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.

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.

(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.

(ii) Rights to Univision Packaged Programming Offerings. Licensee shall have rights, on the terms, conditions, exceptions and exclusions contained herein, to Univision Group’s existing and future linear and, to the extent the delivery and exercise of such rights is commercially feasible, non-linear packaged and branded programming offerings (e.g., a specially branded Univision Group video-on-demand classic Novela “channel” containing Novelas selected and packaged by Univision Group) that Univision Group Broadcasts outside the Territory, to the extent such packaged programming offerings are comprised of Licensed Content, to the same extent of, mutatis mutandis, Licensee’s rights with respect to Univision Channels contained in Section 1.2(d)(i).
(iii) Univision Channel Marks. In accordance with its exercise of the rights to Univision Channels and other packaged and branded programming offerings, Licensee shall have the right, but not the obligation to use the Univision Channel Marks in accordance with the trademark license set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto; provided, that Licensee shall have the obligation to use such Univision Channel Marks with respect to any Univision Channel or other packaged and branded programming offering that Licensee uses without modification (other than insertion, deletion or substitution of advertising as permitted hereunder); provided, further, that in the event that Licensee’s customizations or reconfigurations of a Univision Channel or packaged programming offering change the genre or integrity of such Univision Channel or packaged programming offering, then Licensee shall, upon Licensor’s reasonable request, cease, as soon as reasonably practicable, the use of the Univision Channel Marks relating to such customized or reconfigured Univision Channel or packaged programming offering.
(iv) No Impact on Other Licensee Rights. Nothing contained in this Section 1.2(d) shall impair or restrict Licensee’s right to Broadcast in any Licensed Media during the Term, in the Territory (whether on channels, networks, programming services or on a stand-alone basis) any individual item of Licensed Content (whether or not Broadcast by Univision Group on any Univision Channel or other packaged programming offering outside the Territory).
(e) Charitable/Religious Content.
(i) Licensee Rights to Charitable/Religious Content. The Licensed Content includes all Charitable/Religious Content and the Licensed Rights include (i) the exclusive right to Broadcast Charitable/Religious Content in all Licensed Media other than by means of the Internet; and (b) the non-exclusive right (subject only to Licensor’s rights set forth in Section 1.2(e)(ii)) to Broadcast Charitable/Religious Content by means of the Internet, in each case, in the Territory during the Term.
(ii) Univision Group Non-Exclusive Right to Charitable/Religious Content. Univision Group shall have the non-exclusive right to Broadcast Charitable/Religious Content in the Territory during the Term only by means of the Internet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Univision Group shall not be permitted to Broadcast, license or otherwise make available for Broadcast any Charitable/Religious Content during the Term in the Territory on a Linear Television Channel, or on a continuous streamed basis as to constitute, or take on the characteristics of, a Linear Television Channel.

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.

(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).

(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).

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.

(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).

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

HAS REQUESTED THAT THE OMITTED PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT, WHICH ARE INDICATED BY ASTERISKS, BE AFFORDED CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934. GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A.B. HAS SEPARATELY FILED THE OMITTED PORTIONS OF THE DOCUMENT WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
(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


 

4.4 Exceptions to Licensor Approval. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement:
(a) TIN Arrangements. TIN Arrangements will be permitted without Licensor approval, do not constitute Sublicensing Arrangements, and any existing or future TIN Arrangements shall not be subject to any of the terms and conditions of Section 4; provided, that in the case of third party arrangements for TIN Branded Experiences only, such arrangements shall comply with the General Requirements. Licensee shall provide Licensor with written notice (that contains the identity of the counterparty and a summary of all material terms) substantially in the form of Schedule 3 attached hereto as soon as reasonably practicable following its entering into any arrangements for a TIN Branded Experience that Licensee concludes with third parties for Broadcast of Licensed Content.
(b) MVPD Arrangements. Licensor and Licensee hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) Licensee is currently a party to MVPD Arrangements and will, from time to time, enter into additional MVPD Arrangements consistent with industry practice; (ii) existing and future MVPD Arrangements shall not require Licensor’s approval; and (iii) MVPD Arrangements are not Sublicensing Arrangements and the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4 do not apply to any existing or future MVPD Arrangements.
(c) Network Affiliation Arrangements. Network Affiliation Agreements will be permitted without Licensor approval, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1.2(a)(ii).
(d) Clip Exchange Arrangements. Clip Exchange Arrangements will be permitted without Licensor approval, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 1.6.
4.5 Interactive Functionality; Technological Enhancements.
(a) Rights for Interactive Functionality; Technological Enhancements. Licensee’s permitted third party sublicensees (including any third parties permitted to Broadcast the Licensed Content in the Territory in accordance with this Section 4), MVPDs and Network Affiliates will be permitted to add enhanced interactivity (e.g., on-screen programming guides, menus, interactive voting systems, etc.), sharing capability, links to other community features, overlays, squeezebacks, automated translation technology and other similar interactive functionality to 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.
(b) Notice of Technological Enhancements. Licensee shall, at the Informational Meetings, inform Licensor of any Technological Enhancements authorized or approved by Licensee to be undertaken by its permitted third party sublicensees which has not been previously notified to Licensor at prior Informational Meetings.

(a) DTO Availability Request. Upon request by Licensee from time to time, Licensor shall make identified items of Licensed Content available for Licensee’s Broadcast in the Territory by means of DTO to the extent that Licensor owns or controls such rights.

(b) Limitation to Televisa Interactive Network.

Any DTO arrangements with third parties outside of the Televisa Interactive Network are subject to Licensor’s approval as set forth in Section 4. All DTO arrangements shall comply with the geo-filtering provisions set forth in Section 3.7(a)(iii).

Licensor shall have the full rights to select and remove Licensed Content for DTO in its discretion, subject to the selection limitations and minimum content requirements set forth in Section 5.1(a). Licensor shall provide to Licensee at least thirty (30) days’ notice prior to any removal of Licensed Content being Broadcast by means of DTO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may, from time to time, request that specific Licensed Content be made available for DTO Broadcast, and Licensor shall consider in good faith any such requests; provided, that Licensor’s decision with respect thereto shall be in its sole discretion and shall be final and binding.
(e) Information. For rights and administrative control purposes with respect to the Broadcast of Licensed Content by means of DTO, Licensee shall provide to Licensor monthly online reports (detailing downloads, payments and pricing) regarding such Broadcast, and any other information which Licensor reasonably requests, in each case, to the extent such information is reasonably available to Licensee.

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 distribution of Licensed Content on a linear, streamed, temporal or otherwise non-permanent basis.
(h) Editing. Licensee’s rights to edit the Licensed Content are set forth in Section 8.8.
(i) [Intentionally Omitted]
(j) Clean Versions.

(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.

(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 univision.com 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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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 818 West 7th Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90017 as his or its agent to receive on

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).

16.1 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).

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)).

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”.

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.

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’.

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.

AMENDED AND RESTATED MLA LICENSEE GUARANTY
For and in consideration of the execution by UNIVISION COMMUNICATIONS INC.

(“Licensee”), of even date herewith, GRUPO TELEVISA, S.A.B. (“Guarantor”) hereby agrees as follows:
1. Guarantor confirms and joins in the representations and warranties made by Licensee in Section 12.1 of the License Agreement;
2. Guarantor guarantees the full performance by Licensee of all of its obligations, including all Payment 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 Licensee, Guarantor or the entities comprising Grupo Televisa, and guarantees the full performance by the entities comprising Grupo Televisa of all such obligations, including all Payment 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 818 West 7th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90017 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 Licensee 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).
