PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

    This summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed information and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined elsewhere in this prospectus.

Who We Are

    We are a Delaware corporation and our principal executive offices are located at 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 3050, Los Angeles, California 90067, telephone number (310) 556-7676. For additional information about us, please refer to the documents we have incorporated by reference. See "WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION."

    We are the leading Spanish-language television broadcaster in the United States. We own 26 full-power and seven low-power television stations. We have the right to acquire five full-power and four low-power stations, and we have an agreement to acquire a construction permit for another full-power station. We also have an approximately 32% interest in Entravision Communications Corporation, a diversified Spanish-language media company that owns and operates the majority of our full-power broadcast affiliates. Through the Univision Network, we reach approximately 95% of all Hispanic households in the United States and, with our equity interest in Entravision, we control or have an equity interest in almost all of our broadcast distribution. Through our programming agreements with Televisa, the world's largest producer of Spanish-language programs, and Venevision, one of Venezuela's leading television networks, as well as our internally produced programming, we believe that we offer our viewers the highest quality Spanish-language television programming available.

The Exchange Offer

    On July 18, 2001, we issued $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.85% Senior Notes due 2011 to certain initial purchasers in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The terms of the new Notes and the old Notes are substantially identical in all material respects, except that the new Notes will be freely transferable by the holders, except as otherwise provided in this prospectus.

    We are offering to exchange $1,000 principal amount of new Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of old Notes.

    In connection with the sale of the old Notes, we entered into an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement with the initial purchasers dated as of July 18, 2001 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), which grants the holders of the old Notes certain exchange and registration rights. The exchange offer is intended to satisfy such exchange rights, which terminate upon the consummation of the exchange offer.

    Based on existing interpretations of the Securities Act by the staff of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance (the "Staff") set forth in several no-action letters to third parties, and subject to the immediately following sentence, we believe that the new Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by the holders thereof (other than holders who are broker-dealers) without further compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act (subject to certain representations required to be made by each holder of the old Notes, as described below). However, any purchaser of the old Notes (A) who is an affiliate of us or the Guarantors, (B) who did not acquire the new Notes to be received in the ordinary course of business or (C) who intends to participate in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing new Notes, or any broker-dealer who purchased the old Notes to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act (x) will not be able to rely on the interpretation of the Staff set forth in the above-mentioned no-action letters, (y) will not be entitled to

5


tender its old Notes in the exchange offer and (z) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any sale or transfer of the old Notes unless such sale or transfer is made pursuant to an exemption from such requirements. We do not intend to seek our own no-action letter, and there can be no assurance that the Staff would make a similar determination with respect to the new Notes as it has in such no-action letters issued to other parties.

    Any holder (other than certain specified holders) who wishes to exchange the old Notes for new Notes in the exchange offer will be required to represent that (i) it is not an affiliate of us or the Guarantors or if it is an affiliate, that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (ii) the new Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business and (iii) at the time of the exchange offer, it has no arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the new Notes. In addition, in connection with any resales of new Notes, any broker-dealer who acquired the Notes for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act. The SEC has taken the position that participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the new notes with this prospectus. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we and the Guarantors are required to allow participating broker-dealers and other persons, if any, subject to similar prospectus delivery requirements to use this prospectus in connection with the resale of the new notes.

Expiration Date   The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on            , 2001, or a later date and time to which we extend it (the "expiration date").

Withdrawal

 

The tender of the old Notes in the exchange offer may be withdrawn at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on            , 2001, or a later date and time to which we extend the offer.

Interest on the New Notes and the Old Notes

 

Interest on the new Notes will accrue from the date of the original issuance of the old Notes or from the date of the last periodic payment of interest on the old Notes, whichever is later. No additional interest will be paid on the old Notes tendered and accepted for exchange. However, old Notes that are not tendered or accepted for exchange will continue to accrue interest.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

 

The exchange offer is subject to certain conditions, which we may waive. See "THE EXCHANGE OFFER—Conditions to the Exchange Offer."

6



Procedures for Tendering Old Notes

 

To accept the exchange offer, you must complete, sign and date a copy of the accompanying letter of transmittal and mail or otherwise deliver it, together with the old Notes and any other required documentation, to the exchange agent at the address set forth in this prospectus. Persons holding the old Notes through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and wishing to accept the exchange offer must do so under the DTC's automated tender offer program. Under this program, each tendering participant will agree to be bound by the letter of transmittal.

Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners

 

Any beneficial owner whose old Notes are beneficially registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact such registered holder promptly and instruct such registered holder to tender on such beneficial owner's behalf. If such beneficial owner wishes to tender on such beneficial owner's own behalf, such owner must, before completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering its old Notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old Notes in such owner's name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

 

Holders of old Notes who wish to tender their old Notes and whose old Notes are not immediately available or who cannot deliver their old Notes, the letter of transmittal or any other documents required by the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent (or comply with the procedures for book-entry transfer) before the expiration date must tender their old Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "THE EXCHANGE OFFER—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures."

Exchange Agent

 

Our principal exchange agent is The Bank of New York.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

In the opinion of our counsel, the exchange of old Notes for new Notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes.

7



Effect of Not Tendering

 

Old Notes that are not tendered, or that are tendered but not accepted, will continue to be subject to the existing restrictions on transfer. We will have no further obligation to register the old Notes under the Securities Act. See "THE EXCHANGE OFFER—Consequences Of Failure To Exchange."

The New Notes

    Some of the terms and conditions described below are subject to important limitations and exceptions. The "DESCRIPTION OF NEW NOTES" section of this prospectus beginning on page 26 contains a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the new Notes.

As of June 30, 2001, we had approximately $951,000,000 of debt outstanding.

Optional Redemption

 

We can redeem some or all of the Notes at our option at any time at the redemption prices listed under the caption "DESCRIPTION OF NEW NOTES—Optional Redemption" on page 28.

RISK FACTORS

    You should carefully consider the following discussion of risks, and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus in evaluating us and our business before participating in the exchange offer:


Risk Factors Related To The Exchange

    Holders of old Notes who do not exchange their old Notes for new Notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of the old Notes, as set forth in the legends on the old Notes. The old Notes may not be offered or sold unless they are registered under the Securities Act or are exempt from registration. See "THE EXCHANGE OFFER."


Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and the Notes

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the Notes.

    At June 30, 2001, after giving effect to the sale of the Notes and repayment of existing indebtedness with the proceeds from the original issuance of the Notes and drawings under our new credit facilities, and assuming we applied the proceeds as intended, we would have had total indebtedness of approximately $951.0 million. Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

    make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the Notes;

    increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments and other general corporate purposes;

    limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the markets in which we operate;

    place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

    limit our ability to borrow additional funds.

    In addition, we will incur additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the Indentures governing the Notes and the new credit facilities will allow us to incur additional debt subject to certain limitations. If new debt is added to current debt levels, the related risks described above could intensify. If such debt financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to grow our business, take advantage of business opportunities, respond to competitive pressures or refinance maturing debt, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

The Notes are obligations of a holding company that has no independent operations and is dependent on its subsidiaries for cash.

    As a holding company, our investments in our operating subsidiaries constitute all of our operating assets. Consequently, our subsidiaries conduct all of our consolidated operations and own substantially all of our consolidated assets. Our principal source of the cash we need to pay our obligations, including the Notes, is the cash that our subsidiaries generate from their operations. Our subsidiaries' ability to make payments to us will depend on their operating results and will be subject to applicable laws.

11


Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the guarantees of the Notes.

    The issuance of the guarantees of the Notes may be subject to review under U.S. federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent conveyance laws if a bankruptcy or reorganization case or lawsuit is commenced by or on behalf of a subsidiary guarantor's unpaid creditors. Under the laws, if a court were to find in such a bankruptcy or reorganization case or lawsuit that, at the time the subsidiary guarantor issued the guarantee of the Notes:

    it issued the guarantee to delay, hinder or defraud present or future creditors; or

    it received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for issuing the guarantee and at the time it issued the guarantee it was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of issuing the guarantee, or it was engaged, or about to engage, in a business or transaction for which its assets, after giving effect to its potential liability under the guarantee, constituted unreasonably small capital to carry on its business, or it intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature,

then the court could void the obligations under the guarantees of the Notes, subordinate the guarantees of the Notes to that subsidiary guarantor's other obligations or take other action detrimental to holders of the guarantees of the Notes.

    The measures of insolvency for purposes of fraudulent transfer laws vary depending upon the law of the jurisdiction that is being applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer had occurred. Generally, however, a person would be considered insolvent if, at the time it incurred the debt:

    the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

    it could not pay its debts as they become due.

    We cannot be sure as to the standard that a court would use to determine whether a subsidiary guarantor was solvent at the relevant time, or, regardless of the standard that the court uses, that the issuance of the guarantee of the Notes would not be voided or the guarantee of the Notes would not be subordinated to a subsidiary guarantor's other debt. If such a case were to occur, a guarantee could also be subject to the claim that, since the guarantee was incurred for Univision's benefit, and only indirectly for the benefit of the subsidiary guarantor, the guarantee was incurred for less than fair consideration.

We will require a significant amount of cash to service our indebtedness. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

    Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures and expansion efforts and any strategic acquisitions we may make in the future, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control.

    Based on our current level of operations and planned capital expenditures, we believe that our cash flow from operations, together with available cash and available borrowings under the new credit facility and the financing we expect to have in place before February 2002, will be adequate to meet future liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. However, we cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to repay indebtedness, including the Notes, or to fund other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including

12


the Notes, on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

You may not be able to sell the Notes easily.

    There is no established trading market for the Notes and we cannot assure you that an active or liquid trading market will develop. The liquidity of any market for the Notes will depend upon the number of holders, our own financial performance, the market for similar securities, the interest of securities dealers in making a market and other factors.


Risks Related to Our Business

Cancellations or reductions of advertising could cause our quarterly results to fluctuate and, therefore, could adversely affect the market price of our securities.

    We derive substantially all of our revenues from advertisers in diverse industries. Other than network advertising, some of which is presold on an annual basis, we rarely obtain long-term commitments from advertisers, and advertisers generally may cancel, reduce or postpone orders without penalty. Cancellations, reductions or delays in purchases of advertising could, and often do, occur as a result of a strike, a general economic downturn, an economic downturn in one or more industries or in one or more geographic areas, or a failure to agree on contractual terms. Since the middle of the third quarter of last year, there has been a general slowdown in the advertising industry. As a result of this slowdown, some of our advertisers have cancelled, reduced or postponed their orders with us. If these trends continue, and if we are unable to replace any lost or delayed advertising orders, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

If we cannot manage our growth and integrate acquired businesses or assets effectively, we may lose business and experience reduced profitability.

    As a result of our recent acquisition of stations from USA Broadcasting, together with acquisitions that we expect to make in late 2001 and early 2002, we will significantly increase our business within a short period of time. The number of our wholly owned and operated full-power television stations will more than double, and this may result in a strain on our infrastructure and internal systems. If we are to grow successfully, we must:

    attract and retain qualified employees, management and other key personnel;

    improve our operational, administrative and financial systems; and

    manage multiple relationships with various advertisers.

    We may not be able to accomplish all or any of these tasks, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our operating results. If we do not effectively manage our growth, our advertisers could reduce or cancel their advertising orders.

Failure of new stations and our new network to produce projected revenues could adversely affect our financial results and expected growth.

    If our new stations and our new network do not generate substantial revenues within the expected time periods, it could harm our financial results and our expected growth. We may incur significant expenses related to:

    purchasing programming;

    changing programming formats;

13


    programming to appeal to an audience distinct from our existing audiences on the Univision Network and Galavisión;

    increasing and improving cable distribution;

    hiring new personnel; and

    marketing new stations and the new network to viewers.

    Additionally, there may be a period before we can start generating substantial revenues because it requires time to gain viewer awareness of new station and network programming and to attract advertisers.

If we are unable to successfully convert acquired stations to a Spanish-language format, anticipated revenues from such acquisitions will be diminished.

    We intend to convert the English-language stations that we acquire or have recently acquired, including those from USA Broadcasting and Equity Broadcasting, to a Spanish-language format. This conversion process may require a heavy initial investment of both financial and management resources. We may incur losses for a period of time after a format change due to the time required to build up ratings and station loyalty. These format conversions may be unsuccessful in any given market, and we may incur substantial costs and losses in implementing this strategy. Additionally, we do not expect to convert any stations we acquire for the new network to a Spanish-language format before the first quarter of 2002. In the interim, we would have to purchase programming or produce our own programming for any such stations that are disengaged from their current programming, and we anticipate that such stations will operate at a loss at least until we convert them to our Spanish-language format. Any unanticipated delay in the launch of the new network would further increase these losses.

We are subject to risks associated with future acquisitions and joint ventures.

    We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of businesses and stations and to enter into joint venture arrangements that could complement or expand our business. We will not be able to acquire other businesses if we cannot identify suitable acquisition opportunities or obtain acceptable financing. The negotiation of potential acquisitions or joint ventures, as well as the integration of an acquired business or station, could require us to incur significant costs and cause diversion of management's time and resources. Future acquisitions by us could result in the following consequences:

    dilutive issuances of equity securities;

    incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities;

    impairment of goodwill and other intangibles; and

    other acquisition-related expenses.

    We may not be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us or in amounts sufficient for us to meet our requirements. In addition, even after we enter into acquisition agreements (including those that we have recently executed), the acquisitions may not close as conditions set forth in such agreements may not be satisfied. Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of any acquisition or to successfully integrate the operations of the acquired companies could also adversely affect our business and results of operations.

14


Our television ratings and revenue could decline significantly if Televisa programming becomes unavailable to us or becomes accessible to our viewers through means other than our stations, or if we are unable to obtain sufficient quality programming from others for the second network and the stations we have agreed to acquire in Puerto Rico.

    A substantial part of our operating strategy depends upon the continued availability and commercial success of programming from Televisa. In 2000 we derived approximately 40% of our gross advertising sales from programs produced by Televisa. Televisa programming represented approximately 37% of the Network's non-repeat broadcast hours in 2000. If such programming were to become unavailable or unsuccessful for any reason, including political or economic instability, government regulations or other trade barriers in Mexico, we might not be able to obtain or produce alternative programming of equivalent quality and popularity at all or on terms as favorable to us.

    Furthermore, we are currently involved in a dispute with Televisa regarding the exclusivity of our broadcast rights in the United States. Under our program license agreement, we have the first right to air Televisa's Spanish-language programming in the United States through 2017. Televisa asserts that it can directly broadcast that same programming into the United States through a direct satellite venture in Mexico. If we are unable to resolve this disagreement favorably, any resulting interruption or reduction in the supply of Televisa programming to our stations, or the broadcast of any Televisa programming in our markets other than through our stations, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

    Our program license agreement with Televisa is limited to broadcasts on the Univision Network and Galavisión, and will not extend to the new network or to broadcasts outside of the United States (defined under the program license agreement to exclude Puerto Rico). While in the United States Televisa generally cannot license its programming to third parties without being subject to a Univision right of first refusal, this restriction does not apply in Puerto Rico or other locations outside of the United States. Consequently, if we acquire the two stations in Puerto Rico, they will compete directly with Televisa programming. In addition, because Televisa and Venevision share the international rights to air some programs that we produce, including Sabado Gigante and Cristina, those shows are currently licensed to stations that will compete with any stations we may acquire in Puerto Rico. If we are unable to produce or acquire quality programming for the new network and any stations we may acquire in Puerto Rico, it may reduce our audience share for those stations and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

If we are unable to compete effectively against other stations and other media companies, some of which have greater resources than we do, we could suffer a decrease in advertising revenue.

    We face intense competition in the broadcasting and cable business. We compete for viewers and revenues with other Spanish-language broadcasting companies, such as Telemundo Group, Inc., as well as English-language television stations and networks, some of which have begun producing Spanish-language programming and simulcasting programming in English and Spanish. Several cable broadcasters have recently commenced, or announced their intention to commence, Spanish-language services as well. In addition, TV Azteca, the second largest producer of Spanish-language programming in the world, has announced it has launched a new television network targeting the U.S. Hispanic population.

    We also compete for viewers and revenues with independent television stations, other video media, suppliers of cable television programs, direct broadcast satellite systems (including two which were started in 1996 for broadcast outside the United States and in which Televisa and Venevision, respectively, have substantial interests), newspapers, magazines, the Internet, radio, outdoor and other forms of entertainment and advertising. In addition, our affiliates located near the Mexican border compete for viewers with television stations operated in Mexico, many of which are affiliated with a

15


Televisa network and owned by Televisa. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources than us, and increased competition for viewers and revenues may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The loss of any of our most popular programs could significantly decrease our ratings and negatively impact our advertising revenues.

    Our productions Sabado Gigante, a variety show hosted by Mario Kreutzberger, Primer Impacto, a news magazine program, and Cristina, a talk show hosted by Cristina Saralegui, are among our most successful programs in terms of advertising revenues generated. Approximately 19% of our total gross advertising revenues in 2000 were accounted for by advertising aired on these programs. If any of these programs were lost for any reason, including the failure to renegotiate contracts with key talent for the programs, any replacement programs might not have as much appeal to our audience or advertisers. Consequently, the loss of any of these programs, or a decrease in their popularity, could have a negative impact on our ratings and a corresponding material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Because the U.S. Hispanic population is highly concentrated geographically, a regional downturn in economic conditions or other negative event in particular markets could have a material adverse affect on our operations.

