2010 Equity Incentive Plan

Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

SECTION 1. GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD.

(a) Award. On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and each Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award referencing this Agreement (the “Notice”), Univision Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants the Participant the Restricted Stock Units under the terms set forth in the Notice (the “Units”) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Univision Holdings, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Each Notice, together with this referenced Agreement, shall be a separate award governed by the terms of this Agreement and the Plan. This Agreement shall apply both to this Award and to the Shares issued in settlement thereof.

(b) Adjustment of Award. The number of Units subject to this Award is subject to adjustment following the occurrence of certain events affecting the Company, as provided in Section 10 of the Plan.

(c) Equity Incentive Plan and Defined Terms. The Units are granted under and subject to the terms of the Plan. Capitalized terms are defined in Section 8 of this Agreement and in the Plan.

SECTION 2. SECURITIES LAW ISSUES.

(a) Securities Not Registered. Neither the Units nor the underlying Shares have been registered under the Securities Act. To the extent any securities are deemed issued in respect of the Units, they are being issued to the Participant in reliance upon either (i) a registration of such securities under applicable securities laws or (ii) an exemption from registration under applicable securities laws.

(b) Participant Representations. The Participant hereby confirms that he or she has been informed that any securities issued pursuant to this Award are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act which may not be resold or transferred unless they are first registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Accordingly, the Participant hereby represents and acknowledges as follows:

 

  (i) The Units and any Shares issued in settlement thereof are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to sale or distribution thereof;

 

  (ii) The Participant is prepared to hold the Units and any Shares issued in settlement thereof for an indefinite period and is aware that Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (which exempts certain resales of securities) is not presently available to exempt the resale of the Units and any Shares issued in settlement thereof from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

  (iii) The Participant is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(e) of Regulation D of the Securities Act by virtue of the Participant’s position with the Company, income, assets or otherwise.

(c) Registration. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the award of the Units or Shares issued in settlement thereof to the Participant under the Securities Act or any other applicable law, except, solely with respect to Participants who are signatories to or have executed a joinder with respect to the Registration Rights Agreement (with respect to the Shares issued in settlement of this Award), as required under the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

1


(d) Market Stand-Off. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Company’s Initial Public Offering, the Participant hereby agrees, at the request of the Company or the managing underwriters, to be bound by and/or to execute and deliver, a lock-up agreement with the underwriter(s) of such public offering restricting such Participant’s right to (a) Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Shares acquired under this Agreement or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Shares or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of ownership of Shares acquired under this Agreement, in each case to the extent that such restrictions are agreed to by the Majority Principal Investors (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) (or a majority of the shares of Common Stock if there are no Principal Investors remaining) with the underwriter(s) of such public offering (the “Principal Lock-Up Agreement”); provided, however, that the Participant shall not be required by this Section 2(d) to be bound by a lock-up agreement covering a period of greater than 90 days (180 days in the case of the Initial Public Offering) following the effectiveness of the related registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such lock-up agreement shall not apply to: (a) Transfers to Permitted Transferees of the Participant permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (b) conversions of Shares into other classes of Shares or securities without change of Participant and (c) during the period preceding the execution of the underwriting agreement, Transfers to a charitable organization, described by Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, permitted in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.

(e) Additional Restrictions. The Units and any Shares issued in settlement thereof are subject to such additional restrictions as are set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and any employment or consulting agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, as well as such other restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions), that in the judgment of the Company, are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or any other law.

(f) Participant Undertaking. The Participant agrees to take whatever additional actions and execute whatever additional documents that the Company may deem necessary or advisable to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either the Participant, Units or the Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or to comply with applicable laws.

SECTION 3. TRANSFER

(a) General Rule. The Units may not be transferred to any person other than to the Company or to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement (whether or not the Participant has executed a joinder to the Stockholders Agreement) or any other applicable agreement entered into by the Company and the Participant; provided that notwithstanding the Stockholders Agreement, the Company may restrict transfers to a Permitted Transferee if, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Company determines it desirable in order to limit the number of holders of record of shares of stock of the Company, so as to prevent the Company from becoming a reporting company under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Notwithstanding the above, this Section 3(a) shall cease to apply as to any Shares issued upon settlement of the Units upon an Initial Public Offering, subject to the Stockholders Agreement or any other applicable agreement entered into by the Company and the Participant.

