Company or any of its subsidiaries or to Z-Spanish or any of its subsidiaries;

of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, proforma for the
acquisition of Z-Spanish.

effect on the business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations
of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Z-Spanish.

Company, any of its subsidiaries, Z-Spanish or any of its subsidiaries on the

Company's best knowledge, threatened against the Company, any of its

any shareholders' agreements or arrangements, or any other instrument or
agreement to which the Company or Z-Spanish is a party or by which either of
them is bound or under which either of them is entitled to any right or benefit,
is required in connection with the offering, issuance, sale or purchase by you
of any of the Shares under this Agreement or the consummation of any of the

circumstance that would prevent the closing of the Company's acquisition of Z-
Spanish.
(kk) Each agreement relating to the Reorganization Transactions has been
duly authorized by all necessary board of directors and stockholder action, or
all necessary advisory board, manager and member action, as the case may be, on
the
18
part of each of the parties thereto and has been duly executed and delivered by
each of the parties thereto. The Company has provided to the Underwriters true,
complete and correct copies of the Reorganization Agreements, including all
amendments thereto. The execution and delivery of the Reorganization Agreements,
the compliance with all of the provisions therein and the consummation of the
transactions therein contemplated do not and will not conflict with or result in
a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or give rise to
(with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both) a default under, any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or
instrument to which any party thereto is a party or by which any such party is
bound or to which any of the property or assets of any such party is subject,
nor will such actions result in any violation of the provision of the
certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws, or the certificate of
formation or limited liability company agreement, as the case may be, of any
such party as currently in effect and as in effect upon the consummation of the
Reorganization Transactions, or any statute or any order, rule or regulation of