    Approximately 33% of all U.S. Hispanics live in the Los Angeles, New York and Miami-Fort Lauderdale markets, and the top ten U.S. Hispanic markets collectively account for approximately 56% of the U.S. Hispanic population. Our revenues are similarly concentrated in these key markets. As a result, a significant decline in revenue from our operations in these markets, whether due to a general regional economic downturn, increased competition or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

Our new Internet portal is expected to operate at a loss in 2001 and could also lose money in future years.

    We recently launched our proprietary Internet portal. We intend to continue to direct both financial and managerial resources to further upgrading and developing our presence on the Internet. To date, our Internet operations have resulted in net losses, and we expect that they will operate at a loss during the remainder of 2001. The portal may never operate at a profit.

We are dependent upon key personnel.

    Our business is dependent upon the performance of key individuals, including A. Jerrold Perenchio, our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of Mr. Perenchio could have a material adverse effect on us. Our continued success will also be dependent on our ability to attract and retain quality general managers and other management personnel for our new and existing stations and networks.

Because of our concentrated share ownership, Mr. Perenchio, Televisa and Venevision have control over our policies, affairs and all other aspects of our business and future direction.

    Mr. Perenchio beneficially owns all of our outstanding Class P common stock, which gives him ten votes per share compared to the one vote per share of all other capital stock. Our Class A and Class P common stock vote together on all matters. As of June 30, 2001, Mr. Perenchio had 73.2% of the voting power of all holders of Class A common stock and Class P common stock (who vote as a single class to elect our Class A/P directors), and, assuming no exercise of options or warrants, 69.1% of our overall voting power, with respect to substantially all matters submitted to a vote (subject to

16


supermajority board approvals), including election of directors, proxy contests, mergers, tender offers and other purchases of our common stock that could give our stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then prevailing market price for their shares of common stock.

    Under the supermajority voting provisions of our bylaws, Televisa's and/or Venevision's approval is required for many major company transactions, such as mergers, sales of significant assets, securities or certain debt issuances, dissolution and similar actions or other business transactions out of the ordinary course of our business. These provisions could also delay or prevent us from being acquired.

The required conversion to digital television could impose significant costs on us.

    The FCC requires us to provide a digitally transmitted signal by May 1, 2002 for all of our U.S. television stations and, generally, to stop broadcasting analog signals by 2006. Our costs to convert our television stations to digital television will be significant. The cost to supply both digital and analog signals between 2002 and 2006 will also be significant. Moreover, the FCC may impose additional public service obligations on television broadcasters in return for their use of the digital television spectrum, which could add to our operational costs.

Changes in the rules and regulations of the FCC could result in increased competition for our broadcast stations.

    Recent and prospective actions by the FCC could cause us to face increased competition in the future. The changes include:

    relaxation of restrictions on the participation by regional telephone operating companies in cable television and other direct-to-home audio and video technologies;

    the establishment of a Class A television service for low-power stations that makes such stations primary stations and gives them protection against full-service stations; and

    permission for direct broadcast satellite television to provide the programming of traditional over-the-air stations, including local and out-of-market network stations.

We are subject to ongoing regulation by the FCC which is beyond our control and which could negatively impact our operations.

    Our operations are subject to extensive and changing regulation on an ongoing basis by the FCC, which enforces the Communications Act. Approval by the FCC is required for the issuance, renewal and assignment of station operating licenses and the transfer of control of station licensees. Our FCC licenses will come up for renewal from time to time, and such renewal may be subject to challenge on a number of grounds. If we are unable to maintain our FCC license at any station, we would have to cease operations at that station. In addition, if the FCC were to revoke or fail to renew any of our significant licenses for any reason, our lenders could declare all amounts then outstanding to be immediately due and payable, and we may not have sufficient funds to pay the amounts owed.

    The FCC also regulates ownership and control by foreign interests. If we fail to comply with the foreign ownership restrictions included in our certificate of incorporation, or if we depart from representations made to the FCC, the FCC has the ability to enforce such foreign ownership restrictions through warnings, fines, cancellations of licenses or other actions.

17


Because our full-power television stations rely on "must carry" rights to obtain cable carriage, new laws or regulations that eliminate or limit the scope of our cable carriage rights could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

    Pursuant to the "must carry" provisions of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, a broadcaster may demand carriage on a specific channel on cable systems within its market. However, the future of those "must carry" rights is uncertain, especially as they relate to the carriage of digital television. The current FCC rules relate only to the carriage of analog television signals. It is not clear what, if any, "must carry" rights television stations will have after they make the transition to digital television. New laws or regulations that eliminate or limit the scope of our cable carriage rights could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

If any of our transmission equipment fails or becomes unavailable for any reason, the resulting interruption in broadcasting could negatively impact our financial results.

    Television broadcasting requires the use of sensitive technical equipment. We broadcast our programs to our affiliates on three separate satellites from four transponders, one of which is owned and three of which are leased on a long-term basis pursuant to two lease agreements. If any of these transponders or satellites fails, there can be no assurance that other transponders or satellites would be available to us, or if available, whether the use of such other transponders or satellites could be obtained on favorable terms. A disruption of transmission could reduce advertising revenues during and after the disruption and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

    We also own or lease remote antenna space and microwave transmitter space near each of our owned and operated stations. The loss of any of these antenna tower leases could similarly curtail our operations and reduce our revenues.


THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

    We originally issued and sold the old Notes on July 18, 2001 in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemptions provided by the Securities Act. Accordingly, the old Notes may not be transferred unless registered or unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws is available.

    As a condition to the sale of the old Notes, we and the initial purchasers of the old Notes (the "initial purchasers") entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. In the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed that we would:

    file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the new Notes by October 16, 2001;

    use our reasonable best efforts to cause a registration statement for the new Notes to become effective by December 14, 2001;

    use our reasonable best efforts to keep the exchange offer open for at least 20 calendar days after the date that notice of the exchange offer is mailed to the holders of the old Notes; and

    use our reasonable best efforts to complete the exchange offer within 60 calendar days after the effective date of the registration statement.

    We have filed a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The registration statement satisfies certain of our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

Terms of the Exchange Offer, Period for Tendering Old Notes

    This prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal together make up the exchange offer. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any old Notes that are properly tendered on or before the expiration date unless they are withdrawn as permitted below. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of new Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding old Notes surrendered in the exchange offer. Holders of the old Notes may tender some or all of their old Notes; however, old Notes may be exchanged only in integral multiples of $1,000. The form and terms of the new Notes are the same as the form and terms of the old Notes except that the exchange will be registered under the Securities Act and the new Notes will not bear legends restricting their transfer.

    The new Notes will evidence the same debt as the old Notes, respectively, and will be issued under the same Indenture.

    The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of old Notes being tendered. As of the date of this prospectus, an aggregate of $500,000,000 in principal amount of the old Notes is outstanding. This prospectus is first being sent on or about              , 2001, to all holders of old Notes known to us.

    We may, at any time or from time to time, extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open and delay acceptance for exchange of any old Notes by giving written notice of the extension to the holders as described below. During the extension, all old Notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer and may be accepted for exchange by us. Any old Notes not accepted for exchange for any reason will be returned without expense to the tendering holder as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the exchange offer.

    We reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer if any of the conditions of the exchange offer are not met. The conditions of the exchange offer are specified below under "—Conditions Of The Exchange Offer." We will give written notice of any extension, amendment, nonacceptance or termination to the holders of the old Notes as promptly as practicable. Any extension to be issued by means of a press release or other public announcement will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes

    The tender of old Notes by a holder as set forth below and the acceptance by us will create a binding agreement between the tendering holder and us upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal. Except as set forth below, a holder who wishes to tender old Notes for exchange must send a completed and signed letter of transmittal, including all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent at one of the addresses set forth below under "—Exchange Agent" on or before the expiration date. In addition, either:

    the exchange agent must receive before the expiration date certificates for the old Notes, as applicable, along with the letter of transmittal;

    the exchange agent must receive confirmation before the expiration date of a book-entry transfer of the old Notes, as applicable, into the exchange agent's account at the DTC as described below; or

    the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

    The method of delivery of old Notes, letters of transmittal and all other required documents, including delivery through DTC, is at the election and risk of the holders. If the delivery is by mail, we recommend that holders use registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. In all

19


cases, holders should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery. Holders should not send letters of transmittal or old Notes to us.

    Some beneficial ownership of old Notes is registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trustee or other nominee. If one of those beneficial owners wishes to tender, the beneficial owner should contact the registered holder of the old Notes promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on the beneficial owner's behalf. If one of those beneficial owners wishes to tender on its own behalf, then before completing and signing the letter of transmittal and delivering its old Notes, the beneficial owner must either register ownership of the old Notes in the beneficial owner's name or obtain a properly completed power of attorney from the registered holder of old Notes. The transfer of record ownership may take considerable time. If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of the old Notes, the old Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate powers of attorney. In either case, the letter of transmittal must be signed exactly as the name of the registered holder appears on the old Notes.

    Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed unless the old Notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

    by a registered holder of the old Notes who has not completed the box entitled "SPECIAL REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS" or "SPECIAL DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS" on the letter of transmittal, or

    for the account of a firm or other entity identified in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act as an eligible guarantor institution. Eligible guarantor institutions include:

    a member of a registered national securities exchange; or

    a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; or

    a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States.

    If signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal are required to be guaranteed, the guarantees must be by an eligible guarantor institution.

    If old Notes are registered in the name of a person other than a signer of the letter of transmittal, the old Notes surrendered for exchange must be endorsed by the registered holder with the signature guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution. Alternatively, the old Notes may be accompanied by a written assignment, signed by the registered holder with the signature guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution.

    All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt and acceptance of old Notes tendered for exchange will be determined by us in our sole discretion, and our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any tenders of any old Notes not properly tendered or any old Notes whose acceptance might, in our judgment or the judgment of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of the exchange offer as to any old Notes either before or after the expiration date. The interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer as to any old Notes either before or after the expiration date by us will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old Notes for exchange must be cured within a reasonable period of time as we will determine. Neither we nor the exchange agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of old Notes for exchange. Any old Notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holders, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable.

20


    If the letter of transmittal or any old Notes or powers of attorney are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should so indicate when signing. Unless waived by us, those persons must submit proper evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to act.

    By tendering, each holder will represent to us:

    that it is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of us or our Guarantors, or if it is an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable;

    that it is acquiring the new Notes in the ordinary course of its business; and

    at the time of the closing of the exchange offer it has no arrangement or understanding to participate in the distribution, within the meaning of the Securities Act, of the new Notes.

    If the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive new Notes for its own account in exchange for old Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, the holder may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. Such holder will be required to acknowledge in the letter of transmittal that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new Notes. However, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the holder will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Acceptance of Old Notes for Exchange, Delivery of New Notes

    Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the exchange offer, we will accept, promptly after the expiration date, all old Notes properly tendered and will issue the new Notes promptly after acceptance of the old Notes. See "—Conditions Of The Exchange Offer" below. We will be deemed to have accepted properly tendered old Notes for exchange when we have given oral or written notice to the exchange agent.

    For each old Note validly tendered to us, the holder of the old Note will receive a new Note having a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the tendered old Note. The new Notes will bear interest at the same rate and on the same terms as the old Notes. Consequently, interest on the new Notes will accrue at a rate of 7.85% per annum from July 18, 2001, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2002.

    The issuance of new Notes for old Notes that are accepted for exchange in the exchange offer will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of certificates for the old Notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of the old Notes into the exchange agent's account at the book-entry transfer facility, a completed and signed letter of transmittal and all other required documents. If any tendered old Notes are not accepted for any reason set forth in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, or if old Notes are submitted for a greater amount than the holder desires to exchange, the unaccepted or non-exchanged old Notes will be returned without expense to the tendering holder as promptly as practicable after the exchange offer expires or terminates. In the case of old Notes tendered by book-entry procedures described below, the non-exchanged old Notes will be credited to an account maintained with the book-entry transfer facility.

Conditions of the Exchange Offer

    We will not be required to accept for exchange any old Notes and may terminate or amend the exchange offer before the expiration date, if we determine that we are not permitted to effect the exchange offer because of:

    any changes in law, or applicable interpretations by the SEC; or

21


    any action or proceeding is instituted or threatened in any court or governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer.

    If we determine that any of the conditions are not satisfied, we may refuse to accept any old Notes and return all tendered old Notes to the tendering holders or extend the exchange offer and retain all old Notes tendered before the expiration date, subject to the rights of holders to withdraw such old Notes or waive such unsatisfied conditions with respect to the exchange offer and accept all properly tendered old Notes that have not been withdrawn. If such waiver or amendment constitutes a material change to the exchange offer, we will promptly disclose such waiver or amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the registered holders of the old Notes and we will extend the exchange offer to the extent required by Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act.

    Holders may have certain rights and remedies against us under the Registration Rights Agreement if we fail to close the exchange offer, whether or not the conditions stated above occur. These conditions are not intended to modify those rights or remedies. See "REGISTRATION RIGHTS."

Book Entry Transfer

    The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account for the old Notes at the book-entry transfer facility for the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus, and any financial institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility's systems may make book-entry delivery of old Notes by causing the book-entry transfer facility to transfer the applicable old Notes into the exchange agent's account at the book-entry transfer facility in accordance with the book-entry transfer facility's procedures for transfer. However, although delivery of old Notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at the book-entry transfer facility, the letter of transmittal or facsimile, or an agent's message, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must be received by the exchange agent at one of the addresses set forth below under "—Exchange Agent" on or before the expiration date or the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with.

    The term "agent's message" means a message, transmitted by DTC to the exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the tendering participant stating that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, and that we may enforce the letter of transmittal against the participant.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

    If a registered holder wishes to tender its old Notes and the old Notes are not immediately available, or time will not permit the holder's old Notes or other required documents to reach the exchange agent before the expiration date, or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on time, the old Notes may nevertheless be exchanged if:

    the tender is made through an eligible guarantor institution;

    before the expiration date, the exchange agent has received from the eligible guarantor institution an agent's message with respect to guaranteed delivery or a completed and signed letter of transmittal, or a facsimile, and a notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided by us. Delivery may be made by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery. The letter of transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery must set forth the name and address of the holder of the old Notes and the amount of the old Notes being tendered, state that the tender is being made and guarantee that within five trading days on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") after the date of signing of the notice of guaranteed delivery, the applicable certificates for all physically tendered old Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a

22


      book-entry confirmation, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, will be deposited by the eligible guarantor institution with the exchange agent; and

    the applicable certificates for all physically tendered old Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, are received by the exchange agent within five NYSE trading days after the date of signing the notice of guaranteed delivery.

Withdrawal Rights

    Tenders of old Notes may be withdrawn at any time before the close of business on the expiration date.

    For a withdrawal to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent at one of the addresses set forth below under "—Exchange Agent." Notice may be sent by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery. Any notice of withdrawal must:

    specify the name of the person who tendered the old Notes to be withdrawn;

    identify the amount of the old Notes;

    where certificates for old Notes have been transmitted, specify the name in which the old Notes are registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder; and

    state that such holder of the old Notes is withdrawing his election to have such old Notes tendered.

    If certificates for old Notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, before the release of the certificates the withdrawing holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn and a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution unless the holder is an eligible guarantor institution. If old Notes have been tendered under the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility to be credited with the withdrawn old Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of the facility. We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility and time of receipt of the notices, and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any old Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any old Notes that have been tendered for exchange, but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to the holder without cost to the holder as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. In the case of old Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at the book-entry transfer facility under the book-entry transfer procedures described above, the old Notes will be credited to an account with the book-entry transfer facility specified by the holder. Properly withdrawn old Notes may be re- tendered by following one of the procedures described under "—Procedures For Tendering Old Notes" above at any time on or before the expiration date.

Fees and Expenses

    We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer and holders who tender old Notes will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees.

    We will pay the expenses that will be incurred in connection with the exchange offer. We estimate the expenses will be approximately $300,000.

Accounting Treatment

    For accounting purposes, we will recognize no gain or loss as a result of the exchange offer. The expenses of the exchange offer will be amortized over the term of the new Notes.

Transfer Taxes

    Holders who instruct us to register new Notes in the name of a person other than the registered tendering holder will be responsible for paying any applicable transfer tax, as will holders who request that old Notes not tendered or not accepted in the exchange offer be returned to a person other than the registered tendering holder. In all other cases, no transfer taxes will be due.

Regulatory Matters

    We are not aware of any governmental or regulatory approvals that are required in order to complete the exchange offer.

Resales of the New Notes

    With respect to resales of new Notes, based on certain interpretive letters issued by the Staff of the SEC to third parties, we believe that a holder of Notes (other than (i) a broker-dealer who purchased old Notes directly from us to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act or (ii) a person who is an affiliate of ours or our Guarantors within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) who exchanges old Notes for new Notes in the ordinary course of business and who is not participating, does not intend to participate, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the new Notes, will be allowed to resell the new Notes to the public without further registration under the Securities Act and without delivering to the purchasers of the new Notes a prospectus that satisfies the requirements of the

24


Securities Act. However, a broker-dealer who holds old Notes that were acquired for its own account as a result of market making or other trading activities may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act. For a period of 180 days from the expiration of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. If any other holder is deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act or acquires new Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing or participating in a distribution of the new Notes, such holder must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction, unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

    Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary. Old Notes that are not exchanged for new Notes will remain outstanding, continue to accrue interest and will be restricted securities. Accordingly, those old Notes may only be transferred:

    to a person who the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A under the Securities Act;

    in an offshore transaction under Rule 903 or Rule 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act;

    under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available);

    to an institutional accredited investor in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; or

    pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;

and in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States. Following the consummation of the exchange offer, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries will have any further obligation to such holders to provide for registration under the Securities Act, except that under certain circumstances, we are required to file a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act. See "REGISTRATION RIGHTS."

