2. Univision Content.
a. Specified Univision Content.
i. In furtherance of Televisas engagement under Section 1, Univision may, from time to time (in such frequency as Univision may determine in its sole discretion), deliver to Televisa a notice (an Activation Notice) setting forth those particular items of Univision Content that it desires to make available to existing or potential Territorial Licensees for distribution in the Sales Agency Territory at any time during the Sales Agency Term. In addition, Univision shall specify in each Activation Notice, on an item-by-item basis, (A) the particular Specified Media, (B) portion of the Sales Agency Territory, (C) portion of the Sales Agency Term that it desires to make available to such Territorial Licensees in connection with the Univision Content, and (D) any related limitations or restrictions with respect to the foregoing, including whether such rights are exclusive or non-exclusive (collectively, the Specified Rights).

ii. In furtherance of Televisas engagement under Section 1, Televisa may, from time to time, deliver to Univision a notice setting forth those particular items of Univision Content that it desires to make available to existing or potential Territorial Licensees for distribution in the Sales Agency Territory at any time during the Sales Agency Term (a Requested Activation Notice). Televisa may specify in each Requested Activation Notice (or may in consultation with Univision subsequently determine) the applicable Specified Rights that it is requesting to be made available (the Requested Specified Rights). The Univision Content specified in such notice shall be referred to herein as the Requested Univision Content. Upon receipt of a Requested Activation Notice, Univision shall determine in good faith (in consultation with Televisa as appropriate) whether to make any such Requested Univision Content and any such Requested Specified Rights available to existing or potential Territorial Licensees for
distribution in the requested portion of the Sales Agency Territory during the requested portion of the Sales Agency Term hereunder, and to deem such Requested Univision Content to be Specified Univision Content. With respect to any such Univision Content and Specified Rights that Univision so elects to make available, the Requested Activation Notice, the Requested Specified Rights, and the Requested Univision Content related to such approved Univision Content and approved Specified Rights shall be deemed for all purposes under this Agreement to constitute respectively an Activation Notice, Specified Rights and Specified Univision Content, as set forth in Section 2.a.
b. Withdrawal of Specified Univision Content. Univision may withdraw or modify, on a case by case basis, any Specified Rights in the Specified Univision Content that has been made available in accordance with Section 2.a, and is not then subject to one or more License Agreements, at any time in its reasonable discretion, by delivering a written notice of withdrawal or modification to Televisa (the Revision Notice). Upon receipt of such Revision Notice, Televisa shall as promptly as practicable cease rendering any further Sales Agency Services with respect to the Specified Rights in the Specified Univision Content to the extent specified in the Revision Notice. Notwithstanding the delivery of any Revision Notice, Univision shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) directly or indirectly exploit or make available to third parties any Specified Rights in and to any Specified Univision Content that is the subject of a Revision Notice in the portions of the Sales Agency Territory during the portion of the Sales Agency Term specified for such Specified Univision Content in the applicable Activation Notice, other than (i) through Televisa hereunder; or (ii) unless the applicable Activation Notice specified that the Specified Rights were to be exclusive, pursuant and subject to Section 7.
c. No Other Univision Content. Televisa shall not be permitted hereunder to distribute, sell, lease or license any rights in or to Univision Content other than Specified Rights in and to Specified Univision Content in the Sales Agency Territory. For the avoidance of doubt, the Specified Univision Content shall in no event include (i) any Grandfathered Programs for the Venevision Territory; or (ii) any Excluded IPRA Programs, in each case, until the Venevision Rights Termination Date.
3. Sales Agency Territory. The Sales Agency Territory as used herein shall mean the world, excluding only (a) the United States of America, including all territories and possessions thereof including Puerto Rico; (b) the United Mexican States, including all territories and possessions thereof; (c) until the Venevision Rights Termination Date, Venezuela; and (d) solely with respect to Grandfathered Programs until the Venevision Rights Termination Date, the Venevision Territory. The parties understand and agree that clause (c) and (d) of the foregoing sentence is in no way intended to, nor shall in any way, affect Venevisions rights under the IPRA.
4. Sales Agency Term. The Sales Agency Term shall commence on the date hereof and shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereunder (including under Sections 19 and 20), continue through and include the final day of the MLA Term (as such MLA Term may be terminated early or extended in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof).
