Summary

This agreement is an amendment to a previous credit agreement between Univision Communications Inc. and several lenders, including BNP Paribas and The Chase Manhattan Bank. The amendment allows Univision to make larger investments in media and communications businesses, increasing the investment cap from $400 million to $800 million. It also provides consent for certain mandatory prepayments to be made by a specified date.

        (b) The Borrower represents and warrants that to the best of the Borrower's knowledge, all approvals, consents and orders of, or filings with, any governmental authority, legislative body, board, agency or commission having jurisdiction which would constitute a condition precedent to the due performance by the Borrower of its Obligations, or the absence of which would cause a Material Adverse Effect, have been duly obtained.

    SECTION 5. Miscellaneous. (a) This Amendment shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Borrower and the Lenders and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns.

        (d) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Amendment.

        (e) This Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without reference to the choice of law rules).