Payment of Additional Interest Upon Registration Defaults

    If we fail to meet our obligations to complete the exchange offer or file a shelf registration statement, additional interest will accrue on the Notes. For additional information regarding payments of additional interest, please see "REGISTRATION RIGHTS."

Use of Proceeds

    We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the new Notes or the closing of the exchange offer.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW NOTES

General

    The new Notes are a series of senior debt securities ("Debt Securities") under an Indenture dated as of July 18, 2001, as supplemented and amended from time to time (the "Indenture"), among us, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the "Trustee"). We have summarized selected provisions of the Indenture and the registration rights agreement below. This summary is not complete and is qualified by reference to provisions of the Indenture and the registration rights agreement, copies of which can be obtained as set forth under the caption "WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION".

    In this section, references to "Univision," "we," "our" and "us" mean Univision Communications Inc. excluding, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used in this section but not otherwise defined below have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

    The registered holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered holders will have rights under the Indenture.

Brief Description of the Notes and the Guarantees

    The Notes

    The Notes:

    are our senior unsecured obligations;

    are equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured Indebtedness;

    are senior in right of payment to any of our future subordinated Indebtedness; and

    are unconditionally guaranteed by all of our Guarantors.

    The Indenture does not limit our ability to incur Indebtedness or require the maintenance of financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity. However, the Indenture restricts our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to enter into certain transactions. See the discussion below under the caption entitled "—Certain Covenants". The Indenture does not contain any provisions which would require us to repurchase or redeem or otherwise modify the terms of the Notes upon a change of control.

26


    Since the new Notes will constitute separate series of Debt Securities under the Indenture, holders of old Notes who do not exchange such old Notes for new Notes will vote together as a separate series of Debt Securities with holders of such new Notes for all relevant purposes under the Indenture. In that regard, the Indenture requires that certain actions by the holders under such old Notes (including acceleration following an Event of Default) must be taken, and certain rights must be exercised, by specified minimum percentages of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. In determining whether holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the Notes have given any notice, consent or waiver or taken any other action permitted under the Indenture, any old Notes that remain outstanding after the exchange offer will be aggregated with the new Notes and the holders of the old Notes and the new Notes will vote together as a single series for all purposes. Accordingly, all references in this section will be deemed to mean, at any time after the exchange offer is consummated, the requisite percentage in aggregate principal amount of the old Notes and the new Notes.

    The Guarantees

    The Notes are guaranteed by all of our Guarantors. These subsidiary guarantees are joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its subsidiary guarantee is limited as necessary to prevent that subsidiary guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "RISK FACTORS—Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void the guarantees of the Notes".

    Each subsidiary guarantee of the Notes:

    is a senior unsecured obligation of the Guarantor;

    is equal in right of payment to all existing and future senior unsecured Indebtedness of that Guarantor; and

    is senior in right of payment with any future subordinated Indebtedness of that Guarantor.

    Without the consent of the holders of the Notes, a Guarantor may not consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into, any other Person, except if:

    the successor entity will be the Guarantor or a corporation organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and will expressly assume the Guarantor's obligations under the guarantee, the Indenture and the registration rights agreement; and

    immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale, lease or conveyance, no Default or Event of Default exists.

    Subject to those limitations set forth in the Indenture, a trustee may receive from such Guarantor an officer's certificate and an opinion of counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and any such assumption, complies with the provisions of the Indenture.

    Not all of our subsidiaries will guarantee the Notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor subsidiaries, the non-guarantor subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us. The Guarantors generated over 99% of our consolidated revenues in each of the year ended December 31, 2001 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 and held over 99% of our consolidated assets as of each of December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2001.

27


    The Guarantors also guarantee our credit facility. The guarantee of the Notes of any Guarantor will be released when the guarantee of such Guarantor under a Credit Facility, including our current credit facility, is released. The guarantee of the Notes of any Subsidiary will be reinstated if such Subsidiary once again guarantees the obligations of the Company under a Credit Facility.

    The Notes will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future Indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. However, as discussed above, the subsidiary guarantees will rank equal to the existing and future senior unsecured Indebtedness of the Guarantors, and senior to the future subordinated Indebtedness of the Guarantors. Our right to receive assets of any of our subsidiaries upon the subsidiary's liquidation or reorganization (and the consequent right of the holders of the Notes to participate in those assets) will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary's creditors, except to the extent that we are recognized as a creditor of the subsidiary, in which case our claims would still be subordinate in right of payment to any security in the assets of the subsidiary and any Indebtedness of the subsidiary senior to that held by us. At June 30, 2001, our subsidiaries had total consolidated liabilities of approximately $1.163 billion and the Guarantors had total consolidated liabilities of approximately $1.162 billion.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

    The Notes initially have a maximum aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million. The Notes are in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The Notes will mature on July 15, 2011.

    Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 7.85% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on January 15, 2002. We will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding January 1 and July 1.

    Interest on the Notes will accrue from July 18, 2001 or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

    The Bank of New York will initially act as paying agent and registrar. We may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the Notes, and we or any of our Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Additional Securities

    We may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue additional notes ranking equally with the Notes in all respects, including having the same CUSIP number, so that such additional notes shall be consolidated and form a single series of notes with the Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes. No additional securities may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes.

Optional Redemption

    All or a portion of the Notes may be redeemed at our option at any time or from time to time. The redemption price for the Notes to be redeemed on any redemption date will be equal to the greater of the following amounts:

    100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on the redemption date; or

    the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed on that redemption date (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual

28


      basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 35 basis points, as determined by the Reference Treasury Dealer (as defined below),

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or before a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Notes and the Indenture. The redemption price will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

    We will mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each registered holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Once notice of redemption is mailed, the Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the redemption date and at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If we elect to redeem all or a portion of the Notes, that redemption will not be conditional upon receipt by the paying agent or the Trustee of monies sufficient to pay the redemption price. See the discussion below under the caption "—Selection and Notice of Redemption".

    Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

    "Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

    "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

    "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (C) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

    "Reference Treasury Dealer" means (A) Goldman, Sachs & Co., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (or their respective affiliates which are Primary Treasury Dealers), and their respective successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), we will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Trustee after consultation with us.

    "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

29


No Mandatory Redemptions or Repurchases

    We are not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes, nor to offer to repurchase any of the Notes upon a change of control or with the proceeds of any asset sales.

Selection and Notice of Redemption

    If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption as follows:

    if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or

    if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.

    No Notes of $1,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days before a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

    If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the holder of Notes upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

Certain Covenants

    Incurrence of Subordinated Indebtedness

    Neither we nor any of the Guarantors will incur any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any of our or such Guarantor's other Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the guarantees, as applicable, on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that none of our or any of the Guarantors' Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any of our or such Guarantor's other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured.

    Liens

    We will not and will not permit any of our Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of our or our Subsidiaries' property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless all payments due under the Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

    Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

    We may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of our assets to, or merge with or into, any other Person, provided, that:

    either Univision will be the continuing corporation, or the successor corporation will be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or

30


      the District of Columbia and will expressly assume, by a supplemental Indenture, executed and delivered to each trustee, in form satisfactory to each trustee, all of our obligations under the Notes, the Indenture and the registration rights agreement; and

    immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale, lease or conveyance, no Default or Event of Default exists.

    Subject to those limitations set forth in the Indenture, a trustee may receive from us an officer's certificate and an opinion of counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and any such assumption, complies with the provisions of the Indenture.

    Additional Subsidiary Guarantees

    If any of our present or future Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor on the date of the Indenture guarantees or otherwise provides direct credit support for borrowings by Univision under a Credit Facility after the date of the Indenture, then that Subsidiary will become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental Indenture and deliver an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee within 10 business days of the date on which it guaranteed or otherwise began providing such direct credit support.

    Sale and Leaseback Transactions

    We will not, and will not permit any of our Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; provided that we or any of our Subsidiaries may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and set forth in an officers' certificate delivered to the Trustee, of the property that is the subject of that sale and leaseback transaction, and if either:

    we or that Subsidiary could have incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to the covenant described above under the caption "—Liens"; or

    we, within 120 days of the effective date of the sale and leaseback transaction, apply an amount not less than the fair market value of such property to one or more of: (a) the optional redemption of some or all of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; (b) the payment or retirement of other funded non-subordinated Indebtedness incurred or assumed by us; or (c) the purchase of other property by us at not more than its fair market value.

Events of Default and Remedies

    Each of the following is an Event of Default:

    default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Special Interest with respect to, the Notes;

    default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;

    failure by us or any of our Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice to comply with any covenant or agreements in the Indenture;

    default under any mortgage, Indenture or instrument (other than USA Indebtedness) under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by us or any of our Subsidiaries, or the payment of which is guaranteed by us or any of our Subsidiaries, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default;

31


      (i)
      is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or premium, if any, on such Indebtedness before the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default"); or

      (ii)
      results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness before its express maturity,

    and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $75 million or more and the Payment Default or such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, or such Indebtedness for money borrowed is not discharged, within 30 days after written notice to us by the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;

    except as permitted by the Indenture, any guarantee of the Notes shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its guarantee of the Notes; and

    certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the Indenture with respect to us, any of our Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of our Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

    In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to us, any of our Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of our Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

    Holders of the Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding Notes is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, interest or Special Interest.

    The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default (i) in the payment of interest or Special Interest on, or the principal of, the Notes or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder affected.

    We are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, we are required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

    None of our or any of our Guarantors' directors, officers, employees, incorporators or stockholders, as such, will have any liability for any of our or such Guarantor's obligations under the Notes, the Indenture or the subsidiary guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

32


Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

    We may, at our option and at any time, elect to have all of our obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their subsidiary guarantees ("Legal Defeasance") except for:

    the rights of holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Special Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

    our obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

    the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and our and the Guarantors' obligations in connection therewith; and

    the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

    In addition, we may, at our option and at any time, elect to have our and our Guarantors' obligations released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under the caption "—Events of Default and Remedies" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

    In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

    we must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, or interest and premium on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and we must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

    in the case of Legal Defeasance, we have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) we have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of the Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, we have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

33


    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which we are or any of our Subsidiaries is a party or by which we are or any of our Subsidiaries is bound;

    we must deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate stating that the deposit was not made by us with the intent of preferring the holders of Notes over our other creditors with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding our creditors or creditors of others; and

    we must deliver to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

    Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes).

    Without the consent of each holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting holder):

    reduce the principal amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

    reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes;

    reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

    waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, or Special Interest, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the Payment Default that resulted from such acceleration);

    make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

    make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest, premium or Special Interest, if any, on the Notes;

    waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note;

    release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its subsidiary guarantee or the Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; or

    make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

34


    Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of Notes, we, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes:

    to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

    to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

    to provide for the assumption of our obligations to holders of Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets;

    to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such holder; or

    to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

Satisfaction and Discharge

    The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued thereunder, when:

    either:

    all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to us, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

    all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and we or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Special Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which we or any Guarantor is a party or by which we or any Guarantor is bound;

    we or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under the Indenture; and

    we have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under the Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, we must deliver an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Concerning the Trustee

    If the Trustee becomes our or any Guarantor's creditor, the Indenture limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; provided,

35


however, that if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue or resign.

    The holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any holder of Notes, unless such holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Additional Information

    Anyone who receives this prospectus may obtain a copy of the Indenture and Registration Rights Agreement without charge by writing to Univision Communications Inc., 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 3050, Los Angeles, California 90067, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

    The New Notes initially will be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below.

    Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for Notes in certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below. See "—Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes". Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in certificated form.

Depository Procedures

    The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC is provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of DTC and are subject to changes by DTC. We take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urges investors to contact DTC or its participants directly to discuss these matters.

    DTC has advised us that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

36


    DTC has also advised us that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

    upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of the appropriate Participants with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and

    ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interest in the Global Notes).

    The laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

    Except as described below, owners of interests in the Global Notes will not have Notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or "holders" thereof under the Indenture for any purpose.

    Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, we and the Trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the Notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the Notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither we, the Trustee nor any agent of us or the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

    any aspect of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any Participant's or Indirect Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or

    any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

    DTC has advised us that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the Notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of Notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the Trustee or us. Neither we nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the Notes, and we and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

    DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of Notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the Notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended Notes in certificated form, and to distribute such Notes to its Participants.

37


Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

    A Global Note is exchangeable for definitive Notes in registered certificated form ("Certificated Notes") if:

    DTC: (a) notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and we fail to appoint a successor depositary or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act;

    we, at our option, notify the Trustee in writing that we elect to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or

    there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes upon prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the Indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

Same Day Settlement and Payment

    We will make payments in respect of the Notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, interest and Special Interest, if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holder. We will make all payments of principal, interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, with respect of the Notes represented by the Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder's registered address. The new Notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such Notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. We expect that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

Governing Law

    The Indenture and the Notes will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State New York.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

    Based on existing interpretations of the Securities Act by the staff of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance (the "Staff") set forth in several no-action letters to third parties, and subject to the immediately following sentence, we believe that the new Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by the holders thereof (other than holders who are broker-dealers) without further compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act (subject to certain representations required to be made by each holder of the Notes, as described above). However, any purchaser of Notes (A) who is an affiliate of us or the Guarantors (B) who did not acquire the new Notes to be received in the ordinary course of business or (C) who intends to participate in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing new Notes, or any broker-dealer who purchased Notes to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act (x) will not be able to rely on the interpretation of the Staff set forth in the above-mentioned no-action letters, (y) will not be entitled to tender its Notes in the exchange offer and (z) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any sale or transfer of the Notes unless such sale or transfer is made pursuant to an exemption from such requirements. We do not intend to seek our own no-action

42


letter, and there can be no assurance that the Staff would make a similar determination with respect to the new Notes as it has in such no-action letters issued to other parties.

    Any holder (other than certain specified holders) who wishes to exchange old Notes for new Notes in the exchange offer will be required to represent that (i) it is not an affiliate of us or the Guarantors or if it is an affiliate, that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (ii) the new Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business and (iii) at the time of the exchange offer, it has no arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the new Notes. In addition, in connection with any resales of new Notes, any broker-dealer who acquired the Notes for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act. The SEC has taken the position that participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the new Notes with this prospectus. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, Univision and the Guarantors are required to allow participating broker-dealers and other persons, if any, subject to similar prospectus delivery requirements to use this prospectus in connection with the resale of the new Notes.

    If this exchange offer is not available to any holder of Notes, we and the Guarantors shall file under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but no later than 30 days after the time such obligation to file arises, a "shelf" registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the holders of, all of the Notes, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any similar rule that may be adopted by the SEC (such filing, the "Shelf Registration" and such registration statement, the "Shelf Registration Statement").

    In the event that (i) we and the Guarantors have not filed the Shelf Registration Statement on or before the date on which such registration statement is required to be filed pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) such Shelf Registration Statement has not become effective or been declared effective by the SEC on or before the date on which such registration statement is required to become or be declared effective pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement or (iii) the Shelf Registration Statement required by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn by us or the Guarantors or shall become subject to an effective stop order issued pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement (except as specifically permitted by the Registration Rights Agreement) without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), a "Registration Default"), then, as liquidated damages for such Registration Default, subject to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, special interest ("Special Interest"), in addition to the interest that would otherwise accrue on the Notes, shall accrue on the Notes that are then not transferable without restriction under the Securities Act, at an annual rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default period, 0.50% for the second 90 days of the registration Default period, 0.75% for the third 90 days of the Registration Default period and 1.0% thereafter. Special Interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue (A) in the case of clause (i) above, upon the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement, (B) in the case of clause (ii) above, upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, (C) in the case of clause (iii) above, upon the cessation of the stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement and (D) other than with respect to a holder that is an affiliate of Univision, upon the expiration of two years (or such shorter period as may be prescribed by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or any successor provision thereof) commencing on July 18, 2001.

43


    In the event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to the information required to be provided by each electing holder in its notice questionnaire, we and the Guarantors may require such electing holder to furnish to us such additional information regarding such electing holder and such electing holder's intended method of distribution of Notes as may be required in order to comply with the Securities Act. Each such electing holder agrees to notify us as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by such electing holder to us or the occurrence of any event in either case as a result of which any prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such electing holder or such electing holder's intended method of disposition of such Notes or omits to state any material fact regarding such electing holder or such electing holder's intended method of disposition of such Notes required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish to us any additional information required to correct and update any previously furnished information or required so that such prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such election holder or the disposition of such Notes, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

    Each holder will be required to deliver information to be used in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, if any, in order to be entitled to be named as a selling security holder in the Shelf Registration Statement. A holder that sells Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement generally will be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers and will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales.


CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

    The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal tax consequences applicable to the exchange of old Notes for new Notes in the exchange offer and the beneficial ownership and disposition of new Notes. This summary does not discuss tax considerations applicable to subsequent purchasers of new Notes. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), regulations issued thereunder, and rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change may adversely affect the federal tax consequences described herein.

    Except as specifically discussed below regarding Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below), this summary applies only to U.S. Holders (as defined below) that are beneficial owners of old or new Notes, and that hold old Notes and will hold new Notes as "capital assets" (within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code). This summary does not address tax considerations applicable to an investor's particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules such as (a) financial institutions, (b) holders subject to the alternative minimum tax, (c) tax-exempt organizations, (d) regulated investment companies, (e) insurance companies, (f) U.S. expatriates, (g) investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, (h) dealers in securities or currencies, (i) persons that will hold notes as a position in a hedging transaction, "straddle" or "conversion transaction" for tax purposes, or (j) persons deemed to sell notes under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.