5. Sales Agency Services. Televisa shall, during the Sales Agency Term, perform, on behalf of Univision, all services reasonably necessary or customary, consistent with
then-applicable industry standards to fulfill its obligations herein (collectively, the Sales Agency Services); provided that no Sales Agency Services shall be rendered for (a) any Grandfathered Programs for the Venevision Territory or any Excluded IPRA Programs, in each case, until the Venevision Rights Termination Date or (b) within the United States of America or the United Mexican States. The Sales Agency Services shall include, without limitation, the following:

For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that in no event, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, shall Televisa (i) be liable or responsible for any amounts due by Territorial Licensee or (ii) have any obligation pursuant to this Agreement or any License Agreement to request or obtain, or assist Univision in requesting or obtaining, tax receipts, tax returns or other documentation evidencing the payment by any Territorial Licensee of taxes required to be deducted or withheld by such Territorial Licensee from payments to Univision pursuant to any License Agreement; provided, that Televisa agrees to inform Univision of the appropriate persons (if known) at the applicable Territorial Licensees in connection with Univisions attempt (if any) to obtain such documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Univision expressly requests in writing that Televisa attempt to obtain any such documentation on behalf of Univision for a given License Agreement (or for License Agreements generally), then Univision agrees to include in Gross Receipts the applicable deducted or withheld amounts under such License Agreement (or License Agreements generally) to the extent (A) Univision receives an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of such deducted or withheld amounts, or other evidence of payment reasonably requested by Univision, or (B) Univision obtains a refund or credit of the applicable tax;

g. Enforcement. Enforce, at Univisions sole cost and expense (and Univision shall promptly reimburse Televisa for all costs and expenses it and its Affiliates incur in connection with such enforcement that have been approved by Univision, upon provision to Univision of appropriate documentation evidencing such costs and expenses), rights and remedies (including, without limitation, termination rights) against Territorial Licensees under License Agreements at the written request and approval of Univision (it being understood and agreed that Univision shall at all times have an independent right to enforce any such rights or remedies); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that Televisa shall have no obligation to incur any costs or expenses under this Section 5(g), until such time as Univision has approved the incurrence thereof by Televisa.
6. License Agreements.
a. Execution of License Agreements. Subject to Sections 6.b, 6.c and 6.d and 6.e, Televisa shall be permitted to execute, on behalf of Univision (as Univisions agent), License Agreements only with existing or potential Territorial Licensees and only with respect to Specified Rights in and to Specified Univision Content, as contained in an Activation Notice. Promptly upon execution of any License Agreement in accordance with this Section 6, Televisa shall provide to Univision a fully-executed copy of such License Agreement.
b. License Agreements Requiring No Univision Approval. In connection with the first transaction involving Specified Rights in and to Univision Specified Content, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to develop a form of standard terms and conditions, and to attach such form to this Agreement (the Approved Form). Once an Approved Form has been finalized, then subject to Sections 6.c and 6.d, Televisa shall be permitted to execute License Agreements involving Specified Rights in and to Univision Specified Content consistent with the Approved Form without the approval of Univision.
c. License Agreements Requiring Univision Approval. Without the express prior written approval of Univision (in Univisions sole discretion), Televisa shall not execute any License Agreements that contain the following specifications (collectively, the Specifications):
i. License Agreements that deviate in any material respect from the Approved Form;
ii. License Agreements that provide for a term that is (A) more than three (3) years; or (B) beyond the Sales Agency Term;
iii. License Agreements that provide for consideration to Univision in excess of $250,000;
iv. License Agreements that provide for anything other than one hundred percent (100%) cash consideration in exchange for the license of the applicable Specified Univision Content;
v. License Agreements that package Specified Univision Content with Audiovisual Content owned or controlled by Televisa or its Affiliates or any third party (Packaged Arrangements), subject to Section 6(d) below;
vi. License Agreements that allow the applicable Territorial Licensee to Broadcast Specified Univision Content as part of a Univision-branded channel, network, block or other packaged programming offering;
vii. License Agreements that provide for a flat sale (i.e., a sale of all or substantially all of the applicable Specified Rights for a fixed sum); and/or
viii. Unless otherwise pre-approved by Univision in writing, License Agreements executed after the delivery of a termination notice under Section 19.