Section 7. Indemnification.
(a) The Company and each of its subsidiaries, jointly and severally, agree
to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, its officers and
each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section
15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and judgments (including, without limitation, any legal or other
expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any matter,
including any action, that could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or judgments) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto), the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or
any preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by any such untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating
to any Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by such Underwriter
through you expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing
indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure
to the benefit of any Underwriter who failed to deliver a Prospectus, as then
amended or
19
supplemented (so long as the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto was provided by the Company to the several Underwriters in the requisite
quantity and on a timely basis to permit proper delivery on or prior to the
Closing Date), to the person asserting any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or judgments caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in such preliminary prospectus, or caused by any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if
such material misstatement or omission or alleged material misstatement or
omission was cured in the Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, and such
Prospectus was required by law to be delivered at or prior to the written
confirmation of sale to such person.
In addition to the foregoing, in connection with the offer and sale of the
Directed Shares, the Company and each of its subsidiaries, and Z-Spanish and
each of its subsidiaries, jointly and severally, agrees, promptly upon a request
in writing, to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters from and against any
and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by them as a
result of (i) the failure of purchasers of the Directed Shares (including
eligible directors, officers, employees, customers, subscribers and persons
having business relationships with the Company) to pay for and accept delivery
of the Directed Shares which, by the end of the first business day following the
date of this Agreement, were subject to a properly confirmed application to
purchase or (ii) any violation or alleged violation of the Act or any other
federal or state law or any liability based on common law, in each case, arising
out of or relating to the manner in which the Directed Shares are sold and
pertaining to any actions or inactions by the Company (or by the Company jointly
with any other person) including without limitation any e-mails or other
communications by the Company (or by the Company jointly with any other person)
with customers or subscribers of the Company relating to the Directed Shares or
possible opportunities to purchase Directed Shares.
(b) The Company and each of its subsidiaries, Z-Spanish and each of its
subsidiaries, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless DLJ
and each person, if any, who controls DLJ within the meaning of either Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act ("DLJ Entities"),
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (i) caused
by the failure of any Participant to pay for and accept delivery of the shares
which immediately following the effective date of the Registration Statement,
were subject to a properly confirmed agreement to purchase; or (ii) related to,
arising out of, or in connection with the Directed Share Program, provided that,
the Company shall not be responsible under this subparagraph (ii) for any
losses, claim, damages or
20
liabilities (or expenses relating thereto) that are finally judicially
determined to have resulted from the bad faith or gross negligence of DLJ
Entities.
(c) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent
as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter but only with
reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished in writing to
the Company by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) or any preliminary prospectus.
(d) In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 7(a), 7(b) or 7(c) (the
"indemnified party"), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person
against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing
and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and
the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that
in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to both Sections 7(a) and 7(c), or pursuant to both Sections 7(b) and 7(c) the
Underwriter shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant
to this Section 7(d), but may employ separate counsel and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided
below, shall be at the expense of such Underwriter). Any indemnified party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in
the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall
have been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the
named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both
the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party
shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall
not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the
indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in
connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate
firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters, their
officers and directors and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or
21
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company,
its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and all persons,
if any, who control the Company within the meaning of either such Section, and
all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case
of any such separate firm for the Underwriters, their officers and directors and
such control persons of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in
writing by Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx Securities Corporation. In the case of
any such separate firm for the Company and such directors, officers and control
persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company.
The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments
by reason of any settlement of any action (i) effected with its written consent
or (ii) effected without its written consent if the settlement is entered into
more than twenty business days after the indemnifying party shall have received
a request from the indemnified party for reimbursement for the fees and expenses
of counsel (in any case where such fees and expenses are at the expense of the
indemnifying party) and, prior to the date of such settlement, the indemnifying
party shall have failed to comply with such reimbursement request. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of
judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which
the indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity or
contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified
party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an
unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that
are or could have been the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not
include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, if indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section
7(b) hereof in respect of such action or proceeding, then in addition to such
separate firm for the indemnified parties, the indemnifying party shall be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one separate firm
(in addition to any local counsel) for DLJ for the defense of any losses,
claims, damages and liabilities arising out of the Directed Share Program, and
all persons, if any, who control DLJ within the meaning of either Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.
(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is
unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering
of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 7(e)(i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause 7(e)(i) above but also the
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
22
Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the
offering (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but before
deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, bear to the total price
to the public of the Shares (including any shares sold directly by the Company
with the prior written consent of Xxxxxxxxx, Lufkin & Xxxxxxxx Securities
Corporation), in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the
Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other hand
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(e) were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action,
that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public
were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to contribute
pursuant to this Section 7(e) are several in proportion to the respective number
of Shares purchased by each of the Underwriters hereunder and not joint.
23
(f) The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any
indemnified party at law or in equity.
Section 8. Conditions of Underwriters' Obligations. The several
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Firm Shares under this Agreement
are subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(a) All the representations and warranties of the Company contained in
this Agreement shall be true and correct on the Closing Date with the same force
and effect as if made on and as of the Closing Date.
(b) If the Company is required to file a Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement after the effectiveness of this Agreement, such Rule 462(b)
Registration Statement shall have become effective by 10:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the date of this Agreement; and no stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no
proceedings for that purpose shall have been commenced or shall be pending
before or contemplated by the Commission.
(c) You shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate dated the
Closing Date, signed by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx in their
capacities as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief
Operating Officer, respectively, of the Company, confirming the matters set
forth in Sections 6(v), 8(a) and 8(b) and that the Company has complied with all
of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions herein contained and
required to be complied with or satisfied by the Company on or prior to the
Closing Date.
(d) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the
Prospectus other than as set forth in the Prospectus (exclusive of any
amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this
Agreement), (i) there shall not have occurred any change or any development
involving a prospective change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or
the earnings, business, management or operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries, proforma for the acquisition of Z-Spanish, taken as a whole,
(ii) there shall not have been any change or any development involving a
prospective change in the capital stock or in the long-term debt of the
Company, any of its subsidiaries, Z-Spanish or any of its subsidiaries and
(iii) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have incurred
any liability or obligation, direct or contingent, the effect of which, in
any such case described in clause 8(d)(i), 8(d)(ii) or 8(d)(iii), in your
judgment, is material and adverse and, in your judgment, makes it
impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus.
(e) (i) The Reorganization Transactions shall have been consummated prior
to the Closing Date to the satisfaction of the Underwriters and their counsel,
24
and (ii) conditional approval from the FCC shall have been obtained for the
transfer of the broadcast licenses of Z-Spanish to the Company prior to the
Closing Date.
(f) You shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion (satisfactory

28
(xvii) to the best of such counsel's knowledge after due inquiry,
there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company
and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to
file a registration statement under the Act with respect to any securities
of the Company or to require the Company to include such securities with
the Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement;

state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

approval, authorization or other order of, or qualification with, any court
or governmental body or agency, (B) conflict with or constitute a breach of

If on the Closing Date or on an Option Closing Date, as the case may be,
any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase the Firm
Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which it has or they have
agreed to purchase hereunder on such date and the aggregate number of Firm
Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more
than one-tenth of the total number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the
case may be, to be purchased on such date by all Underwriters, each non-
defaulting Underwriter shall be obligated severally, in the proportion which the
number of Firm Shares set forth opposite its name in Schedule I bears to the
total number of Firm Shares which all the non-defaulting Underwriters have
agreed to purchase, or in such other proportion as you may specify, to purchase
the Firm Shares or Additional Shares, as the case may be, which such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such

and the Company for purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 48 hours
after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part

33
Company. In any such case which does not result in termination of this
Agreement, either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the
Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the
required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or
any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing
Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase
Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to
which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of
Additional Shares to be purchased on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters
shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase
such Additional Shares or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional
Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to
purchase on such date in the absence of such default. Any action taken under
this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in
respect of any default of any such Underwriter under this Agreement.