    For purposes of this summary, a U.S. Holder means a beneficial owner of an old Note or a new Note that is:

    (1)
    an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

    (2)
    a corporation or partnership (or any other entity treated as a corporation or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in the U.S. or any state or political subdivision thereof;

44


    (3)
    an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

    (4)
    a trust, if a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

    A Non-U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of an old Note or a new Note that is not a U.S. Holder.

    CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS OF OLD NOTES AND NEW NOTES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE OF THE OLD NOTES FOR NEW NOTES AND OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF NEW NOTES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Exchange Offer

    The exchange of old Notes for new Notes pursuant to the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders will not recognize any taxable gain or loss as a result of such exchange and will have the same tax basis and holding period in the new Notes as they had in the old Notes immediately before the exchange.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Holding New Notes

    Treatment of Interest.  Interest paid on the new Notes will be included in the income of a U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income at the time the interest is accrued or received, in accordance with the holder's regular method of accounting.

    Market Discount.  If a U.S. Holder holds old Notes that were acquired at a price below their stated redemption price at maturity by more than a de minimis amount (generally 0.25% of the stated redemption price multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity), the amount of the difference is treated as "market discount." When old Notes with market discount are exchanged for new Notes, the market discount will carry over to the new Notes, and any gain on the subsequent sale, exchange or retirement of the new Notes, or any principal payment on the new Notes, will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income, unless the U.S. Holder elects to accrue market discount in income on a current basis (the "current income election"). Market discount is normally accrued on a straight-line basis, but U.S. Holders may elect to use a constant yield method of accrual instead. A U.S. Holder that does not make the current income election will be required to defer deductions for a portion of its interest expense on any indebtedness incurred to purchase the old Notes that were exchanged or to carry the new Notes.

    Amortization of Bond Premium. A U.S. Holder whose tax basis immediately after its acquisition of new Notes exceeds the sum of all remaining payments other than qualified stated interest payable on the Notes will be considered to have purchased such notes with "bond premium" equal in amount to such excess. Such U.S. Holders may elect to amortize the bond premium by offsetting it against qualified stated interest income. The offset will be calculated for each accrual period using constant yield principles, but the offset for an accrual period will be taken into account only when the U.S. Holders take the corresponding qualified stated interest income into account under their regular method of accounting. If the amount of bond premium available for offset on a new Note is greater than the corresponding amount of qualified stated interest, the excess bond premium will be allowed as a deduction to the extent the U.S. Holder included in income in prior accrual periods interest income in excess of bond premium deductions with respect to the Note. Excess bond premium not allowed as a deduction will carry forward to future accrual periods.

45


Sale or Other Disposition of New Notes

    Upon the sale, retirement or other taxable disposition of a new Note, a U.S. Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between (a) the amount of the cash and the fair market value of any property received on the sale, retirement or other taxable disposition (not including any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest or accrued market discount not previously included in income) and (b) the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the new Note. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in a new Note generally will be equal to the cost of the Note to such U.S. Holder, increased by the amount of any market discount previously included in income by the U.S. Holder and reduced by the amount of any payments received by the U.S. Holder, other than payments of qualified stated interest, and by the amount of amortizable bond premium taken into account. Subject to the discussion of market discount above, gain or loss realized on the sale, retirement or other taxable disposition of a new Note will be capital gain or loss.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

    Subject to the discussion of backup withholding below:

    Payments of principal and interest on a new Note to a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, provided that, in the case of interest:

    1.
    the payments are not effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business;

    2.
    the Non-U.S. Holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Univision stock entitled to vote;

    3.
    the Non-U.S. Holder is not (a) a controlled foreign corporation related to Univision through stock ownership, (b) a bank receiving interest pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, or (c) a foreign tax exempt organization or a foreign private foundation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

    4.
    before payment, a statement (generally made on a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN) is received certifying that the beneficial owner of the new Note is not a U.S. person.

      A 30% withholding tax will generally apply to payments of interest on a new Note to a Non-U.S. Holder unless (a) the above conditions are satisfied, or (b) an applicable income tax treaty reduces or eliminates such tax or the interest is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of such Non-U.S. Holder, and the Non-U.S. Holder provides an appropriate statement to that effect (generally, a properly completed and duly executed W-8BEN or W-8ECI, respectively). If the interest is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder, such holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to all income from new Notes at the rates applicable to U.S. taxpayers, and if such Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, it could be subject to a branch profits tax on all or a portion of such income.

    A Non-U.S. Holder of a Note will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or retirement of a new Note unless:

    1.
    the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder; or

    2.
    the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year and certain other conditions are met.

46


    A new Note held by the estate of an individual, who at the time of death is not a citizen or resident of the U.S. (as defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes), will not be included in the estate of such individual for U.S. federal estate tax purposes unless:

    1.
    the individual actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of Univision entitled to vote; or

    2.
    the interest received on the new Note is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

U.S. Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding Tax

    We will report to the holders and the IRS the amount of any interest paid on the new Notes in each calendar year and the amounts of tax withheld, if any, with respect to the payments where required.

    A U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax with respect to interest payments made on the new Notes and gross proceeds from the sale, exchange or retirement of the new Notes unless the U.S. Holder is an "exempt recipient" (such as, generally, corporations, tax-exempt organizations, qualified pension and profit sharing trusts, and individual retirement accounts), or provides a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9, which identifies the U.S. Holder, shows the U.S. Holder's taxpayer identification number, and certifies that the U.S. Holder is not subject to backup withholding.

    A Non-U.S. Holder who has provided the form and certifications mentioned above or who has otherwise established an exemption will generally not be subject to backup withholding tax if neither Univision nor its agent has actual knowledge or reason to know that any information in those forms and certifications is unreliable or that the conditions of the exemption are in fact not satisfied.

    The payment of proceeds to a Non-U.S. Holder from the sale or other disposition of a new Note to or through a foreign office of a broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, information reporting, but not backup withholding, may apply to those payments if the broker is one of the following:

    (1)
    a U.S. person;

    (2)
    a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. tax purposes;

    (3)
    a foreign person, 50 percent or more of whose gross income from all sources for the three-year period ending with the close of its taxable year preceding the payment was effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business; or

    (4)
    a foreign partnership with specified connections to the U.S.

    The payment of proceeds to a Non-U.S. Holder from a sale or other disposition of a new Note to or through the U.S. office of a broker is subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the holder or beneficial owner provides the certifications described above or otherwise establishes an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

    Under current law, the backup withholding rate is 30.5%. Pursuant to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, the backup withholding rate will be gradually reduced each year until 2006, when the backup withholding rate will be 28%.

    Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a holder of a new Note will be allowed as a refund or credit against such holder's U.S. federal income tax provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

47


    THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. ACCORDINGLY, EACH CURRENT OR PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXCHANGING OLD NOTES FOR NEW NOTES, AND HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF THE NEW NOTES. TAX ADVISORS SHOULD ALSO BE CONSULTED AS TO THE U.S. ESTATE AND GIFT TAX CONSEQUENCES, BACKUP WITHHOLDING TAX CONSEQUENCES AND THE FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXCHANGING OLD NOTES FOR NEW NOTES, AND HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF THE NEW NOTES, AS WELL AS THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

    Each Participating Broker-Dealer that receives new Notes for its own account in the exchange offer must acknowledge that it acquired the old Notes for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities and must agree that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the new Notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a Participating Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. See "REGISTRATION RIGHTS." A Participating Broker-Dealer may use this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, in connection with resales of new Notes received in exchange for old Notes, where the old Notes, as the case may be, were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed that for a period of 180 calendar days after the Expiration Date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any Participating Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any resale of new Notes.

    We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of the new Notes by any Participating Broker-Dealer. New Notes received by Participating Broker-Dealers for their own account in the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new Notes, as the case may be, or a combination of the methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such Participating Broker-Dealer and/or the purchasers of the new Notes. Any Participating Broker-Dealer that resells new Notes that were received by it for its own account in the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of the new Notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any resale of new Notes and any commissions or concessions received by those persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a Participating Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

    For a period of 180 calendar days after closing of the exchange offer, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any Participating Broker-Dealer that requests the documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to our performance of, or compliance with, the Registration Rights Agreement and all expenses incident to the exchange offer, including the expenses of one counsel for the holders of the old Notes, but excluding commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers, and will indemnify the holders, including any broker-dealers, and certain parties related to the holders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

48


    We have not entered into any arrangements or understandings with any person to distribute the new Notes to be received in the exchange offer.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

    Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors shall not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that exemption from such liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under Delaware law, liability of a director may not be limited (a) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases and (d) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. The effect of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation is to eliminate the rights of us and our stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on our behalf) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except in the situations described in clauses (a) through (d) above. This provision does not limit or eliminate our rights or the rights of any stockholder to seek nonmonetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents against losses incurred by any such person because such person was acting in such capacity.

    We have entered into contracts with each of our directors, officers, employees and agents pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify such director, officer, employee and/or agent against all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in or arising out of such person's capacity as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of us or any other corporation of which such person is a director or officer at our request to the maximum extent provided by applicable law. In addition, such director, officer, employee and/or agent is entitled to an advance of expenses to the maximum extent authorized or permitted by law.

    To the extent that our board of directors or our stockholders wish to limit or repeal our ability to provide indemnification as set forth in our certificate of incorporation, such repeal or limitation may not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification of such director, officer, employee or agent or our obligations arising thereunder with respect to any action, suit or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, any actions, transactions or facts occurring before the final adoption of such modification or repeal. It is anticipated that similar contracts may be entered into, from time to time, with our future directors and officers.

Item 22. Undertakings

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

  (A)(1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
    (i)
    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act, unless the information required to be included in such post-effective amendment is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and incorporated herein by reference;

    (ii)
    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, unless the information required to be included in such post-effective amendment is contained in a periodic report filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

    (iii)
    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bone fide offering thereof.

(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

51


    The undersigned hereby undertakes:

    (B)(1)  That before any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through the use of a prospects which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c) under the Securities Act, the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

    (2) That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, will be filed as part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (C) The undersigned hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in the documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

    (D) The undersigned hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

    (E) The registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (F) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(xii)

 

The issuance and sale of the Securities or the Exchange Securities or the consummation by the Company or the Guarantors of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement will not violate the current Delaware General Corporation Law or any current California, New York or Federal statute, rule or regulation that such counsel has, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as applicable to the Company or any of the Guarantors or to the transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement, the Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement, except such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under states or foreign securities or blue sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Purchasers (it being understood that such counsel need express no opinion with respect to Section 8 of this Agreement of Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement);

(xiv)

 

The statements in the Offering Circular under the caption "Description of Notes", insofar as they purport to constitute a summary of the terms of the Securities, and under the captions "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" and "Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations", insofar as they purport to summarize the provisions of laws and documents referred to therein, are accurate in all material respects;

(xvi)

 

Based upon the representations as to matters of fact, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Guarantors in Sections 1 and 5 of this Agreement and of the Purchasers in Section 3 of this Agreement (including Annex 1) and on the truth and accuracy of the representations and agreements made or deemed to be made by the purchasers of the Securities contained in the Offering Circular, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities to the Purchasers under this Agreement or in connection with the initial resale of such Securities by the Purchasers in accordance with this Agreement to register the Securities under the Act or to qualify the Indenture under the United States Trust Indenture Act of 1939; provided, however, that such counsel need express no opinion with respect to the conditions under which the Securities may be further resold; and

(xvii)

 

Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors is an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

    In addition, such counsel shall state that in connection with such counsel's participation in conferences in connection with preparation of the Offering Circular, such counsel has not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or incorporated therein, and the limitations inherent in the examination made by such counsel and the knowledge available to such counsel are such that such counsel is unable to assume, and does not assume, any responsibility for such accuracy, completeness or fairness (except as otherwise specifically stated in paragraph (xiv) above). However, such counsel shall state that on the basis of such counsel's review of the Offering Circular and the documents incorporated by reference therein and its participation in conferences in connection with the preparation of the Offering Circular, such counsel does not believe that the Offering Circular and the documents incorporated therein, considered as a whole, as of its date or on the date of the opinion, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (however, such counsel need express no opinion or belief as to the financial statements and other financial information contained or incorporated by reference in the Offering Circular or in the documents incorporated therein by reference);

    (i) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Offering Circular any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Offering Circular, and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Offering Circular there shall not have

14


      been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders' equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Offering Circular, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in the judgment of the Representative so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and in the Offering Circular;

    (f)
    On or after the date hereof (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Company's or any of the Guarantors' debt securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization", as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company's or any of the Guarantors' debt securities;

    (h)
    The Securities have been designated for trading on PORTAL;

    (i)
    The Company and the Guarantors shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to you at the Time of Delivery certificates of officers of the Company and the Guarantors satisfactory to you as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors herein at and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Company and the Guarantors of all of its obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery, as to the matters set forth in subsections (e) and (f) of this Section and as to such other matters as you may reasonably request; and

    (j)
    The New Credit Facility shall have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, the Guarantors and each of their subsidiaries that is a party thereto. The Company shall have consummated the transactions contemplated by the New Credit Facility, including the repayment in full of the obligations outstanding under and the termination of the Credit Agreement dated as of September 26, 1996 among the Company, the lenders party thereto, Banque Paribas and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as managing agents, and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as administrative agent, as amended, and the Purchasers shall have received copies of counterparts, conformed as executed thereof and of all other documents and agreements entered into in connection therewith.

8.
(a) The Company and each of the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue

15


    statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use therein; and provided, further, that with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Offering Circular, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Purchaser from whom the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the Securities concerned if the Offering Circular corrected any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and the Company provided such Purchaser with a sufficient number of copies of such corrected Offering Circular pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof and such Purchaser did not deliver a copy of the Offering Circular to such person.

    (b)
    Each Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or the Guarantors may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Offering Circular or the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser through Goldman, Sachs & Co. expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and the Guarantors for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

    (c)
    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred

16


      by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

    (d)
    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then, except to the extent (but only to the extent) that the indemnifying party suffers actual prejudice as a result of any failure by the indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party of any action as required by subsection (c) above, each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then, except to the extent (but only to the extent) that the indemnifying party suffers actual prejudice as a result of any failure by the indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party of any action as required by subsection (c) above, each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers, in each case as set forth in the Offering Circular. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantors on the one hand or the Purchasers on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantors and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to investors were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such

17


      untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The Purchasers' obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

    (e)
    The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or the Guarantors may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Purchasers under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company or the Guarantors and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of the Act.

9.
(a) If any Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Purchaser you do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Offering Circular, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to prepare promptly any amendments to the Offering Circular which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term "Purchaser" as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.

(b)
If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.

(c)
If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Purchasers to purchase Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company or the Guarantors, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, the Guarantors and the Purchasers as provided in Section 6 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.

18


10.
The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors and the several Purchasers, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any controlling person of any Purchaser, the Guarantors or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

11.
If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof, neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall then be under any liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof; but, if for any other reason, the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Purchasers through you for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Purchasers in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities, but neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall then be under no further liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof.

12.
In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Purchasers, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Purchaser made or given by you jointly or by Goldman, Sachs & Co. on behalf of you as the representative.

    All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Purchasers shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the representative in care of Goldman, Sachs & Co., 32 Old Slip, 21st Floor, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Registration Department; and if to the Company or the Guarantors shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Offering Circular, Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to a Purchaser pursuant to Section 8(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Purchaser at its address set forth in its Purchasers' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by you upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

13.
This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Purchasers, the Company, the Guarantors and, to the extent provided in Sections 8 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company or the Guarantors and each person who controls the Company, the Guarantors or any Purchaser, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Purchaser shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

14.
Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

15.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

16.

ANNEX I

    (1)  The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Regulation S under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. Each Purchaser represents that it has offered and sold the Securities, and will offer and sell the Securities (i) as part of their distribution at any time and (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the Time of Delivery, only in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S, Rule 144A or pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Annex I under the Act. Accordingly, each Purchaser agrees that neither it, its affiliates nor any persons acting on its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Securities, and it and they have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. Each Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of sale of Securities (other than a sale pursuant to Rule 144A) or pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Annex I, it will have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Securities from it during the restricted period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

        "The Securities covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and may not be offered and sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the closing date, except in either case in accordance with Regulation S (or Rule 144A if available) under the Securities Act. Terms used above have the meaning given to them by Regulation S."

    Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.

    Each Purchaser further agrees that it has not entered and will not enter into any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution or delivery of the Securities, except with its affiliates or with the prior written consent of the Company.

    In addition,

    (A)
    except to the extent permitted under U.S. Treas. Reg. § 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D) (the "D Rules"), (i) each Purchaser agrees that it has not offered or sold, and during the restricted period will not offer or sell, Securities in bearer form to a person who is within the United States or its possessions or to a U.S. person, and (ii) it has not delivered and will not deliver within the United States or its possessions definitive Securities in bearer form that are sold during the restricted period;

    (B)
    each Purchaser represents and agrees that it has, and throughout the restricted period will have, in effect procedures reasonably designed to ensure that its employees or agents who are directly engaged in selling Securities in bearer form are aware that such Securities may not be offered or sold during the restricted period to a person who is within the United States or its possessions or to a United States person, except as permitted by the D Rules;

    (C)
    if it is a United States person, each such Purchaser represents that it is acquiring the Securities in bearer form for purposes of resale in connection with their original issuance and if it retains Securities in bearer form for its own account, it will only do so in accordance with the requirements of U.S. Treas. Reg. § 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(6); and

    (D)
    with respect to each affiliate that acquires from it Securities in bearer form for the purpose of offering or selling such Securities during the restricted period, such Purchaser either (i) repeats and confirms the representations and agreements contained in clauses (A), (B) and (C) on its behalf or (ii) agrees that it will obtain from such affiliate for the Company's benefit the representations and agreements contained in clauses (A), (B) and (C).

Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by the United States Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder, including the D Rules.


    (2)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Securities in registered form may be offered, sold and delivered by the Purchasers in the United States and to U.S. persons pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement without delivery of the written statement required by paragraph (1) above.

    (3)  Each Purchaser further represents and agrees that (i) it has not offered or sold and prior to the date six months after the date of issue of the Securities will not offer or sell any Securities to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995, (b) it has complied, and will comply, with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services Act of 1986 of Great Britain with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Securities in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom, and (c) it has only issued or passed on and will only issue or pass on in the United Kingdom any document received by it in connection with the issuance of the Securities to a person who is of a kind described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Act 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1996 of Great Britain or is a person to whom the document may otherwise lawfully be issued or passed on.

    (4)  Each Purchaser agrees that it will not offer, sell or deliver any of the Securities in any jurisdiction outside the United States except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable laws thereof, and that it will take at its own expense whatever action is required to permit its purchase and resale of the Securities in such jurisdictions. Each Purchaser understands that no action has been taken to permit a public offering in any jurisdiction outside the United States where action would be required for such purpose. Each Purchaser agrees not to cause any advertisement of the Securities to be published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and not to issue any circular relating to the Securities, except in any such case with Goldman, Sachs & Co.'s express written consent and then only at its own risk and expense.

ANNEX II

    Shaw Pittman FCC Opinion

July      , 2001

Goldman Sachs & Co.
As representative of the several
  Purchasers referred to below,
2121 Avenue of the Stars
Suite 2600
Los Angeles, CA 90067

Re: Univision Communications Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    We have acted as special communications counsel for Univision Communications Inc. (the "Company"), and each of the entities listed on Attachment A hereto (each a "Guarantor" and collectively, the "Guarantors") and have represented the Company and the Guarantors as Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") counsel only, in connection with the Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement"), dated as of             ,  among the Company, the Purchasers named in Schedule I thereto (the "Purchasers"), and Goldman Sachs & Co. as representative of the Purchasers. This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Purchase Agreement.

    In rendering this opinion, we are engaged and acting solely as special communications counsel for the Company and its Guarantors, and we are not engaged or acting as counsel of any type for you or any other person or entity. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have its respective meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement. When used herein, "or" shall mean "and/or" unless the context otherwise requires.

    This opinion is limited strictly to matters arising under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the published rules, regulations, and policies promulgated thereunder by the FCC (collectively, "Communications Laws"), and we express no opinion on any other matter whatsoever. Furthermore, this opinion is limited to the opinions expressly stated herein. No implication shall be drawn from anything herein that has the effect of extending any such opinion beyond what is expressly stated in such opinion.

    In connection with the issuance of this letter, we have examined only publicly available records of the FCC regarding the Stations (as defined below) located at the FCC's principal offices in Washington, D.C, which we examined during a period commencing on              , 2001 and ending on              , 2001 (the "Examination Time"). In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the absence of changes in such records since our examination of them. We have examined no other records. With respect to questions of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed and relied upon, without independent inquiry or verification by us, the accuracy and completeness of: (a) all statements, certifications, representations, and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement, (b) all verbal confirmations, if any, by FCC staff members regarding outstanding complaints, if any, pending before the FCC with respect to the Stations; and (c) all information located in the publicly available files of the FCC in Washington, D.C. (such FCC information, "FCC Review Materials"). We have not examined or investigated the records that may be available in any other office of the FCC. You should be aware that certain records of the FCC, such as those subject to the federal Freedom of Information Act, are public as a matter of law. Such records, however, may not have been included in the FCC Review Materials at the time that we examined those materials in connection with this opinion. Accordingly, we express no opinion regarding the completeness of the FCC Review Materials at the time we reviewed them. Furthermore, there may be records of matters pending at the FCC that were not available for inspection by the public as a matter of law and that, therefore, we did not examine.

    We have examined an unexecuted copy of the Purchase Agreement dated as of        , 2001, as provided to us. In rendering this opinion, we have assumed without investigation the genuineness of all


signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents examined by us, whether or not they are originals, the conformity of all copies or facsimile transmissions to the originals of the same, whether or not they are certified to be true copies, the conformity of all unexecuted documents presented to us as final versions thereof to the executed originals of the same, the accuracy and completeness of all public records, including but not limited to those of the FCC, and the absence of changes through the date hereof in the FCC records that we examined during the Examination Time.

    The opinions expressed in this letter are based upon the current law and facts presently known to us, and are not guarantees or assurances of any future fact, event, occurrence, omission, or condition or that any law, statute, rule, regulation, policy, order, case, or interpretation of the same will not change in the future. Moreover, this letter expresses opinions only as of the date of this letter and we specifically disclaim all responsibility whatsoever for advising you of changes in matters addressed herein occurring after such date.

    We have undertaken no on-site inspection or visual or aural monitoring whatsoever of the Company or the Guarantors, properties of the Company or the Guarantors, or the Stations, and, except as otherwise specifically stated herein, we have undertaken no independent inquiry whatsoever of any of the matters addressed in this opinion. Furthermore, we have no firsthand knowledge of the citizenship, attributable or non-attributable media interests, or character or other qualifications under the Communications Laws of the Company or the Guarantors, their principals, or any other person or entity having any present or proposed connection with the Company or the Guarantors, and therefore express no opinion with respect thereto.

    As used in this letter, the phrases "our knowledge," "known to us," or "we are presently aware" or similar phrases mean the current actual knowledge, that is, the conscious awareness of facts or other information, of lawyers currently affiliated with this firm who have given substantive legal attention to representation of the Company or the Guarantors in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Agreement, including but not limited to the preparation of this letter, but except as otherwise expressly stated herein, we have undertaken no investigation with respect to such facts or information.

    We express no opinion whatsoever in this letter as to your qualifications under the Communications Laws, or such qualifications of your assigns, if any, to have an ownership interest in or to control, directly or indirectly, any license or other authorization issued by the FCC or any person or entity holding such license or authorization. Moreover, the Company holds certain attributable interests in Entravision Communications Corporation, an entity that directly or indirectly owns and operates broadcast stations subject to the jurisdiction of the FCC. We express no opinion whatsoever in this letter as to any matters affecting Entravision Communications Corporation or the Company's interest in it.

    Based upon the foregoing, and subject in all respects to the qualifications and limitations set forth in this letter and in reliance on the January 26, 1996 Report of the Subcommittee on Legal Opinions of the Transactional Practice Committee of the Federal Communications Bar Association ("FCBA Accord"), we are of the opinion that:

1.
Except as set forth in Attachment B hereto, the entities identified in Attachment A hereto hold the FCC licenses and authorizations for the full power and low power television stations specified on Attachment B (the "UCI Stations"). Except as noted on Attachment B hereto, Attachment B includes all FCC licenses, permits or authorizations necessary for the entities identified as licensees on Attachment B to operate the class of station identified on Attachment B to serve the community of license identified on Attachment B. Except as noted in Attachment B hereto, all of the FCC licenses, permits or authorizations identified in Attachment B hereto are in full force and effect.

2.
Except as set forth in Attachment B hereto, and for rulemaking proceedings or similar proceedings of or orders of general applicability to entities such as the Company or its Affiliates or to facilities

    such as the UCI Stations, to our knowledge, there is not now issued, pending, or overtly threatened in writing any judgment, decree, order, action, investigation, or proceeding by the FCC against the Company or any of its Affiliates or the Stations that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company, its Affiliates or the Stations.

3.
The execution, delivery, and performance in accordance with its terms of the Purchase Agreement by the Company and each Guarantor that is a party thereto does not require any authorization, consent, approval, or filing of or with the FCC not previously obtained or made, and does not violate the Communications Laws, except that (a) copies of certain documents, including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement, may be required to be filed with the FCC pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 73.3613, (b) from time to time, the Company and its affiliates may be required to obtain certain authorizations from or to make certain filings with the FCC that would be required in their ordinary course of business, (c) in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Purchase Agreement by you, or your assigns, if any, that involves disposition of voting stock in the Company, its affiliates or the Guarantors, the Communications Laws may require that such disposition be accomplished by public or private arm's-length sale or other means acceptable to the FCC, and (d) prior to exercise of any rights or remedies under the Purchase Agreement by you, or your assigns, if any, which involves the exercise of voting rights of the stock in the Company, an assignment of any of the full or low power television licenses held directly or indirectly by the Company or a transfer of control of the Company, FCC consents and notifications with respect to such exercise may be required to be timely obtained or made; provided, however, that we express no opinion whatsoever as to the likelihood of obtaining such consents.

    This opinion is (i) solely for your information in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement, and that of your permitted assigns under the Purchase Agreement but the opinion speaks only as of its date and your assigns have no greater rights than the named addressee(s), (ii) not to be relied upon by any other person or entity for any reason whatsoever, (iii) not to be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to in any document except as directly a part of and related to such transactions, and (iv), except as otherwise required by applicable law, not to be filed with or provided to any government agency or any other entity or person whatsoever. We hereby consent to reliance hereon by any future participants or assigns of your interest in the Purchase Agreement.

    Very truly yours,

Registration Under the Securities Act.

(a)
Except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Company agrees to file under the Securities Act, as soon as practicable, but no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange (such registration statement, the "Exchange Registration Statement", and such offer, the "Exchange Offer") any and all of the Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities issued by the Company and guaranteed by each of the Guarantors, which debt securities and guarantees are substantially identical to the Securities and the related Guarantees, respectively (and are entitled to the benefits of a trust indenture which is substantially identical to the Indenture or is the Indenture and which has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act), except that they have been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and do not contain provisions for the additional interest contemplated in Section 2(c) below (such new debt securities hereinafter called "Exchange Securities"). The Company agrees to use its

3


      reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but no later than 150 days after the Closing Date. The Exchange Offer will be registered under the Securities Act on the appropriate form and will comply with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act. The Company further agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to commence and complete the Exchange Offer promptly, but no later than 60 days after the Exchange Registration Statement has become effective, hold the Exchange Offer open for at least 20 business days and exchange Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been "completed" only if the debt securities and related guarantees received by holders, other than Restricted Holders, in the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and without material restrictions under the blue sky or securities laws of a substantial majority of the States of the United States of America. The Exchange Offer shall be deemed to have been completed upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Company having exchanged the Exchange Securities for all outstanding Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer and (ii) the Company having exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of the Exchange Offer, which shall be on a date that is at least 20 business days following the commencement of the Exchange Offer. The Company agrees (x) to include in the Exchange Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by any holder of Exchange Securities that is a broker-dealer that holds Registrable Securities for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (a "Participating Broker-Dealer") and (y) to keep such Exchange Registration Statement effective for a period (the "Resale Period") beginning when Exchange Securities are first issued in the Exchange Offer and ending upon the earlier of the expiration of the 180th day after the Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such Participating Broker-Dealers no longer own any Registrable Securities. With respect to such Exchange Registration Statement, such holders shall have the benefit of the rights of indemnification and contribution set forth in Sections 6(a), (c), (d) and (e) hereof.

    (b)
    If (i) on or prior to the time the Exchange Offer is completed existing Commission interpretations are changed such that the debt securities or the related guarantees received by holders other than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are not or would not be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act, (ii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 210 days following the Closing Date or (iii) the Exchange Offer is not available to any holder of the Securities, the Company shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of clause (iii), in addition to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 2(a), file under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but no later than the later of 30 days after the time such obligation to file arises, a "shelf" registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the holders of, all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the "Shelf Registration" and such registration statement, the "Shelf Registration Statement"). The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts (x) to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective no later than 90 days after such Shelf Registration Statement is filed and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending on the earlier of the second anniversary of the Effective Time or such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding, provided, however, that no holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to use the prospectus

4


      forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless such holder is an Electing Holder, and (y) in the event that the Exchange Offer is not completed pursuant to either clause (i) or (ii) above, after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, promptly upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing Holder, to take any action reasonably necessary to enable such holder to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, any action necessary to identify such holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement, provided, however, that nothing in this Clause (y) shall relieve any such holder of the obligation to return a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section 3(d)(iii) hereof. The Company further agrees to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, as and when required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration, and the Company agrees to furnish to each Electing Holder copies of any such supplement or amendment prior to its being used or promptly following its filing with the Commission.

    (c)
    In the event that (i) the Company has not filed the Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement on or before the date on which such registration statement is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b), respectively, or (ii) the Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement has not become effective or been declared effective by the Commission on or before the date on which such registration statement is required to become or be declared effective pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b), respectively, or (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 60 days after the initial effective date of the Exchange Registration Statement relating to the Exchange Offer (if the Exchange Offer is then required to be made) or (iv) any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement required by Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn by the Company or shall become subject to an effective stop order issued pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement (except as specifically permitted herein) without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a "Registration Default" and each period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, a "Registration Default Period"), then, as liquidated damages for such Registration Default, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b), special interest ("Special Interest"), in addition to the Base Interest, shall accrue at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period, at a per annum rate of 0.50% for the second 90 days of the Registration Default Period, at a per annum rate of 0.75% for the third 90 days of the Registration Default Period and at a per annum rate of 1.0% thereafter. Special Interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue (A) in the case of clause (i) above, upon the filing of the Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, (B) in the case of clause (ii) above, upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, (C) in the case of clause (iii) above, upon the completion of the Exchange Offer, (D) in the case of clause (iv) above, upon the cessation of the stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement and (E) other than with respect to a holder that is an affiliate of the Company or a holder that is not otherwise eligible to utilize the provisions of Rule 144k under the Securities Act, upon the expiration of two years (or such shorter period as may be prescribed by paragraph (k) of Rule 144) commencing on the Closing Date.

    (d)
    The Company shall take, and shall cause each of the Guarantors to take, all actions necessary or advisable to be taken by it to ensure that the transactions contemplated herein are effected

5


      as so contemplated, including all actions necessary or desirable to register the Guarantees under the registration statement contemplated in Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, as applicable.

    (e)
    Any reference herein to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time and any reference herein to any post-effective amendment to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time.

3.
Registration Procedures.

    If the Company files a registration statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), the following provisions shall apply:

    (a)
    At or before the Effective Time of the Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration, as the case may be, the Company shall qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

(iv)

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this Section 6, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

    (d)
    Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then, except to the extent (but only to the extent) that the indemnifying party suffers actual prejudice as a result of any failure by the indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party of any action as required by subsection (c) above, each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no holder shall be required to contribute

19


      any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The holders' and any underwriters' obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the principal amount of Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by them and not joint.

    (e)
    Further Liability. The obligations of the Company and each of the Guarantors under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or any of the Guarantors may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director and partner of each holder, agent and underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any holder, agent or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the holders and any agents or underwriters contemplated by this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective holder, agent or underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company or any of the Guarantors (including any person who, with his consent, is named in any registration statement as about to become a director of the Company or any of the Guarantors) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

7.
Underwritten Offerings.
(a)
Selection of Underwriters. If any of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration are to be sold pursuant to an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated by Electing Holders holding at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering, provided that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters is or are reasonably acceptable to the Company.

(b)
Participation by Holders. Each holder of Registrable Securities hereby agrees with each other such holder that no such holder may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such holder (i) agrees to sell such holder's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

8.
Rule 144.

    The Company covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted by the Commission under the Securities Act) and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and shall take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without

20


registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with that holder's sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

9.
Miscellaneous.

(b)
Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Company fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that the Purchasers and such holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.

(c)

All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand, if delivered personally or by courier, or three days after being deposited in the mail (registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows: If to the Company, to it at Univision Communications Inc., 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 3050, Los Angeles, California 90067 to the attention of the General Counsel, and if to a holder, to the address of such holder set forth in the security register or other records of the Company, or to such other address as the Company or any such holder may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

(d)
Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto and such holders. In the event that any transferee of any holder of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such transferee shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the applicable terms and provisions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement. If the Company shall so request, any such successor, assign or transferee shall agree in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the applicable terms hereof.

(e)
Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and each other provision set forth in this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation (or statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any holder of Registrable Securities, any director, officer or partner of such holder, any agent or underwriter or any director, officer or partner

21


      thereof, or any controlling person of any of the foregoing, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the transfer and registration of Registrable Securities by such holder and the consummation of an Exchange Offer.

Each holder of any Registrable Securities at the time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any amendment or waiver effected pursuant to this Section 9(h), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment or waiver appears on such Registrable Securities or is delivered to such holder.

NOTE: SIGNATURES MUST BE PROVIDED BELOW
PLEASE READ ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the principal amount of old Notes indicated above.

    Subject to and effective upon the acceptance for exchange of the principal amount of old Notes tendered hereby in accordance with this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company all right, title and interest in and to the old Notes tendered hereby. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent as its agent and attorney-in-fact (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of the Company and as Trustee under the Indenture for the old Notes and the new Notes) with respect to the tendered old Notes with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), subject only to the right of withdrawal described in the Prospectus, to (1) deliver certificates for such old Notes to the Company or transfer ownership of such old Notes on the account books maintained by DTC, together, in either such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the Company and (2) present such old Notes for transfer on the books of the Company and receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such old Notes, all in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer.