d. Special Rules Regarding Packaged Arrangements. The following additional rules shall apply regarding approval and servicing of Packaged Arrangements:
i. Approval Time Period. Televisa and Univision shall use all reasonable efforts to agree as soon as practicable after the date hereof and in any case within 90 days after the date hereof on the general terms and conditions of the Packaged Arrangements (the Agreed Packaged Arrangement Terms). At such time as the Agreed Packaged Arrangement Terms have been finalized, then subject to the other provisions of Section 6.c, Televisa shall be permitted to execute License Agreements involving Specified Rights in and to Univision Specified Content packaged with Televisa Audiovisual Content solely if such License Agreements contain in all material respects (and in any case, in all respects regarding Univisions economics or the scope of Univisions rights offered under such Agreed Packaged Arrangement Terms) such Agreed Packaged Arrangement Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Packaged Arrangement that Televisa proposes to enter into on behalf of Univision that deviates from the Agreed Packaged Arrangements Terms in any material respect (and in any case, in respect of Univisions economics or the scope of Univisions rights offered under such Agreed Packaged Arrangement Terms), Televisa shall provide to Univision a written notice detailing the proposed deviations from the Agreed Packaged Arrangement Terms, and Univision shall have the right to approve such proposed Packaged Arrangement in its sole discretion. If Univision does not respond to Televisa within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of written notice of the proposed terms and conditions of such Packaged Arrangement, Univision shall be deemed to have approved such Packaged Arrangement on such notified terms and Televisa shall be authorized to execute such Packaged Arrangement on behalf of Univision.
ii. Alternative Collection Arrangements. Notwithstanding Section 10, on a case by case basis, with respect to one or more Packaged Arrangements, the parties may mutually agree in writing for Gross Receipts with respect to such Packaged Arrangements to be directed to Televisa (as opposed to Univision) to take advantage of applicable cost or other efficiencies (for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood that such alternative collection arrangements shall not reduce or otherwise impact the amount of the Sales Agency Fee or any expense reimbursements that Televisa is entitled to receive hereunder, unless the parties mutually agree in writing to utilize a collection agent or other third party, in which case, the payment of any fees or reimbursement of any expenses to such third parties shall be allocated in a manner agreed by the parties). In such event, the parties shall negotiate in good faith appropriate additional terms and conditions regarding the timely payment and security of such Gross Receipts (e.g., collection account, security interest, late payment interest, etc.).
iii. Allocations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Packaged Arrangement, the parties shall negotiate in good faith any allocations of gross receipts or other consideration under such Packaged Arrangement (as between Specified Univision Content and Televisa Audiovisual Content).
e. Amendments, Modifications, Extensions, Waivers. Without Univisions prior written consent, Televisa shall not execute, or otherwise agree to, any amendments, modifications, extensions and/or waivers to any existing License Agreement that would cause such License Agreement to deviate in any material respect (and in any case, in respect of Univisions economics or the scope of Univisions rights offered under such License Agreements) from the Approved Form or otherwise not to comply with the Specifications under Section 6.c (other than any deviations from the Approved Form or inclusion of Specifications previously approved by Univision in accordance with Section 6).
f. General Restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting anything contained in this Section 6, Televisa shall not enter into any License Agreement (i) that would violate, inhibit, or otherwise affect Univisions rights set forth in Section 7 (unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Univision); (ii) unless and until the applicable items of Specified Univision Content covered by such License Agreement are included by Univision on an Activation Notice; (iii) that would violate third party limitations or restrictions set forth in the applicable Activation Notice; or (iv) that includes any rights of Univision other than rights to the Specified Univision Content.
7. Rights of Univision. Except as set forth in this Section 7, Univision shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) exploit, directly or indirectly (and whether through licensees, sub-licensees, other third parties or otherwise), any rights in and to Univision Content in the Sales Agency Territory during the Sales Agency Term in the Specified Media except by making such Univision Content available to Televisa for the sale or license to Territorial Licensees hereunder.
a. Direct Exploitation by Univision. Univision and its controlled Affiliates may, in their sole discretion and without any obligation to Televisa hereunder, at any time in the Sales Agency Territory during the Sales Agency Term, directly Broadcast any Univision Content in the Specified Media on, or through, Linear Television Channels and other platforms owned or controlled by Univision or its controlled Affiliates (e.g., Univision non-geoblocked websites,
Univision pan-regional or territorial channels, etc.), unless such rights to Univision Content have been otherwise previously specified as Specified Rights in an Activation Notice and not withdrawn pursuant to Section 2(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not permit Univision or any controlled Affiliate to license or sublicense any rights to Univision Content in the Specified Media in the Sales Agency Territory during the Sales Agency Term to unaffiliated third parties (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, MVPDs).
