1.             Registration Statement and Prospectus.  The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the published rules and regulations of the

 



 

Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-105933), including a base prospectus relating to the Securities.  The registration statement as amended at the time it became effective on September 30, 2003, including all exhibits and information, if any, deemed to be part of the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act, is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and the base prospectus dated September 30, 2003, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated October 7, 2003 relating to the Securities in the form first used to confirm sales of Securities and filed or to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”), is referred to herein as the “Prospectus.”  Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, a preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (the “Incorporated Documents”), and, except as otherwise indicated, when reference is made to information “in” (including by use of the terms “set forth in,” “described in” and similar expressions) the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, such reference shall be deemed to include information incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be.  Any reference to an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus shall be deemed to include any documents filed after the date of the Prospectus under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the published rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus.  (For the avoidance of doubt, all references herein to the “Company and its subsidiaries” or similar expressions shall be deemed to include Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation and its subsidiaries, which were acquired by the Company on September 22, 2003, unless the context otherwise requires.)

(g)           The Issuers consent to the use of the Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the Blue Sky or state securities laws of the jurisdictions in which the Securities are offered by any Underwriter and by all dealers to whom Securities may be sold, both in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales by any Underwriter or any dealer;

(i)            The Issuers will make generally available to its security holders a consolidated earnings statement, which need not be audited, covering a twelve-month period commencing after the date of the Prospectus and ending not later than 15 months thereafter, as soon as practicable after the end of such period (which consolidated earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder);

 

(j)            Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has taken, or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Securities to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities; and

(h)           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 Securities 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;

14



 

on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus, (ii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis or change in economic conditions or in the financial markets of the United States or elsewhere that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and would, in your judgment, make it impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus, (iii) the suspension or material limitation of trading in securities on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market or limitation on prices for securities on any such exchange or securities market, (iv) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any federal or state statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority which in your opinion materially and adversely affects, or will materially and adversely affect, the business, properties, results of operations or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (v) the declaration of a banking moratorium by either federal or New York state authorities or any material disruption in the operations of the securities settlement and clearance systems of The Depository Trust Company or otherwise;

 

(j)            No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been commenced or shall be pending before or threatened by the Commission; every request for additional information on the part of the Commission shall have been complied with in all material respects; and no stop order suspending the sale of the Securities in any jurisdiction referred to in Section 6(g) shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been commenced or shall be pending or threatened which would, in your reasonable judgment, make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities;

(m)          The Company and the Significant Guarantors shall have furnished to you at the Time of Delivery such additional certificates, opinions and documents as you and counsel to the Underwriters may reasonably request.

 

9.             Indemnification and Contribution.  (a)  The Company and each of the Significant Guarantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange 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 the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a

 

15



 

material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Significant 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 the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with information in writing furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein; and provided, further, that with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the Securities concerned if the Prospectus corrected any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and the Company provided such Underwriter with a sufficient number of copies of such corrected Prospectus pursuant to Section 6(e) hereof on a timely basis for delivery to prospective purchasers of the Securities and such Underwriter did not deliver a copy of the Prospectus to such person.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Underwriter shall be obligated to send or give any Incorporated Document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, to any person in order to benefit from the indemnity provisions herein or otherwise.

 

(b)           Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Significant Guarantors against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or the Significant Guarantors may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange 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 the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, 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, 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 the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with information in writing furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and the Significant Guarantors for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Significant 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 Section 9(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

 

16



 

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 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 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 9(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 Section 9(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 Significant Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, 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 Section 9(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 Section 9(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 Significant Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, 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 Significant Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, 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 Significant Guarantors bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the Prospectus.  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 Significant Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, 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 Significant Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if

 

17



 

contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9(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 Section 9(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 Section 9(d), no Underwriter 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 Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  The Underwriters' obligations in this Section 9(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.  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.

 

(e)           The obligations of the Company and the Significant Guarantors under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or the Significant Guarantors may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person who is a director or officer of such Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director and officer of the Company or the Significant Guarantors and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Significant Guarantors within the meaning of the Securities Act.

