agreements entered into after the Effective Date, in order to permit the sharing of
information expressly provided in this Agreement.
53
20.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall be an original instrument and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the
same agreement.
20.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof,
shall for any reason or to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this
Agreement and application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall continue in
full force and effect and in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated; provided, that the
aggregate of all such provisions found to be invalid or unenforceable does not materially affect
the benefits and obligations of the parties of the Agreement taken as a whole.
20.11 Language Rules of Construction. Unless the context otherwise clearly requires:
(a) the term “third party” shall be deemed to mean “unaffiliated third party”; (b) any pronoun

corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms; (c) the term “include,” “includes” and

to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on, or requirements with respect to, such
amendments, supplements or modification set forth herein or therein); (f) any reference herein to
any person, or to any person in a specified capacity, shall be construed to include such person’s
successors and assigns or such person’s successors in such capacity, as the case may be; (g) the
words “herein,” “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole
and not to any particular section, clause or other subdivision; and (h) any of the defined terms
may be used in the singular or the plural, depending on the reference. Licensor and Licensee
acknowledge and agree that references in this Agreement to Licensee’s or GT’s “controlled
Affiliates” or to “Grupo Televisa” are sometimes used for purposes of clarity, and that no such
references (or failure to include such references) shall operate, or be deemed to operate, to limit
or impair the rights afforded to Licensee with respect to GT and its controlled Affiliates under
Section 1.2(a).
20.12 Headings. The subject headings of the sections and sub-sections of this
Agreement are included for purposes of convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or
interpretation of any of its provisions.
20.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with Annex A and the
Schedules hereto, the Amended and Restated 2011 Program License Agreement, the IPRA Amendment and
the Sales Agency Agreement contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement

AMENDED AND RESTATED MLA LICENSOR GUARANTY
For and in consideration of the execution by VIDEOSERPEL, LTD. (“Licensee”) of that
certain Amended and Restated 0000 Xxxxxx License Agreement (the “License Agreement”; terms
not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the License Agreement), between Licensee
and UNIVISION COMMUNICATIONS INC. (“Licensor”), of even date herewith, BROADCASTING MEDIA
PARTNERS, INC. (“Guarantor”) hereby agrees as follows:
1. Guarantor confirms and joins in the representations and warranties made by Licensor in
Section 12.1 of the License Agreement;
2. Guarantor guarantees the full performance by Licensor of all of its obligations under the
License Agreement and further agrees to be bound, and cause its Affiliates to be bound, by
the provisions of the License Agreement applicable to Licensor, Guarantor or the entities
comprising Univision Group, and guarantees the full performance by the entities comprising
Univision Group of all such obligations under the License Agreement.
3. Guarantor irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any California State or United
States Federal court sitting in Los Angeles County in any action or proceeding arising out
of or relating to this Guaranty or the transactions contemplated hereby, and irrevocably
agrees that any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined only in such
California State or Federal court, except with respect to matters subject to
Section
15.1 of the License Agreement, in which case, Guarantor irrevocably submits to binding
arbitration by a single Umpire sitting in
New York. Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Guarantor irrevocably appoints CT Corporation
System (the “
Process Agent”), with an office on the date hereof at 000 Xxxx 0xx
Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000 as its agent to receive on behalf of it and its property
service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in
any such action or proceeding. Such service may be made by delivering a copy of such
process to Guarantor in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, and
Guarantor irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its
behalf. As an alternate method of service, Guarantor consents to the service of copies of
the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such action or
proceeding by the mailing or delivering of a copy of such process to Licensor at its address
specified in or pursuant to
Section 19 of the License Agreement. Guarantor agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
Law.
4. This Guaranty and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts
between California parties made and performed in that State, without regard to conflict of
laws principles; except that the procedural Laws of the State of
New York shall apply to the
Arbitration Procedures (as set forth in
Section 15.1 of the License Agreement).
1
5. Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder (the “Obligations”) are
irrevocable, absolute, independent, unconditional and continuing, and shall not be subject
to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason, including any circumstance which
constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than indefeasible
performance in full of the Obligations. Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of
this guaranty, presentments, notices of default, nonpayment, partial payments and protest,
all other notices or formalities, any right to require prosecution of collection or remedies
against Licensor or any other person or entity or to pursue any other remedy in Licensee’s
power. Without limiting the generality of any other waiver or provision set forth herein,
Guarantor hereby waives, to the maximum extent such waiver is permitted by Law, any and all
defenses arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of California Civil Code §§
2808, 2809, 2815, 2819, 2839, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433. Guarantor agrees that one or more,
and successive and/or concurrent, actions may be brought against it, either in the same
action in which Licensor or any other person is sued on in separate actions and that the
cessation of the liability of Licensor for any reason, other than full payment and
performance of the obligations, shall not in any way affect the liability of the undersigned
hereunder.
The rights, powers and remedies given to Licensee by this Guaranty are cumulative
and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies given
to Licensee by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in the License Agreement.
Any forbearance or failure to exercise, or any delay by Licensee in exercising, any
right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or
be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of
any such right, power or remedy.
In case any provision in or Obligation under this Guaranty 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 Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall be binding upon Guarantor and its
successors and assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Licensee and
its successors and assigns.
To the extent Guarantor is guaranteeing payment obligations of Licensor under the
terms of the License Agreement (“Payment Obligations”), this guaranty is a
guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. Licensee may from time to
time, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability
of this Guaranty or giving rise to any limitation, impairment or discharge of
Guarantor’s liability hereunder, (i) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or
accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the
obligations of Licensor or any agreement relating thereto; (ii) have stayed or
enjoined, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, the exercise or
enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to
the obligations of Licensor or any agreement relating thereto; (iii) waive, amend or
modify, or consent to departure from, any of the terms or
provisions of the License Agreement; and (iv) omit or delay in doing any act or
thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Guarantor
as an obligor in respect of the obligations’.
2
Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of the Licensee: (i) any defense arising
by reason of the incapacity or lack of authority of Licensor; (ii) any defense based
upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must
be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the
principal; and (iii) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise,
which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and any legal or
equitable discharge of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
Until any Payment Obligations shall have been paid in full, Guarantor shall withhold
exercise of any right of subrogation. Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent
the withholding of its rights of subrogation as set forth herein is found by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of
subrogation Guarantor may have against Licensor shall be junior and subordinate to
any rights Licensee may have against Licensor.
In the event that all or any portion of any Payment Obligations are paid by
Licensor, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full
force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any
part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from
Licensee as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments
which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Payment Obligations for all
purposes under this Guaranty.
6. Guarantor shall not be liable for or suffer any penalty or termination of rights
hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in performing any of its obligations hereunder
if such failure or delay is occasioned by compliance with governmental regulation or order,
or by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Guarantor, including but not limited to
acts of God, war, insurrection, fire, flood, accident, strike or other labor disturbance,
interruption of or delay in transportation. Guarantor shall promptly notify Licensee in
writing of any such event of force majeure, the expected duration thereof, and its
anticipated effect on Licensee and make reasonable efforts to remedy any such event, except
Guarantor shall be under no obligation to settle a labor dispute.
7. This Guaranty amends and restates that certain MLA Licensor Guaranty made as of December
20, 2010 by and between Guarantor and Licensee.