If Univision desires to distribute a Linear Television Channel owned or controlled by Univision or its controlled Affiliates during the Sales Agency Term in any portion of the Sales Agency Territory in which Televisa is then distributing other Linear Television Channels, Univision shall consult with Televisa regarding the distribution of such Linear Television Channel on behalf of Univision; provided, that neither Univision nor Televisa shall have any obligation at any time to conclude any such arrangement.
b. Non-Exclusive Worldwide Arrangements. Univision and its controlled Affiliates may enter into bona fide agreements to permit one or more unaffiliated third parties, on a non-exclusive basis with no right for such third parties to further license or sub-license, to directly exploit (i.e., itself or by means of affiliates, with no right for such third parties to further license or sublicense) any Univision Content (including any Specified Univision Content) on a worldwide (other than the United Mexican States) basis, including the United States and the Sales Agency Territory (other than with respect to any Specified Rights to any Specified Univision Content which have been previously specified in an Activation Notice that has not been withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.b); provided that, such third-party agreements are a necessary component of an overall arrangement featuring the United States as the primary territory for exploitation in which the majority of the revenue from such arrangement are reasonably anticipated to derive from the United States (e.g., a worldwide (other than the United Mexican States) arrangement with Warner Bros. for the distribution of a theatrical motion picture or a global arrangement with a consumer electronics manufacturer for interactive television sets, etc.) (such a third-party direct exploitation agreement that is compliant with this Section 7.b., a Non-Exclusive Worldwide Arrangement). Subject to Section 6, Televisa shall be authorized to make available, for distribution in the Sales Agency Territory during the Sales Agency Term by existing or potential Territorial Licensees, and render Sales Agency Services with respect to, any rights to Univision Content that may be exploited by third parties under a Non-Exclusive Worldwide Arrangement as if such rights to Univision Content had been included in an Activation Notice delivered by Univision (it being understood that any such rights to such Univision Content may not be withdrawn by Univision under Section 2.b until such Non- Exclusive Worldwide Arrangement terminates or expires, without renewal or extension);
c. Exclusive Worldwide Arrangements. Univision may also enter into exclusive bona fide agreements if such agreements would constitute Non-Exclusive Worldwide Arrangements (but for the fact that they are exclusive and without regard to the United States generating the majority of anticipated revenue); provided, that such exclusive agreements shall be either (i) subject to Televisas prior written approval, or (ii) subject to the payment to Televisa of its sales agency fee equal to 20% of the gross receipts derived from such agreements (i.e. all amounts actually received by Univision and its Affiliates from the applicable third parties pursuant to such agreements that are not actually returned pursuant to the terms of the applicable agreements) with respect to the Sales Agency Territory, with all allocations with respect to the Sales Agency Territory to be made on a good faith basis; and
d. Other. Univision shall (reasonably promptly after entering into any such arrangement or agreement under Section 7(b) or Section 7(c)) inform Televisa of (and keep Televisa reasonably apprised with respect to) any such third-party arrangements or agreements permitted under this Section 7. In addition, from time to time Televisa may request from Univision reasonable information regarding exploitation pursuant to Section 7(a) of Univision Content by Univision within the Sales Agency Territory during the Sales Agency Term, and Univision shall respond to such requests in good faith.
8. Sales Agency Fee. Televisa shall be paid by Univision a fee in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of Gross Receipts (the Sales Agency Fee). For the avoidance of doubt, Televisa shall not be entitled to a Sales Agency Fee for any amounts derived from (i) the direct exploitation of any Univision Content (including any Specified Univision Content) by Univision or its controlled Affiliates in the Sales Agency Territory during the Sales Agency Term in accordance with Section 7(a) hereof or (ii) third parties pursuant and with respect to Non-Exclusive Worldwide Arrangements conducted in the Sales Agency Territory in the Sales Agency Term in accordance with Section 7(b) hereof.
9. Sales Agency Expenses. In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 5(g) and Section 8, Univision shall reimburse Televisa for all Sales Agency Expenses, but such reimbursement for Sales Agency Expenses shall not exceed (unless otherwise authorized in writing by Univision) five percent (5%) of Gross Receipts, measured on a continuous and cumulative basis (the Cap). For purposes hereof, Sales Agency Expenses shall mean all actual, direct, out-of-pocket, third party, auditable expenses actually paid by Televisa in connection with its performance of the Sales Agency Services in accordance with this Agreement and internal overhead and personnel costs reasonably allocated to the performance of the Sales Agency Services in accordance with this Agreement. The Sales Agency Expenses shall not include expenses relating to Televisas attendance or participation at industry trade shows (e.g., NATPE, MIPCOM), which expenses shall be borne exclusively by Televisa and not reimbursed by Univision. Subject to the Cap, Televisa shall be entitled to recoup its Sales Agency Expenses out of Gross Receipts; provided, that Televisa shall provide to Univision appropriate documentation evidencing the expense and payment by Televisa of any such Sales Agency Expenses.