 

2


(b) Transferee Obligations. If the Units are transferred to a Permitted Transferee, such Permitted Transferee must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Company that such person is bound by the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Units were retained by the Participant.

SECTION 4. SETTLEMENT OF UNITS.

(a) Time of Settlement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Notice and this Agreement, the Units shall be settled at such time and in such form as is set forth in the Notice; provided, however, that Units shall be settled in all events no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such Units vest. As of the Date of Grant set forth in the Notice, the Participant shall enter into a joinder to the Stockholders Agreement (if not already a party to the Stockholders Agreement with respect to such Shares) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to become effective upon the settlement of the Units by the delivery of Shares.

(b) Shareholder Rights. The Participant (or any successor in interest) shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder (including, without limitation, voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to the Units.

(c) Withholding Requirements. Unless the Participant elects to satisfy the minimum applicable income and employment tax withholdings in connection with the settlement of Units by having Shares otherwise deliverable in such settlement, having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such withholdings, withheld by the Company (a “Withholding Tax Election”), the Participant shall pay the amount of such withholdings to the Company in cash within ten (10) days after the Units vest, provided that, if the Participant does not make such payment to the Company within such ten (10) day period, the Participant shall be deemed to have made a Withholding Tax Election.

(d) Legend. The Shares issued in settlement of the Units shall, unless otherwise determined by the Company, bear the following legend:

“THE VOTING OF THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, AND THE SALE, ENCUMBRANCE OR OTHER DISPOSITION THEREOF, ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT. SUCH AGREEMENT INCLUDES RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS ON THE TRANSFER OF THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.”

(e) No Fractional Shares. No scrip or fractional certificates will be issued with respect to any Shares issued in settlement of the Units. If a Participant would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional Shares in respect of the Units, the Company shall round the number of Shares to be received to the closest whole Share; provided that in no event shall a Participant receive more than the total number of Shares subject to the Award. If the number of Shares received by a Participant has been rounded down, the Company shall record the amount of such fractional Shares in a book entry account and shall issue one or more whole Shares in respect of such amount on the last settlement date applicable to such Award; provided, however, if a Participant’s account is credited with fractional Shares on the date immediately prior to the expiration or termination of the Award, the Company shall pay the Participant cash in lieu of such fractional Shares.

SECTION 5. RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES.

(a) Drag-Along Rights. Shares issued in settlement of the Units shall be subject to the Drag-Along Rights as set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Stockholders Agreement (whether or not the Participant is a signatory thereof), the provisions of such Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Stockholders Agreement to apply mutatis mutandis to this Agreement. The Participant shall be deemed to have appointed each member of the Principal Investors, with full power of substitution, as the Participant’s true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, in such Participant’s name, place and stead, to execute and deliver any and all agreements that the members of the Principal Investors reasonably believe are consistent with the purposes of Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Stockholders Agreement. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent death, incapacity, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Participant

(b) Tag-Along Rights. Shares issued in settlement of the Units shall be subject to the Tag-Along Rights as, and to the extent, set forth in Section 4.1 of the Stockholders Agreement (whether or not the Participant is a signatory thereof), the provisions of such Section 4.1 of the Stockholders Agreement to apply mutatis mutandis to this Agreement.

(c) Voting Rights. The Participant hereby appoints each Principal Investor as its proxy to vote the Shares issued in settlement of the Units, whether at a meeting or by written consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of the Stockholders Agreement (whether or not the conditional joinder to the Stockholders Agreement executed by the Participant becomes effective pursuant to Section 4 hereof). The proxy granted hereby is irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Solely with respect to Participants whose joinder to the Stockholders Agreement has become effective, this proxy shall not be used to affect any amendment pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, which, by its terms, Discriminates (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) against the holders of Management Shares (as such term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement); provided that it is understood and agreed that, for the purposes of interpreting and enforcing this proxy, amendments that affect all Stockholders (as such term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement) will not be deemed to Discriminate against the holders of Management Shares simply because holders of such shares (i) own or hold more or less Shares than any other Stockholders, (ii) invested more or less money in the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries than any other Stockholders or (iii) have greater or lesser voting rights or powers than any other Stockholders.