    The undersigned acknowledges that the Exchange Offer is being made in reliance upon interpretative advice given by the staff of the SEC to third parties in connection with transactions similar to the Exchange Offer, so that the new Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for the old Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than a broker-dealer who purchased such old Notes directly from the Company for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, Regulation S or any other available exemption under the Securities Act or a person that is an "affiliate" of the Company or a Guarantor within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such new Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders' business and such holders are not participating, do not intend to participate and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of such new Notes.

    The undersigned represents and warrants that: (1) the new Notes acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving new Notes (which will be the undersigned unless otherwise indicated in the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" above) (the "Recipient"); (2) neither the undersigned nor the Recipient (if different) is engaged in, intends to engage in or has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (as that term is interpreted by the SEC) of such new Notes; and (3) neither the undersigned nor the Recipient (if different) is an "affiliate" of the Company or of a Guarantor as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, or if it is an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable.

    If the undersigned is a broker-dealer, the undersigned further: (1) represents that it acquired old Notes for the undersigned's own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities; (2) represents that it has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with the Company or a Guarantor or any "affiliate" of the Company or a Guarantor (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) to distribute the new Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer; and (3) acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (for which purposes, the delivery of the Prospectus, as the same may be hereafter supplemented or amended, will be sufficient) in connection with any resale of new Notes received in the Exchange Offer. Such a broker-dealer will not be deemed, solely by reason of such acknowledgment and prospectus delivery, to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

    The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the old Notes tendered hereby and to acquire new Notes issuable upon the exchange of such tendered old Notes, and that, when the same are accepted for exchange, the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim. The undersigned also warrants that it will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed to be necessary or desirable by the Exchange Agent or the Company in order to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of tendered old Notes or transfer of ownership of such old Notes on the account books maintained by a book-entry transfer facility.

5


    The undersigned agrees that acceptance of any tendered old Notes by the Company and the issuance of new Notes in exchange therefor will constitute performance in full by the Company of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Prospectus) and that, upon the issuance of the new Notes, the Company will have no further obligations or liabilities thereunder for the registration of the old Notes or the new Notes.

    The undersigned understands that tenders of old Notes pursuant to the procedures described under the caption "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes" in the Prospectus and in the instructions hereto will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned, the Company and the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer.

    The Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "The Exchange Offer—Conditions of the Exchange Offer." The undersigned recognizes that as a result of these conditions, as more particularly set forth in the Prospectus, the Company may not be required to exchange any of the old Notes tendered hereby. If any tendered old Notes are not accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer for any reason, certificates for any such unaccepted old Notes will be returned (except as noted below with respect to lenders through DTC), at the Company's cost and expense, to the undersigned at the address shown below or at a different address as may be indicated herein under "Special Delivery Instructions" as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date.

    All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by this Letter of Transmittal will survive the death, incapacity or dissolution of the undersigned, and every obligation of the undersigned under this Letter of Transmittal will be binding on the undersigned's heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Letter of Transmittal.

    By acceptance of the Exchange Offer, each broker-dealer that receives new Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon the receipt of notice by the Company of the happening of any event that makes any statement in the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading (which notice the Company agrees to deliver promptly to such broker-dealer), such broker-dealer will suspend use of the Prospectus until the Company has amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission and has furnished copies of the amended or supplemented prospectus to such broker-dealer.

    Unless otherwise indicated under "Special Registration Instructions," please issue the certificates representing the new Notes issued in exchange for the old Notes accepted for exchange and return any certificates for old Notes not tendered or not exchanged, in the name(s) of the undersigned (or, in either such event in the case of old Notes tendered by DTC, by credit to the account at DTC). Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under "Special Delivery Instructions," please send the certificates representing the new Notes issued in exchange for the old Notes accepted for exchange and any certificates for old Notes not tendered or not exchanged (and accompanying documents, as appropriate) to the undersigned at the address shown below the undersigned's signature(s), unless, in either event, tender is being made through DTC. If both "Special Registration Instructions" and "Special Delivery Instructions" are completed, please issue the certificates representing the new Notes issued in exchange for the old Notes accepted for exchange in the name(s) of, and return any certificates for old Notes not tendered or not exchanged to, the person(s) so indicated. The undersigned understands that the Company has no obligations pursuant to the "Special Registration Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" to transfer any old Notes from the name of the registered Holder(s) thereof if the Company does not accept for exchange any of the old Notes so tendered.

    Holders who wish to tender the old Notes and (1) whose old Notes are not immediately available or (2) who cannot deliver their old Notes, this Letter of Transmittal or any other documents required hereby to the Exchange Agent before the Expiration Date, may tender their old Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures." See Instruction 1 regarding the completion of the Letter of Transmittal.

FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER

1.
GUARANTEE OF SIGNATURES.

    Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal need not be guaranteed if (a) this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the old Notes tendered herewith and such holder(s) have not completed the box set forth herein entitled "Special Registration Instructions" or the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" or (b) such old Notes are tendered for the account of a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States (each, an "Eligible Institution"). (See Instruction 6.) Otherwise, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. All signatures on bond powers and endorsements on certificates must also be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

2.
DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND OLD NOTES.

    Unless the Exchange Agent has received a properly transmitted Agent's Message (as defined below), certificates for all physically delivered old Notes or confirmation of any book-entry transfer to the Exchange Agent at DTC of old Notes tendered by book-entry transfer, as well as, in each case (including cases where tender is effected by book-entry transfer), a properly completed and duly executed copy of this Letter of Transmittal or facsimile hereof and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. The method of delivery of the tendered old Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent is at the election and risk of the Holder and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Exchange Agent. If old Notes are sent by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery. No Letter of Transmittal or old Notes should be sent to the Company.

    The Exchange Agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the old Notes at DTC for purposes of the Exchange Offer within two business days after the date of the Prospectus, and any financial institution that is a participant in DTC may make book-entry delivery of old Notes by causing DTC to transfer such old Notes into the appropriate Exchange Agent's account at DTC in accordance with DTC's procedures for transfer. However, although delivery of old Notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC, the Letter of Transmittal, with any required signature guarantees or an Agent's Message (as defined in the next paragraph) in connection with a book-entry transfer and any other required documents, must, in any case, be transmitted to and received by the Exchange Agent at the address specified on the cover page of the Letter of Transmittal on or before the Expiration Date or the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with.

    A Holder may tender old Notes that are held through DTC by transmitting its acceptance through DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program, for which the transaction will be eligible, and DTC will then edit and verify the acceptance and send an Agent's Message to the Exchange Agent for its acceptance. The term "Agent's Message" means a message transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Exchange Agent and forming part of the Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from each participant in DTC tendering the old Notes and that such participant has received the Letter of Transmittal and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and the Company may enforce such agreement against such participant.

    Holders who wish to tender their old Notes and (1) whose old Notes are not immediately available, or (2) who cannot deliver their old Notes, this Letter of Transmittal or any other documents required hereby to the Exchange Agent on or before the Expiration Date or comply with book-entry transfer procedures on a timely basis must tender their old Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Prospectus. See "The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures." Pursuant to such procedure: (1) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution and (2) on or before the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent must have received from the Eligible Institution either (a) an Agent's Message with respect to guaranteed delivery or (b) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (by facsimile transmission, overnight courier, mail or hand delivery) setting forth the name and address of the Holder of the old Notes, the certificate number or numbers of such old Notes and the principal amount of old Notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that, within five New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of signing of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) together with the

9


certificate(s) representing the old Notes and any other required documents will be deposited by the Eligible Institution with the Exchange Agent. Such properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof), as well as all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal and the certificate(s) representing all tendered old Notes in proper form for transfer (or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of such old Notes into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC), must be received by the Exchange Agent within five New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of signing of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, all in the manner provided in the Prospectus under the caption "The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures." Any Holder who wishes to tender his or her old Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described above must ensure that the Exchange Agent receives the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Upon request to the Exchange Agent, a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will be sent to Holders who wish to tender their old Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth above.

    All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance of tendered old Notes, and withdrawal of tendered old Notes will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. All tendering Holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), will waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of the old Notes for exchange. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any and all old Notes not properly tendered or any old Notes the Company's acceptance of which might, in the Company's judgment or the judgment of the Company's counsel, be unlawful.

4.
TENDER BY HOLDER.

    Only a Holder of old Notes may tender such old Notes in the Exchange Offer. Any beneficial owner of old Notes who is not the registered Holder and who wishes to tender should arrange with such registered Holder to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal on such beneficial owner's behalf or must, before completing and executing this Letter of Transmittal and delivering his or her old Notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old Notes in such beneficial owner's name or obtain a properly complete bond power from the registered Holder or properly endorsed certificates representing such old Notes.

5.
PARTIAL TENDERS; WITHDRAWALS.

    Tenders of old Notes will be accepted only in integral multiples of $1,000. If less than the entire principal amount of any old Notes is tendered, the tendering Holder should fill in the principal amount tendered in the third column (B) of the box entitled "Description of 7.85% Senior Notes due 2011" above. The entire principal amount of any old Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated. If the entire principal amount of all old Notes is not tendered, then old Notes for the principal amount of old Notes not tendered and a certificate or certificates representing new Notes issued in exchange for any old Notes accepted will be sent to the Holder at his or her registered address, unless a different address is provided in the "Special Delivery Instructions" box above on this Letter of Transmittal or unless tender is made through DTC, promptly after the old Notes are accepted for exchange.

    Except as otherwise provided herein, tenders of old Notes may be withdrawn at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. To withdraw a tender of old Notes in the Exchange Offer, a written notice (sent by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery) of withdrawal must be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Any such notice of withdrawal must: (1) specify the name of the person having deposited the old Notes to be withdrawn (the "Depositor"); (2) identify the old Notes to be withdrawn (including the certificate number or numbers and principal amount of such old Notes, or, in the case of old Notes transferred by book-entry transfer, the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited); (3) be signed by the Depositor in the same manner as the original signature on the Letter of Transmittal by which such old Notes were tendered (including any required signature guarantees) or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to have the Exchange Agent with respect to the old Notes register the transfer of such old Notes into the name of the person withdrawing the tender; (4) specify the name in which any such old Notes are to be registered, if different from that of the Depositor; and (5) state that the Depositor is withdrawing the election to have such old Notes tendered. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined by the Company, whose determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any old Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer and no new Notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the old Notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Any old Notes that have been tendered but that are not accepted for exchange by the Company will be returned to the Holder thereof without cost to such Holder as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer. In the case of old Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC, the old Notes will be credited to an account with DTC specified by the Holder. Properly withdrawn old Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described in the Prospectus under "The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes" at any time before the Expiration Date.

SIGNATURES ON THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL; BOND POWERS AND ENDORSEMENTS.

    If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by the registered Holder(s) of the old Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the Old Note without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If any of the old Notes tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

    If a number of old Notes registered in different names are tendered, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many copies of this Letter of Transmittal as there are different registrations of old Notes.

    If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by the registered Holder or Holders (which term, for the purposes described herein, will include a book-entry transfer facility whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of the old Notes) of old Notes tendered and the certificate or certificates for new Notes issued in exchange therefor is to be issued (or any untendered principal amount of old Notes to be reissued) to the registered Holder, then such Holder need not and should not endorse any tendered old Notes, nor provide a separate bond power. In any other case, such Holder must either properly endorse the old Notes tendered or transmit a properly completed separate bond power with this Letter of Transmittal with the signatures on the endorsement or bond power guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

    If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by a person other than the registered Holder or Holders of any old Notes listed, such old Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers in each case signed as the name of the registered Holder or Holders appears on the old Notes.

    If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) or any old Notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, or officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and unless waived by the Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority so to act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.

    Endorsement on old Notes or signatures on bond powers required by this Instruction 6 must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

7.
SPECIAL REGISTRATION AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS.

    Tendering Holders should indicate, in the applicable box or boxes, the name and address to which new Notes or substitute old Notes for principal amounts not tendered or not accepted for exchange are to be issued or sent,

11


if different from the name and address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different name, the taxpayer identification or social security number of the person named must also be indicated.

8.
U.S. BACKUP TAX WITHHOLDING AND INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE FORM W-9.

Under the federal income tax laws, payments that may be made by the Company on account of new Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 30.5% (to be reduced to 28% by 2006). Backup withholding will not apply to each tendering Holder who completes and signs the Substitute Form W-9 included in this Letter of Transmittal and either (a) provides the correct taxpayer identification number ("TIN") and certifies, under penalties of perjury, that the TIN provided is correct and that (1) the Holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") that the Holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all interest or dividends or (2) the IRS has notified the Holder that the Holder is no longer subject to backup withholding; or (b) provides an adequate basis for exemption. If the tendering Holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for one, or intends to apply for one in the near future, such Holder should write "Applied For" in the space provided for the TIN in Part I of the Substitute Form W-9, sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and sign the Certificate of Payee Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number. If "Applied For" is written in Part I, the Company (or the Exchange Agent under the Indenture governing the new Notes) will retain 30.5% (or the applicable reduced percentage) of payments made to the tendering Holder during the 60-day period following the date of the Substitute Form W-9. If the Holder furnishes the Exchange Agent or the Company with its TIN within 60 days after the date of the Substitute Form W-9, the Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, will remit such amounts retained during the 60-day period to the Holder and no further amounts will be retained or withheld from payments made to the Holder thereafter. If, however, the Holder has not provided the Exchange Agent or the Company with its TIN within such 60-day period, the Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, will remit such previously retained amounts to the IRS as backup withholding. In general, if a Holder is an individual, the TIN is the social security number of such individual. If the Exchange Agent or the Company are not provided with the correct TIN, the Holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS. Certain Holders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. In order for a foreign individual to qualify as an exempt recipient, such Holder must submit a statement (generally, IRS Form W-8BEN), signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that individual's exempt status. For further information concerning backup withholding and instructions for completing the Substitute Form W-9 (including how to obtain a taxpayer identification number if you do not have one and how to complete the Substitute Form W-9 if old Notes are registered in more than one name), consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9. Failure to complete the Substitute Form W-9 will not, by itself, cause old Notes to be deemed invalidly tendered, but may require the Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, to withhold 30.5% (or the applicable reduced percentage) of the amount of any payments made on account of new Notes. Backup withholding is not an additional federal income tax. Rather, the federal income tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.

9.
TRANSFER TAXES.

    Holders who tender their old Notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection therewith. If, however, certificates representing new Notes or old Notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be registered in the name of, any person other than the registered Holder of the old Notes tendered hereby, or if tendered old Notes are registered in the name of a person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered Holder or on any other persons) will be payable by the tendering Holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering Holder. See the Prospectus under "The Exchange Offer—Transfer Taxes."

    Except as provided in this Instruction 9, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the old Notes listed in this Letter of Transmittal.

12


10.
WAIVER OF CONDITIONS.

    The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to amend, waive or modify specified conditions in the Exchange Offer in the case of any old Notes tendered.

11.
MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED OLD NOTES.

    Any tendering Holder whose old Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed should contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated herein for further instructions.

12.
REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE, COPIES.

    Requests for assistance and requests for additional copies of the Prospectus or this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to the Exchange Agent at the address specified in the Prospectus. Holders may also contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance concerning the Exchange Offer.

Exempt payees described above should file a Substitute Form W-9 to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding.

FILE THIS FORM WITH THE PAYER, FURNISH YOUR TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER, WRITE "EXEMPT" ON THE FACE OF THE FORM, SIGN AND DATE THE FORM AND RETURN IT TO THE PAYER.

Certain payments other than interest, dividends, and patronage dividends, that are not subject to information reporting are also not subject to backup withholding. For details, see sections 6041, 6041A(a), 6042, 6044, 6045, 6049, 6050A, and 6050N, and the regulations under those sections.

PRIVACY ACT NOTICE. Section 6109 requires most recipients of dividend, interest, or other payments to give taxpayer identification numbers to payers who must report the payments to IRS. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of tax returns. Payers must be given the numbers whether or not recipients are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold 30.5% of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.

PENALTIES

(1)
PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO FURNISH TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.—If you fail to furnish your taxpayer identification number to a payer, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

(2)
FAILURE TO REPORT CERTAIN DIVIDEND AND INTEREST PAYMENTS.—If you fail to include any portion of an includible payment for interest, dividends or patronage dividends in gross income, such failure is strong evidence of negligence. If negligence is shown, you will be subject to a penalty of 20% on any portion of an underpayment attributable to that failure.

(3)
CIVIL PENALTY FOR FALSE INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO WITHHOLDING.—If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no imposition of backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.

(4)
CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR FALSIFYING INFORMATION.—Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the Outstanding Securities have given, made or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder as of any date, (A) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security which shall be deemed to be Outstanding shall be the amount of the principal thereof which would be due and payable as of such date upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof to such date pursuant to Section 502, (B) if, as of such date, the principal amount payable at the Stated Maturity of a Security is not determinable, the principal amount of such Security which shall be deemed to be Outstanding shall be the amount as specified or determined as contemplated by Section 301, (C) the principal amount of a Security denominated in one or more foreign currencies or currency units which shall be deemed to be Outstanding shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent, determined as of such date in the manner provided as contemplated by Section 301, of the principal amount of such Security (or, in the case of a Security described in Clause (A) or (B) above, of the amount determined as provided in such Clause), and (D) Securities owned by the Corporation or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Corporation or of any such other obligor, whether of record or beneficially, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Corporation or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Corporation or of any such other obligor.

    Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Corporation or any Guarantor may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or

6


representations with respect to the matters upon which such officer's certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Corporation or such Guarantor stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Corporation or such Guarantor, as the case requires, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

    Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any action has been taken by or at the request of the Corporation or any Guarantor in reliance on an error or omission in the original document which has been corrected as aforesaid, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities or Guarantees issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Corporation or any such Guarantor, as the case may be, entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities or Guarantees, as the case may be, except as aforesaid.

    Section 104.  Acts of Holders; Record Dates.  

    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Corporation and any Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Corporation and any such Guarantor, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

    The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than the signer's individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the signer's authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

    The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Corporation or any Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

    Each of the Corporation and any Guarantor may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series; provided that the Corporation and any Guarantor may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take or revoke the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Corporation or any Guarantor from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Corporation or any such Guarantor, at their own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

    The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction or to revoke the same, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Corporation's or any such Guarantor's expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be sent to the Corporation and any such Guarantor in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

    With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the "Expiration Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless

8


notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106 on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

    Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

    Section 105.  Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Corporation and any Guarantor.  

    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

        (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Corporation shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing, which may be made via facsimile, to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

        (2) the Corporation by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or filed in writing, which may be made via facsimile, or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Corporation addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, Attention: Treasurer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Corporation, or

        (3) any Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or filed in writing, which may be made via facsimile, or mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to any such Guarantor addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, Attention: Treasurer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by any such Guarantor.

    Section 106.  Notice to Holders; Waiver.  

    Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed by such Holders or the Corporation with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

    In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

    Section 107.  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.  

    If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

    Section 108.  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.  

    The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

    Section 109.  Successors and Assigns.  

    All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Corporation or any Guarantor shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

    Section 110.  Separability Clause.  

    In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities or any Guarantees shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

    Section 111.  Benefits of Indenture.  

    Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities or any Guarantees, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

    Section 112.  Governing Law.  

    THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES AND ANY GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

    Section 113.  Legal Holidays.  

    In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity.

    [If applicable, insert—Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may not, prior to            , redeem any Securities of this series as contemplated by [if applicable, insert—Clause (2) of] the preceding paragraph as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation by

the application, directly or indirectly, of moneys borrowed having an interest cost to the Corporation (calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice) of less than       % per annum.]

    [If applicable, insert—The sinking fund for this series provides for the redemption on            in each year beginning with the year       and ending with the year      of [if applicable, insert—not less than $            ("mandatory sinking fund") and not more than] $            aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series. Securities of this series acquired or redeemed by the Corporation otherwise than through [if applicable, insert—mandatory] sinking fund payments may be credited against subsequent [if applicable, insert—mandatory] sinking fund payments otherwise required to be made [if applicable, insert—, in the inverse order in which they become due].]

    [If the Security is subject to redemption of any kind, insert—In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]

    [If the Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert—If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Such amount shall be equal to [insert formula for determining the amount]. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal, premium and interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Corporation's obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and premium and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.]

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding with respect to which a default under the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive, with certain exceptions, such past default with respect to such series and its consequences. The Indenture also permits the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

14


    As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee, such Holder or Holders shall have offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

    No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of [and premium, if any,] and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

    As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

    The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

    No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

    Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

    This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles thereof.

    All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

       (21) any other terms of the series.

    All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above and (subject to Section 303) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers' Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

    If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms or the manner of determining the terms of the series.

    With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Board Resolution (or action taken pursuant thereto), Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture referred to above may provide general terms or parameters for Securities of such series and provide either that the specific

19


terms of particular Securities of such series shall be specified in a Company Order or that such terms shall be determined by the Corporation in accordance with other procedures specified in a Company Order as contemplated by the fourth paragraph of Section 303.

    Notwithstanding Section 301(2) herein and unless otherwise expressly provided with respect to a series of Securities, a series of Securities may from time to time be "re-opened" and the aggregate principal amount of any such series of Securities may be increased and additional Securities of such series may be issued up to the maximum aggregate principal amount authorized with respect to such series as increased.

    Section 302.  Denominations.  

    The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

    Section 303.  Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.  

    The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

    Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Corporation shall bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

    Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, with respect to any series of Securities, any Guarantees to be endorsed on any series of Securities shall be executed and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 1402.

    At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Corporation may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Corporation with any Guarantees executed by any Guarantor, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order and any Guarantor Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities and for the delivery of any such Guarantees endorsed thereon, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and any such Guarantor Order shall authenticate such Securities and deliver such Securities and any such Guarantees endorsed thereon, provided, however, that in the case of Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate such Securities and deliver such Securities and such Guarantees endorsed thereon from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of electronic instructions from the Corporation or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing) acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order and any Guarantor Order delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series or any Guarantees endorsed thereon have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities and any such Guarantees endorsed thereon and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities and any such Guarantees endorsed thereon, the Trustee shall be furnished, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

        (1) if the forms of such Securities or Guarantees have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such forms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

20


        (2) if the terms of such Securities or Guarantees have been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, subject, in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel; and

        (3) that such Securities and any Guarantees endorsed thereon, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Corporation and any such Guarantor in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Corporation and any such Guarantor enforceable against the Corporation and any such Guarantor in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally (including without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws) and by general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

    If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order, any Guarantor Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

    With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Corporation and any Guarantor of any of such Securities and Guarantees endorsed thereon, the forms and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series.

    Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

    No Security or Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated hereunder and that such Security and any Guarantee endorsed thereon have been duly delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security (and any Guarantee endorsed thereon) shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

    Section 304.  Temporary Securities.  

    Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Corporation may execute, and upon Company Order and any Guarantor Order, if applicable, the Trustee shall authenticate and

21


deliver, temporary Securities (with any temporary Guarantees endorsed thereon) which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities and any Guarantees in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities or Guarantees, as the case may be, may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities or Guarantees, as the case may be.

    If temporary Securities or Guarantees of any series are issued, the Corporation will cause definitive Securities and Guarantees of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities and Guarantees of such series, the temporary Securities and Guarantees of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series, with the definitive Guarantees of any Guarantor endorsed thereon, upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Corporation in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, with any definitive Guarantees executed by such Guarantor endorsed thereon. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series and any Guarantees endorsed thereon shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor and definitive Guarantees.

    Section 305.  Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.  

    The Corporation shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Corporation in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

    Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Corporation in a Place of Payment for that series, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, with any Guarantees executed by the Guarantor endorsed thereon.

    At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities, with any Guarantees of the Guarantor endorsed thereon, which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

    All Securities and Guarantees issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities and the Guarantees endorsed thereon shall be the valid obligations of the Corporation and the Guarantor, respectively, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and Guarantees surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

    Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Corporation, any Guarantor or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation, any Guarantor and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

    No service charge shall be assessed against the Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other

22


governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1106 not involving any transfer.

    If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

    The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities:

        (1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

        (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary has notified the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security and a successor Depositary has not been appointed by the Corporation within 90 days of receipt by the Corporation of such notification, (B) if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and no successor Depositary shall have been appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after it became aware of such cessation, (C) the Corporation, in its sole discretion, executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such Global Security, together with all other Global Securities of the same series, shall be exchangeable as described below, (D) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of such series, or (E) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301. If any of the events described in clauses (A) through (E) of the preceding sentence occur, the beneficial owners of interests in the relevant Global Securities will be entitled to exchange those interests for definitive Securities and, without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which those interests may be so exchanged, the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Securities, such Securities to be duly executed by the Corporation. On or after the earliest date on which such beneficial interests may be so exchanged, such Global Securities shall be surrendered from time to time by the Depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto (which the Corporation agrees to deliver), and in accordance with any instructions given to the Trustee and the Depositary (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by an Officers' Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Corporation's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities as described above without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered Global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such Global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such Depositary or its custodian. If a definitive Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a

23


    Global Security after the close of business at the place where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at that Place of Payment on the next Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Place of Payment on the related proposed date for the payment of Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such definitive Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

        (3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange or transfer of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for or upon transfer of a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct.

        (4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1106 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

    Section 306.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.  

    If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount, having a Guarantee, if any, executed by the Guarantor endorsed thereon and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

    If there shall be delivered to the Corporation, any Guarantor and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as required by them to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Corporation, any Guarantor or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount, having a Guarantee, if any, executed by the Guarantor endorsed thereon and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

    In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Corporation or any Guarantor in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

    Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

    Every new Security of any series and any Guarantee endorsed thereon issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security and any Guarantee endorsed thereon shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Corporation and such Guarantor, respectively, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Guarantee shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder and any Guarantees endorsed on such Securities.

24


    The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

    Section 307.  Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.  

    Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, such payment to be made at the office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however, that, at the option of the Corporation, interest on any series of Securities that bear interest may be paid (i) by check mailed to the address of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date for payment by the Persons entitled thereto. Any such instructions given pursuant to clause (ii) shall remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to any payment date by the Person entitled to such payment.

    Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Corporation, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

        (1) The Corporation or any Guarantor may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Corporation or any such Guarantor shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Corporation or any such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Corporation and any such Guarantor of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Corporation or any such Guarantor, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

        (2) The Corporation or any Guarantor may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange, if any, on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be

25


    required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Corporation or any Guarantor to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

    Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

    Section 308.  Persons Deemed Owners.  

    Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Corporation, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation, any Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Corporation, any Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Corporation, any Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

    Section 309.  Cancellation.  

    All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Corporation or any Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Corporation or any Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Corporation has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order or Guarantor Order; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy such canceled Securities.

    Section 310.  Computation of Interest.  

    Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

    Section 311.  CUSIP Numbers.  

    The Corporation in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Corporation shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers.


ARTICLE IV.

        (1) either

          (A) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Corporation and thereafter repaid to the Corporation or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

          (B) all such Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation

             (i) have become due and payable, or

            (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

            (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Corporation,

      and the Corporation or any Guarantor of the Securities of such series, in the case of (B) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose money, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in an amount sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

        (2) no Event of Default or event that is, or with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would be, an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Corporation or any Guarantor of the Securities of such series is a party or by which the Corporation or any Guarantor of the Securities of such series is bound;

        (3) the Corporation or any Guarantor of the Securities of such series has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Corporation and any such Guarantor;

        (4) the Corporation has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities of such series at the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; and

        (5) the Corporation has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with.

    Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Corporation and any Guarantor of the Securities of such series to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of the Corporation to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Corporation and the Trustee with respect to the

27


Securities of such series under Sections 304, 305, 306, 402, 1002, 1003 and 1306 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

    Section 402.  Application of Trust Money.  

    Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than the Corporation acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.


ARTICLE V.

REMEDIES

    Section 501.  Events of Default.  

    "Event of Default," wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless it is specifically deleted or modified in the Board Resolution or Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee prior to the issuance of such series of Securities or supplemental indenture under which such series of Securities is issued or has been deleted or modified in an indenture supplemental hereto:

        (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; provided, however, that if the Corporation is permitted by the terms of the Securities of such series to defer the payment in question, the date on which such payment is due and payable shall be the date on which the Corporation is required to make payment following such deferral, if such deferral has been elected pursuant to the terms of the Securities; or

        (2) default in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any Security of that series at its Maturity; or

        (3) default in the making of any sinking fund payment applicable to Securities of such series, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series; or

        (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than that series) or the Securities of that series, and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Corporation and any Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Corporation, any such Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

        (5) default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument evidencing any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (including a default with respect to any other series of Securities issued under this Indenture), or under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), whether

28


    such indebtedness or guarantee exists on the date this Indenture or is issued or entered into following the date of this Indenture, if:

          (a) either:

             (i) such default results from the failure to pay principal of, or premium, if any, on such indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default"); or

            (ii) as a result of such default the maturity of such indebtedness has been accelerated prior to its expressed maturity; and

          (b) the principal amount of such indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates at least $75 million and the Payment Default or such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, or such indebtedness for money borrowed is not discharged, within 30 days after written notice to the Corporation by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; or

        (6) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of such entity or entities under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of such entity or entities or of any substantial part of the property of such entity or entities, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of such entity or entities, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

        (7) the commencement by the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of such entity in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or the filing by such entity or entities of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law, or the consent by the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of such entity or entities or of any substantial part of its or their property, or the making by such entity or entities of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by such entity or entities in writing of its or their inability to pay its or their debts generally as they become due, or the authorization of any such action by the Board of Directors of such applicable entity or entities; or

29


        (8) except as otherwise permitted herein, any Guarantee of the Securities of any series shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any person acting on behalf of any such Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee with respect to Securities of that series; or

        (9) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.

    Section 502.  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.  

    If an Event of Default specified in clause (6), (7) or (8) of Section 501 hereof occurs, all Outstanding Securities will become due and payable immediately and without any further action or notice. If any other Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable.

    At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Event of Default giving rise to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if

        (1) the Corporation or any Guarantor has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

          (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration,

          (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and, to the extent permitted by law, any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities or, if no such rate or rates are so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by such Securities,

          (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities or, if no such rate or rates are so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by such Securities, and

          (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607;

        and

        (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest on Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

    No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

30


    Section 503.  Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.  

    The Corporation and each Guarantor, if any, jointly and severally covenant that if

        (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,

        (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, or

        (3) default is made in the deposit of any mandatory sinking fund payment applicable to any Security when due,

the Corporation or any such Guarantor will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities or, if no such rate or rates are so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

    If the Corporation fails to pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee pursuant to the preceding paragraph forthwith upon demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the money so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Corporation or any other obligor upon such Securities endorsed thereon and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Corporation or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

    If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

    Section 504.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  

    In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, composition or similar judicial proceeding relative to the Corporation or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Guarantees), its or their respective property or its or their respective creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of such Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Corporation or any Guarantor for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding, to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series, to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders of such Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian,

31


receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

    No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or any Guarantees or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or other similar committee.

    Section 505.  Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.  

    All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities or any Guarantees endorsed thereon may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or any such Guarantees or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

    Section 506.  Application of Money Collected.

32


        (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

        (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

    Section 509.  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  

    If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Corporation, any Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

    Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

        (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

        (2) subject to Section 601, the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

        (3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Securities of that series not joining in that action.

    Section 513.  Waiver of Past Defaults.  

    The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series with respect to which any default under this Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing may, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, waive such past default under this Indenture with respect to such Securities and its consequences, except a default:

        (1) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series (except a rescission of acceleration of such series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and a waiver of the Payment Default that resulted from such acceleration), or

        (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

    Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

    Section 514.  Undertaking for Costs.

    Section 515.  Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  

    Each of the Corporation and each Guarantor, if any, covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or any other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Corporation or any such Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Securities as contemplated herein or therein or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Corporation and each Guarantor, if any (to the extent that it may

34


lawfully do so), hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

    The recitals contained herein and in the Securities and any Guarantees endorsed thereon, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Corporation or such Guarantor, as the case may be, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or any Guarantees endorsed thereon. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Corporation of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

        (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed to in writing between the Corporation and the Trustee for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

        (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the

37


    expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and

    Section 609.  Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.  

    There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, which may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series.

If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

    Section 610.  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.  

    No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611.

    The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Corporation and the Guarantors with respect to such series, if any. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Corporation, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

38


    The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee, the Corporation and the Guarantors with respect to such series, if any.

    If at any time:

        (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Corporation, any Guarantor or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

        (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Corporation, any Guarantor or by any such Holder, or

        (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Corporation and such Guarantors, if any, by Board Resolutions may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

    If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after giving of notice of removal, the removed Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Corporation, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

    If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, by Board Resolutions, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Corporation and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Corporation and the Guarantors, if any. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

    The Corporation shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

39


    Section 611.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.  

    In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Corporation, the Guarantors, if any, and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Corporation, any Guarantor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder (subject to the lien provided for in Section 607).

    In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Corporation, the Guarantors, if any, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Corporation, any Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

    Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

    No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

    Section 612.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.  

    Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been

40


authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

    Section 613.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Corporation.  

    If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Corporation or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Guarantees), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Corporation or any such Guarantor (or any such other obligor).

    Section 614.  Appointment of Authenticating Agent.  

    The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents acceptable to the Corporation with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Corporation and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

    Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

    An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee, the Corporation and the Guarantors, if any. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent, the Corporation and the Guarantors, if any. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Corporation and any Guarantor and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor

41


hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

    The Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, jointly and severally, agree to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

    If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

    This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

The Corporation and any such Guarantor

47


will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Corporation or any such Guarantor shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Corporation and any such Guarantor hereby appoint the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

    The Corporation or any Guarantor may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Corporation or any Guarantor of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

    Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to Section 301 of this Indenture, the Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, hereby designate as a Place of Payment for each series of Securities the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoint the office of The Bank of New York in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as its office or agency in that Place of Payment for such purpose.

    Section 1003.  Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.  

    If the Corporation shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

    Whenever the Corporation shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to 10:00 a.m. (local time at Place of Payment) on each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

    The Corporation will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance of any default by the Corporation (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series.

    The Corporation may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust hereunder by the Corporation or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Corporation or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

    Subject to any applicable escheatment laws, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Corporation, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal,

48


premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Corporation on Company Request, or (if then held by the Corporation) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, jointly and severally, for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Corporation as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Corporation cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Corporation.

    Section 1004.  Corporate Existence.  

    Subject to Article VIII, each of the Corporation and each Guarantor, if any, will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect their corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that neither the Corporation nor any Guarantor shall be required to preserve any such right or franchise if it shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Corporation or such Guarantor.

    Section 1005.  Statement by Officers as to Default.  