10. Ownership; Payment Direction of Gross Receipts. Televisa expressly acknowledges that this Agreement does not and will not grant to Televisa any right, title or interest of any kind or character whatsoever in or to any of the Univision Content (including any Specified Univision Content) or any ownership rights in or to the Gross Receipts with respect thereto; and that the same shall be and remain Univisions sole and exclusive property, to be distributed, if at all, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subject to Section 6.d.ii and except as otherwise agreed by the parties, each License Agreement shall specify that all license fees and other amounts payable by the applicable Territorial Licensee shall be paid by such Territorial Licensee directly to Univision to an account designated by Univision in writing. Notwithstanding such payment directions, except as otherwise agreed by the parties (including pursuant to Section 6.d.ii), in the event that any Gross Receipts are received by Televisa or its Affiliates, Televisa shall remit all such Gross Receipts to Univision as promptly as reasonably practicable but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after Televisa or any of its Affiliates has actual knowledge that it is in receipt thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, if Univision notifies Televisa in writing that it believes in good faith that any Gross Receipts have been paid
to Televisa or its Affiliates in error, Televisa agrees to investigate the matter to determine whether any such Gross Receipts have actually been received by Televisa and, after due inquiry, Televisa agrees to notify Univision of the results of such investigation (and if any Gross Receipts were received in error, to remit such Gross Receipts to Univision within five (5) Business Days of actual knowledge thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, all compensation payable to Televisa with respect to the Specified Rights in and to the Specified Univision Content shall be payable only as provided hereunder.
11. Withholding. Univision may deduct and withhold from any payment to or for the account of Televisa pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as it in good faith determines it is required to withhold with respect to such payment under applicable tax laws, and shall promptly remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authority. Within thirty (30) days of any such remittance, Univision shall furnish to Televisa the original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably requested by Televisa. Televisa shall deliver to Univision a duly completed IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form thereto) claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States withholding tax on payments made by or on behalf of Univision pursuant to this Agreement, and shall update such form as required by law or reasonably requested by Univision. For so long as Televisa has complied with its obligation pursuant to the preceding sentence, any U.S. federal withholding tax required to be made by Univision with respect to payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made at a rate not exceeding the rate required by law giving effect to the IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) delivered by Televisa to Univision. Univision shall cooperate in any reasonable manner requested by Televisa to minimize Univisions withholding tax liability.
12. Delivery. To facilitate and enable Televisas performance of the Sales Agency Services, Univision shall deliver to Televisa materials (including appropriate sales, distribution and marketing materials) with respect to the Specified Univision Content as may be agreed by the parties from time to time in writing (and in such time-frames as may also be agreed in writing) and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Televisa, as reasonably requested by Televisa, in connection with the performance of the Sales Agency Services.
13. Statements; Payments. Univision shall account to Televisa on a quarterly basis (forty-five (45) days following the end of each calendar quarter), by sending Televisa an accounting statement showing the Gross Receipts received by Univision since the last accounting statement delivered by Univision to Televisa pursuant to this section, accompanied by remittance in cash to an account designated in writing from time to time by Televisa of any amounts due Televisa as specified herein and therein, including any Sales Agency Fee and Sales Agency Expenses (subject at all times to the Cap and, if requested by Univision, prior receipt of appropriate documentation therefor) payable to Televisa. Sales Agency Fees and Sales Agency Expenses not timely paid within each such quarterly period shall be subject to late charges, calculated at an interest rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (as defined below) plus 2% (or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower), and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment. The Prime Rate shall be defined as the rate which JPMorgan Chase & Co. (or any successor thereto or other major money center commercial bank agreed to by the parties hereto) announces from time to time as its prime lending rate, as in effect from time to time.
14. Audit Rights. Each party (the auditing party) shall have the right, at its own expense (subject to the final sentence of this section and the provisos thereof), to engage an outside reputable certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the other party, to audit the books and records of the other party (the audited party) pertaining to Televisas Sales Agency Services with respect to any Specified Univision Content, to the Gross Receipts received by Univision, and to other matters directly related to the services called for by and the payment provisions of this Agreement during regular business hours upon thirty (30) business days written notice to the audited party; provided that not more than one (1) audit is conducted every twelve (12) months during each calendar year; and, provided further, that such audit shall not interfere with the audited partys normal operations, and in no event shall such audit last for more than thirty (30) consecutive days. The auditing party shall solely bear the cost of any such audit; provided, however, that (1) with respect to any audit by Univision, if such audit reveals an underpayment by Televisa to Univision of any amounts of Gross Receipts received by Televisa (it being understood that Televisa may not have received any Gross Receipts), then Televisa shall promptly pay to Univision such underpayment and, if such underpayment equals or exceeds the greater of five percent (5%) of the amounts owed or $50,000, shall also bear the cost of such audit, and (2) with respect to any audit by Televisa, if such audit reveals an underpayment to Televisa of any Sales Agency Fees or Sales Agency Expense reimbursements, then Univision shall immediately pay to Televisa such underpayment and, if such underpayment equals or exceeds the greater of five percent (5%) of the amounts owed or $50,000, shall also bear the cost of such audit.