(d) Forfeiture of Shares upon Termination for Cause. The Shares issued in settlement of the Units shall be forfeited without payment therefor in the event the Participant’s Service is terminated for Cause or the Participant resigns at a time when Cause existed (without regard to any applicable cure periods), except to the extent that the intent of the parties to permit such a forfeiture would be impermissible under California law (only if and to the extent that California Law is applicable).

(e) Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any of the Shares subject to this Section 5 or into which such Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this Section 5.

SECTION 6. CALL RIGHT.

(a) Call Right. If the Participant’s Service with the Company ceases for any reason, the Company shall have the right (but not an obligation) to call any Shares issued in settlement of the Units on such termination (or at any time thereafter).

(b) Exercise Notice. In the event the Company wishes to exercise its Call Right, the Company shall notify the Participant (or any Permitted Transferee to whom the Shares have been transferred) by written notice that the Company has elected to exercise such right, and the number of Shares with respect to which the right is being exercised.

(c) Execution of Call. The closing of any purchase and sale pursuant to the Call Right shall take place at the principal office of the Company as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date of the Company’s exercise notice described in Section 6(b) or at such other time and location as the parties to such purchase may mutually determine.

(d) Purchase Price. If the Company exercises the Call Right, the Participant shall sell, and shall cause any Permitted Transferee to whom Shares have been transferred to sell (and such Permitted Transferee shall sell), to the Company all of the Shares subject to the Call Right and the Company shall purchase each such Share for its Fair Market Value on the date of the issuance of the Company’s exercise notice pursuant to Section 6(b). The Company shall make commercially reasonable efforts, as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, to pay all or any portion of the repurchase price in cash. However, if the Company cannot make all or any portion of the payment in cash it shall issue a promissory note with a principal amount equal to the amount of the repurchase price which was not paid in cash (e.g., the full amount or a portion thereof, as applicable), on which interest will accrue on the principal thereof at a rate equal to the prime rate and the principal, together with the interest thereon, will become due and payable, to the extent commercially reasonable (as determined by the Board of Directors), in three equal annual installments, payable on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of issuance thereof.

(e) Lapse of Rights. The Call Right shall lapse upon an Initial Public Offering.

(f) Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any of the Shares subject to the Call Right or into which such Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this Section 6.

(g) Termination of Rights as Shareholder. If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 6, then after such time the person from whom such Shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) No Retention Rights. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without Cause.

(b) Notification. Any notice required by the terms of this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, or a nationally recognized overnight express mail service with postage and fees prepaid. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office to the attention of the Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company with a copy to the Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, and to the Participant at the address that he or she most recently provided to the Company.

(c) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notice, the Plan, the Stockholders Agreement (or such other stockholders agreement entered into by the Company and the Participant), any employment or consulting agreement between the Participant and the Company, and, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which relate to the subject matter hereof.

(d) Waiver. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition whether of like or different nature.

(e) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and upon the Participant, the Participant’s assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Participant’s estate, whether or not any such person shall have become a party to this Agreement and have agreed in writing to be joined herein and be bound by the terms hereof.

(f) Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State.

(g) Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Company intends that the Units be structured in compliance with, or to satisfy an exemption from, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all regulations, guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority thereunder (“Section 409A”), such that there are no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties as a result of the payments. Notwithstanding the Company’s intention, in the event the Units are subject to Section 409A, the Committee (as defined in the Plan) may, in its sole discretion, take the actions described in Section 12 of the Plan. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or Award Agreement, any payment(s) of nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) that are otherwise required to be made under the Agreement to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A) as a result of his or her separation from service (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A) shall be delayed for the first six (6) months following such separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the specified employee) and shall instead be paid on the date that immediately follows the end of such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter. A termination of Service shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of the

 

6


Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A upon or following a termination of Service, unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and the payment thereof prior to a “separation from service” would violate Section 409A. For purposes of any such provision of the Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of Service” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”
