On October 2, 2017, Entravision Communications Corporation (the “Company”) entered into that certain Station Affiliation Agreement (the “Affiliation Agreement”) dated as of October 2, 2017 by and between the Company, on the one hand, and The Univision Network Limited Partnership and UniMás Network, on the other hand (together, “Univision”). The Affiliation Agreement supersedes and replaces both of: (i) that certain Master Network Affiliation Agreement dated August 14, 2002 (as amended) by and between the Company and Univision Network Limited Partnership, and (ii) that certain Master Network Affiliation Agreement dated March 17, 2004 (as amended) by and between the Company and Telefutura.

The Affiliation Agreement provides certain of the Company’s owned television stations the exclusive right to broadcast programming from the Univision network or the UniMás network in their respective markets. The term of the Affiliation Agreement is through December 31, 2026 for all of the company’s Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations, except that the Affiliation Agreement will expire on December 31, 2021 with respect to the company’s Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations in Orlando, Florida; Tampa, Florida; and Washington, D.C. Under the Affiliation Agreement, the company retains the right to sell no less than four minutes per hour of the available advertising time on stations that broadcast Univision network programming, and the right to sell approximately four and a half minutes per hour of the available advertising time on stations that broadcast UniMás network programming, subject to adjustment from time to time by Univision. Under the Affiliation Agreement, Univision acts as the company’s exclusive third-party sales representative for the sale of certain national advertising on the company’s Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations, and the company pays certain sales representation fees to Univision relating to sales of all advertising for broadcast on the company’s Univision and UniMás network affiliate television stations.

The term of each of these agreements extends through December 31, 2026, except that the agreements will expire on December 31, 2021 with respect to affiliate stations in Orlando, Florida; Tampa, Florida; and Washington, D.C.