15. Trademarks. Univision grants to Televisa, during the Sales Agency Term, a non-exclusive license to use the trademark Univision and other marks, names and logos used by Univision (the Univision Marks) during the Sales Agency Term in connection with the provision of Sales Agency Services. Univision shall promptly after the execution of this Agreement provide to Televisa its style guide and any additional specifications with respect to the use of the Univision Marks by Televisa, and any use of the Univision Marks that does not deviate (other than in immaterial respects) from such specifications shall not require Univisions review or approval, but any use that does so deviate will be subject to Univisions prior review and written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Televisas use of the Univision Marks will inure solely to the benefit of Univision. Televisa acknowledges that, as between Univision and Televisa, the Univision Marks are and shall remain the exclusive property of Univision or its Affiliates. Televisa shall have no right and shall acquire no proprietary rights to the Univision Marks by virtue of this Agreement.
16. Univision Representations/Warranties. Univision hereby represents and warrants that it is free to enter into and perform this Agreement to grant to Televisa all rights necessary to provide the Sales Agency Services (including use of the Univision Marks), and to have Televisa provide the Sales Agency Services.
17. Televisa Representations/Warranties. Televisa hereby represents and warrants that it is free to enter into and perform this Agreement and to furnish the Sales Agency Services.
18. Indemnification.
a. Other than with respect to matters that are subject to Univisions indemnification obligations hereunder, Televisa hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Univision and its directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, partners, Affiliates, successors and assignees from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, law suits, judgments, settlements, expenses, losses, and costs (including without limitation reasonable outside attorneys fees) (collectively, Losses) solely in respect of or in connection with any Third Party Claims arising out of, or resulting from, (a) any breach or failure or alleged breach or failure of any agreement, warranty, or representation made by Televisa hereunder or (b) Televisas willful misconduct or negligence in the rendition of the Sales Agency Services in accordance herewith; provided, that the foregoing indemnification rights shall not be available to the extent that any such Losses arise on account of Univisions breach or failure or alleged breach or failure of any agreement, warranty, or representation made by Univision hereunder (including for the avoidance of doubt with respect to Losses arising out of Univision Content or Univision Marks, in each case, infringing or violating the rights of any person). Except with respect to any breach of Section 6(f), Televisas liability for indemnification under this Section 18 shall not in any event exceed the aggregate Sales Agency Fees paid to Televisa within the immediately preceding thirty (30) months. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Televisa shall have no indemnification obligations with respect to any actions or failure to act by any existing or potential Territorial Licensee under any License Agreement.
b. Other than with respect to matters that are subject to Televisas indemnification obligations hereunder, Univision hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Televisa and its directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, partners, Affiliates, successors and assignees from and against any and all Losses solely in respect of or in connection with any Third Party Claims arising out of, or resulting from, (1) the development, production, distribution or other exploitation of the Specified Univision Content or Univision Marks, or (2) any breach or failure or alleged breach or failure of any agreement, warranty, or representation made by Univision hereunder; provided, that the foregoing indemnification rights shall not be available to the extent that any such Losses arise on account of Televisas breach or failure or alleged breach or failure of any agreement, warranty, or representation made by Televisa hereunder.
c. A Third-Party Claim means any claim brought by a Person other than Univision or Televisa or any of their respective Affiliates. Any Losses with respect to Sections 18.a. or 18.b. shall be reduced by: (a) the amount of any net tax benefit ultimately accruing to the party seeking indemnification (the Indemnitee) for such Losses hereunder on account of such partys payment of any amounts in connection with such Loss; (b) insurance proceeds which such party seeking indemnification has received or will receive in connection with such Losses; and (c) any recovery from third parties in connection with such Losses; provided, however, that the party from which indemnification is sought (the Indemnitor) shall not delay payment of its indemnification obligations hereunder pending resolution of any tax benefit or insurance or third party claim if the Indemnitee provides the Indemnitor with an undertaking to reimburse the Indemnitor for the amount of any such benefit or claim ultimately received; and provided, further, that the Indemnitee shall have no obligation to obtain any such insurance proceeds or recovery from third parties if and to the extent the Indemnitee is subrogated (in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitor) to such Indemnitees claims in respect of such insurance or third parties.