    Each of the Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Corporation or on or before such other day in each calendar year as the Corporation, the Guarantors, if any, and the Trustee may from time to time agree upon, an Officers' Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Corporation or any Guarantor, as the case may be, is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Corporation or any Guarantor shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

    The Corporation will, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee forthwith upon becoming aware of (1) an Event of Default or an event that is, or with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would be, an Event of Default in the performance of a covenant or agreement or condition contained in this Indenture or (2) any Event of Default or event that is, or with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would be, an Event of Default of the type provided for herein specifying such default or Event of Default, notice of such default or Event of Default.

    Section 1006.  Waiver of Certain Covenants.  

    Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series, the Corporation may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 301(19) or 901(2) for the benefit of the Holders of such series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Corporation and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE XI.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

    Section 1101.  Applicability of Article.  

    Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article.

    Section 1102.  Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.  

    The election of the Corporation to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Corporation, the Corporation shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Corporation (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole and absolute discretion), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (A) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (B) pursuant to an election of the Corporation which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Corporation and the Guarantor shall each furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction or condition applicable to it.

    Section 1103.  Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.  

    If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, (1) if the particular series of Securities to be redeemed are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange or which such Securities are listed, or (2) if the particular series of securities to be redeemed are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

    The Trustee shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

    The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.

    For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed

50


only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

    All notices of redemption shall state:

        (1) the Redemption Date;

        (2) the Redemption Price;

        (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series and of a specified tenor consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series and of a specified tenor consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed;

        (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date;

        (5) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, unless it shall have been specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Securities that such surrender shall not be required;

        (6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case;

        (7) the CUSIP number of such Securities, if any, or any other numbers used by the Depositary to identify such securities; and

        (8) such other matters as the Corporation shall deem desirable or appropriate.

    Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Corporation shall be given by the Corporation or, at the Corporation's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Corporation. Any such notice of redemption shall be irrevocable.

    Prior to 10:00 a.m. (local time at the Place of Payment) on any Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deposit, with respect to the Securities of any series called for redemption pursuant to this Section 1104, with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money in the applicable currency sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and any accrued interest on, all such Securities or portion thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

    Section 1105.  Securities Payable on Redemption Date.  

    Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Corporation shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities or portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security or portion thereof shall be paid by the Corporation at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that no such

51


surrender shall be a condition to such payment if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security, and provided further that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

    If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security or, if no rate is prescribed therefor in the Security, at the rate of interest, if any, borne by such Security.

    Section 1106.  Securities Redeemed in Part.  

    Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Corporation, any Guarantor or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation, any such Guarantor and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor (and with a Guarantee executed by any such Guarantor, if any, endorsed thereon), of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered with the Guarantee, if any, of any such Guarantor endorsed thereon.


ARTICLE XII.

SINKING FUNDS

    Section 1201.  Applicability of Article.  

    The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities.

    The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment." If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities.

    Section 1202.  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.  

    The Corporation (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Corporation pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

52


    Section 1203.  Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.  

    Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202 and stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have not been previously so credited and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Corporation in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1105 and 1106.


ARTICLE XIII.

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

    Section 1301.  Applicability of Article.  

    Unless, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made that either or both of (A) defeasance of any Securities or any series of Securities under Section 1302 and (B) covenant defeasance of any Securities or any series of Securities under Section 1303 shall not apply to such Securities of a series, then the provisions of either or both of Sections 1302 and Section 1303, as the case may be, together with Sections 1304 and 1305, shall be applicable to the Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, defeasance under Section 1302 and covenant defeasance under Section 1303 may be effected only with respect to all, and not less than all, the Securities of any series. To the extent that the Corporation is permitted, pursuant to Section 301, to defer interest payments, change the time for interest payments, or change the Stated Maturity of the Securities of any series or any installment of principal thereof, any such right shall terminate upon defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Securities of that series as described below or upon satisfaction and discharge with respect to the Securities of that series pursuant to Section 401.

    Section 1302.  Defeasance and Discharge.  

    On and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied, the Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, may cause themselves to be discharged from their obligations with respect to any Securities or any series of Securities and any Guarantees endorsed thereon (hereinafter called "Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Corporation and any such Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Securities and any such Guarantees endorsed thereon and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any such Guarantees endorsed thereon are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Corporation and any such Guarantor, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Corporation's, any Guarantor's and Trustee's obligations with respect to such Securities and any Guarantees endorsed thereon under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002, 1003 and 1306 and with respect to the Trustee under Section 607, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Corporation's and any Guarantor's obligations in connection therewith, and (4) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, Defeasance with respect to any Securities

53


or any series of Securities and any Guarantees endorsed thereon by the Corporation and any Guarantor is permitted under this Section 1302 notwithstanding the prior exercise by the Corporation of its rights under Section 1303 with respect to such Securities. Following a Defeasance, payment of such Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.

    Section 1303.  Covenant Defeasance.  

    On and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied, the Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, may cause themselves to be released from their obligations under covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(19) or 901(2) with respect to any Securities and any Guarantees endorsed thereon or any series of Securities for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(4) (with respect to any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(19), 901(2) or 501(9)) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section (hereinafter called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities and any Guarantees endorsed thereon, the Corporation and any such Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any covenants added for the benefit of the Securities of such series pursuant to any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. Following a Covenant Defeasance, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated by reference to the covenant described in the description of Covenant Defeasance above.

    Section 1304.  Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.  

    The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or Section 1303 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, and any Guarantees endorsed thereon:

        (1) The Corporation or any Guarantor shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in U.S. dollars in an amount, or (B) Government Securities which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment due in respect of such Securities, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestments of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities on the respective Stated Maturities or on any Redemption Date established pursuant to Clause (3) below, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities, and any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Securities when such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. As used herein, "Government Security" means direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States of America, and the payment for which the United States pledges its full faith and credit, and which are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof.

        (2) No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any Guarantee endorsed thereon shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit (other than such an event resulting form the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or, with regard to any such event specified in

54


    Sections 501(7) and (8), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).

        (3) If the monies or Government Securities or combination thereof deposited pursuant to Clause (1) above are sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities provided such Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or irrevocable instructions to redeem such Securities on such Redemption Date and to provide notice of such redemption to Holders satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made.

        (4) In the case of Defeasance pursuant to Section 1302, the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee stating that (x) the Corporation has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of independent counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Defeasance had not occurred; or, in the case of Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Section 1303, the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred.

        (5) The Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Corporation or any such Guarantor with the intent of preferring the Holders of such Securities over the Corporation's or any Guarantor's other creditors with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding the creditors of the Corporation, any Guarantor or of others.

        (6) The Corporation and the Guarantors, if any, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

        (7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries is bound.

    Section 1305.  Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions  

    Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (other than the Corporation acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

55


    The Corporation or any Guarantor shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

    Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Corporation from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

    Section 1306.  Reinstatement.  

    If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any moneys or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 401 or 1304 to pay any principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of any series by reason of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Corporation's and any Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series and any Guarantees endorsed thereon shall be revived and reinstated as though no such deposit had occurred, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such moneys and Government Securities to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of such series as contemplated by Section 402 or 1305, as the case may be, provided, however, that if either the Corporation or any Guarantor makes any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as aforesaid, the Corporation, or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the funds held by the Trustee or Paying Agent, but shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all Securities of that series shall have been paid in full.


ARTICLE XIV.

GUARANTEE

    Section 1401.  Applicability of Article; Guarantee.  

    If, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made for the Guarantee of the Securities of any series by any Guarantor, then the provisions of this Article XIV (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities and Guarantees, and the Corporation may at its option by Board Resolution delivered to the Trustee, at any time, with respect to such Securities and Guarantees, elect to have this Article XIV be applied to such Securities and Guarantees. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security to which the Guarantor's Guarantee applies that has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Security and of any sinking fund payments thereon, in each case when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Security and of this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Corporation punctually to make any such payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest if any, or any such sinking fund payment, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Corporation. The

56


Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or this Indenture, or any failure to enforce any provisions of such Security or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Corporation with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, or change any redemption provisions thereof (including any change to increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof), or change the Stated Maturity thereof, or change the amount and principal of such security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration pursuant to Article V of this Indenture.

    The Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment or performance, any requirement that the Trustee or any of the Holders exhaust any right or take any action against the Corporation or any other Person, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Corporation, any right to require a proceeding first against the Corporation, protest or notice with respect to any Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged in respect of any Security except by complete performance of the obligations contained in this Indenture, such Security and in this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall constitute a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security, whether at its Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Security, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee without first proceeding against the Corporation.

    The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder with respect to any Security shall be continuing and irrevocable until the date upon which the entire principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Security has been, or has been deemed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of this Indenture to have been, paid in full or otherwise discharged, but subject to reinstatement of such obligations on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1306.

    The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities upon which its Guarantee is endorsed against the Corporation in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Securities pursuant to the provisions of its Guarantee or this Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on all Securities issued hereunder shall have been paid in full.

    This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue notwithstanding any petition filed by or against the Corporation for liquidation or reorganization, the Corporation becoming insolvent or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a receiver or trustee being appointed for all or any significant part of the Corporation's assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any Security, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Holder of such Security, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent transfer," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned on a Security, such Security shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed paid only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, any Guarantor and each Holder by accepting the benefits of any Guarantee, confirm that it is its intention that such Guarantee by such

57


Guarantor pursuant to this Indenture together with each other guarantee by each such Guarantor of Participating Indebtedness (as defined below) shall not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any applicable provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, or any similar federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the obligations of each such Guarantor under this Indenture and each other guarantee of Participating Indebtedness shall be limited, collectively, to such maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other liabilities of each such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of each such Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to any agreement, result in the obligations of each such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Holder by accepting the benefits of this Indenture and any such Guarantee confirms its intention that, in the event of a bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding of any Guarantor in which concurrent claims are made upon such Guarantor hereunder and under any other guarantee of Participating Indebtedness, to the extent such claims will not be fully satisfied, each such claimant with a valid claim against such Guarantor shall be entitled to a ratable share of all payments by such Guarantor in respect of such concurrent claims. For purposes of this Section 1401, "Participating Indebtedness" means any Indebtedness (as defined below) of the Corporation that is guaranteed by such Guarantor pursuant to a guarantee (i) the incurrence of which is not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture or any agreement governing any other Participating Indebtedness then outstanding (or, if so prohibited by this Indenture or any such agreement, is permitted as a result of a consent or waiver thereunder) and (ii) that contains a limitation of liability and confirmation of intention regarding ratability of payments on substantially the terms set forth in this Section 1401. "Indebtedness" means any indebtedness, whether or not contingent, in respect of borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or similar instruments or letters of credit and, to the extent not otherwise included, the guarantee by the Corporation of any indebtedness of any other Person. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the liability of the Corporation in respect of the Securities of any series guaranteed by any Guarantor shall not be limited by the terms of this Section 1401.

    Section 1402.  Execution and Delivery of Guarantees.  

    The Guarantee to be endorsed on the Securities of each series shall include or incorporate by reference the terms of the Guarantee set forth in Section 1401 and any other terms that may be set forth as established pursuant to Section 301. The Guarantor hereby agrees to execute its Guarantee, in a form set forth in Section 204 or established pursuant to Section 201, to be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

    The Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or its Vice President, attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries or by its Treasurer or one of its Assistance Treasurers. The signature of any such officer on the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile.

    A Guarantee bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at any time a proper officer of the Guarantor shall bind the Guarantor, notwithstanding that any such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Guarantee or did not hold such office at the date of such Guarantee.

    The delivery of any Security to which a Guarantee applies by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 1401 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Security to which the Guarantee applies. The Guarantor by its execution of this Indenture or any applicable supplemental indenture hereby authorizes the Corporation, in the name and on behalf of the Guarantor, to confirm

58


the applicable Guarantee to the Holder of each Security authenticated and delivered hereunder by the Corporation's execution and delivery of each such Security, with such Guarantee endorsed thereon, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.


ARTICLE XV.

IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS,
STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

    Section 1501.  Indenture and Securities Solely Corporate Obligations.  

    No recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security or any Guarantees of any part thereof, for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Corporation or any Guarantor in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture, or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Corporation or any Guarantor or of any successor corporation to either of them, either directly or through the Corporation or any such Guarantor or any successor corporation to either of them, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Securities and any Guarantees endorsed thereon.

(as defined below)

Re:   Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    We have acted as special counsel to Univision Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and each of the parties listed in the Registration Statement (as defined below) as a Co-Registrant, in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company and the Co-Registrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with respect to the registration by the Company of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.85% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "new Notes"), unconditionally guaranteed (the new "Guarantees") as to payment of principal and interest by the Co-Registrants. The Registration Statement also relates to the offer by the Company to exchange the new Notes and new Guarantees for all of its outstanding $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.85% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "old Notes") and the related guarantees (the "old Guarantees"), previously issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated July 13, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement"), and filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. The new Notes and the new Guarantees will be issued pursuant to the terms of the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 18, 2001, by and among the Company, the Co-Registrants and the initial purchasers party thereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement") and filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and pursuant to an Indenture, dated July 18, 2001, as supplemented, by and among the Company, the Co-Registrants and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the "Indenture").

    In our capacity as such counsel, we have examined originals or copies of those corporate and other records and documents we considered appropriate. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

    On the basis of such examination, our reliance upon the assumptions in this opinion and our consideration of those questions of law we considered relevant, and subject to the limitations and qualifications in this opinion, we are of the opinion that:

    1.  The new Notes, when duly executed and authenticated in the manner contemplated in the Indenture and issued and delivered in exchange for the old Notes as contemplated in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement (the "Prospectus") will be legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws), and by general principles of equity including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

    2.  The new Guarantees, when duly executed and authenticated in the manner contemplated in the Indenture and issued and delivered in exchange for the old Guarantees as contemplated in the Prospectus will be legally valid and binding obligations of each of the Co-Registrants, enforceable against each of the Co-Registrants in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws), and by general principles of equity including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing


and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. However, we express no opinion with respect to the effect of the enforceability of the new Guarantees against the Co-Registrants of Sections 544 and 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Section 3439 et. seq. of the California Civil Code or Section 270 et. seq. of the New York Debtor and Creditor law relating to fraudulent transfers and obligations.

    The law covered by this opinion is limited to the present federal law of the United States, the present law of the State of New York and the present corporate law of the State of Delaware. We express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction and no opinion regarding the statutes, administrative decisions, rules, regulations or requirements of any county, municipality, subdivision or local authority of any jurisdiction.

    We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this Firm in the Prospectus under the caption "Legal Matters."

    This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters. We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that arise after the date of this opinion and come to our attention, or any future changes in law.

                        Respectfully submitted,

                        /s/ O'MELVENY & MYERS

Re:   Certain United States Federal Income Tax Matters
     

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

    We have acted as special tax counsel to Univision Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and each of the parties listed in the Registration Statement (as defined below) as a Co-Registrant, in connection with the preparation by the Company and the Co-Registrants of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on October 11, 2001 (together with all exhibits thereto, the "Registration Statement"), relating to the offer by the Company to exchange up to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its new 7.85% Senior Notes due 2011 and the related guarantees by the Co-Registrants (collectively, the "Securities"), which will be registered under the Securities Act, for a like principal amount of its outstanding 7.85% Senior Notes due 2011 and the related guarantees, which have not been so registered (the "Exchange Offer"). You have requested our opinion regarding certain United States federal income tax matters in connection with the Exchange Offer. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement.

    In formulating our opinion herein we have reviewed the Registration Statement and such certificates, records, and other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth below. In conducting such review for purposes of rendering our opinion we have not conducted an independent investigation of any of the facts set forth in the Registration Statement, certificates, or any other documents, records, or certificates, and have, consequently, relied upon the Company's representations that the information presented in such documents, records, or certificates or otherwise furnished to us accurately represent and completely describe all material facts relevant to our opinion herein, and upon the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals or certified copies, the accuracy of copies, the genuineness of all signatures and the legal capacity of all natural persons. No facts have come to our attention, however, that would cause us to question the accuracy and completeness of such facts or documents in a material way.

    Additionally, in rendering our opinion herein we have assumed that the Exchange Offer or any other transactions described in or contemplated by any of the aforementioned documents have been or will be consummated consistent with the descriptions of such transactions as set forth in the Registration Statement and in accordance with the operative documents relating to such transactions.

    The opinion set forth in this letter is based on relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations thereunder (including proposed and temporary Treasury Regulations), and interpretations of the foregoing as expressed in court decisions, administrative determinations, and the legislative history as of the date hereof. These provisions and interpretations are subject to change, which may or may not be retroactive in effect, that might result in modifications of our opinion. Our opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or on the courts, and, therefore, provides no guarantee or certainty as to results. In addition, our opinion is based on certain factual representations and assumptions described herein. Any change occurring after the date hereof in, or a variation from, any of the foregoing bases for our opinion could affect the conclusion expressed below.


    On the basis of the foregoing, our reliance upon the assumptions in this opinion and our consideration of those questions of law we considered relevant, and subject to the limitations and qualifications in this opinion, we are of the opinion that the statements made in the Registration Statement under the caption "Certain U.S. Federal Tax Considerations" insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain federal income tax laws of the United States or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute a fair summary of the principal United States federal tax consequences of the Exchange Offer and the ownership and disposition of the Securities.

    We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the references to O'Melveny & Myers LLP under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement.

    This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matter relating to the Company or to any investment therein, or under any other law. We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that arise after the date of this opinion and come to our attention, or any future changes in law.

                        Respectfully submitted,

                        /s/ O'MELVENY & MYERS