 

(f)            The Underwriters confirm and the Issuers acknowledge that the statements with respect to the public offering of the Securities by the Underwriters set forth in the fourth, fifth, sixth and eleventh paragraphs of the “Underwriting” section in the Prospectus Supplement are correct and constitute the only information concerning the Underwriters furnished in writing to the Issuers by the Underwriters through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

 

10.           Default by an Underwriter.  (a)  If any Underwriter 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 Underwriter 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 Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to prepare promptly any amendments to the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be made

 

18



 

necessary.  The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section 10 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 Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as provided in Section 10(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 Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

 

(c)           If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as provided in Section 10(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 Section 10(b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company or the Guarantors, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; however, nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

 

11.           Survival of Representation, Warranties, Agreements, Indemnities, etc.  The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors and the several Underwriters, 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 Underwriter, its directors, officers or any controlling person of any Underwriter, the Company or the Guarantors, or any director or officer or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

 

12.           Termination.  If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, neither the  Company nor the Guarantors shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 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 Underwriters through you for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities, but neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall then be under any further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

 

19



 

13.           Notices, etc.  In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by you jointly or by either of you on behalf of the Representatives.

 

All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the Representatives in care of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York  10013, Attention:  Office of General Counsel and UBS Securities LLC, 677 Washington Boulevard, Stamford, Connecticut 06901, Attention:  Fixed Income Syndicate; 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 Prospectus, Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to a Underwriter pursuant to Section 9(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address, 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.

 

14.           Benefit of Agreement, etc.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company, the Guarantors and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company or the Guarantors and each person who controls the Company, the Guarantors or any Underwriter, 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 Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

 

15.           Time of Essence.  Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

 

16.           Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

17.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

ANNEX II

 

FORM OF OPINION OF SHAW PITTMAN LLP

 

October    , 2003

 

Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

UBS Securities LLC

And the other several Underwriters named in

the Underwriting Agreement referred to below

 

c/o UBS Securities LLC

677 Washington Boulevard

Stamford, Connecticut  06901

 

Re: Univision Communications Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special communications counsel to 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 Underwriting Agreement (“Underwriting Agreement”), dated October 7, among the Company, the Guarantors and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and UBS Securities LLC as Representatives of the Underwriters (the “Underwriters”).  This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Underwriting 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 Underwriting 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 opinion, we have reviewed only (a) publicly available records of the FCC regarding the Stations (as defined below) located at the FCC's Reference Information Center at 445 Twelfth Street, S.W. in Washington, D.C., which we examined during a period commencing on         , 2003 and ending on October    , 2003 (the “Examination Time”) and (b) verbal confirmations, if any, by members of the equal employment opportunity staff and political programming staff in the Policy Division of the FCC's Media Bureau and staff members in the Technical & Public Safety Division and the Investigations & Hearings Division of the FCC's Enforcement Bureau regarding outstanding complaints, if any,

 

AII-1



 

pending before the FCC with respect to the Stations (as defined below) (such FCC information and confirmations the “FCC Review Materials”).  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 Underwriting Agreement and (b) the FCC Review Material.  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 and that, therefore, we did not examine.

 

We have examined an unexecuted copy of the Underwriting Agreement dated October 7, 2003, 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 or e-mail 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, 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.

 

AII-2



 

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 broadcast stations specified on Attachment B (the “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 the Guarantors or to facilities such as the 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 the Guarantors or the Stations that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company, the Guarantors or the Stations.  While we express no opinion on the likely outcome of the matters disclosed in Attachment B, the inclusion of matters in Attachment B is not intended to imply that such matters or the outcomes thereof would necessarily result in a material adverse effect upon the Company, the Guarantors or the Stations.

 

3.             The execution, delivery, and performance in accordance with its terms of the Underwriting 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 Underwriting 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 the Guarantors 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 Underwriting 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 Underwriting 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 broadcast

 

AII-3



 

licenses held directly or indirectly by the Company or a transfer of control of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, 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 Underwriting Agreement, and that of your permitted assigns under the Underwriting Agreement but the opinion speaks only as of its date and your assigns have no greater rights than the named addressees, (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 Underwriting Agreement.

 

 

Very truly yours,