d. The following procedures shall govern all claims for indemnification made under any provision of this Agreement. A written notice (an Indemnification Notice) with respect to any claim for indemnification shall be given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor within thirty (30) days of the discovery by the Indemnitee of such claim, which Indemnification Notice shall set forth the facts relating to such claim then known to the Indemnitee (provided that failure to give such Indemnification Notice as aforesaid shall not release the Indemnitor from its indemnification obligations hereunder unless and to the extent the Indemnitor has been prejudiced thereby). The party receiving an Indemnification Notice shall send a written response to the party seeking indemnification stating whether it agrees with or rejects such claim in whole or in part. Failure to give such response within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice shall be conclusively deemed to constitute acknowledgment of validity of such claim. The Indemnitor shall have the right, upon written notice to Indemnitee within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice, to assume the defense of the matter giving rise to the claim for indemnification through counsel of its selection reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, at Indemnitors expense, and the Indemnitee shall have the right, at its own expense, to employ counsel to represent it; provided, however, that if any action shall include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee and there is a conflict of interest because of the availability of different or additional defenses to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall have the right to select one separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on its behalf, at the Indemnitors expense. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully to make available to the Indemnitor all pertinent information under the Indemnitees control as to the claim and shall make appropriate personnel available for any discovery, trial or appeal. If the Indemnitor does not elect to undertake the defense as set forth above, the Indemnitee shall have the right to assume the defense of such matter on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnitor; provided, however, the Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any claim without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitor may settle any claim at any time at its expense, so long as such settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant of a release of the Indemnitee from all liability with respect to such claim.
19. Early Termination Following Change of Control. Univision shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, upon written to notice to Televisa, following a Change of Control (as defined in the Investment Agreement). If Univision delivers such a termination notice to Televisa in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement shall terminate one (1) year following delivery of such termination notice; provided, however, that in the event of such termination, Televisa will be entitled to receive, for the remainder of the then- current term of any applicable License Agreement, Sales Agency Fees, Sales Agency Expenses and any other amounts due and payable to Televisa, in each case, relating to License Agreements executed by Televisa in accordance with this Agreement prior to such termination, and the provisions of this Agreement shall survive with respect to such License Agreements.
20. Force Majeure. In the event that Univisions ability to deliver any Specified Univision Content or Televisas ability to perform the Sales Agency Services is materially interfered with or delayed by compliance with governmental regulation or order, or by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the party so failing or delaying, including acts of God, war, insurrection, fire, flood, accident, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation (a Force Majeure Event), neither Univision nor Televisa shall be liable for any Losses whatsoever arising out of any such interruption of service or delay or failure to
deliver or perform under this Agreement, and the applicable Activation Notice may be suspended by either party for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days. Each party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any such Force Majeure Event, the expected duration thereof, and its anticipated effect on the party affected, and make reasonable efforts to remedy any such event, except that neither party shall be under any obligation to settle a labor dispute. If the Force Majeure event materially interferes with or delays performance by one party for more than sixty (60) days, the other party may terminate the affected Activation Notice by delivering written notice to the affected party. If the Force Majeure Event materially interferes with or delays performance by one party for more than twelve (12) months with respect to a substantial portion of Specified Univision Content in the aggregate authorized under Activation Notices, the other party may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Specified Univision Content in the affected portion of the Sales Agency Territory by delivering written notice to the affected party. In the event of termination, Univision will assume responsibility for the servicing of any License Agreements previously entered into by Televisa in accordance with this Agreement (including the right to directly collect any payments owed by licensees) and Televisa will cooperate in good faith with the transition of such accounts to Univision. In the event of such termination, Televisa will be entitled to receive, for the remainder of the then-current term of any applicable License Agreement, Sales Agency Fees, Sales Agency Expenses and any other amounts due and payable to Televisa, in each case, relating to License Agreements executed by Televisa in accordance with this Agreement prior to such termination, and the provisions of this Agreement shall survive with respect to such License Agreements.
