8.Common rules of the Options
(a)The Founders Representative will have 30 Business Days from its receipt of the relevant Valuation Statement from Entravision (the “Objection Period”) to review the relevant Valuation Statement. Upon the expiration of the relevant Objection Period, the Founders Representative will be deemed to have accepted (and will be deemed to have waived all rights with respect to), and will be bound by, the relevant Valuation Statement and the calculation of EBITDA for the Relevant Measurement Period and the relevant Options Purchase Price set forth therein, unless the Founders Representative has notified Entravision in writing of its disagreement with the relevant Valuation Statement prior to the expiration of the relevant Objection Period (the “Objection”), specifying each disputed item (each, a “Disputed Item”) and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each Disputed Item. Entravision will have 20 Business Days from the date on which it receives the Objection to review and respond to such Objection (the “Entravision Response”). To the extent Entravision and the Founders Representative are able to negotiate in good faith mutually agreeable resolutions for the Disputed Items, the relevant Valuation Statement will be modified as necessary to reflect such mutually agreed resolution(s). If Entravision and the Founders Representative are able to resolve all Disputed Items, the relevant Valuation Statement and the calculation of EBITDA for the Relevant Measurement Period and the relevant Options Purchase Price set forth therein, as modified by such resolutions, will be deemed final, non-appealable and binding among Entravision, the Founders Representative and the Founders for all purposes of this Agreement.
(b)If the Founders Representative and Entravision are unable to resolve all Disputed Items within 20 Business Days after delivery of Entravision Response (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed by Entravision and the Founders Representative in writing), then the Disputed Items shall be submitted to the Arbitration Firm, which shall be jointly engaged by Entravision and the Founders Representative, to promptly review the relevant Valuation Statement and resolve such Disputed Items. Entravision and the Founders Representative will request that the Arbitration Firm render its determination
19
Execution version
within 40 days following submission to it of such Disputed Items. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Arbitration Firm is limited to the Disputed Items. In resolving any Disputed Item, the Arbitration Firm (i) will determine EBITDA for the corresponding Relevant Measurement Period and the corresponding Options Purchase Price in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value claimed for such item by either Entravision or the Founders Representative or less than the smallest value claimed for such item by either Entravision or the Founders Representative and (iii) will base its determination solely on written materials submitted by Entravision and the Founders Representative (and not on any independent review). Furthermore, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Firm shall have the sole and exclusive authority to resolve the Disputed Items even if the resolution of legal issues is required to resolve the Disputed Items. The Parties further agree that the Arbitration Firm shall also have the sole authority to determine whether any such legal issues exist and, to the extent they do, to retain and consult with legal counsel of Arbitration Firm’s choosing with respect to legal conclusions or judgments arising from the Disputed Items, provided that the Parties agree that such legal counsel shall not have any material commercial or professional relationship with any of the Parties. The costs of any fees and expenses of the Arbitration Firm will be borne in equal parts by the Founders and Entravision. The Arbitration Firm will deliver to Entravision and the Founders Representative a revised relevant Valuation Statement setting forth the updated calculation of EBITDA for the corresponding Relevant Measurement Period and the relevant Options Purchase Price, as modified by the Arbitration Firm’s final determinations, which will be deemed final, non-appealable and binding among the Parties hereto for all purposes of this Agreement (absent manifest error or fraud), and upon which a judgment may be rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, and will not be subject to further appeal or review.
(c)For purposes of complying with the terms of this Clause 7, each Party hereto (i) will cooperate with and make available to the other Parties and its representatives information, records, data and working papers as reasonably requested in connection with the analysis of the relevant Valuation Statement and the resolution of the Disputed Items so long as directly relevant to such analysis, and (ii) will permit access to its facilities and personnel, upon advance written notice of not less than two Business Days and during normal business hours, in each case as may be reasonably requested in connection with the analysis of the relevant Valuation Statement and the resolution of the Disputed Items so long as directly relevant to such analysis; provided, however, (A) in no event will any of the Parties be required to produce information that cannot be provided through such Party’s accounting or Tax reporting methods, policies and reporting systems in the Ordinary Course of Business, (B) the provision of any information or access pursuant to this Clause 78 will be subject to execution of confidentiality agreements as requested by the applicable Party, and (C) nothing in this Clause 87 will require any party to disclose information that is subject to any applicable privilege, including, without limitation, attorney-client privilege or the privilege of attorney work product.
(d)Unless mutually agreed by the Founders Representative and Entravision in writing, the consummation of the sale and transfer of the Option Shares pursuant to this Agreement will occur on a date (the “Options Closing Date”) determined by mutual agreement by the Parties, but in no event more than 30 days after final determination of the relevant Options Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable. On the relevant Options Closing Date, (i) Entravision and the Founders will execute a public deed substantially in the form of Exhibit 8(d) before a Notary Public nominated by Entravision to formalize the sale and transfer of the Option Shares to Entravision (or one or more of its delegates), and (ii) subject to the provisions of Clauses 2(d), 3(d), 4(d), 5(d), 6(e) and 7(d), Entravision will pay the corresponding Options Purchase Price, as finally determined pursuant to this Agreement; and (iii) Entravision and the Founders will perform any further actions mutually agreed or required to formalize the sale and transfer of the applicable Option Shares under applicable Spanish common Law (derecho común español).