21. Confidentiality. The terms of this Agreement shall be confidential and not revealed to any third party except to the respective partys attorneys, bankers, accountants and representatives (each of whom shall observe confidentiality), or as required by law, stock exchange regulation or judicial, regulatory or administrative process or order. In addition, all confidential information relating to Univision or the exploitation of the Specified Univision Content to which Televisa or any of its employees is given access or which is otherwise made available to Televisa or any of its employees by Univision in the course of its engagement hereunder in connection therewith (including without limitation the terms of all agreements (including License Agreements) to which it or any of its employees may have access or which may be solicited or developed during the course of its engagement hereunder in connection therewith) is deemed confidential and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Univision. Further, Televisa agrees that all such confidential information shall be used by it and its employees solely as required to perform the Sales Agency Services and otherwise perform the services contemplated hereunder or as otherwise approved in advance by Univision in connection with Televisas engagement hereunder and not for any other business or personal purpose, and shall not be given, lent, made available or otherwise divulged or communicated in any way to any person, entity or corporation without Univisions express written consent, and shall be immediately returned to Univision upon Univisions request. The provisions hereof shall apply mutatis mutandis to Univision for the benefit of Televisa with respect to confidential information relating to or developed by Televisa (including with respect to Televisas provision of the Sales Agency Services). The confidentiality and other restrictions set forth in this Section 21 shall not apply to information that is previously known to or in possession of the other party and not otherwise subject to a requirement to keep confidential, that becomes publicly available by means other than a breach of these confidentiality provisions, that is received from a third party without a duty of confidentiality owed to the other party, or that is required by law, stock exchange regulation or judicial, regulatory or administrative process or order to be disclosed.
22. Dispute Resolution. Any disputes between Univision and Televisa solely regarding Univisions and Televisas contractual audit rights hereunder and not the findings or results of any audit shall be subject, mutatis mutandis, to the Arbitration Procedures set forth in Section 15.1 of the 2011 PLA. All other disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be subject, mutatis mutandis, to the dispute resolution procedures, jurisdiction, venue and service of process provisions set forth in Sections 15.2, 15.3, 15.5 and 15.6 of the 2011 PLA.
23. Modification. This Agreement shall not be modified or waived in whole or in part except in writing signed by an officer of the party to be bound by such modification or waiver.
24. Waiver of Breach. A waiver by one party of any breach or default by the other party shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default whether or not similar and whether or not occurring before or after the subject breach.
25. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be deemed duly given upon actual receipt, and shall be delivered (a) in person, (b) by a generally recognized overnight courier service which provides written acknowledgment by the addressee of receipt, or (c) by both (i) facsimile and (ii) email or other generally accepted means of electronic transmission, addressed as set forth in Exhibit A or to such other addresses as may be specified by like notice to the other parties.
26. Assignments. Either party may assign its rights hereunder and delegate its duties hereunder, in whole or in part, to a controlled Affiliate able to perform the assignors obligations hereunder, and either party may assign its rights hereunder and delegate its duties hereunder to any person or entity to which all or substantially all of such partys businesses and assets are pledged or transferred. No such assignment or delegation shall relieve any party of its obligations hereunder. Any such assignment or delegation authorized pursuant to this Section 26 shall be pursuant to a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any rights, duties or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by any of the parties, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this prohibition shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms and provisions hereof shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the parties. Except with respect to the indemnification rights provided for in Section 18 which shall confer such rights and obligations specified therein to the respective Indemnitors and Indemnitees in accordance therewith, nothing contained herein, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
27. Governing Law. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts between California parties made and performed in that State, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
28. Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees to execute any and all additional documents and do all things and perform all acts necessary or proper to further effectuate or evidence this Agreement including any required filings with the United States Copyright Office.
29. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original instrument and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
30. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason or to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall continue in full force and effect and in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated; provided, that the aggregate of all such provisions found to be invalid or unenforceable does not materially affect the benefits and obligations of the parties of the Agreement taken as a whole.
31. Headings. The subject headings of the sections and sub-sections of this Agreement are included for purposes of convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
32. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no party hereto shall be liable to any other party under this Agreement for any special, consequential, punitive or exemplary Losses (including lost or anticipated revenues or profits relating to the same) arising from any claim relating to this Agreement, whether such claim is based on warranty, contract, indemnity, tort (including negligence or strict liability) or otherwise.
33. Survival. Without limiting the provisions of the final sentences of Sections 19 and 20 hereof, Sections 5(g) (solely with respect to reimbursement of costs and expenses that have not been reimbursed), 8 (with respect to any Sales Agency Fees that are or become due under License Agreements executed by Televisa prior to termination of this Agreement), 9, 10, 11, 14, 18 and 21-33 shall survive any termination or partial termination of this Agreement.
